Hey everyone, I know there's already some posts on this topic, but I had a slightly different question than that being posed in that discussion.

I was wondering if the only way to guarantee you're accusing the right person is if you have both physical evidence and 2 pieces of evidence from witnesses linking the suspect to the murder?

Because I've falsely accused a few times when I have accused a suspect who had physical evidence and 1 piece of evidence from a witness linking them to the murder.

As you can imagine, this has gotten rather costly :S - as that shaddy character is growing to be a greedy bugger lol

And I've already lost poor PrincessJo (the original me lol) to 3 false accusations after completing nearly a 100 cases with her - but being unable to pay off the shady bugger, as his price gets higher and higher the more experience points I gain.

So, part 2 of my question is
(I have a feeling I'm rambling now and no one's gonna read this far down in my poor post lol) :

How do I pay off the Shady Character, if every time I solve a case, his asking price goes up greater than the amount I get paid for solving the murder?

The only thing I can think of, is if I join an Agency, and solve a big reward mystery, and get a big payout from that - I could pay the shady bugger off doing that? - Or will the amount of his asking price jump even higher if I solve a big reward mystery?

Alright - now I'm pretty sure I have lost anyone reading this post lol - but if anyone has any advice, this princess would greatly appreciate it - as she doesn't want to have to make a princessjo number 3 lol - and eventually she would like to put a lil crime solving money aside to buy some crime fightin gear.

Thanks a ton!
Jo

The real money doesn't come from solving the cases but from the sales of equipments. Do easy cases so your exp points doesn't increase greatly and so your shady price too. then sell any useless equipments by doing favors.
note: U should post this question to "Newbies Questions" Board. More responses.

the que u r missing is FALSE ALIBI! a suspect can still be innocent even if he has witness and physical evidence against him cause hes alibi is real. if u stick to the following u never need to pay shady:
False alibi + 2 witness = guilty
OR
False alibi + 1 physical = guilty
the only thing that can go wrong with it is if u play at 5 am after heavy party ;P

as for ur second question: i dont know if other agencies give the hunt money to their agents, but i assume they dont. we just use it for rent, so no one needs to pay rent regulary. as delvin said the big money comes from selling favor items. the only advantage in agency regarding shady is that if u dont have enough money ur team mates will probably loan u some. also u have less chance of needing to guess cause u can ask their help with ur cases.

What reda said!

And I would add, 2 witness = guilty, even with no info on alibi or physical evidence.

At least, in my experience, this has never done me wrong!

So, if I find a suspect with no alibi and a piece of evidence (hair for example), he/she is guilty for sure?

Yes, Toxin. Or, if you are short on the evidence skills, one suspect with 2 eyewitnesses. (I have had the same experience as Dr. Maltese with that, and relied on it heavily before having some PE skills.)

PS. The fake alibi is *KEY* if you are relying on PEs.

toxin its fake alibi or if the suspect says he has none. if u just didnt find the alibi then its not enough for conviction.
