On May 18, 2021, Japanese actor Masakazu Tamura passed away. Speaking of which, the Chinese audience is most familiar with his work, which should still be "Furuhata Rensaburo".
Written by Yuki Mitani and starring Masakazu Tamura, Renzaburo Furuhata was filmed in 43 episodes (this chapter + special edition) from 1994 to 2008.
The drama tells the story of a criminal police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division. The protagonist, Renzaburo Furuhata, is a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division. He is a police officer who does not wear a tie, never carries a gun, and even trembles at the sight of a gun, but he can solve all kinds of strange cases, and his two famous sayings are: "There is no real perfect crime in the world" and "If you want to commit a crime in front of me, it is like magic in front of a magician.". Isn't it a drag? [Teeth]
Each episode of the play is written in a separate composition, and the play adopts a fixed form: first, Furuhata introduces the opening statement of the case, then discloses the situation of the prisoner's crime in flashbacks, and then depicts Furuhata determining his suspicion from the conversation and evidence with the prisoner, forcing the prisoner to confess. This form was still relatively rare in China at that time.
The show focuses on how to catch them, rather than the usual who did it (who is the murderer), how did it (trick), or why did it (motive). Therefore, if there is a flashback reasoning work in Japan, it is often called "Detective Colombo or Furuhata Renzaburō style", and this work is also called "Japanese version of Detective Colombo" (Japanese: 和制コロンボ).
After watching this drama, you can also have a more thorough understanding of the morality and self-interest of the Japanese elite. The cameos in the play were also well-known actors at the time.
Most of the bad guys in the film were twisted by Furuhata to the police, but there are exceptions, such as the episode of the goddess Suzuki Hosami, who recalls the murder of her husband, was seen through the ruse of poisoning by Furuhata, and finally escaped legal punishment because it was in the United States. However, maybe the director deliberately took care of the goddess? Ha ha
