I don't discuss whether the old man could be convicted of ending his wife's life in the hospital here. Iz thinks that this is just to let Commander Gao skip the rule that one guilt cannot be tried again, so that the case can be reopened, and Commander Gao must produce new evidence, according to Commander Gao's conversation at the old man's house showed that the evidence was the bullet in his wife's head.
Why did the old man shoot three times at the window after shooting his wife?
According to the old man's idea, he shot his wife with the police's gun and the police's bullets to put the blame on the police. It may be that the old man found that the bullet that killed his wife was left in his head and could not be taken out for fear that it would not become evidence of the police killing. He fired three more shots and placed the cartridge case to attract the police's attention to test the bullet to prove that it was the police's gun. The police's bullet, Then use your own 4 rounds to reload the police gun.
The police suicide was probably unexpected by the old man. Can the prosecution find a breakthrough based on the difference between the bullets in the police’s guns and the bullets in the three shots at the scene and the bullets in the wife’s head?
If possible, Commander Gao finally emphasized that the bullets can be taken out and tested after the wife's death, as evidence after the new case was filed. There are two possibilities here. One is that the police could not find the bullets of the three shots at the scene, and could only pass the bullets in the wife's head. Different from looking for evidence from bullets in police guns, isn't that old man's three shots fired in vain? And the old man specially left three bullet casings, and the police probably won't find it. If the police can find the bullets for the three shots, it doesn't matter whether the bullets in the wife's head are taken out or not? Unless the bullet that killed his wife was different from the bullets of the three later shots, but the old man has no reason to do so, first use his own bullet to kill his wife and then switch to the police bullet to fire three shots? The old man probably still can't control the bullet just enough to hit his wife's head, and there is no need to do so, he can only use police bullets in all four ways.
If not (and indeed the film does not seem to show the clue of the bullet in the suicide cop). If he can't find a breakthrough here, then why is Commander Gao confident that he can convict the old man in the new court session? After all, the bullet in his wife's head alone can't prove that the old man fired the police's gun?
In short, the information in the film does not seem to be explained very clearly, and the ending seems to be slightly open, but this suspenseful process is still quite enjoyable, after all, the acting skills are still very powerful.
