I have to use the most awful things to protect myself from being exposed.
I prefer to use the magic of Google Chrome, which allows me to browse in incognito mode. It's very convenient and effective. By the way, Sir Aris, why do you smile so much and so often? It's unsettling and seems suspicious.
Added 3 minutes later I apologize for my late appearance; I was enjoying some restorative treatments, which I can't go a day without.
Can anyone confidently say who killed White Night and why, and what is the guard doing while criminals are running around in the city?
No apologies are needed, dear lady. I will try to answer you with the greatest possible clarity.
His Majesty believes that there is a conspiracy in our city, and White Night was only the first victim. However, it is unknown who this conspiracy is against. Perhaps against the king... Or maybe not. But the next blow could fall on any of us. Also, any of us could be one of these scoundrels... Among the townspeople, rumors are circulating that one of them is the elf Tyr, who was taken into custody tonight. And some even accuse the king himself!
Be careful, dear Aravella, and don't let malicious tongues confuse you.
As for the guard, we were distracted that night by the elf Tyr's riot in the inn, as well as by some trading schemes that he and the northerner Ormhild are involved in. No one expected that at that moment, somewhere else, a much more terrible deed was being committed... But please, don't worry about all this, Lady Aravella, I promise that all the criminals will inevitably be found and punished. I have been protecting Alrion for many years, and I will cope with all the internal problems that threaten this city. As long as I live, no conspiracy will go unnoticed under my nose.

By the way, my dear lady, have you ever wondered why I never smile? It's not at all because I'm not as cheerful a person as Sir Aris.
It's simple, dear Aravella. My smile is not visible because of the helmet when I see you.
In broad daylight, the guards keep an eye on cursed vagrants like you. It seems they need to keep watch at night as well.
Feel free to keep an eye on me; I have nothing to hide. What interests me more is who you trust and who you don't. You don't need to answer about the king; it's obvious that you trust him as much as you trust yourself, but I would be interested to hear about the others. I'm not very good at fortune-telling, so I'll be identifying the wrongdoers by their facial expressions, gestures, and slips of the tongue.
Tried to delve deeper into the topic of lamentation:
For now, this is all that comes out. But I don't really like this kind of explanation.
I agree, Hasumi, all this sounds rather far-fetched... Reread the description of the White Night's role - it doesn't say anything about the northern war, so it's worth digging further in this direction... Did anyone happen to kill any commanders from some northern wars in their beds? But "lamentation" shouldn't be dismissed either; why would the GM come up with such complex names for fictional authors of news reports? Why would they come up with names at all!
The murderer can plant one additional piece of evidence at the crime scene. It should point to them and be original (i.e., don't leave clues that are only noticeable to those with exceptional perception). As for the complexity of these clues, there is quite a bit of freedom, but the GM still reserves the right to reject a specific clue, with or without explanation.
Perhaps I was too hasty. It seems very likely that Tyur was simultaneously blocked by the town and the Mafia, in which case he wasn't Mafia (or the Mafia has a technical ability to block themselves?). More likely, the second kill didn't go through due to the target's natural protection, or perhaps the killer simply hasn't started killing yet...
By the way, my dear lady, have you ever wondered why I never smile? It's not because I'm not as cheerful as Sir Aris. It's simple, dear Aravella. My smile isn't visible because of the helmet when I see you.
If such a wonderful and kind knight is hidden under this helmet, as his warm words suggest, then I can rest assured about my life and know whose reliable shoulder I can lean on.
Perhaps Sir Tyur is a maniac? Considering how outrageously he behaves, I wouldn't rule out that possibility.
or does the mafia have the technical ability to block themselves?
Unfortunately, the mafia's cunning may know no bounds. I once heard that the mafia even attempted to assassinate their own teammates, but I'm not sure if these rumors are true. Perhaps tonight they didn't kill anyone at all and used some non-displayed night action instead of a kill.

Tyr had a problem with the innkeeper of the inn where he was staying – the elf broke down the door to his room and refused to compensate for the damage. Tyr claims that someone locked him in the room and wouldn't let him out, so he had no choice. In any case, because of this incident, Tyr had to spend the rest of the night under the supervision of the city guard.
I think this is all a description of one city block. The gang of scoundrels has a much tastier action – redirection.

While investigating this murder, Selenid and his partner searched the surrounding area for anything suspicious, but found nothing.
Obviously, it's about protection.

And although the townspeople didn't like her, a murder,
especially such a brutal one
— is always sad. I think there's a hint here about this:
Maniac ND: Murder, not blocked. ND2: Murder, ignores natural protection.
In total: All city actions are in place, one is blocked by the city, one is a maniac's murder. 2 roles with natural protection, excluding bandits.
