plot

In a remote village in the 1980s, there was a series of rapes with very similar modus operandi: the victims were tied up, underpants over their heads, and strangled with stockings. The "not serious" local police officer Park took over the case, because the technology was backward and the murderer was cunning, and it was difficult to find any clues to solve the case.

Under the investigation of Officer Park, the suspect was quickly identified as a fool because he often followed the victim and left his footprints at the crime scene . The rough police officer Park identified him as the murderer based on these two points alone, and kept coaxing him to confess, with several violent acts in the middle. However, how could an idiot with no hands and feet have such a quick modus operandi? Officer Park's judgment was denied by the "gentle" Officer Xu who was transferred from Seoul. During this period, there were also female victims. The case hits a dead end.

One night, officers found a sneaky pervert wearing panties and jerking off to women's underwear in a pine forest at the crime scene. They went to great lengths to catch this pervert. The gruff Officer Park begins his violent interrogation again in an attempt to get the pervert to admit that he was responsible for the cases. The gentle and elegant Officer Xu followed the vine and found a survivor on the hill near the school, and got a clue: the murderer had a pair of delicate hands . After returning, he checked the pervert's hand and found it to be rough, so he let the pervert go. The case is deadlocked again.

At this time, a police officer discovered that when the murderer committed the crime, the same song would be played on the radio , and these songs were all ordered by the villagers. Following this clue, the police officers finally found the person who often played the song on demand. He was a handsome young worker. After the interrogation, it was learned that he only came here in September last year, and the series of cases happened after he came here. Moreover, his hands are very delicate, and he loves songs. Moreover, he himself said that it happened again last night. At the time of the case, what he himself was doing was vague. At this moment, all the doubts seem to point to this worker. Coincidentally, the police found sperm spots on the victim's clothes , but limited by the technical conditions, the data can only be sent to the United States for DNA identification. During the waiting period, the worker received 24-hour surveillance from Police Officer Xu. However, the tired Officer Xu took a nap during the surveillance, and the worker took the bus and left. On that night, there was another incident of rape and murder of a girl. Angry Officer Xu ran to the worker's home, beat him repeatedly, and nearly killed him with a gun, but was stopped by Officer Park. Officer Park showed Officer Xu the results of his return from the United States. After seeing the results, he could not accept the reality that the DNA results did not match. He was angry and fired a few shots at the worker, but he missed, and the worker who got up staggered. staggering, disappearing into the dark tunnel...

This became an unsolved case. After 20 years, Officer Park, who no longer served as a police officer, came to this sad place again, and memories came flooding back...

1. The whole movie viewing process is very experienced. There are not only the chills when the murderer commits the crime, but also the hilarious joy when the clues are discovered, and the anger and helplessness when the clues are broken . As far as the picture is concerned, it is really a beautiful village, with large golden wheat fields rolling in the wind, but the sins hidden in the wheat fields and the dark night really make people feel cruel and heartache.

2. In fact, from the beginning to the end, the police officers have not found any strong evidence , "Footprints of a Fool", "Delicate Hands", "Workers on Demand Songs", "Spots on Clothes", all of which are not available. Persuasiveness: The footprints of the fool may have just walked past (the movie proves that the fool is an eyewitness), and the delicate hands are the most unconvincing, because the delicate hands are sure to find a lot of workers in the town who are on-demand. Point, the song is ordered by others, and people like this song, but it cannot prove that the crime was committed by others. The murderer committed the crime when he chose to play this song, it can only show that the murderer also likes this song, and the fine spots on his clothes are not. Reliable, maybe the victim has had normal sex before. The tragic 1980s and 1990s saw technological backwardness, social instability, low crime costs, and high crime solving costs, which made people sigh.

3. The film depicts the very different characters of the two police officers very well . Officer Park is a native police officer with little education, is rude, and often subverts suspects. But he is kind and resentful towards the murderer. In order to seek the real murderer, he does not hesitate to believe in witches and superstitions, and to prove his absurd idea that "the murderer has no pubic hair", he goes to the bathroom and stares at the man's dick. It's so funny After all, Police Officer Xu came from a big city. He is gentle and well-educated. He is well aware of the unreasonableness of humiliation. He handles the case rationally and pays attention to real evidence. Collapsed, although the DNA results confirmed that the worker was not a suspect, he could not suppress the anger in his heart and fired several shots at the worker. This thorny and cruel case made his reason disappear at the last moment.
