Chapter 710 The Shawshank Redemption
The two had dinner in a high-end restaurant. After dinner, Jiang Hao was taken to a ballroom. The ballroom was very lively. Johnny called some of his subordinates to accompany them. Everyone drank and chatted together. Johnny lay on the bed with a cigar in his mouth. Said to Jiang Hao on the sofa:
"Is there any girl on the dance floor who likes it? As long as you like it, I will send someone to your room tonight." Johnny said.
"No, I'm not interested in them." Jiang Hao shrugged.
"Haha, yes, your girlfriend is the heroine of a movie, and she is indeed very beautiful."
"I think Marilyn will be delighted to hear that."
The two lit their cigars, took a sip from their wine glasses, and Johnny said, "I used to know a guy from New York, when I was in prison in Shawshank, there was a guy named Andy from New York, he said I am a banker, and my previous office was on Wall Street."
After hearing Johnny's words, Jiang Hao was stunned.
Shawshank,
andy,
banker.
Damn, isn't Shawshank Prison a fictional place in Steve King's novel? There is also a banker named Andy. Could it be Andy Dufresne, the unjustly imprisoned banker in "The Shawshank Redemption".
Jiang Hao has seen that movie several times. He knows that Andy was indeed wronged. He never gave up fighting for his freedom, but because of the greed of the prison warden, his only chance to get rid of his grievance was snuffed out. , and finally had to escape from the prison by digging a tunnel.
With a pickaxe and a rice spoon, Andy finally dug through the tunnel with an incomprehensible will for 19 years.
"Where is Shawshank Prison?" Jiang Hao asked.
"In Ohio."
Jiang Hao didn't return to the hotel until very late. After returning to the hotel, Jiang Hao immediately asked the front desk to bring a big yellow page. After searching, he finally saw the name of Shawshank Prison, which was located in Ohio.
He had doubts before, but now it seems to be true.
Lying in bed, thinking about Shawshank and Andy, this world is really interesting, a lot of 1950s movies are connected together.
Marilyn Monroe's Seven Year Itch, Godfather 2's Mike Corleone, American Noodles, and now Shawshank Redemption.
He met Monroe, had some indirect intersection with godfather Mike Corleone, and Noodles became his subordinate. Now that he knew about Andy's existence, Jiang Hao became very interested in Andy's affairs.
Do you want to save him?
Of course I want it!
How to save?
This needs to be carefully considered.
Close your eyes, and go over the Shawshank Redemption movie carefully in your mind. He has the ability to remember the movie with a photographic memory. As long as he remembers the movies he has watched, he can remember every detail and every picture.
Andy was wronged. At the end of the movie, a thief Tommy once told Andy that he had a roommate named Elmo when he was in prison last time. He once told Tommy that he robbed and killed Andy. wife and her lover.
Just find the burglar to save Andy.
Jiang Hao got up from the bed, walked to the table and sat down, took out a white paper and a pencil from the space, the burglar named Elmo appeared in the movie, Jiang Hao drew the appearance of that person with the help of his memory .
With his current painting skills, he can completely draw a person like a real person. Looking at the guy with bared teeth in the portrait, Jiang Hao tapped the drawing paper with a pencil, and frowned slightly. According to the timeline of the movie, 8 This guy will go to jail after a year, and he is still running around the world. It is not easy to find such a person, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Well, let's start with Andy first, and find out if such a person really exists.
the next day,
Jiang Hao found the largest law firm in Miami through Huang Ye. Jiang Hao dressed up as Iron Man Stark and went directly to the law firm.
"Sir, what do you want?" the receptionist asked.
"I have a case and I need the best lawyer here. Money is not a problem." Tony Stark has nothing else, even if he has a lot of money, Jiang Hao can't insult this surname.
The smile on the reception lady's face was as bright as the sunshine in Miami, and rich clients were their favorites, "No problem sir, Lawyer Field is the owner of our law firm and the best lawyer in Miami, please follow me .”
Jiang Hao met Lawyer Field, and the two sides exchanged polite greetings. Lawyer Field asked, "I wonder if Mr. Stark needs me to solve something?"
"I have a friend. His name is Andy Dufresne. He was imprisoned in Shawshank Prison for murder. The time of his imprisonment should be 1947. It has been 9 years now." Jiang Hao said.
Field asked with some surprise: "Mr. Stark, what do you need from me?"
"Go and see him, and collect all the information about his case, everything." Jiang Hao said.
"Are you going to reverse the case for him, but nine years have passed." Attorney Field asked a little puzzled.
"You just need to do what I ask, and leave the rest alone. For his case, you must collect all the information. This is my request." Jiang Hao said.
Now he can't tell Andy anything, he is afraid that Andy can't help but go to the warden, that will only do bad things.
"No problem, you are God." Lawyer Field said straightforwardly.
"How much is the lawyer's fee?"
"For the time being, you need to pay 5,000 US dollars in advance. You know, I need to go to Ohio, and then go to New York to collect the case files. This trip will take a long time." Lawyer Field said.
Jiang Hao took out a wad of money from his pocket, split half of it in the middle, and put the other half on the table, "This is 5,000 US dollars. I have work to do during this time. You should investigate it yourself first, and report the situation to the law firm at any time." , I will call the law firm to inquire about the progress when I have time."
Seeing the banknote, the smile on Lawyer Field's face became more cordial, "No problem at all, you can call my secretary to ask."
He has seen a lot of clients who make weird requests, as long as there is money to be made, everything is not a problem.
the next day,
The train on which the crew of "Some Like It Hot" finally arrived in Miami, and Jiang Hao began to arrange the shooting of the film.
On the set, Johnny came over with a group of subordinates, which made the crew nervous again, but seeing how familiar Johnny and Director Hall were, everyone relaxed.
Many people said that the boss is really powerful, and he easily solved the kidnapping of Jack Lemmon at the beginning. Now that he is in Miami, and the boss of the gang here is here, it seems that there should be no accidents this time.
This is indeed the case. The filming went very smoothly, and no one came to make trouble. Because of the role change in Miami, there were a lot of jokes and conflicts. This is why this film was selected as the number one among the 100 American comedy classics. where.
a few days later,
Jiang Hao took the time to call Field Law Firm to ask about Andy.
"Mr. Stark, I am the secretary of Lawyer Field. My boss called back yesterday and said that he had met Mr. Andy. Mr. Andy was very surprised, but the two still talked a lot about the case and about life. etc."
Shawshank Prison.
When the prison guard came to tell Andy that someone was visiting the prison, he was very surprised. His eyes froze for a few seconds. His parents died long ago, his wife died, and he had no other relatives. During the nearly 10 years in prison, there was no one. People came to see him.
"What a shock, let's go Andy." The prison guard said.
"Oh, okay, Mark, who's here?" Andy asked the guard.
"A lawyer."
lawyer!
Could it be that the grievance letter I wrote to the court had an effect and the investigation was restarted?
At this moment, Andy's heart suddenly became hot.
When he came to the reception room, Andy saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked smart and capable at first glance. The man smiled at Andy and said, "It's Mr. Andy, I'm Field, from Miami .”
Andy was in a daze. He was from Miami. If the court wanted to retrial, shouldn't he be from New York?
Andy squeezed out a smile, reached out and shook hands with Field, "Hello, Lawyer Field."
"Let's sit down and talk."
"OK,"
The two sat down, and Andy asked curiously: "I don't know what Lawyer Field wants from me."
Field smiled, "A friend of yours asked me to visit you."
"my friend?"
"Mr. Tony Stark."
Andy frowned slightly, and searched for the name Tony Stark in his mind. He didn't seem to have such a friend. Speaking of which, Andy was also a very smart guy, otherwise he wouldn't have become a banker at a young age.
"Don't you have any impression?"
"Yes, I can't remember." Andy said with a slight shake of his head.
Field smiled, "That's not the point, can you tell me about your case?"
"Are you here to investigate my case?" Andy asked.
Field shrugged, "My client, Mr. Tony Stark, requested this. He told me that you were imprisoned for murdering his wife and her lover. I want to know all the details of your case. After meeting you , I will go to the New York State Legislative Court to obtain your case file."
Andy swallowed hard, and said a little excitedly: "That Tony Stark, is he going to help me reverse the case?"
"My customer didn't say anything, he just told me he wanted to know the situation."
Andy stabilized his mind, slowly fell into memories, and said in a low voice: "My wife and I have a relationship crisis, she and a baseball player, we had a big argument that day, she said she didn't want to sneak around Yes, I have to go to Renault to get divorced."
"Then she packed up and moved right in with the baseball coach at the Glenn Quentin country club."
"That night, I went to the bar to get drunk first, drank a lot of alcohol, and my mind was dizzy. I went outside his house and prepared a gun, but in the end I didn't do anything, and my mind slowly cleared up. Driving home, on the way, threw the gun in the river under the bridge, went home to sleep, but the next day the police arrested me and the prosecutor charged me with murder."
"I can swear to God I didn't do it but no one listens to me and they don't find the gun and they say it's because I can't deny that I fired it and they convict me and get two life sentences .”
Speaking of this, Andy's affection is very sad.
