After watching the movie once, many of the previous details seemed to be related but couldn't remember, so they were fragmented, so I got up early and watched the movie again, and finally it became clearer.
At the beginning of the film, there is a detail in the death of Wang Guozhu. After a fight, the South Asians fled, and then entered a long silence. It must be during that time that Gao Zhiwei killed Wang Guozhu, which was introduced later in the film. After that, the South Asians suddenly turned around on the way to escape. What does a person who escaped turn around for? Explain what sound he heard, and turned around to see Wang Guozhu being killed, which corresponds to the South Asians saying that people were killed by high-ranking people when the four people confronted each other later. At the moment when the Nanya man turned around, Gao was squatting. If he was chasing the Nanya man, how could there be a scene of squatting quietly? This hints at the occurrence of the murder, but at the beginning, the audience probably won't notice this detail .
The first part:
He Jiaan asked Chen Guibin to help with the case. His wife said: Chen Guibin, you promised me.
Contact the back, what did you promise?
He Jiaan had only reported for two days before Chen Guibin left the police station. And part of the wife's avatar left and stayed by Chen's side. "I also have a hunch that you will be killed by those bad things." The part of his wife's personality that loves him more than suspicion remains by his side, but on the condition that "don't go out to investigate cases again, don't use his supernatural powers to do things again", In fact, it is to hope that he will be a normal person who looks normal to the world.
Nine months after the murder, the first case: the gangster robbed the mahjong hall, but did not shoot. It can be seen from the picture that the gun was a 38 police gun.
Three days later, the second case: robbing a bank, three cashiers were killed, bullets came from Wang Guozhu.
A week later, the third case: robbing a convenience store, from Wang Guozhu.
For the first time, there is a strong female personality, and all the personalities that lead people to do bad things after that are women.
Also worth noting,
Through the video, Chen Guibin could not see Gao Zhiwei's split personality. Therefore, it can be judged that personality can only be seen from real people. So Chen decided to follow him. This part of the track is quite exciting, and the music here is brisk and mysterious. Gao Zhiwei's personality has been increased from 5 to 7. And he was going to a place to walk a little, and then turn back. It can be seen that he has already felt that someone is following but he is not sure, showing the inevitable cautious and suspicious of a person with multiple personalities.
During the meal, Chen Guibin knew that the fat man was greedy, that the leader was a woman, and that the man who shot him was a ferocious man, but that man was only reckless, and everyone around him reminded him not to shoot!
Why can't you just shoot? At first I just thought it was because he was a cop. After reading it once, I knew that if he fired this shot, others would know that the gun in his hand belonged to Wang Guozhu.
Many people here may not understand. I also learned after reading a certain film review: Gao Zhiwei’s changed gun number was only local, and the officer at the back also said, “I usually just have a look at it if there is nothing else, and the autopsy is like an autopsy. Treat your colleague as a thief." At that time, the screen switched to a few stacks of money on Gao Zhiwei's desk, which was a sarcasm. This shows that the usual local inspections are superficial, and here we can't help but sigh that the people who commit evil are so daring. The evil woman's personality in Gao Zhiwei's heart also gradually became stronger after doing that wrong thing. When a case happened, the bullets on the deceased were inspected by higher departments. Of course, Gao Zhiwei would not let others see his gun, so it seemed that the Sanzhuang case was done by the person who robbed Wang Guozhu. . Gao Zhiwei took advantage of this, so when he was not masked, he could not shoot.
Chen Guibin said: "Damn fat man, why can't this gun be fired?" Remind the audience that grabbing is the key. And when I first saw it, I was just as confused as He Jiaan.
After that, there was a paragraph that I didn't quite understand. In the first robbery case, why didn't the South Asians shoot? If he fired this shot, Gao Zhiwei would have no chance. And why didn't he shoot. Chen Guibin's explanation was that the person who robbed the mahjong hall was not that bad.
In the woods, He Jiaan asked him, "Then do you see anything bad in me?" Chen Guibin didn't answer. Before that, the two people he saw at the table, his wife and He Jiaan, at this time He Jiaan had never had any bad things, he was just a child without firm belief, and he was willing to believe in Chen Guibin for the time being. So he didn't dare to say anything, he didn't know what this person would become in the future.
I'm not sure if He Jiaan was buried or it was an accident. In short, here he got a gun that allowed him to search Gao Zhiwei and also saw the kind personality Gao Zhiwei left in the woods. The personality here is based on human nature. His face appeared, just like the personality of Chen Guibin's wife who stayed by his side.
Here he is sure that Gao Zhiwei killed Wang Guozhu, but he doesn't understand what all this has to do with guns, why does Gao Zhiwei want so many innocent people after killing Wang Guozhu?
He Jiaan came to Chen Guibin's house, but accidentally met Chen Guibin's ex-wife Zhang Meihua. Zhang Meihua here is a woman who has lost her love for Chen Guibin's personality, so she is mean to Chen Guibin's every remark without any nostalgia. In her heart, Chen Guibin is just a neurotic with an abnormal mind. At this time, He Jiaan was full of doubts and worries about losing his gun. With the advice of Zhang Meihua and the old lady in the neighbor, his trust in Chen Guibin dropped by half.
I have never been able to understand the part about Chen Guibin who kept eating the dishes ordered by Gao Zhiwei at that time. Maybe it's just the so-called "toilet scene" arranged by the director, and it happens to be in the middle of the film at this time.
After Chen Guibin checked Gao Zhiwei with He Jiaan's police certificate, Gao Zhiwei was afraid and set up a bureau to blame the South Asians. As for whether the code-breaking part was after Gao Zhiwei killed Wang Guozhu or was investigated by Chen Guibin, there is no way to verify it. However, the former is more likely, because Gao Zhiwei's gun number in the local police station's file has been changed, and that file should have existed before. This clip is a bit confusing. It seems that Gao Zhiwei set up a game after changing the file. In fact, the difference is 18 months before and after. What's even more strange is that the paragraphs from Gao Zhiwei's murder, changing the file to setting up the bureau are actually in Chen Guibin's mind. The first two are facts that have already happened, and the latter is happening. It seems that Chen Guibin can meet. to what will happen later.
At this time, He Jiaan was investigating the bureau set up by Gao Zhiwei. When chasing after Gao Zhiwei, who was wearing a mask, another very eye-catching detail appeared. The shadow of He Jiaan suddenly became a big shadow. At this time, He Jiaan had already learned to use tricks to blind them, and bad psychological things began to work. He no longer believed in Chen Guibin, and the fear of being alone without a gun enveloped him, and the evil in his heart became clearer and clearer.
During the chase, Gao Zhiwei asked He Jiaan "where's the gun?", why did he ask that? Does He Jiaan have a gun and what does it have to do with his murder?
Facing Chen Guibin, He Jiaan was full of fear and doubts. The timid child personality in his heart was displayed in front of Chen's eyes. Why did Gao Zhiwei kill this child? Later, it was said that he wanted to grab He's gun. He said that Gao Zhiwei would kill him if He Jiaan took the gun. Why is that?
Seeing He Jiaan who already had something bad in his mind, Chen Guibin was very heartbroken: "Why, what happened?" "Don't mess up, we have solved the case." He also tried to remind He Jiaan, hoping that his personality would recover.
On the way, Chen Guibin's wife kept reminding him not to let him go, but he didn't listen, and then his wife's personality disappeared. At this time, the personality was extremely disappointed with Chen who repeatedly broke the contract, and returned to himself. So Zhang Meihua had a trace of love for Chen Guibin again in her heart, and went to a restaurant she had never been to since the divorce to find Chen Guibin. What happened after that was that the wife's personality officially left Chen Guibin and returned to Zhang Meihua.
Chen Guibin's life was completely disrupted and he lost his wife. The case was settled, and the police handling the case no longer believed him. Lingling's words reminded He Jiaan, adding another evil woman to He Jiaan's personality. When He Jiaan saw that the gun number in the local file matched with Gao Zhiwei's gun number, he didn't believe Chen Guibin at all and instead believed in Gao Zhiwei.
The plot after that was smooth. The slaughter between the mirrors is inhuman and inhuman, with shapes and shadows intertwined, until the mirror is completely shattered, and the true face of the person is exposed in the air, and the four people confront each other. In the end, there was no winner. Gao Zhiwei was dead, and Chen Guibin was also dead. Although he killed the bad guy, he saw another rising bad guy—He Jiaan. He Jiaan didn’t win either. What was in front of him was an unspoken story. Five Personally, with four guns, my own gun shot at Gao Zhiwei, but I still had to stay on myself, Lingling's gun had to be on Lingling's body, so there were three people left, two guns, a total of 6 ways, He Jiaan The division method has been changed, but none of them are reasonable. The picture darkens and the film ends.
An ending without an ending leaves room for thought. The distribution of guns heralds the ending of the film, which is the story He Jiaan wants to tell the police station. This story must be very bizarre. Everyone has to die.
Everyone has a bad side in their hearts, don't make her stronger. After Infernal Affairs, Detective is the first film that made me want to revisit and study after watching it. It is not perfect, but it is powerful enough.
When Chen Guibin held He Jiaan's gun at Gao Zhiwei's head, he said two words.
"Put down the gun, and you will be no different from other people when you shoot."
"I am also human, why should I be different."
This is actually a dialogue between his two personalities. In the end, he is also an ordinary person with bad things. The departure of his wife has disrupted his life. The world no longer needs him, and he has been unhappy. As his wife said, he was killed by those bad things.
