1717 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.
