Despite Helgird being the only person to obviously possess ancient Nord embalming tools, she insists that she had nothing to do with the murders. Talking to Helgird here will reveal that the lacerations on the bodies of the victims were unmistakably caused by curved blades indicative of ancient Nordic embalming tools. Lot of work to prepare her for the grave.' And I wouldn't very well tell you about the cuts if I had made them, now would I?' 'Now, I really got to get back to the body. 'I wouldn't hold out too much hope.' Did you have anything to do with this? 'I'm too busy tending to the dead to spend my time making more of them. Other than me, of course.' Let me know if you find anything else. I don't know who in Windhelm would even have something like that. well, the ancient Nords used these kinds of curved blades when they embalmed their dead. But have you found anything? 'Not really.' So, the body? 'Oh, yes, right, of course!' 'The only unusual thing is the shape of the cuts. Sorry, was only joking with you.' It's all right. But I guess that's not unusual, at least not for somebody in here. Have you noticed anything strange about the body? 'Well, she's dead. The witnesses include Calixto Corrium, Silda the Unseen, and Helgird.Д¬orrium will have the following conversation with the Dragonborn: I'm going to examine the body before the rats can get to it.'ДЄs the guard directed, the Dragonborn should ask the witnesses gathered around the body if they saw anything. We barely have enough soldiers to walk the stretts, much less patrol every corner.' Could you use some help? 'If you want to help, ask some of these gawkers if they saw anything useful. 'Look, there's a war going on, if you hadn't heard. Not pleasant, but it's the truth.' Sounds like the guards aren't doing their job. It's always the same: young girl, killed at night, body torn up.' Are the murders being investigated? 'We're stretched thin as it is with the war. Keep your distance.' What happened here? 'Another girl killed.

There is also a console command for the PC that is reported to give you ownership of the house: setstage 000A7B33 10.'Hold it there. You will not be able to decorate the house until you complete the appropriate steps to become thane. The wiki page for Hjerim mentions that if you have gained access to the house through the Blood on the Ice quest, you can still use the house as a base. If you have the second bug, the wiki describes a fix. After you complete the appropriate stage in the civil war and are ready to become thane, if you have the first bug, try leaving for another city and sleeping/waiting for five days, then returning to see if the bug has been resolved. Since you haven't taken sides in the civil war, these do not apply yet.

It is possible that after the Battle of Windhelm, Brunwulf Free-Winter may not appear in the Palace of the Kings, preventing you from being named Thane of Eastmarch and preventing the purchase of Hjerim.The option to buy the house may exist but you are unable to actually purchase it even after completing the prerequisites as the dialogue still says it is unable to be purchased due to unpleasantness.Note also that there are a couple known bugs when trying to purchase Hjerim: Thus, you could get the tiny quests out of the way before beginning the civil war. I believe you can complete five quests helping NPCs in Eastmarch before even asking about becoming thane, since I've done something similar in other holds. To become thane, you must join the civil war and complete one of the quests (Liberate Falkreath for Ulfric or conquer Windhelm and depose him.) You must then complete the five quests to help the people of Eastmarch, after which you can buy the house and become thane.

In your case, you may have completed Blood on the Ice (but check the spoilers for that quest to be sure.) But this quest is not necessary either for purchasing the house or for becoming Thane of Eastmarch. There's an answer to this question: Why can't I buy the Windhelm house (Hjerim)?.
