Five friends gathered on the outskirts of the city. Among them was Murodbek (the names of the participants of the event have been changed) - a young man who is not yet 19 years old and is full of enthusiasm.

- Let's go, we'll come around! - he said to himself.

The Tracker car standing in front of him seemed to be calling him. "Iron vulture" was not yet officially transferred to his name, but the key was already in his hand. It's a pity that Murodbek didn't even get a driver's license.

- Can you manage? - asked one of his friends suspiciously.

Muradbek smiles: 

- You will see now!

In that moment reason was silent and passion took over. As soon as he got into the car, Murodbek stepped on the gas and proudly flew out into the street. At first, everything was as it should be: joyful laughter, loud music and speed breaking through the wind - the masochistic mood of youth... Then the speed increased even more. 

- Faster! - shouted. Muradbek pressed the gas to the end. That's when... everything changed in an instant. The steering wheel shook, the car shook.

- Be careful! - shouted his friends in the car. But it was too late. The iron bars creaked and broke. The car flew straight into the canal. Those few seconds before falling into the water were the longest and most terrifying moments of my life. Screams... Fear... And cold silence...

When the experts arrived at the scene of the accident, they found a vehicle covered in mud up to the waist, injured young people and inexplicable panic reigning around...

Soon after, the investigation began. For senior lieutenant Farida Sultonova, this was not just another case, but a trial of justice.

- Who was driving the car? - he asked in a quiet but firm voice.

And the answers were almost the same:

- We don't know...

- No one saw...

- I don't remember...

As if everyone had conspired in advance. Farida looked into their eyes. There was fear, but there was no sign of reality.

Then he went to the penalty area. There, covered in mud, the "Tracker" stood as a mute witness. Farida carefully opened the door and began to look inside carefully. Every line, every trace is important to him.

Suddenly he stopped. Noticed something in the air vent near the steering wheel. He bent down and looked: a trail of 4-5 drops of congealed blood... A small but important piece of evidence that will decide the fate of the investigation.

"Where are you..." he whispered in a low voice.

The days of waiting for the expert's answer seemed like years. Finally, the result came: the blood belongs to Muradbek! The truth came out. Further technical analyzes put everything in its place: the guy sitting next to the driver was out of the window, and the passengers in the back were on the other side. The trail of blood was around the steering wheel. This was not a coincidence, it was irrefutable proof...

This incident is a scene from the daily activities of senior lieutenant Farida Sultonova, an investigator of the investigative team of the Urganch district IIB. Despite his young age, he is an investigator who takes his profession seriously and puts the criterion of justice first in every case.

For senior lieutenant Farida Sultonova, each volume in the investigation process is not just another set of documents, but a high responsibility related to human fate and truth. At the heart of his meticulousness and professional skills is one noble goal - the desire to find justice and reveal the truth.

From childhood, Farida was distinguished by her discipline and thirst for knowledge. He successfully graduated from the Khorezm Academic Lyceum of the Ministry of Interior and entered the Ministry Academy. In 2022, he graduated from the course "Investigative Activities" and started his service career.

It is the theoretical knowledge he received at the Academy that leads him to find the truth even in the most complex cases today. Currently, he works diligently with the support of his experienced teachers, standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
