Minister Yefrogen could not utter a word in the face of the accusations from the several men, because he indeed could not find any excuse.
It wasn't that he didn't take this matter seriously—last night he had almost mobilized all the police force in Moscow, going all out to search for the gunman.
But apart from finding the very ordinary Lada car driven by the gunman not far from the crime scene, no other discoveries were made.
According to what Chairman Grezlov, his assistant, and his driver stated, there should have been at least three people in that car when the shooting happened, because, in addition to the two gunmen who opened fire, there should have been a driver.
Naturally, it was these three individuals whom Minister Yefrogen commanded to be searched for.
As for the car abandoned by the gunmen, the police obviously investigated its origin with the utmost speed, hoping to trace the gunmen through this clue.
