How to start the “A Quiet Ripple” investigation in Crimson Desert
Save
Save
Head to the “Red Fox” trading post in northern Deleisia.
Talk to Vaskal, the post manager, who needs your help. He’ll hand you the “Investigation Journal: Broken Silence”.
Read the journal under “Key Items” in your inventory, then interrogate five suspects.
Interrogate everyone connected to the theft
Grano, the freelance swordsman
Save
Grano is on the south side of the post, sitting by a wooden shack.
He tells you the warehouse keeper, the appraiser, and the foreman all left for an early-lunch break together.
Oswald, the warehouse keeper
Save
Oswald stands east of the post, by a tree near some crates.
He says he began his inspection at dawn, then left to tidy the logbooks for an evening trade deal, and that a merchant was due that same evening.
Tarbo, the packer
Save
Tarbo is on the south side of Cornfield Farm, among the sunflowers.
He claims he was in the warehouse from sunrise and couldn’t leave all morning.
Renata, the appraiser
Save
Renata is also at Cornfield Farm, north side by the drying racks.
She arrived at dawn, left to meet someone, and returned when the sun was high—by which time the porcelain was gone.
Sairin, the trader
Save
Sairin is under an awning on the north side of Cornfield Farm.
She says she’s just a passing merchant who stopped by the warehouse on business and left as the sun was setting.
Durvan, the foreman
Save
Durvan hides farthest away, behind a wooden pen at Cornfield Farm.
He reports working from dawn until the sun stood high in the sky.

Time to draw conclusions and report back to Vaskal at the trading post. Pick these answers in your journal:
The porcelain was still there just before lunch, but vanished after everyone returned.
He was tidying the logbook for the evening deal when he noticed the porcelain was missing.
He stepped out for an early-lunch break—Grano can confirm this.
He was too busy working to leave the warehouse.
She says she was only in the warehouse after sunset; the keeper can confirm.
First the warehouse keeper and the appraiser left in order. Then the transport manager walked out empty-handed.
These choices will finger the culprit. Now confront the schemer hiding out at Cornfield Farm.
You can face and restrain Tarbo to bring him to justice, claim your reward, and close the case.
