Force reading and comprehension, no need!

At the end of the film, the detective said to Marta that you won not because of everything Harlan designed for you, but because of your kindness. (main idea)

When I saw Gao Zan, some said, "The old man knew everything from the beginning." (?)

Even if the answer given at the end of the movie is clear, some people still can't help but throw out the conspiracy theory that "it's not that simple". . .

There is a saying that Harlan originally planned to commit suicide and knew that Marta had injected the correct medicine. It's just a suicide that counts. There are many loopholes in this statement:

1) Harlan made a lot of arrangements for his birthday party, and then said to each of his children before discussing things. He had no reason to commit suicide on that day.

2) After Harlan heard that Marta had used the wrong medicine, he said some cool words at first to comfort her. In the end, knowing that he was not saved, more wanted to let Marta escape punishment.

3) Harlan will give the inheritance to Marta to show that he cares for Marta. He has no reason to know the truth and makes Marta bear the guilt of killing herself for the rest of his life.

4) Haran is not a doctor, how can he be 100% sure that the heroine did not use the wrong medicine because the body is normal within a few minutes.

5) Haran knew that the heroine did not use the wrong medicine and didn't tell her, which made her panic. Then use suicide to get the police to catch the person who changed the dressing? ? ? This is not necessarily too strange. Even if he originally planned to commit suicide, he would trust the police too much. If there were no detectives, then Haran's plan would have failed and even killed the poor heroine.

6) If Haran knows that the heroine is not a criminal, why arrange for the heroine to do things that get rid of the crime. He could completely drive off the heroine, go downstairs by himself, and then commit suicide. Wouldn't it be that there is no silver three hundred taels in arranging the heroine to do those things? And the risk is greater.

Furthermore, even if Harlan knew the personalities of his grandsons Ranson and Marta, he could guess everything they did. What about the police and detectives? Harlan had never seen them before, how could he predict their behavior.

The key to the final outcome is the detective:

1) The detective saw Harlan’s mother and knew that Ranson had gone back

2) Detectives found Marta's car on the scene of the laboratory, followed the car and took Lanson away.

3) The detective's dialogue with Marta asked Marta to find the verification result.

4) The detective exposes Ranson when Marta wants to surrender.

Imagine if the detective does not exist, what will happen:

The police declares suicide-the lawyer announces the will-Lanson takes Marta away-Lanson burns the laboratory-Marta goes to see the servant-Lanson reports Marta to the police-Marta surrenders -The new will is invalidated and the old will is implemented-everyone gets the estate including Lanson

Therefore, the detective is definitely a necessary factor in the final result.

While the detective was hired by Lanson, Harlan couldn't predict the appearance of the detective after his death. It is even more impossible to predict what the police and detectives will do. Unless another conspiracy theory

In short, the plot is like Sudoku. If one of the answers is changed, the other answers must also be changed, causing the entire logic to conflict with the original setting.

Harlan is set in the film as a suspense novelist, but he is not a prophet. How could he risk ruining Marta to design everything in less than 5 minutes.

If the whole story falls into the plot routine of "because I know everyone will do it, so I choose to do this", then this movie is a bit too unconventional. If this is the case, then this detective film is a bit embarrassing. The detective in it turned out to be just a tool, and he couldn't find the truth. Forehead,,,,,,

There are also some inferences that the heroine is the big boss, uh, uh. . . It is really unnecessary to force reading and comprehension, regardless of the settings in the film. Unless there is a second season, overthrow some of the existing settings.
