And I basically don't assume he's always, 100% failsafe calculating correctly when he's trying to achieve A by doing B
No, of course not! And sometimes he gets it very wrong, like with the wedding disaster. But I don't think we can call his choices during the interrogation scene a miscalculation, since it doesn't actually go wrong?
What he'd have to gain ... I think part of it is testing the SID, and part of it is showing off to the audience (because he has to know ZYL is watching). Beyond that, I need to think about this more! There's a lot to unpack in that scene. But, hm, I'm not 100% sure that, having turned up in the middle of a crime scene like that, playing too innocent would actually be much safer/less suspicious ...
(On the third hand, that reminds me of something else - his behaviour during the mugging. He's perfectly willing to play along, at least until they go for his pendant, but he doesn't for a moment pretend he's scared. He draws some weird lines sometimes!)
