Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 920 "Road Signs"

In 1992, Los Angeles broke out in the worst riot in the 20th century. The entire incident resulted in the destruction of more than 5,000 buildings. The building opposite the apartment where Angela Warren and her maternal grandparents lived was the place where the riots subsided. The repaired one can be seen from the open window of Angela's bedroom.

At first glance, this is a very ordinary adolescent girl’s room. There are star posters on the wall, and there are a lot of cheap cosmetics. The textbooks and comics are stacked on the shelf by her. In addition, there is a trophy and collective on it. Group photo, Angela wearing a cheerleader uniform, standing with the football players of the "Dolphins".

  She painted 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 plenty of opportunities in Hollywood. If it doesn’t work, you can still go to work at Disney. Next to the group photo, look back at the picture of her wearing a Disney princess suit.

  She squandered her youth like all young girls. It is difficult to associate her with the suicide.

  In fact, she would not die if she jumped from the third floor. If the car did not pass by, she would be seriously injured at best. This was an unfortunate accident. The driver did not expect that someone would fall from the sky.

   "Grandma said she put a sculpture of Saint Anne in Angela's room, but Angela smashed it." O'Sullivan said, "Then she painted these in the bedroom."

  Mills and O’Sullivan looked up together, and there were many five-pointed stars painted on the ceiling, which looked like a starry night sky.

  "A five-pointed star does not represent the devil." Mills said, "If it is, it will be everywhere on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."

   "What's wrong with you." O'Sullivan said, "It's really not like what you can say."

   "What are you talking about?"

   "You sound like a university professor, are you still the person I know?"

  Mills didn't bother to pay attention to O'Sullivan, he began to wander around Angela's room, the evidence team was bagging the things at the scene.

This is a suicide case. You don’t need to be as cautious as a murder case. Everyday people commit suicide for various reasons. Moreover, the direct cause of Angela’s death is not jumping from a building, but a car accident. It’s just that a hypnotist and her were involved Stay alone in the room.

  Hypnosis can often be seen in variety shows and movies. Hypnotists usually use a pocket watch or a crystal ball to make people sane, and then the hypnotized person will do something unimaginable.

   "What smell is this?" Mills asked, sniffing his nose, "Are there dead mice in this house?"

   "You can find it." O'Sullivan said perfunctorily, "This is an old apartment building."

   "Where is 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 star fans for a little money."

   "What did she use all this money for?"

  "When making a movie, she and her friends sneaked into an abandoned church during spring break, planning to make a horror movie. Then she had an accident. Don't just say what I know, what do you know."

   "Like that guy, I also collected evidence to prove whether she really needs an exorcism." Mills threw another nicotine gum into his mouth. "Usually it's not that fast."

   "So fast what?"

   "Death." Mills said, "Remember the'Seven Deadly Sins Killer'? He cut off the skin of his fingers. This is a self-harm. Has Angela ever harmed herself?"

   "No." O'Sullivan said anxiously.

   "Maybe there are angels in this city." Mills said calmly, "Let her go to a better place before she suffers a real sin."

  O'Sullivan did not answer the conversation, his eyes looked even stranger at Mills.

  Mills continued to look around Angela's room at random. He looked strangely normal, making it difficult to connect him with the detective who fired all the bullets at the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The media will always give priority to reporting news that has high impact and eyeballs. Compared with the riots in Los Angeles, the influence of serial killers in New York has been compared. When reporters remembered such a thing, new news It appeared again, and the big case that could have been as famous as Zodiac disappeared without a trace.

Not all police officers think Mills is guilty. Many police officers deal with drug dealers. It is one thing to exchange fire on the street. It is another matter for drug dealers to retaliate against the police’s family. The "seven deadly killers" killed Mills’ wife. This crossed the bottom line, not to mention his mental state, it is very likely to be acquitted.

  Doctor said that he suffers from obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. The characteristic of obsessive-compulsive personality is excessive pursuit of perfection. In order to make up the "seven" sinners, the seven deadly killers counted himself and Mills.

  He lost his fingerprints, unable to determine his identity from the fingerprint database, and there is no record of his teeth. Maybe he has never seen a dentist, or he is from a dentist's family and knows how to delete his records.

  In a doctor’s family, it is easy to have a compulsive personality, because parents love to be clean, and if they are too strict and demanding on their children, it is more likely to have problems.

  There is a death penalty in New York State, but it does not include mental patients. The "Seven Deadly Sins Killer" is crazy, but not the kind of schizophrenia or multiple personalities, and he killed people on the margins of society, except for a lie attorney and the wife of a policeman.

  St. Elizabeth’s Psychiatric Hospital was once called the Assassin’s Home, because it accommodated three mental patients who assassinated the President. At the time, there were 8,000 patients at most, but it is now abandoned.

  The "Seven Deadly Killers" have a high chance of being imprisoned in the psychiatric crime hospital set up by the FBI in Baltimore, and become the research material of psychologists.

  It’s hard to calmly deal with things like those who are on Mills.

What caused the Los Angeles riots was a choppy video. The television station choked off the suspects driving under the influence, 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 was involved in the big riot, not only was not charged with illegal drinking, drunk driving, speeding and other crimes, but also received 3.8 million US dollars in compensation.

  After thirteen years have passed, Mills seems to have come out of the shadows of the year, and as soon as he appeared, he handled such a complicated and strange case.

O'Sullivan didn’t know much about Freud. He only knew that hypnosis was related to the subconscious. Repression led to the subconscious, and repression also led to neurosis. As a "strip", he didn’t know whether Mills really came out or not. Suppress yourself and make yourself seem normal.

   "People are crazy now." O'Sullivan said to himself.

  His only prayer is not to let the media discover this case, otherwise it may be overstated and cause unnecessary panic and commotion.

   "Inspector." said a member of the evidence group lying under the bed.

   "What's the matter?" O'Sullivan walked over.

  "Look at it." The group member showed him the digital photos he took.

  Carved a line of words on the wooden floor with a knife:

  Nature is the lover of the master, and those who think that they are in charge of everything rather than nature will only be in vain.

   "Leonardo Da Vinci." Mills suddenly found out.

  O'Sullivan looked at him, his eyes staring like doves.

   "It's not me." Mills held a book in her hand. "She seems to like Leonardo."

  The book in Mills' hand is the biography of Leonardo, and Angela drew the key points with colorful markers on it.

   "Maybe she is not going to make a horror film, but a documentary. She has read a lot of books about time-lapse photography." Mills said, "She went to the church to record how nature reoccupied the human city."

  O'Sullivan opened his mouth wide, unable to make a sound.

   "Go back to the police station and see that hapless guy." Mills patted the old partner on the shoulder, and then left the unfortunate room.
