Is there really such a person as Cobb?

The story seems to tell a wonderful story of cheating on the surface, but jumping out to see, can it be considered a story of cheating and cheating? Bill is a schizophrenic, Cobb is Bill, or there is no Cobb at all, and Bill invented it to deceive the police. In either case, the police have no way of verifying it, because no one has ever seen Bill and Cobb appear together at the same time, except for the girl who Bill and Cobb stole together for the first time, but the girl came home and saw an uninvited guest at home When he said "What are you doing in my house?", using "you" instead of "you", can this be used as metaphorical evidence that there is only one person at the scene, Bill?

I think the easiest lie to believe is hiding fake information inside real information. It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake. I don't think everything Bill said to the police was fake, because at the beginning of the film, Bill Saying "here is my defense, or... more like a statement, a statement of past facts", as Bill said as a young man on welfare doing nothing because one is lonely and boring He's been living so long that he starts following people, watching where they're going and what they're doing, until one day he meets someone he thinks is a burglary, and the long-term thinking causes Bill to suffer from schizophrenia. , let Bill substitute himself into the thief, so with the appearance of Cobb, or Bill was not satisfied with his voyeurism by following him, so he appeared a capable and charming person who was completely different from his "sissy" self. The thief Cobb, Cobb steals other people's "boxes" containing secrets by burglary, in order to further satisfy his voyeurism, since Cobb appeared, Bill began to become more and more like Cobb, whether it is Appearance and temperament have changed. Bill (Cobb) also has his own principles and rules, he won't stalk the same person (or steal the same house a second time?) until one day he follows the heroine and falls in love with her (or until one day he steals the heroine) The home of the heroine, slowly fascinated by the heroine through the heroine's "box"), began to go against her original intention, and the situation began to change to the other side. The heroine wanted to use Bill, but was eventually discovered by Bill. The truth, the furious Bill finally killed the heroine. As for Cobb and the heroine deceiving Bill, this part can be considered to be fabricated by Bill to exonerate himself, because the heroine died, and Cobb also found no one, and the police also It is impossible to confirm the existence of Cobb by asking the so-called gang boss. After all, in Bill's statement, Cobb was hired by the gang boss to kill the heroine, or that Cobb is Bill? The above is a conjecture I got after watching the movie. You are welcome to discuss it reasonably. Perhaps it is not one of the charms of Nolan's movies to leave infinite space for the viewers to imagine.
