Unbelievable, isn't it? On my first case of the day.

Here's what my contact screen said:


I wanted to talk to Shaiming Bao, the Fish Monger.

Shaiming was an important contact of mine, but I knew he couldn't give me any special help on this case.

I needed to check a suspect's alibi, and he clammed up. The usual options appeared, ie. Sweet talk, intimidate, judge his character, bribe.

I've reported this as a bug, but has anyone else faced this? Betrayal at the hands of the person who always promised to cooperate because you caught his friend's murderer?

Is he angry because I haven't bought fish for the past couple of days? Is there some townie against sleuth backstabbing rebellion on?

Well then it's most definitely the scariest bug I've encountered, even though I managed to unclam him with my dazzling smile *wipes forehead*

For heaven's sake, Shaiming. I don't always get the time to buy your wares.

If it were from the nemesis hunt, it would say something along the lines of "he was an important contact of mine but... blah blah" (can't remember but it does make mention that he can't help you on this case.

Sounds like an ordinary bug to me. Hopefully its a one time issue and not something that will continue to pop up...still annoying though Lawliettine!

Yes indeed Biggie. And I hear you're on a nemesis hunt. Let's hope you have luck with your contacts!

All right, this is serious. I reported the bug the first time it happened. No improvement.

Today, my contact again clammed up on me TWICE.

*sinks head into hands*

I've had this happen when I check alibis before I check the crime scene for the trace evidence. After I checked the crime scene for the evidence my contact was ready to help me. Perhaps the 'bug' is the game doesn't like leftys like me doing things in reverse order.

Yes, but I'm talking about a witness evidence contact, not a PE contact.
