Prove Riley's innocence

Level Overview

Welcome to Tricky Story Story 2 Level 39! At the front desk of the high-end dress luxury custom shop, the clerk is crossing her arms and sternly questioning Riley (orange-haired girl in the center). It turns out that Claire's trio (on the left) secretly stuffed expensive jewelry into Riley's backpack in the previous level and maliciously accused her of theft first. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/8). You must link various hidden clues around the counter within the 60-second time limit. By using receipts on the ground, magnifying glasses, spray on the counter, and even the parrot birdcage and computer cash register on the right, continuously execute 8 successful self-evidence and evidence collection operations. Each correct investigation and presentation will add "+1" to the progress bar. Collect 8 points to completely prove innocence and slap Claire in the face!

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Pick Up Genuine Receipt Scattered on Left Floor (Progress 1/8): Observe the marble floor in the lower left corner. A white small long strip of paper is lying there. Click and hold this shopping receipt to pick it up, drag it and hand it directly to the clerk lady on the right to prove you have a legal consumption receipt.
2. Pick Up Vintage Magnifying Glass at Riley's Feet (Progress 2/8): Click the handheld magnifying glass that fell on the floor in the center directly at Riley's feet. Put it into the bottom active tool tray as a prerequisite tool for subsequent optical identification. Progress bar successfully adds 1.
3. Use Magnifying Glass to Scan Anti-Counterfeit Tag on Backpack (Progress 3/8): Drag the just-obtained magnifying glass to the surface of Riley's brown backpack on the counter. Aim at the barcode or anti-theft magnetic strip on the backpack and hold still for 2 seconds. The system will automatically read the genuine original code data.
4. Lift Blue Cleaning Spray on Counter to Eliminate Forged Evidence (Progress 4/8): Click the blue stain removal cleaning spray bottle placed in the lower right corner of the counter. Drag it to the stain grid on the counter that was deliberately blackened by Claire and rub and spray to wipe it clean.
5. Move Away Black Industrial Paint Can in Lower Right Corner (Progress 5/8): A black industrial paint can is placed to the left of the silver trash can in the far lower right corner. Press and hold the paint can and move it to the right edge to expose the monitoring connection cable interface hidden in the lower layer of the cash register.
6. Click and Light Up Computer Cash Register on Counter (Progress 6/8): Click the multimedia cash register computer screen standing in the center of the counter to light it up. Slide the time progress bar on the screen to call up the closed-circuit monitoring footage (CCTV video) from 10 minutes ago and directly show the clerk the entire crime process of Claire secretly stuffing jewelry.
7. Open Golden Birdcage on Right High Platform to Release Parrot (Progress 7/8): Move your view to the right. An exquisite golden round birdcage is placed on a tall stone pillar. Click and slide open the lock of the birdcage. The colorful parrot inside will fly out and shout loudly: "Claire is lying!", serving as key avian witness testimony to greatly shock the clerk.
8. Reverse Search Claire's Pink Top Pocket (Progress 8/8): When all the iron evidence and monitoring in front are locked (progress bar reaches 7/8), click Claire herself on the left who is nervously sweating. Riley will step forward and directly search out the truly missing product anti-theft tag buckle from Claire's clothes pocket (progress bar fills to 8/8 full). The clerk immediately publicly announces Riley is completely innocent and calls the police. Claire's trio is completely scared silly. Reverse exoneration counterattack great success!

Pro Tips

• Multi-finger parallel action flow: Picking up receipt on ground (Step 1) and picking up magnifying glass (Step 2) are all in the lower half screen. In the first 5 seconds of opening, you can use left and right hands with two fingers together. One finger hands the receipt to the clerk while the other finger puts the magnifying glass into the backpack, which can save at least 4 seconds.
• Pay attention to video monitoring unsealing sequence: The final computer recording (Step 6) is the heavy core that shatters lies. Be sure to ensure that the black paint can on the ground has been moved away in Step 5 to unlock the lower layer wiring. Otherwise, even frantically clicking the screen will only show "NO SIGNAL" error and cannot play.

Common Mistakes

• Mistakenly handing receipt on ground to Claire on left watching the joke: Claire is the enemy core who is trying hard to frame us. If you mistakenly stuff the innocent self-evidence receipt (Step 1) into her hand, it will be crumpled and destroyed by her on the spot, causing exoneration dead end and announcing failure.
• Only clicking golden birdcage without sliding down to unlock: The birdcage (Step 7) on the high platform is locked very tightly. If you just simply "Tap" in the original position, the cage door will not open. You must execute the downward sliding lock tongue gesture.
• Directly grabbing clerk lady on right at opening at 0/8 progress: The game has a strict evidence matrix chain algorithm. Before using the receipt, monitoring and bird call in front to push progress to 7/8, the clerk lady's trust value in us is hard-coded to zero. Frantically clicking her in advance has no feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why didn't the progress bar above add when I scanned the bag with the magnifying glass (Step 3)?

The magnifying glass has weak physical coordinate judgment offset. You need to precisely stop the reticle crosshair in the magnifying glass center transparent area on the white-bottomed black anti-theft tag on the side of the backpack without shaking. If you just hover in the air on Riley's clothes or marble front desk, the system cannot record legal scanning data.

Do the current "120" gold stars in upper right corner have any other uses in this level?

That represents the total star assets you have accumulated in the entire Hidden Heiress main line in the previous 38 levels. It proves your impeccable perfect puzzle strength to everyone. It does not change the pure physical investigation rule of this high-end custom shop exoneration 8-point counter.
