But he did not do it for himself, but at the request of Veniamin Lipnitsky, Sergey's deputy. Lipnitsky was jealous of his wife Natalya for Sergey. He was sure that she was cheating on him, but he wanted to make sure. The case seems to be solved, but when the detectives arrive at Sergey's office to pick up their equipment, they learn that Sergey died the previous evening at a picnic in honor of the company's anniversary. He drowned, choking in a puddle. They are trying to blame Mikhail Kruchinin for his death. Mikhail asks the detectives to help him: he did not kill Sergei!

Anastasia's husband, Eduard, suspected this. Veniamin's wife, Natalya, was really in love with Sergei and wanted him to marry her. In addition, it turns out that Sergei lived with his older sister Mila, whom he treated like a slave. Mila recently met Leonid Kharitonov, who proposed to her. But Sergei was categorically against this marriage. Mila, who had served her tyrant brother all her life, realized that she could never be happy. She came to pick up her drunk brother after a party, but when he slipped and fell, she decided to use this moment. And she drowned him in a puddle. 31:49 Fatal Error Timofey Dementyev, a car service worker, contacts the detectives. The day before, his girlfriend, student Sofya Avdeeva, went missing. The girl's parents contacted the police, and Timofey thinks that he is suspected of involvement in the girl's disappearance, especially since he and Sofya had already had a fight. Timofey tried to meet her at the institute after classes and have a heart-to-heart talk, but he never got there. Timofey assumes that the police learned about their conflict from Sofya's friend, a student in the same year, Maria Naumova. Before that, Sofya often forced Maria to go with her on dates with Timofey as a companion, but recently Maria has been trying to avoid these joint meetings under any pretext. The detectives meet with Maria. She is not very willing to talk about yesterday, and believing that the girl is hiding something, the detectives install a hidden camera in her apartment. Thanks to this, they learn that the girl is rushing to a secret meeting. Having followed Maria, the detectives see that she is meeting with her lover named Max and telling him how worried she is about her friend's disappearance. The detectives are surprised that Maria asks Max if he saw Sofia yesterday - and Max himself is no less surprised, because Maria did not introduce him to Sofia. Meanwhile, Sofia's body is found, she was killed by a blow to the back with a screwdriver. Timofey is detained by the police, bloody clothes are found in his house. Timofey claims that he simply had a nosebleed, staining an old T-shirt that he had long wanted to throw away. The detectives establish Max's identity. It turns out that he is a notorious character from the gossip columns. Some time ago, when he was beaten and left for dead on a trip to India, a certain Arina, the wife of a banker, nursed him back to health, and then divorced her husband for Max. Her children chose to stay with their father, but even this did not dissuade Arina from the misalliance, because Max is much younger than her. They moved and opened a yoga school, where they both teach. The detectives meet Maria again, and she says that Sophia became interested in why Maria suddenly stopped keeping her company. Sophia followed her and figured out her lover, after which she declared that Maria was not a match for Max. The girls had a serious fight. Sophia waited for Max near the yoga school and began to flirt with him, hanging on his neck, forcing a kiss. Max politely but firmly pushed her away, but this scene was seen from afar by Max's wife, Arina. Arina already knew that Max had a mistress, and hated her rival in advance, since Max honestly told her everything. Arina decided that Sophia was Max's mistress. She followed the girl in her car, after which she called her for a frank conversation. Sophia realized that there had been a mistake, that she had been mistaken for Maria, and began to mock Arina. Unable to bear it, Arina returned to the car for a screwdriver and killed Sophia with a blow to the back, after which she put her body in the trunk of her car and drove it into the forest. #detectives #detectives series
