Chapter 14 013

From the scene of the accident on the Ogden Highway, three groups of tire marks can be identified: one is left by a car lying on its back under the embankment; Obviously, it should belong to the classic car below, but further verification is needed.Another group was left by the car that stopped suddenly after slamming on the brakes, and then turned around and drove up the hill. This group of tire marks remained on the layer of debris that the car had crushed.The original target of this car was the guardrail, but it changed midway. Officer Brisebois sits at his desk with photographs taken at the scene of the accident in front of him.He stared at the stained sweater on the victim's body, and the words echoed in his ears: "What kind of sweater was he wearing?" At this moment, a folder fell on the table with a loud clap. "They match." The young policeman who delivered the file said that she was from the Accident Reproduction Department, and she spoke quickly.

"Which ones?" he asked. "all." "all?" She nodded. "They're all from the same car, the victim's car, the old car." Brisebois leaned back in his chair, "but the tire tracks are not consistent, the upper tracks are at different angles than the lower tracks where the cars leave the road and go over the guardrail." "Even then, the tire prints are the same, from the same car, the same set of tires." The policewoman left after saying this.This sentence reveals a fact: the victim was not forced to leave the road, and no one chased him.At least, the accident was not caused by external factors.

Brisebois recalled what a policeman said at the scene of the accident, perhaps Kling, as they checked the path the car had taken as it crashed over the edge of the embankment, "He just missed the guardrail by a few inches." "Bad luck," said Brisebois. "Either it's bad luck, or good eyesight." Another policeman said.
