Crime in Kingdom Come

In Kingdom Come Deliverance I often notice that there is a codex article that opens when I knock people out about my relationship with people and how my status with them lowers when I commit crime. This is fine, until I had it happen in the woods when I snuck behind a wayfarer in the forest and knocked him out, there was no witnesses but the codex still showed itself on my screen. Is this telling me I lost relation with the towns people or is it just a guide? Thanks

This doesn’t happen to me. If it’s a carcass wayfarer I knock em out and Mercy kill em. Fuck em lying bitches
