If she was transported wrapped in plastic, tracking down the vehicle might be difficult. But why hadn\u2019t the murderer left Noora in the garbage bag? Why had they gone to the trouble of ripping it off when they shoved Noora in the trunk of Kati J\u00e4rvenper\u00e4\u2019s car? Could there have been some sort of symbol on the garbage bag that would have revealed the murderer\u2019s identity?<\/p>\n

And that dark-red fingernail . . . I wanted Ulrika Weissenberg at the station pronto. I wasn\u2019t going to settle for playing the uninvited guest at her posh house again. Now I would be the one with the home court advantage. \u201cHi. This is Sergeant Maria Kallio from the Espoo Police. I\u2019d like to meet with you at the main police station as soon as possible.\u201d \u201cAnd why is that?\u201d Weissenberg asked. \u201cI assume it has something to do with Noora\u2019s murder.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly. Would two o\u2019clock work?\u201d I was surprised when Ulrika Weissenberg agreed. I considered the fingernail. Asking for a sample for comparison would require strong evidence. I also wanted Ulrika Weissenberg\u2019s fingerprints. In my mind I listed all the people who could have touched Noora\u2019s new skates. In addition to the salesperson and Janne, there were both of the coaches, Rami and Elena; Silja; Noora\u2019s family; and maybe Ulrika. We would have to get prints from all of them.<\/p>\n

Pihko could work with Forensics on that, since he probably had the most tact of all of us. Although surely Koivu would want to go along to collect Silja Taskinen\u2019s fingerprints. I was just going to give Pihko a buzz when my phone rang. \u201cHello, this is Kauko Nieminen. How is my daughter\u2019s murder investigation progressing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s progressing. The forensic laboratory is currently analyzing material found on the body,\u201d I said stiffly. The word \u201cbody\u201d felt strange, but what else could I have said? Deceased? \u201cMy wife is extremely upset you set Ter\u00e4svuori free.<\/p>\n
