Chapter Four: Fire and Ice.
A broken bottle of red wine lay on the floor. The white carpet was already partially stained pink, having absorbed the expensive liquid that had aged for years. Somewhere nearby, in the fireplace, rounded logs were burning out. Everything was quiet and peaceful in this beautiful large house.
In an armchair sat the lifeless body of the owner of the house,
Amko. Near the chair lay a pistol, which, judging by the gunpowder residue, had been fired at least once. On the homeowner's robe, two round bloodstains were clearly visible, one near the left lung, the other near the heart. In the bed lay a naked girl, also coldly shot twice, just like
Amko. A hot evening was interrupted by cold calculation and four shots.
Not far from the dead lovers, near the window, there was another corpse. The third victim was
Arandor. The police didn't immediately find him – the body was slightly hidden by the curtains.
Arandor received more wounds than the previous two victims combined: one bullet lodged in his hand, three others rested in the back of the unfortunate man. Investigators also found a hastily treated but still somewhat festering wound on his left shoulder. Next to the corpse lay a small glass, and in the house, music by Jean-Philippe Rameau played symbolically; beautiful, sunny music played for the dead bodies.
Later, investigators would say that two more people had been in the house - presumably the killer and their accomplice.
-This is so sad,- commented
Gur about the events of that night, shedding a slight tear. His eyes reflected ambiguity, or even threefold complexity: on the one hand, he felt great, on the other hand, hints of fear were slowly tormenting his mind, and finally, he was genuinely saddened by the tragedy of the night. So, lighting a cigar,
Gur set off on his way.
-Saaaad!- grumbled
Hermit, rubbing his bruises,- this is how I was treated yesterday, they ransacked the whole house! They tore up so many things, damaged them, took them away! Pigs!

Ple-SenGet drunk and forget. Forget everything that was, everything bad and good, everything that torments the soul, heart, and mind. But how can you do this if your hearts and minds are occupied by two pieces of lead, and your soul is already yearning for heaven? This dirty, gloomy sky, however, has become a little brighter with the arrival of day.
