The opening scene is only half an hour, the huge amount of information rushes to the face, the movie hardly gives the audience much breathing space, one by one trivial clues are thrown out, the small events that seem to have no connection, seem a little scattered, but Nicholas has a vague feeling that it seems that all these events can be connected - only one important key point is needed. This sense of suspense, as Hugo said, is not as entertaining and attractive as the "Seven Deadly Sins", but it is more thick, showing Los Angeles in the fifties little by little, real and profound.

Nicholas thinks that if the "Seven Deadly Sins" is to see the big from the small, with a serial murderer to unravel the face of the whole society; Then "L.A. Secrets" is the appearance of all beings, and the whole society is delicately and accurately outlined in a fast and sharp white sketch technique. This movie is definitely worth savoring!

But now Nicholas doesn't have much time to calm down and think, because there are too many clues and too fast, and he can only follow the camera and continue to advance, immersing all his thoughts in the movie.

Ed, who was ostracized by the entire police department, stuck alone in the criminal bureau, and in the early hours of the morning, he received a report of a homicide, which was only his first day in office, and he received a major case, as long as it was handled well, he could become famous, which made Ed look anxious and excited, and rushed to the scene as soon as possible.

There was a bloody shooting at the Night Owl Coffee Shop, there was a deceased person at the counter, and there was chaos in the coffee shop, while five dead people appeared in the bathroom, which was a big case. What's more, among the dead is Stans, who was ordered to retire today.

Dudley arrives on the scene to try to take over the situation, but Ed is reluctant to let go, insisting that it was a call he received and that he had to handle the situation. Dudley, in desperation, made Ed his deputy. So the reporter took photos of Dudley and Ed at the same time. Because Ed is shorter than Dudley, he raised his chin high, took off his glasses, and made a professional gesture without smiling, this simple small gesture made Nicholas can't help but laugh, this is Hugo's ability to perform.

Bud rushed to the morgue and saw Stance, unable to contain his grief, and Ed, who was in charge of the case, seemed a little gloating, but he still told Bud what he knew. Later, Bud discovers that one of the six dead is a woman he met on Christmas Eve - a woman with gauze on her nose in a car, but by this time Susan has undergone plastic surgery, even her mother does not recognize her, and she is dressed like a female star Litai Haywa.

Dudley, meanwhile, believes there was a breakthrough in the case, when three black teenagers were seen by witnesses near the Night Owl Coffee House at the same time, and Stance, a regular here, was only in the wrong place at the wrong time.

After learning that Dudley and Ed were in charge of the case, Bard did not tell Ed the details he knew, and he decided to go it alone. So he went to the store where he bought alcohol, asked the owner for the address, and found Pierce without incident. Pierre admits that he responds. Summon. The girl business specializes in a lineup of girls who look like stars, and let them imitate Hollywood movie stars to attract celebrities. Lynn is Veronica Lake, and Susan is Litai Hywal.

Bard then went to Lynn's home to find out what was going on, where he met the Councillor, who was sympathetic to Lynn's situation but didn't learn anything substantial. Bard is irrepressibly attracted to Lynn, and Lynn responds, but Bard keeps trying to suppress this mixed emotion, and finally has to run away.

On the other hand, the police department got the list of suspects, and everyone started an investigation, Jack said that his connections could search for some information, but no one was willing to follow up on Jack's clues, because Jack got into trouble last time. However, Ed, who is eager to solve the case, chooses to partner with Jack.

Surprisingly, Ed and Jack have a tacit understanding, and the two quickly lock up three black men, and when they find their residence, they find that two colleagues have already arrived at the scene, and they find the murder weapon and cash in the garage car, so a group of four people break into the house, and when trying to arrest the suspect, one of the police officers. The officer shot directly, but fortunately, Ed found out in time to avoid killing the suspects, and finally succeeded in bringing all four suspects back to the police station.

Ed, Budd, and Jack gather together, and Dudley gets the report that determines that the murder weapon found in the car by the two fellow police officers matches the bullet found at the Night Owl Cafe. This also shows that they are the murderers, and all they need now is their frank confession.

Ed was in the battle himself, and he knew it was an opportunity, not only to prove himself to his peers, but also to show his superiors what he was capable of. Ed's abilities are outstanding, and he quickly gets a confession through his skillful questioning skills, and they confess to drug trafficking. but they don't admit to killing at all.

While pressuring one of the suspects, Louis, Ed finds a loophole in the collapsed Louis confession, and then discovers the truth, the group of blacks in order to get Louis out of place. As a man, he captures a girl and ties her to her home in an attempt to get Louis Overlord to take a bow, but the girl resists violently, beating her violently and fleeing - but when Ed tries to ask if they have kidnapped her from the Night Owl Cafe, Bud impulsively interrupts the inquiry.

Bard, who couldn't stand the man beating the woman, frantically rushed into the interrogation room, completely out of control, and almost killed the suspect. At the last minute, Bud asks where the girl was kidnapped, and he rushes into the house alone before all his colleagues, killing the caretaker who has no intention of resisting, faking the scene to make people think that he is fighting back when the other party is actively shooting, and finally succeeds in dealing with the girl.

Bud firmly believes that his actions are righteous, but Ed thinks that Bud has ruined the last clue, and in a fit of rage, he and Bud have a confrontation, and if it weren't for the other colleagues' obstruction, Bud would almost beat Ed up severely.

The suspect managed to escape from prison in the police detention center, and the rescued girl was still unconscious and unable to speak. Ed guessed from the suspect's confession that they were going to poison. He wants Jack to come with him at the safe house of the deal, but Jack is not there, so two of his colleagues who were at the suspect's house go with Ed.

They entered the safe house and found all the suspects, but when everyone had already surrendered, their colleagues shot and killed Louis, and then the scene fell into a shootout, and the colleagues were shot and killed on the spot, and Ed, who was alone, was very brave and killed all the suspects on the spot.

Looking at Ed with blood on his face, Nicholas burst out laughing, in such a fast, so tense, and so tight plot, Ed's sense of presence was too strong, and he forgot to wear his glasses when he caught the suspect, with a frightened expression on his face; For a while, after the shooting, his face was stunned and he didn't know what to do; For a while, he pretended to be profound, posing as a zombie face; For a while, after the killing, his eyes were blank, like a frightened fawn...... Ed, who was supposed to be very annoying, unconsciously softened, and more importantly, Nicholas felt that the character was incomparably real, even Kevin Spacey did not achieve - giving the character a new lease of life in a limited space and time.

In the case of no major twists in the story, Nicholas finds that Ed, played by Hugo, has changed his bad first impression little by little - of course, Ed is still the sinister guy who will do anything to get promoted. But Nicholas found that when he saw Ed's dazed expression, the curvature of the corners of his mouth was gently outlined, and Nicholas turned his head to look at the other viewers around him, and found that everyone's expressions were so similar.

Ed successfully solves the night owl case, and the police award him the Warrior Medal. It seems that everything is back on track, Ed is promoted, Jack is back in the "Police Network Heroes" crew, and Bud has become Dudley's most effective assistant, gradually bulldozing the **** forces in Los Angeles. But Nicholas always felt that he had missed some clues, and the case had been solved, but he did not have that sense of stability, on the contrary, in the melodious jazz music, there seemed to be a greater conflict brewing.

Nicholas touched his lips a little anxiously, because he found that "L.A. Confidential" is definitely a movie worth watching three or four times, every clue, every detail, every character, is worth savoring. He regretted it a little now—he didn't seem to have looked closely enough, even though he was already engrossed. This long-lost tension made Nicholas a little excited, and he looked forward to the follow-up development of the film with great interest.

Exhausted by the violent work of the day and night, Bard finds Lynn again, two fragile souls hugging each other and leaning on each other. The two even started dating like a normal couple, watching movies together, eating dinner together, chatting together, and this happy time made both of them happy.

Lynn truly opens up to Bard, she has always wanted to return to her hometown and live a quiet and ordinary life, and her lonely soul has always longed for stability.

And Bud also mentions terrible memories of his childhood, his father constantly beating his mother, and finally directly beating his mother, while he was tied to a radiator and witnessed it all, so Bud hated the man who beat the woman. Lately, Bud has also been bored with his job because he doesn't feel like a police officer. Cha, just bullying, he hopes to be able to join the murder team and become a real detective, he knows that Ed killed the wrong person, the murderer who really killed Stance is still at large, he knows that there is something strange about the night owl coffee house, but he can't figure out the key.

Lynn comforted Bard with a warm embrace, and the two broken souls clung to each other.

The rare moment of warmth in the movie made many viewers smile, but this smile only lasted for a short time, because the iceberg of conspiracy was gradually revealing its true face.
