As for the dagger we've found: I wonder why a murderer would leave the weapon behind. Maybe they had been disturbed.
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.
You are right, the dragonborn was murdered at the riverveins entrance, so the dagger might have been used for flaying only. But somehow it is still weird to just leave it there. I hope we get a chance to visit the riverveins soon. I found a map for the Descent into Avernus campaign, and the rivervein tunnels and caverns were located between Insight Park and the Cliffside Cemetery, at the river bank of the Chionthar.

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.
When we first meet Magpie, he doesn't seem to be very confident, but the second time, he speaks with a confidence that belies his age. The sense of magic that we feel made me suspicious. Or maybe it was the real Magpie, but he was charmed, and this is what we notice.

“That’s far enough, yeah?” he says with a confidence that belies his age. “Seems you've caught the eye of the one you're investigating. Wouldn't want to be in your shoes, I'll tell you what."
Letter. The youth hands over a sealed letter and with that he slips away down the alley.
Magic. While you observed the street urchin, you perceived something was not quite right about the situation. You have a sense of magic being used but cannot pinpoint what school or an exact spell.
