Meanwhile, Raskolnikov walks into a restaurant with Razimukin. Razimukin tells him that Porfiry Petrovich and Zamyotov and discovered that they suspect Raskolnikov of the murders, which Razumikhin thought was not right. There is still a feeling of guilty conscious in raskolnikovs mind, and this is becoming even more evident in insanity. Razumikhin is the most relieved of all because he tells them about Svidrigailov offering to give Dunya ten thousand rubles, which both women reject immediately. Raskolnikov suggests that Dunya and her mother stay on in St. Petersburg and proposes that they all go into the publishing business together. But then Raskolnikov abruptly gets up to leave. He says that he has resolved to disconnect himself from them for a long time and that they must not try to follow him or keep in touch. This shows how paranoid he is and how mentally he is off course. The rest of the group is dismayed. Razumikhin chases after him, but Raskolnikov sends him back, telling his friend to stay with Pulcheria Alexandrovna and Dunya. Razumikhin realizes here that Raskolnikov is the suspected murderer.
