1. Ivan, considered a super spy by the intelligence agency, disguised himself as a journalist with a camera and flash to infiltrate a diplomatic gathering in country A in order to collect important intelligence. As he kept taking photos, an agent from country A approached him: 'Mr. Journalist, may I see your credentials?'

'Of course, here you go.'

Ivan handed over his 'press pass.'

The middle-aged agent carefully examined the 'press pass,' then suddenly shouted, 'What a fake journalist! You'd better reveal your true identity.' As he spoke, he reached into his coat pocket for a gun. Ivan realized he had to escape immediately, but he also thought that if he turned to run now, he would be hit as soon as the gun was drawn. Thinking quickly, Ivan came up with a clever way to buy time, finally escaping safely and disappearing.

2. The astute police officer Harrington, one night while driving to visit a friend, found that night had fallen and he still had 50 miles to go. He decided to stop at a restaurant for a meal. At that moment, a beautiful lady asked for a ride home.

Harrington agreed, but after driving less than a mile, a small car chased them from behind. The lady turned to look and suddenly screamed, 'That's my husband chasing us! He will kill us!'

Harrington found it very suspicious, and since he was unfamiliar with the roads at night, he decided not to race the car and simply pulled over to the side of the road. Soon, the chasing car also stopped, and a violent man jumped out, shouting and yelling. Harrington fully understood the situation. He calmly pointed out the flaw in their staged drama, and the couple slunk away in defeat.

So what had Harrington realized?

Friends, feel free to answer actively. The solution will be revealed tomorrow morning. This is my first post as a newcomer; don't mind the small reward. I also plan to stay for a long time.

In the first question, Ivan used a flash to flash the eyes of the agent from Country A, temporarily blinding him, and took advantage of this moment to quickly escape from the venue. In the second question, at night, it would be impossible for the lady to recognize who was driving against the car's headlights, so this was obviously a premeditated trap.
This is what you call reasoning..
Flash attack blinds him, he keeps saying I don't have enough permissions
If the camera used by the agent has a flash, wouldn't it give him away?
He said to the agent: Look! Who's behind us?! Then he took the opportunity to escape...
Isn't a reporter with a flashlight who doesn't use its flashing function very suspicious? Are you here to conduct an interview, or just to pass by?
I got it, keep holding back and don't tell the participants!
This question is very simple, everyone give it your best, the prizes will be distributed tomorrow at 9:00.
Ivan pretended to be very scared and said to the agent, 'Don't shoot, this is my first time, I have no experience. I'll give you the camera, just let me go.' Then Ivan pretended to hand over the camera, used the flash to temporarily blind the agent, and quickly escaped. Note that the agent was not actually stunned, just dazzled for a few seconds.
There was no 'don't shoot'.
Everyone's answers are not quite correct. The first question is very simple, so don't overthink it.
Because it was a clever way to 'buy time', naturally one would just pick up the flashlight in hand and shine it strongly into that guy's eyes, and while he rubbed his eyes, make a quick escape.
2. That man only appeared a mile away, and his target was Harrington's car. How could he see clearly in the dark that it was his wife inside the car? So it was a man and woman working together to threaten the driver and scam money.
The second question is even simpler. The protagonist's reaction has already obviously hinted to us (the 'context clues' method commonly used in Chinese language studies). A couple of years ago, when the woman said her husband would come and kill 'both of us,' the man's reaction when getting out of the car was to 'shout loudly.' Who would shout loudly while committing murder? This is the flaw.
1. It should be using the flash to buy some time. I think it might also be because of this exposed identity -_-# 2. The weather is already dark, and it's been behind the car; the taillights are not very bright, plus there's a distance, so a normal person wouldn't be able to see the people inside the car clearly.
Um… it's also possible that he followed from the beginning, but only caught up later! Of course, then he knew his wife was inside.
Agree..
The tone described in the text is 'but we had walked less than a mile,' which tends to indicate a relatively short distance.
A li is 500 meters, I don't know about a mile, but can one see a person in a place where you can't even see the road clearly?
And saying 'killed' might just be an exaggeration. Suppose a man wants to teach a woman a lesson; the woman's exaggerated statement is to make the officer leave quickly. For instance, if you got sunburned today, would the sun kill you? Moreover, the officer felt something was off when the man was driving up, not because of the shouting and yelling first.
