In homicides, 90% of the victims are killed by people who know each other, and if the murderer and the victim do not have interpersonal relations and have no motive for killing, it is difficult to be suspected of being caught, so there is an "exchange killing".

Influence
"Influence" is a story about friendship between women, the protagonist trio are all female high school students, touching on a lot of dark and incredibly real social topics: bullying, pedophilia, juvenile killing, but the final theme returns to female mutual aid.
The three kill each other for reasons of friendship, protection, jealousy, and blackmail. Who killed whom, the film was shot clearly, there was no suspense. The suspense lies in why?
Writer Yumi (played by Nanami Suzuki) received a letter from a reader one day saying that she hoped the writer would write a novel about her wonderful life.
The writer is written by a woman named Yuri (played by Ōtsuka Ningning), and the writer decides to meet her.
Yuri told Yumi that she and her two friends had killed people to protect each other, and she began to tell in detail about these years.
The story originally takes place 35 years ago, when 16-year-old Yuri (Kana Hashimoto) was still in high school.
Yuri comes from a relatively happy family, she is also well-behaved, is a well-behaved student in school, but her peaceful life is completely changed by the intersection with two friends.
Yuri had a playmate, Riko (Ai Yoshikawa), as a child.
Lizi has a complicated family, and her mother prefers sons to daughters, allowing her to sleep with her grandfather, which leads to her being molested by her own grandfather in childhood.
Therefore, Yuri's mother asked her daughter to break off relations with Riko, and the two had almost no contact since then.
After entering high school, Tomori has been following her mother's request and keeping pace with the public so that she will not be abandoned by others, while Riko walks with the bad boys, smoking and drinking.
Riko is bitter that Yuri didn't come out in time to rescue her.
Yuri also blames herself, so when she sees the new transfer student Makoto (played by Aoi Wakasa) being squeezed out, she lends a helping hand, and the two become good friends.
One day, on the way home with Zhenfan, a man suddenly came out to kidnap Zhenfan, and this scene triggered Yuri's regret that he and his family were watching from the sidelines at that time.
She wants to make up for the severe selfishness of this community and rushes forward to stab her fate.
The man died, and the police did not find Yuri and Mahokazu, because the next day Riko went to the police station and turned herself in, saying that she had killed someone.
That is to say, Lizi helped Youli to top the crime, and the reason she did this was that she hoped that Yuli would help her kill her grandfather.
After witnessing Riko's encounter, he turned a blind eye to his own redemption and planned to help Riko kill his grandfather, thus opening the prelude to the serial killing of female high school students.
Later in the story, from high school to marriage, they also worked together to kill multiple people, and each time they said "let's not contact again", but they became closely linked.
Three girls in good old age, in order to protect each other from harm, willing to put themselves to death, are they really friendship, or use each other to kill for themselves?
There is also a suspense that the writer found that he was studying in the same high school as the three girls, was a student of the same level, and yuri asked her to write a book for what purpose.
The plot is compact without the slightest drag, the whole process is high-energy and always reverses in unexpected places. Layers of suspense are enough to arouse the audience's desire to chase it in one breath.
Many people may not understand why Yuri and Zhenfan did not call the police when they were kidnapped by men in the first place, so that all tragedies could be avoided.
Buya Jun will talk about the background of this drama, which is also the root of the tragedy that Buya Jun feels - the family environment of the three people.
At the beginning of the shot, the scene sweeps through the neighborhood where the three teenage girls live several times. The building they live in is an ancient matchbox apartment complex, and the lighting of the house is not good, giving people a feeling of isolation.
Crowd bullying and collective exclusion are part of the evil nature of human beings. Small, gated communities cannot tolerate outliers, and as long as they are different, they will be excluded. Adults whispered and cold arrows behind their backs, and the high school campus was more direct.
Neighbors have close contacts, and people can't help but be curious to find out the secrets behind each door, but they don't want to get into trouble, they just want to watch the pain of others. In such an environment, gossip is more terrifying than killing.
Hurt by society again and again, disappointed in adults, let the three girls Zhenfan, Riko and Yuri finally understand: "In this dirty world we live in, no one will come to save us." ”
"All the adults are not trustworthy, we are on our own." Girls use this belief to rationalize their murderous sins.
The main plot of "Influence" is somewhat reminiscent of Keigo Higashino's "White Night", in which the male and female protagonists also protect each other as each other's armor, and also "complete" each other.
However, the Yuri of "Influence" is simpler and more complicated than the heroine of "White Night", Karasawa Yukiho. Compared to Karasawa Yukiho's utter ruthlessness, she has always had the attributes of a kind girl.
Finally, speaking of actors, this time Kana Hashimoto reinvented herself.
Hashimoto Kana, who was born as a female idol, has the face of an angel and has acted in a lot of comic pure love films in the past.
Later, after the transformation of director Yuichi Fukuda, the "Road of Yan Art" was opened.
Whether it is beauty or spoof, the little angel is cute, this time, she took off the "cute" label, and is no longer through the spoof, the use of human settings, and no longer exaggerated expression of blessing, this time she, really to a road to the actor.
Ai Yoshikawa, who plays Riko, is also an actor that Bunya Jun cares about, she is a child actress, who used to use the stage name "Rikoto Yoshida", and starred in "oh my girl" when she was a child.
