"I Am a Murderer" starring Zhao Liying, Xiao Yang and Dong Zijian has entered the end, and the main plot has also opened a reverse mode, originally Shen Yu manipulated the patient He Weiguang and brainwashed him into the murderer of the Haizhou case.
But I don't want Shen Yu to be the one who is manipulated, Shen Yu's father Shen Haiyang has actually been killed long ago, the murderer pretended to be Shen Haiyang to contact Shen Yu, and implemented a 17-year-long serial exoneration and "hunting" plan.
The first step is to destroy the evidence.
He left a letter to Shen Yu in the identity of Shen Haiyang, suggesting that she Shen Haiyang was framed as a suspect in the sea boat case, and used the little girl's high INTELLIGENCE and trust in her father to destroy all of Shen Haiyang's personal information.
In this way, it not only covered up the fact that Shen Haiyang was dead, but also cleared the clues left by Shen Haiyang, and planted a seed of "father may be a murderer" in Shen Yu's heart, which affected her cognitive bottom line little by little.
The second step is to blame.
On the one hand, the real murderer conveyed the message of "father will definitely come back to you" to Shen Yu, and on the other hand, he guided Shen Yu to track down the clues of the Haizhou case, because of the layout in the early stage, the more Shen Yu traced, the more suspicious of his father.
The more Shen Yu did to protect his father, the greater The suspicion of Shen Haiyang from the perspective of the police, and when Shen Yu also thought that his father was the real murderer, Shen Haiyang was a real murderer in the eyes of everyone.
Therefore, in the process of searching for his father, Shen Yu also formulated a "exoneration plan" for his father, brainwashing He Weiguang, who was very similar to the portrait of the real murderer in the Haizhou case, into a murderer, trying to make him carry the pot.
Shen Yu was domesticated little by little in this process, and perhaps at the beginning she had the idea of "if my father was a murderer, then I would definitely let him fall to the law", but when she continued to break the law, she gradually lost the basic principle.
The third step is hunting.
Shen Yu's "exoneration plan" is likely to be also the plan provided by the real murderer, because in the last package, the real murderer asked Shen Yu to cooperate with him to do the last thing, and sent her a copy of the crime diary of "Shen Haiyang".
The "last thing" mentioned in the letter is to create a new case, sitting on He Weiguang's identity as the "real murderer" in the Haizhou case, but this case may be that Shen Yu has only completed 99 steps, and the last step is done by the real murderer.
Because Shen Yu was too exposed in this plan.
Both her relationship with He Weiguang and the evidence of her contact with new victims (dancing girls) are too much, which will make the police suspect that she is a mastermind, and with Shen Yu's INTELLIGENCE, she should not expose herself so thoroughly.
However, whether Shen Yu has achieved the last step or not, the murderer's plan has been successful, he has successfully become completely invisible in this incident, and tamed a new victim: Shen Yu.
If it were not for the discovery of Shen Haiyang's body, all the evidence would point to Shen Yu and his father Shen Haiyang as suspects in the new case of the Haizhou case, shen Yu thought that he had manipulated He Weiguang, but he did not know that he was the one who was most deeply manipulated.
This main line plot is a bit like a "matryoshka doll", the bright line plot is That Shen Yu routines everyone, from Xiao Huajun and He Weiguang to Xia Mu and Leng Xiaobing, all under her control, and even the audience thinks that she is a routineist.
The dark line plot is that the murderer controls the big routine, putting the audience and the three protagonists into it, and the layer after layer of "matryoshka dolls" is very brain-burning, especially the reversal of Shen Yu's manipulation, most of the audience did not expect it.
Moreover, when the reversal comes, the audience will also find that the screenwriter has a lot of hints in the early stages, especially the protagonists of the two units, Xiao Huajun and Cao Yingxia, who are both manipulated by the victim to become the type of murderer.
This coincides with the situation of Shen Yu, who to some extent is a projection of Shen Yu, Who has been domesticated like Cao Yingxia, except that the domestication experienced by Cao Yingxia is violent, and Shen Yu has experienced family control.
The relationship between the murderer and Shen Yu is also very similar to the relationship between Shen Yu and Xiao Huajun, both of which promote the criminal acts of the latter, but hide behind their backs without showing their faces, and the manipulated people never know that they are being manipulated.
Combining these clues to see the identity of the murderer is more interesting, layers of skinny nesting doll-style crimes, but also coincides with the title of the play "Who is the murderer", as long as the plot is not over, the audience thinks that the murderer may not be the murderer.
This big BOSS is a "matryoshka doll" setting is quite amazing, only this one reversal effect, it is worthy of the good score of Douban 7.1, but objectively speaking, "Who is the murderer" away from the "suspense god work", there is still some meaning.
The case preparation at the beginning of the story is amazing, whether it is the setting of the haizhou case or Gao Lu's smiling death performance, it is really creepy, and the plot reversal is enough to burn the brain, at least most people are wrapped around.
However, the connection of the middle plot has seriously dragged its hind legs, and there are two hard injuries.
One is that the internal friction between the two male protagonists is serious, which affects the rhythm of the story.
After the first unit case, Natsuki and Leng Xiaobing entered the internal friction mode, and the information on both sides was almost not shared, Leng Xiaobing had already found that Shen Yu's father had a problem as early as episode 4, and Shen Yu was investigating Xia Mu in episode 7.
But he did not tell Xia Mu about these important information at all, and then the screenwriter used a large space to portray how Xia Mu found Shen Haiyang, and how he found himself being monitored by Shen Yu, standing in the perspective of the suspenseful audience, the information is too repetitive.
It was not until episodes 11 and 12 that the two began to compare information, even if the new unit story Cao Yingxia case is very exciting, it can not stop the tediousness of internal friction between the two characters, making the two male protagonists look very redundant.
Suspense drama, all the information pointed to the suspect is the focus of the audience's capture, but also the explosive content that sets off the tension of the story, a large number of overlapping information, will only make the plot appear boring, make the police appear inefficient.
Another hard wound is that the showdown method is too rough and wasteful of the foreshadowing.
Some suspense dramas like to set up two cards of light and dark, that is, the boss on the surface and the real boss, in "Who is the murderer", Shen Yu is a typical "open card", the gun blocker cultivated by the murderer.
But although Mingpai is not a real BOSS, it can also collide with the decent to create a different spark, so that the story and the characters have more tension, in this regard, the screenwriter initially paved the way for shen Yu's crime.
Unfortunately, the showdown between the police and Shen Yu is very rough, Xia Mu and Shen Yu showdown all rely on "quarrel", get a little clue and directly shine with Shen Yugang, completely can not see the appearance of criminal investigation high-quality students.
Shen Yu's response also went up and down, sometimes the screenwriter made her a high-IQ criminal genius, and sometimes wanted her to eat human fireworks, and many of the confrontations between the two resembled "primary school chickens" quarrels.
Leng Xiaobing is even more miserable, two-thirds of the plot almost none of the highlights belong to the suspense drama old police, the clues are mostly based on joy from the sky, suddenly suspect Shen Yu, suddenly check Shen Yu's father.
Finding that Shen Yu's father had a problem, Shen Yu himself secretly investigated Xia Mu and knew that Xia Mu had PTSD, and also allowed Xia Mu to name Shen Yu to participate in the Cao Yingxia case, which made people think that he had conspired to do something big.
As a result, there is no... He simply put an end to Natsuki's failed plan.
Seeing this, people can't help but put a question mark on the ability of Leng Xiaobing, suspense drama is not a life emotional drama, each role needs to present his identity highlight, otherwise it is difficult to support the character's personality charm.
Overall, the portrayal of the three protagonists is missing a breath, the "little villain" Shen Yu can still have a manipulated BE reversal tension to support, and the two police male protagonists are obviously weak.
This problem coupled with the rhythm flaw caused by internal friction, the hard wound of "Who is the Murderer" is difficult to ignore.
If "Who's the Murderer" is a bad drama with no highlights, it doesn't matter how many hard injuries there are, but it is not, and the matryoshka reversal of the main line and the thriller effect of the early stage originally gave it enough potential to become a god.
But the two major hard injuries appeared to drag the overall quality hind legs, good stories, but not perfectly assembled, so that the potential of more than 8 points only got 7 points of presentation, which is a pity.
