Chapter 22: Intuition
Lin Xiuyi drove on Interstate 90 at full speed, and on this way, the GTR gave full play to the ability of the highway god of war, allowing Lin Xiuyi to experience unprecedented exhilaration.
Because the Green River Killer changed his car for the second time, the Seattle police have completely lost the trace of the Green River Killer. However, the city of Seattle has laid a wide net, and the Green River Killer continues to stay in Seattle, and it is only a matter of time before he is caught. The massive police blockade is driving the Green River killers along Route 90 and the Green River Valley. The Green River has limited navigability, and even small boats cannot pass through it after crossing King County.
Rudy Anderson's house is located in Benwa County, Idaho, near the intersection of HSD and Idaho, and is an idyllic farm town. But for three decades, the residents of Benwa County had no idea that they had been living with a dangerous neighbor.
"We thought he had stopped for thirty-five years, but in fact he had just moved, and the Green River Killer had never interrupted his murderous plans, and he had killed Rudy Anderson in the dove's nest, and he had taken over his car and house, and no one had noticed it for thirty-five years. So I concluded that the Green River Killer must have some other residence in Benwa County, and our purpose was to wait for him in Benwa County, waiting for him to run headfirst into our encirclement. Lin Xiuyi explained his plan to Sean.
Along the way, Sean's phone calls were never interrupted. Just after they drove into Idaho, Sean received a call from Barney who claimed that they had found the home of the second car.
"Sean, I'm sorry, it's supposed to be a scrapped car, but it has been converted into a brand new car, and we can't track down the exact owner of this Ford pickup," Barney explained to Lin Xiuyi over the phone.
"Modified car, it's kind of interesting!" Lin Xiuyi really didn't expect that the Green River Killer would also have the modified scrapped car itself. However, Lin Xiuyi suddenly thought of a question. The women on Highway 90 met almost every day, didn't they notice that the girls who were killed were going with that guy? Now thinking of the Green River Killer's ability to modify cars, Lin Xiuyi also figured out that this guy probably has more than one car, and he probably bought some scrapped vehicles from the car dismantling factory and modified them himself. If you think about it again, is this guy doing it for a living?
Now that the Green River Killer has become a lost dog, if a person continues to succeed, he will most likely not cope with failure. Although he is not 100% sure, Lin Xiuyi is willing to bet on Benwa County, in the small town where Rudy Anderson's house is located.
Benwa County is not small, but it is a remote agricultural county, so the population is not large, and the town of Hadland, where Rudy Anderson lives, has an even smaller population, with a total of only a few hundred households. All the shops in Hadland Town are concentrated on a road that runs through the middle of the town. This road is the only way in and out of Hadland, and after getting off Highway 90, cars can continue along this road, and after passing through the town, there are farms and farmlands.
The Seattle FBI has already communicated with the Idaho FBI, and the federal agents who had rushed here have been evacuated from here. Only a small number of agents were hidden in the town, watching the movement of passing vehicles. Once it finds that there is a vehicle that can be seen, the FBI will want to get closer to the law and find out. Now the F.B.I. is trying to make it look like nothing happened.
When Lin Xiu arrived here, it was already time when the sun was about to set. He and Sean bought some burgers from a restaurant in town and ate them in the car. I have to say that Lin Xiuyi and Sean were really tired from the dust along the way.
"Lin, if the Green River Killer hadn't come here, but had gone somewhere else, my career at the FBI would have come to an end!" Sean said with some emotion.
"I'm sorry, I'm not completely sure that the Green River Killer will come back, I just intuitively feel that the Green River Killer will subconsciously think that this place is safe, it's just a gut feeling, if it fails in the future, I will take all the responsibility!" Lin Xiuyi said to Sean sincerely.
"Lin, actually, I want to say that even if I leave the FBI, there is nothing wrong with it, if I can leave the FBI sooner, maybe I won't get divorced! I can go to a stable job and go to the bar every day after work to have a drink and relax. I can go fishing in the Green River on the weekends, or grill some steak with friends in the backyard, which is a complete luxury for me right now......"
"Lin, you are still young, if you have the opportunity in the future, it is better to leave the front line, this is also a little advice from a middle-aged man who has failed in marriage......"
Sean and Lin Xiuyi sat in the car, in order to pass the boring time, the two chatted about life for a while, this is the first time in such a long time. Lin Xiuyi felt a little strange, obviously the two of them are under tremendous pressure now, and it depends on whether the Green River killer, who has been at large for thirty-five years, can be caught, but the two of them are sitting in the car and chatting about things that have nothing to do with work. It's like sitting at the bar and grumbling over a beer.
Sean shared with Lin Xiuyi his failed marriage and broken family, regretting that he should not join the FBI, and should find a position in a large company to be an easier office worker. That way, you don't have to deal with the endless serial killers and perverts on Route 90. And Lin Xiuyi shared some experiences of being a human being in two lives, and his former undercover career has completely disrupted Lin Xiu's original life. He didn't dare to tell his relatives that he was an undercover agent, and he had never been in contact with his relatives since he broke into the drug cartels. Lin Xiu was even a little glad that he was killed by the people of the drug cartel, and because of this, he was able to say goodbye to the past and live a relatively normal life.
The two of you said a word, and they spent the long night like this, but until the next day, Dongfang showed a slight glimmer of light, and did not wait for the arrival of the Green River Killer. Lin Xiuyi and Sean let out a long sigh, it seems that their choice was wrong this time.
Just as the two of them were about to open the car door, find a place to get drunk, and then go back to accept the wrath of their superiors, the roar of a motor suddenly came from the road in the distance......
