You don't have to finish everything on the first day. Even at higher levels it takes a few days to solve a case (usually about 3 days for me: one to go on site and gather evidence, then start analyzing some, one to finish analyzing clues and do various other things at work, and I wait for the next day to go get my suspect and interrogate, because that can take a while and I have no idea what happens if the interrogation isn't finished when your work day ends).
As for analyzing samples, as you work more, your sim will become better at it. I think it is tied to your logic skill. Other things, like using the computer to cross reference testimonies, seem to always work.
Also, don't forget to prioritize tasks that are in the list on the upper-left. Those will increase your job performance and salary for the day, and they are usually pretty good clues as to what you should do next. Detective starts a little slow, but it's a fun career. I hope you enjoy it.
