Forensic Pioneer IV

In addition, some time ago, "Lost Network", "Killer", "Acts 3", "Top Gun Sister 2021" and other works have been broadcast successively;

Although Li Chengchang's appearance has not changed much, his hair has fallen out and his waist is also somewhat bowed.

Criminal Investigation Files III

Why do I suddenly talk about these actors, because this time revisited the 1997 TVB production of "Criminal Investigation File III".

Many familiar actors in the play are still very young, just like the star master in Stephen Chow's movie.

It's all about memories and feelings.

Speaking of Criminal Investigation Files III, the show tells a total of ten stories.

Compared to the back, the first five units are much simpler.

Starting from the sixth unit "Who Knows the Heart of the Prodigal Son", the plot is much better.

Judging from the positioning of the theme of the story, the story of "Who Knows the Heart of the Prodigal Son" in File SIX is a murder case caused by "the son is not his own child".

"Eagle Hero"

More and more people are doing paternity testing now, although this unit is a story from 24 years ago.

But in the present, far from being outdated, it is very much in line with the current social phenomenon.

The main characters, in addition to several resident characters, are Hai Junjie, Jian Peijun, and Li Chengchang.

Hai Junjie and Li Chengchang have already introduced it earlier.

Jian Peijun has disappeared, although there are not many works, but Lu Wushuang of Gu Tianle's version of "Divine Eagle Hero" is her.

And the story is probably that Hai Junjie plays Zhang Rifei, the younger brother of Zhang Dayong (Tao Dayu).

After returning to Hong Kong from abroad, he met his ex-girlfriend Mo Yongxi (Jian Peijun), but was already the wife of the newspaper owner Chung Man Kai (Lee Sung-cheung).

After that, Zhang Rifei and Mo Yongxi both disappeared.

This archive is very brain-burning, the plot is compact, and there is no superfluous scene.

Especially in the preparation of suspense, it is most exciting.

From the encounter between Zhang Rifei and Mo Yongxi, then Mo Yongxi's son was in a car accident and needed a type A blood transfusion.

It just so happened that Zhang Rifei's blood type was A blood type.

And Mo Yongxi was in a bad mood after the loss of his son, and the plot inserted many scenes in which Zhang Rifei and Mo Yongxi seemed to behave intimately.

There is also Zhai Yongtian (Liao Qizhi) and Li Silong (Zhong Liqi) bumping into Zhang Rifei and Mo Yongxi at the hotel.

Gao Jie (Guo Keying) bumps into Zhang Rifei and a rogue named Ye Wei (Wei Huiwen) fighting, but when asked why, Zhang Rifei does not talk about it.

But the strange thing is that Ye Wei, who has always wanted to sue Zhang Rifei, changed his mind and did not tell Zhang Rifei because of Mo Yongxi.

Out of the police station, Gao Jie also saw Zhang Ri flying into Mo Yongxi's car.

So, the suspense shaped by this information.

The disappearance of Zhang Rifei and Mo Yongxi is likely due to elopement.

But later, the police found an unnamed male body, and after some investigation, it was confirmed that it was Zhang Rifei, and Mo Yongxi was still missing.

And why was Zhang Rifei killed? Why did Mo Yongxi disappear? Very suspenseful plot.

However, the truth of the case is actually very simple.

It was Mo Yongxi's husband Zhong Wenkai who misunderstood Zhang Rifei as his biological father after discovering that the son he had worked so hard to raise was not his own.

So he plotted to kill Zhang Rifei and Mo Yongxi.

But the most wonderful thing about this file is how Zhong Wenkai took it step by step, planning a near-perfect innings to commit the crime.

This is not a spoiler, after all, it is also the most brain-burning passage in the play.

In fact, from the current point of view, this TV series more than twenty years ago, many of the crime-solving stories in the play are still very exciting.

And the case of "who knows the heart of the prodigal son" in File SIX is caused by "the son is not biological".

Isn't it ironic that such a setting is still realistic and more so than twenty years later?
