Late at night, by the river on the outskirts of New Taipei City, Taiwan,
A girl came here alone in a taxi.
Because it is too remote, the mobile phone has no signal,
There was silence all around, only the sound of the wind.
Perhaps frightened, she slowed down and carefully looked around.
Before she could see clearly, a black shadow suddenly burst out from behind her.
A stick, fell to the ground.
Before the girl could react, Shadow pulled back his pants and violently abused the girl.
The girl's resistance was ineffective,
After finishing the matter, Shadow used a knife to cut the girl's waist and split the body,
and smeared blood on the girl's nails,
Finally, the body was stuffed into the suitcase and thrown into the river.
...
The above paragraph is from a Taiwanese drama with a big reputation for a while.
Although it has no official publicity, few people have seen it on Douban.
But --
After its launch, it won N0.1 in the Douban Weekly Chinese Word-of-Mouth Drama List with its brain-burning plot, becoming the annual ratings champion of HBO Asia.
But whoever has seen it will be planted with grass;
Fine, not selling Guanzi, is this low-key but should not be underestimated Chinese new drama:
"The Third Layout"
Trinity of Shadows / 2021
To be honest, the title of this drama can dissuade people in minutes.
The title, in particular, is confusing at first glance.
The third layout refers to the third substation of the police station in the film.
The so-called "dust and sand confusion", derived from the Buddhist term, symbolizes the number of troubles in the world.
In this play, it probably refers to the complexity of people's hearts.
After all, everyone has a different past, and these pasts are piled up in our hearts like dust and sand, affecting our perspective and thinking about things.
Back to the point -
The show consists of 15 episodes, each of which is about 60 minutes long.
Produced by Hong Kong VIUTV and broadcast by HBO.
Oh, steady.
It should be known that HBO has always been known for its "yellow storm", and its works have always been known for their large scale and high quality.
Like in recent years, HBO's many cooperation works with Taiwan have always brought us a lot of surprises.
For example, the previous "The Distance Between Us and Evil" and "The Man Who Worked" both scored more than 9 points in Douban.
Highly recommend friends who have not seen it into the pit
Of course, the plot of the bull batch is not in vain without the actor's excellent acting skills.
Look closely at the three leading actors in the poster, all of them are powerful factions -
Zhuang Kaixun, nominated for the Film Emperor with "The Pursuit of witnesses";
This movie fried chicken recommended! Partners who have not seen it can poke the map jump link to understand
Zhang Rongrong, with works such as "Flying Backlight" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat", has been shortlisted for the Golden Horse Film three times.
Liu Guanting, the best supporting actor in golden horses, is a popular fried chicken in the Taiwanese film industry.
In short, rush this configuration, brush 10 episodes on a feeling: with a sense, can play.
At the beginning of the first episode, it is a high-energy scene.

The following does not contain spoilers for key plots, so you can read them with confidence
The dark light passed through the gap, and the girl's face flickered.
She hid in the closet, saw a pair of feet outside the door through the gap, and walked toward herself.
The girl's pupils were opening wider and wider, and her heartbeat was getting more and more rapid.
Finally, the man stopped in front of the closet, and the girl covered her mouth in fright.
The next second, a pair of blood-stained hands slammed open the closet...
Good guys, the opening scene is full of suspense.
Then, the picture turns —"
In the toilet, a woman was talking.
Her name is Nicole and she is a sitting lady.
Not wanting to get involved with drug addicts, Nicole wanted to quit the business she had just received.
After making the call, when she picked up her bag and prepared to leave first, she was stopped by Lin Mingjie, the rich second generation leader.
Nicole tried her best to resign, but the other party was a hard stubble, and she couldn't keep it, so she did it directly.
Pushed down, Nicole inadvertently touches the siren.
Soon, Xu Ziwei (Zhang Rongrong), the head of the criminal investigation team of the Third Branch of New Taipei City, Taiwan, brought someone to routinely inspect.
She is a righteous person, decisive and methodical, and hates the scumbag who bullies girls the most in her life.
During the examination, she saw the wound on Nicole's face at a glance.
In order to help Nicole, she took Lin Mingjie back to the police station in the name of drugs.
The attitude of the rich second generation is extremely arrogant, because he is well versed in the law, and there is a procurator's mother,
After every accident, he always used the law to help him exonerate himself.
This time, without exception, Lin Mingjie was just arrested, and the sub-bureau chief Huang Hongyue ordered the female protagonist to release her.
After all, the leader does not want to offend the prosecutor.
But Ziwei didn't want to let this bastard go like this, she wanted to help Nicole, but she was refused.
On the one hand, Nicole doesn't want to get into trouble.
On the other hand, she didn't trust the police at all.
Because in Nicole's eyes, the police are incompetent—
After all, the so-called police, after their frequent reports, could not even catch a pervert who stole their own underwear.
It's just that what Nicole doesn't know is,
The jealous Xu Ziwei really remembered this incident and used her private time to secretly help her investigate.
With the help of Nicole Neighbor, a Hong Kong student,
Xu Ziwei successfully caught the perverted underwear thief and wanted to find Nicole to identify him.
On several visits, she didn't see Nicole.
The phone didn't work, and the person never seemed to come back.
It wasn't until a few days later that a big case came out of the bureau.
Rape and murder of a girl.
That's right, the girl mentioned at the beginning, Nicole.
When everyone went out to investigate the case, the director was the only one who hid xu Ziwei,
And personally ordered, requiring Xu Ziwei to take immediate leave, absolutely not to touch this case,
Could it be that she was emotionally out of control as soon as she encountered a woman victim?
Not really --
In fact, it is because 23 years ago, the same murder occurred in the old house where Xu Ziwei lived.
And this time the rape, the method of dividing the body, and even the details of the fingernails being painted with blood,
It's exactly the same as the case 23 years ago.
And the most outrageous thing is that the murderer of that rape and murder case is Xu Ziwei's father.
But the father had already confessed his sins,
After 23 years, the same method of killing has returned.
Is someone imitating the crime?
Or is there something else hidden in the events of that year?
Old rules, point to the end;
The rest of the plot is up to you to find out for yourself.
spoiler-ending dividing line ------------
So far, The Third Layout has only been updated by two-thirds.
The content of the first eight episodes alone is related to four murders.
Interlocking texts, full online performances, wonderful and in-depth pursuit,
Every line in the process, every shot, savored, is a clue.
These detailed clues are connected one by one, and step by step they piece together the whole picture of the truth.
There is a kind of pleasure of playing the script to kill, and I can't stop at all.
All in all, "The Third Layout" is a brain-burning suspense drama worth looking forward to.
Whether it is the plot, production, performance, etc., the performance is remarkable.
I believe that as long as the screenwriter does not drop the chain, the top ten of the year in my heart is stable.
Well, I'm done, let's watch the show together
