Chapter 405 Seeing Through the Accidental Disguise: The Physics of Ice Delay

The accident scene was a scene of busy activity and chaos.

Su Qingge also received the news and rushed over with the Major Crimes Unit.

When she saw Lin Chen's cold, emotionless face, her heart sank.

She walked to Lin Chen's side, wanting to say something comforting, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

A middle-aged man with a large belly, wearing a traffic police uniform, was reporting the situation to Su Qingge, holding a scene survey report.

"Team Leader Su, the preliminary investigation results are in."

"Based on the 30-meter-long skid marks on the ground, and the inspection of the vehicle's tires and steering system, it can be basically determined that this was a typical case of driver error caused by fatigue."

The traffic police captain pointed to the glaring brake mark and analyzed it logically.

"The driver was going too fast when entering the curve. After noticing the danger, he braked suddenly, but in his panic, he turned the steering wheel sharply, causing the vehicle to go out of control and eventually crash through the guardrail."

"No collision marks from a second vehicle were found at the scene, and there were no obstacles on the road."

"Sigh, what a pity, it was just a little bit short."

Li Mingyu, who happened to be assigned to the scene to help maintain order, immediately approached Lin Chen and Su Qingge as soon as he saw them, wanting to show off his skills.

He glanced at the wreckage of the truck below the cliff, which was almost swallowed by the waves, and forced a sympathetic expression on his face as he spoke to Lin Chen.

"Advisor Lin, please accept my condolences."

"These kinds of accidents are unpredictable. Driving a large truck is tough, and fatigue is inevitable..."

Before he could finish speaking, a chilling killing intent enveloped him completely.

"Shut your dog mouth!"

Lin Chen suddenly turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on Li Mingyu, the chill in them seeming to freeze one's soul.

He kicked Li Mingyu in the stomach, the force sending Li Mingyu flying three meters away. Li Mingyu curled up on the ground like a shrimp, unable to get up for a long time.

"If I ever hear the word 'accident' from your mouth again, I'll make sure you never utter it again for the rest of your life!"

The voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it was more piercing than the Siberian wind.

All the police officers present, including the traffic police captain, were startled by the terrifying aura that Lin Chen was exuding and instinctively took a step back.

Su Qingge opened her mouth, but ultimately did not stop her.

She knew that Lin Chen at this moment was a furious lion whose wrath had been touched, and any attempt to appease him could lead to even more terrible consequences.

Lin Chen ignored Li Mingyu, who was groaning on the ground.

His gaze swept across the entire accident scene, and he activated three skills simultaneously: [God-level Insight], [God-level Physics Mastery], and [God-level Mechanical Mastery]!

In an instant, the whole world changed in his eyes.

The flow of air, the influence of wind speed, the changes in the coefficient of friction of the ground, the fracture angle of the alloy guardrail, and even the trajectory of each flying fragment... all of these were transformed into a cold stream of data, flooding into his brain, which was comparable to a quantum computer.

His gaze finally settled on the badly mangled wreckage of a truck at the edge of the cliff.

Ignoring the gasps of those around him, he walked straight across the cordon to the edge of the cliff, then leaped onto the truck chassis secured by steel cables.

He crawled under the car, the whole space filled with the pungent smell of engine oil and diesel.

His gaze swept over the complex chassis structure, drive shaft, suspension system, and so on, inch by inch…

Finally, his gaze settled on a brake hose connected to the master cylinder.

It was a metal oil pipe that looked perfectly intact.

However, with his [God-level Insight] microscopic perspective, Lin Chen clearly saw a tiny rupture, no larger than a pinhead and no more than 0.1 millimeters in diameter, at a bend in the oil pipe!

This crack is extremely well hidden, and even with the most sophisticated instruments, it can easily be mistaken for normal metal fatigue wear and overlooked.

But a cruel, cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth.

He crawled out from under the car, jumped back to the ground, dusted off his hands, and slowly walked towards the traffic police captain, who was already pale with fright.

"You're saying this was an accident?"

Lin Chen's voice was calm, but beneath that calmness lay the terrifying energy of an impending volcanic eruption.

"I'm telling you, this is not an accident."

He pointed at the truck and said coldly.

"This was a meticulously planned, flawlessly executed murder!"

"What?"

Everyone present, including Su Qingge, showed expressions of shock.

Lin Chen glanced at them coldly and began his explanation that shattered everyone's worldview.

"The perpetrator punctured the brake line several hours earlier, creating a tiny crack that is extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye and conventional instruments."

"But in order to prevent the brakes from failing immediately and alerting my father, he used an extremely clever method."

"He used a specially made piece of dry ice mixed with a polymer solidifying agent to seal the crack from the outside!"

"Dry ice has a temperature of -78.5 degrees Celsius. It can not only instantly freeze the surrounding brake fluid, forming a temporary ice plug to prevent leaks, but it also sublimates continuously!"

A cold light, a mixture of intelligence and killing intent, flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

"Based on today's temperature, humidity, and the heat generated by the truck engine, I've calculated that this specially made dry ice will take exactly two hours to completely sublimate and disappear!"

"And the normal driving time from the warehouse where my father started to this section of the coastal highway, which is the most dangerous part with continuous downhill slopes and sharp bends, is exactly two hours!"

"As the truck approached this point, just as my father was about to brake and slow down to enter the curve, the dry ice completely sublimated, the ice plug melted, the pressure in the brake lines dropped instantly, and the brakes... completely failed!"

"That's why there's that seemingly normal, 30-meter-long skid mark on the ground!"

"That wasn't effective braking; it was just the desperate, agonizing screech of my father as he slammed on the brakes with all his might after discovering they had failed, locking the tires!"

"The killer was not only an expert in automotive mechanics, but also a master of physics and time calculations with an abnormal level of skill!"

Lin Chen's voice echoed on the empty cliff edge, each word striking the hearts of everyone present.

The entire accident scene was deathly silent.

The traffic police captain gaped, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and the survey report in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Li Mingyu huddled in the distance, his face pale with fear. He looked at Lin Chen as if he were looking at a demon who had walked out of hell.

Su Qingge's phoenix eyes were also filled with indescribable shock.

What seemed like a flawless traffic accident to everyone else was instantly dissected by Lin Chen into a meticulously planned and terrifying murder!
