Chapter 514: Organized Serial Killers
Jim gives a list of travelers that gets Kate's group running at high speed.
Even if most of the conditions for psychological profiling have been brushed down, there are still more than 100 people who want to check them one by one.
Some of these people are still in Los Angeles, and some have not been able to find their whereabouts for a short time, making it extremely difficult to investigate.
Kate not only sent all her subordinates out, but also applied to the top for additional manpower, but she was still a little stretched.
But Min Xue didn't seem to have much interest in this line, sitting at his desk, in a daze every day.
The FBI agents who were in a hurry all rolled their eyes when they saw this.
I didn't have a good impression of this guy, and I was so leisurely when everyone's busy feet didn't touch the ground, I really wanted to make people ruthless!
"You say, could the content in the video be recorded later, so it's a mystery?"
"No, I went to check it out and it's true. ”
"I guess he's lucky, right. ”
"The suspect stuttered or something, you try one?"
The agents who came out of breath couldn't help but exchange a few more words, but they were glared at by Smith and ran away.
Detective Smith stepped in front of Min Xue, pulled a chair and sat down, tall and long-legged, with a sense of nowhere to place, the picture that should have been funny seemed harmonious under the temperament of the owner.
"Thinking about the case?"
Min Xue didn't respond to this nonsense, but asked, "You should also think this case is a little strange, right?"
Without waiting for Smith to respond, Min Xue continued, "Judging from the three cases, the killer we are looking for this time should be an organized serial killer. ”
"He will choose the victim, he will plan the tracking, he will bring his own murder weapon, he will kill and dispose of the body, he will throw the body... All this shows that he is an organized serial killer. ”
But some of his deeds are contrary to this. ”
Agent Smith intervened, "The frequent killings at such short intervals, the large number of crimes committed across geographies, and the different types of victims... It's really not quite like the organized serial killers we've encountered in the past. ”
"But everyone is an individual, and not all serial killers will follow certain rules, which is why we need to analyze differently according to different cases. ”
Agent Smith must have done education and training work, and his tone is very much like that of a life coach.
Min shrugged his shoulders and did not deny Smith's argument.
Although he thought this case was weird, he was afraid it would be difficult to come up with a reason just by sitting here and thinking about it.
Before the identity of the deceased was confirmed, Kate's method was the most direct and effective at present, and Min Xue decided to help as well.
It's been a day, and I don't know how the 100-odd Kate is investigating.
As soon as Min Xue stood up, he saw Kate walking in with a file, "A suspect has been found, you see." ”
Smith took the file, "Jay, a reporter, this person shouldn't be on the list we gave, right?"
True, according to the profile, the murderer should have been between forty and fifty years old, and Jay was only twenty-five, which clearly does not fit their profile.
Kate explained with a firm expression, "According to the list you gave, our Los Angeles Police Department sent additional personnel to follow up in groups, but nothing came to fruition, until one of his colleagues Jay looked different when we talked to a suspect, so we came into our sight. ”
After investigation, this Jay happened to be on a business trip in New York during the crime, and New York and New Jersey are only separated by a river, and it only takes an hour to go back and forth. ”
Smith had already looked through the file and handed it to Min Xue, "In addition to the age match, the other background information does not match the profile." ”
Min Xue took it and swept it with ten lines at a glance.
Jay, a reporter for a newspaper, is single, his parents are still alive and not divorced, and from the fact that he can easily see that the police look different, his personality should not be calm.
This is inconsistent with the profile, it is completely contrary to it!
If this person is really the murderer, not only Min Xue, but also the agents of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Department, including Smith, can go home and drink milk.
But if you want to say that there is no problem, why is this little reporter panicking?
"Did you bring anyone back?" Smith asked Kate.
"I brought it back, and we didn't startle him, and the excuse we used was that we wanted to ask him privately about the colleague," and Kate looked like "you can rest assured that I am doing things".
"He just came back with him?" Min Xue asked.
Kai nodded.
The Smith had already walked out, "So this Jay, not a good citizen who is law-abiding and willing to help cooperate with the police, there must be something wrong?"
He decided to meet Jay's children in person, and Kate dragged Min Xue to follow quickly.
In order not to scare the children, only Smith entered the room alone, while Min Xue and Kate stayed in the monitoring room to watch.
Jay's face is as mature as a foreigner, he is only twenty-five years old, and he looks no different from his thirties, or it may be caused by his bad messy hair, and the whole person has no energy.
As Kate said, Jay sat at the table, his hands unconsciously clasped and loosened, although his face looked calm, but on closer inspection, it was not difficult to see a trace of panic flashing in his eyes from time to time.
This panic was even more evident when Smith sat down in front of him.
"Don't be nervous, just ask a few questions routinely," Smith deliberately slowed down his momentum, but the effect didn't seem to be obvious.
Seeing this, Smith casually asked a few questions about Jay's colleagues, which made him slowly relax.
"Well, you see, it's as simple as that," Smith seemed to finish the questioning after a few more moments.
It could be seen that Jay breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but relax.
"If it's okay, I'll go first, there's an interview to write," Jay picked up his clothes, ready to leave.
"Of course, at any time," Smith asked cheerfully, chatteringly, "I heard you went on a business trip to New York last week, and it was a good place to go, do you want to walk around?"
Jay just wanted to escape from here at the moment, so he didn't think about it at all, and replied casually, "No, I had an interview assignment for those two days, and I was in New York all the time, so I didn't have time to go out for tours." ”
After saying that, Jay hurriedly opened the door and walked out, no matter how he looked like he was fleeing in a hurry.
Kate pushed the door out of the surveillance room and asked, "Just let him go?"
Agent Smith just spread his hands and walked towards the office.
Kate almost jumped to her feet.
Min Xue also walked out of the monitoring room at this moment, and persuaded with a smile, "Otherwise, what reason are you going to use to detain it? Expression management is out of control?"
"It's not funny at all!" Kate grimaced.
"Well, I've never had much of a sense of humor," Min Xue shrugged, "but I think Agent Smith should be investigating Jay's trip in New York." ”
Kate wasn't stupid after all, and when she heard the words, she came to her senses, "You mean..."
That's right, as long as Jay is found to be lying to the police, then there is a reason for detention, right?
