Don't go the wrong way, because it's a thousand miles away

As for the type of crime film, this film is relatively bland and not too "typed". Because of this, it gave me a surprise, which was really unexpected. I thought it was a Sherlock Holmes-style crime-solving movie.
Although there are some parts that I didn't understand, one was the previous prompt about the case of forgery of evidence, and the other was how the little girl deduced from the bullet that the old policeman killed her companion. However, the ancients said that words should not be used to harm the meaning, and it would be fine if they did not affect the main idea.
A good cop can't sleep because there is no clue, a bad cop can't sleep because of a guilty conscience.
I have been a good policeman all my life, how did I end up like this in the end? It is because he took a wrong step in the first place, since he forged evidence, he has gone further and further down the wrong road, and he has been further and further away from his destination.
Justice and evil are always relative, and in everyone's mind, there are different interpretations. We cannot judge whether it is fair for a person who abused and killed children to be acquitted, and whether it is wrong to create perjury in the face of such facts. Another complementary justice. There is no point in discussing this because there will be no conclusion.
Justice cannot exist fixedly. Like many laws in the world, it needs to be gradually adjusted with various auxiliary conditions, such as judicial supervision and legal improvement. We may not wait for a completely just world to come, and we can even say that it is just a dream without a future, but we must never lose the courage to pursue and go the wrong way before that.
That's what the ending wants to say, don't go the wrong way.
It seems to be a kind of compassion to conceal a person's mistakes and make his life innocent. But is that a great compassion? It just magnifies the choice of a good policeman going the wrong way, and carries it over to another girl full of compassion.
This bullet, this lesson, this notoriety, is just to warn this girl and others who are on the verge of making a mistake, not to go the wrong way. For whatever reason, don't forget the original intention.
To live up to justice for justice will never be justice.
Living up to kindness for the sake of kindness will never get real kindness.
