File No. 002: The Bungled Burglary

Overview: A man has been murdered in his home while his wife was in the shower.  A suspect is in custody, but the evidence isn’t adding up.
  • Open File No. 002 from the case menu.
  • Alfendi will fill you in on the details and the three suspects:
  • When asked “Who’s the criminal? Just go with your gut feeling to start with,” answer as you like.  To move straight to deductions, select a culprit.
  • Select Goldie Potsby-Mahn and tap OK.
  • After a cutscene with Goldie, you’ll be sent to the deduction screen.

  • Select “Nature of attack.”  You’ll enter the crime scene reconstruction.
  • Tap on Mr. Potsby’s dead body, and then tap on Corpse.
  • You’ll notice he was stabbed to death.  Lucy needs to find the murder weapon.
  • Tap on the Broken Glass next to the body.
  • Alfendi will note that the present glass has already been expunged and a series of questions begins.
  • To question “What were the circumstances of the stabbing?” select “Totally out of the blue.”
  • This resolves the “Nature of the attack” deduction and returns you to the deduction screen.
  • Select “Method of entry” next.
  • You need to find “Where else could someone get in?”

  • Use the camera icon to zoom in, then tap on Blood-Stained Towel and select “This is the evidence!”
  • Goldie’s statement about the locked balcony and hearing her husband scream is updated.  This resolves the second deduction.
  • Alfendi and Lucy deliberate and two new deductions are added that must be cleared up.
  • Select “Decisive evidence.”
  • You’re asked “What evidence belies her statement?”
  • Tap on the body and zoom in.
  • Tap on Broken Glass.
  • When asked “Which statement contradicts what this evidence proves?” select Goldie’s “Statement 1.”
  • This resolves the third deduction.  Select “The murder weapon.”

  • Tap on Goldie’s portrait to begin interrogating her.
  • When asked “Was the victim stabbed from the front, back or side?” select “From the back.”
  • To question “What suggests the victim couldn’t have been dozing when attacked?” select “The window was smashed.”
  • To question “What evidence proves that Potsby-Mahn’s statement is a lie?” select “Broken glass.”
  • To question “What does the broken glass show?” select “The timing of the stabbing.”
  • To question “Who’s the culprit?” select Goldie Potsby-Mahn.
