"Sorry for being vigilant, I'm rude!"
Looking at the position on the criminal certificate, the middle-aged inspector saluted Tang Ze.
"You're welcome, this is not under my jurisdiction." Tang Ze waved his hand and said, "It's up to me to cooperate with you in investigating the case."
"I often hear your name mentioned by my colleagues at the police station. I didn't expect that this time I would be able to handle the case together with the famous Tangze Criminal. Please help us."
The female criminal didn't seem to care at all about who was leading the case. She looked at Tangze and introduced herself: "I am Michida Kamiko, affiliated with the Traffic Division."
After introducing himself, Michida Kamiko looked at Karasawa and asked, "So, it was Karasawa Criminal who first discovered this accident, right?"
"Well, my girlfriend and I were originally discussing rainbows, but we didn't expect to see black smoke rising from the sky."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "By the time I felt this, the red car was already on fire."
"The owner of the red car was Mr. Hayami Hayabusa, and the doctor had previously confirmed his death."
After Michida Kamiko looked at the driver's license of the deceased and finished telling the information, he looked at the man and said, "Mr. Kurutani, can you tell me the specific circumstances of the accident?"
"Okay, okay..."
Chetani nodded and recalled: "I remember that I drove to the intersection and was walking straight, but I don't know why I didn't see the red car approaching.
I was walking straight as normal, and then I noticed a red car suddenly appeared in my field of vision.
At that time, I quickly turned the steering wheel and applied the emergency brake, but my car still hit the side of the other party's car.
Then my car hit a billboard and I passed out."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ze and others looked at the billboard that the other party's car had hit, and the sign was completely dented.
Tang Ze took a closer look, but his eyes froze, and he found that the front part of the other person's car had a reinforced bumper.
"When you were about to pass by the intersection, didn't you slow down and take a look?" Michida Kamiko, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask after hearing what Kurutani said.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention at the time..." Kurutani Zhengji bowed.
"That's why such a serious traffic accident happened!" Michida Xunzi said angrily.
"Mr. Kurutani, I have some questions about your testimony."
After Tangze looked at the front of the car, he walked up to the two people talking and said, "You said that the other person's car suddenly appeared in your field of vision. Could this be the reason why you were sleepy and dozed off or had a lack of concentration?"
"Absolutely not, I just looked ahead and drove the car as usual!" Che Guzheng said anxiously: "But I really didn't see the other party's car coming!"
"How is this possible..." Ayako looked around and said in disbelief: "The center of this field is endless, without any obstruction.
Logically speaking, at an intersection with such a good view, the situation you mentioned shouldn't happen..."
"kindness..."
Daoda Xunzi on the side heard this and touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "I think maybe it's because of that reason..."
"Eh?" Ayako looked at Michida Kamiko curiously.
"Actually, traffic accidents often occur around here, and it is also a well-known accident-prone area in this area."
Michida Kamiko smiled helplessly: "This place is even called the "terrible crossroads" by the locals."
"Why is this happening?" Ayako couldn't help but asked.
"Perhaps it's because of the so-called "collision route" phenomenon." Michida Kamiko said with some uncertainty.
"What is that? That "collision route" phenomenon..." Ayako said in confusion.
"To put it simply, it is a phenomenon of visual blind spots."
Karasawa explained the specific principle of this phenomenon: "It is when two cars drive at right angles and approach the intersection at the same speed.
Because the front between the two is exactly at a 45-degree angle, the other car will always be in the visual blind spot of the two drivers."
"Eh? Why is this?" This was the first time Ayako heard this statement. Although it was novel, she also wanted to know the principle.
"Because human eyes are not so perfect."
After hearing this, Michida Kamiko explained: "Human vision can basically be divided into two parts: peripheral vision and central vision.
When people drive, their central field of vision will focus on the position directly in front of them.
Although people can also see the surrounding environment, because it is difficult to identify small moving objects in the peripheral vision, and their attention is also in the central vision, they find that when both parties discover the other party's car, there is basically no room for recovery.
.”
"So, this traffic accident is due to the "collision line" phenomenon?" Ayako said suddenly after understanding the principle.
"This should be the reason that led to this serious traffic accident." Michida Xunzi said after hearing this.
"How could this happen?"
After listening to Karasawa and the others explaining this principle, Kurutani Seiji covered his face in pain and choked with sobs: "I wish I had been more careful when I was driving..."
"You should go take a rest and calm down first."
Seeing the other party's crying appearance, Karasawa patted the other party's shoulder and asked the inspector behind Michida Kamiko to take him aside to rest.
After the other party left, Tang Ze checked the road conditions at the intersection again.
"Now it seems that Mr. Hayami Hayabusa didn't notice the cars at the intersection at all, and had no intention of braking at all." Karasawa looked at the traces of the road and said.
On the road at the scene, only the green car driven by Chegu Zhengshi had black tire marks on the road caused by the forced braking, but there were no traces on the road where the red car was driving.
"So Hayami Hayabusa-san didn't notice Kurutani-san's car at all."
After hearing this, Mitsuda Kamiko said: "So, maybe it was the phenomenon of "colliding routes" that led to this tragic traffic accident."
"But in such an open place, neither of them was aware of the other's car. Don't you think it's strange?"
When Karasawa heard that Michida Kamiko seemed to judge the accident as an accident, he asked rhetorically.
"But, now it seems that this is an accident." Michida Xunzi looked at Tang Ze with inquiry in his eyes: "Did you find anything about Tang Ze's crime?"
"There is no basis for this at the moment, but I think we still need to look up the previous actions of the two of them."
Tang Ze said: "After all, it involves human lives, so the investigation needs to be more rigorous."
"Although I think this should be a coincidence, since Tang Zejing warns you if you insist, then I am willing to abide by your opinion."
After hearing this, Michida Kamiko said: "I asked Mr. Kurutani where he went before the accident, and see if I can investigate his previous movements.
As for the deceased Mr. Hayami Hayabusa, more time may be needed to investigate..."
"If you call the camera closest to this section of the road, you should be able to roughly see the direction of the two people's movements." Tang Ze said, "Just do your best."
"I see."
Michida Kamiko nodded, but looking at the other party's expression, one could tell that the other party felt that even the investigation was in vain and there was no way to obtain any useful information.
However, unlike the pessimistic attitude held by the other party, Tang Ze felt that this investigation should yield some results.
Because he never thought the accident was an accident from the beginning.
This is especially true after looking at the cars produced by Chegu Seiko.
During the collision, the front of Kurutani Seiji's car with reinforced bumper hit the side of the deceased's car head-on. It was because of this that he was able to survive.
If it was really a "collision route" phenomenon, why could he apply the brakes at the end and then adopt the most perfect avoidance posture?
In accidents, both sides are usually injured, but in this serious accident, he was only slightly injured.
It can be said that his risk was minimized. If from another angle, the deceased's car hit his side, then it might be him lying there.
From Ke Xue's point of view, for people like Tang Ze and others with "detective (death) detective (god) physique", the murder cases they encounter in this life can basically be ruled out as accidents.
The reason why it is said to be "basic" is because when they encounter a real accident case, it is probably not that easy to determine that it is an accident.
Maybe you thought it was a homicide at first, but later on, after some investigation, you found out that it was an accident or suicide with a hidden agenda.
Fortunately, Tangze's position was higher than that of everyone present. Even though he was not in the jurisdiction, his opinions and prestige still made the person in charge accept his opinions.
However, the difficult investigation that he imagined did not happen. After asking Kurutani Seiji's route of action, Mitsuda Kamiko easily found the surveillance video from a nearby convenience store.
When Karasawa checked the surveillance, he discovered that not only Kurutani Seiji was in the video, but Hayami Hayabusa, another car owner, was also accidentally photographed.
According to the camera footage outside the convenience store, Karasawa and others clearly saw Hayami Hayabusa's red car leaving the parking space first, and then the green car leaving from the other direction.
"This time is a little too strange."
Tang Ze touched his chin and said in deep thought: "Look, the two cars that left the convenience at the same time obviously took different routes, but they crashed into each other at the same intersection a few minutes later. It's a bit too much of a coincidence."
The path that the two people took was in the shape of a "kou". One person took the "┌"-shaped path from above to the right, while the other person took the "┘"-shaped path from the right to up.
The two finally collided at the cross intersection in the upper right corner of the word "口".
It is true that starting at the same time and the road is symmetrical, theoretically it is indeed easy to cause a collision, but in reality there are still many factors to consider.
First of all, the two people need to drive at the same speed. If one person is going faster on the road and the other person is slower, they may be able to see the shadow of the other person's car.
Moreover, it is necessary for two cars to maintain the same speed at a constant speed and eventually collide at the same time. This is something that even the twins may not be able to do.
But that's what the two of them did.
"Jingjing, you think this is too deliberate, don't you?"
Michida Kamiko, who followed, looked at the scene in the video of two cars starting off at the same time, and indeed had a different opinion: "I think that maybe it is because the two cars started off at the same time that the "colliding route" phenomenon was caused.
After all, the departure time of the two people and the angle of the road are exactly in line with this principle."
"Well, let's first ask the convenience store clerk if he has any impression of these two people." Karasawa did not express any opinion on Michida Kamiko's words. Instead, he stood up and suggested.
Even though Michida Xunzi was a little helpless when he saw this, he could only follow Karasawa.
After Michida Kamiko showed the driver's license of the deceased to the clerk, the clerk nodded: "I have an impression of him, he came at about two o'clock.
Because there weren’t many people there at the time, his attitude was a bit strange, so I still had some impression of him.”
"Oh? I wonder what happened between you two?" Tang Ze asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Because that customer also came yesterday, I casually chatted with him on this topic while checking out."
The fat clerk scratched his head and said: "At that time, I said that I saw you driving that green car yesterday. Who knew he would be very angry after hearing that.
He said very loudly that it was the car of a man named Che Gu, and asked me not to make a mistake."
"How could...could it be that..."
After hearing the clerk's words, Mitsuda Kamiko looked horrified, and his expression kept changing.
Although she initially thought it was an accident, that was based on the fact that the two did not know each other.
If what the clerk said is true, and Hayami Hayabusa, the deceased, mentioned the survivor Seiji Kurutani, and mentioned it in a very unhappy manner, then this accident really needs to be examined carefully.
"Then I wonder if you know this man?"
After Mitsuda Kamiko realized the problem, his attitude became serious, and he quickly took out the driver's seat of Kurutani Seiji from his pocket and showed it to the clerk.
"This person looks like..."
The fat clerk stroked his glasses and looked carefully at the photo on his driver's license and thought: "When I was moving the goods, he and the man you just showed me had an argument in front of the convenience store."
"If this is the case, it means that the two of them know each other." Tang Ze raised the corner of his mouth: "And the two of them set off at the same time in the video, which should be their actions just after the quarrel."
In order to prove this point, Tang Ze and his wife turned around the surveillance camera at the gate and saw the scene where they were arguing.
Although the conversation between the two could not be heard, the excited body movements of Kurutani Seiji clearly showed that the two had a quarrel.
Mr. Hayami then drove and threw down a cigarette butt and left immediately.
Asking Michida Kamiko to copy the video and keep it as evidence for investigation, Karasawa walked out of the convenience store and came to the place where Hayami drove away just now.
He looked down and found a bitten cigarette butt with a "p" printed on it, and a smile appeared on his face.
