Some key plots laid before the film:
1. Gao Zhiwei lost his gun, and his colleague Wang Guozhu, who had been filthy in the wallet incident before, insisted on reporting it, so Gao lost his mind, killed the king and seized the king's gun.
2. Gao Zhiwei's gun (hereinafter referred to as high gun) was picked up by a South Asian who stole the manhole cover.
3. In order to cover up the crime of missing a gun and homicide, Gao hacked the computer of the West Kowloon Police Station to change the records, exchanged the codes of the King Gun and Gao Gun, and used the King Gun to rob the loaner car and the convenience store, killing four people, and the police passed the ballistic inspection. It was the work of the king spear.
4. The South Asians robbed the Mahjong hall with high guns, but did not dare to shoot and kill.
5. In order to capture Gao, detective Chen Jiabin took He Jiaan's gun (hereinafter referred to as He Gun).
6. He Jiaan borrowed his girlfriend A Ling's gun (hereinafter referred to as Ling's gun) and followed Gao to arrest the South Asians.
Before the finale, the actual gun possession situation:
Gao Qiang -South Asian;
Wang
Qiang -Gao Zhiwei; He Qiang-Chen Jiabin;
Ling Qiang -He Jiaan.
The final shooting situation:
1. He Jiaan called Chen Jiabin. When Chen Jiabin answered the phone, Gao Zhiwei fired the first shot at Chen Jiabin, breaking the mirror.
2. Chen Jiabin fired a counterattack, smashing the mirror, and then the two shot at each other, but neither shot.
3. After that, the South Asians rushed out and shot Gao Zhiwei continuously, smashing the mirror (Du Qifeng likes glass too much, just like Wu Yusen likes pigeons).
4. The South Asians tried to escape by chaos, and the four of them formed a confrontation situation-the South Asians and Gao Zhiwei confronted each other, Chen Jiabin pointed the gun at Gao Zhiwei, and He Jiaan pointed the gun at Chen Jiabin.
5. After a conversation, Gao Zhiwei fired consecutive shots at the South Asians. Chen Jiabin had not yet fired. He Jiaan first shot Chen Jiabin continuously. Chen Jiabin's shots hit the floor and the South Asians and Chen Jiabin fell to the ground.
6. Gao Zhiwei kicked the gun in the hand of the South Asian man to the right, back-cuffed the South Asian man, and then removed the bullet from the king's gun. At this time, there is no shot of the gun, but the sound of the bullet landing and reloading can be heard. Moving back, Gao Zhiwei fired at the South Asians with a gun, then turned and shot He Jia'an.
7. Chen Jiabin fired at Gao Zhiwei, Gao Zhiwei counterattacked and fired at Chen Jiabin continuously. After the bullets in the chamber were fired, Gao Zhiwei dropped the gun. Chen Jiabin put the gun against Gao Zhiwei's forehead and shot a headshot after completing a redemptive self-conversation.
The shooting situation of each gun:
high gun-shot but only smashed the mirror without hitting anyone;
King gun-first smashed the mirror, then shot the South Asian, after changing the bullet, killed the South Asian first, then wounded He Jiaan, then shot Chen Jiabin and killed him (note: this ghost gun in a real case in Hong Kong police history is too awesome!);
He gun-first smashed the mirror, and finally killed Gao Zhiwei;
Ling gun-not fired before After the confrontation, he shot Chen Jiabin in succession.
Each person was shot:
South Asian-was shot several times by the king's spear, and died after changing the bullet;
Gao Zhiwei-was shot several times by He spear, and finally shot dead with a headshot;
Chen Jiabin-was shot by Ling In the end, he was shot by the king's spear and died;
He Jiaan-he was shot several times by the king's spear and was not dead.
A Ling-was not at the scene or assumed to be at the scene, but was not shot.
The final change of guns:
1. Chen Jiabin turned around, He Jiaan’s new personality appeared, Chen Jiabin fell dead, and He Jiaan began to lay out his guns and lie.
2. He Jiaan walked to Chen Jiabin, took the police officer's ID from his bag, wiped Chen Jiabin's fingerprints on the gun, and put it back into his holster.
3. He Jiaan called A Ling and told her to come to the scene, then unfastened the South Asian man’s handcuffs, picked up the high gun next to the South Asian man, wiped off the fingerprints, and stuffed it into Chen Jiabin's hand; then wiped the king spear next to Gao Zhiwei Then it was stuffed into the hands of the South Asians; the first spear array layout was completed-Ling and He spears were in He Jiaan's hands, the high spears were in Chen Jiabin's hands, the King spears were in the hands of South Asians, and Gao Zhiwei had no guns in his hands.
4. He Jiaan changed the South Asian king spear to Chen Jiabin, and Chen Jiabin's high spear to Gao Zhiwei, completing the second spear array arrangement-Ling spear and He spear were in He Jiaan's hand, the king spear was in Chen Jiabin's hand, Gao spear In Gao Zhiwei's hands, the South Asians have no guns in their hands.
5. He Jiaan felt wrong again, so he stuffed the high spear from Gao Zhiwei into the hands of the South Asians to complete the third spear array arrangement-Ling and He spears are in He Jiaan's hands, the high spears are in the hands of the South Asians, the king spear In Chen Jiabin's hands, Gao Zhiwei had no guns.
The following will analyze the different outcomes of the three gun changes through permutations and combinations, and help He Jiaan write a closing report: The
first combination: Ling Gun and He Gun in He Jiaan's hands, Gao Gun in Chen Jiabin's hands, and King Gun in the hands of South Asians , Gao Zhiwei has no guns in his hands.
1. Chen Jiabin has a high gun, but has not shot anyone. Why does he have Gao Zhiwei's gun? How should it be explained? He fired several shots but didn't hit anyone, so who did he shoot at? Also, why was he shot by the king's spear of the South Asian and Ling's spear of A Ling?
2. Why did Gao Zhiwei's gun come to Chen Jiabin's hand? Since he is a good sex, why was he beaten to death by his colleague He Jia'an?
3. The South Asians held the king's spear. This is what the police knew before. The South Asians used the gun to rob and kill many times. This time they also wounded Chen Jiabin and He Jiaan with the king's spear. But how did he shoot himself several times with a gun, killing himself? Only on this point, the combination has a fatal flaw.
4. He Jia'an has his own gun. Why does his opponent Gao Zhiwei, who has no guns, fire several shots and get a headshot at the end? Give a reason first.
5. A Ling holds her own Ling gun, why did she shoot Chen Jiabin? This is also difficult to explain, because obviously her first target under this combination should be South Asians.
In short, this combination PASS.
The second combination: Ling Qiang and He Qiang are in He Jiaan's hands, Wang Qiang is in Chen Jiabin's hands, Gao Qiang is in Gao Zhiwei's hands, and the South Asians have no guns in their hands.
1. Chen Jiabin and the South Asians are accomplices. Together, they killed Wang Guozhu and took the king's spear, and they used the king's spear to kill people. After the incident, Gao Zhiwei found out the truth and found them together with He Jia'an and A Ling. The two sides were in a match. Gao Zhiwei did not hit the target with his shooting skills, but he was a good one. Infighting broke out between Chen Jiabin and the South Asians. Chen Jiabin killed the South Asians with a king's spear and wounded He Jia'an. However, he also shot himself several times with this gun, which is completely unexplainable. Based on this alone, this plan was rejected again.
2. A Ling shot Chen Jiabin with Ling's gun. It's good to explain, but why did He Jiaan shoot at the good ** Gao Zhiwei until he was killed?
This scheme is even worse.
The third combination: Ling Qiang and He Qiang are in He Jiaan's hands, Gao Qiang is in the hands of South Asians, Wang Qiang is in Chen Jiabin's hands, Gao Zhiwei has no guns.
1. First of all, it is difficult to explain why South Asians and Chen Jiabin, two people who should not have guns, have guns in their hands.
2. It is also impossible to explain why Chen Jiabin killed himself with the king's spear.
3. Since Gao Zhiwei didn't have a gun in his hand, why did He Jiaan kill him with a gun? This problem is still unexplainable.
Therefore, this plan is the same as the second combination because the king spear is in Chen Jiabin's hands, and it cannot be reported.
From the above three gun formations, several basic conclusions can be drawn:
1. He Jia'an's gun must be in his own hands. It is only the basis for his solving the case and promotion, otherwise the appearance of the inner demon is meaningless.
2. Since He Jiaan possesses He Gun and Gao Zhiwei heads the gun, he must find the legitimacy of doing so.
3. Since He Jia'an called A Ling for help, that Ling gun must also be in her hand. Moreover, both He Jia'an and A Ling must be police officers who are properly performing official duties.
4. The King Spear is the ghost spear in the real incident in Hong Kong. It is the core of this case. This gun killed the South Asian and Chen Jiabin, so it must not be in the hands of these two people, otherwise it will become a contradiction of killing himself with a gun. . It can be inferred from this that the king spear can only be in the hands of Gao Zhiwei. In this way, Gao Zhiwei's crimes will all come to light.
5. As for the high gun, it can be in the hands of Chen Jiabin or South Asians. But in the hands of different people, there will be different story scripts.
The fourth combination: Ling Qiang and He Qiang are in He Jiaan's hands, Wang Qiang is in Gao Zhiwei's hands, Gao Qiang is in the hands of South Asians, and Chen Jiabin has no guns in his hands.
1. Gao Zhiwei lost his gun in the woods, then killed Wang Guozhu and took the king's gun. After that, he changed the computer records. At the same time, he used this gun to rob and kill in order to divert his attention. In order to cover up his crimes, kill people and take back his gun, he sneaked into the residence of the South Asians, trying to kill people and change his gun back. In the melee, he shot and killed the South Asians and wounded Chen Jiabin and He Jiaan in the melee. These are consistent with the facts.
2. These truths were investigated by Chen Jiabin, and then Chen Jiabin, He Jiaan, A Ling, and Gao Zhiwei came to the South Asian hideout. Gao Zhiwei shot and killed the South Asian and Chen Jiabin, and wounded He Jiaan.
3. The South Asians shot several people who came to arrest him, but because they had no shooting experience, they fired several shots and failed to hit the target.
4. He Jiaan shot and killed the real murderer Gao Zhiwei.
5. However, Chen Jiabin still suffered a gunshot wound from Ling's gun. How can this be explained? accidental injury? And fired several shots at close range in a row? I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass.
Conclusion: Basically it can be explained. But there is the fifth point of the shortcoming, that is, how to explain the legitimacy of Ling shot Chen Jiabin.
The fifth combination: Ling Qiang and He Qiang are in He Jiaan's hands, Wang Qiang is in Gao Zhiwei's hands, Gao Qiang is in Chen Jiabin's hands, and the South Asians have no guns in their hands.
1. Gao Zhiwei's situation is the same as the previous analysis.
2. He Jiaan shot and killed the real culprit Gao Zhiwei, which is also consistent with the previous analysis.
3. Here, Chen Jiabin has a high gun and fired several shots is an important basis for the legitimacy of A Ling shooting at him. So why does Chen Jiabin have a high gun? There are two explanations. One is that Chen Jiabin took it from the South Asians, and the other is that it was in Chen Jiabin's hands. There are two explanations for the first situation. One is that the South Asian was taken away by Chen Jiabin before his death, and the other is that the South Asian was taken away by Chen Jiabin after being killed by Gao Zhiwei. Regardless of the explanation, a basic argument is that Chen Jiabin has nothing to do with South Asians. The second explanation is strange. Why is the high gun in Chen Jiabin's hands? It shows that there is an unusual relationship between Chen Jiabin and South Asians, and there is a lot of room for imagination here. In short, Chen Jiabin used a high spear to arrest him and shot Gao Zhiwei, He Jiaan and A Ling who were from South Asians, and finally shot Gao Zhiwei's king spear and A Ling's spear and died. The South Asians were beaten to death by Gao Zhiwei because they had no weapons to defend themselves. Ling shot Chen Jiabin while performing official duties.
So far, the story of "The Detective" can be summarized as follows:
Chen Jiabin is not a supernatural detective. He is just a mentally ill patient. After the ear cutting incident, he left the police force and his wife divorced him. His life was deteriorating, and he had to mix with South Asians for petty theft (such as stealing a manhole cover). In the middle of the night, Gao Zhiwei and Wang Guozhu spent the night together. In the process of catching the thief, Gao Zhiwei lost his gun and was picked up by Chen Jiabin and the South Asians. Gao Zhiwei had a bad relationship with Wang Guozhu, and Gao Zhiwei was facing an appreciation. When Wang Guozhu was about to report, Gao Zhiwei killed and buried Wang Guozhu and took the king's spear. In order to divert investigative attention and cover up the crime, Gao Zhiwei changed the computer records and used the king's spear to rob the truck and the convenience store, killing four people. After taking the high guns, Chen Jiabin and the South Asian robbed the Mahjong hall only once. However, Chen Jiabin was a former police officer and knew that his feet would be exposed after the shot was passed through the ballistic inspection, so he did not shoot during the robbery. As the case could not be detected, He Jiaan happened to ask Chen Jiabin, a former police officer with special abilities, to help. Chen Jiabin pretended to agree, and pretended to fool He Jiaan with a special function, deliberately delaying the investigation. (It can also be made up that He Jiaan has suspected that Chen Jiabin is involved in the case through investigation, so he contacted Chen Jiabin for help in an attempt to arrest Chen Jiabin after Chen Jiabin revealed his flaws.) Gao Zhiwei found through the investigation that it was Chen Jiabin and the South Asian who had found him. So he went to the two-person hideout in an attempt to kill others, plant the blame, and exchange his guns. At the same time, He Jiaan also knew that Gao Zhiwei was related to the case, so he brought his girlfriend A Ling to the scene with Gao Zhiwei. At the scene, the three parties started a melee. Gao Zhiwei tried to kill everyone, so he killed the South Asian and Chen Jiabin, and wounded He Jia'an. After He Jiaan was wounded by Gao Zhiwei, he shot back and killed Gao Zhiwei. Chen Jiabin saw that his crimes were also exposed, and shot Gao Zhiwei, He Jiaan and others, but left the police force for too long without practicing, and the guns were emptied. A Ling also shot Chen Jiabin when she and He Jiaan were threatened. As a result, the case was solved and He Jiaan was still wounded with a gunshot wound, and he was undoubtedly promoted to become a rising star in the police circle. Ling assisted in solving the case and shot and shot the criminal Chen Jiabin. She also faced rewards and even promotion. All of Gao Zhiwei's crimes have been exposed, and there is no need to cover up for him. Although the South Asians are not guilty of death, the one who was killed by Gao Zhiwei has nothing to do with He Jiaan and A Ling. Chen Jiabin was a bad element cleared by the police, and he also refused to arrest and shoot at the police officers. It is understandable that Aling shot at him either in self-defense or on official duties. Moreover, Chen Jiabin's fatal gunshot wound was caused by Gao Zhiwei's king gun. .
What a perfect ending, it's just that the South Asians died, the detective was wronged, and they became two victims.
The Internet also provides an open-ended idea, that is, how He Jiaan arranges the gun formation is a logical paradox, so he called A Ling in the past not to help round the lie and form an offensive and defensive alliance, but to kill A Ling. Although the above explanation has been basically excellent, I think this idea is not only bold, but maybe this is the real mystery of Tou Qifeng and Wei Jiahui, so as to make the dark end of human nature to evil more coquettish and terrifying. Therefore, let's continue to analyze the death of A Ling, that is to say, she was killed by the gun to be able to round the lie most perfectly, and give this homework assigned by Du and Wei a full mark.
1. He Gun is obviously impossible, rule out.
2. Ling spear is also impossible, rule out.
3. King Spear. In this way, Gao Zhiwei is even more guilty, but there is a problem here, that is, he has emptied two bullets. Is Gao Zhiwei really a superman who can calmly exchange two bullets under the situation of one enemy three?
4. High spear, was shot to death by Chen Jiabin. In this way, A Ling's shot at Chen Jiabin is unbreakable, and it is best to hit two or more shots, the last shot is critical to kill, and the other guns are only shot in non-critical parts. In other words, Chen Jiabin shot and wounded A Ling, so A Ling shot back at Chen Jiabin and shot Chen Jiabin several times. Chen Jiabin continued to shoot and killed A Ling. Then, Chen Jiabin was shot to death by Gao Zhiwei, and He Jiaan shot Gao Zhiwei again. This explanation is definitely more reasonable and strict than that of A Ling being killed by the king spear held by Gao Zhiwei. For He Jiaan, it is even more important that all the parties involved are dead, and they can solve the case and be promoted as long as they submit this perfect report. If it is like the fifth combination above, because A Ling is immortal, the handle is held by her, and she will be restrained everywhere in the future. It will always be a threat. It is better to do it together. The dead will never tell the truth, and the truth will be rotten. He Jiaan's in his stomach.
Well, a perfect film, after the above complicated interpretation, finally came to an end.
In the past two years, I have read a lot of mystery novels. The most fascinating part of this type of novel is the final puzzle-solving part, which is crazy. However, there are very few who can be regarded by me as "the work of God", because this requires not only purely technical astonishment, but also profound thinking. For example, Granny's "Murder on the Orient Express", Quinn's "The Tragedy of Y", Carl's "Burning Court", Shimada's "Astrology", Nishizawa Yasuhiko's "Personality Transfer Murder", Higashino's "Suspect X Few novels, such as "Devotion" and Natsuhiko Kyoji's "Dream of Crazy Bone", can barely qualify for this title. Therefore, I boldly believe that the movie "The Detective" has a long aftertaste, open and confusing ending, which is enough to be called the title of "the movie". (Western suspense movies are temporarily put on hold, ha ha) Remember, you need to use the right brain to investigate the case, not the left brain, so that you can become a detective, ha ha:)
Finally, thanks to Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui for co-creating such a wonderful movie. Let me always keep a little hope for Hong Kong movies.
