Detective Marugoshi
1993, Japanese. Directed by Shūji Kataoka.
One day, the brutally murdered body of his colleague, Detective Utsumi, was discovered. Maruyoshi immediately visits Xu Fang, the Taiwanese hostess Utsumi had been seeing, but finds himself in the crosshairs of a mysterious gun… A few days later, Utsumi’s police ID was found at a murder scene. Xu Fang had manipulated Utsumi into plotting to steal a large quantity of methamphetamine from the Jaō-kai. Furthermore, there is Zhang, a serial killer who pulls the strings behind the scenes, manipulating Xu Fang whilst being pursued by the mafia in his home country. Betrayal begets further betrayal, and as the search for the missing methamphetamine unfolds, a complex web of conflicting interests and power struggles unfolds.
