I voted for Insight Park, too, for the same reasons.
I think the Harbormaster should be questioned soon. Specifically about anchors. Daggers can be hidden anywhere, but anchors?

Are we sure it is a murder weapon? It could have been used for flaying only. The dragonborn was killed elsewhere, with a blow to the head.

It is very suspicious. Especially because of what is left out. It is a very long jump from whispering words in an ear to death. Which death Selwyn was talking about? Tav apparently forgot to ask him about that.

That could be, but the person that gave the letter did have the same way of speaking as the real Magpie. I took that to be a hint.
