A person who starts living a healthy lifestyle often looks unhealthy. So Ivan Pavlovich’s mother frightened her son with her thinness. It turns out that Nikoletта was enchanted by a sorcerer who put her on a diet and promised to fulfill all wishes! Not much work for Podushkin with his mother—but then a new client, Tatyana Dimkina, turned to him for help.
The thing is that her brother Yasha, his wife Olga, and their three sons were poisoned by carbon monoxide and died. Olga’s brother is an abbot of a temple, and the day before, some man visited him and demanded that he return half a million rubles that, supposedly, Yakov had borrowed from him.
Tatyana believes it was he who killed his brother’s family by closing the damper in the oven. Podushkin conducted an investigation, and was shocked when he learned who the real murderer was!
