Chapter 945 Beef Tartare

The kitchen has always been regarded as the domain of women, but Anthony Marcus didn't mind wearing an apron around his waist at all.

He actually likes to cook quite a bit, especially the presentation, the cheese and sausage sprinkled pizza at a fast food restaurant is very appetizing, but there is no dress code for that kind of occasion.

When Anthony put the dish in front of Mills, the former detective suddenly felt that he was wearing the wrong clothes.

He was supposed to be wearing a suit, the same one he had worn when he proposed to Trish, but his shirt hadn't been changed in two days, and there were ketchup marks on his coat.

Traditional beef tartar is eaten raw, but its protein structure has not been destroyed, so it cannot reflect the umami taste of the meat. If the food is cooked at a high temperature, the moisture in the meat will decrease, so that the unique taste of raw beef will be lost. , so I tried low-temperature cooking, the sauce has been incorporated into the fiber of the beef during cooking, and the top dish I used was salmon roe and seaweed.

It's like sushi, Mills said.

That's right, many people believe that mustard has a bactericidal effect, just like people in the Middle Ages believed that burning spicy spices can sterilize. In fact, mustard can only inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In addition to appetizing, it can also inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms in food... ...

Anthony was still talking at length, but Mills had already started eating. He picked up a piece of sushi with a fork and swallowed it in one bite.

My God. Mills wailed in pain.

I use wasabi root. Anthony handed him a glass of water. It tastes much hotter than yellow mustard on hot dogs.

Why didn't you say it earlier. Mills accused with tears in his eyes, covering his head dazed by mustard.

Anthony smiled and said, What brought you back to Los Angeles?

Mills had to drink water tons and tons, and as if he didn't care about Anthony's question, he put up a finger to make him wait.

After the glass of water bottomed out, Mills returned to normal. He looked at Anthony and asked, Do you know how to hypnotize, doctor?

What do you mean?

There was a hypnotist who was hypnotized by the person he was supposed to be hypnotized by.

Is this a new popular stage performance?

No, the hypnotized subject was a 17-year-old girl.

What is the hypnotist hypnotizing her for?

Investigate something.

What's up?

I don't want to answer, it's privacy.

I told you in the office just now that your secrets are absolutely safe with me, even if you intend to kill someone. Anthony slowly ate the beef tartare with a fork, like eating a cake.

She went to Detroit, and suddenly she could speak Latin. Mills said after a moment of consideration.

Anthony paused.

You mean, like 'possessed'?

Yes, said Mills heavily. You know of any other reason for a man to suddenly speak Latin? Doctor.

Why did you suddenly start investigating this kind of thing? the doctor asked.

I'm serving the church now, Mills said impatiently.

Investigate for exorcism?

I'm here for consultation, and you should give me the answer.

There is a fee for consultation, David, did I ask you for a fee? The doctor said with a smile.

So you're going to charge me? Well, tell me, give me a number. Mills pulled a checkbook from his coat pocket.

No, I just want to know you better and talk about what happened to you in the past few years, just like old friends reminiscing about the old days.

I don't know you at all. Mills shook his head in resistance.

I see, you pay attention to privacy. Dr. Anthony stared at Mills, as if his brain was thinking extremely fast.

However, he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

The church car used to be very ostentatious, such as a round badge on the radiator grille, but now if anyone puts a badge on his car, it is tantamount to installing a target on his car, and others will use it strangely. Look at him. Mills finally didn't write anything in the checkbook, he slumped on the chair, and said listlessly.

I understand. Anthony said softly, Did religion help you get over the pain of losing your wife?

No, it was a priest. To be precise, he was an exorcist. He told me that the perverted ghost was haunting me and urging me to kill more people.

You trust him?

Mills said impatiently, Do you believe in ghosts in this world? Doctor.

Anthony didn't answer his question.

What's the name of that priest?

Joseph.

What's his last name?

I don't know, but he seems to be a celebrity, a lot of people know him.

Anthony crossed his fingers and leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

Have you ever heard of conversion hysteria?

What?

According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory, this is the expression of inner subconscious conflicts and repressed desires through conversion mechanisms as symptoms of physical diseases, such as sensory loss, paresthesia, blindness, deafness, hemiplegia, paraplegia, convulsions, tremors etc., but there is no organic lesion as the basis and cannot be explained by anatomical and physiological mechanisms.

That girl doesn't have the symptoms you mentioned.

I know, what I'm talking about is another case. Anthony said perfunctorily, Hysteria can be traced back to ancient Egypt and the Hippocrates period. Uterus, the word hysterical is more about physical symptoms lacking the basis of known organ lesions, women are very dramatic, especially in families that lack love, they will deliberately act hysterical in order to attract attention Behavior, you don't know how good actresses are at reciting their lines.

You mean she's faking it.

I didn't say that.

Then tell me, is it possible for a person without professional training to hypnotize a professional hypnotist?

Anthony was silent.

The hypnotist told me about animal magnetism, do you agree with what he said?

There are some instant hypnosis methods, which can put a person into a hypnotic state in about ten seconds, but that requires the active cooperation of the hypnotized person, or when the other party is not paying attention. In 2000, a shoulder-patting instant hypnosis method was popular on the streets. , maybe the girl you mentioned learned some small doses from the street, and then hypnotized him while the hypnotist was not paying attention.

Is there such a possibility, there is a guy, he is very smart, he hypnotized the girl, and let her accept the hypnotic suggestion, if someone wants to unravel his hypnosis, she will hypnotize the other party.

Anthony smiled and shook his head.

Having one person in a hypnotic state hypnotizes another person, very creative idea, I think Hollywood screenwriters will love it.

To be honest, I don't like reading very much. Mills said in great pain, Damn Dante! But in order to investigate the case, I forced myself to read. Why are some people so smart but doing such crazy things?

You mean, you watch Dante to fight crime?

Do I have any other options?

Anthony had nothing to say.

Do you know who Beatrice is?

The woman who took Dante to heaven. Mills picked up a fork and rudely dismembered the beef on the plate He had a crush on her since the age of nine, but she later married a banker and died at the age of 24 .”

And do you know Sandro Botticelli?

I know, he's a famous painter, he painted the Birth of Venus, Mills said, chewing on the beef.

There is also Dante's picture of Hell, which few people know about. Anthony ate the starter gracefully.

What do you mean?

When people lose their goals and are full of uncertainty about the future, anxiety will prompt them to turn to 'magic' and divination. I have seen many patients whose souls are distorted by society and culture's perception of beauty and body image. Yes, body dysmorphic disorder has benefited the plastic surgery industry. In fact, the actress whose nose was cut off can restore her appearance through plastic surgery. Her psychological endurance is too weak. Anthony looked at the tender and delicious beef on the fork and said, What is even more frightening is eating disorder nervosa. Actresses and models are prone to this disease. Some people can’t tolerate having something in their stomach, and some people pay too much attention to calorie intake and become very anxious. Sometimes my work is Eat with them.

It's such an easy job.

Anthony shook his head with a smile, and put the beef into his mouth.

Mills continued to gorge on nothing, and Anthony ate at a much faster speed. For a while, the restaurant was filled with a happy atmosphere, although no one spoke.

Every time I see Ron's delicious taste, I feel that he is so happy. Which national dish is that red pudding?
