 CHAPTER 17: WRITING

 With great difficulty, I finally got out of the dungeon, and here
the experience gained at that time had a very positive impact
yes, a week earlier, I wandered uselessly through secret passages.

 First of all, I decided to look at Maria Ivanovna and her husband,
since these were the only people I trusted now.

 My appearance was so pitiful that the faces of the people who opened the door to me
the door appeared sincere compassion. I remember how I was fed
miles and offered to sleep. When I woke up, I felt gray
I was much better and was about to go, but then I reminded
about yourself leg.

They took me to the emergency room, where they informed me that I had a
scrap  However, this was not the worst option. But from me
Two things didn’t come out: firstly, Vasily’s words that
he is not just a neighbor's alcoholic, he played his role well
role;  secondly, I was significantly interested in the move that
opened when I pulled thekernel. I was also interested
the corpses of two people lying there.

 My current condition did not allow me to study any tunnels
Yes, but about Vasily I was at a loss.

 And then, one day, I received a letter. I was very surprised, because
It’s unlikely that anyone would know my current address. The letter was without
return address. I printed it out. In beautiful, even handwriting there
it was written:

" Hello, Vasily is writing to you.

    Yes, the same Vasily, whom you consider the neighbor’s alcoholic
naked.  In fact, I am captain Vladimir Sergeev, working in
Ministry of Internal Affairs.  I understand that you are lost in conjecture, but I will tell you about
everyone in order.

    The reason for writing this letter is that
After this operation, I am not at all sure that I will survive. Yes
what if you receive this letter and I'm already dead, then call
by phone, which is written at the end of the letter. They're waiting for you there
call and tell you what happened.

    Our operation was as follows. We have been following for a long time
the man you know as Alexander. We are about treasure hunters
knew quite a lot.  People started to notice Alexander like this
thing. He met a new treasure hunter, after which the last
disappeared without a trace, and Alexander’s bank account was replenished. We
knew that he went withtreasure hunters for crafts (after all
information about places where there may be treasure is very scarce). When
they mined treasures, he killed his partner and took everything
I told myself. But we could not convict him of anything.

    And one day I found out that he met your old friend-
treasure hunter, because he was also my friend. I immediately divided -
sharing all the information with him, and he offered to catch him on himself.
But Alexander had nothing to do with his death, since he understood
that such an opponent is too tough for him. And when he heard that
you have the information, I decided to do the same with you as I did
with previous people.  But for some reason he didn’t get to know you
to warm up. No one knows why he acted this way except him.

    And so we decided to carry out “live bait fishing”. The bait was
you.  But we didn’t tell you anything so that you wouldn’t scare him away.
I had to catch him at the crime scene, but what?
what came out of this is up to you to judge.

P.S. Agree, I played my role well."

 Next was a number, a signature and a phone number that I should call
was to call.  I was overcome by an unimaginable sadness, I could barely contain myself.
I tried not to cry.

 An hour later I called on the phone and told everything. there me
listened and asked about some details. On the same night
some car drove up to the house, from wherepeople came out and entered the house.
They came back with three bags and disappeared. I will never use them again
I haven't seen it. Why with three, I realized a little later.
