	* Crimes committed by groups of people provide some distinct advantages and disadvantages for both you and security forces in general.

	Crimes committed by groups of people provide some distinct advantages and disadvantages for both you and security forces in general. Group crimes are often easily noticeable to any bystander, and the interrogation and subsequent confession of one suspect can lead to a sting on the entire group. On the other hand, these pairs or triads or even larger groups can be difficult to take down without a lot of manpower and commitment on the part of security forces. Changelings and sometimes traitors operate in groups, so you'll have to exercise extra caution when investigating crime scenes you think they're responsible for.		* Crimes committed by groups of people provide some distinct advantages and disadvantages for both you and security forces in general.

	When you do have multiple suspects, it's usually because of inconclusive forensics results. Because you're going to have to figure out the crime using more traditional methods along the lines of interviews, you should make sure to bring your universal recorder with you. Note that a universal recorder also acts as a universal translator, so you should be able to collect the testimonials of ~~sentient~~ slimes, monkeys~~, and, in the most bizarre of scenarios, [[Alien\|xenos]]~~.		* When you do have multiple suspects, it's usually because of inconclusive forensics results.

	When conducting interviews, make sure that you set out with a hunch. Only interview people and only ask questions that you think are relevant to the situation. However, in some cases asking a non-pointed question can throw a bluffer off and cause them to slip in their story. People who seem more friendly after moving on from a subject may be lying.		* When conducting interviews, make sure that you set out with a hunch.
