You have to investigate elsewhere first until the crime scene is released for you to investigate.

Sorry, I'm still stuck
Spoiler
Do you mean Elkwood's apartment?   The door is locked, and I can't get in.
The guy and Cloudy Days won't say anything else, either.

Frodo - if you're having trouble getting in, perhaps you should see the person who's in charge of the building.

I got in   :D

Spoiler
I spoke to the superintendant, who wouldn't let me without a search warrant.  So I got a warrant to search Elkwood's flat.

After that, the rest was quite straight forward.  A nice little game.

Thankyou Renegade   :)

Hey Maggie

To get search warrant, you...
Spoiler
type in SEARCH WARRANT on computer in your office.  That will give you address for the court, where you can ask the judge for a search warrant.   :)

Great game.  I have been able to get into the apartment and checked all the rooms and found nothing except what was on the table.  I can not do anything with it, and the sheriff is still at the scene.  Can someone help me?

Hey guest 

Spoiler
The initials from the knife are not enough.  Type in SEAN MALLORY into the computer, and you will get his address.   ;)

Now I'm stuck.

Spoiler
I've got the knife, viewed it, found the initials SM, got the adress to Sean Mallory, but there's no one there and the door is locked
[close]


Edit: I've got it.

Spoiler
I suddenly could go to the far right of the trainstation, so I did and searched the flowers there before I headed to Sean Mallory

I have gotten to the part of the game where I need to type in the computer,but after the search box pops up,I can't type anything in the search engine. What am I doing wrong? Also,once the search box comes up I can't move.

Strange... I could only reproduce this behaviour by keeping the CTRL key down. Might that one be stuck? CTRL-M should take the input box down.

It's correct that you can't do anything else when that box is visible.

i type in search warrent and hit enter and it says no entry,whats going on?
Title: Re: The Murder of Adrian Elkwood
Post by: Leon on Tue 27/01/2009 19:15:24
That's because 'warrent' is unknown to the computer. Type in 'warrant' (with an A) or 'search warrant' and you'll get a response.
