Vares: Private Eye Page #3

---

So you're interested

in the Kerttu Malmsten case?

The family asked you to dig into it?

- Yes.

Here's the material.

Quite a pile. Is this everything?

That's all we could get legally.

The police are probably still sitting

on quite a bit of evidence.

She was a pretty girl.

She was a smart girl.

She studied at the university.

Bring everything back

when you're done. - Of course.

You can trust me, you know.

"'Y ou can trust me, 'Korppi said.

The woman stared at him

with her deep blue eyes that said:

Take me now.

Take me roughly. "

Oh.

I've been calling you.

I've been busy with work.

Come on in.

This is from Asta.

You're actually working.

- Yeah, I even surprised myself.

What's this?

- That's the last photo of Kerttu.

Asta got a copy from the police.

They think the murderer took it

with a disposable camera.

Asta thinks the photo is beautiful.

Why would the murderer...

Sh*t.

What?

Oh.

You're a bit stiff here.

- Yeah, it's a bit tight right there.

I'm a trained physiotherapist.

Feel better?

Pretty good.

Arto...

You called me Arto.

- I did?

Yeah.

One question.

Was it great?

- Mind-blowing.

This won't happen again.

- That's right.

This makes my work ethics look bad.

This was a work-related accident.

- A good work-related accident.

I love Arto.

There are a couple of things

I don't understand. About Kerttu.

Oh, sorry.

We don't have to do it like this.

Go ahead. - How did you

find out about Kerttu's death?

I was in Nice when Asta called me.

I was just buying this bracelet for her.

Asta was calm and collected.

She told me Kerttu was dead.

Was I good?

Perfect.

You want coffee?

Did you get the necklace?

Good.

I want to see some money, -

or the cops will start getting

body parts first-class mail.

Riitta Vuorela?

Yes? - My name is Jussi Vares.

I'd like to ask you about your daughter.

Kerttu and my daughter Pirkko

were like two peas in a pod.

They played together.

They went to school together.

They went to the university.

They did everything together.

And then they found Kerttu dead.

I heard Pirkko doesn't live

in Finland anymore. - That's right.

That's just great.

I don't know about that. I'd say it's sad.

- I see.

It all started with a big fight.

I came across a pregnancy test.

She panicked and wouldn't tell me

who the father was.

I tried to change her mind,

but she wanted to keep the baby.

Then, without a warning,

I got a text message:

"Hi Mom. I moved to California

with the father of my baby."

I haven't talked to her since.

- Not even on the phone?

I've written on her Facebook page,

but she won't answer me.

I'm probably a grandma by now, -
