Busy investigating the third death in "Casebook 1899: The Leipzig Murders"

Posh...

The second case in Casebook 1899: The Leipzig Murders took me an hour and a half. I had actually found the solution, but I thought I was still missing something since one piece of evidence on the deduction board wasn't connected to the others. So I did another round of questioning people, but there were no missed dialogue options. So I just went for it, and it looked like I got it right.

The puzzle of a thousand clicks...
It was a far more interesting case than the first one, with lots more character interactions and even some mini-games. One involved the typical convoluted fuse box which was trickier than it looked. And yes, you can skip it, but where's the feeling of accomplishment in that? Another one was a far simpler lockpicking simulator which offered no challenge at all. You just had to correctly line up the tumblers. But it was fun for variety's sake.

Not much skill involved here...
The third case really has me running around. I've played The Leipzig Murders for 4,5 hours in total now, but I think it'll be a while before I solve this particular murder. I have an intuitive feeling of who the real murderer is, but I'm still lacking the evidence to put that person up on the deduction board. Thankfully I just unlocked a new area, so I'm hoping to finally crack it!
