Stuck on a murder case
Hey, it's been 4 days in game i'm trying to catch a murderer but can't figure out.

2 victims in 2 differents building,
I was first on both scene, cross nobody, no fingerprint, no footsteps (excluding victims ones).
Both died with a slashing weapon (find a katana on the second scene hide under a carpet)
the only thing i have is both was stalk by a black hair women when searching in their mails.
I check inside cameras footage and street camera footage and nobody match it, and i check every camera outside.
both murder are linked, but even checking camera their nobody seen on both scene.
There no sales record for a katana either.
no witness.
Wife of the second victim was a black hair woman, but wasn't her.
I'm at the point where i check all black hair women and put them on a list, i'm at 23 tagged....

and for 2 days no murder.

i might miss something any clue what i can check next ?

checked
-was first on the scene
-cross nobody, and nobody seen anything
-no foot/fingerprint
-no camera footage inside and outside
-mails both was stalked by a black hair woman (the only clue atm)
-found a katana but nothing on it just second victim finger print.
-both had blood message with no print, and weird pentagram
-both worked at different place.
-both had different related
-both lived at different place
-check all weapons record nothing about a katana
-first victim house had his vent open in bathroom no print either and never check this house this way before, check the passage and lead to outside and ofc out of range of any camera.
-checked telephone record nothing suspicious.
-check both workplace and there no related inside, i crossed all mails to see if anyone know both of them (that why i already spend 4 day until now)

i spend almost 10 hours on this one, had to stole all code from security, lockpicked all outside cameras, inside tel record, stole both weapons records.

ask all neighbours of the building and nothing.

Any ideas ?

I can't really offer any help, but i have been having the same issue recently actually. I've done quite a lot of cases and some have been difficult but nothing like every single case I've had recently. They have all been borderline impossible to solve through natural means other than just printing out every citizen file in hopes to find one with "brown hair male" or something (usually a ♥♥♥♥ LOAD of them so its kind of ♥♥♥♥).

Normally every case I've done up until this point has had some normal way of completing it, by actually investigating and finding evidence and clues as to the possible identity / motive. I have had absolutely none of that for about 6 cases in a row now. All of my most recent cases have devolved into find x person with x hair colour with 0 evidence to narrow it down further. Not sure of OP and I are terrible at the game, unlucky or there has been some bug in the case generation but since the new update I have had a really terrible time playing this game. Again I haven't had this issue in the past, normally every case has definitely felt able to be completed, if difficult but these ones seem just... bugged. Maybe the killers are just perfectly trained assassins... would be cool to think of it like that but i would like something to go on other than just hair colour and gender.

For what it's worth, your description of your case almost exactly matches my last 6 cases. I would of thought checking all the weapon sale records would actually be the way to go and lead to something, but absolutely nothing either. Personally I ended up just closing those cases and hoped for a new case that isn't like that (no luck so far).

my last one was a sniper, that killed 2 people, had to check both in front building cameras to figure out whose was the sniper, and by checking cameras i found someone tag on both so i just had to visit his home and find the weapon and it was done,btw no sales records too on this one, and took 4 hours to solve it.

But yeah murder cases shouldn't be that horribly hard, i don't mind on board missions, but here i need it to go futher in the story, there nothing and it's getting boring to have check everysingle person matching the description.
i'm not bad at the game or i think i'm not, i'm quite familiar to the genre, but i play on large map there too many people on it, checking every one will take ages.

my main issue is the NPC, how no one saw anything, how their no camera footage of anything close to what i'm looking for, my murderer is a freaking ninja avoiding all cameras, everybody, killing randomly, leaving no track.

i think of something now, on the second murder of my case they were two cops inside the house, is that something comon or i finaly found my murderer ? i have both print on the handle of the door.

cameras are not a magic bullet for solving cases

Have you tried reading the newspaper? Sometimes it has info you might have missed. For example, by reading the newspaper, I once found out that there was a crumpled paper next to the victim that I had missed and had both fingerprints and clues to the murderer's name.

That a good one, i never check news paper, and i found it was a police officer, as long as you don't examine them you can't figure out who are behind it, and it was a security guard of the in front building, so not in city hall. it was strange that i met 2 officers for a same case and follow that lead and it was that. And after looking at cameras the officer was there everytime near the death time.

Thx for the help.
