Talk:Contract: The Mystery of the Byways Murders/@comment-201.74.9.56-20180718010432

If you pick up the notice (and skip Milan), go to Byways, defeat the ghouls, interact with the villagers (but don't investigate further), then go to Milan, Geralt will tell him the fate of his soldiers and Milan will reward Geralt immediately. The quest will then remain open until the village is further investigated.
