This walkthrough is freakin awful. It's more like a synopsis of the story. Doesn't help me solve cases at all.

House of Sticks
For this case you will play as Jack Kelso. Read the paper work from Elsa and look at the case file. You will now need to interview Elsa. Doubt her twice and accept the truth for the third. Now after another scene go to Elysian Fields.

Here there is a receipt for cement on the first desk, demolition orders and a memo from Monroe. Beat down the foreman outside and he'll lead you to the rubble of where Lou died.

Look into the broken lumber next to the two workers on the far left corner of the house. This will reveal that the wood is from a movie studio. Next the foreman will try and run you over with a bulldozer. Quickly run and shoot at the driver to slow him down. You don't need to actually hit the driver, just the dozer itself to slow it everyone once in awhile. Once reaching the end of the trench go to a police phone and find the address to Keystone Studios.

Bribe the guard and enter the lot by climbing over the gate, head into the theater on the left and mess with the film reel. Use the top knob to fix the focus and the bottom knob for the speed. Last hit the switch to play the film containing suspects Benson, Sandler, Fontaine, Monroe, Gordon, and Worrell. Before leaving check the table on the right with a film reel for Suburban Redevelopment Fund. Now use the phone to talk to Curtis Benson about what he knows.

After another scene head to the second Elysian Fields site. Go to the top room where you will face three enemies at once. They can cheat during fighting by punching through your blocks and it's scripted that you loose anyway. After more scenes grab a car quickly and drive to Elsa's place. You'll be pursued by goons the whole way so drive as recklessly as needed to get to your goal.
