Zhao Liying Xiaoyang Dong Zijian starred in the "Who is the Murderer" finale, and sure enough...
Whether a suspense drama is successful or not, the key depends on whether the ending can prove that the fog in the early stage is not mysterious.
Unfortunately, "Who's the Murderer" can't prove it.
The ending is too hasty, there is no reasonable explanation in many places, let people know at once, no wonder it was said that there were 24 episodes before...
Only 16 episodes are left, each episode is still so short, how many things have been deleted!
But even so, this is already the most successful drama of iQiyi Mist Theater this year.
Although some of the details are incoherent, there are also many very subtle designs, for example, I guess many people do not see the end-to-end echo and various contrasts.
As early as two days after "Who is the Murderer" aired, I guessed that the murderer was Hu Shanquan, and he had not even appeared at that time.
But the opening and closing credits already tell me everything.
Looking back now, the details of my analysis are different from the actual plot, but the idea is completely correct.
Now re-analyze it again according to the combination situation.
Two versions, one is the Sunshine Version and the other is the Dark Version, which is the hidden ending.
The Sunshine Edition is the "revised version" that I analyzed earlier.
The focus of the opening film on the killer is in a room that looks like a dormitory, with posters of two men hanging.
That is obviously a hint at the intimate relationship between Shen Haiyang and Hu Shanquan, the former once taught the latter hand in hand, but the two pairs of shoes placed "tit-for-tat" symbolize that the two have embarked on an opposite path.
The propaganda poster is reflected through the opposite mirror, which has the meaning of mirroring each other.
The two men in the painting look exactly the same, the white coat in the front means to save life doctors, and the back with a syringe is reminiscent of the murderer.
So at the beginning, many people guessed that Shen Haiyang had twin brothers or was schizophrenic.
Now it seems that it is actually implied that Hu Shanquan, who is standing behind, wants to replace Shen Haiyang.
Look, the clothes are also on the number.
The reason why I was able to guess that the murderer was called Hu Shanquan was because in the ending cast list, the names of "Young Hu Shanquan" and "Young Shen Haiyang" were lined up together, which was most in line with the two men who were exactly the same in the opening propaganda picture.
The actor who played the teenager Hu Shanquan mentioned that his role with the teenager Shen Haiyang was originally very complete, and the two once had a very good relationship, but then Shen Haiyang got married, which made Hu Shanquan feel "betrayed", so he became more and more psychopathic.
Look closely at their names: mountain springs, oceans.
At that time, I just thought that the two names had some kind of connection at a glance, and now combined with the plot, the two were once like brothers, Shen Haiyang unreservedly helped Hu Shanquan, and the trickle could have been completely integrated into the ocean, just like a person successfully integrated into society.
But Hu Shanquan has become a bad person, and in the end it is still a trickle in the deep mountains that cannot be integrated into this world.
The abandoned dog doll at the beginning of the film should refer to Hu Shanquan, which means that he psychologically believes that he has been betrayed and abandoned, and that this person has been abandoned by society.
In fact, I think Xia Mu and Shen Yu should also be a set of contrasts.
The audience who watch the drama carefully should be able to see that Xia Jinlan and Xia Mu are mother and son, right?
The details are obvious enough, which adult man will take a picture of his teacher and ask others if they are beautiful?
The most intuitive evidence is that the document that Shen Yu was holding when he "treated" the chicken killing uncle had a line written on it that Xia Jinlan: Unmarried and childless.
Therefore, Natsuki's mother and Shen Yu's father were both killed by the murderer.
Both are pursuing, but Natsuki leaves a psychological shadow and becomes a patient who needs treatment; Shen Yu, although he also has psychological problems, has become a psychologist who treats others.
It would have been a good thing to be calm enough and have a strong psychological quality, but she went astray and used it as a tool to become an accomplice to the murderer.
Natsuki will use legal means against the murderer, but Shen Yu "counters violence with violence".
In fact, Shen Yu once had a chance to choose.
As a teenager, Shen Yu stood at the door of the police station, hesitating whether to go in, I thought at first she wanted to call the police to say that her father was missing, but then I looked closely, only to find that what she was holding in her hand should be a notice that her father was the murderer.
She must have been hesitant to go in and report her father?
And from the back, after Shen Haiyang disappeared, Hu Shanquan pretended to be Shen Haiyang to say hello to her, and this matter did not make her hesitate.
So, if she had chosen to call the police at that time, the Haizhou case might have been solved sooner, and she would have known at the time that her father was dead, although sad, but...
At least not to make a big mistake later on.
Now let's look at the beginning of the first episode.
The opening "Little Monkey Finds Daddy" and the little monkey refrigerator sticker that the murderer took away after killing Xia Jinlan made me think about it for a long time.
When the little monkey looks for his father, is he hinting at Xia Mu, or Shen Yu, or both?
Later, as the plot progressed, we knew that although it was Natsuki who watched the cartoon, the little monkey actually hinted at Shen Yu.
But that cartoon, in addition to the subtitles, there are two lines, because xia jinlan was covered when she was on the phone next to it and was not fully displayed on the subtitles.
The little monkey said to the frog: My father has big eyes and four legs.
This description is not like a monkey, more like a frog, that is to say, Shen Yu has always looked for the wrong father.
Look at the dark version of the contemplation of the horror.
This version is analyzed by a big god of Douban, that is, Shen Haiyang is the real murderer, and Hu Shanquan is just a clam raised by Shen Haiyang, but in the end he was killed.
And Shen Haiyang's motive for killing people stemmed from the widely circulated medical accident of smiling death in Anding Hospital in the deletion analysis.
After reading it, I was amazed, so that the logic is much smoother, and many places can be explained, for example, if Shen Haiyang is a good person, then he first called the police to do a good deed, why sneaky?
There is also Hu Shanquan, according to the last present in the play, is a small person who does not live well, and has long been driven out of the hospital, where to go to get anesthetics and muscle relaxants?
Crop the picture
The most important thing is that according to the current version, Hu Shanquan also said a paragraph when he finally kidnapped Shen Yu, saying that he did not kill Xia Jinlan and Shen Haiyang was the murderer.
At first, I thought that he had been obsessed with replacing Shen Haiyang for many years, so he was insane and talking nonsense, but when I thought about it more carefully, he was actually completely right: Shen Haiyang could have rushed in to save Xia Jinlan by himself, but he didn't, he deliberately called the police and let the police just catch Hu Shanquan, who killed people.
And look at his expression...
I really don't feel like lying, and even a little aggrieved (of course, he is still the real murderer who actually killed Xia Jinlan, it should be that Shen Haiyang is considered a good person, which makes this pervert feel aggrieved).
Moreover, from a genetic point of view, Shen Yu is an extremely rational and calm "crazy batch", and the dark version of this Shen Haiyang is more like her father.
So I don't understand why I didn't shoot according to this, is it really not expected or said that it can't be reviewed, like the original "Hidden Corner", leaving netizens to make up for a careful and terrifying ending?
