Open Case File · DAILY-SILO-BRIDGE
Not Applicable
At dawn, as the harvest season drew to a close, Henryk Baran, the cooperative's safety officer, was found buried in grain inside Storage Building No. 3 at the Bielków Grain Cooperative. The cylindrical storage structure—a silo that holds grain stacked dozens of meters high—had claimed him. Cause of death: mechanical asphyxiation, chest compressed by the cascading grain, unable to draw breath. Five people remained on the cooperative grounds that dawn. Interrogate them. Find out why grain flowed from the bottom of Silo No. 3 at that hour.

5 suspects
Iwona SobczakCooperative quality and safety officerMid-thirties, accustomed to aligning documents front and back. When questioned, she first confirms which form and which line, speaks slowly but in long sentences. Draws a line at matters outside her responsibility.
Kamil DudaNight shipment assistant (contract)Late twenties, moves his body first and speaks later. Answers questions briefly; when asked about time, recalls the radio log first. When permanent staff are mentioned, he cannot meet eyes.
Marek ZabatskiNight discharge operatorMid-forties, few words, keeps time precisely. When questioned, answers in the order written on documents and adds no judgment of his own. Low voice, expression barely changes.
Tomasz BrońskiContract haulerEarly fifties, loud voice, gestures precede words. When losses come up, he starts with numbers; when a topic might implicate him, he changes the subject.
Grzegorz MalinowskiCooperative managing directorLate fifties, spares words, reaches conclusions before the other finishes speaking. When the cooperative is mentioned, answers with numbers and schedules; expression hardens at personal questions.
