What objects do I need for a conviction?

  • 1 of 13: You need three things for a conviction:  a motive, a method, and a time for the killing to take place.
  • 2 of 13: You need a bunch of items proving these factors, and then show them to the guilty party.
  • 3 of 13: Once you get all of the items, follow these steps:
  • 4 of 13: Talk to Baxter a bit.
  • 5 of 13: Mainly, ask him about Focus.
  • 6 of 13: And show him the papers.
  • 7 of 13: Show the lab report to both Baxter and Dunbar.
  • 8 of 13: Do the same with the ticket.
  • 9 of 13: Once you've shown all of these items to the two, find them together.
  • 10 of 13: This is the tricky part.  They will meet in the shed.
  • 11 of 13: Finding them at the right time is tough, so save a lot, under different names.
