I have just started. I am in the Antique shop. I have the key to the trunk. I am unable to get to the shelve next to the desk for the other puzzle to obtain the evidence key. Do I need to get the owner to leave first and how do I get him to leave?
If your character has annoyed Alexei so that he shouts as soon as you click on the puzzle, you'll need to switch to a different character. It might take a couple of switches before you're able to look at it.

Thanks, I have progressed but I am stuck again. I need to get a sample from thr town hall fire in the glass sample container. I have a containter, but where in the town hall do I get the sample?
You have to finish and get everything needed for the suspect board before you will get the accelerant chromatograph report.
Check what else needs to be done on your To Do list. Also check the walkthrough suspect board picture to see what other evidence you need (beside the report).
