Should I say it or not, the 2023 domestic TV series can be said to be full of flowers.
No, at the end of the year, Gu Ouxian Oudi broke his head, a criminal investigation drama that frantically tests the edge of "standards", and quietly became a hot search.
[1]
As we all know, the criminal investigation dramas in recent years have only adapted the crime process through the gimmick of "scale". "Inside the Murder" is not only adapted from real people, but also integrates various elements such as criminal investigation, suspense, and anti-crime.
For example, there is a female corpse at the beginning. Not to mention breaking the scale ceiling, if I read it in the middle of the night, I almost open the bushi.
This drama is very kind. IQIYI released all 26 episodes on the first day of the broadcast, which is not enough to whet your appetite. Originally, I just wanted to watch two episodes before going to sleep. However, I didn’t stop until I finished 5 episodes and the first case was concluded.
The victim in the first case was a 60-year-old aunt, who was raped, killed and dumped in the wild. The cruel methods will not be detailed here.
As the investigation deepened, the police found many doubts. The evidence on the scene pointed to a non-existent person. At the same time, the victim's daughter-in-law was hesitant, the grandson was violent, and the son disappeared mysteriously.
Before stopping here, another person died over there, a kindergarten teacher.
There is a connection between the two deceased people. The grandson of the deceased’s aunt was the teacher of the deceased’s kindergarten teacher.
Soon, a woman named Luo Yutong connected the key points of two suspicious cases.
During the police investigation, she denied knowing the two deceased people. When the police visited her home to investigate, she had a quarrel with her father, Luo Hai.
Later, the police were shocked to discover that Luo Hai's youngest daughter Xiaoman had a conflict with the deceased woman's grandson in kindergarten, and the deceased's kindergarten teacher mediated between them.
I won’t go into details about the process of peeling off the cocoon. After an operation, the police "fished" in ambush and caught the murderer Luo Hai.
After several rounds of psychological games, another twist came: Luo Hai was just an accomplice, and the real boss was the seemingly thin girl Luo Yutong. The little girl Xiaoman mentioned earlier is not the daughter of Luo Hai, but the daughter of Luo Yutong.
The two murder cases originated from the "old events" of the Luo family. Back then, Luo Yutong was raped and gave birth to a daughter, but Luo Hai cowardly asked his daughter to forgive him. The situation of being bullied has now fallen on my granddaughter, and she is still forgiven.
Luo Yutong recalled the painful memories of that year and ran to kill the woman who was protecting the calf and the partial kindergarten teacher.
This time Luo Hai finally stopped being a "coward". After discovering that his daughter had committed a murder, he helped her dispose of the body and even hid the corpse in order to hide it from others.
The first unit is just five episodes long, but they are closely linked and filmed delicately. Call that father a coward, but his fatherly love is silent and never stops. In the subsequent plots of
, the model of a case within a case is still adopted. The plot has ups and downs, and additions are made on the basis of connecting various cases in series.
Every clue may be a foreshadowing of the subsequent plot. Multiple cases are merged and staggered into one main line - the Xia City serial murder case.
There are no romantic dramas that ruin the scenery, and there are no irrelevant storylines. It is pure reasoning and pure logical analysis. It sent chills down people's spines, and they couldn't stop at all. So it’s no wonder that this drama quickly topped iQiyi’s soaring list after it was aired.
At present, the popularity of "The Murder Depth" continues to rise. As of December 12, the popularity of iQiyi exceeded 7,000. It deserves to be the finale of 2023.

html The finale of the year-end drama of 0, can it be sustained by just the brain-burning plot?Moreover, compared to the previous popular criminal investigation dramas, this drama is almost a group of fledgling young actors and cannot bring its own traffic. Stories that dare to speak for the public will naturally resonate and touch the soul.
"Inside the Murder" dares to touch on sensitive topics in society. By showing the dark side, it allows everyone to see all aspects of themselves and society.This bold performance of
is different from the industrial saccharine electronic mustard. It at least inspires everyone's deep thinking about social ethics, justice and evil.
Based on what happened in the previous five episodes, Luo Yutong is a murderer who is responsible for two lives, but she is also a vulnerable group in society and is an out-and-out pitiable person.
When she was in adolescence, she was sexually assaulted. Although she was not wealthy, her warm and stable life was torn apart in an instant. At the same time, her father, like most silent people, was afraid of trouble and asked her to calm down.
Do we often hear the following sentence around us?
Double physical and psychological blows made Luo Yutong lose his pursuit of a better life, sowing the seeds of tit-for-tat hatred, which grew into a little white flower like a snake and a scorpion.
"Do good children deserve to be bullied?" speaks to the voices of many people who have been bullied in adolescence.
The most magical thing is that Luo Yutong has hated her for so many years, but she didn't know that her father was taking the blame for her behind her back. It's not an ordinary trick of God's will, it's heartbreaking to see.
In addition, every character in the story shows a deep sense of depth, and the actors, although young, perform well.
Let’s take Luo Yutong’s actor Qu He as an example. Compared to two male protagonists who have some acting experience, Qu He is simply a blank slate, and there is not much information available on the Internet.
Nitrogen, look at this look.
Netizen comments: She told a story with one look.
When she appeared on the stage, her eyes were gloomy, and when she cried, it made people feel like it was raining.
She looks innocent, but her eyes reflect the tight, controlled, and unable-to-struggle life background in which she lives.
She has multiple complex identities: daughter, mother, victim, and perpetrator.
In the first half of the first unit, she performed resentment, unwillingness, pain, and the pleasure of revenge.
In the second half of the first unit, while sitting on the interrogation chair, she acted out the brokenness of a victim and the viciousness of a perpetrator with her stubborn eyes and tears in her eyes. This is the sense of hierarchy.

Because of this role, Qu He attracted the attention of drama fans.
Let's check it out. This newcomer has only 80,000 Weibo fans. He has some information, but not many.
The company she signed with is Mengyang Culture, and she can be regarded as the junior sister of Jiang Shuying and Penicillin. He has a cold appearance, which makes him very suitable for acting in serious literary films. Guys, those who like Gui Lunmei are in luck.
When we were picking her up, we were thinking, why can a newcomer who has just debuted have such a delicate performance in the role of "The Murder"?
I later found out that she graduated from New York University with a major in psychology, and capturing human psychology and empathic characters is her area of expertise.
She had her own unique insights into the role of Luo Yutong, and she also prepared very hard, so much so that she was still immersed in it after the filming was completed.
Unfortunately, she did not appear much in "The Murder". After the first unit, she also went offline.
Fortunately, she also has a similar drama to be broadcast.
In the crime suspense drama "Undercover" starring Chen Jianbin, Chen Ruoxuan and Mei Ting, she plays Zhou Xiaonan, a young girl who is struggling to survive at the bottom. Even though the life in front of her is helpless and depressing, she is still strong and tolerant.
This drama also uses cases as a carrier, emphasizing the portrayal of life and social aspects.
Although Qu He’s role has been finalized, the entire drama is still being filmed intensively, and I believe it will be available online soon. Qu He, who has just debuted, has attracted a wave of fans with "The Murder Depth". Judging from the comments of fans in the comment area, this wave of investment is not a loss.
Follow her while she is still on Weibo, maybe there will be new surprises in the future.
