From Quiz The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Answer:
Vanger became a full-fledged financial partner
Mikael organized the family into a comprehensive tree to better understand their lives, and discovered that each of them held countless secrets. When he taped the family tree together, he found that he had several dozen suspects in the case, all of whom were present on the day of the accident. After meeting several members of the family, Mikael departed from Hedestad for a day to meed Detective Superintendent Morell and get his thoughts on the case; Morell assumed Harriet was murdered but, of course, there was no way to prove it.
Erika Berger visited and, during a conversation, Vanger offered his partnership to save "Millennium" provided Mikael would take over as publisher again. This act would be the strongest message they could make against Wennerstrom, and possibly protect them from losing any more advertisers.
During his investigation, Mikael discovered a list of five names and numbers in the back of a datebook written by Harriet. These, however, were of no use to him until he found their meaning.
Lisbeth, seeking the cash for a new computer, visited Bjurman at his office but, to her shock, was sexually attacked. Following this traumatic event she decided to take matters into her own hands.
