Movie "The Hunt"
Stumbling upon the "ancient" film "The Hunt" immediately evokes memories of an era.
In 1978, as the first foreign film to land in China after the Cultural Revolution, Ken Takakura's "Pursuit" caused a huge sensation in China, and many young people began to imitate the lonely and silent "Duqiu". Ken Takakura thus became an idol of Chinese mainland generation.
Ducho Dong people
Due to the age of the release, the classic has long been dusted by the memory of a generation.
In my vague memory, the biggest impression left on me by "The Hunt" is not the excitement of the plot, but the mysterious drugs and medical-related terms involved in the film: like atropine, nerve blockers, hallucinations, removal of white matter, drug-induced mind control, drug human experiments, etc., which were simply mysterious mysteries in that era.
Review the plot and suspense of the story ...
When the Tokyo Prosecutor's Office Criminal Prosecutor Du Qiu Dong was accidentally identified as the perpetrator of a burglary and rape case while investigating a criminal case, Du Qiu, who thought it was a misunderstanding, did not care, but with the identification of the second person, Du Qiu felt the seriousness of the matter.
Yokoji Keiji identifies Duqiu
The lost village sheriff of the National Police Agency led a search of Duchu's residence and found cash hidden under the carpet and the ring lost by the informant. Duchu suddenly understood that someone was designing to frame him.
Unable to provide evidence of his absence at the time of the crime, coupled with the physical evidence found from his residence, Du Qiu felt a terror that he had never felt before, and under the impatience of all kinds, Du Qiu chose to flee.
Duchu had no choice but to flee
Health and Welfare Province Medical Technician Chaoyun Zhongzhi accidentally died in the home, the cause of death is atropine poisoning death, at the same time poisoning died of the monkeys raised by the deceased, there are atropine liquid residues on the palms of the deceased and monkeys, forensic identification of the place of taking medicine is the place of the crime, but there is no container containing atropine at the scene. Except for the broken spider webs in the air, there was no evidence of any third person present at the scene. After being identified by the prosecution as a suicide case, only Duchu believes that the deceased was killed by him, and Duchu inadvertently comes into contact with the essence of the case, causing the enemy behind him to design revenge.
Du Qiu, who did not have any enemies, wanted to understand that the person who framed him must be related to the criminal case he was investigating.
So the first thing he did after he escaped was to find the person who framed him, the first to report his theft and rape.
After painstaking efforts to find Yokorogadai, it is found that Gadai was killed at home just before his arrival, and he immediately became the biggest murderer suspected. Since then, the end of the world has also begun.
Kayo Yokoji dies
During the escape, she happens to save the farmer's daughter, Mayumi, who is being chased by a bear. In the face of the tall and handsome Duchu, Mayumi fell in love at first sight and, despite her father's objections, helped Duchu evade the police and looked for clues and evidence to frame Duchu.

Maumi assists Duchu in his escape
The Investigation by the National Police Department found that the second person who reported Du qiu, Yokoji Keiji, was selling small animals and insects for medical experiments, and had a business connection with Toho Pharmaceutical, while Toho Pharmaceutical was inextricably linked to the deceased medical technician Chaoyun Tadashi.
With the twists and turns of the story, the links are tightly linked, and the steps are frightening, and finally Du Qiu even risks being treated as a living experiment to enter a mental hospital, and a shocking case gradually surfaces.
Duchu was forced to take medication in a mental hospital
Toho Pharmaceutical developed and produced a new drug nerve blocker A.Z, for the treatment of mental patients, on the basis of no animal experiments, the company's sales department manager Sakai Hiroyoshi and the director of the psychiatric hospital, Donta, together with the patient to do living experiments.
The cruelty of the human body as an experimental animal directly led to the death of four people, and the medical technician of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Chao Yun Zhongzhi, found out the inside story of the matter and threatened to expose it.
Therefore, if Chaoyun is not removed, the pharmaceutical company's experiments with the human body will soon be revealed.
Live human trials in psychiatric hospitals
In order to kill Asayun and create the illusion of suicide, they take advantage of Asahun's weakness in neurasthenia and childlessness, and are dependent on the pet monkeys they keep, and devis a clever murder.
Hiroyoshi Sakai, a pharmacologist and manager of a pharmaceutical company, had found through animal experiments that birds that caused hallucinations by feeding cocaine were interested in the smoke of cigarettes, and then found that in fact, birds mistakenly regarded smoke as spider webs, because spiders are good nutritional supplements.
The monkeys raised by Chaoyun were also mentally demented and had no appetite, so they fed the monkeys to Chaoyun with cocaine to make them hallucinate, and found that the monkeys were also extremely interested in smoke. Thus, a conspiracy was formed along with the murder of Chaoyun and the monkey.
Murder Plan:
1. Let Chaoyun and the pet monkey die at the same time, and die of the same drug, so that Chaoyun's suicide can be rationalized;
2. There is no evidence of the presence of a third party, and the two died by swallowing the drug by themselves;
3. The place of death is the home of the deceased, and the time is in the morning;
4. The cause of death is poisoning by swallowing atropine.
Logical reasoning for the above purposes:
5, malnourished monkeys are interested in spiders (spider silk), so monkeys have the instinct to touch and swallow spider webs;
6. Induce persuasion to the clouds, the dew in the spider web is beneficial for the treatment of neurasthenia, and at the same time can improve reproductive function;
7. In the morning, spray colorless and odorless medicinal liquid atropine on the spider web.
8. After Chaoyun and the pet monkey find the spider web, they touch the spider web at the same time and swallow the "dew drop";
Preparations for the above purposes:
9. Buy experimental spiders from Yokoji Keiji and put them into the courtyard of the Chaoyun family one night in advance;
10. In the early morning, after the spider is webed, a spray device is used to spray the atropine stock solution in the spider web and kill the spider.
Murder Result:
11. Chaoyun and the monkey died at the same time, without any evidence of murder by a third party, and were judged to be suicide by the police.
Left behind doubts:
12. Since it is a suicide, there should be a container containing atropine liquid, but it has never been found at the scene.
Prosecution's doubts:
13. Only the young inspector Duchu believed that he had killed him, and carefully surveyed every corner, including the spider web, and thus launched a secret tracking and investigation.
Duqiu's suspicion and investigation caused a huge panic in Toho Pharmaceutical, and in order to prevent the investigation from proceeding, they bought Yokoji Keiji and his wife, framed and accused Duqiu of burglary, robbery and rape.
This is the scene where the story begins.
As a pharmaceutical company, the continuous production of new drugs is the vitality of the company's survival, so it is a silent command to do everything possible to produce new drugs. The research and development of a new drug needs to go through animal experiments to clinical trials, and then to clinical promotion before it can be mass-produced, with a long time and huge funds, so directly using live experiments has become a shortcut for unscrupulous manufacturers.
Forever fugitive
Throughout the story, the ups and downs, crises everywhere, the meticulous storyline, the strong logical reasoning, the romantic love interspersed, the mysterious and cruel drug human experiments, reflect the chaos of Japanese society between officials and businessmen, law and justice, interests and temptations, human nature and wolf nature.
