*Mevis would let out a sigh. Nothing really out of the ordinary. Looks like there wasn't any other clues here or at the very least, any clues that Mevis was capable of finding. It might be best to ask the sheriff for any more leads.*

"So, I heard that the merchant got into an argument with some shady looking person before he died. Do you know anything about that? Also, do you know if any of the rooms next door heard anything the night of the assassination? I am just kind of lost on how to use the current clues to find the culprit."
Peggy
The sheriff sighed, evidently quite annoyed by how things have been proceeding as well.

"Ah, the shady person... Yes, he's our prime suspect right now, and we have been tracking some of his whereabouts. I'd recommend that you wait for the investigation to finish later this day, then we might have more to work off. And while you would think someone would have heard *Something*, not a single damn patron claimed to have heard anything."
Robert
*Mevis would nod and rub his temples. Was there really nothing he could do right now other than wait? He was sent here to investigate after all. It was unusual that not a single patron heard nothing, but seeing how skilled the assassin was it wasn't beyond reason. Mevis for one doesn't pay attention to what goes on in the other rooms when he is staying an inn, or rather he tries to hard not to given the thumping and moaning... But perhaps it would be worth asking them himself to see if perhaps they weren't sharing details to a law enforcer but are more willing to share with young NS member. There was also dirt on the footprints and while they were shallow, he could attempt to try to find any matching prints outside on the ground by the window. Maybe the assassin may have left something there as well*

"Um, I guess I will wait for that investigation then. While I wait though can I perhaps speak to one of the people that were in a nearby room that night? Not saying you guys didn't do your jobs, but some people are bit more tight lip to law enforcement, so maybe I can get something from them? I'll also be looking outside by the ground for any more clues if that is alright."
Peggy
The sheriff nods, though it is slightly half-hearted, as clearly he's thinking about something, but he is still paying attention to Mevis. "If you can help out, that would be great."
Robert
"Thank you. I will try my best"

*Mevis would then head out of the inn and to the spot outside of the merchant's window. He would curse his lack of tracking skills. H already knew he was lacking in many skills as a hero, and this once more was another event to remind him how pathetic he was. He couldn't hide like Hitoshi, heal like Cecile, wield blades as well as Arthur, be as durable as Ralki, or be as capable of clearing out groups of monsters/undead like Kaisa. He was nothing more than an armorless weakling attempting to be strong with nothing but his bare fists.*

*But he couldn't just throw his arms up in the air and give up simply because he lacked the skills. NS was counting on him to help this village, he wanted to help this village. They shouldn't need to live in fear of the assassin coming back, and Mevis wanted to have that merchant rest in piece knowing his murderer was caught. So even though Mevis was about as good as a deaf bat in this scenario, he would attempt to get get on the group and start looking for footprints and any other clues on the ground and possibly on the wall/window of the merchant's room.*
Peggy
A closer look reveals that there were footprints on the wall. Clearly the assassin must have been quite good at climbing. As for tracing footprint on the ground, it's faint but they seem to lead from a certain side of the town. But not knowing what landmarks are there, Mevis would have to ask.
Robert
*While Mevis was somewhat introverted, he wasn't going to let that stop him from doing what needs to be done. He would find the closest person and ask them about the landmarks to get there and continue following the trail as far as he can*
