Who is the "devil"

From the name of the movie "Devil", we can know that there is indeed a "devil" in the film, but who is the "devil"? Candidates will not be outside the principal, lover, or wife. Some people may also think that it is an old detective. I think this is impossible. In the films of the last world in the fifties, the director would arrange an "angel" to fight against the "demon", so that people can accept it and the film can There is a market. The "angels" in this movie can only be old detectives.

When the movie was in the last half an hour, I probably saw that my wife was cheated by my lover and the principal, and was going to be killed by them. Because I found that during the entire "murder" and removal process, the wife was basically not directly involved. The potion was prepared by the lover, and the principal was also the lover who pushed it into the bathtub... I think the accident when the "corpse" was moved was the director deliberately to guide the audience, making everyone think that the lover really killed the principal. Later, I heard from the school teacher that the principal’s water quality is very good, which means that it is entirely possible that he crawled out of the pool by himself, and this was confirmed in the end.

At the end of the film, the wife heard the movement outside and came out of the house. At this time we saw someone walking in the corridor. When the wife walked to a door with glass, the door just closed. . From this we can know that someone entered this room and hid. But there was still a sound in the room farther ahead, and the wife ran all the way into the room with the typewriter. There is a pair of gloves on the typewriter, which should be left here deliberately by the lover, in order to attract the wife to read the content on the paper.

Of course, the film didn't give us all the contents of the paper. On the exposed piece, all the names of the principal were left. This should be left by the lover to frighten the wife deliberately. But besides that, I also saw a hat beside the typewriter. There is no doubt that this is the hat of the old detective. In other words, the old detective is also in this room at this time, because he wants to catch the prototype of the criminal, so it is not convenient to show up. And I believe that the content on the half-faced paper that was not shown in the camera should have been added by the old detective later, probably: they partnered to harm you, but you don’t say anything at this moment, pretending to be afraid, I turn off the lights and you run away, etc. . Of course, it is more important to ask the wife to take a few more tablets of sedation, and it is precisely because of these sedations that the wife's pulse seems to have stopped.

Therefore, the real "demon" is the principal and lover, and the wife is the guardian of the old detective "angel".

So far, I think the story is reasonable. But one thing that puzzles me is, since it is an "angel", why should the wife pretend to be dead to aggravate the punishment of the principal and lover? I have two guesses about this: 1. After the wife woke up that night, she answered that half of the property should be used to aggravate their punishment (because she had said before that she was willing to pay half of the property to the person who threatened him, although that People do not exist). 2. The old detective's sense of justice is too strong, and he is jealous of evil, just hoping that they will be punished heavily.
