The Goat on Roller Skates

A police officer Pavel Kuritsyn immediately understood that his high-spirited mother, Vasilisa Olegovna, had gotten herself tangled up in some kind of crime again. Otherwise why would she need to ask him… to wash her bulletproof vest? And better—two… The second one was surely for her friend Lyumila Petukhova. Fortunately, Pavel didn’t know that his mother planned to ask him for a pistol too… to clean. Otherwise he would have locked those restless women behind ten bolts.

For now, he only told them not to stick their noses into any investigations… But actually it all happened like this: a dog attacked the girls’ friend. And her owner Rimma, to make up for the guilt, invited Lyusya and Vasy a to visit. Something was clearly off here—those homegrown detectives felt it. But maybe it would work out. The girl seemed nice, and her little dog didn’t seem dangerous. Still, that premonition felt wrong… And it turned out right—his nose didn’t fail! They found Rimma dead!..
