Shadows in Vanløse – The Search for the Truth

Vanløse, 1952 – Sentenced in advance Copenhagen, November 1952. Darkness has descended on Vanløse. The rain is pouring down on Jyllingevej, and the weak glow of the streetlights is reflected in the wet asphalt. Most people have gone to sleep, but at Vanløse Apotek the night's peace has been broken. A window is broken. Drawers are rummaged through. Money, medicine, and something the pharmacist is loath to talk about are gone. The police are quickly on the scene. Suspicion almost immediately falls on four young men from the barracks at Jyllingevej: Erik, Poul, Hans and Jens. They were seen in the area earlier in the evening. Neither of them has a convincing alibi. And their association with the barracks doesn't exactly make them popular with law enforcement. For your colleagues, the matter is almost resolved. "Four roots from the barracks. Who else? We'll bring them in for questioning tomorrow morning," comes the message from your superior, Detective Inspector Holm. But you're not convinced. You are a detective at the Copenhagen Police, and something about the crime scene doesn't add up. Why are the broken glass pieces on the wrong side of the window? Why have only the drawers containing the box and the morphine been touched? And how could a random burglar know exactly which drawers to open? You have until dawn to investigate the matter before your colleagues proceed to arrest you. Follow the clues through the dark streets of Vanløse, from the station and the pharmacy on Jernbane Allé to the barracks, the church and Damhussøen. Seek out the witnesses. Examine the evidence. And find the real perpetrator. At each checkpoint you will find a clue for your notebook. Finally at the police station it is you who must point out the perpetrator and convince your boss. Four young men have already been convicted in the eyes of the public. Now it's your job to find out if they're guilty too. Because a good detective doesn't follow rumors. He follows the evidence.
