Chapter 1 Hello, Dad!
"Dear Father, greetings to you. Unfortunately, I did not receive your invitation to this grand gathering of yours, but with the postal services, that's hardly surprising. That’s why I took the old route and squeezed through a hole in the fence, which still hasn't been noticed. And the guards follow their usual routes – getting into the house was easy. Dad, this is somewhat unserious! But let's get down to business. I would be glad to see you in poor health. Yes, yes, you are not immortal; you are dying. And this news is one of the best things in my life. And do you know what the best news is? The fact that you are losing everything dear to you, absolutely everything you have earned in this life. Your grip weakens, your money flows into other people's pockets, your piece of power has already been divided. You lose everything! And I will speed up this process. In 120 hours, it will be your daughter's birthday, whom you mercilessly killed. During these five days, I will give my sister the best gift.
Post Scriptum: I will leave this letter with James. It certainly won't get lost with him, and besides, father, you trust him more than anyone else. Not surprisingly - he cared so much about you, saved your life so many times. It's a pity that he thought less about his own... Take care of that. And wait for leaden guests, dad."
James was found in the winter garden on the evening of the first day, with two bullet holes in his chest. His son’s call did not frighten him at all, but rather angered him. Alejandro increased security, but preferred not to tell his guests anything about what had happened. Perhaps in vain. If they knew, perhaps there would be fewer corpses later.
In the morning,
Neira Drake was found in one of the corridors of the mansion. No visible wounds were found on her body. Later, the "Mayor's" personal physician determined that death occurred as a result of suffocation; particles of fresh tobacco indicated that
Neira somehow choked on it. The police would classify such a case as an accident, but when it comes to a gathering of world mafia leaders, it is difficult to believe. The doctor also reported that with 90% probability, Neira's body was moved from somewhere else, which is evidenced by several small abrasions on the body.
The second victim was
Arandor. He was found dead in his room.
Arandor, like
Neira, died of suffocation, but the uniform arc-shaped purple-blue stripe on his neck clearly indicated a violent cause of death. And there were numerous signs of struggle: broken furniture, bruises and scrapes on the victim's body. In addition, the deceased was shot in the leg. Apparently, the killer initially tried to quickly finish off the chosen target with a firearm, but
Arandor managed to close the distance, and his opponent had to work harder in hand-to-hand combat. On the other hand, by closing the distance, the victim significantly reduced her chances of survival. If he had dodged and then forced the killer into a shootout, the result might have been different -
Arandor’s weapon had much greater stopping power. It is noteworthy that fingerprints, most likely female, are left on one of the bottles of wine in the mini-bar, and ash from a cigar remains on the threshold. Particles of gunpowder around the gunshot wound indicate the absence of a silencer on the weapon.
Until morning, it was impossible to approach
Werevolk’s room – yellow guards stood at the door and inside, holding back everyone who passed by. Explaining or proving anything to them was impossible – "we have orders!" they said curtly.
In the morning,
WisTrit seemed somewhat out of sorts. He spoke with difficulty, slowly chewing each word, walked like a turtle, and even thought about the simplest questions such as "how are you?", "will you be having breakfast?" for no less than five minutes.
Thorium swears that someone was following him. Someone big, and not very pleasantly smelling.
