I'm human too, why should there be a difference

To Qifeng used a simple and clear way to explain what is called "there is a ghost in the heart". The so-called "ghost" refers to those unseen "thoughts", or evil deeds. In "Seven Deadly Sins", the consequences of committing the seven deadly sins of human nature referred to by Catholic doctrine are shown one by one. In "The Detective", Gao Zhiwei has seven "ghosts" on his own. And each of these ghosts has its own independent "ghost personality" - relative to "personality".
What is more interesting is Du Qifeng's positioning of female characters. When the detective was brought back to the police station by He Jiaan for the first time, he saw the heart of a police officer, a woman who was mean and full of disbelief and sarcasm towards him.
Gao Zhiwei's biggest mastermind was also set by Du Qifeng as a female ghost - she was cold and scheming, and after Gao Zhiwei was killed, she followed He Jiaan.
In He Jiaan's transformation, his girlfriend played a key driving role. Of course, it may just be a part of the reality of He Jiaan's personality, speaking through the mouth of his girlfriend.

It seems that it is impossible to find a person who is completely unified, just like the political structure between countries in the world, more of a balance of interests, various personalities compromise and cooperate with each other, so that the "me" as the flesh can obtain "them" considered the greatest benefit.
"I'm also human, why should there be a difference." The words that the detective said when he shot Gao Zhiwei is the core of the whole movie. With this sentence, Du Qifeng has completely finished what he thought: in the face of real conflicts, no one can completely maintain their own nature. No one survived.
I am human too, why should there be a difference.
