Don’t worry, I’ll release her soon enough. But this glove belongs to the GenoHaradan Assassin’s Guild, which tells us that this was an arranged hit. If interrogation fails, then show them this glove. It may give you a clue as to who it is. Make sure to ask for a motive, their alibi, the glove, and their relation to the victim. You can also accuse them, but it may not end well if you find the right one. Instead, go to Captain Dunes.”.
