I am a little bit angry, I have just had to let my first killer walk, because none of my suspects would reveal the motives of my 2 prime suspects

Out of about 7000 cases, I'm averaging a success rate of about 82%. I've often had to quit cases due to sheer impossibility, reaching a dead-end, trying to gain a faction bonus or because I had to for "other reasons".

I still don't like quitting cases though :-p

Neither do I Mel but sometimes even the best detectives have to let a killer walk because of lack of evidence or uncooperative suspects and or witnesses, and letting a killer walk is better than falsely accusing an innocent man or woman

Sometimes I like to tell someone I'll do them a favour, then once I've started the case I'll immediately quit it and laugh in their face.

I never laugh in a client's face

Cases quite = 1283 :)

Nov-18-2015 19:54

And it would appear your nonchalance about catching murderers has actually been rewarded, Squirrel.

Sometimes I start a case, go to the map page, and know immediately that I am not interested in completing this particular case. So I quit it, and laugh in my client's face.

This highlights one more advantage to being in an agency, you can easily pass cases to co-detectives to analyze evidence for you which gives you a higher probability of solving.

but only subscribers can be in an agency and i have not subscribed

525 quit and over 9400 solved.

Many were intentional favor quits early in my career when I was trying to get the contacts I wanted. There are a 10, maybe 20 bribery quits. The bulk are simply being hopelessly stumped. It happens.
