The answers to Shakatu's investigation questions are as follows:

  2. Skrav's Testimony → Trade Schedule Log
  3. Nogle's Testimony → Tavern Ledger
  4. Grimzle's Testimony → Proof of Stay
  5. Kathan's Testimony → Guard's Report

How to Complete Close Threat

1 Talk to Shakatu

Go to the Goldleaf Merchant Guild camp and speak with Shakatu. Tell him about your investigation with other merchants.

You must submit all the evidence you've found on all the merchants to find out the traitor, which is Grimzle. You can make mistakes and redo submissions, but you must all get the evidence, or you won't be able to progress.
2 Hunt Down the Traitor

Head to the Coalvale Workshop and hunt down Grimzle. After the cutscene, hit him once to make him confess.
3 Take Grimzle to Shakatu

Tie Grimzle and carry him to your horse. Ride back to the Goldleaf Merchant Guild camp and surrender him to Shakatu. The quest will end after this.
