Complete Investigation first. That mission covers the suspect interviews with villagers connected to the missing item.
Start Crime Doesn't Pay once the theft stories have been gathered and the final case step appears.
Speak with the village chief to confirm the culprit. This is the short evidence handoff step that moves the quest from investigation to capture.
Bring in Markus when the final objective points to the culprit, then complete the quest to receive the item reward and Delesyian contribution.
This is a compact resolution quest rather than a full investigation chain by itself. Most of the suspect work happens in Investigation.
If the objective does not appear, check whether The Stolen Item and Investigation are already cleared in the same chain.
The contribution reward is tied to Delesyia progression, so the quest is useful even when the glass art item is not the main goal.
