Witness Pursuit: Tell a cold joke and never turn to the end.

Movies in Taiwan Province Province are like a chronicle of Chinese dialects, with a nice cover, solid content and an inclusive ending.

The feature of Witness Pursuit is that the plot has multiple reversals. As the director said, the murderer left it to the audience to judge for themselves. Another feature is that the film is not in the order of events. You follow the camera to find the murderer, but everyone is responsible for the victim, even if the victim is the murderer himself. When I saw the man burning the check with tears in his eyes, I felt that he was kind at that moment, but that didn't wash away his sins.

The main story revolves around how the male host Qi approached the truth of a car accident nine years ago and a kidnapping case related to the car accident through investigation and tracking:

At the beginning of the movie, Xiao Qi (Kaixun Zhuang), as a newspaper reporter, met a car accident on the expressway. As a party, legislators and the bidding model are unconscious. He immediately took photos, edited the news and sent it to his boss, Maggie (Xu Weining). On the way back to the newspaper, I also met a car accident, and the new car BMW Xiaohong was seriously damaged. Qi's good friend Aji helped him check the condition of the car and told him that Qi didn't buy a new car, but an obviously modified middle-aged car. With his relationship with the police station, Qi asked Captain Wang of the police station to help investigate the vehicle information. This is the first time he has met awei. Awei is a new policeman. At the request of the team leader, he helped Qi find the vehicle information. Ricky went back to the newspaper for a meeting. At the meeting, Wen Zhong, deputy editor-in-chief, expressed doubts about the news about the extramarital affairs of legislators provided by Li Qi, and asked for investigation and verification. Editor-in-Chief Qiu Jingkai (Dai Liren) also asked Ricky to check it again. In the end, the matter went away. It was Qiu Jing's retirement party that day. As his favorite students, Qi and Maggie were praised by everyone. In the evening, Qi sent Maggie home. He always liked her, but he was always rejected. On the same day, Maggie was sent home together, and Maggie burst into tears, so she had the opportunity to hold her in her arms. The next day, Xiao Qi woke up to find that his news caused a great confusion. The car with the legislator is not a gentle model mistress, but a secretly registered wife. Maggie told Qi that she had fired herself from her boss, and Qi also lost her job in the newspaper. At this point, Qi also got the vehicle information of the police station. He found that the car was related to a car accident he witnessed nine years ago. Through the newspaper's system, he found the cases related to the car accident that year: the driver who caused the accident has not yet been brought to justice, the victim male has died, and another woman disappeared during hospitalization, and her whereabouts are unknown. In addition, a few days before the car accident, a girl kidnapping case occurred, and it has not been closed within one month after the car accident.

Besides, I think there's another clue, awei.

Awei was the third person in the kidnapping gang, and the background of this person was inserted in the second half. As a murderer, awei can actually work in a police station, which is a bit divorced from reality, but it is not surprising that the police station in the film is obviously a place to shelter evil people and shelter evil practices. This clue is developed from awei's perspective. He followed Xiao Qi to find Xu Aiting, the surviving woman in the gang. It turned out that when the other two went to get the ransom, awei brutally killed the kidnapped girl because she couldn't stand crying. At this time, his partner left him the ransom and drove away, and there was a car accident on the road. Awei found a car accident along the way and took all the money. Then secretly transferred Xu Aiting to his own home and imprisoned him, taking care of her while laundering money. However, Xu Aiting took advantage of her slackness, absconded with money and disappeared for nine years. Now he finally has a chance to get his money back.

And why did Qi suddenly start investigating the car accident nine years ago and try as hard as awei to find Xu Aiting? This answer is actually because the stolen money is less than two million, which is the center of the triangle formed by these three people, and it is true to a certain extent. The director didn't explain it directly, but inserted five clips from the night of Xiao Qi's car accident, each of which was richer and closer to the truth.

1. At the beginning of the movie, Qi heard the sound of a car accident, went out with a camera and flashlight and got back in the car.

2. Qi began to think back after getting the information of the car accident at the police station. At that time, he tried to call the police in the rainstorm, but the mobile phone had no signal and it was impossible to confirm whether the injured person was dead.

Talking to Aji about the car accident nine years ago, he said, "It's so fucking small. A lot of things just go around and come back to you. Everything is destined to be good. " This is a picture of Qi holding a flashlight in the back seat of the car, as if he was surprised by what he saw. Actually, I just saw a bag of cash.

4. When awei mentioned 2 million yuan to Xiaoqi, Xiao Qi paused, and then a bag of cash flashed in the picture.

At the end of the film, Xiao Qi, as the public relations director of new media, tells a cold joke about a ghost story with a spring breeze. Only then did the director tell the whole story.

There are several small details in the film:

1. Watch this. Qi found his watch stopped at 12: 45 for the first time. It happened after awei discovered Xu Aiting's residence and took it away. At the end of the movie, the watch suddenly started to turn again, which happened when Qi killed awei, then compromised with reality, put on the cloak of "self-defense" and pulled away from the case. This is worth pondering.

Step 2 check. Qi fell behind in the process of looking for Xu Aiting, so he wrote a check for Xu Aiting as the designated person in the torture, but cruelly, he could only burn it to her in the end.

When Maggie and Qi almost had a car accident, they looked worried, which was actually related to the car accident she was brewing nine years ago.

The film guides you to open every possibility, and then reverses the plot, which is a bit like Invisible Guest. Compared with the cause of these farce-the kidnapping of girls, we didn't even see whether the police later revealed the truth to the world. This may be the director's intention, because justice in the film is really off-line. Unlike some movies, which have to end with narration or criminal's active explanation, Witness leads the audience to a question with a cold joke. The listener intentionally or unintentionally: Is every truth worth revealing? Qi's original intention is to compensate Xu Aiting for the damage caused by these nine years. With the development of the situation, more and more people are involved. In the end, Xu Aiting can only be a fish in the knife. What's more, stakeholders will only open the wrong window for him, and no matter how they look out, they can't see the truth. As Qiu Jingkai said, Qi doesn't want to be a hero for fifteen minutes. He dug up the truth himself, but in the end he chose to hide it. Some people think that his smile represents complete blackening. In my opinion, it is just a personality mask.

Chasing the Witness reminds me of two sentences. The first sentence is that curiosity kills cats, but curiosity makes human beings have wisdom; There is also a saying that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and heaven is good for reincarnation.
