The fearless Arandor went to the criminal's house to arrest him. With a powerful kick, he broke down the door of the apartment, entered the room where the maniac was, and threatened him with a gun. But Kostyan had no intention of surrendering: he tried to throw a hidden axe at the sheriff, but a bullet from Arandor's revolver pierced Kostyan's head faster than he could carry out his plan. The maniac died on the spot, and the axe fell to the floor, feeling the taste of blood for the first and last time – the blood of its owner.
After the maniac's death, the city was finally saved. The townspeople went out into the streets and rejoiced, celebrating for three days. When everything calmed down, the poor snitch remained sitting on a bench, mourning the death of the maniac, to whom she had become attached.
