After watching a quarter of it, I felt that it was a bit like "Seven Witnesses" by Nishimura Kyotaro, and I didn't realize that it was indeed "Seven Witnesses" copied until Mama Chen revealed the spoiler. The seven witnesses are roughly the story of a Japanese father who came back from Brazil. He worked hard to make a lot of money on the farm. He wanted to come back to find his son Andu, who was divorced and sentenced to his wife in his old age. When he came back, he found that his son was dead in prison, so he was exhausted. All the money replicated the scene where his son was convicted of murder on a small island, arrested 7 witnesses who accused his son of guilt at that time, and found a policeman to judge, in order to find out the truth of the year, because he felt that his son might It's not very good behavior but I don't believe my son will kill. Different from the movie, the novel quickly clarifies the connection of several people at the beginning, and the rest of the time is spent on deciphering and revealing the truth at that time. The whole book is completed in one go, and it is very enjoyable to read. And this film is completely the mystery novel of COPY, but the screenwriter of this film is far worse than Nishimura Kyotaro, and many parts feel far-fetched.
