At first, the film felt like a story of finding the real murderer and proving innocence. In the closed room, the lover of the male protagonist was killed. He was the only one present and could not escape suspicion. The experienced and undefeated female lawyer was dissatisfied with the male protagonist's vagueness and evasiveness, and asked him to tell the details of the ins and outs. As a result, a murder case hidden behind the case gradually surfaced.
Reminder: There are spoilers below.
After the rendezvous with his lover, the male protagonist collided with a car on the way to the airport on his way to the airport. The owner of the car has lost consciousness and is unconscious. In order to prevent their crimes from being exposed, the lover pretended to be the comatose car owner and deceived another passing driver. Then, the two were responsible for covering up the murder case: the male lead drove the other's car to the lake to bury the dead, and the lover stayed In situ waiting for repairs. But big trouble ensued - the unconscious car owner's father eagerly took his lover home and repaired the car, and the couple waited for a long time for their son to call and ask, but the son's mobile phone was in the lover's coat pocket.
In a panic, after putting down the phone in a hurry, the lover drove away quickly, and various abnormal behaviors aroused the suspicion of the couple. Subsequently, the son disappeared, and the police search was fruitless. The couple immediately thought of the accidental car with many doubts, and tracked down the registered owner and hero all the way.
As the head of a large company, the actor knows that he must not let this case ruin his career. He forged evidence of alibi, destroyed the car and claimed to have stolen it, and made an agreement with his lover not to meet again. In the face of the police's inquiries, he denied everything and made a fool of himself; in the face of the deceased's father's questioning, he pretended to be dumb and insisted. However, just when he thought that the crisis could finally come to an end, a letter with the name of the deceased was sent to him, and the other party used the knowledge of the truth as a bargaining chip to blackmail him and his lover for 100,000 euros.
Just after the male protagonist came to the hotel as instructed, he was knocked unconscious by the prisoner who was in ambush indoors. The other party killed his lover and wanted to blame him. After listening to the people involved, the lawyer determined that the murderer should be the grudge father of the deceased. It was he and his wife who worked in the hotel who planned this murder in order to avenge the male protagonist. In order to let the male protagonist get out of the case, she suggested that the male protagonist should blame the deceased lover for the crime.
However, there is another potential threat: the plaintiff claimed that witnesses testified in court, and the male protagonist immediately realized that it was the passing driver. Seeing the male protagonist's strange expression, the lawyer immediately asked if there were any other secrets. The man who thought the lawyer could be trusted told the truth: when he sank the body, he found that the owner of the car was actually alive, but he still closed the trunk mercilessly. After hearing this, the lawyer could not help but take a deep breath.
If he hadn't cheated, if he hadn't overslept, if he hadn't taken shortcuts... The male protagonist kept using assumptions to justify his sudden car accident. The cost of a lie can be very small, as long as the matter is concealed, people can be uninvolved and nothing has happened; the cost of a lie can also be very high, in order to cover up a lie, people need to make up more and more complex new lies , until all these butterfly effects turn your heart upside down, you understand the momentary pleasure of wanting to escape punishment after making a mistake, and finally linger on you with a huge guilt enough to push you to the brink of collapse. Violent revenge was launched.
After the car accident, the lover said to the male protagonist, "There is nothing to save him, but we can save ourselves" and "If I get caught, you don't even want to escape." In order to rationalize the disappearance of the car owner, the lover even stole a sum of money in his name, and forged the illusion of absconding in fear of crime to confuse the police. Until the threatening letter that ruined their painstaking plan appeared, the two really seemed to think that they could hide it from the sky.
Facts show that people can't help being selfish animals, and even more greedy animals; they do shameful things, but they still fantasize that they can go back to a normal life. And when flaws are exposed and conscience is tortured, people often console themselves: it is just acting as their own suspicious accomplice. Just be a liar, be a rogue, deceive the world, and live hypocritically. Just like the so-called introspection of the male protagonist - this is the last mistake in life.
The lawyer looked at the client whose statement was full of flaws and told the truth that she knew -
no one was in ambush in the hotel room, the murderer was the male lead; it
was the lover who called the parents of the deceased because she hoped to pay them compensation and the male lead He
turned himself in, which made the male protagonist murderous; when the car accident happened, the one who insisted not to call the police and throw the body was not the lover, but the male protagonist.
At this point, the male protagonist showed a meaningful expression, noncommittal. The mask of the hypocrite was suddenly lifted, and the image of the real villain in front of him seemed to make him uncomfortable for a while. He has become accustomed to portraying himself as innocent, kind, and desperate because he is forced to do so. After all, as long as he continues to pretend to be innocent, he can use money to make others feel that he is innocent.
"You only care about one person in the world, and that is yourself." The female lawyer broke it out. Then, she took off her wig in front of him. She will never be the only one who can direct and act. So will the mother whose son died. She used her superb acting skills to deceive the male protagonist who had revealed everything, and finally let him kill himself.
Everyone will tell the same thing from the side that is good for them. Only the dead, who have remained silent forever, cannot be refuted by the false accusations of the living. "The Invisible Guest" confirms the old adage with a story of a liar being deceived: unpredictable.
