‘Yes, you keep asking me. Why wouldn’t I be?’ It was only at that moment she realized the rest of the team were looking at her too, without even trying to hide it.

‘You just seem so… absent. Did something happen?’

‘No, like what?’

‘I don’t know. But I would personally find Sievert Landertz’s attacks in the papers pretty difficult to handle.’

‘Whatever. I couldn’t care less about what he says.’

‘Okay, great. It’s obviously empty threats, but if anything happens, don’t hesitate to ask for help, okay?’ Tuvesson turned to the others. ‘Where were we?’

‘The crime scene investigation at ICA Maxi,’ Molander said and turned to Lilja. ‘Which has determined that the perpetrator exited through the staff entrance and fled on his bike.’

‘I know,’ Lilja lied and emptied her coffee cup.

‘And what do we have on the victim, Lennart Andersson?’ Tuvesson asked.

‘Not much, other than that he was divorced, did a lot of sports and seemed to have a burning passion for genealogy,’ Klippan replied. ‘I’ve talked to his ex-wife, who fell apart when she received the news. According to her, he was one of the best people she knew.’

Tuvesson nodded. ‘Any new theories about possible motives? Apart from trying to start a race war, as Fabian has already suggested.’

‘No, not so far. But the ex-wife gave me a list of all his friends and acquaintances. I’m crossing them off one by one. I’ve also requested all the CCTV footage from the week before the murder. Hopefully that can give us something to go on.’

‘All right. Let’s move on to Wessman and the hidden webcams, more of which, if I’ve understood correctly, have been found in other flats.’ Tuvesson walked up to the whiteboard, where she made space for more victims next to Molly Wessman’s photographs and notes.

‘Yes, so far I’ve identified four other women who were under surveillance,’ Fabian said, studiously avoiding the looks Molander gave him as soon as he opened his mouth. ‘If Lina Parnerud at Fiberbolaget is to be believed, Christofer Comorowski has installed fibre-optic cables in twelve buildings during her time with the company. How many flats he did before that is anyone’s guess.’

‘And these latest ones, are they bedrooms and bathrooms, too?’

‘Yes,’ Molander said, finally taking his eyes off him.

‘And how are you getting on with the webcams?’

‘I don’t know about getting on. I haven’t even looked at them yet.’

‘Why not?’ said Lilja, topping up her coffee.

‘Firstly, because I believe we can assume it’s the same set-up and models as in Wessman’s flat.’

‘And secondly?’
