Chapter 920
In 1992, the worst riots in Los Angeles broke out in the 20th century. The whole incident resulted in the destruction of more than 5,000 buildings. Repaired, visible from the open window in Angela's bedroom.
At first glance, this is a very ordinary adolescent girl's room. There are posters of celebrities on the wall, and there are many cheap cosmetics. She piles up textbooks and comic books on the bookshelf. For a photo, Angela stood with the "Dolphins" football players in her cheerleading uniform.
She wears the same makeup as young girls nowadays, smiling and cheerful.
Los Angeles is close to Hollywood. Even if the grades are not good, there are a lot of opportunities in Hollywood. If it is really not good, you can go to work in Disney, and look back at the photo of her wearing a Disney princess suit next to the group photo.
She spent her youth like all young girls, and it is difficult to associate her with suicide.
In fact, jumping from the third floor would not kill her. If the car hadn't passed by, she would have been seriously injured at most. This was an unfortunate accident, and the driver of the car did not expect that someone would fall from the sky.
"Grandmother said she had a statue of St Anne in Angela's room, but Angela smashed it," O'Sullivan said. "And then she drew these in the bedroom."
Mills and O'Sullivan looked up together, and many pentagrams were painted on the ceiling, which looked like a starry night sky.
"The five-pointed star doesn't represent the devil," Mills said. "If it were, the Hollywood Walk of Fame would be all over it."
"What's wrong with you." O'Sullivan said, "That's really not what you would say."
"What words?"
"You sound like a college professor, are you still the same guy I know?"
Mills didn't bother to pay attention to O'Sullivan, he continued to wander around Angela's room, and the physical evidence team was bagging the things at the scene.
This is a suicide case, and there is no need to be as cautious as a homicide case. People commit suicide for various reasons every day, not to mention that the direct cause of Angela's death was not jumping off a building, but a car accident, but before she jumped off a building, a hypnotist and her Stay alone in your room.
Hypnosis can often be seen in variety shows and movies. The hypnotist usually uses a pocket watch or a crystal ball to trance people, and then the hypnotized person will do some things that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
"What's that smell?" Mills asked, sniffling. "Are there any dead rats in the house?"
"You can look for it." O'Sullivan said perfunctorily, "This is an old apartment building."
"Where's her mother?"
"In Beverly Hills."
"What?"
"She works as a maid for Hollywood stars." O'Sullivan said, "Sometimes Angela will use her to sell the star's autographs to groupies to earn a little money."
"What did she use the money for?"
"Film, she snuck into an abandoned church with her friends during spring break to make a horror movie, and then she had an accident, don't just say I know, you know what."
"Like that guy, I'm looking for evidence to see if she really needs an exorcism." Mills popped another nicotine gum into his mouth. "It's usually not that fast."
"So soon what?"
"Death." Mills said, "Remember the 'Seven Deadly Sins Killer'? He cut off the skin of his fingers. This is an act of self-harm. Has Angela ever harmed herself?"
"No." O'Sullivan said anxiously.
"Maybe there really are angels in this city," Mills said calmly, "and put her in a better place before she really suffers."
O'Sullivan didn't answer, and he looked at Mills even more weirdly.
Mills continues to rummage through Angela's room, looking so oddly normal that it's hard to connect him with the detective who fired all the bullets at the Seven Killer.
The media will always give priority to reporting news that has a large impact and attracts people's attention. Compared with the riots in Los Angeles, the impact of the serial killers in New York has been compared. When the reporters think about such a thing, the new news Appeared again, so the big case that could have been as famous as Zodiac just disappeared without a trace.
Not all police officers think Mills is guilty. Many police officers have dealt with drug dealers. It is one thing to exchange fire on the street, but it is another thing for drug dealers to retaliate against the police's family. The "Seven Deadly Sins Killer" killed Mills' wife, This crossed the bottom line, not to mention his mental state, it is very likely that he will be found not guilty.
The doctor said that he suffered from obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, which is characterized by excessive pursuit of perfection. In order to make up the "seven" sinners, the Seven Deadly Sins Killer included himself and Mills.
He lost his fingerprints, can't identify him from the fingerprint database, and has no records of his teeth, maybe he's never been to a dentist, or he just comes from a family of dentists and knows how to delete his records.
Obsessive-compulsive personality tends to appear in doctors' families, because parents love to be clean. If they discipline their children too harshly and harshly, problems are more likely to occur.
New York State has the death penalty, but it does not include mental patients. The "Seven Deadly Sins Killer" is crazy, but he is not the kind of schizophrenia or multiple personalities, and he kills people on the fringes of society, except for a lying lawyer and a policeman's wife.
St. Elizabeth Mental Hospital used to be called the House of Assassins, because it housed three mental patients who assassinated the president. At one time, there were 8,000 patients, but now it is deserted.
The "Seven Deadly Sins Killer" has a high probability of being held in the FBI's psychiatric crime hospital in Baltimore, and has become the research material of psychologists.
It's hard to calm down whoever gets involved in something like Mills.
What caused the riots in Los Angeles was a clipped video. The TV station cut out the scenes of the suspect driving under the influence of alcohol, driving at high speed, resisting arrest, and the police using high-voltage electric batons to knock him down and then stand up to fight back. Rodney King, who took part in the riot, was not prosecuted for illegal drinking, drunk driving, and speeding, but he also received $3.8 million in compensation.
Thirteen years later, Mills seemed to have stepped out of the shadows of the past, and he dealt with such complicated and weird cases as soon as he appeared.
O'Sullivan doesn't know much about Freud, he only knows that hypnosis is related to the subconscious, that repression leads to subconsciousness, and repression also leads to neurosis. Suppress yourself and make yourself seem normal.
"People are crazy now." O'Sullivan said to himself.
His only prayer is that the media doesn't find out about the case, or it might be overblown and cause unnecessary panic and commotion.
"Detective." A member of the evidence team lying under the bed said.
"What's the matter?" O'Sullivan walked over.
"Look." The team members showed him the digital photos they had taken.
A line of words was carved on the wooden floor with a knife:
Nature is the lover of the master, and he who thinks he is the ruler of all things other than nature, is in vain.
"Leonardo da Vinci." Mills said suddenly.
O'Sullivan looked at him, his eyes staring like doves.
"Not me." Mills took a book in her hand. "She seems to like Da Vinci."
The book in Mills' hands is the life of Leonardo da Vinci, which Angela highlighted with colorful markers.
"Maybe she's not going to make a horror film, but a documentary, and she's read a lot about time-lapse photography," Mills said. "She's going to church to document how nature reoccupied human cities."
O'Sullivan opened his mouth wide, unable to make a sound.
"Go back to the police station and see that hapless guy." Mills patted his old partner on the shoulder, and then left the unfortunate room.
