The first is that the protagonist takes the police to the house where he was kidnapped last night to confront him. Since the spy believes that he is an American intelligence agent, the US Intelligence Agency will definitely believe that he was kidnapped. Not necessary at all. After the train came down, he tricked him into going to the highway and used a plane to shoot him. Before that, there were so many opportunities on the train to not kill him and he had to send a plane to shoot him. I don't know why. Even if he is an American intelligence officer, his identity has been exposed, and all he should report to his superiors have already been reported. What is the use of killing him? Want to kill him persistently like a neurosis?
