First of all, be sure that the tenant was not imagined by the hostess, and the murderer must be a man, because when the murderer was stalking one of the prostitutes, the prostitute turned back and said, "You following me, sweetheart?" Obviously the prostitute thought the murderer would be A whore client, that means the murderer must be a man, not a mistress. Then the murderer is a highly intelligent criminal who considers the problem to the extreme. He has collected all the information about the hostess, and it is certain that the hostess suffers from severe schizophrenia, and the cause of the hostess must be reminiscent of Jack the Ripper. That is, the last female police detective is describing that the mistress was schizophrenic because her child died in the womb. This description of the cause can make most people think that the mistress will dig out other people's wombs. the behavior of.
In fact, the most connotative parts of the film are all in the two short stories said by the female police detective; after the hostess was arrested for the murderer, the female police detective conducted a psychological analysis on the hostess, and the female police detective said that the hostess told her There are two people, one is her child Timmy, and the other is the landlord (the murderer). The female police detective has no doubt analyzed the two people she said from a psychological point of view. Both of them are fantasies of the hostess. from. In this way, there is no doubt that the real murderer has become the fantasy product of the hostess. Then she said in the words of the female police detective expressing her opinion for the first time: such killers are often the same as normal people, with their own jobs, jobs and even families. So all the detectives were not particularly surprised when they finally saw the hostess calmly and normal people, and when taking away the hostess, the detectives said something to the hostess: "Don't worry, we'll look after Timmy for you.", the hostess replied: "Timmy? Timmy died 7years ago." No one would believe her at this time, because the aforementioned schizophrenic person is very sane in normal times, and the female The host's answer just made the detectives think she was an absolute schizophrenic; at this time, the murderer was planning the next murder.
Psychological analysis of the hostess when she was finally arrested: The hostess’s expression changed unnaturally when listening to the female police detective’s analysis of her. Maybe the hostess at this time realized everything and realized that the murderer was cunning. At this time, maybe the hostess regretted herself. everything for the murderer. In the last paragraph, "Timmy? Timmy died 7 years ago." Maybe this sentence was something the hostess regretted a little bit. She wanted to use this sentence to show that she did not know that her child died, but the result was just the opposite. , she smiled after seeing that everyone didn't have any strange expressions after saying this, maybe she felt that it was worth it to fall in love with such a high IQ man (the hostess does have schizophrenia, but the murderer used Because of her, people with schizophrenia can have such thoughts. I think it is also in the past.)
In short, the murderer of this film mainly uses three points: 1. The hostess. Two; Jack the Ripper. Three; the experience of the detectives is wrong. The murderer cleverly used the police detectives to use their experience to search for clues and solve the case, so as to do the opposite. With a single rebound, the pipa can be used to kill people with a knife without leaving any traces.

This is all my humble opinion, if you have any opinions, please let me know. Thanks!
