"Maybe it was mostly the management that disliked Kjell Brorsson?"

"Yes, actually," the bookkeeper confirmed. "Kjell was a nice guy. It’s a shame he left the way he did."

Alm asked a few more questions, mostly to lay down a smokescreen. He didn’t want anyone to think that he wasn’t very interested in the bookkeeper, that he was primarily suspicious of those who had lost money. Next in line was August Roos. It was not difficult to see what feelings he had for Kjell Brorsson.

"Serves him right for being dead. He took half my pension with him. Probably could have paid up if he had been honest."

This wasn’t what Lasse had expected. Was it a way to make himself less suspicious? Did he think the police were looking for someone to hide their disgust for the murder victim? Alm knew from experience that it meant nothing. A proposed perpetrator does not try to hide his attitude towards the victim.

"There were others who lost out in the bankruptcy. Could any of them have killed Kjell Brorsson?"

"Sure," Roos replied. "I had a good mind to do it myself."

Such a response would have put many innocent people in custody. Roos probably sensed the danger.

"I don’t mean that I would actually do it. And not anyone here at the firm."

Alm gave Roos a quick smile. "Don’t worry, feelings are one thing, murder is quite another."
