CHAPTER 92, EXCLUSIVE DEBUT -XXX

The last remaining smile on Martin's face suddenly disappeared.

He jerked his head up, strode back, and saw Eren sitting back in the chair in the cell, her body curled up slightly, her arms habitually hugging her, as delicate and pale as ever, as if even she would frown if she accidentally crushed an ant.

So from beginning to end, Martin easily believed that such an Allen could not have brutally killed or even divided the bishop.

But now, he faintly grasped a very bad premonition.

As if sensing Martin's gaze, Allen in the cell raised his head and cast a puzzled glance, and above his soft face, there was a purity that made people let their guard down.

"What did you just say?" Martin stared at Allen's face, a little incredulous and deeply disturbed, and asked: "You fainted in court, you said you lost your memory - so, how did you know that she had a neck injury?" "

Maybe she just accidentally overheard the prison guards talking?

Maybe she broke free from Joey's personality before she fainted?

Martin's mind was chaotic, and there seemed to be various voices in his ears all the time, and he just stared at Alan's face, not knowing whether he wanted to hear convincing reasons from the other party, or some kind of fact that he was most unwilling to face in his heart.

Eren smiled slightly.

Her slightly curved back line tightened and straightened little by little, and she stood up calmly from her position, a pair of slender arms naturally fell at her sides, and her clear and pure blue eyes met Martin's line of sight through the black iron bars.

"What do you think, Martin?" Allen pursed his red lips, "I didn't want to tell you right now, because you just looked... Emmm, happy? So I was like, well, for God's sake, just keep you in a good mood for a while. "

She stood like that in the iron bar, her beautiful big eyes looking at Martin with a smile, and the expression on her face was surprisingly familiar—it was Martin's calm conceit that manipulated everything between the palms of his hands every time he forced his opponent into a corner.

Martin's long-standing sense of superiority had long since disappeared, and he seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff, and ironically, just a minute ago, he thought that his road ahead was a smooth path illuminated by the holy light.

Alan shook her head exceptionally generously and compassionately, she was pleased by the look on Martin's face that was on the verge of breakage, and her voice was still so soft and pleasant.

"But that's not bad, you're smart." She tilted her head and continued to admire the expression that belonged to Martin in front of her with a light smile, "I've always wanted to tell you the truth, but I'm not sure, who do you want to hear more." Allan? Roy? Still—"

"Come on, let me tell you a secret, a secret that belongs only to lawyers and clients, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Whoever said it, the result is the same."

After speaking, Eren leaned closer, and the cold iron bar contrasted sharply with the girl's tender and fair face.

On the film screen, which has been magnified several times, transparent and bright light sources fall from behind her and above her head, so that the audience in the screening hall can clearly see the fine fluff on the edge of her cheek and her face that has escaped into half a shadow.

Her smile was still pure and sweet, even with an innocent childishness, like a child seeking praise for her excellent schoolwork, and the flower of cruel evil bloomed on her pure and immaculate face, forming a beauty and evil that chilled her spine.

Martin felt cold all over his body and whispered to Allen expressionlessly: "You are really powerful, you are really powerful." "

Eren pinched his chin gently, glanced upwards, and said in a sincere and slightly distressed tone: "No, in fact, it still took me a lot of thought. "

Martin took a deep breath and asked slowly, "So... There has never been anything Roy, right? "

"God, if you're just thinking that way so far, I'm really disappointed." Eren retreated to his original position and sat down, kicking his foot nonchalantly, "—never Allen, lawyer. "

Her voice seemed to be soft, but because the space was exceptionally empty and quiet, it reached Martin's ears very clearly, instantly stinging his nerves.

This made Martin feel deeply her mockery of him.

However, Allen suddenly changed his tone again, tilted his head to Martin and asked, "You look sad because you like Allen?" "

Her bite rules were clear, but the volume was controlled very lightly, with a little trembling breath, like some kind of frightened little animal, red-eyed cowardice.

So pitiful, so careful, and so kind and innocent.

But all this is nothing more than an illusion in disguise.

It is this face, as well as Martin's own conceit, that Allen easily makes him willingly fall into the trap and plot for her to exonerate, while she herself hides in the shadows to watch his wonderful performance.

It can be imagined that every time she acted like a frightened coward in front of him, I am afraid that her heart was laughing at him as a complete fool.

What's even more crushing is that, as she said, he really likes the non-existent "Alan".

And now, the real Allen tore off his disguise and looked at Martin with a mixture of teasing and curious eyes.

"Come on, now it's your turn to make a choice, Martin." Allen said, "Is it for your insignificant conscience to denounce me, or to do the good guys to the end so that I can escape the law?" "

Her tone was expectant, and there was a hint of subtle certainty, obviously anticipating Martin's choice.

Yes, everyone knows Martin's choice.

The profession of a lawyer never requires any superfluous sense of morality, it only needs victory after victory.

And as a well-known barrister in the industry, how could Martin gamble on the rest of his career - just to show his justice?

What's more, Martin not only did not have any evidence to prove Allen's lies all along, but it was the plan he personally drew up that convinced the prosecutor and judge in charge of the case that Allen's second personality committed the crime, and Allen himself was not guilty.

If he wants to retry Allen, it means that he will betray his client, overturn the work and efforts that he and his team have been working on, and face countless doubts in court and unprecedented professional crises.

Martin was speechless and couldn't help but close his eyes, like a frozen stone statue standing in place.

His belief that he had always been firm was rapidly collapsing, that human goodness was nothing more than a virtuous show, and he might never know why good people would do bad things, because the innocent good people he believed in were intentional crimes from beginning to end.

However, Ellen's voice still stubbornly came from her ears, her tone was light and lively, and even had a honey-like smile.

Allen dragged his tail, smiled at Martin, and said, "Wow, Martin, I'm looking forward to it so much - what would you choose?" "

The camera flashed at Allen's smiling face.

Her slightly raised eyebrows, clear upward lip line, conceited and calm bad smile, a pair of blue eyes under her thick eyelashes, but a few frames are unforgettable.

'What would you choose?' '

Martin's face sank like water, and he turned and strode away.

He walked out of the prison where the witch was held, through the empty courtroom, into the depressed streets of Chicago, and the camera looked down on his trajectory from above, making his originally tall and majestic body appear surprisingly small.

The cold wind shivered, rolling up a few fallen leaves and dust.

Belongs to Martin. Will's figure, so lonely and lonely, is full of spirit when he does not return.

The lens is up.

The Chicago sky is like a gray curtain, which has long been pressed on everyone's heart, and it is impossible to see the direction ahead.

Does Martin report Allen?

What did Martin investigate in Allen's hometown?

Did Martin end up being an accomplice to the devil?

Does Eren really not exist?

Is the last one who appears is Allen, who has been disguising himself, or Joey, the second personality who is anti-guest-oriented?

And, in reality, will the judicial system that advertises fairness and impartiality really be arbitrarily manipulated by some professional legal practitioners as in the movie?

No one knows the answer.

The lights in the screening hall are back on, and the audience after watching the movie is slowly withdrawing from the story, discussing the plot just now.

Kelly couldn't help but reach out and rub her forearm, and while walking out of the crowd, she said to Christine next to her: "Josie plays so well, evil and charming, I like this kind of villain with an abnormal brain too much." "

"This ending is a bit like 'Very Suspect'." Christine said, "Josie is good. But I don't understand the role of Richard, who at first seems to be a ruthless interest first, even if he uses his ex-girlfriend to win the case, but in the end, he seems to have too much sense of justice and is likely to report Allen. It makes me think his role is a bit fragmented. "

Kelly shrugged and said, "Maybe the conscience found out later?" I don't care. Anyway, my attention was focused on the character played by Josie, which made people feel very bored when she didn't appear, and finally Richard. The scene where Kiel goes back to find her is so wonderful, and Josie's state completely crushes everything. "

Crush everything?

Although the fan filter is a bit exaggerated, the final scene still surprised many people who came to watch the movie.

New York Times film critic Vincent . Campby sat in the restored screening hall, still playing Josie from the movie in his head. Horton's performance of the last act.

"She's really... Surprising miracle. He muttered.

From the light to the pure and immaculate feeling on her face, the way she tilted her head and kicked her feet, and her last sweet smile - she used the purest beauty to play the most evil witch and torture people's hearts.

The angry Joey can be played by many people, and the cowardly Allen is not super difficult, but the last Ellen, who faded his disguise and manipulated the case and all the audience, is the real Oscar-level performance.

The actor's personal temperament and the spiritual core of the character are integrated, and finally form a wonderful and scarce screen charm, that careless coolness and madness spread to every strand of her hair, forming a huge sense of alienation from the real world, even if she is smiling sweetly, she still looks lonely and cold.

She doesn't care if she will be punished by the law, she cares more about how this fun game will end.

She is more intoxicated with playing with people's hearts than being acquitted.

This not only makes Martin in the movie. Will was overwhelmed and also let Richard outside the movie. Kiel was defeated.

After the film's premiere, the main creative exchange atmosphere was warm, but this enthusiasm was dedicated to the final ending and Ellen, and the protagonist of the film, Martin. Will, or rather Richard who plays the male lead. Kiel, there is not much to do with it.

Josie, who attracted everyone's attention, stood on the stage and was talking about the final ending: "At that time, the screenwriter wrote a full thirteen pages of lines for this scene, but on the day of filming, we all thought it was too cumbersome, no... Then Mr. Tebrit decided to give us free rein to play. "

"Yes, it's risky." "But luckily, we have some talented actors. Josie played this scene very well, we only shot it once, there was no NG, it was amazing - of course, Richard did a very good job, the two of them collided with a very wonderful spark. "

Is it wonderful?

As another starring actor in this scene, Richard. Geir doesn't think so.

He smiled coldly in his heart, but also cooperated with this performance on the surface, and said: "Oh yes, to be honest, I didn't expect Josie to act like that, so my expression was very real, real shock..."
