Fridge Logic

  • In The Man Who Smiled, why did the murderer bother to stuff the stool he was sitting on in the Cold Open into the boot of the car he was just about to crash and make the death of its driver look like an accident? Wouldn't he think it would look suspicious that the victim would have a (broken - one chair leg was still outside in the dirt) stool in the boot? After all, it ended up being the only clue that led Wallander and his team to the actual cause of the crash. Also, why did he bring a stool to begin with? It seems the stool was just some kind of hastily written clue device to advance the plot.
