Special Operation
On Friday night, the city was in a state of uproar. The names Bayartsengel, Jargal, and Naadam seemed to be calling for a show, and the three young men called this evening a flight to the gates of heaven. However, this flight ended at 12 o'clock, and the doors of the entertainment venues and shops were closed. The three young men, who did not know what to do, met a woman who turned out to be Saikhnaa, the wife of Tamir, the owner of the distillery. So they entered the factory, and now the real trouble began.
