The magistrate seeks out the names of the visitors to the room some minutes before the fight broke out. As the man is a defender he seeks out his name and rank and, he looks to see if there is any connection; family or business associated with them and the prostitute. Also if there is any connection between the defender or his companion either physically through resemblance or any associations seen about the city.
He also asks at the inn whether the man with the red hair had any visitors aside from the prostitute, and whether they recall them going up to the room together or whether the prostitute went alone to his room. He asks around the commercial districts to see if the red haired man visited any shops or any guilds, to establish his movements about the city, as well as the duration of his stay.
He asks about the identity of the woman found dead, and her name to see if she was indeed a prostitute known about the city?
Finally, he asks for the names and descriptions of any other visitors, before ordering the room be sealed so it can be properly searched, until the investigation is over.
A warrent is placed upon the description of the red haired man for his questioning, as so far he is the prime witness and suspect.
Back at the mortuary, the magistrate asks for the dead thuggish individuals posessions to be catalogued including any citizenship papers to see if they are local or bear any tattoos or affiliation to known organisations.
