Life as a police officer in America

Chapter 209 Who Did It?

Since this movie is about the western cowboy era, the props in the movie must have the taste of the cowboy era of the last century.

Guns are very important props.

The gun that Wang Dengming took from the heroine is the revolver gun that cowboys in the American West usually wear in the movie, which can fire six times in a row.

This bursting pistol is the famous Colt revolver.It is easy to carry and very simple to use. Anyone with a little training in shooting can quickly and skillfully use it.Cowboys are able to pass through Yang with a hundred steps and hit a hundred shots on a galloping horse. They are the most effective self-defense weapons to deal with the attacks of wild animals, robbers and Indians.

In a battle at Pedernales, 15 Texas Mounted Police equipped with such pistols beat more than 70 Comanche Indian warriors to pieces and routed them.Since then, the Colt revolver has become famous in the western frontier.Texas Mounted Police and cowboys figuratively called the Colt revolver a "six-shot gun."

The first thing to do when the pistol is brought over is of course to check the fingerprints.

Wang Dengming asked Archie to go to the county police station with a gun immediately, and check his fingerprints first.

At the same time, Wang Dengming looked at the prop gun again. It was almost the same as the real gun. It could fire bullets without warheads, making it more realistic for the actors to shoot with the gun. Moreover, the weight, color, and newness of the prop gun and the real gun were also different. Almost, if you don't pay attention, no one will notice.

The heroine is still in shock. Her shot, a sharp gun, hit the 'sheriff' in the heart, causing the 'sheriff' to stop immediately.

And this heroine plays a passionate and fearless cowgirl who wears a felt hat, riding boots, a dagger and a short gun on her waist. Because the cowgirl refuses to accept the "sheriff's" interrogation and harassment, she draws her gun and shoots.

In the plot, the heroine can't hit the 'sheriff'. The sheriff is the protagonist, and the two will have to date in the future.

Unexpectedly, the heroine really killed the hero.

"Miss Mi Luoye, please calm down."
The heroine Mi Luoye is a beautiful and sunny girl. Her long brown hair makes her look particularly sexy and elegant.

It's just that she is crying now, her eyes are red and her expression is sad.

"Officer, officer, I don't know it's a real gun, I don't know I don't know'
She sat on a stool made of steel and canvas, and began to speak, very pure English, with an accent like that of Chicago.

Wang Dengming was sitting opposite her, on 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 shoot."

Mi Luoye nodded desperately.

"Yesterday, did you shoot?"

"Done it, fired it, it's a prop gun, it's always been a prop gun, it's always been a fake gun, it's always been, no mistakes, never, officer."

"Always?"

"Yes, since the filming of this movie, all the prop guns have been used in the crew."

"How many prop guns does the crew have in total?"

"Six, Sheriff."

"Okay, think about the details, who gave you the gun in your hand?"

"Props man, Bob."

"Well, do these prop guns of yours have numbers?"

"No, Sheriff."

"When did he give you the gun?"

"About three hours ago."

"Have you checked?"

"No, I never check because it's all a prop gun."

"Okay, you call Bob in, and you can go to rest."

Bob, a short, tall hairline, half-bald young man walked into the tent.

He looked rather panicked. It was understandable that he was a prop master, and he kept the guns, distributed them to actors in need, and took them back after they were used up.

"Sheriff, I, I feel incredible."

As soon as Bob comes in, say.

"Why is it incredible?"

"Sheriff, these prop guns have never had any problems for more than a month since filming."

Wang Dengming was silent for a while, "You mean, all the guns were used when the crew was filming?"

"Of course, Sheriff, the gun that was handed over to Mi Luoye today, I loaded the prop bullets. The bullets have no warheads, and the front end is wrapped with iron sheet. When you put it into the prop gun and pull the trigger, it will only make a sound and white Smoke, for effect."

"The thing is, it's a real gun that's pretty much the same as the prop gun."

Bob's face became even paler, and he said, "Sheriff, I don't know what happened. When Nemijo fell down, I was completely stunned."

"Poor Nimijo."

The male protagonist is still quite handsome and young, so it is a bit wronged to be beaten to death so vaguely.

"Bob, don't be nervous. Mi Luoye said that the prop guns of the crew have always been normal. You tell me, apart from this accident, when was the last time the prop guns were used."

"Yesterday, that is, yesterday afternoon, all six prop guns of the production crew were used. No problem. Sheriff, you can ask the director."

"I will, about what time in the afternoon?"

"It looked like four o'clock in the afternoon. The actors each held a gun and they all fired. They all fired. No problem."

"Are you sure everyone with a gun shot?"

"I'm sure, every gun fired, we all had close-ups of it, and I saw the video clips of it yesterday."

"Okay, great, so when did you take back all the prop guns after the actors finished shooting the movie scenes?"

"It was yesterday afternoon, in the evening, around 06:30, I put the prop gun into the box."

"Is that box locked?"

"No, it's just a wooden box. It's not locked. It can be taken out with a lid. No one would be interested in playing with a prop gun."

"What about the bullets that don't have bullets?"

"In that box too."

Bob took Wang Dengming to another tent, pointed to a large wooden box and said, "Sheriff, everything is inside."

Wang Dengming opened the box and checked the bullets. He found that these bullets were all specially made, and they were still different from real bullets. He could tell at a glance that they were different from the shell casings left at the scene.

"Okay sir, don't worry, we will find out, but before the truth comes out, you can only stay in the crew, you can't go anywhere, I hope you abide by it."

"Sure, Sheriff, please hurry up and find that damned guy. Someone must have put the real gun in while I wasn't paying attention and took out the fake gun."

"Well, pretty 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 bold look, was smoking a cigarette when Wang Dengming found him, and his face looked quite depressed.

"Damn it, damn it, can this still be filmed?"

Before Wang Dengming asked, the director was complaining.

Wang Dengming looked at him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Police."

He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and asked Wang Dengming to sit down.

The director lives alone in a tent.

The amenities in his tent are the best, with beer, coffee, champagne and more.

"Would you like a can?"

The director held up the beer in his hand.

"Ok."

The director threw the beer over, Wang Dengming opened the beer can, took a sip and said, "How much did you invest in this film?"

"800 million dollars, Sheriff, are you interested in investing in the film and television industry?"

"I'm interested, but I have no money."

The director paid respects to Wang Dengming with a beer can, and said, "Mr. Police, everything was going well at first, and our movie would be a hit. I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen at a critical moment, you know? I also invested in this movie."

"How much did you invest?"

"100."

"You are a rich man, director, tell me, what do you think of this case?"

The director looked towards the entrance of the tent and said in a low voice, "I think Romano did this?"

"Who is Romano?"

"It's our set-up designer here."
