In the summer of 1999, at the turn of the century, there was a case of dismembering a corpse in Harbin. Within a few days, the bodies of the deceased were scattered by the goddess to more than a dozen counties in Heilongjiang Province. And Liao Fan, the police officer of the Criminal Police Force who was responsible for solving the case, had just divorced. In the hotel, he played cards with his wife and made the last love. His wife had no intention of playing cards, and Liao Fan corrected the other party's cards again and again. In the end, when he bid farewell to his wife to leave, his feelings overcame the pretentious composure he had always maintained. He even wanted to force the woman who had divorced him to have sex on the station in broad daylight, but of course he was fiercely resisted by his ex-wife. Call him mentally ill.
Through the ID card in one of the body parts (please note why the murderer left this clue), the police found that the deceased was named Liang Zhijun. He is the manager of the scales of coal trucks. He is usually honest and reticent, and only passes the time by playing chess with the only chess player. When informing the family of the deceased, Liang Zhijun's wife, Gui Lunmei, covered her face with her hands and sobbed, but her long bare legs under her hot pants were very sexy and charming. The police couldn't find the motive for Liang Zhijun's murder. They could only start with the method of transporting the shredded corpse. They suspected that the last couple of truck drivers who suddenly drove to a dozen coal transportation points to deliver coal, why did the two brothers rush to take the coal. Delivered to so many places, and it won't be long before you stop delivering coal by car? At night, Liao Fan took people to the hair salon to interrogate the two brothers. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly shot and resisted. The two brothers and two police officers were killed. Liao Fan was also injured and admitted to the hospital. (Please note that although it is summer, the summer in Harbin is not hot at this time, everyone is wearing long pants, which is in contrast to Gui Lunmei's hot pants)
After being discharged from the hospital, Liao Fan was driven out of the hospital by his subordinate Xiao Wang. His first thought was to visit the family members of the deceased comrades in arms (he was really a kind person), but was persuaded by Xiao Wang. He said that the emotions of the family members had just been Calmness should not be disturbed. At this moment, it's better to take a bath and beat the back to let people massage and relax. Stopping halfway, Xiao Wang gave Liang Zhijun’s relics to Gui Lunmei. Liao Fan, who was sitting in the car, saw Gui Lunmei for the first time. When Xiao Wang returned to the car, he told Liao Fan that Gui Lunmei was burying her husband’s ashes in the laundry at her work. Under the tree in front of the store. This is a very strange behavior, and Liao Fan remembered this abnormal behavior. Immediately after the car started, the two of them traveled through a long underground passage...
In 2004, five years later, one winter night, Liao Fan had become a drunken decadent crying beside the road. Not only did he lose the warmth of his family after the divorce, but he also lost his job as a police officer due to his injuries. The double failure of his career and family made him indulge in alcohol anesthesia all day long. After he was discharged from the army and entered the security department of a factory, he often drank and ate by mistake, and was reprimanded by the leaders and laughed at by his colleagues. When he was awake, he saw the lonely old man sitting alone in the snow and ice on the bench in the community, as if he saw his future. At this time, he found a car parked on the side of the road. Sitting in the car was his former subordinate Xiao Wang, who has now become the captain of the criminal police. Liao Fan got into the other party's car unceremoniously, and the meeting with old friends was naturally extraordinarily cordial. Captain Wang did not shy away from explaining that he was engaged in a surveillance mission. It turned out that Gui Lunmei, who worked in the laundry, had two corpse homicides successively. The deceased were all businessmen who pursued Gui Lunmei (one of them was even going to marry Gui Lunmei soon). They all wore skates on their feet, so the police suspected that the deceased was killed at the Wild Ice Arena (please pay attention to this detail, why did the murderer not take off the skates of the deceased, but left this clue to the police?).
Liao Fan didn't imagine the old man on the bench eating and waiting to die. He began to follow his Gui Lunmei, hoping to solve the case to make his life meaningful. Although this has not changed his life, it can at least delay the emergence of the sense of failure in his heart. He didn't know that someone secretly started to stare at him at this time. At this time, an astonishing incident of eyeballs appearing in the noodles of a diners suddenly occurred in a street food restaurant, indicating that the murderer was still dealing with the body parts of the victims. The main suspect of the police at this time is the owner of the laundry shop. Liao Fan went to the door to deliberately talk, and asked why the boss didn't open a "mom and pop shop" with Gui Lunmei. The boss replied, don't joke, even if you are willing, but others will not (please note that the boss did not answer that it is impossible because he already has a wife, This proves that the boss is still single at this time). Then he told Liao Fan that he was completely sympathetic to Gui Lunmei. When the laundry opened in 1999, she damaged a customer's leather cloak. The other party asked her to pay a huge sum of money. fire her. The police continued to track the owner of the laundromat and found that he was still single. Although he was looking for a lady, he only asked the other party to wear various skirts and costumes instead of having sex. Plus the boss always wears a wig on his head. All this seems to imply that the boss is incompetent. So the suspicion of him was basically ruled out. At this time, Captain Wang, who went deep into the neighborhood committee to investigate the situation, saw a horse without an owner in the neighborhood committee. He heard people in the neighborhood committee say that it was a horse from a waste collector in the community, but he had not seen its owner for many days (because No new bodies were found, so the horse's owner should not have been killed. So what's keeping him so busy that he can't find time to take care of the horse? It must be something that makes him desperate. For example, being busy around Throwing corpse pieces, throwing eyeballs into other people's noodle pots when people are not paying attention, and making people eat them like bull's-eyes - why didn't this murderer take the method 5 years ago and throw the corpse pieces onto the coal truck What about distracting the police? It seems that he is afraid that the same method will expose himself. Moreover, spreading corpses in the downtown area has a certain effect of deliberate publicity, so who does he show it? Is he trying to remind anyone? And since it is publicity, it seems that the corpse at this time is no longer purely for the purpose of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, but with a certain emotional vent, what is the murderer venting?).
Gui Lunmei initially regarded Liao Fan, who was following her, as an ordinary suitor, because Liao Fan was not present when the police came to inform her husband of her death five years ago. Later, Gui Lunmei buried the bones under the tree, and Liao Fan also hid in the car, so Gui Lunmei did not know his true identity. So Gui Lunmei left a note to Liao Fan, telling him to stop following her. She was well-intentioned and feared that another innocent person would be killed. But when Liao Fan followed Gui Lunmei again at night, he was surprised to find that his motorcycle was damaged and could not start. Looking at the footprints left in the snow, he realized that the murderer was following him. Liao Fan and Captain Wang decided to set a trap to lure the murderer, so Liao Fan came to Gui Lunmei again the next day. At this time, the owner of the laundry was sexually harassing Gui Lunmei. Five years ago, he was the one who sat beside her and watched her cry and handed over the tissue paper silently. Now he has changed from a young man in full bloom to a fat-headed and thankful. The incompetent half-old man below the top. Gui Lunmei rejected him and hurt his hand. It happened that Liao Fan came to meet him. He went out to buy red potion and gauze, and drove away a customer who demanded laundry despite Gui Lunmei's injury, thus winning the favor of Gui Lunmei. Liao Fan was also happy, at this moment he also forgot his mission. From the moment he bought the red potion, the work of solving the case was replaced by the mutual care between men and women. So Gui Lunmei accepted to let Liao Fan take him home after get off work at night, but at the station Liao Fan rashly proposed to invite Gui Lunmei to go skating on the wild ice rink, which made Gui Lunmei immediately understand that Liao Fan's true identity was a policeman, and that Liao Fan did his best to What is your true purpose. At that moment, she started to have divine eyes and became confused again. She knew that the police had found the owner of the corpse, so she began to investigate herself, and hoped to lead out the murderer through herself. So Gui Lunmei quickly agreed to Liao Fan's invitation, and Liao Fan also noticed his mistake. In order to cover up him, he quickly said that he was not very good at skating, but Gui Lunmei said it was okay and could teach him, which made the police set up an ambush to arrest him. The murderer has become a certainty. So does Gui Lunmei hope that the murderer will kill Liao Fan, or will the police catch the murderer? Maybe both.
On the ice rink, Gui Lunmei did not teach Liao Fan how to skate. She had already seen through the identity of the other party, and she did not even perfunctory Liao Fan. She was skating on her own, with a rather desolate expression on her face. Is Liao Fan so sad? I'm afraid not. They haven't reached this level yet. It seems that they are only mourning that the unknowing murderer is falling into the trap of the police at this moment. Liao Fan saw Gui Lunmei quietly slip away from the crowd and slid into the distance along the Songhua River. He followed from behind, and Captain Wang followed far behind the two. Seeing that the darkness gradually began to engulf Gui Lunmei's lonely back, Liao Fan suddenly became impulsive. He knocked him down from behind and kissed Gui Lunmei. After she fell to the ground, Gui Lunmei was still looking around, looking for traces of the murderer or the police, but soon she was intoxicated with Liao Fan's warm kiss - the police's action plan was destroyed by Liao Fan! At this time, the ice rink staff called two people to return the skates (some friends thought it was Captain Wang, but in this way he was completely exposed, because Gui Lunmei knew Captain Wang, and the two had many contacts five years ago. A seasoned criminal policeman, he would not make such a low-level mistake. This also proves that the ice rink has stricter supervision on skaters, so the police, including Liao Fan, believed that Gui Lunmei led the two suitors to the ice rink to kill them. The conjecture is unrealistic. The truth is that the ice rink is not the first crime scene. Putting skates on the feet of the deceased is to create such an illusion for the police, and the purpose is to get Gui Lunmei out of suspicion. If the crime scene was in her room, she was making out with the other party at the time. , or let Gui Lunmei obtain a certificate of alibi at the time of the crime, everything will be a matter of course). Liao Fan then took Gui Lunmei to the midnight movie, as if the two had really forgotten everything and started to fall in love. The dedicated Captain Wang followed them all the time. At this time, the real murderer Wang Xuebing finally appeared and killed Captain Wang with the skates hanging around his neck! (Why does he always carry ice skates with him, it seems that this time he intends to wear it for Liao Fan)
The death of Captain Wang brought Liao Fan back to the cold reality again. He got into Captain Wang's car to look for clues, and got on the bus by accident. The murderer Wang Xuebing has been following him for a chance to get off the phone. When I saw the skates on the other side in the small restaurant, I immediately understood that the murderer was in front of me. So Liao Fan took Wang Xuebing to a dance hall where he used to go. In a familiar environment, he not only got rid of the other party, but also tracked the murderer. Liao Fan followed the murderer all the way and saw Wang Xuebing throwing away the corpse in the same way 5 years ago. He understood that this was the real murderer of the case that was closed five years ago. When he arrived at the wild ice rink on the Songhua River, he had an idea to use the broadcast, which proved that Wang Xuebing's identity was the "dead" Liang Zhijun five years ago. Because only he, as a weighing inspector, has the conditions to commit the crime and disperse the body parts throughout the province. Now Wang Xuebing's job is a worker who takes ice from the frozen river and drives it, so skates are essential for him. And when he's free, he loves to spend time skating alone on the ice rink. He was as reticent as he was 5 years ago, the difference is that he doesn't even have a chess friend at the moment.
Wang Xuebing's identity was completely exposed, so he had to flee. He was forced to kill the police and throw the body in the same way five years ago. The purpose was to delay the time for the police to solve the case, but it was counterproductive. He left a lot of money to Gui Lunmei (very unusual, a person who was about to flee should have brought a lot of money to go out, but instead he left a lot of money to Gui Lunmei). And caressed his wife, but Gui Lunmei avoided indifferently. Wang Xuebing didn't know that his wife had betrayed him. Liao Fan had talked to Gui Lunmei before, but Gui Lunmei, who was struggling in his heart, refused to explain. Liao Fan's words "you still have a long time in the future" moved her, so she pretended to be innocent All the stolen goods were planted on Wang Xuebing's head, and he also said that her husband has been incognito to inspect himself these years (since he is under surveillance, there is nothing more than a person who pretends to pick up garbage, and can openly haunt the community where Gui Lunmei lives, and at the same time he is not a serious job, so There is no need to provide identity files. So Wang Xuebing is the owner of the horse who broke into the neighborhood committee.), and finally explained how to connect with him. At this moment, the police have begun to ambush, and Gui Lunmei also said to Wang Xuebing who was about to go out, "More "Wait." The two finally went out. Wang Xuebing dropped his skates, which were soaked by the dripping water from the bathroom and seemed to be crying. On the way, he wanted to hug his wife several times, but for the first time. Gui Lunmei ducked, and the second time Wang Xuebing didn't dare. Wang Xuebing, who went to the grocery store to buy cigarettes, noticed that something was wrong, and he was shot and killed by the police when he tried to escape from the encirclement. In fact, at this time, if he wanted to save his life, he could take Gui Lunmei as a hostage, but he was afraid of hurting his wife. This poor man who likes to meditate didn't even dare to look at his wife for the last time when he ran past Gui Lunmei...
After dealing with the cremation of the body, Liao Fan followed Gui Lunmei after get off work. The latter refused to approach him again. Liao Fan said that he wanted to protect her. At this time, Captain Liu of the Criminal Police Force asked Gui Lunmei to explain the whereabouts of the bones of the deceased in the unnamed corpse dismemberment case five years ago. Gui Lunmei said that he threw the bones into the river. However, Liao Fan, who was beside her, had seen with her own eyes the process of burying her bones under the tree. Why did this woman lie? What secret does she have to protect? The people of the criminal police team were obviously dissatisfied with Liao Fan still appearing around the suspect, and Captain Liu glared at him fiercely. It seems that the current Liao Fan has almost returned to the police force to become a police officer, or is applying to be transferred to the police station. Otherwise, there is no need for the police to interfere with the actions of an outsider. In order to avoid the stares of his police colleagues, Liao Fan hid in the laundromat. Many, but Gui Lunmei never said cold, why is this?). At this time, a customer came to wash the leather cloak. Linked to the scene just now, Liao Fan looked at the tree outside the window that looked dreary green under the light, and understood everything. What Gui Lunmei is protecting is actually herself. So he asked the owner of the laundromat about the whereabouts of the owner of the leather cloak five years ago, and finally found his wife. It turned out that the owner of the leather cloak disappeared 5 years ago (it seems that he was the corpse who was used by Wang Xuebing to pretend to be himself), and the cause of death was that he was called away by a strange woman (obviously Gui Lunmei). The wife of the owner of the leather cloak now runs an entertainment city called "White Sun Fireworks", which was originally a bar also called "White Sun Fireworks" five years ago, and the deceased is the owner of the bar. It seems that 5 years ago, Gui Lunmei lured and killed the boss because he couldn't pay for the damaged leather cloak. At this time, the proprietress said a meaningful sentence, "Now the shotgun has been replaced by the cannon, but no matter how beautiful or bad the past is, the memory will not change" - Liao Fan, who walked out of the entertainment city, looked up at the "Daylight Fireworks". The neon lights flickered, and the contemplation was silent.
In the evening, Liao Fan asked Gui Lunmei to go to the amusement park to watch the performance, and Gui Lunmei came at the appointment (she originally refused to contact Liao Fan with her after her husband died, and the two walked in tandem, not side by side, but at this time, she refused to contact Liao Fan again. Promise to make an appointment late at night, why?). She apologized that she was late, and Liao Fan noticed that Gui Lunmei was wearing a fashionable dress, which was different from seeing her wrapped in a gray coat all day, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while. . Liao Fan took Gui Lunmei on the Ferris wheel, and asked Gui Lunmei why there was no performance on it. Liao Fan asked her to look in the direction of his finger. Gui Lunmei saw the neon lights of "daytime fireworks" flickering in the distance, so she also knew that Liao Fan finally understood. the truth. She limped down, and her face was ashen when she fell into Liao Fan's arms. Liao Fan asked her to take the initiative to confess, and said that it was better for her to tell herself than to tell others in the future, so Gui Lunmei began to listen to his words and "take the initiative". After the two people lingered all night, they had breakfast together in the morning. Liao Fan took Gui Lunmei to a snack bar for breakfast, but Gui Lunmei, the bun who came up, didn't touch it at all, just made an appointment with Liao Fan to meet in the evening, and then drank the porridge casually and put the bowl away. She put down the lipstick, and then she got up and left with the excuse that she was going to the laundry to open the door. Liao Fan looked out the window and she actually beckoned to get into a taxi instead of riding to work all the time, and her expression became complicated.
Liao Fan quietly came to the laundry and hesitated. And Gui Lunmei, who was in the store, looked at her clean and clean fingers with a numb expression. She never looked at her hands like that when she was injured last time. When she met Liao Fan for the first time, she picked up the leather pants left by the other party and found the contents, and lit a cigarette inside the leather pants. people.
Liao Fan reported Gui Lunmei. When Gui saw the remains under the tree dug up by the police, her face was grim and her eyes were cold. It is said that Wang Xuebing killed the person, but he just had a tryst with the owner of the leather cloak. Anyway, the dead person can't speak, and there is no evidence that the situation has changed over time. But after being taken to the police car, when the police brought the key leather cloak provided by Liao Fan, Gui Lunmei had obviously confided everything to Liao Fan last night, and when he saw the leather cloak, he knew that Liao Fan had betrayed him. It means that the police have everything under control. Maybe Liao Fan's pursuit of her after her husband's death was also arranged by the police, and her words may have been recorded by the police last night, so she immediately confessed all the facts of her crime.
At the police banquet, Liao Fan sat next to Captain Liu. There were a large number of participants. Obviously, it was not just a celebration feast in this case. It was enough to congratulate a few related people. This was obviously a New Year's party dinner within the police force. Liao Fan was able to sit so close to the captain and meet each other. Pushing the cup and changing the cup, it was obvious that he had returned to the police station and became a policeman again. He sold Gui Lunmei to get himself back to a job that suits him, but he was not happy in his heart. During the day, he came to the ballroom again, where the teacher was teaching everyone ballroom dancing. Liao Fan greeted an old dancer he knew before. The milfs didn't take him seriously. To disco music, Liao Fan danced beside the ballroom dancers like no one else. Who knows him and who cares about him? The case has been solved, and he has returned to the state of the underdog again - he still has no family, and his career is just a grassroots who needs to tout his superiors.
The police took Gui Lunmei to the place where she and Wang Xuebing lived 5 years ago to identify (this is why Wang Xuebing can install scavengers in the community where Gui Lunmei lives. Because she moved, the neighbors of the new place of residence have not seen her. previous husband). Today, the owners of the house, the fat man and the pregnant mistress, sat silently on the bed, listening to Gui Lunmei and the police explaining the location and method of the murder. Under the same roof, they form a contrast with Wang Xuebing Gui Lunmei and his wife (what makes the latter form a different life trajectory?). When they walked out of the building, when the police brought Gui Lunmei into the car, various fireworks were launched from the roof of the community. Although it is the Chinese New Year, the good-looking fireworks should be reserved for the night, and only the fireworks should be fired during the day. Who was so impatient and unreasonable to set off fireworks, it turned out to be Liao Fan. Gui Lunmei looked at the daytime fireworks blooming all over the sky, her indifferent and serious expression gradually softened, and she even became intoxicated. Finally, when she boarded the police car and left, a smile appeared on her face - the fireworks, although they were whitewashed. It is covered up by the sun, but whether it is beautiful or bad, it has stayed in people's memory - this is Liao Fan courting Gui Lunmei, no matter what Gui Lunmei's past, she has been deeply imprinted into Liao Fan's mind middle. The two people who have let go of their heavy burdens can finally start to fall in love in a down-to-earth manner.
The last scene: The biggest firework rose up in the sky, and a group of pigeons flew over below, and the fireworks bloomed!
Summary: What does the whole story illustrate? By comparison, we can see that it basically revolves around Wang Xuebing's treatment of Gui Lunmei and Liao Fan's treatment of Gui Lunmei. Wang Xuebing gave everything he had for his wife, but Gui Lunmei did not respect him. Instead, he wanted to get rid of him because he was unwilling to be poor and lonely, and even sold him after the police found out, which led to the destruction of his husband; She refused to eat buns, and after her husband died, she began to wear fashionable clothes, and when she went out to fight, she saw that this was not a burden that she could afford. If he also pampers Gui Lunmei like Wang Xuebing, then he will be used like Wang Xuebing in the end, and he will either be killed or kicked away after he has no value in using it. So he hesitated outside the laundry and chose to report Gui Lunmei in exchange for his future. But Liao Fan is Liao Fan after all, he is not Gui Lunmei, he is a man of temperament, and his report also has the danger of seeing that Gui Lunmei uses men to shield himself from trouble and does not really treat the man who shields himself from trouble. A dance on a tightrope. Indeed, Gui Lunmei is very attractive. For example, when the laundry owner finally gave Gui Lunmei a scarf when she was taken away, she was afraid that she would freeze. When men faced beautiful women, especially smart ones, they were like moths to the flames. everything. While saving Gui Lunmei, Liao Fan also saved Liao Fan himself.
