Revealed or would reveal
I've found this sentence in a dialogue:
Don't do that! Any silly move that would reveal he's a cop would certainly bring about his murder.
I have a doubt. According to the grammar rules I studied, I think it should be written this way:
Don't do that! Any silly move that revealed he's a cop would certainly bring about his murder.
Are both sentences correct? Is it possible would+would?

"would reveal" refers to a future possibility.
This one is also OK.
