Almost simultaneously, several visitors contacted the private detective agency “FZO” regarding the disappearance of a man who had left for Thailand on a tour package about a month ago and had still not returned. All those who applied referred to the same newspaper, in which an advertisement about the opening of a detective agency was placed about a year ago. All the people who applied did not know each other, but each was interested in the fate of the missing businessman Kostromsky in his own way. Detectives are drowning in an overabundance of suspects and the reasons for the disappearance of a businessman. What turned out to be even more strange was that, for unknown reasons, it was Kostromskoy who kept that very newspaper with an advertisement about a detective agency, thereby actually directing all the people interested in his fate to the detectives. Maybe Kostromskoy guessed that a kidnapping was being planned against him, or he deliberately organized his disappearance?
