- About the Publisher
‘“Stealth, my friends. This is how we will win. The deniers are after us, spreading their fake news and propaganda, but with your help, they won’t stop us. Keep recruiting to the LfA family and ignore the lies. Gentrification is real. Social action is the law of the streets. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.”’
‘As much as that post is a load of bullshit, it’s not written by someone illiterate,’ I said. ‘My guess is it was written by the same person who posted the other gentrification stuff.’ I studied the images on the board. ‘So, given s10s is Kenny, I reckon Frazer is his brother, John. Sophie Williams said John’s doing a vocational course in Digital Technologies.’
‘Putting his studies to good use, by the looks of it,’ Jackie grunted. ‘I agree. There’s no way that gentrification stuff was written by Kenny Hayes.’ Her tone was as unequivocal as her words. ‘His writing is more like the SMS that was sent to the burner phone.’
‘What if the tall bloke in the alley behind Rosa’s is Kenny’s brother, John?’ I said. ‘He’s a bit younger but age is difficult to judge. He’d match that description.’
‘Could be him,’ said Jackie.
‘My gut feeling is that Olaf Strozyk isn’t involved with LfA or the arson,’ Dan said. ‘It’s true that he’s scraping by as an accountant, and can’t afford to employ more staff so he’s working long hours. He also has no blood ties with Rosa but we’ve now received confirmation that he wasn’t lying when he said LfA and the website aren’t anything to do with him. Web4U have confirmed that his ten-year domain subscription ended, and the website was temporarily suspended.’
Dan’s comments rang a bell. ‘I agree. When we interviewed him, he denied reactivating the LfA website. Someone who’s tech-savvy wouldn’t have much difficulty making it look as though a website was registered to a different person, and once payments on a domain name discontinue, after a while, it can be sold again.’
‘You mean someone could be setting Olaf up to take the flack?’
‘Yeah. He might be a good accountant but he’s a bit dozy, and naïve, and he’s clearly over-worked. I don’t see him as a criminal mastermind, though, do you? Perhaps, as Dan says, he really isn’t involved with the group now, and didn’t notice that his old website had been taken over by someone else?’
‘So, we discount Olaf as a suspect?’ Dan asked.
‘I think so. Everything points towards LfA. With their knowledge, they could have used Olaf as a shield.’ I shifted my attention to Jackie. ‘What did Artem have to say?’
