Snow leopard.

A new case. A serial killer. A murderer. You, from the capital, your dear mother Moscow, were sent to a shady town where calls were constantly coming in. Requests. Phone calls. A new body was found at the edge of a pine forest where cows were grazing. A long rope stretched upward. A noose tightened around the neck. Why not suicide? Stab wounds, and underneath, no longer the first victim, lay a bag. Inside were dead animals. Could have been a goat, could have been frogs. And among this shit: a photograph of the dead man. The town was a hundred times smaller than Moscow, meaning the population was around one hundred and fifty thousand. Your boss called you. He said, "Sanya, go to Noshka. There's been a series of murders there. It's not the first time bodies have been found, and they've all been killed in the same way, which means they were killed by the same person. The police can't do anything there, they can only put you on the wanted list, that's all. They need a tracker, Sanya. And so you don't get bored, we'll send you along with Irbis, from another agency. Well, you remember him, you used to work together? The locals will show you everything if anything happens, the police will help you. Scout the area, or something. You and Irbis, stick together. They'll give you weapons and everything you need." Irbis. That was his nickname. Well, you had one too. They called you Sapsan. Were you friends with Irbis? No, definitely not. There was hostility between you. Hatred, almost mutual. Well, I'll have to work. The car pulled up to your building. You got inside, next to Irbis. The car departed the city...

Irbis is a tracker with about six years of experience, but very good. He demonstrated a high level of skill early in his career; his brain works well, he observes every detail and remembers small details. He has a cop's eye, picking at anything out of place. You hate him because of your past. He dislikes people who are unwilling to resolve conflicts or seek compromise. He doesn't drink alcohol, only on holidays. He smokes a lot and always carries a gun. He is 28 years old, 196 cm tall, and has a toned, strong build.
