Hello everyone, I am Liao Yu who loves to watch movies more sincerely.
In daily life, do you like to follow a certain logic to find the answer to a thing that you don't understand? Do you have an inexplicable curiosity about the unknown and puzzles, and like the feeling of seeing through the fog to find the truth? Or is there an addictive fascination with a detective, a supernaturally intelligent character like a detective?
If the answer is yes, then you must also like suspense movies, because the film that dares to type the words "suspense" or "reasoning" basically throws out suspense in the first ten minutes, grabbing the audience's heart, that is, making the audience's heart "hang" with the plot, and just doing this must be done with heart and brain. And the later this hanging heart is put down, it means that the plot of the movie is better, in other words, if the comedy is not good, it can be watched a hilarity, and if the suspense film is not good, it is really a lonely thing to watch, I believe that soon you will change the film.
So please watch today's content, because I chose ten domestic suspense movies with high ratings can greatly meet your preferences, the story is some of the tricks, some of the reversals are amazing, some of the reasoning is wonderful, in short, these ten high-rated domestic suspense movies have the charm of making people explore it thoroughly - the story thief is good, to ensure that you will not change the kind of film. Therefore, we do not interpret today, do not analyze any meaning and metaphor, and only enjoy the twists and turns of the story. Due to the length of the article, I divided the 10 films into two articles, and this one is ranked 10th to 6th.

2014 "Daytime Fireworks" | 7.5 points
What is the best point of suspense films? Undoubtedly, the solving case is one. Which of the most thrilling cases is solved? Undoubtedly, it is the kind of case in which there is a case, a case after another, and a case that does not see the final complete inability to know the truth. The movie "Daytime Fireworks" is such a story.
Movie "Daytime Fireworks"
In 1999, in a northeastern city where DNA technology was not yet widely available, Zhang Zili, a policeman played by Liao Fan, was investigating a case, and according to his IDENTITY, he found that the victim's name was Liang Zhijun.
Tension self-reliance
Soon the two suspects were locked, but they did not expect that when they were arrested, the two shots to resist arrest, resulting in the death of two policemen, and Zhang Zili killed the two and closed the case.
After the case was closed, he saw the wife of the victim, Liang Zhijun, Wu Zhizhen, played by Gui Lunmeng, buried the ashes of General Hui under a tree in front of the laundromat where he worked.
Wu Zhizhen
In 2004, Zhang Zili, who had retired from the police force, withered for five years in the security section of a factory because of that mistake. In the past five years, there have been two cases in which the criminal methods are similar to liang zhijun's murder, and the deceased are all in contact with Liang Zhijun's wife, Wu Zhizhen. Didn't his sacrificial companions lose their meaning at such a heavy price as he lost his job? Zhang Zili decided to investigate the case in his own way.
Since the victims were all in contact with Wu Zhizhen, he began to approach Wu Zhizhen and make himself the next target of the murderer. The result really led to the real murderer Wu Zhizhen's husband Liang Zhijun. According to Wu Zhizhen's confession, the victim in 1999 was actually murdered by her husband Liang Zhijun during a robbery. In order to evade the law, Liang Zhijun forged the illusion of his own murder, and since then he has disappeared from the world in anonymity. But he has been silently monitoring himself, and as long as he finds a man who is good with Wu Zhizhen, he will be murdered. She was fed up with such days and decided to cooperate with the police to arrest Liang Zhijun, and Liang Zhijun, who escaped, was killed. The case is finally solved! But is this the truth?
Really Liang Zhijun and Wu Zhizhen
Since it was the real murderer Liang Zhijun who was killed this time, the police naturally wanted to find Wu Zhizhen to return the ashes of the victim who was forged as "Liang Zhijun", but Wu Zhizhen said that he had been in the river. Zhang Zili recalled the scene when he saw Wu Zhizhen bury her ashes under the tree, and wondered in her heart, why did she lie? In the ongoing investigation, Zhang Zili learned from the owner of the laundromat that Wu Zhizhen washed and broke a very expensive leather coat five years ago, and the owner of the dress initially asked for huge compensation, but suddenly disappeared and has not come to pick up the clothes so far. Zhang Zili found the owner's wife again, and she said that one day her husband was called away by a young woman in the song hall and never came back, and he should have eloped with him who had broken down his relationship earlier.
Zhang Zili and Wu Zhizhen
According to Zhang Zili's judgment, this person should be the first to die, so he reported to the police. Wu Zhizhen also confessed the final truth, when she could not afford the leather coat, the owner forced herself to have sex with him, Wu Zhizhen killed him when she resisted, and her husband Liang Zhijun was the one who helped her cover up her crimes.
At the end of the story, Wu Zhizhen is a seemingly innocent snake and scorpion beauty, Zhang Zili is a former policeman eager to return to the team, and Liang Zhijun is a victim. But is that really the case? You can only come to your own judgment after you have seen the movie.

Detective Chinatown in 2015 | 7.6
Some people will say that it is hard to imagine that a comedy like "Detective Chinatown" can be in the top ten? There must be a reason for what happens! Although this movie is not perfect, it is undeniable that it is a superior work in a domestic suspense film, because the amount of information about "reasoning" in the film is huge, and each character is worth scrutinizing.
The superficial story of the movie "Tang Detective" will not be repeated, because it is not complicated, but why does this story attract many people who are sought after? Because of the classics. Putting aside the elements of actors, Spring Festival, comedy, and farce, this story actually comes from a classic pattern of trickery and reasoning, in other words, Benguet reasoning.
Movie "Detective Chinatown"
Benguet reasoning is a genre in speculative fiction, which can also be called authentic, orthodox, classical or traditional reasoning. Its biggest feature is that it is mainly based on meticulous logical reasoning and puzzle solving. The most common stories are ruse such as "murder in the chamber" or "murder on an island". In the story, the reader and the audience will generally get the same clue information as the detective, and will not deliberately conceal the key information, and its purpose is to satisfy the reader and the audience's self-thinking and the pleasure of solving the case. Moreover, in some Benge speculative fiction, there will be content that directly "challenges" the reader, such as the famous Ellery Quinn, who is often mentioned by Qin Feng in the movie "Tang Detective", who will tell the reader that "you have enough clues to solve the puzzle at this point" when the story is carried out, which is used to challenge the reader whether he can solve the puzzle like a detective.
The case in the story of the movie "Detective Chinatown", from the layout, the buried line, to the reasoning, the final reveal is the fairly pure Benge reasoning and the murder in the secret room. And from time to time to challenge the audience, Qin Feng's "Seeker's Chamber" mentioned when the mystery killer hid in the deceased's home a week ago actually refers to a case in the novel "The Secret Room Game" by Japanese mystery novelist Katsuno Jingwu. In the story, in order to erase the traces of entering and leaving the scene of the crime, the murderer once hid on the ceiling of the victim for a month.
This is similar to the "secret room murder case" method in the movie "Detective Chinatown". Only Tang Ren had entered the deceased's home alone, and the monitoring of the deceased's doorstep would automatically clear the record after a week, so the audience who had seen this story or thought of this possibility would deduce like Qin Feng that the murderer had been hiding under the bed of the deceased's son 7 days ago.
Finally, when Qin Feng asks Tang Ren to deduce si Nuo's adoptive father's "secret room killing" method, Tang Ren mentions the mystery novelist Jack Fodtree's "Lost Radium", in which the prisoner of the case is hiding in a suitcase and sneaking into the research institute to steal radium. There is also the Japanese mystery novelist Aozaki Yugo's "Stadium Killing", in which the murderer hides in a trolley and flees the scene.
The absconding method of the murderer in the movie "Tang Detective" uses the same classic hair method as in these Benge speculative novels.
Therefore, from the perspective of reasoning fans, look at the story of "Detective Chinatown", which has a variety of classic reasoning sections that are tacitly agreed by reasoning fans. And I think the charm of reasoning is not only in the reasoning itself, but also in the thousands of good and evil forms of human nature through reasoning. So I think that because the film is a very "pure" reasoning work under the surface of comedy, it can be in the top ten.

The 2019 Manslaughter | 7.7 points
The story of the movie "Manslaughter" is not the first time it has been remade. The earliest version should be written and directed by Indian director Gitu Joseph, the 2014 movie "Contest", which scored 8.2 points, and was praised as a film with no handsome men, no beautiful women, and the plot is close to life, but it is so incredible.
Movie "Contest"
Followed by the 2015 Indian self-remake into the movie "Manslaughter", the lead actor was upgraded to a first-line actress in the Indian film industry, Tabu played the police inspector General Mela, and the film queen Shiria Saran played the wife of the male protagonist, Nadini, the film is still wonderful, the actor is dazzling, and scored 8.5 points.
In the movie "Manslaughter", Tabu plays the police inspector General Mela
The plot of the three films is almost exactly the same, the male protagonist's daughter is violated by the son of the police inspector, and the mother kills someone in a fierce rebellion, although the male protagonist with only primary school education is extremely fond of watching movies, so he uses the knowledge learned from 1,000 movies to create an alibi for himself and his family to protect his innocent family.
Movie "Manslaughter"
This story tells us two truths, human beings always think that their strongest memory is vision, think that the picture they see will be firmly remembered in their minds, but ignore some specific to the content of the dialogue, the date and time will not be remembered so clearly, and the male protagonist is cleverly using this human memory trait, so that witnesses firmly remember the details of their family of four, but the mouth is saying another time, so that people will mix visual memory with auditory memory, Thus making you think that what you think is what you think has become a reality.
Another reason is that watching more movies can make up for the lack of education. So, don't hurry to find the film to see!

In 2013, "Witnessed by all" | 7.8 points
Sun Honglei plays Lin Tai, a local rich man, while his fiancée is murdered in the underground parking lot of his apartment. All the evidence points to his only daughter, Lin Mengmeng, played by Deng Jiajia.
Lin Mengmeng
Lin Tai hired a famous lawyer, and Zhou Li, played by Yu Nan, defended her daughter. Adequate financial resources, top defense attorneys, allowed the case to not progress in the direction that the prosecution believed.
Zhou Li
At the trial, new evidence appeared pointing to the new suspect, Lin Tai's driver Sun Wei, but the prosecutor Tong Tao, played by Aaron Kwok, felt that all this was Lin Tai wanted to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
Tong Tao
Sure enough, he not only found out that Lin Tai had an affair with the driver's wife, so he framed him, but also got a video of Lin Tai hitting and killing his fiancée. The evidence was overwhelming, and in court he used the radical method to force Lin Tai to confess to prison.
Lin Tai with the driver's wife
Lin Tai, who is handcuffed, said when meeting with lawyer Zhou Li: "The current situation makes everyone satisfied, life is alive, there are always things more important than life, if it is you, you will be like this." ”
Lin Tai forged the scene
But the skeptical lawyer Zhou Li found through careful investigation and analysis of the video that Lin Tai had made an identical murder scene to help his daughter clear his suspicions, including the driver and the driver's wife were also the people who assisted Lin Tai. And all this did not escape the eyes of the prosecutor, he found the problem and also received a call from Lin Mengmeng who turned himself in.
In the face of the law, love can never be greater than reason. From the opening mystery to many reversals, to the final reasonable ending. The story points out the theme of the film, love has the right to tolerance, but the law does not. It is definitely a high-quality "court reasoning" film work.
Zhou Li suspected that the driver's wife was lying
I suspect that the director of this film, Fuyuki, must be a fan of Japanese mystery writer Keigo Higashino, because the story of "Witnessed by all" draws on the essence of "The Dedication of Suspect X". The essence of this is not how meticulous and watertight the process of reasoning is, but in the focus of the story on the concern for human nature. The story of dying for a loved one, the former is about the genius mathematician Tetsuya Ishigami sacrificing himself for the woman he has a crush on, and the latter is about a father sacrificing himself for his daughter.

Sherlock on the Plains in 2019 | 7.9
Not many people should have seen this movie, as a suspense film that can rank 6th, I think its most distinctive features are the "earthy" double detective and the "earth law" style case solving mode.
Film Sherlock on the Plains
The film is supervised by Rao Xiaozhi, the director of the ongoing Spring Festival film "The Crowd", and the story of newcomer director Xu Lei seamlessly embeds the classic reasoning into the current situation of life in rural China. The actors are all villagers, and the protagonist is his father, an authentic rural uncle in Hebei.
Three peasant uncles
The case is also very small, looking for the driver who caused the accident. But the purpose of solving the case is very intriguing, Hebei Plain farmer uncle Shuhe suffered a car accident, the police can not take medical insurance reimbursement, in case the murderer can not find their own need to bear a lot of medical expenses. If you don't call the police, the murderer will go unpunished.
Under the dilemma, the peasant uncle Chaoying and ZhanYi made a decision: first solve the case, and then call the police... So they embarked on a ridiculous journey of "solving the case".
Sherlock in the title refers to the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, which everyone knows, and the story takes place in the Hebei Plain, so the title is called "Sherlock on the Plain". The film won the Best Film Text Award at the 13th FIRST Youth Film Festival in 2019, and received a comment of "Big Coincidence".
The process of solving the case will not be repeated here, so to speak, after the release of the movie, there are many comments that compare "Sherlock on the Plains" to the rural version of "Detective Chinatown", if you like Detective Tang, you must go to see this one, if Detective Tang created a new genre of "Chinatown Combined Detective", then I think the film created a new genre of "Country Detective".

In 2018, "Peerless" | 8.1 points
This is a film that takes the technique of "narrative" to the extreme, what is "narrative"? That is, narrative trickery,
It refers to the author's use of article structure or textual skills to deliberately conceal or mislead certain facts to the reader, until the truth is finally revealed, so that the reader feels an indescribable sense of consternation, which is the opposite of "intrinsic reasoning".
Movie "Peerless"
Simply put, there are several common practices:
First, manipulate things in time and space, mixing things that happen at different times or things that happen in different places, so that the audience thinks that the development of things is continuous.
Second, using identity to mislead the audience, such as gender misleading, and doing things by the same person to mislead the audience into thinking that different people are doing it, or vice versa.
Third, there is the use of the author, the difference in the cognition of the characters in the story and the audience to mislead, such as narrating the story in the first person, but in the end the first person is the murderer, which is also recognized as the most egregious narrative trick.
The movie "Peerless" is to use the second and third ways respectively, in the story of Aaron Kwok played by Li Qing to the police and the audience to make up a non-existent painter to hide their true identity, the film begins with Li Qian's narrative, the audience mistakenly thinks that he was coerced by the painter to make counterfeit money, and finally found that this narrator is the real criminal brain.

In 2015, "Burning Heart in the Sun" | 8.2 points

For seven years, they hid in Hiding, cautiously surviving and working together to raise the orphans of their victims. The case of the extermination of the door has also become a pending case.
Movie "The Burning Heart of the Sun"
Seven years later, the policeman Yi Guchun, played by Duan Yihong, who had tracked down the door case, was wrong, or fatefully appeared next to them, and the legal net was restored without leakage, and finally the three of them were ambushed. But the movie does not end here, and this suspense must be seen in the movie to be shocking enough.
Director Cao Baoping said that in the process of adaptation, he could not accept the results of the three people being murderers, because the three of them were normal students before, and without doing anything in the adulterous criminal section, they suddenly killed the five mouths, and also cleaned up the scene, leaving a fingerprint, almost no evidence, this is not established. Therefore, a fourth person is set up, and he is the real murderer. He said that the story itself was cruel enough, cruel enough, so it would be better to have a warm ending.

In 2017, "Burst into Silence" | 8.3 points
The story takes place in a remote and barren mountain village, Zhang Baomin, played by Song Yang, is a miner with aphasia, and one day his son Leizi disappeared, so he took his son's photo and embarked on the road to find his son.
Movie "Burst into Silence"
The truth is that the mine owner Chang Wannian, played by Jiang Wu, has accidentally shot Leizi with a bow and arrow and forced his lawyer Xu Wenjie to bury Leizi, who may still be alive at that time, in a cave. Later, after Chang Wannian discovered that the bow and arrow that killed Leizi was missing, combined with Xu Wenjie's evasion at that time, he believed that Xu Wenjie hid the evidence of his crime and wanted to denounce him, so he kidnapped his daughter and threatened him.
However, Zhang Baomin, who was looking for a son, mistakenly saved Xu Wenjie's daughter from hiding in the cave where Leizi was buried, and when he faced Zhang Baomin, who saved his daughter, and saw the cave, guilt, trepidation, and shock all kinds of emotions surged into Xu Wenjie's heart, but when he confirmed that Zhang Baomin did not know that Leizi was buried in this cave, he hurriedly picked up his daughter and left, and did not dare to look at Baomin.
At the end of the film, when the police ask him if he has anything to say, the sentence "no" makes the hearts of all the audiences cold in the final half.
Where is zhang Baomin's son in the movie? This question has always "hung" the audience's heart, and the answer given at the end shows a kind of horror of the dark side of human nature, and also points out the theme of the title of "bursting into silence".

1980 Murder 405 | 8.4
As the first detective film in New China, the movie "405 Murder" is definitely a relatively unpopular suspense film, which is both contemporary and beyond the limitations of the times. The level of production 41 years ago is viewed today, and the story is also very subtle and bold.
Movie "405 Murder"
One night, when Ding Juan went to see her boyfriend Li Liang, she found that he had died in the room. Chen Minghui, a detective of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau played by Zhong Xinghuo, and others found that the victim had a small bird feather on the wound, a clear fingerprint on the teacup, and the notebook wrote - Ah San, I will never let you go!
Zhong Xinghuo plays Chen Minghui, a scout of the Donghai City Public Security Bureau
Based on fingerprints, it was determined that the suspect was Fang Mingshan, a photographer of Donghai TELEVISION station played by Yan Xiang, but the feathers from the unique acacia bird in Huangshan were suspicious because the suspect had never been to Huangshan. Through the confession of an eyewitness and further investigation, a man named Lin Fugen had been to huangshan to hunt birds, so it entered the scout's sight.
Yan Xiang plays Fang Mingshan, a photographer at Donghai TV
After a series of investigations, Chen Minghui found that Fang Mingshan was deliberately framed as a murderer by a person with considerable energy in order to kill his mouth. And just when the truth was about to come out, Chen Minghui himself was "assigned" by some force. But he risked his life to save Fang Mingshan, who was sentenced to death, and then turned himself in to wait for the release. The story ends abruptly here.
This old movie, whether in the conception of the plot and the portrayal of the characters, is very brilliant, especially the reasoning form of the "old fan" is not childish at all, and it is very flavorful. It is also worth mentioning that the policeman Chen Minghui, who is interpreted by actor Zhong Xinghuo, is very special in this story, and only audiences who understand that era can taste the details of the movie and understand the origin of its high score.
—— 1st place ——
In 2014, "Labyrinth of Hearts" | 8.7
The narrative technique of the movie "Labyrinth of Hearts" is too exquisite, it can be said that this is a movie similar to the Coen brothers' "Blood Labyrinth" + "Ice Blood Storm", a murder, multi-character, multi-angle narrative, so that the whole story is a bit like a circle, and finally the end is connected.
Movie "Labyrinth of Hearts"
A charred corpse suddenly appeared in a poor mountain village, and after the village chief Xiao Weiguo led someone to bury the body, the family first believed that the deceased was his missing daughter, and then after confirming that it was not, he was also considered to be the husband of the "village flower" in the village who went out to work. A seemingly unrelated group of people were connected to each other by the appearance of a corpse, and when the whole village fell into panic, the village chief turned himself in.
Village Chief Xiao Weiguo
His son Xiao Zongyao was forced to flee after killing a leper from the same village during a dispute, but when he wanted to return to the village to turn himself in, he found that the case had been closed.
Xiao Zongyao, the son of the village chief
The ending is the beginning of all the stories, and the director cleverly arranges three days and two nights, three families, two murders and various coincidences through flashback interludes, telling a story that "no one can say". The story is actually not difficult to understand, but the way to tell the story is really wonderful. When watching this movie, you may initially fall into a state of confusion about the plot, mainly the multi-angle character narrative technique, so that the audience will not be able to detect who the real protagonist is at once. But it's clearly more content to tell a good story, try to be watertight, and convince the audience that it's a good story.
After the full text, if you think it is well written, then pay attention to a thumbs up.
