Today we talk about a classic crime suspense movie "Confessions after 22 Years",
In just four months, there were five consecutive hangings, making 1995 Tokyo the most panicked nightmare of the era, watching the victim die in front of his family was Kawaguchi's favorite pastime, he committed an unforgivable crime madly and endlessly, but in the face of the media's heavy attention and the full arrest of the police, Kawaguchi was still able to get away with it. Fast forward to 22 years later, in 2017,
When this sensational serial murder case has long passed the statute of limitations, the police investigation work has been forced to stop, those bloody killings and the grief of relatives seem to be buried by time, leaving only a layer of superficial peace, however, when people think that the crime has passed, a blockbuster news broke out that shocked everyone, and the criminals of the 5 murders, Kawaguchi, actually took the initiative to appear at the meeting, and even published a confession book about the case, detailing the whole process of his crime, for a time, Public opinion is swirling, what kind of person is this Kawaguchi? What was his intention in his sudden appearance? According to Japanese law, the day the case is completed for 15 years is the last day of the statute of limitations.
However, in 2010, Japanese law amended this, and the statute of limitations was lifted for cases that could be imposed by the death penalty, so according to the new law, major cases that occurred in the early morning of April 28, 1995 would not follow the efficiency of litigation, however, coincidentally, Kawaguchi's last crime was on the evening of April 27, that is, he just in time for the day before the new law came into effect, and this is one of the important reasons why he dares to appear now. The incompetent police officers and ignorant media failed to tell the truth of the case.
Before these memorable cases are permanently sealed, I decided to bring all the truth to the public, and Kawaguchi introduced in detail the 3 principles he adhered to, one is to let the victim's family watch them die, the second is to tie the victim from behind and can only be hanged, and the third is not to kill the witness, because he wants to keep the witness alive and become the best communicator of the police and the media, so that he can enjoy double fun, it seems that this guy is not only cruel, but also a dead pervert. According to Kawaguchi's recollection, in the 4th murder, he had been injured in the shoulder by the Boya police officer who was pursuing him, and in retaliation, he locked the sister of the boya officer as the next target, and Boya learned the news and rushed home in a hurry, but it was too late, and the old criminal policeman who walked in front accidentally touched the organ set up by Kawaguchi and was buried in a violent explosion.
And the sister has not seen anyone dead since then, this matter has also become the biggest knot in the past 22 years of Boya, no one thought that Kawaguchi, who made the victim's family suffer for many years, actually became a controversial and sought after red man through the publication of confessions, handsome looks, a fan-like life and high-IQ crime methods, making people curious and indulging in it, and for the victim's family, this is undoubtedly to tear open the scab scars again, however, want far more than this, He led the media to the hospital where the family worked, knelt down with red eyes and begged the other party to forgive him for the crime he committed 22 years ago, provoking the boya police officer who came with him to take advantage of the heat exposed by the media.
At the signing party, the family of the victim invited the killer to kill Kawaguchi, however, the boya police officer who received the news saved Kawaguchi at the critical moment, because he wanted to bring the criminals to justice with his own hands, and the little girl Miharu, who witnessed her father's murder, was very angry at Boya's approach, and she questioned why Boya wanted to protect Kawaguchi as a scum, and Boya could only remain silent. As Kawaguchi's popularity soared,
Just ten days after the signing session,
He participated in a live TV show, the host Nakamura has been paying attention to these 5 murders since 95, as soon as nakamura threw out a sharp question at the beginning, he questioned the integrity of the case in this confession book and whether Kawaguchi was the real murderer, why the book did not explain the disappearance of Boya's sister Rika, but before Kawaguchi gave a reasonable explanation, a video of the real murderer and other people flowed out on the Internet, and the film denounced Kawaguchi as a big liar. In this short video, the missing Rika seems to flash by, and Nakamura then points out that if the murderer is really Kawaguchi, why is the most important motive for the murder not written in the book? Do you not want to write, or do you not want to write for some reason? At the same time, Boya came to the apartment where the incident occurred, and every time he took a step forward, his mind flashed the original scene, because the statute of limitations had passed, he could not avenge the old criminal policeman, because of the murder of Ri xiang, her disheartened boyfriend chose to jump off the building to commit suicide.
Boya looked into the distance, seemed to feel the deep sense of powerlessness of that year, and the uploader of the video on the radio side was also ready to bring more evidence to the live broadcast scene, but the only request was to let Boya and Kawaguchi be present at the same time, on the night of the live broadcast, the rumored real murderer wore a mask and a voice changer appeared in the public eye, he claimed that he also brought the follow-up of the video, but according to the assessment of the staff, this video is not suitable for broadcast on TV, and then Nakamura proposed to watch only in the studio. By a few of them to complete the final conclusion, lock the real murderer, in the video Boya clearly saw the whole process of Li Xiang's murder, it is certain that the sister is no longer alive, Boya burst into tears, but what he did not expect was that
At this time, Kawaguchi, who was sitting on the side, really jumped up and angrily beat up the real murderer, what was going on? In the chaos, Boya finally told the truth of the matter, it turned out that the so-called criminal Kawaguchi, in fact, was the boyfriend of his sister Rika, who jumped down from the upper floor that year, luckily survived, since then, he changed his appearance and identity, because they know the personality of the murderer and its arrogance, never tolerate others to come in their own name, once discovered, they will never sit idly by, so he publishes confession books in the name of the criminal Kawaguchi, wins the attention of the media, and creates influence. The purpose is to cooperate with the liberal arts,
Let the real murderer hiding in the shadows hook up, but never expected that this man with a hood who claimed to be a real murderer, under pressure from the media and the police, actually denied everything he said before, and it turned out that he was just entrusted by people on the Internet.
Directed this scene, and those videos are also someone behind the scenes to instruct him to post to the Internet, this time not only the hard-won clues are broken, the plan of the two people has also been made public, it seems that it is even more difficult to catch the real murderer, but the two still did not give up, continue to search for the information of the murderer, back home, Kawaguchi watched the live video, suddenly came up with a thought, people who have suffered major psychological trauma, is it possible to attach their own injuries to others? Thinking of this, Kawaguchi immediately drove to the target he guessed, it turned out that the place where he went was not somewhere else, it was the host Nakamura's home, Kawaguchi elaborated on the final speculation, from the beginning the first to question himself is Nakamura, the details of the case in the book is also Nakamura, and the fact that he once proposed to Rika is only known to his brother Boya.
In the previous live interview, Nakamura mentioned the details of Rika's marriage contract, and how to explain, if it is not the murderer, how can there be a video of Rika's marriage agency and all the victims in the family? In the face of a series of doubts and overwhelming evidence, Nakamura did not defend, he admitted that he was a war correspondent, once witnessed his colleagues die in front of him, and for him, the psychological trauma he had suffered was his eternal pain, Kawaguchi ripped off Nakamura's shirt, and his shoulder was left with the wounds of the gun that had been shot by Boya, the real culprit was finally confirmed at this moment, and Boya also found here according to the GPS of the vehicle, he pointed out that the case that Nakamura committed that year did not exceed the statute of limitations. Still subject to legal sanctions, because in the video of his sister Rika's murder, the original bright Tokyo Tower is pitch black, because the Tokyo Tower is turned off in the early morning every day, that is, when Nakamura killed Rika, it was the first day that Japan canceled the statute of limitations.
In prison, Nakamura confesses to his crimes, after which the police find Rika's bones near his villa, and Boya and Kawaguchi, who put aside their hatred, begin their new lives.
But that long 22 years of time and the pain buried in the bottom of the heart is a memory that can never be erased, in many criminal cases, it is not only innocent victims who have died, but also those relatives who are still alive but can never be forgotten, they are indulged in this dark memory and can not extricate themselves repeatedly, any forgiveness and forgiveness can not become a channel for self-redemption, you will never know the polite and funny person in front of outsiders, what kind of unknown past and buried in the heart of the darkness, How does he approach you step by step, killing people invisibly, tomorrow or accident which one will come early? This is still a difficult question to explain, and all we can do is to work harder to live the moment, fearlessly, without regrets.
