memories of bar dancers

Interview video from 60 years ago

……

In the dim light, the camera zoomed in, and the dancer lowered her head to smoke a cigarette, "What do you want to ask?"

"Do you know this person?"

The dancer glanced at the photo, "Hey, isn't this the latest starlet who is so red that it turns black?"

"anything else?"

"What do you want me to say," the dancer smiled charmingly, leaning forward with her weak and boneless body, "Did he whore me, or I whore him, drinking and drugging to take pornographic photos, no matter what material you want, the price is easy to negotiate ..."

"Remember the huge money laundering scandal two years ago?"

"I can't forget, the $33 billion money laundering case, tsk tsk, I have never seen so much money in my life, and the senior official who was dismissed was the head of the DEA"

"Then think about this photo again, does it look familiar?"

"Don't lie to me, how could a little star be involved in such a big case, who would believe it!" The dancer took a puff of cigarette, "He did stay in the bar for a while, but I don't know him well, I don't know his history."

"Compared to others, how is he different?"

"If it's different," the dancer said after thinking about it seriously, "he's very good-looking, even better than everyone else."

"……anything else?"

"Also? What's more, he is very addicted to cigarettes." The cigarette in the dancer's hand stopped, "and seeing how hard he is smoking, I reckon that he has taken drugs—don't believe it, I’ve seen this kind of person a lot, and I can tell at a glance whether they’re taking drugs or not.”

"Who has he been in contact with during the time he was in the bar?"

"That's too much."

"Too much?"

"Well, he is so good-looking, I don't know how many people have struck up a conversation with him," the dancer continued to smoke and recalled with a smile, "every night, he sits at the bar and mixes drinks for the guests. A cigarette, the moves are so handsome, every time you mix a drink, you can play new tricks, especially when you laugh, it can kill all men, women and children, and the screams can lift the roof off..."

"What about him during the day?"

"I'm basically in the house during the day, I like to hold a computer, I guess it's for playing games."

"play games?"

"At this age, you can play the keyboard very fast, don't you just like playing games in the dark?"

"Have you seen him play games with your own eyes?"

"That's not it."

"Have you had any close contact with him?"

"I borrowed fire from him, does that count?"

"Did anyone in particular come to see him?"

"No."

"Recall carefully, what is suspicious about him?"

"Actually, I think he is a person." The dancer pinched her cigarette and pointed to her forehead, "There is something wrong here."

"What do you mean?"

"He told others that he escaped from his home, that someone had been looking for him, but he didn't want to be found, and he also asked others not to tell others that he was hiding here. Until one day, he told me—— He met a man today and wanted to take him back, but he refused to go back. The man was afraid that he would not have enough to eat, so he gave him money, and he put the money on the table while talking. But he didn't know, he I saw it when I was withdrawing the money."

Memories of Foundation Director Cecelia

Interview video from 60 years ago

……

"How long have you known Truman?"

"Almost ten years."

"Who proposed the establishment of a charitable foundation?"

"He brought it up, he said he wanted to do something"

"Do something? Isn't it using the foundation to launder money?"

"In the beginning, the starting capital was 32 billion U.S. dollars. But the money later was all legal. The hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars in the Quantum Hedge Fund were all born out of money."

"The money comes too fast, it's not normal."

"He was born to play finance. There is a word in Chinese called Guicai. I think it refers to Truman. For such a person, there is nothing abnormal."

"What did you do with the Foundation?"

"The foundation was created to change the world. If the foundation is used to launder money, someone will definitely find out. The accounts of the charitable foundation are completely transparent, and every sum of money falls on the ground. The money earned by the quantum hedge fund is also It went to the sub-fund for charity. You know all of this, don’t you?”

"Having earned so much money, how much did he spend on himself?"

"Very little, except for buying a courtyard house."

"He bought a courtyard house?"

"Well, the owner of the courtyard house is an old man who suffers from dementia. He also left the property rights of the Nanfang house to Truman in his will, but the entire property rights of the courtyard house have actually been in the hands of his children long ago. They cheated He signed the contract and rented out the house in the north house, and later left the country. The old man didn’t know about it. He thought that only the house in the south house belonged to him. Later, when the old man died, when his children returned to China, they took the The lock on the gate of the courtyard was changed, and Truman bought the courtyard from them at three times the price.”

Qu Su's memories

Interview video from 60 years ago

……

"Who is your biological father?"

"His name is Qu Bofu."

"Have you seen him?"

"No."

"Not once?"

"Ah."

"Do you remember your father, I mean your adoptive father?"

"remember."

"Is Truman treating him well?"

"very good."

"Did Truman ever scold him when he was addicted to drugs or had a bad temper?"

"No."

"Not once?"

"Not once, he was reluctant. In front of his father, Truman was reluctant to say even a serious word. No matter how bad-tempered he was towards others, he would not lose his temper with his father. He would not get angry when his father teased him. Yes, he will blush. As long as his father is around, he will never see other people in his eyes. As long as he sees his father, even if he feels uncomfortable, he will smile, and he will laugh very happily, from the heart, which is the same as the present Laughing is different."

"Why is it different from now?"

"Seeing him smile now makes me feel very sad"

"Your father was hospitalized with a knife wound in the abdomen. Was it Truman's injury?"

"No, it's the father himself. Truman's drug addiction occurred and he wanted to injure himself. It was his father who used his hand to hold a knife and hurt himself. My father said that if he hurt himself, my father would feel more pain than now."

"Truman likes your father?"

"Ah."

"How did you know?"

"I saw it."

"See what?"

"I saw him and secretly kissed my father"

"When?"

"New Year's Eve"

"Does your father know?"

"know."

"Is your father pretending not to know?"

"No, they kissed together. Father couldn't bear to reject Truman, and he liked him too. That night, there were fireworks in the sky, and they were together and kissed for a long time."

"Are they together?"

"do not know."

"and after?"

"Later, Truman got rid of his drug addiction, and his father went on a mission for the first time after his reinstatement, and he never came back after that—I knew he was dead."

"How did you know?"

"One time Truman came back and planted a lot of white thatch in the yard. I heard him say, 'I planted so much white thatch, why are people still dead? I left a potted plant. He didn't know I was there. The next day he said to me, 'Your father came back yesterday, and he left you a letter. He said he was on a mission and asked me to come back to see you often. , he knew that I often forgot my keys, so he planted a pot of white thatch with his own hands, and put the keys in the potted plants.'”

"Did you read that letter?"

"Looked."

"Is the letter fake?"

"The letter was written by Truman imitating his father's handwriting."

"Truman's handwriting is very similar to your father's?"

"His calligraphy was taught by his father. The same goes for calligraphy, and the couplets in the courtyard were also written by Truman, but he said that the couplets were written by his father when he came back."

"You want to say that there is a problem with his memory, but is it possible that there is a problem with your memory? After all, you are so young, it's normal that you can't remember clearly."

"I do not know."

"do not know?"

"Sometimes, I also wonder if there is something wrong with my memory."

"Why did he bring you on the show"

"He said he wanted me to watch him and see what he did"

"Looking at him?"

"I think, in fact, he wants me to remember."

"Remember what?"

"Remember what he did, remember what he said, remember some things he deliberately forgot, memories of him and his father"

"Why did he forget these memories on purpose?"

"do not know"

"Then what does he want to do?"

"He wanted to change the world."

"Why? Because he doesn't like this world?"

"He really doesn't like this world, but he likes his father. My father said before that a soldier is to protect the world before death, and protect the goodness in every ordinary person's heart. Truman said that the world must become better to be worthy of his father's Use your life to protect, so this world must change."

Weng Yuanzhi's memories

Interview with the director 12 years ago

……

"Why do you say Weng Ru was wronged?"

"He is my father. Although our relationship is not good, I know that although he is greedy for power and has done many dirty things that officials would do, he is not greedy for money, and our family is not Lack of money."

"But 33 billion US dollars is not a small amount."

"Do you know how much the last 33 billion US dollars was recovered?"

"How many?"

"Only one hundred million."

"What about the remaining 32 billion?"

"The money was laundered and flowed into the Quantum Fund."

"You've been investigating Truman?"

"Correct."

"What did you find?"

"a lot of."

"What's his motive? Why would he do this? He's not like someone who robs the rich and gives to the poor."

"In the beginning, I didn't understand what his motive was"

"Did you understand later?"

"I asked him directly"

"You asked him directly? What did he say?"

"I asked him why he framed Weng Ru, and he asked me back."

"What?"

"He asked me, why is the number 33?"

"Why is it 33? What does it mean? Have you found it?"

"Well, it was found out."

"What's the answer?"

"33 lives."

"Related to your father?"

"Because of Weng Ru's greed for success and wrong decision-making, 33 anti-drug policemen died in that operation, but to be precise, there were actually 32 of them, and only one survived."

"The one who survived was Truman's lover?"

"No, the one who survived was a traitor, and that traitor was an anti-drug hero. Isn't it ironic that the hero has no name and Lizi becomes famous? What's even more ironic is that he did it for a woman, because this woman abandoned her wife and child, son has never even met face to face”

"You didn't disclose the collected evidence because of your father's sins?"

"Not all. I understand his motives, but I don't want to make it public."

"Why don't you want to make it public?"

"Many clues are left by him on purpose. Maybe he wants to accept the trial of the court, maybe he is asking for death, and I don't want him to do so. Death is a kind of relief for him. Living is worse than death, sober He is tortured every moment, and I like to watch him suffer."

"What do you mean?"

"One night, he was on the phone, and I eavesdropped. Later, I checked the cell phone of the program group, and it was an empty number. He was calling someone who didn't exist. At that time, I had an idea in my mind. , A very absurd idea. What is even more absurd is that this idea turned out to be true, which is really interesting. You didn't see his look at that time, he held the phone carefully in both hands, and the hope in his eyes , he squatted on the ground and trembled in pain, how could I have the heart to puncture his illusion? If it was you——do you have the heart? "

"His fantasy, how is it possible, it is impossible for him to live in fantasy all his life?"

"If it was you, the person you loved disappeared, and you guessed that he was dead during the investigation, what would you do?"

"I think I will continue to search, at least find his body"

"He didn't continue the investigation, and he even destroyed all the evidence he found, which is one of the reasons why this big case was finally suppressed. While planning revenge, he unconsciously fabricated elaborate lies, even All the details of the lie are exquisite and true and logical"

"This is ridiculous"

"It's really absurd. He imagined that the person was still alive, but he didn't dare to touch it, like a bubble. He was very eager, but he was very scared. He knew that he might disappear if he touched it. He made up a story that seemed real. His past, even including all the details, all the details that can be faked: his malice once hurt him, so he dared not get close to him in his life. But after he believed all this, he couldn't help but want to get close, wanting to He wants to be forgiven by that person, so he also left a reminder for himself, telling himself that he can't get close to him. Occasionally he will become sober, and when he is sober, he will make up new reasons for not being close to him, and compare himself with that person. The distance was cruelly opened... Later, even if he was no longer sober, he didn't dare to approach that person again. The time he was sober became shorter and shorter, and he thought he was normal, and it became more and more normal. It's time to be sick, and those bad memories are just a nightmare..."

"Why not send him to prison, it's too cruel for him to live like this"

"Even he himself doesn't know that he can't go to prison, let alone be sentenced to death. He has severe mental illness and delusional disorder. His psychological diagnosis report can exempt him from all criminal responsibilities, but he doesn't know it. He thought he was normal"

"Actually, you really let him go because of envy; you even dare not desecrate this heavy relationship."

"Maybe, I also want to see how long he can last this desperate love alone, and what else he will do. I want to be a witness of all this."

memories of veterans

Interview video from five years ago

……

The picture changed, there was a thick stack of files on the table, and an old and hoarse voice sounded, "I burned the body myself."

"People are dead?"

"Ah."

"What about Truman's decades of experience in the book? Is it also false? He said in his autobiography that he has been following that person. Because of his previous malice, he did not dare to approach or let him find out. Only when he is redeemed can he be forgiven and truly approach the one he loves."

"all fake."

"fake?"

"He perfectly forged the proof that a dead man was alive, he fooled everyone, and he fooled himself"

"Are these files forged?"

"The file is real."

"Why do you say people are dead?"

"Do you know how to perfectly fake a dead man alive?"

"No matter how forged, there will always be clues."

"What if there is a living person who is willing to hide in darkness and live for the dead all his life?"

"How can there be such a person?"

The camera zoomed in, and it was an old man with gray hair, "I am the one who lives for the dead."

"what's your name?"

"Many years ago, my name was Qu Bofu."

"Why are you doing this?"

The camera zoomed in again, and the old man's wrinkled face was full of muddy tears, "For atonement."

"As far as I know, in your undercover career for more than 50 years, you have repeatedly experienced betrayal and being betrayed in several near-death dangers. It can be said that an undercover agent is living in dire straits. For more than 50 years, you have assisted in uncovering the You have made countless achievements in more than a dozen major cases, but you refused the opportunity to be promoted or changed jobs, and you still don’t even have a name, only a code name. Is this choice related to Truman’s persecution?”

"Truman? I've never met him. I know him from his memoirs."

"So it's all your choice?"

"It's my own fault. 32 lives, I burned their bodies with my own hands. When the fire was lit in the grass, I even felt that they were still breathing. They were still looking at me. They were still alive.... ..I will never forget what they looked like before they died, and I will bear the sin of these 32 lives until I die, and I will never be able to get redemption in this life.”

"In order to get salvation, that's why you decided to become an undercover agent"

"These 32 lives allowed me to gain the trust of drug lords. By mistake, I continued to carry out the DEA's undercover mission. At first I thought about dying, but I didn't die. I survived several times. Later, I wanted to live. Because only by living can I atone for my sins.”

"Tens of thousands of people connected with that big case died, but Truman let you go. I think you have atoned for your sins."

"In this world, not all mistakes can be forgiven and redeemed, and I am the one who will go to hell after death. He let me go, maybe it was just because of my code name, or just wanted to keep me As a witness, tell these things"

"Your code name?"

"This code name used to belong to the company commander. It is the legend of the anti-drug company, and it is also the soul of the anti-drug company. People die, but the soul can't die..."
