Мафия 36. Fullmetal Alchemist

Immediately after dark fell in the residential area, a police car was spotted near an apartment building. Residents say the military's target was Arandor's residence. They went into his apartment and, apparently, did not allow him to leave for any business.

Eyewitnesses report that single shots were heard near the market. The target, they claim, was some woman who no one could identify. However, a bear meat merchant, who happened to witness the assassination, says that she is definitely from the north. "I work with suppliers from Briggs, so I know how to tell people from there apart. They have a much more confident gait, proud posture, and pale skin," he says. - So, this lady is definitely one of them." The merchant also said that he did not see the attacker. Most likely, a long-range weapon was used. What surprised most was the woman's behavior. She managed to take cover behind a wall from the shots, then shouted something - and several people immediately ran up to her command. These strangers quickly ran in the direction from which the shots were fired. Unfortunately, the shooter was never found: neither by these people, who turned out to be the woman's bodyguards, nor by the military arriving at the scene.

This night, onlookers and passersby preferred to stay away from Reinhard when he strolled along the boulevard because he was accompanied by a formidable and powerful man.

Apparently, the Bureau of Investigations is conducting a survey of the population. Thus, tonight its employees conducted interviews with many residents, including Lynx Depravado and Reinhard.

Late at night, tragedy struck. Nebo met his acquaintance and went for a walk in the park with him, which is usually empty at this time. What happened between them is unknown, but an eyewitness who dozed off on a bench near the walking people reports that he was awakened by Nebo's cry, which combined surprise, fear, and anger. This scream was followed by mad laughter and a shot, most likely from a pistol. Hearing this, the witness hurried to leave the scene.

Fortunately, a man knowledgeable in medicine walked through the park at just the right time. He provided the necessary assistance to the dying Nebo, called the military and doctors, and quickly disappeared. The police suspect that he was an unlicensed doctor hiding from the authorities. Whether this is true or not, the victim's life was saved thanks to his efforts.

In addition, rumors are circulating throughout the capital that Arandor visited an elite cultural establishment closer to dawn. Well, apparently, he enjoys the company of pretty girls and expensive drinks. Especially vigilant visitors noticed that immediately after his departure, a handsome young man approached the owner of the establishment and took a package with some papers from her.
