What if this is a visual cue from the designers to hint at which locations would allow us to solve the crime more quickly?
Within the inventory, the "neutral" item is black and white (the invisibility potion) while the two items related to the crime are clearly red (the wax seal from M's letter, and the dragonborn's dagger).
