There were still a few days left before the upcoming Quest to meet and escort the Silvland representatives and Adventurers to the Rustlands, and I was currently on an investigative mission.
This would be the last night of investigating this current suspect, there was nothing suspicious about his behavior, so all that was left was to search the place.
The reason he was under suspicion was because he had recently been assigned to a job at the Academy, and was in a position that would give him access to sensitive information regarding the Academy and its students.
In other words, he was being investigated for no other reason than the fact that he had the opportunity to steal and leak information, but there was absolutely nothing to indicate that he had actually been doing so.
