Chapter 681: Hypnosis (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote for Me) Please Vote for Me!!!

Charlize Theron's niece is Hope Schlatman, a student in New York. →Although she is the niece of Charlize Theron, she is very low-key. Almost no one knows that her aunt is actually a famous Oscar-winning actress.

Originally, Hope was just like an ordinary college student, going to school, playing, and dating, nothing unusual, but just three months ago. She suddenly lost contact with her family. Her father Bob only has one daughter like her, so he has always been very precious to her. After losing contact with his daughter, he was crazy and immediately came to New York to find Hope.

As a result, after searching around, he learned from Hope's former boyfriend that Hope suddenly eloped with a man...

Bob almost went crazy. He felt that his daughter was definitely not that kind of person. Even if she wanted to change her boyfriend, she didn't need to elope, right? Would he, as a father, care whether she changed her boyfriend or not? But in the following time, Bob really couldn't find his daughter.

For this reason, he contacted everyone he could contact, hoping to find his daughter, and even called the police.

The police investigated but did not classify it as missing. After all, Hope followed someone else on her own. There was nothing special about her except that she suddenly changed her boyfriend. Moreover, by checking her credit card account, they found that Hope had always had consumption records. So the police were more inclined to believe that it was Hope's own behavior and did not constitute a missing person.

Shariz was also very anxious. In the end, she hired a private detective, but it was useless. Her niece seemed to have disappeared.

Until recently, they finally got news about Hope.

Unfortunately, it was not good news.

Hope was arrested.

The reason was that she killed a couple with a table knife in a cafe and planned to attack an elderly couple... and in public.

This made Shariz and Bob very anxious. Everyone subconsciously thinks that the people around them, especially their relatives, are good people. Shariz and Bob are no exception. They think there must be something fishy about this.

But before they could question the case, the police gave them a new blow.

After the police psychologist's examination, Hope had very serious depression and split personality. Simply put, she is mentally ill...

"So...what do you want me to do? Find him a good lawyer?" Kai felt puzzled. Murder! What can he do? Help her get away with the crime? Isn't that a lawyer's job? Should he abuse his power for personal gain? But there is no reason. This case does not belong to him at all, let alone the 15th Precinct. He is not even qualified to intervene.

"No!" Shariz waved her hand, then hesitated for a while, and then said carefully: "Both and I don't believe that Hope would do such a thing...Do you think it could be...that kind of thing?"

Shariz couldn't figure out why her niece became a murderer after being missing for three months. →If it was before, maybe she would still have that brain hole, but she had seen those things in Los Angeles, so she thought...whether it was something like evil spirits.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why a sunny and beautiful girl like Hope suddenly became like that.

"You mean I want to see...if there are any supernatural events?" Kai said a little embarrassedly.

"Thank you!" Shariz immediately stood up and bowed.

Kai smacked his lips and said with some embarrassment: "Salize... I am willing to believe that your niece is innocent, really. But you have to understand one thing... that is, even if your niece is really possessed by something... she can't change her confession."

This is why demon hunters wander on the edge of society, because those things can't be put on the table! For example, a demon hunter kills a werewolf, but the werewolf will not remain in the appearance of a werewolf after death, it is a human corpse!

The police and society will not admit that the demon hunter did a good thing, they will only judge it as a murder.

Similarly, even if Hope was really possessed by a dirty thing and killed people, for the whole society, there is no supernatural event at all, only the fact that Hope killed people.

This case can't be overturned at all.

Even Kai can't do it.

"How is it possible?!" Salize obviously didn't expect this to happen. "We can explain the situation to the prosecutor and the judge!"

Kai spread his hands: "Who would believe it? Think about it yourself, if you haven't encountered such a thing, would you believe it?"

This kind of thing can't be used as evidence at all.

"Is there really no way?" Shariz murmured in despair.

Harley glared at Kai, then hugged Shariz and comforted her: "We can find other ways."

"Well, maybe you can sue her for her psychological problems. It's better to be in the hospital than in prison." Kai made a sincere suggestion.

Shariz smiled miserably, and then she became firm again: "I still want to ask you! I want to know the truth, and we have the power."

Kai had no reason to refuse.

"Okay."

...

"Thank you, Ms. Miske." In the hospital, Kai met the person in charge of this case, Detective Palmer Miske, the head of the serious crime team of the 11th Precinct of New York. She is a very tough-looking woman, not tall, with a serious face, sharp eyes, and a very sharp temperament. She looks not easy to mess with.

But this is not surprising. Without such momentum, it is really difficult for a woman to reach this position. → No matter how to cover up, the police profession is still a man's world. There are really not many female police officers who can stand out.

"It's okay." Miske looked normal. In fact, according to her style of doing things, it is impossible for others to interfere in her case at will. But how to say it, people can't live in a vacuum, Kai asked George to smooth the relationship. Strictly speaking, George is still Miske's boss. So... Americans also value human feelings, and even Americans themselves are a society of human feelings.

"The suspect's emotions are very unstable. You can ask some questions, but..."

"I understand. We are not here to cause trouble. I know the rules."

"That's good."

After speaking, Miske led everyone to Ward 404. A very subtle number.

Kai saw through the door of the ward that Hope was sitting in the corner of the room in a straitjacket, staring at the corner with lifeless eyes. The whole person seemed like a walking corpse, without any life.

Sally looked at Kai nervously.

As a result, Kai shook his head. There was no remnant of supernatural phenomena, and he did not feel the cold soul breath of evil spirits on Hope.

This has nothing to do with supernatural phenomena.

Shariz's face was pale, which meant... she couldn't find any excuse for her niece. Harley quickly put her arm around Shariz's shoulders and whispered to comfort her.

Kai looked at Shariz's expression and could only sigh in his heart, although Shariz's experience was sigh-worthy. But if you look at it from the perspective of the victim... Shariz's sadness is not worth mentioning. The couple did nothing and were inexplicably killed. Aren't they more miserable?

And it's still unclear whether Hope is innocent.

"Does she have any new situation?" Kai saw that Shariz needed time to calm down, so he asked the doctor on the side.

"We have tried various methods to hope to establish communication with her, but with little success. She rarely speaks. Only once did I hear her say, 'He made me do this.'" The doctor looked at Shariz and didn't expect that this case would involve this Oscar-winning actress. Fortunately, the hospital has regulations that patients' private information must be kept confidential, so he can't ask casually, let alone tell it casually.

"He? Who? What did he ask her to do?"

"I don't know. We plan to ask in depth, but... her condition immediately became extremely bad. So we don't have much information so far." The doctor said regretfully. "Her mental state is extremely bad, which is a big problem. As a doctor, I still recommend not to stimulate her."

"It doesn't matter. We brought a psychiatrist here. She is a professional." Kai motioned Harley to come over to do the work.

Harley patted Shariz's shoulder, and then immediately changed her state and walked over.

"Psychiatrist?"

Like the police, doctors don't like their patients to be interfered with by other doctors, especially psychiatrists, because their profession is more special.

Harley smiled friendly, and then told her education, degree, and position. In the United States, university is a very good symbol of identity.

Ivy League and ordinary universities, that is definitely a class difference.

After Harley reported her doctoral degree from Stanford University and her position at the Presbyterian Columbia and Cornell University Hospital, the doctor stopped talking. There is no way, crushing. Then the two had a very professional exchange, anyway, all kinds of professional terms, ordinary people would not be interested.

After about half an hour of communication, the two entered the ward together.

Neither of them minded that Kai and Shariz appeared in front of Hope now. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

An hour later, the doctor and Harley came out of the ward.

Kai didn't want to waste time on politeness. He just "listened" in the whole process outside the door and didn't miss a word. But he still wanted to hear the judgment of Harley, a professional, and asked directly: "How is it? Do you have any clues?"

Harley nodded and shook her head: "Hope's situation is indeed problematic, and it should be related to a certain "him". But..."

At this point, she hesitated,

"What?" Kai asked.

Shariz also looked over nervously. What she cared about most was Hope's situation.

Harley was silent for a moment before she said: "The following is my speculation, which may not be in line with the facts. You need to find out, OK?"

"Of course!" Kai nodded. Looking at Harley's appearance, is there any hidden secret in this?

"Hope has been with a man for some time. This man may have hypnotized Hope for a long time." Harley said solemnly.

Kai looked at Harley in surprise: "You mean someone used psychology to control her?"

Kai glanced at the doctor, and the other party nodded.

"Wait, isn't this only in movies?" Using psychological techniques to control people... This kind of thing is simple to say, but it is difficult to do in practice. If it is really that powerful, wouldn't all psychologists become dangerous elements?

Harley rolled her eyes at him, and then said: "Don't underestimate psychology! Although this kind of thing is difficult, it is not completely impossible to do it."

"Can you do it?" Kai asked curiously.

"Tsk..." Harley shook her head unhappily: "I can't do it."

Sharize didn't care about this. She cared more about: "So Hope is innocent!!!"

Harley hesitated for a while: "You can say that."

Sharize was really relieved now. She didn't expect things to turn around so quickly.

Just when Shariz was happy, the doctor looked very embarrassed... An expert can tell whether there is any problem with one move. Look at him, then look at herself... Even Misk, who had been playing the background, looked at Harley in surprise.

She felt that she had to tell the bureau to change a cooperating psychologist.

"Then do you know who that person is?" Misk felt that this was her case, and there were some situations that she had to know.

Harley paused, thought for a moment, and then continued: "Not yet, but... this person's behavior is a bit unscrupulous, and he didn't even give Molly a "gag order". So as time goes by, Hope should be able to tell about his experience in the past few months, including his information."

"He is either a lunatic, or he is very confident in his hypnosis skills and is sure that no one can report him." Harley continued: "If you go to investigate him, you'd better be careful. His hypnosis level may be very high, and the effect is definitely much stronger than that of ordinary psychologists."

Misk frowned. This thing... she has never encountered it.

"Then can you break his hypnosis?"

Harley hesitated for a long time, and nodded slightly: "I can try to take it slowly. Time is on our side after all."

Misk looked at the doctor: "Can I trouble you?"

Harley of course has no problem. In fact, she is very curious about what happened to Hope.

"No!" Unfortunately, Kai refused directly.

"Why?"*3

Seeing the expressions of everyone, Kai curled his lips.

"Have you forgotten the principle of avoidance?"

Harley is a good friend of Shariz, and Shariz is Hope's aunt. Although it is a bit confusing, if Harley really participated in breaking the other party's hypnosis, then the prosecution will use this point to make a point. It is really difficult to have direct evidence in psychology. If this kind of joint relationship is brought up, the lethality is not ordinary.

At that time, it will not help Hope, but harm her!

Misk immediately reacted, indeed. Of course, this was not originally within her consideration, because she was a police officer and only needed the truth. As for the trial, it had nothing to do with her. But now that Kai has spoken out about this, she can no longer ask Harley for help.

"I will arrange for the bureau to find an expert to take charge of this matter." Miske said seriously.

And that doctor... his senses are the most complex, which means that his professional level is completely questioned. But he has no good way to explain it.
