Wiktor’s character

Wiktor Forst is a rebellious police commissioner, known from the works of Remigiusz Mróz. Characterized by a harsh cynicism, a tendency to straddle the line between the law, and a sharp tongue, he is a distinct character, far removed from the stereotypical lawman. He was in a relationship with his boss’s daughter Agata but he left her. He suffered from alcoholism but he went sober and from cigarette addiction which he combats by replacing them with “Big Red” gums.

Beast of Giewont Trilogy

“Exposition”

Hangman murder

On Giewont there has been a naked man found hung from the Giewont’s Cross which is 15 meters high, crime scene technicians have already searched the place and found no trace of a killer (Which would lead people to belive it was suicide), the only thing left unsearched was the body which Commissioner Forst requested to remain where the killer left it because he wanted to see it like the killer did.

P1: Leaving a victim in such a spot and removing its dignity is a cry
P2: No Killer tries so hard to be seen and wants to be anonymous
C: There has to be an autograph or some other type of signature

After being asked by a Sergeant if it’s a religious motive Wiktor quickly rejects the idea presenting this reasoning.

P1: If this was a religious motive the killer would leave much more than a body, these kinds of people love symbols
P2: Body is devoid of symbolism
C: Not a religious motive

Then the Sergeant brings up the cross itself as a symbol, but Wiktor tells him that the cross is not a religious symbol since it became the business card for the Tatry mountains during the times of [PRL (Communist Poland)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish\_People%27s\_Republic).
The knot the killer used was well known by anybody who ever climbed a mountain, but the knot didn’t matter much because only somebody who knows how to navigate the mountains could drag a body on a mountain that’s almost 1900 meters high.

The killer left no traces on the body when he got it up the cross, it was as if the man came up there himself and hanged himself.
When the inspector Edmund Osica asked him about specifics the only thing he could say for sure was the trail killer used.

P1: There are 2 trails
P2: Red trail was closed by TPN
P3: The yellow trail is commonly used by the tourists and today it has been used by dozens of people which would remove any potential trace
C: Killer had to use the yellow trail.
All evidence points to suicide, but Wiktor had noticed one mistake of the killer which gave it away as murder
P1: The man is hanging on a dynamic line
P2: The reason why hanging is quick death and a go-to suicide method is because people die not from strangulation but from the snapping of the spinal cord
C: The man died of strangulation and it’s unlikely that it would be by choice.
They took the man down from the cross, then Wiktor took a closer look at the face and immediately noticed that the man was around 60, wore glasses, hyoid bone was broken but most importantly he noticed a lack of closure of the arterial blood supply to the brain.
the arterial blood supply to the brain was not closed —> the victim didn’t lose consciousness —> it’s not normal for a victim of strangulation to remain conscious while dying —> The Killer took the victim off the line (maybe multiple times) to make sure he’ll remain conscious in order to torture him, he could have his twisted fun for few hours.

Then Wiktor put his hand inside the victim’s mouth and found an ancient, greek coin, the killer’s signature, Wiktor quickly took some photos of it on his phone knowing fully well that it would go to Dactyloscopy department then to Biology department and to few different places, so he wouldn’t see it for a while.

Signature location reasoning:
P1: hyoid bone was broken as if the man was hung from a static line
P2: the man was hung from a dynamic line
C: It’s not a normal injury, so the killer could leave his signature there.

The dead man on the Giewont’s cross attracted attention of the people all over Poland, when Olga Szrebska an NSI reporter asked Wiktor what can he say about the victim he told her that this was suicide. Wiktor’s strategy: The killer is obviously looking for attention since he went through all of this trouble to hang a man from a cross on Giewont while leaving no trace on the mountains, victim and the rope. The idea is that if such an attention seeker like him is denied that attention by having the public believe that it’s just a suicide he will get angry and go after Wiktor for taking that attention away from him.

Wiktor estimated that it would take for him and Inspector Osica to get from the Cross to the Strążyska Valley around 2 hours and 30 minutes while walking at the average speed of the inspector.

While walking down the Inspector got a call from the Commandant and told Wiktor that he got suspended, he quickly got suspicious of this since he didn’t even get told what for nor got time to address the accusations, and the video on which he lied to the public was just released, there was no time for even signing a document.

The Alliance

Since Wiktor was suspended he could not work the case, he tried to get help from the people who owed him favors but they said themselves that “there’s nothing I can do”, so he ran away from the inspector in order to contact Olga Szrebska.

Wiktor had told her about the suspension and he reasoned out that he had been suspended precisely so he couldn’t work the case and that somebody doesn’t want the case to be solved.

P1: No known cause of suspension
P2: without a doubt I pissed off my superiors with the stunt on Giewont, but there wasn’t nearly enough time to deal with the formalities of the suspension.
P3: The case went to Gomoła, who is probably the most idiotic Commissioner in our ranks.
C: I have been suspended preventively, so the case wouldn’t be solved
Wiktor shows Olga photos of the coin he found in the hangman’s mouth, Olga pointed out to him that the coin has to be a red herring because no cautious killer would leave a piece of evidence which could lead to his downfall, Wiktor was aware of that. He had only shown her the coin to remind her that he has more information than she does.

Wiktor uses Olga’s clear ambitions of being the star of NSI and promises her that she would become the star of NSI to manipulate her into cooperating with him and fulfilling his demand of not releasing any material to the media without him agreeing to it.
(I probably should mention that he flirts with her the entire time, pretty directly if I may add, tho he doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere)

During the car ride they manage to get the hangman’s name Dr. Marek Chalimoniuk lecturer from the University of Rzeszów via crowdsourcing to which Olga used her profile on Facebook. Wiktor also recognised the smell of Olga’s perfume and had no doubt that it was “Kenzo Amour”.

Wiktor suspects multiple killers that chased him/influenced him in some way to run up the trail to the cross, and then they hanged him.

Wiktor gets an SMS from his police department, they want to interrogate him which further reinforced his theory about preventive suspension. According to him somebody is clearly trying to stop him from solving the case, he doesn’t know the reason and the one trying is a professional because he took action quickly and that means somebody wants to silence him immediately. During the meeting with Olga’s Informant he stays alert (I won’t analyse the meeting, it provides no feats, though he did urge Olga to arrange the meeting in public).

After the meeting Wiktor suspects that the killer had previous experience and that there could be a similar case in the past, he decides that they should go to NSI archives however Olga told him that it’s easier to search on the internet. She couldn’t find anything, not even on the NSI database.

Wiktor’s attempt at profiling the killer:
“He wasn't a specialist in psychological profiling, but he nevertheless tried to profile the murderer. The perpetrator certainly didn't want to remain completely anonymous, otherwise he wouldn't have left the coin. This meant he wanted to repeat his act by signing his name again—or that he had already done it once and it went unnoticed.

The FBI used the Holmes and Holmes typology to identify such individuals. It was based on an analysis of the perpetrator's behavior at the scene and distinguished several types of degenerates. In this case, he could be referring to the second group—murderers focused on the process. Unlike those who focused on the act itself, these murderers killed slowly. They reveled in suffering and derived inhuman pleasure from what led to their victims' deaths.

The Giewont killer fits this group. Two subtypes were distinguished within this group: hedonistic murderers and power and authority freaks. The latter usually had complete control over the murder scene, often strangling their victims and demonstrating their mastery of the situation.

They considered themselves gods. Masters of life and death.”

At this point Wiktor thought that they had exhausted all possible sources, Olga mentioned that she knows a retired investigative journalist who knows every case that took place after 89 and earlier too (though only in passing).

“Forst was also familiar with the subject, but not enough to be a walking encyclopedia of Polish murderers. Only when Szrebska searched the internet did he recall a number of degenerates that normal people refused to remember.

The Scorpion killed five people in 2001. The Zagłębie vampire in the 1960s – fourteen women. Frankenstein from Bytom – six victims. The Gentleman Killer – thirty. There was also the Sulejów murderer, sentenced to death in 1993, a moratorium on which was in effect at the time. And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Considering all this, it was hardly surprising that something as spectacularly perverse as the Chalimoniuk killing on Giewont eventually occurred.“

They called Szrebska’s associate and learned about a murder in Belarus in 1991 in which a teenage boy was murdered with an axe or a similar weapon and the killer tried to put a coin in between his teeth, he had to help himself with a leg. The man was never caught.
They also got the name and an address of the Russian agent who could share the info with them.

The Trip to Russia

During their trip they found themselves followed by a police car, they activated the signal, Wiktor recognised what car was that (Alfa Romeo 159) and how fast it can go. He knew that Olga’s car (Opel Astra) was too slow for any attempt at escape.
After Olga had parked the car in a parking lot they were approached by 2 policemen from both sides, the policemen were hostile, at one point Wiktor instinctively hit one of them with the back of his head in the nose when one of them tried to push him against the car and disarmed him, though he didn’t plan to defend himself. He threatened them with a gun, the armed policeman called his bluff but was too stupid to act on it. Olga played the part of a scared of her partner collaborator as an assurance if they were caught, so there wouldn’t be any grounds to draw consequences for her.
Then Wiktor told the armed policeman to drop the weapon and kick it away. Wiktor realised that the policemen were never supposed to arrest them, they were supposed to provoke him so the police would be able to turn the situation from an internal to an external one, by making them fugitives. Then he pointed the gun at Olga and told her to get back in the car and asked the cop who told them where they were but got no satisfying answer. Olga started acting like a woman in distress, so she couldn’t be prosecuted for crimes if they were caught. Forst told the 2nd cop to drop the gun and kick it away. Then Forst had realised that the cops weren’t supposed to arrest them, the real purpose of this attempt was to provoke Forst to attack so the police could turn this internal matter into an external one and proclaim both of them as fugitives but at this point it was too late. Then he pointed the gun at Szrebska and commanded her to get into the car again, took the keys to the Alpha in order to remove a possibility of the cops chasing them and left with Olga.

At some point during their journey Wiktor and Olga needed to find a place to rest in, Wiktor knew that the most safe option would be sleeping in the forest but Olga wasn’t fine with that solution. Wiktor started to reject houses to make sure that the possibility of the owner calling the police would be low.

“She didn't know what he meant - but she quickly found out. He rejected first place because they saw too many people who would have to be convinced of their version. In the next few, NSI or TVN 24 were on, and by now the news about the fugitives could have spread across all news channels. Although the most tasty morsel was the murder on Giewont, the stations would certainly be happy to diversify the message.

Another house was rejected because in the yard there was an old Opel Tigra with a spoiler that was too big, most likely belonging to someone young. So there was a danger that the host was following everything that was happening on Facebook.”

The fifth house looked like a place where the risk was the lowest, in it lived an old woman to which he lied that they are on pilgrimage from Częstochowa, which worked because old women in Poland are really religious, she was more likely to let them in, which she did do.
Next morning Wiktor had turned on a radio and learned that the killer had struck again, the victim was a 15 year old girl. The first thing he noticed was that there’s no key, no shared trait between 3 victims.
Forst called a friend in the unit to get more info about the last murder, he did that because he knew that the traditional method of locating cell phones is signal triangulation and that to locate his phone the police would need his phone to be in reach of 3 stations, but Wiktor knew that they are in the middle of nowhere and that he’s most likely in the range of one station and that meant that the risk was very low. The friend Wiktor called was a young man (Stefan Dębski) who his coworkers usually use to get some paperwork off their backs, Wiktor was not one of these people plus Stefan owed Wiktor a favour for getting him a VIP pass for Pyrkon (Polish Comic Con). The information Wiktor got didn’t help much.

He has good knowledge of Russian geography

-“We need to get to Voskresensk,” she said, reading the address.
-“A stone's throw from Moscow.”
-“You know the geography of our eastern neighbor that well?”
-“I paid attention in high school. My teacher was an exceptional Nazi (as in as strict as a nazi), but those are the best, at least in retrospect.”

But there was a complication before they could leave and get back on track to Russia, and that is the fact that the old woman learned about the fugitives from Father Tadeus and called the police.
Forst turned his head towards the window and noticed a sniper barrel hiding in the trees.

Police Ambush Escape Plan

To get out of this mess Wiktor recontextualised the information from multiple radio stations and convinced the old lady that it’s all a collusion of the Judeo-Masonic media conglomerate and while acting as if he was conflicted about revealing “the truth” he “revealed” to her that the reason for why they are hunted is that they discovered the truth about [Smoleńsk ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smolensk\_air\_disaster)and that it’s all a part of a russian conspiracy. The woman showed them a small room behind the kitchen to hide in. Trying to run wasn’t an option, snipers would definitely shoot them down. Forst had a gun, he supposed that there’s several dozen police officers outside and more to come. Wiktor heard the voice of his boss, Inspector Osica, that complicated the matters. Wiktor told Olga to leave the room with him and sit at a table because he wanted all of the officers to witness the act. Forst pointed a gun without safety at Olga while holding a finger on the trigger, he knew that if he did had safety on, officers would notice. Wiktor pretended to hold Olga hostage, he immediately demanded Osica to come to him.

P1: Media paints me as a dangerous and ruthless fugitive
P2: Inspector knows that I wouldn’t be capable of shooting an innocent civilian
C: It would be a much wiser choice to not prove them wrong and use that wrong picture of me painted by the media to my advantage.
Osica told the officers to lower their weapons and then Wiktor told him to sit next to the old woman and put his hands on the table. Without any issue Forst noticed that Osica is trying to make it seem like he knows him inside out and that he knew that Wiktor won’t go any further. Osica revealed to Wiktor the fact that he knows that Olga is working with him and that he can’t fool him with that stunt, to which Wiktor agreed and pointed the gun at Osica and told Olga to take his gun. Wiktor predicted that Osica would try to persuade Olga to betray him but he knew that Osica is not nearly good enough at persuasion and that the Grand Press prize and fame she would get are worth the risk for her. Forst demanded a car, money and a pack of cigarettes. Osica tried to cause paranoia in him but to no avail. It was obvious to Wiktor that they didn’t treat him as seriously as he would want to because of the Inspector's relaxed behaviour, so he pointed at his hand and pulled the trigger. He aimed for the edge of the metacarpus in order to not damage the hand permanently, but everything happened so quickly that he couldn't be sure if he hadn't hit a tendon. Wiktor told Olga to stop the bleeding, Osica reacted worse than Wiktor expected, but all the better for the overall effect. The only thing that could mess up his plan at that point was if they called in the GROM unit. Wiktor and Olga while threatening Osica stood up and before they went to take the police car. Wiktor demanded the police to lower their weapons and told Olga to point the gun towards Osica and shoot him if snipers shoot him down. Then he asked deputy commissioner Kaśkiewicz what orders did the snipers get and got the answer that they are supposed to wait for a signal from the commissioner leading the action, he asked her if he’s experienced, Forst didn’t get any answer but he took the silence as a yes.
Wiktor knew that every police car has a tracking device but that didn’t matter since he needed it for a few minutes. After losing the tail they parked the car in a clump of trees and went through the forest on foot, they told Osica about their discoveries since they didn’t see any reason why they shouldn’t and he told them what coin they found in the mouth of the 15 year old girl.
Once they reached a small village Wiktor told Osica to use his badge and take one of the cars to use “during a chase” and when Osica told him that he won’t force him cause he won’t shoot him in public, Wiktor pointed out that he doesn’t have to cause Osica already had opportunities to run and he didn’t even try. The villager said that he has keys inside his house, he and Forst entered the house and Forst left with the keys but without the villager, we don’t know what happened but Forst claims he didn’t hurt him.
Wiktor and Olga took off with Osica in the car and left him few kilometers from the village and 10 kilometers from the next one in the middle of nowhere, Osica wouldn’t return to the village they just left because the villager whose car they took is probably angry and he wouldn’t take risk of something happening to him.

-“Where are we going?” she asked.
-“To Niemirów. Podlaskie Voivodeship.”
-“What's there?”
-“The border strip in the Mielnicka Forest. We'll get through there without any problem.”
-“How do you know such things?”
-“I'm interested in human trafficking.”
-“Excuse me?”
-“Professionally. I work in the homicide department.”

They get captured by [BOR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government\_Protection\_Bureau) they meet the Minister of Internal Affairs (Minister Bieszyński), he was contacted by Inspector Osica who told him about the situation. That prompted the Minister to start investigating a potential conspiracy (because there’s no reason why 2 people without police resources should get further into the investigation than the police) and to check the Belarusian trail. The Belarusian Minister of Internal Affairs agreed to cooperation fairly easily and Wiktor believes he did that to keep the image of Belarus as a mediator between Poland and Russia. (More exposition about the meaning of the coins, I’ll bring this up if needed)
Minister Bieszyński sent Wiktor and Olga to Belarus (still as fugitives) to meet their contact who introduces himself as Siarhiej Gazajew, he took them to the bureau of KGB so they can take a look at the documents, this was however just an illusion of cooperation because the documents were in cyrillic. Wiktor got angry and was going to attack Gazajew but he called in a group of armed KGB agents by violently knocking on the door.

KGB captured Wiktor and Olga and separated them, Gazajew tells Forst that after they entered Belarus the body with a coin was found at the border. KGB started torturing Wiktor and to stop it he had to:

Recall very specific history knowledge: - “And what did you tell him?”

-"That we're on the trail of an ancient mystery."
-"Aha."
-"I'm serious," he said, looking at his smoldering cigarette. "I assume it's about religion."
-"What the hell are you talking about?"
-"I thought about it, reached into my meager historical knowledge, and performed a process of deduction," he replied, handing her the cigarette. "As you remember, the first tetradrachm had an inscription..."
-"Freedom of Jerusalem," she finished. "So what? There was nothing on the others that connected with it."
-"Not exactly, because we still have the Seleucids. It's the same region."
-"Okay. But this..."
-"We're still missing the third element for the diagram, so let's take this Roman denarius. It dates from the mid-first century BC. So, right around the time when Rome was ruling Jerusalem." Szrebska raised her eyebrows, unconvinced that this indicated any connection. After all the journeys all the coins had taken in museums around the world, each one was somehow connected to another.
-"I didn't convince you."
-"No."
-"And I wouldn't have convinced that KGB prick either," Wiktor replied with a smile. "If it weren't for the fact that it fit with everything he'd managed to determine so far."
-"What?"
-"The guy told me the victims here also had their coins. And as you can imagine, they've accumulated quite a few since '91."
-Olga took a nervous drag on her cigarette.
-"One depicted Demetrius II Nicator, a Seleucid related to ours. The lion's share of coins depicted Tyrian, also a ruler from that era. I remembered the name for obvious reasons. I watch Game of Thrones."
-"And what does that give us?"
-"Nothing at this stage."
-"But did you convince him you knew what the connection was?"
-"Exactly," he admitted with satisfaction. "I said I'd share everything with him voluntarily, but I set one condition: your safety in exchange for the information."

Submit a declaration of espionage cooperation
Confess to being one of the killers and tell him that there are multiple who don’t know each other and that he can find them if given time.

The rest of part 2 is basically more exposition about the coins which I won’t bore you with.
Wiktor and Olga obviously can’t find a killer, so Wiktor gets taken to the “Black Dolphin” and Olga gets a trial in Russia for her “crimes”.

Z początkiem roku 2026 zdecydowałem, że zacznę czytać książki gdyż tego nie robiłem do tej pory (to czy oszukuje poprzez audiobooki to nie mi oceniać).

Jak decydowałem się na polską literaturę to wziąłem się za serie o Komisarzu Forście dlatego, że widziałem Netflixową adaptację, którą uznałem za średnią a według internautów była dużo gorsza od książek najpewniej z tego powodu, że miesza ze sobą "Ekspozycje" i "Przewieszenie" przy usunięciu połowy treści obu z nich po to aby zmieściły się w sześciu trzydziesto minutowych odcinkach. (Swoją drogą nieuwzględnienie Mroza w kręgu scenarzystów i przy podejmowaniu decyzji jest czystym idiotyzmem)

Jak brałem się do serii to spodziewałem się gry w kotka i myszkę wciągającą jak te między L a Kirą ("Death Note"), czy Patrickiem Janem a Red Johnem ("The Mentalist"), i w tym Mróz podołał.

Komisarz Wiktor Forst jest naprawdę ciekawym protagonistą, genialny śledczy oraz cynik działający na granicy prawa zmagający się z nałogami (papierosy, alkohol a w "Trawers" jeszcze heroina)

Równie ciekawy jest Iwo Eliasz, czyli "Bestia z Giewontu", psychopata który szczerze wieży w to, że ma misję od Boga i chce się zapisać na kartach historii (swoją drogą Kira jak i Red John mogliby być inspiracjami Mroza).

W każdej książce wszystko wydaje się składać w jedną całość, co prawda nie analizowałem ich ale planuje to zrobić.

Jedyną książką z serii którą mogę nazwać złą jest "Deniwelacja", z jakiegoś powodu Forst leci na jakąś misję pod przykrywką do Hiszpanii cholera wie po co, tak jakby Mróz chciał napisać książkę o polskim odpowiedniku Jamesa Bonda ale w trakcie zdecydował się, że może pod to podpiąć Forsta, dopisać fabułę B z seryjnym mordercą która się połączy z fabułą A i nikt się nie połapie. Szczególnie, że wyjawienie czytelnikowi kto jest mordercą nie budzi żadnej reakcji. Cały wątek w Hiszpanii był dla mnie nieciekawy a Dominika Wadryś-Hansen nie jest na tyle ciekawą postacią aby pociągnąć cały wątek sama (z jakiegoś powodu jest postacią poboczną do kurwy nędzy), ale niestety trzeba poznać ten tom aby poznać tego ruskiego mafioza i historie między nim a Forstem aby Mróz mógł tego użyć w "Zerwie"

Zirytował mnie również fakt, że Forst wiedział kto jest sprawcą przez cały czas, jestem świadomy tego, że w "Zerwie" występuje to samo tylko różnica jest taka, że w "Zerwie" Forst trzyma te informacje dla siebie aby móc w finale zastawić pułapkę na "Bestie z Giewontu" a w "Deniwelacji" poprostu czuł się winny tych morderstw, co nie przeszkadza mu parę rozdziałów później w złapaniu mordercy.

Teraz jestem w trakcie słuchania "Halnego" i bawie się przy tym przednio. Mróz wydaje się wiedzieć idealnie jak podbudować napięcie i je rozluźnić (głównie za pomocą Osicy).
