First of all, I want to say that this story is really full of loopholes. Anyone with a little bit of common sense should know that it is impossible to kill the way shown in the first shot without leaving the slightest evidence: it is impossible for the woman to remain at the scene. A strand of hair, the woman’s DNA can be detected from the female secretions remaining in the corpse’s genitals. There are fingerprints on the corpse, on the sheets, and on the silk scarves, and the woman is also covered with blood from the deceased.
But anyway, now that I have finished reading it, I still can't help but think about a question: Who is the murderer?
At the beginning of the film, both the protagonist of the film and the general audience will probably believe that Catherine Tsumei is the murderer-who can be fooled by that pale blond hair? But with the development of the plot, the mysterious truth slowly surfaced, and finally ended with a felony testimony from the psychologist Beth Garner. But when everyone in the film dispersed contentedly, the ice cone under Catherine's bed in the last shot was extremely tangled. Who is the murderer, the dangerous and mysterious beauty writer or the decent psychiatrist?
Catherine’s sophistication is that she can turn things around when everyone suspects her and all unfavorable evidence points to her, and her method of doing this is to boldly expose herself-not only physical, but also Psychologically. After all, who would believe that someone would first write a novel about a rock singer being killed by his girlfriend, and then kill a rock singer in full accordance with the murder method in the novel? This self-exposure dispelled the police's suspicion of Catherine, because when an extremely complex puzzle presented a simple answer, people always had great doubts about the answer and thought it was incorrect. . As Catherine said: I'm not that stupid.
But this exposure is precisely Catherine’s self-covering. As she said to detective Nick Cullen, the content of her next book is about a detective falling in love with a woman he shouldn’t love. Finally killed by this woman. Nick took this as a joke at first: no one will pre-announce what is going to happen to the slain person before he kills. And this mysterious provocation also makes Catherine show irresistible charm. In contrast, Beth, the psychiatrist, who is equally beautiful but "decent" and "innocent", declares that she is not a murderer, looks slightly inferior.
Catherine gathered around some psychologically distorted characters, such as Rosie, who killed her two younger brothers at the age of 16, or Esso, who was smiling after killing her husband and children, and her next target was Nick Ka. Lun: The police detective who killed two tourists after taking drugs and alcohol, and his wife committed suicide. It is this kind of psychological twister who appears to be indistinguishable from ordinary people, but in fact has an untold and terrible past that allows Catherine, who is well versed in psychology, to take advantage of the void and control their inner world. In the face of Nick, Catherine provocatively exposed all the suspicions that she might be a murderer on the one hand, and in Nick’s investigation of her, she also revealed some information that seemed unintentionally. Behind every such information, it was shown that the murderer was not Catherine. , But someone else. At the same time, she uses her beauty to seduce Nick, alienating him from trusted people around him. Nick got deeper and deeper in Catherine's carefully woven web of sensuality and psychology, until he finally regarded Catherine's words as irrefutable evidence, while turning a blind eye to other people's advice.
If this continues, Nick will really become Catherine's ghost, but the problem is that he has paid true love to Catherine, and this is the direct cause of Rosie's crazy behavior. Rosie used to watch Catherine make love to other men, and made it interesting. But in Nick, she saw the true love for Catherine that she had never seen in other men, and Catherine seemed to respond to this, all of which made her jealous. She tried to drive Nick to death, but accidentally fell down a steep slope to death.
Rosie's death left Catherine at a loss: Rosie was the only deceased who was not in her plan. She showed her fragility for the first time, showing a trace of true feelings, and this kind of true feelings made Nick more cherish and trust her. Seeing that the situation was starting to get out of her control, Catherine threw out her killer. She seemed to casually mention a woman who had had a one-night stand with her, and pointed all the finger at the psychologist Beth Garner.
Why do I believe that Beth Garner can't be the murderer? First of all, when Catherine mentioned Beth's original name, it was Lisa Oberman. When Nick came back to her and said that there was no such person, she changed her words to Lisa Heberman. She deliberately pretended to be innocent and mentioned Beth unintentionally, but in fact she was inducing Nick to pursue it. Nick broke into Beth's house to find out. The door was not closed at the time. If Beth was the murderer and the evidence was hidden in her own home, she would never let people come in and out so carelessly. At the same time, Beth's broken door also proves that no matter who is likely to plant the so-called "evidence" on her. Catherine once again claimed that she had accused Beth to the campus police, but the documents had already been extracted by Detective Nielsen: this is why Nielsen was killed—he knew too much. Nelson investigated the death of Beth's husband a year ago, and learned some rumors about Beth's affair with Catherine. If he had the evidence of Beth's murder, why shouldn't Beth wait until a year later? The actual situation is likely to be that he found out the character Catherine through the investigation of Beth, thus starting the investigation of her. He yelled to Nick: "You're finished, you're finished!" Because he already knows who Catherine is. Once Nick gets entangled with her, he will definitely not end well.
The really decisive evidence lies in the manuscript just completed by Catherine, and Nick accidentally saw part of it. There is no Chinese translation of this manuscript, which deceives careless people like me. In fact, the Chinese meaning of the exposed part of this manuscript is: /The shooter rushes in/Presses the button/Runs up the stairs/The corpse of his partner/Elevator with his legs stretched out/. Please note: When this manuscript appeared, Nick's partner Gass was not dead yet. In order to make all the details consistent with the manuscript, Catherine not only deliberately let Nick see this paragraph, but also used Gas's body to block the elevator door so that Nick could only use the stairs, thus giving her time to set up the scene and escape. When Nick faced Garth's body in shock, Beth's sudden appearance caused him to shoot in panic. And when he faced the dying Beth, her dying sentence: "I love you" and his house key in her pocket made him regret his impulse. He clearly understood who the real murderer was.
So why didn't Nick go to Catherine? Compared with his closest friend Gas and lover Beth, Nick's heart is now occupied by Catherine. Between justice and emotion, he hesitated. At the time when his heart was at its worst, Catherine was preconceived again. Listen to what she said: I can't show affection to you...I can't show affection to anyone...I don't want to do this, I have lost all people, I don't want to lose you! At this time, she broke the defense line of Nick's sense of justice with the final confession. Nick said: Let us make love desperately and live happily like mice. Nick mentioned "rats" here, expressing that he would rather hide forever in the darkness of guilt and guilt, and stay with Catherine. At this time, he has also become a completely distorted person. Catherine tried to lift the ice cone twice, but in the end he didn't stab it—the two lunatics really fell in love.
