Chapter 1297: 1297 The Seven Deadly Sins

The movie opened in an atmosphere that was quiet to a little weird, peaceful to a little depressing. The continuous rainstorm filled the whole big screen composed of cyan, gray and black with gloom, restlessness and anxiety.

Samose is a criminal officer at the local police station and a homicide expert for thirty-two years. When his inspection career was finally coming to an end, what Samose felt was not reluctance, but relief after exhaustion, and he couldn't wait to enjoy his retirement.

In order to take over his job, the young and vigorous Mills was dispatched to this big city from a small place. Mills is full of energy and conceit. His experience in handling homicides in the past five years has made him ready and ready to work in this city. Do some business. But Mills' enthusiasm hit a wall in front of Samosa. Samosa not only didn't like Mills, but even treated him coldly. The arrogant Mills seemed to disapprove of Samosa.

In less than five minutes, the premise of the story has been explained. David Fincher only used a case where his wife could not tolerate domestic violence and shot her husband impulsive, and he introduced Samose and Mills into the story without a trace. , and used three or two dialogues to outline the personality prototypes of the two characters, which refreshed the audience in the cinema a lot.

Nicholas was sitting in the cinema, and the audience could hear the voices of the audience discussing in detail during the short time when the title cut. The failure of "Alien 3" made many people question David's directing ability, but today's opening chapter Obviously a little surprise.

It's just that when everyone else ignored the opening of the film, Nicholas paid attention to the opening because he found some unusual pictures. The title of "Seven Deadly Sins" is full of eerie horror. These scattered pictures seem to depict a person cutting off his own fingerprints, then using a diary to record his weird thoughts, and finally there are many photos and screenshots of murder. , This fragmented and broken picture makes the atmosphere of horror and suspense fill the cinema in an instant.

However, Nicholas always felt that something was wrong. There were only two hands on the screen, and there were no other details, but he always felt that these hands were familiar, but he couldn't tell why. Relatively speaking, he noticed another clear detail. In the cast list, David Fincher, Brad Pitt, and Morgan Freeman all appeared, but they did not appear. Hugo's name, this is really too strange.

However, the entire title took less than a minute, and most of the audience didn't notice this detail at all, and Nicholas could only temporarily bury this idea in his heart.

Once again, the movie cuts to the chase in a calm, sweet and happy morning of Mills and his wife, Trish, bringing a touch of warmth in the wind and rain outside the window, but then a call to the police station puts Mills in another world. inside.

The first homicide occurred on Monday, Mills' first in the city and his last before Samosey's retirement. In a filthy cockroach-infested apartment, an extremely fat man froze in a chair, his face buried in a bowl full of pasta in front of him.

After an autopsy, the forensic doctor confirmed that the man died because of overeating. The coroner confirmed that the deceased may have been forced to eat for up to 12 hours, until he fell into a coma, and then experienced torture and torture. , continue to eat, eventually leading to death.

Samose thinks that if the murderer wants to kill, he has more neat means, and the murderer deliberately chose this complicated and wordy way, obviously premeditated. Samose believes that the murderer will definitely not stop there. So Samosey asked to drop out of the case, he didn't want to get caught up in it before he retired in a week, because he knew it was going to be tricky, which Mills didn't understand at all.

Samose asked his superior to withdraw from the investigation of this case, but at the same time he did not think Mills was competent for this case, because for Mills who had just arrived in the city, this case was too complicated and too heavy. Mills Clearly inexperienced. This made Mills particularly rebellious, arguing that he hoped to prove his ability. But in the end, the boss asked Samosey to continue handling this case, while Mills went to handle other cases.

Monday's case of the obese man has yet to clear up any leads, with another on Tuesday. A lawyer was killed in his office, and Mills became the head of the case. Police colleagues learned that Mills was in charge of the case and expressed distrust of Mills.

The lawyer died in the firm's office, with the word "greed" written in blood on the floor.

The police boss was worried that Mills would not be able to take on the heavy responsibility of the case, because the death of the wealthy lawyer has attracted all the attention of the news media, so he hoped that Samose would take over. But Samose expressed his disappointment with this society. The city is full of violence, hatred and discrimination. Justice has been shrouded in a dense cloud. He no longer holds unrealistic dreams. He hopes to achieve Justice, but will not give everything for justice.

Samose returned to the scene of the first case, carefully checked every clue, and finally found a word behind the refrigerator, "gluttony", and a note that read "Long and hard road, get out of prison. See the light later." This is from John. Milton's "Paradise. Lost (Paradise. Lost)", which reminds Samose of the seven deadly sins of Christianity: gluttony, greed, laziness, anger, pride, and lust. Desire and jealousy.

Samosey believes that the first case is gluttony and the second case is greed, which is a serial killer case, and there will be five more homicides after that. Unfortunately, this view has not been taken seriously by the boss and Mills.

Samosey refuses to take the case, but Mills can't wait to get his hands dirty. After leaving the police station, Samose got into a taxi and heard the driver ask, "Where do you want to go?" Samose looked at the continuous rainstorm outside the window and said meaningfully, "Stay away from this ghost place."

At this moment, only twenty-five minutes have passed since the movie, but the tense and gloomy atmosphere in the air made people shudder. All disappeared, falling into a kind of unknowing silence and tension, even the audience themselves did not notice this abnormal change.

Nicholas could not help frowning slightly, he could vaguely feel that this was not a simple case, and the title of the movie also confirmed the seven deadly sins mentioned by Samose, but such a story is not in the Hollywood script. Common but not uncommon, what's so special about movies? Also, why did Hugo still not show up?

However, Nicholas can also feel that the camera lens and atmosphere of the movie are under the control of the director, revealing a coldness and weirdness invisibly, making all the noise in the movie theater quiet down, the kind that comes from the darkness The gloomy coolness exuded made the temperature in the heat of September become chilly, which made Nicholas gradually give up thinking, and the whole person entered the plot.

Although Samose refused to handle the case, he still went to the library to consult a lot of materials and wrote a list of books related to the seven deadly sins, hoping to help Mills' investigation. But the impatient Mills apparently thought the books were of no use at all.

Trish invited Samosa to dinner at home, Mills seemed unhappy, but Trish had a very pleasant chat with Samosa and learned about the happy life of the young couple, which also made Samosa and Mills’ relationship The relationship has eased, and the two talked about the details of Tuesday's lawyer's case after dinner. They found that the murderer was likely to preach atonement and force the deceased to repent, just like... a missionary.

Immediately, Samose and Mills came up with the key points from the clues left by the law firm. They left Trish at home alone. Fingerprints spelled out the words "help me", and it was found that the fingerprints did not come from the victim.

After a quiet Wednesday, police on Thursday identified the suspect from his fingerprints, a severely mentally ill and criminal suspect whose slain lawyer had successfully defended him in court. Obviously this is the suspect that best fits their guess, Mills thinks so, but Samosa always feels that there is something strange in it.

Nicholas adjusted his sitting position involuntarily, and his brain was also covered with a fog due to the progress of the story. Even he didn't realize it. Staring closely at the big screen.

police. When police officers arrived at the suspect's apartment in full force, they found a bound and nearly decomposed man on his bed, with the word "lazy" written on the wall above the head of the bed. Everyone thought this person was dead, and Mills and Samose began to search for evidence at the scene, but at this moment, the rotting corpse, which was almost skin and bones, suddenly coughed and struggled, as if cheating. , which makes all the cops in the whole house. Watch all messed up.

Hearing the coughing sound, Nicholas also grabbed his arm involuntarily, and almost jumped up. There was an exclamation from the cinema. After ten minutes of silence, the sound of rapid breathing was incessant. At this time, people realized that they seemed to have forgotten to breathe for so long in the past, and even the sound of heart beating quietly disappeared in the flow of blood, until At this time, the trembling after the sudden fright awakened the stiffness and fear in the entire cinema.

The thunderous drum beat heavily on Nicholas' eardrums, and he couldn't help breathing heavily. The suffocating sense of urgency had unknowingly plunged him into endless panic!
