Everyone should get an Alias card that the news can report. Example: The newspaper can report 'Black Magic' Strikes Again! Largest Heist This Year! Then only friends or gang members can be in the know about who "Black Magic' is. When you go to clubs you can use your Alias Identity. You can post ads in the paper with your Alias Identity and have people meet at your second home etc. Finding out someones real identity then becomes a major part of the game! Your Alias card would be dropped at the scene of every crime as well and detectives can always click the door of a business/car empty parking spot etc. after a crime to see the alias of the thief. If it was a gang heist the gang leaders card would be left. This will allow players to focus on clues from multiple crime scenes all tied to one person or gang entity. With this system it will be more fun/practical doing meaningful detective work in my opinion.
