Chapter 402 Tension Spreads
Little Frank knows that his plan is full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny. Why is Mr. Murphy not wearing handcuffs, why is he sitting in the passenger seat, why is he wearing sunglasses and... On crutches?
Blah blah blah.
There may even be more than this. From the perspective of professionals and different people, we may be able to find more loopholes. After a little thought, we will be able to reveal the truth and the truth will be revealed.
However, an outstanding magician has the ability to turn decay into magic. From the moment he inadvertently glanced at the Murphys outside the window to the moment he decided to use them to tell a lie, little Frank's brain began to work at high speed.
There were some real scenes and some added details, but this failed to convince Karl, at least not 100%. The FBI agents had been observing and sizing up, and it was only a matter of time before they discovered huge flaws.
Decision immediately!
Little Frank bypassed Carl, walked to the other side, and pushed open the window neatly.
First, distract the FBI agent.
Secondly, interrupt the FBI actor’s brain functioning.
Three times——
Be the first to win.
“Hey, Murphy.”
Little Frank shouted directly.
Murphy is walking towards the driver's seat. Little Frank doesn't know his name, but "last name" can never be wrong.
Sure enough, Murphy raised his head and waved to little Frank.
Little Frank continued to shout, with a little complaint.
"Call the LAPD again, I don't want anyone to walk into my crime scene."
After saying that, Frank Jr. lowered the curtain, blocking Murphy's reaction, and turned around to enter room, stalking out, away from the window.
If Murphy raised his voice in response, everything would be lost.
But Frank Jr. was betting——
Betting that Murphy didn’t know why, and that the FBI agent still didn’t relax his vigilance and pay attention to his actions at all times. His steps may be regarded as suspicion of escape, so naturally It can attract the other party to divert their attention and stop standing at the window to pay attention to Murphy's subsequent response.
Life hangs on a thread.
When Frank turned around, he could clearly notice the stiffness in the muscles of his shoulders and arms, and his walking posture could also be seen as a little awkward. His calm and collected expression finally showed when he turned his back to the FBI agent. A little panicked.
Ahem!
Little Frank coughed twice, cleared his throat, and walked towards the camera. But this time, he did not look directly at the camera, but slightly shifted his gaze.
This is a misalignment.
From the monitor screen, Anson is walking straight towards the camera, but in fact, it is not a straight line, but slightly offset to the inside; however, the camera can see Anson's cheek in the camera head-on. enlarge.
There is no panic or fear, but this time, the lines on the face are indeed slightly tense -
And, the eyes.
Anson glanced at the door.
Steven noticed that Anson walked towards the camera head-on, from medium shot to close-up to almost close-up. The processing of sight was clearly displayed on the screen. It would be strange not to notice.
It is just a visual processing, combined with details such as coughing, tight muscle lines, etc., the entire state is immediately conveyed through the screen.
He, considers running away.
If this set of actions still failed to deceive the FBI agent, he was already preparing to escape. The exit was right in front of him, and he would be able to escape before his eyes.
However, he didn't.
At this time, after a slight delay, Steven realized the purpose of the cough.
Of course, I am nervous. The scene just now was absolutely thrilling. It is a reasonable guess to use a cough to cover up my nervousness; but if little Frank's cough is to cover up Murphy's potential response, How about interfering with Carl's hearing to avoid falling short at the last minute?
Wow.
Steven's brain was in a panic - suddenly, Steven remembered the beginning of this scene, the sound of the toilet flushing in the bathroom. This was Frank's deliberate action to let Carl discover it, and it was also their action. Details discussed in advance.
But the next detail was not.
The unhurried and slow sound of the faucet running after the toilet is flushed shows little Frank's hand washing action. Use such details to further confirm the action of flushing the toilet, emphasizing that he was indeed using the bathroom just now, and Not a criminal suspect hiding inside.
Look, the thing is like this. Without these details, others will not be able to notice the abnormality immediately. They often need to calm down and think for a while before they can discover it; but with the presence of these details, they can create a coherent picture in the minds of others. Reasonable pictures are easier to believe subtly.
One step at a time, starting with the details, this is the fundamental reason why little Frank successfully concealed the truth in front of the FBI agents without changing his face.
Making a quick decision, Steven decided that after this sequence of shots was completed, he would reshoot a sound track of Murphy raising his voice to ask about the situation, so that this sound track would overlap with Little Frank's cough——
Maybe in the cinema , the audience simply cannot notice such details, but the audio-visual experience brought about by their presence or absence can create different feelings.
In front, there are some sounds and a look.
Now, one cough and one look.
Details abound in these performances, which makes the scene before us reasonable.
Steven's mind was filled with turmoil, but the scene in front of him only lasted a brief moment.
Little Frank glanced at the door.
But it was just a glance. His footsteps were still heading towards the dining table, not facing the door, and he refused to expose his flaws easily until the last moment.
In this short electric moment, the atmosphere in the whole room was tense to the extreme -
on the verge of breaking out.
The identity and atmosphere that had been painstakingly created before are about to fall apart. It can be clearly seen in the camera that little Frank is holding his breath.
Actually, it is only a short moment, but it is like the moment before the start of the 100-meter decisive race in the Olympic Games. The air condenses, the heart stops beating, and the tension is extreme.
Then.
After a pause, little Frank was already standing at the top of the fork in the road.
Karl’s voice came from behind.
"I didn't expect the Intelligence Bureau to be involved."
He believed it.
Finally.
Little Frank's footsteps paused for a moment, turning left to the right-hand fateful fork in the road, and finally left, heading towards the dining table.
Even though the escape exit was close at hand, he couldn't use it after all.
In one step, little Frank came to the door of the dining table, picked up the water glass, poured a glass, and poured it down his throat. However, he needed to be distracted and restrain himself, not to appear too eager or embarrassed. The extremely tight string in his brain was slightly loosened. I felt relaxed, but I didn't dare to relax completely.
“Don’t worry.”
This is to forgive the other party’s vigilance and caution, and then carefully launch a counterattack.
"What's your name?"
The FBI agent has completely let down his guard and even put away his gun.
"Hanratty, Carl Hanratty."
The nerves finally relaxed, so what's the next step?
The cold water flowed down his throat and moistened his lungs, and his burning brain calmed down. Although he wanted to leave now, impatience and anxiety were taboos.
So, putting down the water glass, little Frank straightened his back slightly, turned to look at Karl, tilted his head, and his eyes fell on Karl lightly, looking at him roughly.
“Sorry, can I see your ID?”
Things have turned, and the situation has reversed.
On the last day of the double monthly pass, Qimao shouted: Please give me a monthly pass!
