Introduction

In order to complete the case 100% you need to aquire additional documents. You do this by asking all available questions during the questioning of the witnesses. This will unlock clues which then allow you to ask Paula for those documents. Some documents need to be clicked on in the file to unlock the option to get other documents, so I suggest looking at every document.

This guide provides you with the solutions to the blueprint sections, followed by the documents you need to provide to prove your claims. I separated the file you need to check, the document you need to select and the paragraph you need to choose and put them behind spoiler bars individually so you can get hints in case you're stuck and want to figure the rest out for yourself. I also provided the important keywords that matter for the specific claim to understand why a parapgraph needs to be selected.

Why did Kirchmann call the police?

Sadly, I haven't figured this one out yet, sorry. I still wanted to publish the guide to not hold back on he solutions to the other questions. If you're able to help with this question, feel free to comment or post it in the game's Discord.

Thanks

A big thanks to the developers for making this amazing game and for answering questions in the Discord when help is needed.

I was able to reach the "Why did Kirchmann call the police?" question, but I only had the one chance to use the warrant to search Wolf's house to get his confession letter. How would I be able to use the same warrant to search Emilia's home to get her diary since I'm only allowed one search warrant?

Laika [author] 27 Aug @ 6:21am

@danigula2 Sadly, I don't exactly remember how to get the letter. I advise joining the game's discord server to ask the developers: https://discord.gg/QKnpE2eQ

daniguia2 27 Aug @ 5:22am

I don't get Kirchmann's letter in mi inbox. Am I missing something from the interrogations or it is just a bug? It prevents me from getting the final statement in court.

GodKilla- 25 Apr @ 5:56am

The documents for Why did Kirchmann call the police? Are #1 the confession of Kirchman (think Suspects) keywords My Anna, I'm sorry... But I believed her; #2 Diary page with Wednesday (Suspects?) I'll just need Wolf to... he'll see; #3 letter from W. Kirchmann to A.H. Kirchman P.S. the girl will die and it will be because of you

Amazor Flakes 11 Apr @ 11:40pm

For the final bit, I will be able to give some enlightenment. It also seems as though, any bug now has been resolved.

For this part, you will want to use the letter that was sent to him by his Uncle the day after she was taken away. You don't really have to have more than just this document, but you could pick this document, as well as the letter that was written while he was on the front lines. The final document is the diary entry, where Becker calls Anna the same name as in the anonymous letter.

Here is the reason why, if you are curious before you click the documents.
Becker convinced Kirchmann that she was cheating on him, and he was going to call the police on her as a way to scare her straight, then come in at the last moment and save her. But then Becker took the opportunity to take it too far.

I won't say anything else, as it plays out perfectly right there at the end.

You only need to get two out of the three right to press Wagner and get him to admit the truth.

[ZSU] Dave247 9 Apr @ 8:25am

During Wagner's testimony, the answer for the third conclusion you have is incorrect. Perhaps it was changed in one of the updates.
The dialog asks if the pair were violent, to which is denied, to which you need to present the Record of Interrogation under Suspects , specifically the third paragraph.

I just finished the game - and I got the last one as to
Why did Kirchmann call the police

capitalist helldemon 31 Mar @ 10:57pm

For Otto Wagner's interrogation, interruption 2, you can also use the Record of Interrogation with Walter Hentz, with the paragraph beginning "Heidi led me to their place..."

BruderSamedi 30 Mar @ 8:09am

In the Otto Wagner investigation, the third option just disappeared on me. I did Heidi leaving the room first, then Emilias statement. Then he confessed and said his colleague did the beating. I had no more option to use your first on the list. So is the order important here? Does it change the outcome?

Strangely, I think you should be able to use the document Peters gives you before (missable) when Wagner claims there was no violence used in the police, but that is not accepted.
