Police colonels Gurov and Kryachko, along with their intern, inspect the apartment and realize that the thief knew exactly what he was after, taking only the most valuable items. This is confirmed by the granddaughter of the deceased. Among the missing items is an expensive figurine, which apparently became the murder weapon. Gurov understands that if he can find the figurine, he will easily pinpoint the criminal.
