But how exactly did Song Mu cause Sang's traffic accident? Wang Shen left the police station and returned to the scene of Sang's accident. Standing beneath the convex lens, Wang Shen carefully examined it. He took out a flashlight he had prepared beforehand, surveyed the surrounding road conditions, and after confirming it was safe, turned it on towards the lens. Wang Shen blinked; the light reflected from the lens was indeed quite dazzling. He was only using a regular small flashlight. But what if he had used a high-powered flashlight? What would the result have been?
Where exactly did the murderer create the bright light? On the street? Unlikely. If someone shone a bright flashlight on a convex lens on the street, it would definitely arouse suspicion. So where was it? Wang Shen frowned, then began to rotate around himself, carefully observing his surroundings. After completing the full rotation, a glimmer of light appeared in Wang Shen's eyes. To his surprise, he discovered a large sign hanging across the street, directly opposite the convex lens, that read "Dr. Song's Psychological Clinic." The clinic's window faced the convex lens, only twenty or thirty meters away. The location was excellent, taking full advantage of both timing and location.
Wang Shen mentally reviewed the killer's plan for staging the traffic accident. Several elements were essential for creating this seemingly accidental incident. First, the killer must be familiar with this intersection as an accident-prone area. Those familiar with this would fall into two categories: traffic police and people who frequently roam the area. With the psychological clinic located there, Song Mu would naturally be very familiar with the intersection. Second, this intersection was a regular route for freight companies, so the killer needed to know the approximate time when trucks passed through. Even the traffic police wouldn't notice this. Only regular residents of the neighborhood would be aware of it. Third, with these two key factors in mind, staging an accidental traffic accident would be relatively simple. The killer only needed to calculate the approximate time the trucks would pass through the intersection, then lure the victim there, time the victim to cross the road, and then use a powerful flashlight to distract the driver. This would create a perfect traffic accident. The entire case seemed too perfect, yet it was perfectly logical. However, this murderer was truly a rare "meticulous" person.
Now that he had figured everything out, Wang Shen decided to pay a visit to Dr. Song. He glanced at the sign for the psychological clinic and headed towards it.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?" Song Mu's secretary greeted Wang Sheng as he entered the psychological clinic.
"I'm Dr. Song's friend. I'll come over to have dinner with him after get off work." Wang Shen's skill in fabricating lies was truly exceptional.
"Oh? Is that so? But Dr. Song isn't in the office right now." The secretary looked at Wang Shen apologetically.
"How could that be?" Wang Shen feigned surprise. "I made plans with him to have dinner together today."
After hearing Wang Shen's words, the secretary chuckled. "It's probably because Dr. Song worked late last night and is too tired now."
"Working all night?" Wang Shen still deliberately feigned surprise as he looked at Song Mu's secretary.
"Yes, Dr. Song seems to have taken on a difficult patient recently, so he stayed up all night studying the patient's medical records." It was clear that the secretary admired Song Mu a lot. Her eyes were full of adoration when she mentioned Song Mu.
"How did you know Song Mu was working overtime all night last night?"
"Because I was there yesterday too." After saying this, the secretary's cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly.
"You stayed with him all night?" Wang Shen asked, his expression showing surprise again.
"You could say that. I left in the early hours of the morning and rested at home for a while." The secretary's blush deepened.
"He's still working just as hard as ever," Wang Shen said, feigning familiarity with Song Mu. However, a nagging doubt crept into Wang Shen's mind. If his secretary's words were true, then all his previous assumptions would be overturned. No, Wang Shen was certain through the surveillance footage that Song Mu had been to the crime scene. Where exactly did things go wrong? "Did you go into Song Mu's office last night?"
"Huh?" The secretary was clearly puzzled by Wang Shen's question. However, the secretary still shook his head.
