Hello, I keep getting cases (on hard difficulty) where the crime scene gives me 3 exact clue.

It happened repeatedly.

Right now I got 3 right handed note from the same case.
Last case was 3 footprints.

How the hell am I supposed to finish cases like that with multiple suspects and limited questions allowed to the Specialist that can tell me to whom the footprint is from. Worst part is sometime that specialist is someone's alibi... screwing me over...

Is that normal that I keep getting cases like that?

Not only is it normal. It will get even worse.

How the hell is that normal?

Did I wasted my time by taking Smart detective skill? Whats the point of having hair or tailor analysis if it means that i'l end up with 3 clue of the same type...

It's all random. You won't always get cases like that, but when they do come they're rather like buses..

If you hadn't spent skill points on your smart skills you wouldn't know the notes were right handed. You would just know there were notes. At least this way you could exclude left handers from matching those notes.

One of the perks of joining an agency is if you get three right handed notes and 4 alibis with the corresponding townie (banker, librarian, postal clerk) while your contact is the barber, you can put it in the agency case files and someone who has that townie as a contact can go through those alibis and id'ing those notes in about 30 seconds.

Oh, and wait till you get 4 with 3 alibis with that townie.

My kind of case, 11 suspects all right handed, 4 right handed notes at crime scene, librarian will answer exactly one question. Good times.

Badass, you better choose that question wisely. ;)
