Can't start quest Anatomy of a Crime

[Bugabu]

When i discovered that Azar Javed was posing as Raymond, the detective, i didn't want to pay 200 orens for him, so i did every other quest possible and i discovered that i need to pay him to proceed to the final part of Chapter 2, the problem is that the option to pay him disappeared, and i can't unlock the quest Anatomy of a Crime... Please, if someone know how to solve this bug i'd be grateful.
(I tried to talk to him at dawn, noon, dusk and midnight and didn't worked)

The structure of the main quests in Chapter 2 is very complex, so I don't know if you're stuck or not.

Does it mean that you did the quest "A Gravedigger's Gratitude"? If not then talk to the gravedigger and use any dialogue option. It is possible to tell him that you have no confidence in Raymond?

If you can get the permission to enter the graveyard then follow the questline. Details:

The anatomy will be obsolete.

Sure. You didn't get a new dialogue option talking to Raymond after the gravedigger quest? Not concerning the autopsie, but a contract killing? And did you talk to Shani at her home ?

If so, then I have no other ideas - and it's most likely that you are stuck. I remember a post in 2008; it was mentioned that it's a bad idea to refuse the payment resulting in a bug - but it's too long ago. And I know that there's a bugfix for this situation, but this isn't applicable if you have investigated the graveyard already.

So if you find no other solution and want to continue then you should seek for savegame. I have a lot of savegames, but only on hard (or harder).
