Recently watched the TV series "Who is the Murderer" starring Zhao Liying Xiaoyang, I have some ideas, take it out and share it with you.
The story is that a number of young women in Haizhou City were killed, Leng Bing (played by Xiao Yang) was responsible for the investigation, on this day they received a mysterious phone call saying that someone in the family courtyard may be killed, Leng Xiaobing and another police detective went to investigate, Leng Bing and the murderer came into direct contact, but because of cowardice failed to shoot and caused themselves to be stunned, another police detective was killed, the murderer killed and fled, and the murderer did not commit a crime in the next few years, and the case reached an impasse. Later, the last deceased student, Natsuki, was admitted to the police academy for a graduation internship and came to Haizhou to investigate the case with Leng Bing, and as the investigation deepened, it was found that Shen Yu's (played by Zhao Liying) father Shen Haiyang had a major suspicion.
The rhythm of the early stage of the TV series is still OK, but in the later stage, many things are not coherent. I went to find the original work, the author is Kong Youyou, after reading the book to clarify all the doubts. And explain the explanations that are not in the TV series.
Plot
One
The screenwriter changed Xia Jinlan's identity to Natsuki's teacher, which I can't understand, why can't I write directly, and in the original work, Natsuki went under the bed to find something and watched her mother being cut off and bleeding, Xia Jinlan also warned her son not to come out, and the drama version only said that Natsuki was in the attic, did not find the murderer, and then Natsuki's crazy behavior was untenable, since he wanted to create an atmosphere why he had to cover it. That's a big failure.
Two
In order to reflect Shen Yu's psychological control, the drama version infinitely enlarges one or two of the small cases, but it dominates the crowd and affects the development of the overall plot. Especially the case of the husband PUA wife, which has a woolen relationship with the plot, actually uses a lot of space to describe, just to prove that Shen Yu is his attending doctor, to prove that Shen Yu has love, Xiao Yang has feelings, how can the TV series not shoot love there is nothing to shoot?
Three
The drama version of the story is another reunion ending, Shen Yu is imprisoned, the murderer is fufa, Natsuki can avenge the snow hate, and Leng Bing put down his psychological baggage. This ending cannot be said to be bad, but there are no bright spots.
All in all, this drama is incomparable with the previous "The Hidden Corner". When I watched it, I kept praying that the plot would not collapse, that it would not collapse, and alas, it would fail to live up to a piece of good intentions.
Four
Whether it is a drama version or a book, there is a huge loophole, Shen Haiyang but if he has a little brain, he will not be mistaken for a murderer, when he tracks Hu Shanquan, he wants to wear the same clothes as him for Mao, this kind of cosplay will inevitably be misunderstood, and writing an anonymous letter can also be ah. At the beginning, there was such a big loophole, it was better to directly write that Shen Haiyang was a vicious murderer, calling the police to provoke before killing, and letting his daughter destroy all his evidence.
Five
Whether it is a drama version or a book version, the heavy responsibility of the murderer is placed on a mentally abnormal person, he can calmly kill people without being discovered by the police, calmly hide for more than ten years, and calmly control a daughter who graduated from college psychology.
Characters
Human nature does not stand the test.
The portrayal of the characters in this book is quite remarkable, Leng Bing has been living in guilt and self-blame because he failed to shoot the murderer in time, Natsuki witnessed his mother being killed and always wanted to avenge his mother, Shen Yu has always thought that his father Shen Haiyang is a murderer and wants to find a scapegoat. All three have their own purposes.
Everyone in the book has selfish intentions, natsuki has lost his mind to avenge his mother, and this obsession makes him leave his grandfather's body alone in the northeast mountain forest, but the drama version does not introduce it. I don't want to persuade Natsuki to be kind, not to go through the suffering of others, not to persuade others to be kind.
Leng Bing, because of his cowardice, hid the fact that he did not dare to shoot, which only he and Natsuki knew, and he had been masochistic in order to make his conscience passable, and the more cruel he was to himself, the better he could make his conscience feel better.
Shen Yu has been thinking about his father, so that his father can clear his suspicions, he will not hesitate to kill people, and then find a scapegoat.
Shen Haiyang broke with Hu Shanquan in order not to let Hu Shanquan hurt his daughter. I suspect that he originally knew that Hu Shanquan had killed people, but why didn't he report the crime directly to the police, I guess he wanted the police to catch the murderer who was committing the crime at once, and kill him with one blow.
Although Shen Haiyang appears in the book from the mouth of others, I am most impressed by this character, he should actually be the initiator of this farce, since he taught Hu Shanquan, let Hu Shanquan recognize words and contact society, learn to live, but after the birth of his daughter, he alienated him, in Shen Haiyang's eyes, he Hu Shanquan is an abnormal person, I originally taught him in addition to the duties of a doctor, I am afraid that it is also because of boredom and good teacher. In fact, if you don't teach Hu Shanquan to read at the beginning. The harm he did to society was far less than that of later generations. I remembered a story: in ancient times, two people rowed across the river, found a person on the shore to ask for help, A agreed, B did not agree, at the insistence of A, B agreed. When walking to the middle of the river. A group of people chased after him and tried to catch the man. A was ready to throw the man down, and B stood up and said: At the beginning, I insisted on not saving because I was worried that this situation would occur, and now that I have been saved, I must persist to the end. If Shen Haiyang, as always, treats Hu Shanquan and treats him as his own family, will there be no later plot?
Hu Shanquan is an extremely unloving person, he is an illegitimate son, his grandmother raised him, but the two old men died in the house, Hu Shanquan was like a person who had nothing to do, he was considered mentally ill by the villagers and sent to the hospital, but he improved under the treatment of doctor Shen Haiyang, because he was inseparable from Shen Haiyang, and gradually regarded Shen Haiyang as his family, thinking that Shen Haiyang belonged to him, but Shen Haiyang got married and abandoned him. He wanted to find another relative, and those poor young women became his targets, but once he knew that those girls were married, his hopes were shattered, so he went on a killing spree, using muscle relaxants to anesthetize wrists and bleed them to make them smile and watch the alarm clock (put by Hu Shanquan, sent by Shen Haiyang) and leave this world. But I have always wondered why he let go after killing Shen Haiyang, presumably because he had a little conscience awakening in his heart, or that he had found a new target __ Shen Yu, a person who has been seeking love all his life, does not hesitate to hurt others by cruel means, how sad. How pathetic.
Advantages
First, the detailed description of psychology is very good, especially the description of Leng Xiaobing's mental journey is very well described.
Gradually, a blinding chasing light illuminated his body, and he found himself standing naked on the stage, and wherever he went, the light chased after him. He wanted to get rid of it, but there was nowhere to escape."
The grasp of the plot of the second.
The author first pointed all the clues to Shen Haiyang, and when the reader also thought that the murderer was him, he found Shen Haiyang's bones, which was unexpected. This is where the author's brilliance lies.
postscript
All in all, I still like this novel, and the prototype of the story should be the silver case in history. I couldn't help but think of the case of Diao Aiqing's broken body, hoping that this case would one day be revealed to the truth and give justice to the deceased.
