Chapter 31 Tunnel Entrance

"He was sitting in the back seat of the car and dozing off in a daze. When he was about to reach the entrance of the tunnel, he took a vague look: it seemed that he didn't see any vehicles at the entrance. Later, when he closed his eyes When I was about to continue to doze off, the car accident happened in an instant."

After a pause, Hattori Heiji finished speaking.

"However, he wasn't sure if he saw it clearly at the time. After all, he was in a sleepy state at the time, so the police didn't write this into the material in the end."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that there must be something wrong - if what the director saw was true, then similarly, before entering the tunnel, the driver did not see any vehicles at the entrance of the tunnel.

In this case, it is understandable that the driver did not slow down and turn the direction before entering the tunnel.But is this really possible?

Putting down the materials in his hand, Gao Yuan thought for a moment, and then said: "I still have to go to the scene to see."

"Hey? You want to see the scene? Then I'll contact Officer Otaki to take us there immediately."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji said excitedly.

"Don't be so anxious, it's not over now."

Seeing Hattori Heiji's performance, Gao Yuan quickly stopped him.

"I want to go there tomorrow. Wait until six o'clock tomorrow morning, which is about the time of the car accident. Let's go and see what we can see outside the tunnel entrance at that time."

"Huh? Does that mean you want the case to repeat itself?"

Hattori Heiji understood that.

"It's not that troublesome. Just look at the time period when the incident happened, and see if there were any other factors at the tunnel entrance that affected the driver's sight. After all, what the director said may be true."

Gao Yuan explained.

"Well, I'll ask Police Officer Otaki to pick you up at that time. Anyway, it's past six o'clock and it's not time for school, so I can go and have a look together."

Hattori Heiji said so, and then tonight's meeting ended first.

At around five o'clock the next morning, police officer Otaki drove Hattori Heiji in a police car to the hotel where Takato was staying, and they went to the place where the car accident happened.

I went out at five o'clock, and when I arrived at the accident site, it was already past six o'clock, and the sky gradually brightened from the hazy darkness. The police car with the lights on did not need to turn on the lights after driving halfway. up.

Arriving outside the tunnel entrance where the accident occurred, Police Officer Otaki parked the vehicle in the emergency lane aside, then got out of the car, and the three of them slowly approached the tunnel entrance from outside the expressway.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the vision of the road was very clear. The road at the entrance of the tunnel was two-way and two-lane.

"Look, the view of the lane is very clear. If there is a car at the entrance of the tunnel, the driver cannot see it."

Officer Otaki said.

"Indeed. Looking at it this way, if the accident was really a car rear-ending a large truck, the director's claim that there was no vehicle at the entrance of the tunnel would make no sense."

Hattori Heiji thought about it.

"Well, in fact, the traffic department has determined that the accident was caused by a car rear-ending a fully loaded truck based on the debris at the scene and the damage of the vehicle."

Officer Otaki said.

"Could it be that the car rear-ended a large truck in another place with poor visibility, but was transported here for some reason? After all, there are no brake marks of the car left here!"

Hattori Heiji mentioned a possibility.

"The director's remarks are even more unexplainable."

Gao Yuan said, "According to the director, before the car accident, he clearly saw the tunnel entrance, so the location can't be wrong."

"Then it's strange that he didn't see anything. After all, the view here is so good, it's impossible not to see the car at the entrance of the tunnel."

Hattori Heiji said.

"On the other hand, since the view here is so good, the director still didn't see a car at the entrance of the tunnel!"

When Gao Yuan said this, he showed a smile.

"Hey, detective brother, did you think of something?"

Seeing Takato's expression, Hattori Heiji was a little surprised.

"It's too early to say anything."

Gao Yuan didn't explain, turned to look at Police Officer Otaki, and asked, "Did the police find the driver who passed by here on the day of the accident?"

"It is true that several drivers have been found to inquire about the situation, but if they hadn't passed through the tunnel before the car accident before dawn, or passed through the tunnel after the car accident, they have not found the driver who happened to see the situation. And this There are not many vehicles on the road during this time period, except for some vehicles that will enter the city to deliver goods during this time period, there are very few other vehicles passing by."

Officer Otaki explained.

"That is to say, during that time period, some cars will pass through that tunnel?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"That's right, considering that it was a large truck that escaped in a car accident, the vehicles that would often pass by there to deliver goods have been investigated by the police, and the drivers of these vehicles have also been questioned, but none of them saw the accident happen. "

Officer Otaki replied.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is there any driver who used to drive this road frequently, but did not take this road on the day of the accident?"

"This, it seems there is."

Officer Otaki said in retrospect.

"What's the reason they didn't take this tunnel road that day?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Hey?"

Hearing this question, Officer Otaki didn't know how to answer for a moment, and then took out his cell phone.

"Let me ask specifically about this."

As he said that, Police Officer Otaki dialed the number and ran aside to make a call.

Hattori Heiji on the side fell into thinking after listening to the few questions Gao Yuan asked just now.

After a while, Officer Otaki came back from the phone call.

"I just asked my colleagues in the traffic department, and they said that because they were eyewitnesses to the car accident, they didn't ask in detail about the drivers who didn't take the tunnel that day, so they don't know why they didn't take the tunnel. road."

After listening to Officer Otaki's narration, Gao Yuan sighed, a little helpless.

"Then trouble the police to ask these drivers why they didn't take the tunnel road they used to take that day. This is very important!"

Gao Yuan suggested, so Officer Otaki immediately called and ordered the police to handle the matter.

At this time, almost an hour had passed since arriving here.

"It doesn't make sense to stay here now, let's go back first."

Gao Yuan said, it happened that Hattori Heiji had to go to school, so the three of them got in the car and left here.

In the car, Hattori Heiji was still thinking about it, and finally couldn't help asking Gao Yuan.

"Hey, detective brother, you already understand what's going on!"

"Well. I probably have some ideas."

Gao Yuan said, "If the results of the police's subsequent inquiries are consistent with what I expected, this is definitely a man-made car accident! A huge conspiracy!"
