Part of the plot understanding of "National Case" (serious spoilers)

It turned out to be a discussion in the forum, very scattered, organized into the film review memo, not suitable for reading.


1. Why did the killer kill the pizza delivery twice?
2. Who is the killer going to kill in the end?
Ask here first, and analyze it when you have time!
The first question, the killer killed the pizza giver twice because he saw his face. The killer's photo has been in the newspapers, taken with members of Congress. If anyone recognizes him, it must involve members of Congress, so everyone who sees his face must be killed.
The second question is an extension of the first, precisely because the reporter (Crow) saw his face, he wanted to kill him before he found out, so the purpose was to kill (Crow). The female reporter had also seen him, but the killer had no idea.

First of all, the murderer who killed Sonia is certain. Whoever is related to him is the mastermind. The killer and the Senator once served in a company. Naturally, the Senator is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Secondly, before the congressman went to the newspaper with his wife, his wife had obviously been persuaded, otherwise Anne would not have gone. It was during the persuasion process that details of Sonia's salary were revealed so Anne would know.
In the end, the killer went to kill the reporter, apparently following him, not the congressman's notice.

1. The congressman's wife is a reporter's friend, so it shouldn't be a collusion, and the collusion has no value, but one more person knows.
2. In the movie, when the congressman explained the conspiracy of the Vertex Group to the newspaper, he was interspersed with the shot of the killer preparing the gun, and then the killer made a phone call. It should be that the congressman had contacted the killer before going to the newspaper office. After he finished telling the story and the newspaper was published, he killed the reporter. It looked more like the Apex company was outraged and killed. But unfortunately, it was discovered that they met in front of the councilor's office.

    Russell finally degenerated from a gladiator into a middle-aged uncle. The queen is a completely irrelevant supporting role in this film. In addition to being handsome as always, Shuaiben has no breakthroughs. In contrast, I still love Rachel the most, with a bright future.
