Everyone knows that drinking is harmful. However, some irresponsible citizens sometimes still “use” and then throw themselves headfirst from balconies. So the detectives from the eighty-fifth department, led by Andrei Kivinov, had to investigate the suicide of a drunkard. A detective’s sense of smell cannot be overwhelmed by fumes, and therefore the villains will not be able to slip the “linden” to the police. A chain of traces leads Kivinov to the holy of holies of the deceased - to the distillery.
