What about turning it all upside down? " Tom says, looking her in the eye as he
scratches his neck and shoots his lower jaw lightly in a thoughtful, subtle
grimace.
"On the head? Isn't that what we always try to do? "
Olina looks distrustfully at him and at the New-Nordic sandwich, which is
appetizingly arranged in the glass stand in front of them.
The dining room at FRANK A, serves as a canteen for PET, the shipping company
HP Shores and the international audit firm UREL & PARTNERS.
"Tell, tell!"
She quickly glances around the restaurant, an old habit she has. Today, in
addition to themselves, four chefs, a single pair of younger people, a man and a
woman, are seated, facing each other at one of the tables with papers spread
across the table. The couple eagerly discusses what is on the papers, gesticulates
and makes notes - probably a few interns. The beautifully decorated restaurant
is divided into closed dining lounges along the windows with custom-made
reddish brown, high-backed leather sofas and expensive hand-carved dining
tables in lightwood. In the ceiling there are ten copies of the PH lamp “Koglen” in
copper, and on the floor is a thick, black carpet.
Tom continues the conversation as they slowly move along the rustic black
counter where the chefs work behind in the large, open kitchen.
“I have chosen to look at the investigation here in Denmark once again. The
reports and investigation made in 1984 were in many ways far too lacking, both
in relation to Johan, who had worked freelance for Kräsen for a couple of years,
up to his disappearance, but also in relation to the alcoholic Jens Willumsen. "
"Hmm, yes." Olina nods approvingly.
He continues low-key: “The investigations around Johan became vague because
they did not want to hurt the wife and the children and therefore did not take the
demanding, in-depth conversations that could have shed light on Johan's mental
state and mapped out his journey in detail up to his disappearance. The same
was true of the other Dane, Jens Willumsen, who disappeared the same year. His
disappearance was quickly seen as a consequence of his alcohol abuse. He had
probably fallen into a lake or cave, possibly drowned in the sea on one of his
trips south. "
