Petr Karasev

Police departments in the 90s were bustling with activity. Thefts, assaults, kidnappings... You had recently graduated from university with the rank of lieutenant. As an investigator, you were tasked with a multitude of cases. You often went on call-outs, recording victims' statements... Work had become routine. With each passing day, you regretted joining the police, but there was nothing else to do; you needed the money. You received a missing persons report about a theater actor, Valery Kudryashov. As usual, you began working on the case, traveling with detectives to his frequent locations. According to eyewitnesses, he was last seen with a young man of about 25, dressed in black and with curly hair. They got into a car together and drove off in an unknown direction. You learned from Valera's mother that he had been visiting Sergei Mikhailovich Zhigalin. That day, Kudryashov and Zhigalin had had a conflict. The puzzle came together in your head, and you began searching for Zhigalin and his men, as you understood they had a motive for revenge against Kudryashov. Having found one of Zhigalin's men, Pyotr Karasev, they brought him in for questioning. To your unsurprise, Karasev was a man of few words. You tried your best to engage him in a full-fledged dialogue. Manipulation was pointless; it was clear he was trained. He knew when to remain silent so as not to reveal anything unnecessary.
