Here's a great walkthrough if you get stuck again.

I've recently become stuck here as well ... anyone still reading, able to help me fix my save file?
Are you still reading here? Could use your help.

Thiev: I got several messages asking for help, so I'm posting the whole workaround here:

Vizima Confidential / A Mysterious Tower fix
** only use if you are 200% certain this is the same bug OP run into! try talking to everyone (even when dialogue options are greyed) and doing all possible quests beforehand. **

Easy fix: send me your save (a.[my username]-at-gmail.com) and I will have a look.

No-so easy fix: do it yourself:

You'll need:
- TWEditor (for EE version)
- K-GFF editor
- modified .qst file

- backup your save
- open and unpack the bugged save with TWE (Actions->Unpack)
- navigate to the newly created folder, replace q2101_thecase.qst file with one from the link
- run K-GFF, check under 'View' if Witcher IDs are used
- open save000###.smm file with K-GFF
- press F10 (or Tools->Search by Text), seach for npc_raymond
- one row below the StoryNPC (StoryPhase), change the value from 'autopsy' to 'tower'
- save the file, exit K-GFF
- go back to TWE (if you closed the progam, open the exact save once again), repack your save
- prof... I mean, you should be able now to talk to Raymond and continue the quest

Hopefully this will help. If something goes wrong, post here or drop me a PM.

And again, if you are still reading ) I have the same problem as others and i did as you wrote. Updated my savegame file, it helped a little bit but Raymond said something about guilty Kalkstein and that's all. nothing else. New mission doesn't appear. annoying bug. How this can be fixed?

Are you certain all other missions are completed and all dialogue options exhausted?
Or you could just send me your save so I can see the issue for myself.
Wow, thank god I found this forum. I've been stuck with this problem for ages and stopped playing the game.. I really hope you're still online thiev and can help me too with this, please.

I've done everything in quest and no conversation available with raymond but "see you later".

Here's the fix for this:

thank you thank you! when all hope was all but lost.
Why doesn't CD Projekt patch this problem? It's a possibly broken quest, for God's sake. I just broke it because

1) I went to Raymond to late and started my investigations on my own so I already had a list of suspects
2) After Raymond "returned" and started to ask me for money all of the sudden I went to the cemetery and found the real Raymond dead, and that cleared up all other suspects.
3) Now Raymond will only offer me "rest" and "see ya" dialogue options, all other suspects have dealt with and are all grateful etc.

So, I'm pretty much fucked, if what I've been reading on the net is true and I don't feel like editing my savegame of a "enhanced edition, director's cut" version the game. Shame because now I don't feel like restarting the entire game because of a broken quest, thus no W2 and no W3 for me. I'm pretty much done with it.

Go to the alchemist's home first to reveal him about your findings for Azal been pretending that he is Raymond. Then you will prepare a trap in swamp's Mage Tower with him alluring Azal there. After you finish talking to alchemist, you will go to the "Raymond's" home and activate the "trap" during the dialogue with Azal. Now the only thing that remains is to go to swamp's Mage's Tower.

To sum up, only thing to do to proceed the game is to speak to alchemist again and prepare the "trap".
