Traffic Case - The Dirty Dishes and the Dangerous Curves

A beautiful woman is found slumped in a car. It seems to be an accident, but clues suggest someone else was at the scene. Our investigation brought us to the colorful bungalow of Dan Manson, the owner of the car full of dead lady. We questioned him about the evidence.

Okay, okay, I knew her. But it isn't what you think. She just asked to borrow the car.
