Martinsson had sifted through the tip-offs. Everything that the police learnt was fed into a computer. Then he did a rough sort. The most ridiculous ones never got beyond the print-outs.Hulda Yngveson phoned from Vallby and said that is was the disapproving hand of God that dealt the blow, said Martinsson.She always calls, sighed Rydberg. If a calf runs off, it's because God is displeased.I put her on the C.F. list, said Martinsson.The sullen atmosphere was broken by a little amusement when Martinsson explained that C.F. stood for crazy fools.
Martinsson meticulously processed various tips received by the police, inputting all gathered information into a computer system. He began to categorize the tips, discarding the most absurd ones that didn't warrant further investigation. Among the calls, one came from Hulda Yngveson, who attributed any misfortune to God's disapproval, a sentiment that Martinsson acknowledged and categorized as a recurring theme.
Rydberg, hearing Hulda's familiar claims, expressed his exasperation, noting her tendency to blame divine intervention for trivial occurrences. In a moment of levity, Martinsson revealed that he had added her to a list for those he deemed irrational, humorously labeling it as the C.F. list, short for "crazy fools." This lighthearted exchange helped alleviate the otherwise somber mood of their work environment.
