Chapter 152
He put his hand in his pocket and walked lazily on the sidewalk. She lowered her head and carefully followed him, looking up from time to time, and glanced at his back with a cozy look.
Andy finally couldn\'t help but turn around which scared the girl.
"What are you doing here?"
"I... I live here." She explained in a panic like a little girl who was caught doing a bad thing.
Andy watched the girl pull out the key to open a security door, then turned and prepared to leave, but she reacted, shouted and chased after him, and put the pair of sunglasses back into Andy\'s hands.
Nicole didn\'t know that this scene was copied by Eric from his own mind, so when she saw this scene she involuntarily turned her thoughts to herself and Eric. He seemed to take such an attitude for himself, but he was overbearing and it also made her alienated.
After the high intensity of the first scenes, the plot of the movie once again entered a gentle period.
In the police station, Shane chattered with his colleagues about his doubts. Ian carefully looked at Shane\'s enthusiasm and thought about his mediocrity. He felt that his position might be threatened, so he had previosuly decided in favour of the use of an elementary school students\' deadly magic weapon - complaints. However, it was blocked by the superior who had a good relationship with Shane, so he could only go forward and look for trouble for Shane.
He was looking to put him down, but it made Shane realise the key to the matter.
At the unintentional prompt of Ian, Shane hammered the table: "Stupid, I am so stupid, I forgot the most important clue, the finance company, hey, we should check it out..."
Ian as such was more depressed, and could do nothing but words to run his mouth against Shane to the logistics director: "Ah how can such good people can quickly change in a flash."
Shane\'s investigation was weak as he went alone did not get the cooperation of anyone. The manager of the financial company felt guilt in his heart, but such villains who were alert to the police and others were unwilling to cooperate. Shane could only return to the office again, and then received a report of a trail that Andy had left.
At night, after deceiving the old man at the front desk, Shane successfully entered the building where the finance company was located, and used the baby powder to discover the key combination to open the lock and enter the finance company. The second confrontation with Andy started.
The rapid footsteps on the stairs, the alarms of the security door, the roar of the car engine, the fierce friction between the tires and the ground, and the fierce gun battles each lasted for a few minutes, combined with an intense percussion, the action lasted for more than 20 minutes. Without an extra scenes, this entire process gripped the audience\'s eyes.
Finally, after getting rid of the villainous third parties, their car was driving in a quiet street in the Los Angeles night.
"Hah, this situation seems to have turned around. This time the gun is in my hand. Do you know where the police station is?" Shane raised his eyebrows and with a pistol patted Andy\'s shoulder. His expression was smug.
Andy smiled and sighed with ungratefulness, and said: "Old rules, at the police station, you win."
The car suddenly accelerated.
At the same time, the hearts of the audience that had just relaxed once again hastened, and everyone was curious about how Andy would escape again.
With the screams of many girls in the auditorium, Andy stepped on the gas pedal and did not hesitate to hit a concrete fence at the roadside.
Bang -
Broken windshield, the airbags stuck, Shane was shaken and sprawled across back seat, and in the corner of the scene, since the car windshield cracked, a small pill bottle of Andy\'s next to the window popped out and bounced on the concrete road a few times.
The scene slowly faded with the crisp sound of the pill bottle and the concrete, and then fell into darkness.
-
Here, Eric made a big change to the original version, and removed the act in which the two men tangled and grabbed for gem box. Eric thought that this scene was completely superfluous, and it didn’t make much sense. It also affected the movie\'s rhythm. If the original 20-minute fierce confrontation gives people the feeling of eating a bowl of spicy hot noodle soup with a sweaty sweat, the act where they grab the box is more like after a last mix from the chopsticks, picking out half a caterpillar from the noodle soup.
Eric thought about it, and only thought that the purpose of this shot was to let Andy lose the small bottle containing the terminal cancer painkiller to cause Ian\'s misunderstanding. So Eric only used a small bottle popping out of the windshield, cleanly and cleverly hiding this clue.
-
He don\'t know how long he struggled in the darkness. Shane suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was in the hospital ward. After the doctor\'s introduction, Shane knew that he had no serious problems, threw on his suit and hung his tie loosely at his neck before going out of the ward.
Ian’s face was heavily vexed after seeing Shane\'s appearance, and the two started a farfetched comedic conversation.
"Hey, don\'t lie to me any more."
Sane argued: "It\'s like this. I met a friend dinner, and on the way..."
Ian interrupted Shane\'s drivelling nonsense: "We found your car covered with bullet holes."
"Someone are looking for revenge, I can\'t help it. Our police always have a lot of enemies."
"You\'re still lying to me," Ian excitedly turned Shane, pulled him aside and raised the small pill bottle in his hand: "What is this, it was found in the place where you lost the car, I asked the doctor, and he said that the painkiller is for the terminal cancer patients."
Shane was inspired, he seemed to understand something and looked at the wall pensively .
Ian placed his hands on Shane\'s shoulders: "Oh, what a pity, you\'re so young."
Shane raised his eyebrows and they looked at each other, but Ian continued. "I was wrong, I have always been biased against you." But you are also wrong, why do you always contradict me, I am the director, and older than you."
Shane quickly understood that Ian had misunderstood the incident, but he decided to stretch the truth and not retort. This seemed to be a good thing to misunderstand for his somewhat narrow minded boss.
As for the future, it may be cleared up... the future will be kept for the future.
Thinking of this, Shane slammed the table and lifted the small medicine bottle: "It\'s Western medicine, the effect is fierce."
Ian once again grabbed Shane\'s shoulder and said sorry for his previously narrow minded behaviour. Shane was a little embarrassed.
Luckily, Sigourney Weaver’s, cameoing as an Interpol executive, appeared, and Shane got out of his embarrassing situation. Through Andy\'s information, Shane understood the meaning the number 13 which a stranger had left him with on a coaster previously.
On May 13th, in a small restaurant.
After some verbal confrontation, Shane agreed to cooperate with Andy’s plan to arrest the villainous parties\' leader.
In a bowling alley, when Cruise appeared in a pretty women\'s dress, not only was Shane scared in the scene, but the theatre also broke out into sounds of surprise from the audience.
When a bowling ball was shattered and the financial company’s stolen diamonds were scattered all over the place, the big villains who had always been untouchable were finally arrested. According to the clues that Eric had previously buried, as long as the big villain could be brought into the police station, then Interpol will cooperate to provide a series of evidence, and the other party would not get to go out of the door again in this life.
In the chaos, Shane found that Andy disappeared into the crowd, so he quickly chased him out.
In the parking lot, a helpless Andy took the initiative to get in his own car, because this time, not only was the gun in the hands of Shane, but also the steering wheel in the hands of the other party.
The Lamborghini with a custom hood rushed through the streets, followed by a large string of police cars.
"Has it begun?" After several police blockades, Shane asked.
Andy leaned his head against the back of the chair: "I have done everything"
"But I haven\'t it. If I can\'t send you to the police station, I will be a little sorry in my life."
"If you have regrets, you will remember me." Andy tone was full of teasing for Shane.
Shane was silent for a moment: "Rest assured, I will not forget you."
Andy shook his head with a smile, coughed a few times, blood poured out of his mouth, and sprayed onto the windshield.
Shane\'s hand that was holding the steering wheel tightened, and Andy said sorry, opened a black cloth covering a bomb and took out the remote control.
Shane glanced at him: "Is this a trick again?"
"If don\'t believe why don\'t you try it."
Shane raised his hand and pressed the remote. A light blinked and the bomb started counting down from a minute.
"That timer isn\'t real?"
Andy smiled. "As you said, when you die, it doesn\'t matter where you die. The key is not to die in the hands of the police."
Shane passed the information of the bomb to the pursuers through a walkie-talkie, then stepped on the gas pedal, and quickly passed through the last police blockade, and left the sports car in the last ten seconds of countdown.
Although the two only met each other a few days prior, Shane had fully understood Andy\'s style of acting, and he did not believe that the bomb was real. Therefore, making such a deliberate release of a criminal is a great pressure on his professional ethics.
So when he got out of the car, Shane\'s face was a bit heavy, but gradually, he seemed to figure out what he was doing, and his mouth gradually smiled and walked easily toward his colleagues.
After doing things, he was always very hungry, so it was time to find something to eat.
He didn\'t know if the small restaurants were closed. After he thought so, he waved his hand to Ian who was complaining at him and left.
To no one\'s surprise, once the countdown was over, the Lamborghini\'s engine was automatically turned on, and Andy escaped smoothly again.
A few weeks later, in a small restaurant, Shane widened his eyes when he saw a message in the corner of a newspaper. Someone donated a large sum of money to the Children’s Cancer Foundation in his own name. So he swallowed food and the corners of his lips turned upwards. He smiled and seemed to want to laugh, but he couldn’t laugh.
Holding a bucket of popcorn and grasping a newspaper as he walked through the bustling crowd, Shane unexpectedly happened upon a bus.
After sitting down, he glimpsed a familiar object in his vision.
"Miss, your necklace is very beautiful, where did you buy it?" Shane couldn\'t help but ask.
Yoyo held it and looked at it and with a faint smile on her face said: "A friend sent it, it\'s very cheap."
"Boyfriend?"
Yoyo hesitated, and didn\'t answer the question, but just said faintly: "I haven\'t seen him for a long time. After he gave it to me, he\'s never appeared again.”
Shane turned back sullenly: “Keep it well, although it’s fake, it\'s a very good fake. Maybe he will appear in front of you again someday and scare you."
Yoyo smiled, but didn\'t answer again, her eyes turned to the window.
Soon, the girl got out of the bus. During the transitioning scene, the expressions of Shaun and Yoyo appeared through the camera.
Putting a popcorn into his mouth, Shane remembered Andy again.
Dude, all this is your scam. It’s a fake pistol, a fake bomb, your illness is fake, just to defraud my sympathy and make me let you go.
I don\'t mind if you hide in the corner and laugh at my stupidity, really!
As he finally thought so, his face was blank.
As if some kind of inheritance. Originally the soundtrack that only played as Andy entered a scene, appeared again when Yoyo walked down the street with the jewel.
Like some kind of reincarnation.
Faintly recognisable, mysterious, but distant...
