The secret of the outsider, the private work of the insider

The robbers obviously went for documents and diamonds, which meant that they knew the identity of the banker from the beginning. What the banker desperately wanted to cover was actually no longer a secret, just because too many people’s dictionaries contained the word “tethered”. For people who are not in the film, we can guess from the glorious identities of the bankers their choice after knowing the secret. And the people who discovered the secret in the film chose the benefit without exception. The robber gave up the diamonds, but took away more valuable documents. Don’t think that he will only take the 2.5 million that Judy promised. He is not two hundred and five; Judy’s offer seems to be low, a check, but his son The guarantor's bargaining chip is a life insurance; the detective is not better than going there, he gets diamonds and Feihuang Tengda.

A money society, knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and is extremely efficient. Is this a perfect robbery? There are three gangsters in the hostages. Don't tell me that the police are too stupid to find out, cross-examination, polygraph... too many methods are available. Watching Judy and the mayor having dinner intimately, don’t you understand? There will never be perfect thefts in this world, nor will there be eternal secrets, but the secrets of outsiders, the private work of insiders.

Different characters are in this situation, and they will always be burdened with big rules to get their original wishes. Only 5% of life is more exciting, only 5% is more painful, and the other 90% are spent in the ordinary. And people are seduced by this 5% of wonderfulness, endure 5% of pain, and live in this 90% of plainness.
