The journal states that "he's getting worse" and "the others in the Flophouse know it too," which points to the next location in the investigation - Fraygo's Flophouse.
The Flophouse
Fraygo's Flophouse (X:-6, Y:72) is across the way from Sharess' Caress. After going up the stairs of the Flophouse, a ladder (X:-12, Y:87) can be taken up to the top floor. On this floor, a red wardrobe can be found (X:-17, Y:82).
There are multiple ways to get into the secret room on the uppermost floor of the Flophouse:

With a perception check, blood can be noticed on the floor near the bed (X:-13, Y:76). Choosing to examine the blood leads to an investigation check of 10.

- Who are you? Ffion Goldgrind...

- How did you die? Murdered...by my son...
- What were you doing when you died? Seeking...answers...

- Where can I find your son? *The corpse remains silent. It does not know.*
- What does your son look like? Dwarf...Like me...Dresses in...red...
Her body has a key on her, as well as a note. The key opens up Ffion's Chest on the floor below the secret room (X:-16, Y:76).
At this point, as Ffion's body has been found, and the Mamzell can be reported back to with Ffion's unfortunate fate.
