Level: Mianlizhen This suspenseful film is too brain-burning. In order to clarify the story line, I tried my best to adjust the narrative format. Sir, let me make a list of characters at the beginning, just in case the little fans of this movie get dizzy (yeah is a spoiler encyclopedia).
"story background"
In the middle of the night, Inspector Dev was awakened by the ringing of the phone. The rainy nights in Mumbai have always been wrapped in sin, and the world has long been surprised. But this time the suspect was a famous writer, and there were two victims—the wife of the writer Vikram and a lawyer. Vikram is not only famous, but also a well-connected British Indian. The boss gave Dev a direct ultimatum: You are limited to three days to solve the case. According to the routine procedure of solving cases, how could it be possible in three days. However, the arm could not twist the thigh, Dev still responded.
In the cell, Vikram was both mourning his wife's heart attack and worrying about his innocence. If a book fan who admired him saw him like this, he might have let him go immediately. Dev didn't know him, however, and he used to speak with evidence when it came to convicting a person.
As for how the two murders Vikram was involved in came about, we have to start from the beginning.
After Vikram found out that his wife had died of a heart attack, he took the initiative to report the crime to the police, but the bluffing procedures made him flee halfway. After an accidental car accident, Vikram fled to the house of a lawyer Sheka. Finally, Sheka's wife Maya reported the case, the police arrested Vikram on the spot, and the lawyer died at his feet, which made him the second. The suspect in the murder case. Also present in the lawyer's death was the lawyer's wife, Maya, who was also among the suspects.
The confessions of the two suspects are very different, and Dev has to listen and study as to whose confession is credible.
"First Disagreement"
Vikram's defense: He pleaded with his lawyer wife Maya, who opened the door, to make a phone call. As soon as he entered the room, he found that the glass of the coffee table was broken, and the atmosphere in the room gave him a strange feeling. When the TV news reported his alleged murder of his wife, she didn't ask the nanny who knocked on the door for help, but continued to be alone with him.
Maya's defense: Vikram forcibly broke into her home and threatened her not to ask the nanny for help. Later, when her husband came back and fought him, he picked up a blunt object and killed him.
This first confrontation brought three possible truths. As for which one is credible, Dev can't make a decision yet, and the trial still needs to continue.
"Second Divergence"
Vikram's defense: Maya listened to his misfortune, carefully drugged him, discouraged him from calling the police, and deliberately flirted with him.
Maya's defense: Vikram, a man who can brutally kill his own wife, must have no scruples when he kills her husband. When she was under Vikram's control, she complied and took a flashlight to signal downstairs when Vikram was not looking.
Although Dev took a carrot-and-stick interrogation, both gentle and stern to the two suspects, he still failed to find a key breakthrough.
Instead of listening to the one-sided words of the two people, it is better to work on the evidence found at the scene. Soon, the forensic doctor sent the identification results, and the standing lawyer Xie Jia was killed by a six-foot-tall man with a blunt object.
Maya was clearly excluded, and the outcome of the crime seemed clear at a glance.
Dev's boss was busy greeting him for his closing remarks at the press conference. Vikram, who was convicted there, fought desperately: he had not had time to tell Dev the evidence of a "third person present." Even though Vikram has been convicted, the evidence that should be there continues to be collected and analyzed. When Dev looked at the restored photos, he knew that the previous conviction for the "Lawyer Shega case" was too hasty. Maya was called to the interrogation room again, and a new dialectic began again.
"The Third Divergence"
Vikram's defense: There was also a man present, and as soon as the man entered the door, Maya pretended it was her husband. When he saw the photo of Maya and another man on the table, he immediately understood that Maya deceived him, but the man directly knocked him unconscious with a blunt object. In a daze, he vaguely saw the body of a man being dragged into the living room. When he was fully awake, the police had arrived at the scene and mistook him for the real killer.
Maya's defense: Because she was lonely and lonely, she became friends with her husband's friends. Unexpectedly, her husband went home at 7 o'clock in advance and directly caught the two cheating lovers. The photos in the file bag are evidence of their cheating in the past. The husband and lover had a big fight, the glass of the coffee table was broken, and the lover left after bleeding and hurt. The husband also left angrily and returned home in the early hours of the morning. He happened to meet Vikram who broke in, and Vikram killed him, while she blocked the police driving on the street.
Did the lawyer leave the house again that night?
If so, Maya's testimony may be credible. If not, Vikram's testimony is likely to be true.
The gatekeeper swore that he had never seen the lawyer leave the house again. It seems that this time Vikram's testimony is more credible.
It's still raining in Mumbai on weekends, but Mumbai's police don't rest on weekends. Dev and his subordinates continued to discuss the doubtful points of the case, and he wiped the mud spots on his shoes with a handkerchief. Suddenly, he had an idea, and a way to pretend to be the truth suddenly burst out in his mind.
The evidence in the evidence room had not been tampered with, and the bottoms of the lawyer's shoes were clean. It seems that Maya is the liar, because according to the time Maya said, before the lawyer arrives home, it will rain heavily in the sky of Mumbai, and the lawyer's shoes will be full of mud. However, the truth was that the shoes the lawyer was wearing in the evidence room were clean, not a trace of mud.
With all the evidence, Maya goes to jail and Vikram sees the light of day again.
Vikram has had a hard time these three days, not only having to suffer the trial of the "lawyer's death case", but also the trial of his own "wife's death case". Vikram told Dev that his wife had suffered from a mild heart attack since she was a child and needed to take daily medication to save her life. In those few days, his wife died of a heart attack because of her work on his new book launch. In all cases of the accidental death of a young spouse, the other half is always the biggest suspect. So at first Dev didn't believe Vikram's excuse. What's more, Dev also unexpectedly learned an important clue-a couple took pictures of Vikram arguing with his wife a few days ago.
Vikram explained to him the reason: his previous masterpiece was based on a girl who was raped. His original promise to protect the girl’s privacy was violated by his wife. The girl was so humiliated that she chose to commit suicide.
This incident happened to be the trigger for an argument between him and his wife.
Dev had met the father of the girl who committed suicide. He did not mention Vikram's wife, but insisted on coming to the police station to seek justice for his dead daughter, and the scum he wanted to complain was Vikram himself.
An autopsy report on Vikram's wife eventually proved she died of a heart attack. Therefore, Vikram is still innocent in this wife-killing charge.
When Vikram had not left his cell, he confessed to Dev: "I killed her because I was not with her that night."
Maya is in jail and Vikram is about to leave Mumbai for London after cremating his wife.
Two murders in three days. Inspector Dev could finally take a break.
Vikram's book was too boring for Dev, and half an hour later, Dev's eyes were still on that page. The German couple wanted to do something wrong, so they told him the spoiler: the protagonist of the story died of an overdose in the end.
Dev suddenly thought of something, he hurried to the laboratory and asked the forensic doctor Vikram's wife if there was a possibility of homicide. He then accidentally broke a pill of powdered capsules containing three times the normal dose.
The case took a turn again.
Dev orders Vikram's plane to be intercepted. However, Vikram was confident that he would be able to "retire". He proudly called Dev and told Dev about his crime.
For this "one person's crime, two people's murder case", the truth is actually this.
Two days before the book launch, Vikram's wife quarreled with her because he leaked the private information of the girl who was raped. His wife decided to cancel the book launch and secretly sued him together with the lawyer. (The above pictures are all from the Internet) Vikram decided to kill three birds with one stone. He secretly increased the dose of the powder that his wife took every day, thus creating the illusion of her natural death; The raped girl's suicide is blamed on her undocumented wife. Finally, he went to the lawyer's house to kill the lawyer and changed the shoes they were wearing; he happened to know the tricks of the lawyer's wife because of the photos of the affair, so he smoothly blamed the lawyer's death on the lawyer's wife and the others. her lover.
How could he be unhappy that this crime was arguably the most perfect story idea Vikram had ever had!
With the flight to London rising, Dev is no longer in pursuit. Vikram is a British citizen, and unless Dev can have "hard evidence" of his guilt, it may be difficult to extradite him.
As for the "hard evidence" - his wife, Vikram had already been torched to ashes.
