	NeonHenchman 10 Oct 2015 22:12 This game is quite a nice oddity for the system; I don't recall seeing a Detective game with action elements such as this (at least on the American market), and it didn't took me 20 years to do the first level.
	CristianNicolai 17 Jun 2020 21:26 Mastered, great game, thx for the set.
	mikeisafighter 22 May 2021 13:50 OK so what I was thinking was right. To get the no shortcut one, you have to interrogate the one you're planning to arrest first, then you arrest them, while trying to take as little damage as possible in the process. Hope that helps.
	mikeisafighter 22 May 2021 14:09 Oh and you have to interrogate the right people too before you interrogate the culprit of the case and then arrest. Man the shortcut cheevos sound so confusing but I finally figured it out. GL to those who attempt to master this
