Imagine that Beth and Catherine are both bisexuals. They entered Berkeley University in 1979. In the same year, C's parents died because of a yacht explosion, leaving behind a large inheritance. In the 1980s, C killed his own psychology professor with an ice cone, and it happened that Lisa also took two courses from this professor. Lisa is obsessed with C, and even dyes her hair blonde, wearing the same clothes as C. This made C unbearable, and once went to the school police to report Lisa.

After graduation, the two married separately.

Lisa married a doctor, no longer infatuated with Catherine, and changed her name to Beth. But because of the bisexuality issue, Beth quarreled with her husband and shot her husband in anger. Later Beth moved to Los Angeles and opened a clinic with another psychologist while working in the police department. The other doctor is Gus and Johnny's psychiatrist. In Los Angeles, Beth met Nick.

Catherine married a boxing champion in 1984, and the boxer died in a boxing match. After this, Catherine began to meet friends with various criminal convictions and began to write novels. The first book was about the murder of a child's parents.

A year and a half before the movie started, Catherine met Johnny and wrote a novel about the rock star being killed by the ice cone based on his previous use of ice cone to kill the psychology professor. It was published a year ago. Later, C was very interested in the news about Nick shooting tourists and wanted to write a novel about detectives. She collected many newspaper clippings of Nick. Through Johnny, C knew that Beth, the partner of his psychiatrist, was Lisa who was obsessed with him at school, and Beth worked for the Los Angeles Police Department at the same time, so she bought Nelson and secretly investigated Beth and Nick.

Nelson investigated the cause of Beth's husband's death and took Catherine's report file from the school police. Three months ago, Beth was forced to exchange Nick's files with Nelson (Nelson wanted to remove Nick from the police station and did not accept B's evaluation because he considered it not objective enough, so B exchanged the files with him). This is why Catherine knew Nick well before Johnny died.

The time was right (the novel about the rock star has been written, and the investigation of Beth and Nick is basically over), Catherine killed Johnny with a cone of ice, and Nick really came to the door because of the need to detect the case. In this way, Catherine got to know Nick. . At this time, Nelson was useless, and because he knew too much, Catherine killed Nelson by shooting her husband with Beth. He wanted to blame Beth for the deaths of Johnny and Nelson.

As for Roxy's death, Catherine hadn't thought of it. But she pretended to inadvertently tell Nick Lisa's name, just to mislead Nick to investigate in a planned direction. Beth loves Nick very much (you can believe what he said before he died), and they stayed in the relationship of gunmates. When Nick questioned Beth, Beth did not lie to Nick, and she really did not have the motive to kill Nelson, (and as a murderer, there is a murder weapon in the family, so she will not let her door lock break and she will not be in a hurry to fix it. of). But Nick's preconceived thoughts and love for Catherine made his balance biased towards Catherine, believing that Beth was the murderer.

Judging from the novel printed by Catherine, she pretends to be a roommate and asks Gus to come out, kill Gus with Ice Cone (because Beth's phone record cannot find her and Gus' messages), and kill Beth with Nick's snatch. She threw a wig and coat on the corridor, and put a murderous gun and newspaper clippings in Beth's home, making the police mistakenly believe that Beth was still obsessed with herself and was the murderer of Johnny, Nelson, and Gus.

In summary, whether Catherine’s parents murdered is unknown; Catherine’s husband died in a boxing match; Roxy died in a car accident; Beth killed her husband; Catherine killed university psychology professors, Johnson, Nelson, and Gus (except for imitating Beth’s killing methods, Catherine kills with ice cones); Nick kills Beth.

As for why Catherine didn’t kill Nick, it’s because he hasn’t found the protagonist of the next novel. Nick hasn’t gotten tired of it. Nick will not be killed before that, just like the rock star who lived for a year after the novel was written. Johnny. Catherine would not fall in love with Nick.
