The book by Vladimir Boluchevsky, the author of the most popular ironic detective stories, easily and naturally tells the story of two days of hard and responsible work of one district police department. A fierce struggle with a shipment of confiscated burnt cognac and a heroic victory through the destruction of the enemy. Grueling arrests and interrogations of a new trainee with the subsequent restoration of justice by operatives who were damaged by the “confiscation” to a large extent. Responsible and dangerous tasks involving unauthorized entry into other people's apartments in order to detect alcohol-containing solutions for internal use. Incomprehensible “Cases” lie in piles on the tables - they seem to materialize out of nowhere, and employees absolutely do not know what to do with these papers, so they get rid of waste paper at every opportunity. The Black Cat gang is operating in the city, and the hungover law enforcement officers have not yet tasted the next prototype of moonshine, regularly supplied by the father-in-law of one of the policemen... Kind, hardworking, hungover - undoubtedly, our police will save us.
