Although Martin “Blomkvist lacked” (_) the ability to read negatives he was still able to uncover previous unknown facts. During the day before Harriet disappeared

As seen, unlike the public perception of Lisbeth, she shows herself to an critical thinker who is able to overcome any adversity posed to her.
