his knife on the dead man’s clothes.”
END OF VISION
Karina steps back and opens her eyes, her father catches her from behind.
– — Did you manage to see the face?
– A little.
The man hands Karina ammonia:
– Breathe in, you’ll immediately feel better.
Karina takes a bottle of ammonia and inhales it. Then he hands it back to the man.
– Thank you.
– Was this a spiritualism session you had just now? – the man smiles.
“Something like that, thank you, we have to go,” Karina answers.
The man escorts the guests to the exit. Comes out with them:
– — Come again, there are a lot of dead people, here you can experiment with anyone.
They go outside and the man closes the door behind them. Karina feels better in the fresh air.
Karina looks into the distance:
– — The killer is tall and has a scar on his face.
– Well, are we going home?
– No, to the police, I have to tell the investigator everything.
“You’re out of your mind, and if the killer finds out who ratted him out, he might hunt you,” the father tries to stop Karina.
“I don’t think so,” says Karina and gets into the car.
The father follows her example, gets into the car and they drive away from the morgue building.
Chapter No. 5
Karina and her father enter Investigator Grachev’s office. In the office on the left there is a cabinet with folders, then the desk of his partner, Captain Igor Vyacheslavovich Ponin, fifty years old, average height, thin, blond hair. On Ponin’s desk are folders and a landline phone. Sits right from the door
investigator, there is a lamp on the table, a mountain of folders on the left, pens and pencils in a plastic cup, a landline telephone, a safe in the corner.
Karina in one voice with her father:
– Hello.
Investigator Grachev sits at the table, sorting through folders.
– — Good afternoon, have a seat. What question did you come to me about? – asks Grachev.
Karina and her father sit down at the investigator’s table.
“About the murder of the doctor,” Karina answers.
– — And what new do you want to tell me? – Grachev asks, listening carefully.
– — You see, my daughter saw the moment of the murder. Grachev lights a cigarette:
– — Do you want to say that your daughter passed by at night and witnessed the murder?
– — Not exactly, yesterday morning I had a vision, long before the doctor’s death, in which a tall man, with a hood on his head, kills the doctor with a knife and takes the money.
The investigator nervously puts out his cigarette butt in the ashtray.
– — Wait, did you see the moment of the murder or do you just have a good imagination?
– — I’m explaining to you that I had a vision.
The investigator stands up and rests the palms of his hands on the table.
– —Have you seen a psychiatrist?
Karina’s father gets up from the table and says excitedly:
– — My daughter is healthy and there is no need to insult her!
Grachev unbuttons the top button on his shirt:
– — How will I take your testimony? The girl had a vision or the girl dreamed about n, as if she saw the moment of the murder. After such testimony, I may be admitted to the hospital together with you.
The father sits down next to Karina again:
– — At first, everything seemed strange to me, too, but I trust her, she never lies.
Grachev pours himself a glass of water from the decanter and drinks it in one gulp.
“Your daughter has gone crazy, so leave, otherwise I will bring you to trial for giving false testimony,” Grachev shouted.
The father gets up and lifts Karina from the chair:
– Let’s go home, I told you we don’t need to come here.
– Can I at least make a sketch of the killer?
Grachev sits down at the table again and begins to sort through papers.
– This is please, in the office opposite.
Chapter No. 6
Karina walks around the supermarket and chooses groceries to take home. He stands opposite the tea and coffee department and cannot get a pack of tea from the top shelf. A man in a hood stands next to her and also chooses tea.
– Man, could you get this pack of tea from the top shelf? The man smiles and shows brown teeth:
– With pleasure.
He gets Karina a pack of tea and she recognizes this man as the doctor’s killer. Such a scar on the face cannot be forgotten. Karina looks at him and drops her tea on the floor.
– You feel bad? – asks the man, picking up his tea from the floor.
– — No, everything is fine, my head is spinning. You understand that pregnancy is not the best period for a woman,” Karina replies with a malicious smile.
The man takes himself tea, vodka, bread, sausage and heads to the cash register. Karina leaves the cart half full with groceries and quietly follows him. A man quickly walks through the backyards and enters the entrance of a multi-story building. Christina follows him into the entrance. On the third floor on the right, the door opens and he enters the apartment. Karina immediately goes to the police.
Karina knocks on the door and enters the office of investigator Grachev. The investigator looks at her in bewilderment and asks:
– Did I call you? Karina sits down on a chair:
– — Before you throw me out the door, listen first. The investigator reads the case:
– — I don’t have time to talk to you.
– — I know where the criminal is now. Grachev looks at her:
– — Your visions again?
“It doesn’t matter now, but if you don’t come with me, he might leave,” Karina answers excitedly.
The investigator gets up from the table:
– Okay, for the first time I’ll believe you. But if it’s not there, blame yourself.
The investigator opens the safe and takes out a pistol. He checks the clip and hides it in a holster under his jacket.
The investigator and Karina drive up to the house of the alleged criminal and enter the entrance. They go up to the third floor, Grachev takes out a pistol and stands behind the door, holding the pistol in front of him. Karina knocks on the door.
Male voice behind the door:
– Who else did the devils bring?
– This is your neighbor downstairs, could you help me? My door is jammed and I can’t open it.
The door
