In 2004, a small town in the northwest was full of wind and sand.

There was a loud bang in the boiler, and a charred corpse fell out.

The deceased: Cheng Chun, a small-town pimp, lived coquettishly and died strangely.

That night, there were people in the boiler room: stationmaster Ding Baoyuan, coal miner Liu Sancheng, and an apprentice Wang Liang who had not graduated.

The case was almost over, Ding Baoyuan insisted that he did it, and entered the bureau by himself, closed the case, sealed the file, and returned dust to dust, and dust to dust.

But ten years later, Ding Baoyuan suddenly cried out in prison, saying that he had been guilty of the crime.

A letter of reversal of the case lifted the fog of this town that had been dusty for ten years, and also brought this revenge plan of "everyone hates" back to the stage.

Reversal and restart: dead people, living people, all have ghosts

In charge of the review was the local policeman Chen Jianghe and the female policeman Luo Yingwei, who was transferred from outside.

As soon as I started, I noticed that something was wrong-

Ding Baoyuan's wife, Sun Caiyun, on the surface, is a good wife who visits the prison every month, but in fact, she is messing with the "outdated writer" Guan Qiao outside, eating soft rice crookedly, and trying to share Ding Baoyuan's property.

Is that the one who designed her husband to take the blame back then, so that she could take over the boiler station and monopolize the assets?

But when it was dark in the middle of the investigation, another charred corpse fell from the boiler: Liu Sancheng, deceased.

Ten years ago, Ding Baoyuan was imprisoned, Liu Sancheng died, and as soon as the exclusion law left, the suspicion firmly pointed to the third person: Wang Liang.

But the story isn't over yet—

A new character debuts: Liu Sancheng's son Liu Dazhi, who ran away in the early years, suddenly returned to the village to mourn.

But this big brother is stammering, lying, and so clean that he has to install his own camera even when he lives in a hotel, and the most terrible thing is:

He and the deceased Cheng Chun had an unclear relationship history in their early years...

The boilers in the town are not only coal-burning, but also "burning".

One by one, the secrets were revealed, and one after another the gray side of human nature was turned out.

Group portrait of characters: What is more fascinating than the case is the human heart

The most fascinating thing about this drama is never who killed whom, but who lived like this.

Let's set up the characters one by one, and you will find that everyone is crazy, but the madness is very real.

Ding Baoyuan, in prison, he was called "environmental protection" (because of cuckolding), but behind his back, he read the novel "Sandstorm" by the male junior every day, gritted his teeth and memorized the paragraphs, holding back the "knife that dog man and woman" after being released from prison.

Writer Guan Qiao, magic novels can't write a magical life, they can only live by women, and PUA Sun Caiyun:"Literature is the salvation of our spirit."

Sun Caiyun, the most sober woman in the whole play. Love money, love face, love culture, but don't love anyone. She is not a brainwashed woman, she is a person who uses brainwashing others.

Chen Jianghe, this Xinjiang-flavored policeman, has naan and sheep soup in his mouth, but his eyes hide the compassion that understands the fate of the town best. He is not a detective, he is a "man of common destiny".

Liu Dazhi, afraid of ghosts, afraid of dirty, afraid of women, but surrounded by ghosts, dirt and women.

Liu Yingying, her father asked her to marry Wang Liang to "gag", and her sentence could be reduced if she was pregnant with a child; She resisted, but she was constantly domesticated: "Don't sacrifice in vain, continue to sacrifice." ”

Do these people, you ask, have "love"? No. Is there "trust"? does not exist.

There's only one thing that's growing like crazy:Hate, and the calculation of hate.

Under the case: every corpse is in the shape of hate

This drama does not rely on case-solving technology, but on the map of human nature.

You'll see:

In order for my brother not to go to jail,My sister used herself as a meat ticket。

In order to keep the secret,Father teaches daughter to kill, because "if you kill, it is called husband and wife love; If I kill, the whole family will be finished".

Wang Liang was originally just a hard-working apprentice, but found out that he was an "abandoned son predestined by his father-in-law".

In this bureau, everyone in the bureau uses family affection, humanity, and responsibility as weapons-Killing is not an impulse, but the optimal solution of repeated trade-offs.

Liu Yingying and Wang Liang, two people who were originally chess pieces, finally put together a new "confrontation script".

Not to save someone, but to make that personShut up forever。

Key words:Lack

The key word of the whole drama is by no means "suspense", but two words:Lack。

The frontier of lack of law.

Families who lack affection.

A resource-starved town.

A world devoid of humanity.

Everyone is struggling to the fullest of their ability to live like an individual.

Some people lack money, some people lack love, and some people lack hearts.

So, they used corpses to seek justice, exchanged their stomachs for power, and traded marriages.

And when "living" becomes a transaction, you will find that-

It's not a crime drama, it isA survival guide for the underprivileged。

Its specialness: it is not the three views of the truth, but the three views of the truth

The good thing about this drama is not that it "teaches you to be a man", but that it tells you:

"Being a human being is not that easy."

It doesn't create heroes, it doesn't save the world, it doesn't shout slogans, it lets you see:

children trapped in the "black hole of affection";

a woman who was traded for fate with marriage;

Goodwill bound by the "fig leaf of power".

It makes you angry: "How can you live like this? ”

On the other hand, it makes you feel weak: "But isn't this the way we live?" ”

Conclusion: This drama deserves to be seen at the end, because it is about-

A boiler in a small town burns more than just coal,

And lust, hatred, fate,

andWhat kind of humility can people become, and how ruthless they can be?

This is not a "who did it" drama,

It's a "who isn't crazy" drama.

If you likeDrive the case with humanity、Depicting the real with absurdity、Wrap the blade with laughterof the episodes,

"Sandstorm" is the boiler you should turn on.

Rest assured to chase, episode 12 has ended, it's really not collapsed-

It collapsed, only the bottom line of people's hearts.
