I was so young, so handsome... =\
Remember me like this, you silly townspeople.
*put away his Gibson, turned around, and flew away...*

Kash turned out to be a resourceful guy, and at dusk, he tried to escape from his confinement. But his escape was quickly discovered, and the soldiers caught up with him within minutes. Kash shouted something at them, waving his arms, but the soldiers, like robots, were relentless. They took up a good position and opened fire on the fugitive. One bullet pierced his left shoulder, and two others whizzed past his head; making the sign of the cross, Kash jumped into the murky waters of the Seine, and no one ever saw him again...

Chapter Five. A Crimson Rose Petal.

This night turned out to be remarkably not gloomy. The light of the full moon was reflected in millions of snowflakes falling from the sky one after another. White, cleansing snow fell all night, covering roads, parked cars, and rooftops. By morning, everything was covered in snow, sometimes a thick layer, sometimes a thin, barely noticeable blanket. The snow cleansed Paris, cleansed it with its suddenness. Thousands of poor people froze to death overnight – they had nowhere to hide from the ubiquitous cold. In the morning, the city was littered with frozen corpses – they were everywhere: in entrances, in alleys, on roads and in ravines, under shop windows and advertising posters, in basements and on roofs. This is how nature cleanses – ruthlessly, but probably justly. It’s just a pity that justice can also sometimes be bought…

But for now, let's return to the events of the night. Here is an old, gloomy square. Two unknown men, wrapped in winter coats, were actively discussing something, but at the same time quite quietly.
-Now you understand all the advantages of your participation, monsieur?
-Yes, but I am taking a big risk.
-Not really. You will simply help us rid the world of him and then be well rewarded, both materially and spiritually.
-1 million euros.
-You value yourself highly,” said the second man, rubbing his hands together contentedly, and handed over a briefcase to the first.
A crimson rose petal fell on the white snow. But no one noticed it properly.

Soon, the man who gave up the briefcase left, leaving the first alone. However, this did not last long, nor did his life. A bullet pierced the coat and went straight into his heart; drops of blood slowly flowed down towards the petal. The wounded man grabbed the edge of the veranda, trying to keep himself upright, even knocking over a clay pot with something withered inside, but he still collapsed onto the white, soft snow. And the moon continued to shine brightly; for a moment, it seemed that its light suddenly turned some greenish color of sadness, but it was just an illusion.
Thus, Gur passed away.

“Sir, Zhelier!
I ask you to pay increased attention to the situation in the city! The crime rate is extremely high: criminals brazenly break into houses, beat their owners, rob them, smash furniture! And then they visit again, less obviously, but somehow it doesn't make things any easier! Someone broke into my house twice, the first time it was some brainless muscleheads, and this time… I don’t know who it was…
Please, Mr. Zhelier, do something!”
From a letter by Hermit.

The head of the corporation (Lu41k) was in a good mood. Without much thought, he asked the secretary to throw this letter in the trash – why spoil his mood over trifles?
But Taco (couldn't figure out how to put him in the correct case:() completely agreed with Hermit, even though she had never seen him and didn't even know about his existence. But someone also visited her house without her knowledge, and that made her very angry.

How beautiful is Paris, covered in a snowy blanket! There are no dirty little streets, no stench from the homeless, and there are no homeless people themselves – everything is hidden under a beautiful wrapper. It’s just better not to think about what will happen when the cleaning stops – it’s better to simply enjoy the beauty.

Day is coming.

There's a recurring hint throughout the newspaper that the "Bums" are gone – only the Illuminati remain, and Gur was briefly a recruited "bum":p! Although, for some reason, he asked for a strangely large sum:confused: ... Oh yeah, I'm just rambling:smile15:. Logic suggests he couldn't have been a bum... If an Illuminati was recruiting him, then who was shooting – their own people?:). And in any case, there could be at most one bum left, so there couldn't have been any of their own people;) . I don't quite understand – what's the rose petal for? It's clearly not a clue, just meant to mislead:(! ... Although, there's about a 5% chance that Gur was one of the bums, and he went to kill someone on that veranda, and then got his comeuppance from the "good guys":). Does anyone have a deadly counter-attack ability? – I think they always used to... I think we should look for a clue in the Lost Heroes clan's emblem; there's a rose there, and the fact that it's "lost" probably means "withered." Again, this leads us to Nera, although I would also re-examine Hermit and Drnik, who are particularly suspicious... And I would also look into the moon.

HA! And TACO and Hermit are on opposite sides, and one of them is definitely an Illuminati:smile42:, because both of them have homes, and the bum is just a homeless person 1;. Naturally, Hermit has a higher chance of being an Illuminati.

Hmm... I strongly suspect Lizard of being a vagrant and carrying a firearm, which accidentally caused the death of the traitor Gur:smile17:!

He knocked over a clay pot with something withered inside.

This might be a reference to the "tree without a crown" from the "contagious" signature:D. And the word "white" is mentioned in relation to snow – WHY??? It's not just for show! Snow is always white – so this is a clue to the killer!!:smile03: Execute the poor White Lizard! This is preliminary; I would still prefer to identify at least one Illuminati, because I think there are – oh, VERY many left:mad: :smile50: :smile10: !!!

Perhaps everything is so bad that all that's left of decent society is:
1). Ray;
2). Me:cool:;
3). And one of the pair Taco-Hermit;
4). Well, at most, one more:( ...

Just in case, I'll use NNV so that the adventurer doesn't take my voice again.

Execute WhiteLizard - 1 vote (KostyaN)
ННВ - 1 vote (Hermit)

5 votes are needed for execution.

By the way, Kostya, don't you think we should take a look at TaKo's profile? She also has two bouquets of roses in her list of awards (and one of them even has red ones...).

But for now, I'll stick with NNV... Just to make sure my vote isn't stolen.

Execute WhiteLizard - 1 vote (KostyaN)
ННВ - 2 votes (Hermit, Neyra Drake)

5 votes are needed for execution.

By the way, Kostya, don't you think it's worth paying attention to TaKo's profile? She also has two bouquets of roses in her list of awards (and one of them contains red ones...).

Added after 43 seconds
But for now, I'd prefer NNV... So my vote isn't stolen :)

Or maybe you should pay attention to your clan's emblem?

Or maybe it's worth paying attention to the fourth newspaper?) The name "Fire and Ice" wasn't chosen randomly...) and, by the way, Hermit's clan emblem consists of "Fire and Ice" (two dragons :))
So, how do you like this argument? x)

for now, nnv
for the same reasons, I'll think about it later and maybe change it.

No, the fire and ice in the name are just a reference to a hot evening and a cold calculation. I still suspect Naeru more, though. But TaKo can't be ruled out either...

Execute WhiteLizard - 1 vote (KostyaN)
ННВ - 3 votes (Hermit, Neyra Drake, Drnik)

5 votes are needed for execution.

First, a little about myself:

And the word "white" in relation to snow is mentioned – WHY??? It's not just for show! Snow is always white – which means it’s a clue to the killer!! Execute that scoundrel, White Lizard!

Kostyan, back then I wasn't some nobody; I was either a leader or a stalker, haha. But getting back to the topic of stalkers... I have one in mind: Drink. According to my calculations, he's the only remaining member of the underground.

He didn't see the new day, and neither did Siverfale. In the morning, his manager found him, accidentally noticing an open door and curiously entering inside. The poor guy was lying on his bed in some unnatural pose: all hunched up, contorted. Apparently, before his death, he experienced terrible torment; he vomited and literally turned himself inside out. Moreover, Siverfale suffered quite a long time: he fought against death with all his might, trying to stay in this world. But fate had prepared a ticket to the realm of the dead for him - perhaps it really does take away all talents at a young age.

1 – the effect of poison indirectly indicates the suspect’s interest in chemistry ("I, for example, really love chemistry, and I plan to go into this field of science; I am going to Moscow State University").
2 – Realm of the Dead – Necropolis. He is the only one among those left whose profile lists this faction.

Faction for Heroes 3:
Necropolis (Undead)
Faction for Heroes 5:
Necropolis

Arandor received more wounds than the two previous victims combined: one bullet lodged in his arm, three others rested in the back of the unfortunate man. Next to the corpse lay a small glass, and in the house, music by Jean-Philippe Rameau was playing just as symbolically; beautiful, sunny music played for the dead bodies.

Drink – "drink" in English, haven't you heard? :)

Soon, the person who had given up the portfolio left, leaving the first one alone. However, it didn't last long, nor did his life. A bullet pierced his coat and went straight into his heart; drops of blood slowly flowed down towards that petal. The shot man grabbed onto the edge of the veranda, tried to keep himself on his feet, even knocked over a clay pot with something withered inside, but still collapsed onto the white, soft snow. And the moon continued to shine brightly; at some moment, it seemed that its light suddenly turned a greenish color of sadness, but it was only an illusion.
That’s how Gur died.

Again, a reference to Necropolis. Also, I suggest taking a look at their clan emblem.

As for the unsuccessful :smile04: recruitment of Gur - he seems to have been the deputy chief, since he was well-paid). He was recruited either by Neyra or Taco; it's 50/50. We will deal with them later: smile08:

For now, execute Drink.

Execute WhiteLizard - 1 vote (KostyaN) Execute Drnik - 1 vote (WhiteLizard) ННВ - 3 votes (Hermit, Neyra Drake, Drnik) 5 votes are needed for execution.
