Chapter 70 The Agatha Manuscript

Nicole Kidman is currently on the rise in her career. As Edmund knows, the new movie "Whatever" she collaborated with Rui Fan's brother not long ago has a good reputation in the industry, which to a certain extent has turned many film critics. Apart from his impression of her 'vase', he hadn't heard any other news.

It is unlikely that she will suffer a major blow in her career, so the emotional suspicion becomes the biggest. Tom Cruise must have done something to make her sad.

To be honest, Cruise’s impression in Edmondo’s heart was not very good. When everyone stood up to accuse Pete of derailment in marriage, few people accused him, most likely because of the one he abandoned Mimi Rogers is not famous.

"Thinking of me so lost, oh - don't worry, I'll take care of you. Oh - hey! You have two beautiful friends! I'm so lucky, but you guys have to line up and get drunk between me and that My brothers will take good care of you and your friends with Big Bird until the beauty is over!"

It wasn't until the man's disgusting fingers touched his face that Edmundo came back to his senses. Although Alicia couldn't understand French, she could still feel the atmosphere and understand the movements. She pulled Fran back vigilantly. The door, but a few guys who were obviously with the men blocked their way.

It seems that the level of this club is too low, anyone can be admitted.Edmund glanced sleepily at the man in front of him and the man who teased him.

"To be honest, I'm a little bit disappointed that I'm half French."

The man's hand was about to land on his butt, but the man paused when he heard this, and in this 1-second gap, Edmondo grabbed the opponent's wrist with his backhand, and then folded it in the opposite direction.In the first few seconds, the man didn't realize what happened, until he saw his abnormally twisted forearm, and screamed heart-piercingly.

The white-haired director felt nothing at all.

"Maybe you haven't heard my name, but that doesn't matter, you can avoid this just by remembering not to trouble me and my friends, and by the way, the blonde over there is also my friend from now on." Demondo shook his hand in disgust, and said coldly in French, "If you still want to continue, I don't mind breaking the other one too."

The man's face was already drenched with sweat, and he turned his head to look at Edmondo with hatred, and quietly stretched his other hand to his lower back.But that's useless, when it comes to guns, no one can beat Edmondo.

So the man broke off his second arm, and Edmondo had an extra gun in his hand.

"Why are you still standing there!" The man twisted his face and yelled in pain, "Punch a few holes in his face, and I'll screw him out of his head when it's over!"

More than a dozen armed men surrounded him.

Edmondo took a deep breath, and after checking the clips with his head down, he smiled sullenly at the people around him.

Want to fuck his brains?

It's been a long time since anyone dared to say such stupid things to him, and someone has to do something to appease his anger.

……

Johnny Depp was late. There were two Chinese selling magical sugar figures on the side of the road. He forgot the time when he looked at it. Now he can only hope that the two panda sugar figures in his hand can make Ed Mundo wasn't mad at him.

However, when Depp rushed to the club, he was accompanied by local police cars in Cannes. Those policemen spoke French with a strong accent. The whole thing was picked up.

"Damn it!"

Visibly panicked by his naked eyes, he quickly rushed into the gate of the club with two sugar figures in hand, and at the first sight of entering, he accurately captured Edmondo's white figure in the dark scene.

Edmundo got up from the mess and turned the gun beautifully. The gun fell back into his hand from mid-air. Depp followed his hand with his eyes, watching him use the butt of the gun fiercely without hesitation. Knock out the last opponent standing.

"Hi! Johnny!" He raised his hand to wipe off the blood stained on his chin, and then waved his hand in greeting naturally, "It's a pity that you missed a good show."

This is really-

Very Edmondo style, stunning beauty.

Depp opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything in the end.

……

The French police didn't make it difficult for Edmundo. They just asked him a few questions and then took the other people who were beaten up back to the police station. It may be because of the surname he inherited. Don't make things difficult for him.In short, after everything was over, Edmondo and Alicia took Nicole Kidman, who was drunk, back to the hotel.

Of course, Depp also went back with them, but unfortunately one of his sugar figures was broken on the way back.Fran followed at the end. It was the first time he had seen Edmundo take action seriously, but apart from being shocked, he was also annoyed that he hadn't been able to help.

"Okay, just put her here."

Edmondo directed and placed Kidman on the sofa with Alicia. He brought her two pillows, and then took two bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator to cool her down.

"Does anyone have the contact information of her agent or friends, we have to tell them her whereabouts quickly." He looked at everyone and asked, "I guess she had a conflict with Cruise, or worse, the family Something went wrong."

Depp went to call her agent, and Alicia stared at her strangely for a moment, then stood up suddenly and snapped her fingers.

"I know what's bothering her. I heard someone in the crew say that she and Cruise wanted to have a baby, but she couldn't get pregnant, so Cruise has been a lot colder to her in recent years." She narrowed her eyes Thinking, he said, "It seems that they are considering adopting one recently, and right here, the problem arises again."

"□□?"

"Yes, I heard that they were looking around for institutions, but when an institution found a child that met their requirements, they suddenly rejected that institution, and their attitude changed completely."

"Changed? Why?"

"Maybe you know the church of Cruise. This is what they told Cruise to stop seeing that institution. The church hopes that they can choose the children of two believers for adoption."

"—that's really weird." Edmondo looked at Kidman who was asleep on the sofa and made a few faces, "If I were her, I would divorce Cruise immediately, and Scientology makes people Creepy."

Alicia looked at Edmundo and nodded heavily, obviously she thought so too.Fran didn't know much about the church they were talking about, so he quietly remained silent next to Dai Ai.

This matter is beyond Edmondo's ability and cognition. When he hears 'children', he is basically sure. Maybe this will offend some people, but he still has to say that he is a firm 'don't Children'ist.

Yes, he had no intention of having a child with anyone in his life.

Don't condemn him, it's just him personally.

After staying in the room for a few more minutes, Edmondo slipped out of the oppressive room on the pretext of buying medicine.

Looking at the closed door of the room, he suddenly became a little depressed for some reason.

Edmondo had never intended to have children, since he was about 13 years old, and he didn't think he was capable of raising them.

If you don't have the ability to be someone else's father, you don't have to. No one points a gun at someone's head and wants him to contribute a child to the world, right?

It is a disaster for people who have no sense of responsibility to become parents.

Edmondo doesn't think he had an unhappy childhood, but he still doesn't want anyone to experience it.

When he passed the corner and walked towards the elevator, he took a cigarette from his jacket pocket and chewed it in his mouth. He would do this again whenever he encountered something extremely annoying. The spicy tobacco can be very good neutralize the discomfort in the heart.

And the next second, he bumped into a short and fat man with a briefcase.

"Oh fuck!"

The man had an authentic London accent, and with a short exclamation, the documents in his hand were scattered all over the floor.Almost instantly, the man threw himself on the ground cursing and began to pick up those documents carefully, as if they were some kind of treasure.

"You better hope they're okay you bastard, or I—"

But just when the man looked up and saw Edmundo standing in front of him, he froze in place, and the harsh words he was about to continue stuck in his mouth.

So the atmosphere became awkward.

"I'm so sorry for bumping into you, Mr. Moreira! Please don't blame me, I just didn't see clearly just now." He quickly changed his face and became polite and enthusiastic, "I'm so confused, it must have been driving for too long and caused my eyesight , just ran into you, didn't hurt you, did it?"

Edmundo shook his head subconsciously, the man picked up all the documents and got up, then rubbed his palm on the seam of his trousers, and stretched out to him.

"Thank you, Lady Luck, for your blessing, I'm here to find you this time!" he said.

Edmondo was caught off guard by his enthusiasm.

"Uh, huh?" He uttered two single voices dryly in doubt, and shook hands with the man passively, "Are you—you're here to find me?"

"Yes! I came to the Cannes Film Festival this time just to meet you!" As he spoke, he picked out a transparent document bag from his arms and handed it over, which contained some yellowed documents, "This is it, look— —”

Edmondo narrowed his eyes. Through the file bag, he could vaguely see the name on it. It was written in cursive characters with a black pen, very much in the style of decades ago.

""Witness for the Prosecution"?" He read out the words, and then looked at the man suspiciously, "Is this - Agatha Christie's manuscript?"

To his surprise, the man froze.

But soon, the man's expression became extremely excited again.

"Why—I can't believe I found the right person! It's rare to have someone who knows grandma like this!" He shook Edmundo's hand vigorously, "but you can tell it's her from the name and the font There are not many people in the whole world! I knew you were the right person to be the first to remake it!"

Edmundo was confused by the man's reaction, remake?What remake?A remake of Agatha's Witness for the Prosecution?Wasn't that movie already filmed in the 50s? Why did he say it was the first?

"Wait a minute, this-God, I don't even know your name." Edmondo pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "I think it needs a lot of explanation."

"Sorry sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The man smiled awkwardly, then cleared his throat, "I'm Matthew Pritchard, and Agatha Christie is my grandma."

Edmondo blinked, so this person is the grandson of Queen of Reasoning Agatha Christie.

"The thing is this: I went to the attic of her house to pack things a few days ago, and accidentally opened a box full of dust, which was full of mold, but under the moldy clothes, I found it." Man He introduced with a smile, "I read a few pages and quickly realized that this is a brand new story that has never been shown to the world. It would be great if it could be put on the big screen before everyone knows the ending. Extremely!"

"Uh, with all due respect, sir." Edmondo smiled apologetically, "This story has been published hundreds of times in the collection of Agatha mystery short films, and it has also been adapted into a movie, Charles - starring Laughton, it's an old movie, from '58 or '59 if I remember correctly."

"No, no, this must be some other movie you misremembered. This is my grandma's manuscript, the first edition, and there are traces of revisions on it, and I have never seen this story before." The man took Puzzled and excitedly replied, "I swear to God with my soul! This manuscript has never been seen by anyone other than you and me!"

Edmondo lost (lost)

He was sure that his memory was correct. He had watched such a classic movie as "Witness for the Prosecution" countless times when he was a child. It was a movie directed by Billy Wilder. His "sharp humor" was deeply rooted in the Edmondo's mind.

Just when Edmondo was so confused that he doubted himself, Depp appeared.

"I just informed Kidman's agent, he asked me to thank you, and said that he would pick her up tomorrow—what's the matter with you, Dudu?" He patted Edmondo on the shoulder, and then looked suspiciously at To the short and fat man opposite, "This unknown gentleman, may I ask you—"

Edmundo interrupted his question with a jerk of his sleeve, and he asked it again.

"Why are you so pale? Are you okay, Edmondo, what's the matter?"

"Just—tell me if you have seen a movie called "Witness for the Prosecution", which was released in the late 50s and adapted from a short story by Agatha." Edmondo asked weakly, with the last Hope, "Tell me you've seen it."

Johnny Depp shook his head in confusion, and gave a negative answer without hesitation.

"Sorry, Dudu, I've never heard of the existence of this movie."

At that moment, it seemed that all the oxygen was sucked away. Edmondo subconsciously covered his throat, and the suffocation crawled up his back.

"Look, I told you earlier. You must have misremembered some other movie. Grandma has never published this novel." The person who claimed to be Agatha's grandson brushed off his cuff, "So, what do you think What's my idea?"
