Chapter 209: Who Did It
Since this movie is a movie of the western cowboy era, the props in the movie must have the flavor of the cowboy era of the last century.
Guns are very important props.
The gun that Wang Dengming took from the heroine is that in the movie, cowboys in the American West generally wear a six-shot revolver that can fire continuously.
This repeating pistol is so portable and easy to use that anyone with even a modicum of training in shooting will be able to use it quickly and proficiently. Cowboys can still penetrate the sun and hit every shot on their galloping horses, and are the most effective self-defense weapons against wild beasts, robbers, and Indians.
This six-shot revolver is the famous Colt revolver.
In one battle in Pedernales, 15 Texan Mounties, armed with such pistols, beat more than 70 Comanche Indian warriors to the ground. Since then, the Colt revolver repeating pistol has become famous on the western frontier. The Texas Rangers and cowboys figuratively referred to the Colt revolver repeater as the "six-shot gun."
The first thing I did when I got the pistol, of course, was to check my fingerprints.
Wang Dengming asked Archie Rome to go to the county police station with a gun and check his fingerprints first.
At the same time, Wang Dengming looked at the prop gun again, which was almost exactly the same as the real gun, but the bullet without a bullet was fired, which made the actors more realistic when they shot with the gun, and the weight, color, new and old of the prop gun and the real gun were similar, if you didn't pay attention, no one could notice.
The heroine is still in shock, and her shot, the spear, hit the 'sheriff' in the heart, making the 'sheriff' stop immediately.
And this heroine plays a passionate and fearless cowgirl wearing a felt hat, riding boots, and a dagger and a short gun at her waist.
In the plot, the heroine can't hit the 'sheriff', the sheriff is the protagonist, and the two will have to drag it out in the future.
Unexpectedly, as a result, the heroine really killed the male protagonist.
"Miss Mi Luoye, please be quiet, quiet....'
The heroine Mi Luoye is a beautiful-looking, very sunny girl, and her long brown hair makes her look especially sexy and flowing.
It's just that she is crying now, her eyes are red, and her expression is sad.
"Officer, officer, I didn't know it was a real gun, I didn't know, I didn't know.....
She sat down on a stool made of steel and canvas and began to speak, English in a pure voice, with an accent like that of Chicago.
Wang Dengming sat opposite her, the same small stool.
There was no one around them, just in a tent.
"Miss Mi Luoye, I know very well that you don't know that the gun in your hand is a real gun, otherwise, you wouldn't have shot. ”
Mi Fallen Leaf nodded desperately.
"Did you shoot yesterday?"
"It's been opened, it's a prop gun, it's always been a prop fake gun, sir. ”
"All the time?"
"Yes, since the filming of this movie started, the crew used those prop guns. ”
"How many prop guns does the crew have?"
"Six, Sergeant. ”
"Okay, got it, you take a break first, think about it, the details, the gun in your hand, who gave it to you?"
"Prop master, Bob. ”
"Well, are these prop guns of yours numbered?"
"No, Sheriff. ”
"When did he give you the gun?"
"About three hours ago. ”
"Have you checked?"
"No, I never check because it's all prop guns. ”
"Okay, you call Bob in, you can rest. ”
Bob, a short man with a particularly high hairline, looked like a half-bald young man coming into the tent. His expression was quite panicked, understandably, he was a prop master, and the guns were kept by him, and they were distributed to actors in need, and after they were used, they were taken back.
"Sheriff, I, I feel incredible. ”
As soon as Bob came in, he said.
"Why is it incredible?"
"Sheriff, these prop guns, from filming to now, more than a month, there has never been a problem. ”
Wang Dengming was silent for a while, "You mean, all these guns were used when the crew was filming?"
"Of course, sheriff, the gun handed over to Mi Luoye today, when I handed it to her, the prop bullet is still loaded by me, the bullet has no bullet, the front end is wrapped in iron sheet, put it into the prop gun and pull the trigger, it will only make a sound and white smoke, which is used for effect. ”
"The problem is, it's a real gun that's about the same as a prop gun, and that gun looks like it's a long time ago, an antique gun. ”
Bob's face turned even paler, and he said, "Sheriff, I didn't know what was going on, and when Nimijo fell, I was all stunned." ”
"Poor Nimijo. ”
The actor is still quite handsome and young, and he was beaten to death by such an unclear figure, which is really a bit wronged.
"Bob, don't be nervous, Mi Luoye said, the crew's prop gun has always been normal, you tell me, except for this accident, when was the most recent prop gun used. ”
"Yesterday, that is, yesterday afternoon, the crew's six prop guns were used, no problem, this, sheriff, you can ask the director. ”
"I will, what time is it in the afternoon?"
"At four o'clock in the afternoon, the actors each had a gun, and they all fired, no problem. ”
"Are you sure the people with the guns have fired?"
"I, sure, every gun fired, we took a close-up of it, and I watched the editing of it yesterday. ”
"Okay, good, so, when did you get all the prop guns back after the actors finished filming the movie scenes?"
"It was yesterday afternoon, in the evening, at about half-past six, that I put the prop gun in the box. ”
"Is the box locked?"
"No, it's just a wooden box, no lock, there's a lid, you can take it out when you open it, and no one will play with prop guns with interest. ”
"What about those bullets that don't have warheads?"
"Also in that box. ”
Bob took Wang Dengming to another tent, pointed to a large wooden box, and said, "Sheriff, it's all inside." ”
Wang Dengming opened the box and checked the bullets, and he found that these bullets were all specially made, and there was still a difference between them and real bullets.
"Okay, sir, don't worry, we'll find out, but, until the truth comes out, you can only stay in the crew, and you can't go anywhere. ”
"Definitely, sheriff, please hurry up and find that damn guy, someone must have taken advantage of my lack of attention to put the real gun in it and take out the fake gun. ”
"Well, very good reasoning. ”
After Wang Dengming asked Bob, he began to ask the director of the crew.
Director Pierre, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a very bold look, when Wang Dengming found him, he was smoking a cigarette and his face looked quite depressed.
"What the hell, what the hell, can this still be filmed?"
Before Wang Dengming asked, the director was complaining.
Wang Dengming looked at him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Policeman. ”
He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and asked Wang Dengming to sit down, he was alone in a tent and a small tent.
The facilities in his tent were the best, as well as beer, coffee, champagne and much more.
"A can?"
The director held up the beer in his hand.
"Okay. ”
The director threw the beer over, and Wang Dengming then opened the beer can, took a sip, and said, "How much have you invested in this film?"
"Eight million dollars, sheriff, are you interested in investing in the film and television industry?"
"I'm interested, but I don't have the money. ”
The director saluted Wang Dengming with a beer can, and said: "Mr. Policeman, everything was going very smoothly, our movie would be a big hit, but I didn't expect that such a bad thing would happen at the moment of imprisonment, you know, I also invested in this movie." ”
"How much did you invest?"
"A million. ”
"You're a rich man, director, tell me, what do you think of this case?"
The director looked towards the entrance of the tent and lowered his voice: "I think, Romano did this?"
"Who is Romano?"
"It's our set designer here. ”
