Bang Chow grips this compact black suitcase as he steps from Kehoe's slowing car and strides toward Tengtu Hok's walled gate. Its plain, unadorned surface conceals unknown contents during the exposed drop-off, drawing eyes to the courier's deliberate pace amid alley shadows and distant threats.

Black Suitcase Drop at Hok's Gate

The small black suitcase is the operation's macguffin: physically carried by Bang as the focus of the handoff, it converts the mundane street into a site of clandestine exchange and raises the stakes by making Bang a marked figure while moving toward the palace gate.

Before: In Bang's hand inside the moving car, concealed but in transit toward the palace.

After: Still in Bang's possession as he walks toward the palace gate; not yet delivered to the palace or a recipient within the scene.
