[Royal Guard] Investigation into a residence fire/explosion

[Ayanula ...]

Following up on a lead into the case of a reported house having caught on fire and exploded in the Wharf district, I managed to locate the identified home-owner, known as Isaacs (description follows).  When I pulled him aside to interview him over the matter, he appeared to be extremely stand-offish.  I had to threaten legal action numerous times just to get a statement out of him.

>From reports, the home he was staying at evidently caught on fire several weeks ago, then culminated in a large explosion that caused reasonable damage to surrounding properties as well as inflicting injury amongst neighboring residents.

Isaacs noted that he was not the home owner and that the residence belonged to a young boy who'd gone missing for over a year.  He did acknowledge that he'd been staying there without elaborating on his connection to the boy or why he assumed sudden ownership after his disappearance.  Isaacs was also unable to provide any information regarding who might want to set his residence ablaze and was not present at the time that it happened.

Upon visiting the ruins of the home, I failed to find anything that could be submitted as evidence in the case.  However, I did interview several of his neighbors to discover unanimous accounts that he'd been reclusive and anti-social within the community.  It was also noted that he often brought numerous women home, suspected of being prostitutes.  One boy even claimed that Isaacs was well rumored to have been a mass murderer of children and ate their remains.

There is no evident explanation of why the residence exploded as a result of the fire.

While the investigation is on-going, all members of the Royal Guard on duty in either the BlkDragon District or Wharf District are advised to keep a watchful eye on this individual.  If present, be cognizant  for remarks made about alchemy or acquiring odd substances and mixtures.  The explosion at his residence may have been caused by such materials.  It is also very possible he may have murdered the child who previously lived in the dwelling, though bones or human remains were not found amongst the ashes.  He has already been reprimanded for use of unreasonable force against a young, female thief who attempted to take his food.  If he is identified harassing children, talking with younger males or females, it should be noted to your superiors, either a Sergeant or Lieutenant.

It is also advised not to make case-related arrests unless he is clearly committing a crime.
