About another month later...

Gather evidence

. Talk to a citizen. Ask about local people. Ask about the trader. (You may need to go through several rounds of dialog, or quit and start again, before the line about the trader appears.)
. If you have not completed the Saga of the Blacque Family quest, do it now. Hire Marc Blacque. If you have already completed the quest and did not hire him, he should be in the store - hire him now. Talk to him - say "About you" - I have a special job for you. I need you to go to Arnaud Matton and ask to work as his assistant." - Marc Blacque will go to the store - About a month later, if you talk to Marc Blacque, he will want to go outside - There he will tell you how Arnaud Matton swindled Baldewyn Coffier out of the store.

. If you have Sabine Matton with you as an officer and Arnaud Matton does not hate you (you are a female captain and hired her with Arnaud's consent, or you have raided St. Pierre and Arnaud is scared of you), after you have talked to Baldewyn Coffier, she will tell you how Arnaud Matton swindled Baldewyn Coffier out of the store.

The Governor

Talk to the governor - talk business - talk about Baldewyn Coffier

The governor wants evidence - you will have choices depending on what you have found so far - do not go to the governor without evidence!

If Sabine Matton told you about the swindle then she follows you into the townhall - introduce her to the governor - she tells him about the swindle

If Sabine Matton is an officer and Arnaud Matton hates you, and if you do not have enough evidence, the governor accuses you of kidnapping her - you say that she is an officer - she is brought in - she confirms what you said.

You will need either:
. Sabine Matton's evidence and Marc Blacque's evidence, or

. Sabine Matton's evidence or Marc Blacque's evidence, plus talking to a citizen and Baldewyn Coffier telling you about the captain.

If you have enough evidence to convince the governor, he orders an investigation. About a month later, Baldewyn Coffier takes over the store.

(If both Sabine Matton and Marc Blacque are unavailable, there is one last chance. You can ask Baldewyn Coffier how you can help him. Eventually he'll tell you that he is suspicious about the store's account book. Get a lockpick and be outside the store at night. If the guards spot you, you have to fight them. If you survive, or if you aren't spotted, you can break into the store and steal the book. But you'll still need to present it to the governor, and you'll still need the statements from Baldewyn Coffier and a citizen, because the governor won't take kindly to burglary or killing his soldiers!)
