Child 44 Chapter 52 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Moscow, Same Day

  • Vasili is in his office, desperately trying to figure out where Leo is headed. That's when he notices Arkady's name in Leo's documents, prompting him to call Fyodor.
  • Vasili shows the "case file" to Fyodor (4.52.15). He tells Fyodor that he's concerned with justice, too, and that he'll need Fyodor's help to bring this thing to the finish line.
  • Vasili then asks Fyodor if he has any idea where the murderer lives. Pleased with this turn of events, Fyodor implies that the killer is located "in the south," most likely in Rostov-on-Don (4.52.41).
  • Now that he has the information, Vasili pulls out his gun and shoots Fyodor in the heart.
