It takes another two days for the inquisitor to arrive, and when Brother Peire shows up at the prison for his daily visit, the guards tell him that the prisoner is being questioned and the inquisitor doesn't want to be interrupted for any reason whatsoever.
Brother Peire doesn't know what to say to that – he's been instructed not to get in the inquisitor's way, and in any case Rainaut is in the mayor's prison and the Gray Friars don't have that much authority here. It doesn't matter that Brother Peire is allowed to see Rainaut on the mayor's orders. The inquisitor wants privacy, so that's what he gets.
