Plot of the film Investigation led by ZnaToKi (Case No. 10: Counterattack):

Law-abiding citizen Tatyana Sergeevna, head of a children's room at one of Moscow's housing offices, comes to see police colonel Vadim Skopin.

She said that together with the guys they collected scrap metal, waste paper and other recyclable materials, but were unable to hand it over to the collection point because the person in charge categorically refused to accept it.

Then the guys decided to secretly follow him and found out that he didn’t accept anything or anyone at all and showed up at work only for show, although he drove around the city in a fancy car.ZIM".

The detectives were very interested in this scrap collector who drove a government car, and they decided to take a closer look at him. As it turned out, it was not in vain, because Moralev, that was the collector's last name, was a link in a criminal scheme to steal state property, organized by the director of the landfill, Yevgeny Vorontsov.

Metal blanks, under the guise of defects, were written off from the plant by engineer Boris Bakh, and then taken to the city dump. From the dump, they were accepted as scrap materials by receiver Moralev and handed back to the plant, receiving cash, which Vorontsov then distributed among all participants in the scheme.

Feeling that the investigation is interested in their criminal schemes, engineer Boris Bakh tries to get out of the game, but his accomplices kill him, simulating suicide. But before the murder, they force Bakh to write a suicide letter in which he blames police investigator Major Pavel Znamensky for his death.

Vorontsov rejoices, his trick worked: Znamensky was removed from the case, Bakh died, and without him all their criminal activity lost its organized quality, which meant that if exposed, the lightest punishment awaited them.

However, Vorontsov's joy was premature, and Znamensky's dismissal did not affect his colleagues' desire to expose Vorontsov and company, and they strike back at the criminals...
