Murder at the Palace Department Hospital

Petersburg is celebrating Maslenitsa. No one suspects that the detective police managed to prevent a monstrous explosion at the Hermitage Theater. The terrorists’ target was the imperial family and top officials. The executioner of the act—Lieutenant Colonel Stoletov—was killed, but the organizer, Anna Istomina, nicknamed “Belka,” managed to escape. And besides the detective police, she is now being searched for by her party comrades and by a mysterious gentleman who hides his slanted eyes behind glasses with blue lenses.

Loud and cheerful Shalyapin brings a fresh stream into Lipov’s complicated, care-filled life—introducing him to the singer Valdaytseva. This acquaintance will become a turning point in the detective’s life.

Episode 6. Murder in the hospital of the Court Department.

Lipov’s chance to enjoy Valdaytseva’s singing is cut short—there was a murder in the hospital of the Court Department, and he, together with Stanetsinsky, had to rush there immediately.

Belka manages to fool the detectives again and again: in the Mariinsky Hospital she slips away from Klopovsky, and in furnished rooms on Shkipersky Canal she leaves Shiryayev fooled. A new partner helps her—an extremely dangerous person who, in just one day, killed three people.
