  • 2 of 8: You're supposed to investigate the murder at the nearby bar.  So why not go take a look?
  • 3 of 8: Talk to the owner of the bar, and see if you can get any information that way.
  • 4 of 8: The Morningstar Mine scrip would suggest a suspect.
  • 5 of 8: Take a look around the Morningstar Mine.
  • 6 of 8: And ask around.
  • 7 of 8: One of the miners will confess to the crime.
  • 8 of 8: He'll also agree to go to jail peacefully if you handle the conversation correctly.
