The reporter was introduced step by step by the description of the murderer’s story. According to the description, even with the answer to the content of the "book", all the facts proved that Longo was innocent and caused a lot of social effects, including readers’ sympathy and compassion for Longo. , Indignation and encouragement.
But in the end, the movie “Zhan Jin Jie Tie” unanimously shouted out—Guilty, it is estimated that many hesitant viewers will breathe a sigh of relief, almost deceived by him... But in fact, no matter what will happen to Longo, the protagonist Mike is already inextricably linked.
In fact, the "relationship" between the two is the biggest highlight and climax of this article. I am sorry that I cannot describe the delicate relationship between them. Give up!
