An attempt was made on businessman Marat Shaikenov. Shaikenov believes that this is the same sniper who has been keeping the entire city in fear for a month, committing more and more murders. Shaikenov turns to the Beagle detective agency with a request to find the sniper. Moreover, death now threatens not only him, but also his fiancée Ella. Investigating this complicated case, private detective Andrei Rostovtsev meets family psychologist Alina Belova, who, thanks to her professional experience, helps Rostovtsev identify the criminal. Rostovtsev invites Alina to become a member of his team.

Alina's fiancé, the famous journalist Dmitry Aristov, lost a flash drive with compromising information on Deputy Governor Stanislav Kravchenko, who, according to his wife Maryana, was involved in the murder of their housekeeper. The detectives, along with a new member of the team, 18-year-old Young, get down to business. One version replaces another, mysteries multiply. Thanks to Alina's professional instincts, she manages to figure out the true killer, whose name comes as a surprise to the whole team. After the successful completion of the case, Alina accepts Andrei Rostovtsev’s offer to become a full-time psychologist at the Beagle detective agency.

A certain Konstantin Rykov comes to the BEAGLE agency. He suspects that his wife Sonya is not faithful to him. In a conversation with Alina, Sonya admits that she really has a secret that she is afraid to share with her husband. It turns out that Sonya was raped by a serial maniac nicknamed “Elevator”, who is not the first time to attack women. To identify the criminal, Alina decides to take a risky step: she is ready to become “bait” for the maniac. With the help of Petrovich and Yoongi, she manages to catch the rapist. However, new details unexpectedly emerge: Alina suspects that Sonya is lying: “The Lifter” had nothing to do with her rape.

It turns out that Zobov had pathological honesty, which is confirmed by the agency secretary Vera Antonovna, who worked with him many years ago. In addition, it turns out that the 60-year-old judge had a young mistress. But most importantly, the detectives learn that Judge Zobov is terminally ill. So what made Zobov commit malfeasance? And where is the judge now? Private detective Andrei Rostovtsev and his team are struggling with these mysteries.

His son Stepan was found murdered in the house of pensioner Efimov. The matter is complicated by the fact that all suspicions fall on Beagle Agency employee Dusan Petrovich. Petrovich violated the orders of his boss and went to the pensioner’s house to help Stepan find an ancient treasure hidden in the house. Prosecutor's office investigator Borodulin promises Rostovtsev to put Petrovich behind bars. The whole team does not believe that Petrovich is guilty and is trying to help their friend.

And only after Beagle manages to bring up the materials of an old case: Nikita’s motorcycle accident, as a result of which he became disabled, Rostovtsev begins to realize that the same person is behind these two crimes.

Alina and Beagle are quarreling. Alina accuses Rostovtsev of neglecting ethical standards when working with clients, and in general he doesn’t care about people. Therefore, when a new client, cemetery watchman Ivan Nikolaevich, comes to the agency and reports that he discovered an ownerless corpse in the cemetery at night, Beagle immediately entrusts Alina with independently investigating this seemingly trivial matter. The next day, Alina receives a message that Ivan Nikolaevich died: being drunk, he burned down in his lodge. The habit of not believing in accidents forces Alina to continue the investigation. Understanding the seemingly insignificant circumstances of the case, Alina does not suspect that she will be faced with the criminal secrets of the funeral business.
