Correct questions confusion
I am beginning to get the hang of this game. Took some time but I am getting there. But even though I am now promoted to Vice I still don't really understand what are good and wrong questions. I sometimes asked ALL the available questions I had and got interesting answers too but still the score for correct answers was zero... I don't really get that! When is a question correct and when isn't it? And how can I have zero correct questions when I did interesting answers?

Other than that I am liking the game a lot right now, specially after finally understanding how the truth, doubt and lie options work.

the questions are not correct or incorrect, you have to ask all the questions you can. It is your response to the answers that is correct or incorrect. I mean truth/doubt/lie. If you choose the correct response you will get additional info, or a confession, or s/th useful in any case. If use choose wrong the target will either close down, or get defensive, which means no info for you.
ps: there is always only one correct response, it is either truth/doubt/lie

Hm, if that is so, then why doesn't the 'scoreboard' tell me how many correct responses I gave…? Besides, since I know how the truth/doubt/lie options work, I only had someone stop talking once and I solved all my cases up to now. But always with a lot of questions incorrect, according to the games system.

It's not a real problem because, as I said, I solve my cases anyway, but I was just curious. ;)

that is arguably a flaw in the game. You can solve all cases even if you get everything wrong, it certainly loses the challenging aspect.
when it says incorrect questions it means incorrect responses, in other words questions that you didn't follow up with the right response

Ah, ok. Well, I am beginning to get bored with the game anyway. It feels more and more like I am controlling the pause and play control of a Nickleodean animation... Drive somewhere, find clues, interrogate people... Very repetitive tasks. Yes, that's how it goes but the linearity of it all is getting more and more obvious. It's a bit annoying having to interrogate someone and talk as if he is the bad guy did it when you already know he isn't. Too many things are clear and obvious and you hardly have to or can actually think for yourself. It's also annoying that you often can't do anything until you find the right evidence somewhere: again, very linear. I just noticed I played the game 8 hours which is okay. A lot of games are finished in 4 to 5 hours so it's not big deal if I stop playing it now.

i don't see how things are clear in the game, since everyone hides something it seems. As for the repetition the game is not supposed to be played in one go. Take your time with it, if you get bored just stop and continue another time. The cases and interesting detective work are the juice of the game and are greater in short bursts i think.
