What they share
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Return, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Suspect X is
Riverside park. Early spring. A lighter glinting on something discarded. A body appears, unidentifiable. Circumstances point to the victim's ex-wife, though her alibi is perfect. Only a persistent detective and a strange, quiet neighbor stand in the way. Higashino adaptation that lets the plot mechanics turn the screw.
