Let me explain one thing first: I don't understand the operating mechanism and mode of the Korean judicial system. In the process of being "brainwashed" by European and American crime films, it is always believed that developed countries have already achieved at least at this stage. If the following behaviors occur-insiders falsify evidence, and have private contacts with criminal suspects in the interrogation room without being left behind. Evidence, easily sneaked into the residences of the deceased and suspects, and left a pile of fingerprints, blood stains, and personal belongings. They were directly ignored. The objects were knocked over in the laboratory and were not discovered by the experimenters. Even the serious crime team members are all comparable to human heads. Pig brain-still quite difficult, extremely technical, except that the last point is not determined by him personally, this is an absolute need for insiders to plan carefully, cautiously, smart judgment, flexible and powerful On-the-spot adaptability, super high IQ, calm and rational mind.
However, in this film, you will find that if you want to do all of this, as long as you have the identity of an insider, you can do it easily. The protagonist played by Xue Jingguo, Professor Jiang, the first person in Korean anatomy, has been in a semi-collapsed state when he learned that his daughter was kidnapped by a criminal suspect and that his right to life and death depends entirely on his next actions. From the time he came to the airport to talk to the suspect Lee Sung-ho for the first time, I wondered if the surveillance system in the interrogation room of the Korean Police Department was like a deaf ear? In addition, why is the suspect left unattended after the interrogation? And it is so easy to allow non-interrogators to come and go freely?
The next scene where he faked blood from an electric drill really made me amazed. I understood his mood at the time. It didn't matter if he made a mess of jingling bells, but the experimenter who came in to work later didn't notice the slightest strangeness! So I guessed that Professor Jiang must have restored the items that were knocked over before leaving the room, but if he is in a situation of high tension and anxiety and half-out of control, he can still restore the items intact with almost no light. Location, I'm afraid it is possible for Frankenstein to do it. So, we can only understand that the experimenter’s nerves are like Yonghe King’s super fritters-too big. Wait, I can't help asking: Can such a big nerve and such poor eyesight still be qualified as a researcher in the Criminal Evidence Forensics Department? !
The most frightening thing is the section where Professor Jiang broke into the riverside cabin before the police. Since the door in this film and many other types of films is definitely not locked or can be easily opened even if it is locked, he effortlessly enters the house to search for the murder weapon. The room was turned upside-down by the professor under high pressure again. Seeing that the police were coming, he broke a photo frame to take away the important photos, and then hurriedly hid in the shadow in the corner. At this time, a police detective entered the room. I instantly became nervous, thinking that the teacher would be forced to kill him in order to keep his daughter alive. But I never thought that I was seriously worried. Not only did the detective fail to have any suspicion and alertness to the scene that was obviously turned over, he didn't even scan the entire room thoroughly. For such a major case, when he came to the suspect’s residence, he didn’t take pictures, make records, search for relevant evidence, and didn’t search the room thoroughly. He just stood in the middle of the room and looked at it and said something really messy. After being called away, a big living person who left the house full of DNA was just a stone's throw away. The red alert was lifted abruptly and easily. I really admired South Korea's crime scene search craftsmanship. Two important items appeared in this scene: 1. The scalpel that the professor left on the floor; 2. The spikes accidentally inserted into his back—both sturdyly satirized the country’s case handlers Quality.
In the course of several "private" meetings with Li Shenghao, there was one time when the professor finally got out of control and beat him to death. Even if the professor was tough enough to contact the suspect without surveillance, at least assaulted him. During the process, the strong sound of fighting from the room will also attract the attention of the guards outside, so they will go in and stop. Even if it can be explained that the soundproofing effect of the room is good, and no one hears during the beating, then after the suspect is brought out, his person in charge will not be puzzled: the professor is only responsible for dissecting the corpse, why should he confess to someone who has already confessed? This ruthless? There must be something hidden in this. ...Unfortunately, what we have seen is that all such obvious golden doubts were ignored by them.
Apart from Professor Jiang's unimpeded tampering with the evidence, there are two other points that I cannot understand. First of all, after the young female detective Min Ruiying suffered a serious head injury by the door of the professor’s car, no one in the police team cared about it. We can clearly see that fixed supports were installed on her neck during her stay in the hospital. Was it because she lied to the police and said that she had a cold, or did the screenwriter take care of this and lose her IQ? The second is about the body and the head and limbs. In the order of time, when the gang rape happened that year, the girl with black elf nails as a witness, the prostitute who was later killed and amputated, was about the age of a junior high school student. Let’s put aside such a frivolous and ignorant woman. If you have kept the same nail painting for so many years, let's look at the age of the professor's daughter. She is obviously a six or seven-year-old girl. How could it be possible that after 13 years, the age of the two limbs will be zero? ! It is possible that the prostitutes are well maintained, but what about the blood type? How do you say the blood type? Professor Jiang, the first person to conduct anatomy in Korea, did not even judge the most basic fact that these parts do not belong to the same person at all. Hopefully The screenwriter should not tell me at this time that the skin age of the two is zero difference and the blood type is exactly the same. Do you believe it yourself?
Perhaps this is the display of the real South Korean criminal investigation system. Now think about it, the same type of film "The Chaser", "Memories of Murder" and so on have outlined to us the demeanor of Korean police officers and the style of handling cases. That kind of market-rich language habits and rough and rude methods of handling cases all make People are deeply impressed, and it is precisely because of this highly simple and sincere way of depicting that I have been keeping a unique focus on Korean crime genre films. But there has never been a film that gave me so many doubts in the process of watching the film. When the doubts arise, they are again attributed to film bugs-because it is impossible to believe that today's Korean justice is controlled by such a level of criminal investigation. In the hands of the team; afterwards, they were removed from the name of the bug again and again-because I really don't want such a well-conceived collective performance by actors to be severely deducted due to this kind of miscarriage.
I have to mention that the ending of the film about the whereabouts of the professor's daughter was handled extremely well. Li Shenghao said to him in the interrogation room, "Look, you have been busy for a long time, and everything is back to the original point.". Yes, hatred is like the whirlpool described by Junji Ito. Returning to the origin is not a complete return to zero, but an infinite reincarnation with the vertical axis pointing straight to the abyss in the region of evil and sin.
And forgiveness? It is like parallel lines in mathematics, just a concept, but it can never be reached. But the main point of the film is not completely pessimistic as mentioned above. Have you noticed the container in which your daughter’s body is held? The Li Shenghaos who have been swallowed up alive by the fire of hatred have done this, but the full of rose petals and glass coffins are not only a dazzling and cruel portrayal, but also the last trace of their unbearable and sorrow... Seeing some people say that they have lost their conscience, I don’t think it is. It is precisely because the good is still there that they are so painful.
