Completing the Contradiction quest in Crimson Desert is a little tricky. Unlike any previous investigations you may have done, such as Close Threat where you have to give evidence to Shakatu, this one is just a series of two-choice answers.
There are no items involved at all, so which one you pick simply depends on how well you listened to the testimonies of the various suspects during the investigation.

- "It seems the library has records of everyone's visits, except Raphael's."
- "They insist they couldn't have stolen it - since they didn't know about the forbidden books or the ancient language."
After this, he'll send you to catch Javier down by the library. A cutscene will play in which you knock him down, then it's simply a case of tying him up and delivering him like a bounty to the authorities in the courtyard nearby.
You'll get the reward, and that'll be The Weight of Knowledge quest completed.
