And this world is full of people who think they are smart, so I want to write a little bit about it.

First of all, I must mention that Tony Gilroy is the screenwriter of the Bourne series. Anyone who has seen this series should know the rigor of the plot.

——The murder of Arthur faked the scene of the suicide. It was impossible to escape the forensic examination by simply injecting it with the toe without a pill in his stomach.
This is how I look at it. Professional enough to know that you can throw A's feet at will (because the blood is still flowing) before the injection, and you need to be careful to avoid the Verne combination of corpses after the injection. Of course, it is impossible to forget this. In fact, they stuffed something into mouth A when they entered the door, and they stuffed it directly into their throat to make A choke.

——Why kill Arthur instead of destroying the evidence directly.
Obviously, if the other party intends to attack, the copy of the evidence cannot be completely wiped out, just as the combination of MC and Verne later discovered. And A "suicide" can make everything a passing moment.

——Michael threw the watch into the burning car. There was no bones. It was impossible to fake the scene of his murder.
From discovering that Arthur might have been murdered, to when he was almost murdered, Michael thought when he ran down from the hill. Is it possible to defect to his brother? I think the answer is no doubt. Probably everyone who asked this question forgot that Michael’s brother is a policeman, and he was a man who had given him countless conveniences (from his angrily said you know what you want, it can be seen that there are a lot of criminal records), and even the crime scene seals It can be done. Finally, when Unorth was exposed, there were police directly involved in the operation. What is forged here is not the scene, but the news.

——How did the 229 file arrive in Arthur's hands? The
play explained that Arthur had obtained it by himself, but the details were not mentioned. The original story is that the boss of the law firm asked the female director how Arthur got it. The female director said that she wanted to ask the same question.

——MC, a bull who has to bend down for 3 years for a mere US$80,000.
In fact, MC will of course have a good income. Even if it is not as good as a lawyer, even if it is addicted to gambling, at least it will not have a headache for 80,000 dollars after quitting gambling for a year. The truth of this account is how much money the MC brother owes others. It is not mentioned in the film. We only know that MC sold the store where he invested his entire wealth. There is still a shortfall of 70,000, so this may be just a few words. One hundred thousand, even MC's brother helped others to sell drugs, the middle trade was out of stock, and the number was gone. The reason why the boss wants him to sign for another three years is also very clear. It is because MC knows too much inside information. In order to prevent him from being out of money and desperate, he stabbed the law, and temporarily appeased and contained it.

In the end, language is something we are awe-inspiring, and it is very stupid to use subtitles to evaluate movies in another language.

Finally, if you have watched Spy Game, you should recognize that the law firm staff heard that MC hung up the expression of Holy shit.
