A map marker will now always point towards him, but he will rarely have anything helpful to add. He will promise you assistance from himself and all the town guards during the investigation. In the Palace of the Kings, Jorleif will be shocked to hear about the third killing, and will gladly accept your help. The guard will not be particularly surprised with the lack of hard evidence or witnesses, and will point you towards Castle Steward Jorleif for assistance and helpful advice. Calixto Corrium claims he 'saw a fellow running away, but didn't get a good look at him', while local beggar Silda the Unseen didn't make it to the scene before Susanna was dead and the killer gone. On a rare venture outside the Hall of the Dead, Helgird will be little help at the moment, but will point out that Susanna's coin purse is still intact. For starters, he tasks you with questioning the three townsfolk gathered around the body. The guard also explains about the local guards being too busy with the war to do any real investigation, and they would gladly accept some help from you. If you approach the scene, a guard will stop you and explain a bit about the murders.
