In fact, looking at the overall situation, it is not difficult to find that all the questions are actually focused on three people: Mr. Shuang, the housekeeper, and the cook.
The first thing we want to talk about is the relationship between Mr. Shuang and the cook, which is the most quintessential part of this film. We were confused because the director told us in the last scene that the cook was behind the scenes, and the film was fast-paced, had more laughs, and confused the eyes. So what's going on with Mr. Shuang and the cook? This question was answered by the American detective and his female assistant when they drove to Mr. Shuang's house.
Detective asks: What information (clues) do you have about Mr. Shuang?
Female assistant A: What's wrong with Mr. Shuang's parents.... They have a daughter named XXXX, but she likes to call herself Lisa.
The detective asked again: Well, what else is there?
The female assistant replied again: Mr. Shuang has no pinky finger.
Detective: How do you know.
Female assistant: I wrote to ask.
Well, the above makes a partial answer. In the final scene of the movie, the cook takes off all disguise, takes off two fake pinky fingers, and smiles grimly.
Prompt these two details is not to understand a lot? Mr. Shuang himself said that he has no little finger, so the person who does not have a little finger is Mr. Shuang! The cook is Mr. Shuang! When the female assistant mentioned Shuang's parental information, she said that they have a daughter who is Lisa, and logically they should also say that there is another son who is Mr. Shuang! But no more! That means the couple only has one daughter named Lisa! It's not called Mr. Shuang!
Therefore, after clearing this relationship, we also understand that in fact, Mr. Shuang = Lisa = Chef!
As for the housekeeper, we can't deduce whether he was killed or not, because that's not the focus of the movie, but we can at least deduce that the man exists because he and the cook appeared at the same time.
Therefore, what is most worth thinking about in this work is not who was killed, nor who killed who, but the relationship between Mr. Shuang and her family.
I think the director may be teasing us secretly: you stupid humans, you just missed the point. . .
