Thinking back on it, you remember that Vallina knew about the murder before you did. In fact, she's the one that informed you of it. Perhaps something occured between when she found out and when you did. You decide to ask her about this.

"Well, it was actually not much earlier than when I'd told you." Vallina responds. "I was actually on my way to Attrebus's room. There was something important I had to tell him. Anyway, on the way down the hallway, I heard a scream from downstairs. The guards patrolling the second floor ran down the stairs immediately. I hesitated at first, but then ran to see who it was as well. That's when I saw the body, and the maid that had discovered it first. I tried to calm her down and ask what had happened, but she was in shock. One of the guards went to fetch Madame Fortesia, and I ran to get Attrebus. He asked who it was, but I wasn't sure. The body was lying face down on the floor. All I knew was that it was a man with black hair, and a build similar to yours."

She sets down her cup before continuing on.

"That's why I went to check on you. I had to make sure...I mean..."

She wanted to make sure that it wasn't you lying face-down in a pool of your own blood.

"There was one more thing." Vallina says. "On my way to Attrebus's room, before I heard the maid scream, I saw one of the Redguards heading back to their room. I couldn't tell which one, but he was carrying something. I told Madame Fortesia about this, but she told me 'not to worry about it'. I told Attrebus later, and he seemed concerned."

So one of the Redguards was walking around during the time of the murder. Definately suspicious.

A) Ask what she knew about Uthyn. Maybe she knew more about him than you did.

B) Ask if she needs anything. You doubt she'll be going anywhere anytime soon.

C) Ask about her history with the Fortesias. You know about Ignatius...

D) Leave Vallina's room. The are other matters you should attend to.
