/Yes, I already tried testing his contacts; the only person I encountered from Amanton was completely unaware of who Anselm was. I think Ar lied in his biography. Which, however, is not surprising: there is even a description like "parents are supposedly from Amanton, but I don't remember very well..."/
Anselm takes out his mobile phone. - Alright, anemone-buddy, go find out what's going on here.
I thought it would work like this. Logically, I see two ways in which people with no connections to the criminal world could get involved in human trafficking: 1) Either by investigating a kidnapping case, in which case you would need to ask the Count who is missing, find their families, and start a normal investigation and questioning process. Or simply look for families whose relatives have gone missing. 2) Try to use their services - perhaps they supply prostitutes to the local market (or maybe not).
Given Miranda's strange behavior, we can certainly put her under surveillance (direct or even indirect questions seem too dangerous to me), but there is always a chance that this is a false lead. Going to the bar and looking for suspicious people seems like a dead end to me, unless you try to go through point 2, but I reread the description of the canteen, and although it is noisy, I don't think it's the place where criminal deals are made in this city. Although, as Revan says, who knows.
Where do we go? Where do we end up when we save the world?
Actually, I would also prefer this option primarily because it seems the simplest, although it may not relate to the essence of the matter and simply provide buffs to the "anime" factions. But we need Lokken, who isn't available, and I'm tired of waiting, so I decided to share my thoughts.

- Count, - Veserod nodded to the aristocrat, putting more respect into this gesture than he usually did. - Grandfather Gungnir didn't tell me much about you. Actually, he didn't tell me anything at all. But from his expression, it was clear that he respected you. For me - for us - that's enough. We will check out these leads. If it's connected and if we succeed, we will find your slave traders and give them such a beating that they will crawl to your prison on their knees. When a scoundrel gets what he deserves, it's always right. But you should also know that we need this information. We won't be able to leave without it. So, if anything comes to mind, please share it. He nodded again, looking him in the eye like one honest man to another. - And this... - he scratched the back of his head. - Your city is, of course... big and modern... But on the way here, I really liked the lake. I see that you maintain a close connection with the water spirit, uh, the Water Maiden. Can I visit this place of power? To pay my respects. My heart feels that it might bring good luck. Even if you don't believe in such things.

Yes, that was the idea. Or simply "finding jobs for strong guys with the right skills." As the Count already told us, these guys are actively recruiting locals.

— Ha-ha, you're a funny guy, - the Count slapped Veserod on the shoulder, - I like you, so don't hesitate: I'll let the guards know that the road to the lake is open to all of you.
