What matters here is the tight-knit community to which one to add must, otherwise you will remain alone – or can enable better murder come in this habitat naturally rather rare.. Once you find a corpse in a freshly dug grave in the cemetery.

Another time a Japanese has separated from his group and now trundles dead in the mash. Even more there’s little thefts – embarrassing for Polt because his favorite hangover Czerno involved “Separate Tables” I was particularly amused.. It’s about Gregor Wondruschka, a rich miser. When his wife died and the daughter moved to Germany, decides the eccentric, to rent space at Bartl Bruno, a silent outsider who alone lives in a dilapidated house. That only has a single bed instead, it does not interfere. Initially, they sleep together; later he urges the Bartl out of bed, treated him on the shabbiest and provoked him – until one day Gregor is found dead. No wonder that the suspicion falls on equal Bartl … Let us surprise you!
