Dear detectives. Have I been blind? I am in Shanghai and came across a new(?) store. Have I never seen it before in my... 13 years or so around these boards? I've searched the boards and didn't find anything either... The NPC is interested in "coins from the Roman Empire".

Is this a new feature? Have I missed it completely for some reason? How do you get these coins?

Your truly (confused),
Devi

Theres also a couple new items in the detective shop as well...a necktie and a journal.

Oooo, yeah, you're right!

Interestingly, the tie is not an accessory, it's an item of clothing - like a jacket or a dress. How very kinky! :D

I don't remember from past years of Sleuth and just noticed. Scoured the message board with no clues but found this post! If I catch a flash of gold out of the corner of my eye I'll know to investigate!

Oh good, it's not just me!!!! I too am in Shanghai and went into the Antique Store. I popped into Game Announcements but didn't see anything. Exciting!!

The search for Roman artifacts starts in Shanghai. I'm letting this sink in.

Perhaps these objects are cursed too as in the Friday the 13th TV-series.

Do any items show up for you? Empty for me

I think maybe Ben is still working on this expansion...he is in Shanghai....

I've just got an interesting clue from Big Lucy. I don't think I've ever seen it before, but I may be wrong.

"Wow. Getting that must have been incredibly hard."

Is it new? Does it have anything to do with the new antique shop? Is the accent on "incredibly hard"? So many questions, and so far no answers. :)

Interesting. For me, "incredibly hard" suggests favour cases. Maybe the coins will be given as occasional rewards for favours?
