It's not "D sucking", just thanking someone for a very informative and well made guide.

 

Thanks for the guide by the way, helped me get through a few cases I needed to do quickly.

Yeah I'll be working on it the next couple days again, sorry for delays. I worked 8 straight days in a row and also just bought a new car so things have been semi hectic (I have been on a little bit and doing some boosting, just couldnt put the time in to do a full case and write a guide). Cases take me about 2 hours sometimes with having to do the writing and capturing gameplay. :)

 

I double checked, it seems right to me. Did you collect the clues in a different order and have the questions listed differently?

 

Sure, that's what I'm here for. :)

 

This will be very helpful because i just ordered this game for $8 with free shipping

 

I miss a few guides,

Case 19: House of Sticks

 

-------------------------

Newspapers: 0

Clues: 11

Interview Questions: 3

-------------------------

 

Location: California Fire and Life

 

This case starts out a little different. You're Jack Kelso. Now scroll down the letter. When you pull out the case file, read the paper behind the pink slip for the next clue.

 

Clue 1/11: Settlement Letter

Clue 2/11: Buchwalter Case File

Clue 3/11: Slip of Paper

Obtained automatically.

 

Now follow the secretary upstairs to have a friendly chat with the boss man.

 

 

Location: Elysian Fields Site

 

Look Familiar? We were here earlier. When you arrive walk into the office and search for clues. One on the far left desk and the other two are on the far right desk. If you went into the office in the earlier case, you'll find the same memo.

 

Clue 4/11: Cement Delivery Receipt

Clue 5/11: Demolition Order

Clue 6/11: Company Memo

 

As you're leaving a man will tell you to buzz off, beat him up and he'll give up the next location.

 

 

Location: Demolished House

 

Go to the back left side of the house and inspect the red flag marker near where two guys are standing taking a smoking break (next to a pile of flammable wood I might add..) Correct piece is the bottom piece.

 

Clue 7/11: Broken Wood

 

Now run for you life. You can't just flat out outrun the bulldozer, and this may take a few attempts but the quickest way to end it is to jump up on the first larger platform (3rd obstacle) and turn around and shoot the guy. Took me about 3 tries to get it timed right.

 

After that's over go to the telephone to get the next location.

 

 

 

Location: Keystone Film Studios

 

Talk with the security guard when you arrive. He will leave for lunch, so hop the fence to gain access. Take your first right, go past the horse and take a right again, then take a final right so that you see a bunch of piles of lumber . For the first clue check the short stack of lumber near the far fence and on the right. For the next clue check the stack opposite of that.

 

Clue 8/11: Lumber Delivery Receipt

Clue 9/11: Inferior Quality Lumber

 

 

Now go back around the building and enter the screening room. Check the table directly to the right as you enter. Then open up the machine box and start the film for a puzzle.

 

Clue 10/11: Film Canister

 

Top Dial - Center

Bottom Dial - One spot left of Center

Flip the switch at the bottom and proceed to watch the film.

 

Clue 11/11: Film

Obtained by completing the puzzle.

 

Leave the room, hop the fence and use the phone in the security hut.

 

 

Location: The Blue Room

 

A short cutscene will be shown. Afterwards you'll receive a new location.

 

 

 

Location: Elysian Fields Site Two

 

During the cutscene you notice a flickering light across the street. Go investigate, in the building and up the stairs to trigger the next scene. No matter how much you fight back, you will get whooped in the end and stuffed in a trunk.

 

 

After you break free find the closest vehicle and drive. Now you must escape your pursuers. I found it fairly easy because I cut through some gas station parking lot took a hard left into an alley, no worries if you don't lose them immediately there's plenty of alleys in between and eventually you will lose them.

 

You arrive at Elsa's apartment and after a cutscene case closes, 5 stars.

Clue 5/7: Improved Land Value

Clue 6/7: Buchwalter Case File

 

Then a cutscene will automatically take over. You will appear outside the Hall of Records afterwards.

 

 

Location: Hall of Records

 

 

Enter the building and speak with the guard at the front desk. He will direct you to go upstairs. Go up the first part and take a left, its the first right. Once inside, the guy at the desk will take you the "S" shelf. Hit "A" on the vibration. Flip the page, and then tap the name "C.Sheldon" on the second page.

 

He will then direct you to a nifty map. Adjust the dials appropriately. The left dial moves a little up, and the right dial, take it way to left. Then the guy will take you to an old fashioned calculator.

 

Clue 7/7: Elysian Lot 1876988

 

Enter in : 1876988

Then : division button

Enter in : 90 000

Then hit the golden lever on the right for your answer which is 20.

 

He then informs you A = 0 so your number will be 21. The 21st letter of the alphabet is "U". Go to the shelf and inspect at the vibration. Second page, tap the lot number 1876988, owner being Randall Jones.

 

A cutscene will take over and you will pull your gun out. Kill them all to proceed to the next cutscene.

 

 

 

Location: Kelso's Apartment

 

Simply answer the phone and obtain the next location.

 

 

 

Location: Leland Monroe's Mansion

 

When you arrive, some of your old buddies are waiting for you. Time for an infiltration. Kill all the guys in the courtyard but be careful and don't rush too much, your squad will take care of most of them. After you kill the first ones in the courtyard a second group will appear at the top of the steps.

 

After clearing them out kick in the door and shoot the first two quickly before they kill you. Then head into the double doors behind the bear, aim immediately, kill him and continue.

 

You will come across a lady with a gun. She will shoot you in the arm, but you only knock her out.

 

 

Continue through the mansion shooting enemies (its fairly linear). Monroe will be in the room right after the bathroom. After shooting him in the leg you get to search his office.

 

First check the safe for a few things: a green book with payroll information in it. Blank shares worth $400,000 each. Finally a file on Dr. Fontaine. Next, search the table behind the desk for a picture of the Suburban Redevelopment Fund as well as a newspaper. Finally check the folder on his desk for names of the people who wouldn't sell their houses.

 

A cut-scene will occur and the case will finish.
