Mafia 102. Veliria

The darkness of the night dissipated, and morning arrived. For some, it promised new hopes, while for others, disappointments. An explosion of unidentified reagents occurred in a hut on the outskirts of the city. The owner of the house was away, so there were no casualties. However, soon the body of the house owner was found in the drainpipe of the wealthy district.

The guard's investigation revealed that Alex306 died from wounds inflicted, presumably, by a sharp, curved sword. Among the deceased's personal belongings, a note from Jules Brunet was found.

Meanwhile, a man known for his insight was having a leisurely conversation with Jaconda.
-What is your attitude towards the study of subtle matters?
-This field of knowledge seems very promising to me.
-Interesting... And what is your attitude towards martial arts?
-With respect, how could it be otherwise.
-Last question... have you lived here for a long time, or have you arrived recently?
-I have lived here as long as I can remember.

On the main square, in the city fountain, two bodies were found. One reeked of alcohol from a mile away, and the other was snoring so loudly that he woke up the whole neighborhood.

One of the townspeople felt uneasy that night; it seemed as if someone was watching him, no matter where he was. Only in the morning did the feeling of being watched cease.

A stately man strolled leisurely through the wealthy district. He was clearly in a good mood; he did not yet know about the problems that had begun that morning and was enjoying life. Suddenly, he collided with a stranger rushing somewhere. After getting up from the collision, he ran on without wasting time on apologies.
-Oh, just a commoner, what can you expect from him...

-Oh, just a commoner, what can you expect from him...
Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous house, a man sat in an armchair by the fireplace, smoking a pipe and reading reports with a satisfied look.
-Hmm, interesting... Overall, it might even be for the better. Everything is going according to plan.
After that, he put the papers aside and went somewhere.
Also, some witnesses reported seeing a cat with something shiny around its neck.
