Chapter Eighty-Seven: There Is Light in the City
And the "refrigerator theory" of "City Lights of Psychological Crime" is that there is no evidence to be found.
In the movie, no matter how many people Jiang Ya killed and how many bad things he did, there was no evidence, and even Dafang walked up to the police and turned himself in, but the police couldn't do anything to him.
Such a setting is very "deliberate".
Of course, such a setting is deliberate and normal for crime movies, including "Seven Deadly Sins", Fang Mu and Minan in the movie can't find evidence of Jiang Ya's crime, which makes it the driving force for deriving the whole film.
Otherwise, you said that if Jiang Ya had given the police sufficient evidence when he committed the crime for the first time, then what else would the movie make? After all, the murderer had already been caught in the first chapter, and even the protagonist Fang Mu didn't have to appear.
Therefore, such a setting is a sacrifice in pursuit of emotional lay-out.
is like Fang Mu, who was willing to exhaust himself for a certain ideal, but in the end he found that this was an unfair transaction from the beginning, and what he got after giving everything was nothing more than a loss in exchange, and in this exchange, he also put himself in.
But there is no way, because he is a police officer.
Returning to the sentence of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", it is quite touching in comparison, maybe this city has evolved into a city of sin along the logic of "city lights", and we will still believe that this is just a superficial phenomenon, and the deep logic in this city should not be like this.
Because even a figure like Ren Xing would not dare to say that the rivers and lakes can develop according to his rules, let alone a serial killer who vainly tries to dominate the city for the sake of "violent selfish desires".
To prove this, it is necessary to go deep into the darkness, and those who believe in violence will eventually be planted in the face of violence.
So, Fangmu became the "light of the city".
"It's a wonderful world, and it's worth fighting for. ”
This sentence comes from the famous crime movie "Seven Deadly Sins", in this dark and violent movie, it ends with a gunshot from Brad Pitt, the movie is pessimistic, but there is also Morgan Freeman's words, but his later words are: "I only believe the second half of the sentence".
"It's a wonderful world, it's worth fighting for, I only believe the second half. ”
In fact, director David Fincher told the audience through the mouth of actor Morgan Freeman that in a quagmire world, people are miserable like that, and he still believes in the existence of justice.
Sometimes, geniuses do not die of admiration, they may die of loneliness, and sometimes criminals do not die of moral punishment, but may die of exhaustion.
In the second half of "City Lights of Psychological Crime", recalling the previous bet between Fang Mu and Jiang Ya in the interrogation room, we can find that it was Fang Mu who lost, and he became "City Lights".
But "City Lights for Psychological Sins" is not "The Seven Deadly Sins."
The protagonist played by Brad Pitt in "Seven Deadly Sins" completed the puzzle of the seven deadly sins of criminals at the cost of rage, sacrificing himself while resolutely executing the criminal in a way that fell into darkness, and the protagonist Fang Mu in "City Lights of Psychological Crimes" brought Jiang Ya to justice in the name of the police, and even in the name of the individual, he "lost".
In Fang Mu's view, such a "loss" is worth it.
Just like in "Slam Dunk", the invincible Rukawa Kaede met Eiji Sawakita, and when he was defeated and fell to the ground, the corners of his mouth showed the only smile in the entire comics.
That's a smile and a look in the eyes of a new goal!
Fang Mu is lucky, Remy, the author of the "Psychological Crime" series, once said that "City Lights" is Fang Mu's last novel, and he also found a real opponent in his last work, an opponent who can make him willing to give his life, and use procedural justice to end the violence, and he has no regrets in this life.
After all, the movie is a work in which evil prevails.
At the end of the original novel, there is this passage:
"People seem to understand the fact that, no matter how sinful the city may have been, there are always people who are willing to restore its tranquility with forgiveness and sacrifice. At a time when everyone has become a murder weapon, the name Fang Mu has become a legend. It represents the armor that is removed first, the smile that comes first, and the hands that are outstretched first. ”
Whether it is in this novel or in the script in Mu Qing's hands, such a story is presented - an ordinary people's policeman tells us with practical actions that reason and justice are the strong light that this city really needs.
"Violence is powerful, but even more powerful is courage and mutual forgiveness, and in the days of his absence, the warm sunshine shines on the whole city without hesitation. ”
Fairness is always relative, and no matter how hard we try, we can't achieve absolute fairness, but despite this, we still have to work tirelessly to create a more equitable society – and that's what this story of "City Lights of Psychological Crime" is trying to tell us.
This city, this world, is a "river and lake with people", and it will not evolve into a violent city according to the negative events of any immoral people, nor will it evolve into a violent city according to the rules of criminals who wantonly kill by borrowing the negative emotions of the masses.
The so-called criminals are not unscrupulous but well-versed in the way of the rivers and lakes, they just want to make the world evolve into their own world, but in the end the East is undefeated.
In the famous "Pandora's Box" story of Greek mythology, Pandora opened the box and released one hundred and eight kinds of evil, since then, disasters have harmed human beings day and night, everywhere, causing human beings to suffer, but at the bottom of the box, there is an angel called "Hope", everyone just saw the rampant evil, hope is just not easy to be discovered.
Mu Qing feels that his understanding of the role of Jiang Ya is very different from that of Jiang Ya in the previous life "City Lights of Psychological Crime", but the concept that this film wants to present in the end is still so solid.
There is light in this city, and all the darkness and sin in front of it is only a few shadows under the light, and this shadow will always be illuminated by the light that is sprinkled.
......
......
In the past few days bordering June and May, Mu Qing went to class when he had class, and when he didn't have class, he stayed at home to sort out his role, and when he was a little free, he went to the company to find teacher Gao Jianming to practice singing.
As for Tao Xiaowan's side, Mu Qing can be said to have clocked in regularly, but this check-in is often at mealtime.
On the one hand, he felt that Tao Xiaowan's hand was injured, and it should be very troublesome to cook by himself, but on the other hand, Mu Qing also wanted to improve his food, of course, he didn't eat recklessly, and he still insisted on fitness, after all, the Phantom Music program team had already contacted him, and he didn't want to record it with a round face during the filming of the show.
Placing the plate in his hand on the table, and then raising his arm to untie the flowery apron on his body and put it aside, Mu Qing looked at Tao Xiaowan who was sitting opposite with a big smile.
"Sweet and sour fish, button meat, hot and sour shredded potatoes, green pepper eggs, and seaweed soup, how about it, do you have a good appetite?"
Mu Qing sat down at the dinner table with a happy face, waiting for Tao Xiaowan to praise him.
Tao Xiaowan pursed her lips, looked at the steaming food on the table, and then looked up at Mu Qing, who was sitting opposite, and said helplessly: "Your cooking skills are so good, you can make what you like to eat better every time." ”
No matter how you hear this, it smells a little weird.
"Don't you like to eat this too......" Mu Qing touched his nose with some weakness.
"Then you don't have to do so much at once! if you can't finish eating, you'll have an excuse to settle dinner in the evening. Tao Xiaowan glanced at Mu Qing very seriously, "Do you say that you are interesting to me, otherwise why do you always find an excuse to shrink here with me, and it is uncomfortable to stay in your own house?" ”
Tao Xiaowan felt that she felt a little bitter on her side.
She used to stay at home alone before, but now there is always a big man like Mu Qing in the family, and she has to take care of each other in everything, which makes Tao Xiaowan feel uncomfortable.
Let's not mention any comfortable or uncomfortable issues for the time being, the worse thing now is that just because Mu Qing, a big man, has been carrying all kinds of things in and out of her house these days, several neighbors in the neighborhood are talking back and forth about the single girl who lives over there, and even more so that she is living with her boyfriend?!
Her innocence has vanished through the gossip......
But no matter what Mu Qing said, he still rushed over at the time of the meal, and then dragged it for so many hours, not knowing what the hell he was thinking.
Tao Xiaowan firmly believes that Mu Qing, this guy, is decisive, there is something to hide from her!
And Mu Qing, who was already holding the bowl and holding chopsticks on the other side, was immediately unhappy when he heard Tao Xiaowan's words, and Haoran's righteousness exploded instantly.
"Tao Xiaowan, how can you be so filthy as a woman? You said that I have worked hard to buy you vegetables and make delicious food, and you actually slander me so much? Besides, can my aesthetics be so low that I fall in love with you?"
"Mu Qing, you ......" Tao Xiaowan's face changed suddenly.
"Eh, stop, it's time to eat, don't explode foul language. Mu Qing interrupted directly.
“...... After dinner, let's talk about it again, if you don't tell me why I came, you have a good look. ”
She didn't understand, although she Tao Xiaowan was not the kind of big beauty that made people amazing at a glance, but this little jasper still had it! Why did she seem to have become ugly in Mu Qing's mouth?
is also aesthetically low, Tao Xiaowan looks at him as a stomach sagging.
"I can't hold you up. Tao Xiaowan muttered secretly.
And Mu Qing on the other side had already decisively started to take a big bite of rice, completely ignoring Tao Xiaowan's eyes Ling Chi.
If it weren't for the fact that she was a little girl alone in such a big city, no one asked if she was injured, it was pitiful, and he really didn't want to come!
Also, isn't it because he doesn't want to waste his time on the way back and forth?
Alas, these days, it's really hard to be a good person...... Thinking about it, Mu Qing picked up the chopsticks and stuffed himself with the buckle meat again.
Mouthful.
