The Tailor lied to me. I couldn't get an uncooperative suspect to tell me her alibi, so I went to the Tailor to see if the thread found was hers. It was ... or so the Tailor said. I jumped to conclusions, and accused Madame Perigen. *sigh* The reall killer was Monsieur Alonzo. Drat! I had to pay off Shady, and now I'm left with a spinning head and a miserly cash balance. I was doing a Really Hard case, just to try it. Can someone explain to me why the Tailor lied? After all, Madame Perigen's supposed alibi was with the Tailor. I need some answers!

Is there something special about the WE "...wearing the victim's watch"?

I "falsely" accused someone with:
PE+no or false alibi + the WE "wearing victim's watch".

Needless to say I was very surprised I was wrong and now never take the watch clue as a "true" WE positive.

PS the tailor did not lie for you...

mave - 'wearing the victim's watch" is exactly as good or lame as any other suspect evidence. If you are correct that you had confirmed a false alibi, and found witness and/or PE - that should have been your killer. Perhaps a bug - though in my similar cases, it turned out it was my faulty notes.

Suspect has no or false alibi
Support the suspect with Physical Evidence
OR ask other suspects about him/her for Witness Evidence. I've got this in my head. Yes, the Tailor did not lie. I've cleared this much up. Now Hard levels seem easier...

Mave Nave, As Dogberta pointed out, if you had a false or none of your business alibi,you should not have had a false. Having a clammed suspect that won't give you an alibi is not good enough, that leaves you with PE+WE which does not equal guilty.

But it doesn't matter what the witness says they saw, only that they saw something and the person they saw has a fake alibi or two witnesses against them.
