I also wondered if they wanted us to think the man was retching because of something to do with the crime, but it was too obvious and he was really just drunk and the bloody footprint was a better lead. Then I worried that that was what they wanted us to think and he'd have valuable info after all. So I ended up voting to walk over to him, but actually hoping that others would choose the footprint instead! The more I think about it, the more I think I chose suboptimally, given that the guy may have nothing to do with anything whereas at the very least the maker of the footprint passed by very soon after the crime if they're not the killer, so my resolution for tomorrow is to mull it over for longer before casting my vote .
But fingers crossed no matter which way we go we'll be able to get to the bottom of this very serious incident, and there are just different routes we can take to get there.
