The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft Hints

How can I get into the police station's crime lab?

  • 1 of 7: Head to the police station and find someone to ask for permission.
  • 2 of 7: Head into the chief's office and speak with Ezra Collig.
  • 3 of 7: He will tell you that the only officer with access to the lab at present is someone we've already met -- Con Riley.
  • 4 of 7: We're going to need to head back to the mansion and ask Con for access to the lab.
  • 5 of 7: Unfortunately, he won't leave the nurse's station until the area has been cordoned off.
  • 6 of 7: Once you've taped off the nurse's station, Riley will return to the station.
  • 7 of 7: You can then head past the chief's office and into the crime lab.
