In regards to room searches, we're still going to have them whether it's relevant to the case or not but for the next murder, we've decided to plan ahead of schedule and tell everyone that room searches will definitely be something that is happening along, so our victim and suspects can prepare beforehand.

Honestly, it's my personal fault for not remembering the possibility that the rooms themselves would be checked and not saying anything.

Hopefully this will make things run more smoothly in regards to the room checks without removing the aspect of allowing characters to search through them to allow more freedom in where they're looking for evidence. At least, this is the compromise that I can come up with without losing too much on that part.
