FRAGMENT KSIĄŻKI
CHAPTER 2
WHEN NOWAK arrived at the Police Station on Wilcza at 10:00 the next day, Pawluk was waiting for him.
“I don’t know how you get by on so little sleep,” Nowak said with a note of envy.
“The kids were up before 7 for school. You know how it is...”
“It’s not something I miss. Any progress with the body from the building site?”
“The forensic team completed their work. I’ve had a look through the initial findings and there’s nothing suspicious.”
“Okay, should I read their report?”
“I’m not sure there’s much point. There’s not much in it, except the facts. And besides which, we’ve received this.”
He handed a note to Nowak. “It’s from the Chief.”
Nowak read what was written. “So, it seems there’s nothing for us to do then. He says there are no grounds for launching an investigation. I’d have preferred another day to ask a few questions.”
“But if he says no investigation’s necessary.”
“You see, Pawluk, this is what happens when budgets are tightened. He was at one of his meetings with the financial people yesterday, and this is the result. Can you do one thing for me, though.”
“What’s that?”
“Do a quick check on the building site and see if anything’s happened there. Accidents, that sort of thing. It shouldn’t take more than half an hour. In the meantime, I’ll finish off this paperwork.”
When Nowak was done he went down to the canteen in the basement for a cup of coffee. On his way, he dropped in on Pawluk and told him to join him when he finished his checks on the building site. He had just ordered his second cup when his sergeant arrived.
“Well?”
“There is something. It’s not the first dead body on the building site. There was a teenager found dead there four weeks ago.”
“I thought I remembered reading something.”
“It was just an accident, though. He was up on one of the top floors tagging the outside wall and it seems he lost his balance and fell.”
“Was there any investigation?”
“Not by our boys. The building inspectorate sent their team down as a matter of procedure. Everything was in order. The site was secure. The place where he fell from was properly maintained. They even had CCTV footage of him spraying the wall. Just a tragic accident.”
“That’s that then.”
They sat and drank their coffees, reading the newspapers that had been left on the tables. On the front page of one was a report of the death at the building site. Another had a headline about a controversial road-building project that had just been finished. Nowak began reading the story. It had run 20% over budget and the media had got hold of some information about a lack of transparency in the awarding of contracts. A senior figure in the Ministry of Infrastructure had resigned over the matter. That hadn’t satisfied the media though. They smelled blood and were now reporting that the route of the road had been changed to protect the land values of an area near the river which would bring in significant amounts of money to the city.
“Did you read about this?” Nowak said to Pawluk.
“No, it becomes boring after a while reading about all these scandals.”
“They won’t let this one go, though. There’s a big finger pointing the mayor’s way.”
“It’s not the first time, is it? What is it they call him, Mr 10%?” They both laughed.
