Not long after, the case made a major progress. A fish pond in the suburbs released water, and the villagers found a taxi in the pond, which was the one that Yu Xinliang drove before his death. After Lao Huang arrived, he asked someone to check the relevant information of the villagers in several villages around the pond. Not long after, a file attracted his attention.

On the day Yu Xinliang died, Lao Huang and Xiao Cui sent the wreath and stayed in the mourning hall. At two o'clock in the morning, a young man with fish eyes walked into the mourning hall and walked straight to Xiaoyu. At that time, Xiaoyu fell asleep on his knees. The mourning hall woke her up and called her out to speak.

The person in the file was the person named Xiaoyu that night, named Pi Wenhai, nicknamed Pi Tan, thirty-two years old, and had a record of stealing and imprisonment.

Lao Huang didn't know what Xiaoyu had to do with Pitu, so he planned to find an observation point in the building opposite the barber shop to secretly observe who Xiaoyu had contact with. When they came downstairs of the building, they saw an advertisement for rent on the telephone pole, which was on the first and second floors of the building opposite the street of the barber shop.

During the house viewing process, the landlord talked about the two previous tenants. Not only did they owed the house money, but they even left. He scolded the two tenants as scumbags, but they seduced the mute from the street and were having sex in the house every day.

Old Huang's eyes lit up, he immediately showed his work permit, showed his photo of his skin, and asked, "Is this person?" The landlord looked at it and nodded wildly. Old Huang immediately asked, "What does the other person look like?" The landlord was a little stunned: "Every time he paid the house, this person paid the other one, I have never seen."

After several days of observation, Lao Huang found that Xiaoyu had recently changed his personality. She went to sign language school to learn mute language and also went to other people's shops to do fashionable hairstyles. She had a bit of the temperament of a female knowledge. However, her face was filled with a strong melancholy and could not dissipate. Lao Huang could see that Xiaoyu should have fallen in love with a man, but now that the man is gone, she is so sad.

Many celebrities present were shocked by Zhang Jingchu's outstanding performance. Zhang Jingchu performed very well in the previous performance, which made people forget that she was Zhang Jingchu and felt that she was a real mute. The scene after Xiaoyu and Gangzha were even more surprising. Xiaoyu was still the same, but it gave people the feeling that she had changed her individuals, and the entire performance level was particularly clear.

The sense of layering is something that is difficult to grasp during performances. Tony Leung can be said to be one of the best actors in China, but his performance in "The Grandmaster" was a bit problematic. Ip Man did not open up the levels before and after Xiangjiang. When he was young, Ip Man and Ip Man who had experienced vicissitudes of life were exactly the same, and there was no big difference. Relatively speaking, Zhang Ziyi's second level of Gong Er should be clearer.

The actors present all had a feeling that Zhang Jingchu had completed the breakthrough and truly entered the ranks of top actors!

In order to talk from Xiaoyu, Lao Huang came up with a plan and found a friend Lao Fu who knew sign language, and went to Xiaoyu's shop together. After finishing his hair, the two of them left without panic and sat down to chat with Xiaoyu.

The old Fu looked at Xiaoyu and asked, "Is some friend leaving, so I can't be happy?"

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

Lao Fu advised: "Take out his photos, hang them on the wall, and take a few glances every day, so that you will feel better."

Xiaoyu looked a little dim and gestured, "No photos."

Old Fu Yiji said: "I have a friend who can make photos. As long as you have the appearance of this person in your head, he can draw the memories in your head into photos."

Xiaoyu nodded in excitement, feeling that he had met a great person.

The next day, Lao Huang and Lao Fu brought the portrait puzzle expert from the Municipal Bureau. According to Xiao Yu's description, the puzzle gradually took shape, and the face of the steel slag slowly appeared in front of him. When the puzzle was finally completed, Xiao Yu smiled. In her opinion, the avatar he had made was taken by the camera by taking the steel slag himself.

On the screen, the portrait of Steel Slag overlaps with Steel Slag's face, and through stacking, it brings time back to half a year ago. The third line of the movie unfolds, telling the whole story from the perspective of Steel Slag.

Opposite the street of the barber shop in Xiaoyu, there is an old brick house, and Steel Zha and Pi Tan rent it in a house on the second floor. Steel Zha sat upstairs, staring out the window, with a little confused look on his eyes, and behind the confusion is infinite loneliness.

At this moment, almost all the audience felt that whether it was Lao Huang, Xiao Yu, Gang Zha, or even the dead Yu Xinliang, their eyes were very lonely, and they were all lonely people.

The opposite street was Xiaoyu's barber shop. Gangzha sat in front of the window and kept seeing Xiaoyu shaking in front of him, so he slowly moved. One day he walked into Xiaoyu's shop and quickly got involved with her.

Steel Zha was originally a blaster, but because the mine was locked up, he went to the city to join his friend Pi Tan. He had a difficult life, but he couldn't let go and picked up rags like Pi Tan. After drinking, he said harsh words and said he wanted to steal the bank. Pi Tan was serious after hearing this and said he wanted to take action. Steel Zha was embarrassed to say that it was talking about alcohol. Told a few more times, and the matter of building bombs and robbing banks became clearer and clearer. From drinking words to concrete actions, Steel Zha really began to develop bombs.

One morning, Xiaoyu came over and had a relationship with Gangzha for a while, and told him that he would go out for a few days. After the divorce, the child he had given to his ex-husband was sick and asked for a lot of money. She didn't have much money on hand, so she had to send it all over. She also wanted to keep the child and take care of her for a few days. After all, it was the flesh that fell from her body, and the family affection could not be cut off after divorce.

In the few days after that, Gangzha did not see Xiaoyu opening a shop. He sat in front of the window and sighed from time to time at the barber shop across the street. He really wanted to have some money, Bangbang Xiaoyu, but he really had no money.

At this time, Pi Tan discussed with him that the bomb had not been done well, so it would be better to do something else first. Pi Tan suggested to grab a taxi. As long as you compare it with a knife, the taxi driver would honestly hand over the money.

Gangzha was about to get some money to help Xiaoyu, but he thought it was a good idea to grab a taxi, so he nodded and agreed.

That night, Gangzha and Pi stumbled on Yu Xinliang's taxi and robbed. Their faces were covered with beards just to avoid killing people. But after succeeding, Gangzha found that his hat was lost, probably fell out of the car window. He had several scars on his scalp and a cinnabar birthmark on the top of his forehead. Gangzha was worried that the mark on his scalp would be seen by Yu Xinliang and left clues for the police to solve the case, so he took a ruthless move and killed Yu Xinliang.

But Gangzha never dreamed that the thing was so coincidental that the person he killed was his lover's brother. When he was killing, he looked at the driver's face and could not connect it with Xiaoyu at all.

The audience was stunned when they saw this. The whole incident was even more tragic than they thought. Gangzha wanted to help Xiaoyu to grab a taxi, but he killed Xiaoyu's brother because of this. This was really sad!

Gangzha killed people, but the audience in front of the screen did not hate him at all, but was full of understanding and heartache. Especially at night, Gangzha went to the place where he stopped and asked Pi to trip in and bring Xiaoyu out. Under the street lights, he hugged Xiaoyu tightly, keeping it and saying "I'm sorry", the audience was very moved, and many female audiences were even wiping their tears.

A few days later, Gangzha saw Lao Huang and Xiao Cui coming upstairs with hats to look for Xiao Yu. He felt keenly that the police came for him and knew that he had to leave. That night, Gangzha pulled Xiao Yu into the rented house and went crazy on the bed. After the matter, he turned on the light and hugged Xiao Yu and placed it on the chair, saying, "I have something to deal with, and I must leave for a while."

Xiaoyu realized that the time for steel slag would not be short. If he had gone out for two or three days, he would not say it at all. But the difference between the two or three days before was enough to make Xiaoyu feel heart-wrenching. Her world was silent, especially empty, and she didn't want to leave the man in front of her for a day. Xiaoyu made a gesture and asked him anxiously: "To be honest, will you never come again in the future?"

Gangzha also had this kind of suspicion. After all, he was involved in a murder case. Who knows whether he could come back if he went there? But he didn't want to disappoint Xiao Yu, so he said, "It may take a long time, but he will definitely come back."

Xiaoyu felt that Gangzhao was a little insincere, a little collapsed, and choked, and asked, "When will you come back? Tell me the exact time."

Gangzha thought about it, made a decision, and gestured, "Spring Festival!" He saw Xiaoyu burst into tears and laughed, and gestured, "On that day, you dress up the store better, put pairs and hang lanterns, and prepare some firecrackers. I will definitely come back to see you!"

Steel slag and Pit moved to Nan'an District that night.

Zhang Yimou is not the kind of director who is particularly good at telling stories. Zhang Ran is generally recognized as having strong storytelling skills. Even a very simple story can be told in a wonderful way. At this point, Zhang Yimou admires Zhang Ran very much, and even a little envious. Now when he sees this here, he admires even more.

Shortly after the story begins, Xiao Yu, Gangzha and others appeared in the show, and even the story of Gangzha being a bomb was told. However, the novel can be written like this, but if the movie is shot like this, it will appear straightforward and lack suspense, and the whole story will be very plain. Therefore, Zhang Ran adjusted the structure of the entire story and changed it to a three-line narrative, like peeling an onion, peeling the story layer by layer.

The first line of the movie is to take Lao Huang as the clue, talking about the interaction between Lao Huang and Xiao Yu and Yu Xinliang; the second line takes Xiao Yu as the perspective, mainly talking about the love between Xiao Yu and Steel Slag, which leads to the key prop hat. Xiao Yu bought a hat for Steel Slag; and when Xin Liang was killed, Lao Huang found the hat; in this way, suspense came. As Lao Huang pursued the hat, the audience's emotions were constantly mobilized.

After Lao Huang and his team locked in the steel slag, the third line of the story unfolded. This line uses steel slag as a clue. While presenting the audience's interactions with Xiaoyu, the audience knew that the steel slag was still making bombs and was preparing to rob the bank. So, a new suspense immediately arises. Will they really rob the bank? Will they succeed?

As the three clues interweave, the plot gradually unfolds, telling an originally simple story very vividly and deeply. Moreover, these three lines bring out a series of characters, showing the deeper cultural content such as the society and interpersonal relationships behind it, giving the whole movie a strong practical significance.

In Zhang Yimou's view, there is another special thing about these three lines. From the perspective of Lao Huang, Xiaoyu is a simple and beautiful and enthusiastic girl, but after the second line comes out, everyone knows what the real Xiaoyu looks like; in Xiaoyu's view, Steel Zha is a gentle man who truly understands himself and is a gentle man; when the third line unfolds, the audience knows that they are making bombs and preparing to rob the bank. The characters in the movie, even friends, lovers, or even relatives, have one-sided understanding of each other.

Zhang Ran shows in this way that there is a lot of barriers between people, and it is difficult for you to truly understand others, and then it shows that human nature is lonely!

Zhang Yimou looked up at Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran reached a new level through this movie, which was a level he had tried hard to reach but never reached!
Chapter completed!
