Chapter 470: Harley Doesn’t Believe in Ghosts (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote for the Monthly Ticket) Please Give Me Double the Amount at the End of the Month!

Barry's awakening was such a big thing, of course Kai had to...refuse. →

Nonsense, he and Barry didn't know each other at all, and he helped him just to repay Joe for the West District Crime Unit. He didn't even know Joe and Iris very well. Others were enjoying themselves as a family, so what was the point of him being a complete outsider standing there.

So Kai rejected Iris' invitation. I guess others were just being polite. After all, it was Kai who provided the treatment opportunity, so it was reasonable to be polite. But if Kai agreed, it would be a bit too rude.

Iris didn't leave immediately. After she got the news about Batman this morning, she immediately became interested and thought there was news to be dug out, so she pestered Kai and hoped that he would accept her interview.

Unfortunately, Kai was not interested in the interview.

"Iris, your father is a policeman, right?"

Iris was very surprised why Kai asked this, but she answered honestly: "Of course!"

"Then you must know what a policeman, especially a policeman working on the front line, hates the most, right? It's fame!" Kai looked at the girl seriously.

"This is all old-fashioned!" Iris also had her own opinion. "This is Los Angeles, no one doesn't want to appear on TV, your branch chief likes to deal with us! And being famous doesn't hurt you, at least it will be much easier for you to get promoted and get a raise."

Most of the police who hate appearing in the media are old-school policemen. They always feel that what they do is too dangerous, and exposing themselves is equivalent to putting themselves in a dangerous situation, but now is a new era, and there are always some new people who don't care about this.

"Then did you know that I was ambushed not long ago?"

"I know, wasn't he caught?"

"You know?" Kai asked in surprise: "You know, and you still want to interview me? Do you think I'm in enough trouble? Do you want me to be attacked by more criminals? If you didn't expect it, it means you are really not smart enough, and you didn't even think of this. If you know this, it means you are bad enough, and you don't care about other people's lives for the sake of news. Okay, now tell me, why should I accept an interview with a reporter who is either stupid or bad?"

Kai's rapid-fire questioning confused Iris. She really didn't think so much. After all, her father has some face in the police industry, and with her identity as a reporter, generally speaking, the police are willing to accommodate her, and have never been scolded like this.

She was at a loss for words.

Kai ignored her. Almost all young people have a bad habit, that is, they think more about themselves, and always feel that the world needs to revolve around her/him.

There is no protagonist in the real world.

Those are all illusions.

Anyway, Kai is not interested in accommodating her.

...

"I'm telling the truth!" Shariz tried to stay calm and told herself not to get angry.

Harley Quinn, who was sitting opposite her, smiled in a formulaic way and kept nodding her head: "Yes, yes, yes, I know, what you said is true.

That look... anyone can see that she doesn't believe anything Shariz said at all.

"Harley! If you keep doing this, I'll be really angry!" Shariz couldn't help it at last.

Anyone who tells their true feelings to someone they trust, but the other person is perfunctory and doesn't believe it at all, will be as angry as Shariz.

"Okay, Shariz, I really want to believe you... but how can I believe this?" Harley was helpless. She is a psychologist, and you want her to believe in things like ghosts and evil spirits, which is not professional enough.

"But what I said is true, and I'm not the only one who saw it, there's also Kai!"

"What about the police who sent you here? "Harry still had some impression of Kai. She met Kai the last time she went to bail out Lucifer. "Do the police still handle exorcisms now?"

"I'm telling the truth!" Shariz said irritably, "I don't need antipsychotics!"

Shariz saw Harry write down the medicine she was going to prescribe for herself in her notebook.

Women, gossiping is their nature. In fact, it's not just women, but men as well. After learning a secret, some people really find it hard not to share it with others. Shariz is the same, especially since this matter is really... In short, she needs to talk, so that she can better relieve her mental stress.

So she told Harry.

Generally speaking, a good doctor-patient relationship is mutual trust, especially for psychologists. Harry did a good job in this regard. Her patients trusted him very much, and Shariz did the same. So after a few days of persistence, Shariz told her about the ghost that day.

But Harry's reaction...

"OK! OK! I get it. Then let's sort it out and see how many doubts there are. "Harry felt that her patient's paranoia seemed to be developing in other directions. "First of all, salt can deal with ghosts, right?"

"Yes, Kai said so."

"Then you know, the salt content of water in the human body is 9 parts per thousand. Logically speaking, the human body also contains salt. Doesn't that mean that ghosts can't harm humans?" Harry's angle was very tricky.

"Maybe... the content is too low, and a high concentration is needed?"

"Okay, even if you are right. What about pig iron? Salt can drive away ghosts, and that can be explained by the Bible story, but what the hell is pig iron?"

Salt indeed has extraordinary significance in Christianity. Matthew 5:13-16 says: "You are the salt of the world" and "You are the light of the world." But why pig iron can drive away ghosts, Harry really couldn't figure out the reason.

"This...I don't know."

"Also, you said that ghosts live in the relics and corpses of people who were alive. According to your statement, isn't the world full of ghosts?"

Harry's repeated questions made Shalizi unable to resist.

"Oh, I don't know how to exorcise demons. Kai told me this. →"

"Yes, these are what he said. My dear, now I seriously suspect that you have been deceived. Maybe it was the little policeman who wanted to pick you up."

"Then I really saw a ghost!"

"Maybe it was caused by something like hallucinogens." Harley firmly did not believe in the existence of ghosts.

"What do I have to say for you to believe me?"

"I won't believe it no matter what you say!" Harley raised her hands in front of her chest and made an X.

"How about we go find Kai?"

Harry was a little hesitant when he heard this. She was really curious about how Kai managed to trick his extremely shrewd friend into turning around. But it seemed a little bad to come to her door so rashly. It was without proof. Why should others pay attention to her?

At this moment, Harley's assistant, Miss Mary, knocked on the office door.

"Miss Quinn, it's time for Mrs. Andrew's appointment with you."

Hallie and Sharize were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't realize that the psychiatrist's time was paid by the minute after the appointment time.

"Yes!"

"What?"

"Mrs. Andrew!"

Salize was still confused.

…

"Dr. Quinn, I really need your help."

"Mrs. Andrew... you know, this kind of thing is not so simple, hypnotizing a person and erasing her memory. This is a very serious matter, and we are not sure what this will do to your daughter. The influence." Although Harley made up her mind, she did not let go at all.

"What's more...from the beginning to the end, you are my patient, your daughter. Forgive me to be honest, your daughter is very healthy, both physically and mentally! This is a good thing. I can't treat a healthy person People use this approach.”

Mrs. Andrew is a wealthy woman living in Malibu. Her husband is a senior employee of a multinational company, the kind with dividends. This is a typical housewife who was also Harley's patient before, treating menopausal irritability.

But some time ago, the rich lady found Harley, hoping that she could hypnotize her daughter and erase a memory of hers.

This kind of thing is against medical ethics and Harry cannot do it. So I refused.

As for the reason, it's the same as Sharize, damn it.

But Harley doesn’t believe it!

"Can you tell me why you want me to delete your daughter's memory?" Mrs. Andrew's previous explanation was not very detailed, and Harry didn't care. After all, she didn't believe it.

Mrs. Andrew hesitated for a long time, and finally said it.

It turns out that this originated from a murder case twelve years ago.

Mrs. Andrew is not a native of Los Angeles. She comes to Springwood, not far from Crystal State Park. Twelve years ago, a murder occurred locally, and a kindergarten cleaner was burned to death in a fire.

As for the murderer, he is the parent of the kindergarten student.

As for the reason, it is very simple. The cleaner is a pervert who smelt copper. Parents were furious after learning that their children had been molested, so instead of calling the police, a group of people planned to lynch the child.

Don’t think that the United States is a superpower and take it for granted that it is really a beacon of civilization. In fact, Americans are the hardest-hit areas when it comes to lynching, and lynching is still popular in many rural areas.

Anyway, they got too excited and burned the cleaner to death.

If things come to this point, it can at best be regarded as the plot of a crime drama, but what happens next becomes a supernatural film.

Kindergarten children began to die one after another. The ways of death are all kinds of strange, but they have one thing in common: they were all killed in their dreams. Many children told their parents that they were having nightmares.

People started to panic.

They searched desperately for the cause, but still found nothing. Children still died one after another.

That is until a priest appears, who has come to replace the retiring pastor class of the small town church, and he can exorcise demons.

He told people that it was the ghost of the cleaner who was causing trouble.

Finally he fights the ghost.

He won, and he didn't.

He told me that the ghost would come back. As long as one child remembers him, he will come back and start killing again. In order to ensure that he would not come back, he erased all children's memories of the cleaner and asked the adults to destroy everything that could remind the children of the cleaner.

The priest died two years later.

People did everything according to the pastor's instructions, and even many parents of the children moved out of the town with their children to live in other places. Andrew's family was one of them.

But recently, for some unknown reason, Mrs. Andrew's daughter began to have nightmares again, in which a terrifying figure was getting closer and closer to her.

…

Harry was stunned and wanted to say that Mrs. Andrew was talking nonsense, but these things seemed too real, and many details could not be made up just by making them up!

She thought about it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"Mrs. Andrew, I would like to meet your daughter."

…

Western District Police Station.

"Boss, we found out!"

Dan suddenly pushed open Kai's office door and shouted excitedly.

Kai was burying his head in sorting out the documents. SHIELD moved really fast. They picked up the people yesterday and delivered the things today. Dustin is also very generous. Since Kai brought these things, they naturally belong to the Crime Department. Kai is dealing with this now.

"Get out!" Kai said directly without raising his head.

Dan: "Huh?"

"Get out, come in again, knock on the door!"

"oh oh!"

Dan quickly knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Dan then came in. Kai also put away the documents at this time and raised his head to look at him.

"Tell me, what did you find?"

"I found out who those people have been in contact with these days." Dan took out a piece of information and handed it to Kai.

Kai took the information and started looking through it.

"Samuel Stern. Ph.D. in Chemistry and Physics from UCLA?" How could such a person hang out with a group of criminals?

"Yes! They've been in contact with this guy."

"Do you know what they want?"

"We sent people to investigate this Samuel Stern. He is a typical scientific madman. He has no other hobbies except research. He is a very simple person. According to people around him, someone brought him He is now experimenting with something he has never seen before, and those people are looking for Samuel Stern to urge him to make something as soon as possible. We are not sure what this Samuel Stern is. Does Dr. Deng have anything to do with those people?”

"Three days...that means there are still two days left?"

"Yes!" Dan was very excited.

Kai didn't even know what he was excited about.

"Is there any problem with the surveillance team?"

"No!"

"Very good, let's take action tonight! Take down these bastards in one fell swoop!"

"Yes! I'll inform someone!"

…

East District, Rowland Heights. Located in an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, there are many Chinese supermarkets, restaurants, doctor's clinics, and beauty salons that are convenient for Chinese life. It has become a commercial center in the East District of Los Angeles where Chinese people gather. Not only is there a variety of Chinese Supermarkets, there are also many Korean companies and restaurants here. But the residential area behind the Hong Kong supermarket is filled with many lower-income Hispanic or Latino and Mexican residents living here.

The security in this area is very poor. In a typical Wugui area, the police are reluctant to go there at night.

In the last century, there were many factories in this area, but as times changed, the factories either relocated or closed down, leaving only dilapidated factory buildings. Now it has become a paradise for crime, a sinful place full of drug trafficking and violence. Messy streets, broken barbed wire, and people of color wandering around.

Polly hates it here. She doesn't speak Spanish, and she doesn't like being around those rude Latinos. She likes rock and roll and alcohol, but that doesn't mean she can accept these rough and rough lifestyles. She prefers a refined life.

But there was nothing she could do, she was in trouble. She gave her boyfriend's drugs to her girlfriend to enjoy.

As a result... she was so high that she killed her girlfriend.

Polly liked Elise quite a bit, she was sexy, passionate, rich, and most importantly stupid.

But I didn't expect that she would be so useless... causing her to be chased by the police.
