Chapter 512 New Psychologist
When several detectives observed the green car.
The traffic police also found a lot of clues:
Although the red car was blown up, the license plate was still vaguely recognizable. After checking, the police learned the identity of the owner.
——The owner of the red car that died was named Hayami Hayabusa. He was a manager of a foreign trade company. His job was different from that of the green car driver who was a mechanic. At first glance, he indeed had little in common with the green car driver.
In addition, surveillance footage from the intersection was also retrieved.
From the bird's-eye view, the situation is exactly as the owner of the green car said: when the two cars approached the intersection, neither of them stopped or slowed down. After entering the intersection, the green car suddenly braked, and then the two cars collided directly with each other.
Jiang Xia was watching when his head suddenly felt heavy.
One hand came up and rubbed it twice as if nothing had happened. This time, Yumi Miyamoto didn't even make excuses like "there was some thread stuck on it". She moved closer to him and stared at the surveillance screen together: "Did you see anything, little detective?"
"..." Jiang Xia silently pushed her hand away, "Collision course phenomenon?"
"Yes! I think so too."
Yumi Miyamoto stood up and flipped through the previous records. "This place has always been nicknamed the 'horrible crossroads'. Similar accidents have happened here before. We even put up a sign saying 'accident-prone section' to remind drivers. Unfortunately, it's hard for high-speed vehicles to see the sign, and those who can see it are usually not driving fast, so they don't get into accidents... Alas, the effective use of funds is really a difficult problem. In my opinion, the warning signs should be changed to cool colored lights..."
The "collision heading phenomenon" has another name, "idyllic accident". It often occurs at intersections with good visibility and straight routes like today.
- When two vehicles are on paths that are at right angles to each other, approaching the intersection from approximately the same distance and at the same speed, the vehicle will be exactly 45° in front of the other driver.
For the human eye, the outer 36°-100° area belongs to the peripheral vision. Although this range can see the picture, it is difficult to identify stationary objects. So if drivers focus on the front and do not look left and right, then for them, another car approaching the intersection at the same speed and always keeping 45° in their field of vision will be like a piece of scenery that does not move.
When I reached the intersection, I suddenly realized that the "scenery" was actually a moving car. It was too late to stop.
…
When Jiang Xia and Miyamoto Yumi were discussing "accident-prone sections".
Next to him, the driver of the green car secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the key word "accident".
——Compared with planned murder, the punishment for a traffic accident where both parties are responsible is much lighter, and the reputation will be better than murder.
But no matter how much of an "accident" it was, someone died after all. At this time, a normal person should...
Che Gu Zhengsi raised his hands to cover his eyes, his face showing pain: "When I approached the intersection just now, I should have looked to the side more..."
Yumi Miyamoto glanced at him and felt that according to custom, she should comfort this remorseful person.
But she touched her chin warily, still remembering the sudden creepy feeling she felt as if she was being stared at when she walked next to Che Gu Zhengsi just now.
I couldn't help but put on my tinted glasses: "Indeed. According to the regulations, you should not only look around, but also stop and check at this intersection to make sure there are no cars before passing... The red car has priority, so it's barely understandable that he didn't slow down, but why didn't you slow down in advance?"
Kurutani Seiji: "...?"
Shouldn't I comfort him at this time?
He had rehearsed the "regret" scene for so long that he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself when he looked at himself in the mirror. What was wrong with this female traffic police officer? She looked so cute, but she was so cold-blooded when doing things...
But, no matter what, it's fine as long as it can be treated as an accident...
Kurumi Zhengsi sighed and continued to look sad.
At this moment, the mouse next to him clicked.
Jiang Xia moved the video forward a little bit. He looked at the surveillance screen carefully and suddenly said:
"Although this is an accident-prone area, I always feel that the red car's reaction is too slow. When you arrive at an intersection and suddenly see a car 'jumping out' from your blind spot, most people will instinctively step on the brakes. But the red car doesn't seem to have any similar reaction... And this place-"
He pressed pause, freezing the image just before the collision.
Then he pointed to the front window of the red car on the screen, as well as the hood and frame that were tilted at a certain angle:
"If you look closely, the moment it entered the surveillance footage, that is, when it was close to the intersection, these places suddenly became brighter for a moment, as if there was light shining on them. Considering the location of the light and the time of the incident... if someone hadn't come here with a searchlight in broad daylight, then this beam of light should be sunlight. Judging from the angle, it looks like a reflection of a roadside billboard - yes, the billboard that Mr. Kurumi happened to hit."
Conan, who secretly came to watch the surveillance video: "..."
As soon as I heard these words, I knew that Jiang Xia was going to fast forward...
Conan stared at the screen silently, then raised his hand and pressed on his glasses.
Two compression earplugs popped out from the temples and were inserted precisely into his ears.
——At Conan’s request, Dr. Agasa added some new features to the glasses to improve the crime-solving experience.
Although he pressed the button a little late just now and unfortunately heard part of the answer, in addition to the method of committing the crime, the motive is often also very important in an incident. He still has the "motive" that Jiangxia has not yet set foot on to solve...
However, even though the anti-spoiler mode was activated, Conan's thoughts still failed to return to solving the case immediately.
...Calculate the time it took Jiang Xia and Amuro Toru to arrive at the scene of the car accident. Compared to normal situations, Jiang Xia's speed in solving the case this time was actually much slower.
But compared to the previous state of severe distraction, it is obviously much better.
...The progress is too obvious. There must be a reason for the anomaly. What happened in the meantime?
Could it be that Jiang Xia really had secretly gone to see a psychiatrist without them knowing?
If this is the case, then is the doctor this time really reliable? Could he be another potential murderer who shot a police officer? Jiang Xia's physique that attracts scumbags is really hard to trust. And the probability of a psychologist having psychological problems seems to be quite high...
I really want to go and see what kind of person he is. But since Jiang Xia went to see a doctor without telling them, it means he doesn't want others to know. What if I follow him and take a peek, and Jiang Xia finds out, and Jiang Xia doesn't go for treatment, what should I do...
