Shortly after nightfall, a police car was spotted in a residential area, stopping near an apartment building. Residents say the target was Arandor's residence. They entered his apartment and, apparently, prevented him from leaving for his business.
He was either blocking Mafia or Armstrong, most likely the latter. Plus, if this isn't just for show, Ar had no alibi that night, so he's not a clean player.

Eyewitnesses report that single shots were heard near the market. They claim the target was a woman who no one could identify. However, a bear meat vendor, who happened to witness the attempted murder, says she was definitely from the North. "I work with suppliers from Briggs, and that's why I know how to tell people from there apart. They have a much more confident gait, a proud posture, and pale skin," he says. "So, this lady was definitely one of them." The merchant also said he didn't see the attacker. Most likely, a long-range weapon was used. What surprised him most was the woman's behavior. She managed to take cover behind a wall from the shots, then shouted something, and several people immediately rushed to her aid. These strangers quickly ran in the direction from which the shots were fired. Unfortunately, the shooter was never found: neither by these people, who turned out to be the woman's bodyguards, nor by the military who arrived at the scene.
It's clear that Armstrong was the target. This becomes clear from the people who rushed to her cry, the description, and the fact that she survived. It becomes clear that Armstrong is not Arandor. Judging by the weapon, it's not Scar or Greed, so it's the work of a Mafia member or a Lieutenant. Most likely, the latter. But it's not clear why.

Apparently, the Investigation Bureau is conducting a survey of the population. Thus, tonight, its employees conducted surveys of many residents, including Lynx Depravado and Reinhard.
I think this immediately describes the alibi of the Commissioner and the journalist.

Late at night, a tragedy occurred. Sky met his acquaintance and went for a walk with him in a park, which is usually empty at this time. What happened between them is unknown, but a witness to the incident, who was dozing on a bench near the walking men, reports that he was awakened by Sky's cry, which combined surprise, fear, and anger. This cry was followed by mad laughter and a shot, most likely from a pistol. Hearing this, the witness hurried to leave the scene.
An assassination attempt by Envy, judging by the pistol and laughter. The Doctor saved him.

In addition, rumors are circulating in the capital that closer to dawn, Arandor visited an elite cultural establishment. Well, apparently, he is enjoying the company of pretty girls and expensive drinks. Particularly observant visitors noted that immediately after he left, a handsome young man approached the owner of the establishment and took a pack of papers from her.
Colonel Musang was checking. It seems obvious.

There are no clues or victims, so there is no one to suspect.
