Death in Freeport

Hinjo looks around but the one story building shows no signs of even a small crawlspace.
The desk is very close to the bed so Arcata turns and checks under the mattress, the pillows and such but without success in finding a diary. The two drawers on the desk could serve as a possible bookshelf though most books are stacked out in the open here. Upon opening them though Arcata can see at a glance they are filled with loose writing paper and not books. The top stack is significantly more neatly piled than the bottom one which haphazardly fills the deep drawer.
The trap door opens easily revealing a staircase leading down into a voluminous basement. Dogrynn's keen vision can tell that the unlit room down there is broader than the ones up here, but appears mostly empty. Peering down empty bookshelves can be seen against the visible far wall.

Keeping an eye on the street Rikki looks around for interesting stuff to... appropriate.
Arcata quickly looks up to see what the others are doing, then looks more closely at the stacked papers in the drawers. She starts by lifting the neatly stacked ones out and reading the first few pages to get a feel for what they are. Then she checks the messier pages farther down.

Arcata lifts the neatly stacked papers but they are unused as of yet. Putting them back she starts to sift through the lower drawer's one as well. This is a second set of blank pages ready to be written upon, it appears he drew from this bottom drawer for his writing materials first. Somewhat oddly the second set of papers don't go that deep before hitting the bottom of the drawer, it seems much shallower than the top one, though they look similarly sized from the outside.
Rikki eyes some books appraisingly . . .
Peering down Aidan and Dogrynn can also make out some empty display tables down below as well. Brother Egil moves over to join the two in peering down.
Hinjo keeps a lookout for trouble outside, but all seems calm for the moment.

The basement is actually larger than the house, although it is strangely empty. There are bookcases lining the walls, as well as an open display case. All are empty of contents. The tables down here seem the right size for spreading out scrolls or maps. Only a few unlit candles, a reading glass, and some more ink pots and quills are down on the tables.

"Hello," Arcata says quietly to herself. She lifts out the papers and taps on the bottom of the drawer.
If it's a false bottom, there's probably a place you can lift it out, or knock it down...
She runs her fingers around the edges, testing to see if there's a spot where she can get a grip, or press down to make another place come up, thus dislodging the panel.
