Chapter 1: Criminal Minds (I.)
Qiao Heng has a secret, a secret that has accompanied him through life after life. This secret has been pressed in his heart for a long time, and gradually, he has another wish, a wish that has not changed for several years with his reincarnation.
He wanted to see Meng Po and begged her for a bowl of Meng Po soup to drink.
He had learned so many things, so much that even he didn't know how many kinds of knowledge, skills, and skills he had learned. He seldom talks about what he knows, because once he opens up the subject, he will inevitably be asked what he is best at. And Qiao Heng is most afraid of others asking him what his specialty is.
He is skilled in killing people, and his most proficient thing is perjury. He is quite good at whitewashing, malicious annexation, bullying and flattery, causing chaos in the government, and instigating war. Of course, to be precise, the original owners of those bodies in the past were quite good at it.
None of these things is a normal person's specialty. So far, Qiao Heng has not been able to say them without changing his face.
This time, he was reborn into the American imperialists. The original owner of the body still has a black history that he can't wait to stuff it back into his mother's womb and rebuild it, but unfortunately the biological parents of the original owner of the body have long passed away, and this attempt can only be abandoned.
Then, as he had done countless times before, he naturally accepted his new name and began a life that was new to him and to the original owner of the body.
These things are so skillful that he can't talk about them in detail.
In the early morning, after he got up, he went to the bathroom to wash up, and the cold water slapped on his face made his brain, which was still a little drowsy, wake up immediately.
He looked up, and in the mirror stained with a few drops of water, a face that was both strange and familiar was reflected. "He" has dark blonde hair, emerald eyes, a slightly deep facial contour, and well-defined and well-arranged facial features, which is an almost perfect face. If you smile at a lady, I'm afraid there is no lady who can not blush and heartbeat.
Even Qiao Heng, who has used a lot of other people's bodies, has to admit that this appearance is really good. It's just that no matter how good this appearance is, it's not his own.
He held water in his hand and poured it on the mirror, and the image reflected in the mirror immediately blurred. After doing so, he wiped his hands and left the bathroom.
After breakfast, he meticulously buttoned up his shirt, put on his coat, grabbed his car keys, and prepared to go to an art exhibition in Virginia.
As he drove away from the residential area, he noticed a large number of patrolling police officers at the end of the street, and there were even a few people in the crowd with the word FBI printed on their clothes.
Qiao Heng drove straight past in surprise, he had long been desperate for this world full of criminals.
On the news program, there is a poisoner this month, a religious criminal next month, and a serial rape/rape murderer next month.
Kuantico's car from the behavioral analysis department passed by Qiao Heng's.
Morgan, a black crew member in the BAU, stopped the car outside the scene of the crime, and he got out of the car, followed by Dr. Red, a member of the team.
The two strode into a private house to survey the crime scene.
In the bedroom, the corpse of a young male lay with a fatal bullet hole in his forehead and a messy scar on his body.
Morgan and Red checked around the room, and Morgan said, "The room was clean, and there was no sign of resistance. Like the body found three days ago, it was fatal with a single shot, and there were marks of knife cuts on the body, and if there was no accident, the knife wounds on this body were also caused after the death of the deceased. Looks like we've got a serial murderer. ”
Red subconsciously corrected: "No, as of today, he has only killed two people, and he can't be called a serial murderer now." The Federal Bureau's definition of a serial killer states that only a murderer who murders at least 'three' people, a killer who has no fixed place of crime, or a criminal who commits a mass murder in the same place can be called a ...... if there is a cooling-off period for the crime."
Based on his previous experience with Red, Morgan hastily interrupted the upcoming tirade and chimed in, "You're right. ”
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the first victim was the son of a high-ranking dignitary, the case should not have been handed over to Bau so quickly.
Red coughed lightly, "I mean, we'd better not let him actually become a serial killer, which means the death of another innocent citizen." ”
"That's right. Morgan unconsciously echoed as he examined the body.
After the two returned to Quantico with the scene investigation materials and photographs, the BAU team members began a profile of the suspect.
"What is certain is that the suspect had no accomplices and committed the crime alone. ”
"Both victims were blonde young men who lived alone and were single, had decent careers and were well educated. Apparently, the unknown suspect had investigated the victim's living conditions and had some contact and interaction with him. ”
"The cleanliness of the crime scene suggests that the unknown suspect was planning to kill the victim and maintained a certain level of calm and sanity. ”
"The suspects used knives to abuse the bodies of their victims after their deaths, but when killing them, they used the quick and effective method of shooting. He was either short in stature, weak in stature, or physically incapacitated. ”
"He's thin, but he's relatable. He is about 175 centimeters tall, about twenty-five years old, also highly educated, and has a good paying job. ”
"He had suffered a setback, perhaps emotionally, perhaps professionally, but in every way, it must have been given to him by a blond man. ”
"It should be emotional. Although the unknown suspect still abused the victim after his death, you see—" Morgan pointed to the pose of the two bodies in the photograph, "their positions were posed, but the suspect did not deliberately put the victim in an insulting or coercive position, as other revenge murderers did, but instead assumed a natural sleeping position on his back." This shows that the suspect has a grudge against them, but at the same time, he does not want to cause them too much insult, and the unknown suspect maintains a kind of respect or admiration for them in the depths of his heart. ”
Red opened his mouth, then said, "How do I feel, you're talking about ...... Is this a gay offender?"
Morgan spread his hands, "It's not certain, or it's just a cult of personality." ”
Before the BAU team could find more information about the unknown suspect, the next day, another victim appeared less than two kilometres away from the second victim.
Bau's director, Hu Qi, called Garcia, a member of the technical section.
Garcia, who was facing several computer screens, picked up the phone, "Queen Garcia is at your service~"
Hu Qi drew a rough geographical area based on the location where the three victims were found, "Help me find people in these two residential areas." White man between twenty-five and thirty years of age, blonde, with excellent higher education, high salary, unmarried, living alone, without any bad record. ”
After a while, Garcia's voice rang on the phone: "I know that there are not many good men who are so good but single, there are four in total, and I will fax their names to you." ”
Hanging up the phone, Hu Qi said to the group members present: "Garcia has found a total of four people who match the description, and if there is no accident, the fourth victim is one of them." ”
He called the names of several people, "Wait a minute, you guys take the address Garcia found out and go to their house." ”
The group members nodded silently.
......
After coming into this world, Qiao Heng was like the rest of his class, and after work, he would go to a café from time to time, occasionally go to a classical concert, attend a solo art exhibition, and hold a party with others on a yacht on the weekend, which looked no different.
In fact, it is indeed no different, the only difference is that what should have been a random leisure and entertainment has been arranged by him as a regular event. Gather with friends once a week, attend concerts once every three months, attend art exhibitions at least once every six months, and travel domestically and overseas at least once a year.
His daily schedule is accurate to the minute. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of life is really rigid and boring, but Qiao Heng is happy with it, and he likes regular things.
If there were no messy crimes in this world, his life would be more comfortable now. Qiao Heng sighed.
After the latest serial murder case made the TV news, Qiao Heng knew that there was a fatal mistake in Bau's profile of the unknown suspect. He knew better who the killer who killed the blonde man was really targeting.
He checked the gun in his hand, attached a few bullets, fastened the safety bolt, and put it in the holster to carry it with him. No one knew that he was still hiding a dagger on his body.
Red was carrying a bag cross-body, and the whole person didn't look like an FBI at all, but like a student who was still in school. He looked at the address on the paper and was sure it was the house.
He knocked on the door, and it was a young man with blond hair who opened the door for him, just as stated in the file that Garcia had investigated.
Qiao Heng saw this young man who appeared outside his house and was suspected of being a college student, and took out a document from his pocket. Red: "FBI. ”
He wasn't surprised by the FBI's arrival, he leaned sideways and said, "Please come in." ”
After the other party walked into the living room, he closed the door with his hand.
Red sat down and checked the other party's identity, "Brian Sterling?"
Qiao Heng nodded, "Yes, I am." ”
Rhett introduced himself: "Spencerreid."
He didn't waste time greetings, but directly stated his intentions. He was here both to investigate and protect potential targets.
In fact, in addition to himself sitting in the room, there were two federal police officers sitting in the car outside. These two federal police officers are the main force responsible for protecting potential victims, and the protective role that Red's field FBI can play can almost be counted as a number, and his work is mainly investigation.
He looked at the neatly dressed and polite man opposite, and reflexively profiled him. This is a wealthy, successful, artistic, polite upper-class man, single, unmarried, with parents who died young, armed with a gun, and has a license to carry a gun.
The qiē that came out of the other party's table was exactly the same as described in the file, but for some reason Rhett always felt a little disobedient.
