Close People

In the morning, Stepan received a call from his deputy, Chernov, who reported that he had discovered the body of a laborer, Murkin, at the supermarket construction site. A strong start to the day! Stepan, head of the company "Construction Technologies," understood that now he would have to explain himself not only to the police but also to the clients. And they are serious guys. And here’s the deceased... Plus, local activists are organizing a protest march against the construction of the marketplace supposedly on sacred ground... But the police established that Murkin died as a result of an accident. However, Stepan does not believe this. After all, he found a notebook among the deceased's belongings, the entries of which indicate that this simple laborer was a... blackmailer. It seems that he was killed by someone from whom he was extorting money. And the killer is someone close, one of his close people... Stepan consciously delayed the terrible moment when he would have to sort through the notes. It turned out that it’s not for nothing they say - delay is akin to death!
