Hua used a fake bomb to successfully get into the roof slot, changed into the clothes of the Flying Tigers and walked out of the building, and got into a taxi, but he didn't realize that the driver was He Shangsheng. go. The bus that Hua was on was interrogated by the police, and he hugged the female passenger Liang Wanting (Meng Jiahui), pretending to be a couple, to get through the border.

He went to investigate alone at night, opened the electronic door of the financial company through the adhesion of the milk powder, and found that the screw belonged to the ventilation window on the ceiling. After climbing up, he found the camera, and Hua, who was watching outside, detonated the camera and alarmed the bald men. , why have to evacuate. Knowing that someone had installed a camera, the bald man asked his men to wait for him in the parking lot with gems. Hua used He Yin to drive away the men of the bald man.

The second time he asked Hua to go to the police station, Hua accelerated and installed it on the wall, He fainted to the ground, and Hua left with the gem box. Chief Inspector Huang Qifa (played by Xu Shaoxiong) found painkillers at the scene of the collision with the wall, and his attitude towards him was greatly changed because of his terminal cancer. The head of Interpol told him that Peter Zhang died in the Birmingham Hospital in England on October 13 last year. Tomorrow is exactly one year. Hua is Peter Zhang's son, and Hua disappeared after Peter Zhang died. When Hua was on the bus, he met Liang Wanting again. Coinciding with the police investigation, Liang Wanting took the initiative to ask Hua to sit next to each other, but found that it was the driver who ran the red light. Liang Wanting knew through the newspaper that Hua had robbed the bank, but she still took the initiative to communicate with him. Hua coughed up blood and left after saying that she had no time. Hua pretended to be Peter Zhang and asked the bald man to make a deal, asking for 20 million, and told He, so the police set up an ambush early. That day, Hua disguised himself as a woman and asked He to trade with the bald man with the gems. The bald man thought that Hua was He's girlfriend and asked Hua to get the money.

Hua took the opportunity to knock out a policeman and left. Hua was about to leave with gems and money, but He got into his car first, and took Hua to the police station for the third time. Hua Rang He saw the bomb in the car, why didn't he believe that he pressed the remote control, and the countdown started. He got out of the car and left, the countdown ended and the car started automatically, and Hua escaped smoothly. Later, He saw the news in the newspaper: The mysterious man donated 20 million cash to the Children's Cancer Fund in the name of He Shangsheng. He met Liang Wanting on the bus and found that the gem was hanging on Liang's neck. Liang said that it was given by a friend and it was very cheap. After the friend gave it away, it disappeared. "I don't think we will see each other again." "Not in this lifetime." "I am Chief Inspector Huang Qifa, and I will surrender within three minutes." "Sir, it's none of my business if you don't go up. Be responsible." "You have to be flexible in doing things." "You didn't say anything?" "You didn't say much." "Why do you talk so much?" "Don't you talk face-to-face?" "Can you send me to the police station, Even if you win." "Someone's in...someone's in...someone's in!!" "There are three people with three guns? What do you have? Ashtray!" "Found where you crashed the car. , I asked the doctor, and he said that this painkiller is for terminal cancer patients. It's a pity, so young. It's me who is wrong, always prejudiced against you. You are also really trying to contradict me. I can't do anything. It's the Chief Inspector, is it higher in rank than you?" "I often take western medicine and get angry." "I'm sorry." "So much information, what's the background?" "Director of Interpol." "Oh, you didn't say it sooner. MADAM, I'll send you." "Do you know what you look like these two days? With a tail, it's a police dog, You can go wherever I take you." "What are you doing, you know I'm outside!" "My morning urine is very yellow." "I'm sorry. It doesn't matter, it's angry, and my morning urine is also Very yellow." "How you die, it doesn't matter where you die. The most important thing is not to die in the police station." It was interesting to drive to the police station three times. Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun are in charge of wits, Xu Shaoxiong and Lin Xue are in charge of laughing, and the soundtrack in the film is quite good. For this reason, Andy Lau won the title of "Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards" for the first time in 2000. Personally, it is also the most flavorful film made by Andy Lau. I have watched the film many times, and it feels classic. The only thing I feel lacking is that the bald guy will be brought to justice for the case of the theft of gems from the finance company? It's a bit far-fetched, everyone knows that this is what Hua did.
