It was about six or seven when I received a call from Porfiry about the recent investigation into the murder of the old woman and her sister Lizaveta. I had been constantly in search for answers about this man named Raskolnikov, who presented himself in an elusive manner, pretending to have an interest in purchasing the flat. What made me oddly curious is the first question that came out of his mouth: whether the blood of this massacred women was still present.
