"Is there anything special about driving a jeep?"
"Spacious."
"It's convenient to take the girl home, right?"
"Yes."
"Two girls were killed yesterday afternoon, you know?"
"I killed people."
The final case of "True Detective Lies" is a serial murder case committed by a criminal gang composed of Zhao Donghui, Xue Tao and Shen Peng.
Ling Ran of the criminal investigation team found the traces of the criminal suspect based on the clue of the online ride-hailing car.
In order to prevent the snake from hitting the grass, Ling Ran came to Zhao Donghui's bookstore and planned to knock on the side, but he did not expect Zhao Donghui to admit it directly.
"Wouldn't it be more chilling if a murderer came up and admitted that he had killed someone?"
This is Zhao Donghui's original words, and it is also the reason why he will admit that he is the murderer.
In the plot setting, Zhao Donghui is a psychopath.
He killed his father when he was fifteen years old and later fell in love with the thrill of killing.
After his release from prison, he conspired with two others to plan a number of cases, of which Zhao Donghui was responsible for planning and Xue Tao and Shen Peng were responsible for execution.
The perverted personality stems from the abuse of his father when he was a child.
Zhao Donghui was born into a wealthy merchant family, but his father was an alcoholic and violent man for many years. He was abused by his father from an early age, and even beaten very badly on several occasions. If it wasn't for his mother desperately protecting him, I'm afraid Zhao Donghui would have died.
Living in an abnormal family environment for a long time has gradually distorted Zhao Donghui's psychology.
For suspense dramas, the murderer's motive is very important, which directly affects whether the plot can develop normally.
In "True Detective Lies", Zhao Donghui's psychological distortion is the root cause of many murders, and the other two are also his.
Therefore, Zhao Donghui's motivation is to give explanations to a series of cases.
But in the play, compared to the previous cases, the handling here is extremely perfunctory.
After Xue Tao was arrested, he confessed three people with different criminal motives. The other two did not care first, and Zhao Donghui's motives alone were very problematic.
"Zhao Donghui is a child, what purpose can he have?" Loves the thrill of killing. ”
When I heard this statement, I felt that my brain was blank, which was not obviously played by the screenwriter and director.
Zhao Donghui's transformation is like this: his mother is abused to death - Zhao Donghui kills his father - and goes to prison (in the process of liking to kill?). ）
What is this?
The front is to avenge the mother, kill people on impulse, how can the second half become like to kill people again? This jump is too big.
In particular, he later targeted strangers, which was not at all the same as the first time he killed someone. Zhao Donghui didn't even do it directly, what stimulation could he get?
Where is this explained by only one "psychopath"? Not to mention that psychopathy must also have a reasonable formation process.
In prison, Zhao Donghui did not regret killing people, nor did he have the happiness of escaping from the clutches of the devil, but finally came to a conclusion that he liked to kill?
It can only be said that the screenwriter is very good, put on a "psychopathic" name, and what he does is reasonable.
If you extend further, you will find that the setting of Zhao Donghui's first killing is particularly confusing.
"When he was fifteen years old, he witnessed his mother being tortured to death by his father in order to save him, and Zhao Donghui killed his father in a fit of rage."
This is the situation described by qin xinyi, a policewoman.
According to this version, the situation should be like this: when Zhao Donghui was abused by his father, his mother came to protect him, and then the father killed his mother. Zhao Donghui, who saw this situation, killed his father in a fit of rage.
In Ling Ran's mouth, it became like this:
"When you were fifteen, your father locked you up in a little dark room and tortured you for three days. After you escaped, you learned that your mother was also tied inside and had long since died. Since then, your spirit has lost its reliance and killed your father with your own hands in a fit of rage. ”
In this version, it becomes that he is first imprisoned in a small black room and tortured, and only after Zhao Donghui escapes does he know that his mother is dead. And a "since then" shows that "the death of the mother" and "Zhao Donghui killed the father" are a long time apart.
This inconsistent setting is fatal to the damage to the plot.
As a murderer, Zhao Donghui, if there is even a problem with the process of forming a perverted personality, then anything he does later because of his perverted personality is unreasonable.
What's more, the several murders committed after being released from prison are not in themselves explained by a "personality pervert".
