Chapter 20: Juditia's Blindfold (2)

Jacob came to the door of the house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's 5:45 p.m., and it's time for many families to start cooking dinner.

He hesitated, but stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

"Dangdang~"

A crisp sound echoed throughout the house.

"Who?"

As a female voice asked, the inner door opened a gap.

Jacob hurriedly held up the press card in his hand and said to her: "Ms. Lopez, I'm Jacob Stanford, a reporter from CNN, and I want to interview you... ”

Beth didn't wait for Jacob to finish speaking, she slammed the door behind and yelled, "Get out of here, you shameless stinking things, I don't have anything to say to you!

Jacob didn't panic.

In his five years as a journalist, Jacob has come across a similar situation many times. Not everyone wants to be in the news, and not everything can be interviewed by reporters and made public. When humans are touched in a sore spot or sensitive area, their first instinct is to protect themselves. Just like a beaver that encounters a crocodile in nature, even a gentle and cute beaver will attack the crocodile that tries to hunt it, and the crocodile can be chased away by a herd of beavers with their calls.

In this case, the most effective way is to communicate calmly. All Jacob needed to do now was to show Beth what he was here for, to let Beth know that he was on her side.

"Ms. Lopez, I'm different from other reporters, I'm here to tell more people the story of you and Anderson!"

Beth stopped swearing frantically.

For a period of time after Anderson's suicide, some tabloid reporters also came to interview Beth, and Beth was also very excited to tell the reporter what happened to Anderson. But in the end, some reporters didn't publish any information about Anderson in the newspaper at all, some shifted the focus of the matter, and some attacked Beth's background. Just like "American Serious Case Season 2", Bay has no power to fight back. After all, what she is facing is a prostitute known as the uncrowned king~~

Now that there is a person who claims to be a reporter for CNN and is willing to tell everyone his story truthfully, Beth is still willing to take a risk. After all, how bad can the worst be, and what worse can it be?

Beth opens the door and invites Jacob in.

Jacob thanked Beth.

"Do you want coffee or tea?" asked Beth.

"Just coffee, thank you, Ms. Lopez. Jacob responded.

Beth came to the living room with two cups of coffee from the kitchen.

"Just call me Beth, Mr. Stanford. ”

Jacob Stanford took the coffee with both hands and said to Beth in the same way, "Jacob, please call me Jacob." ”

Beth sat down facing Jacob, holding the cup in both hands, leaning on her lap, and asked, "So, Jacob, what do you want to know?"

Jacob turned on the recorder and placed it on the table.

He flipped open a brand new notebook, held a pen in his right hand, and gently wrote on the first page, "The Story of Anderson Lopez"

Jacob looked up at Beth, smiled slightly, and said, "So, Beth, tell me about Anderson." ”

The aroma of coffee is emanating at this moment.

------------------- a bit of a Carven dividing line-----------------------------

Time is the element of justice in the world, and it does not give anyone an extra minute or second, nor does it steal a single thing from anyone.

It's been four days since the last murder.

During these four days, the nerves of the members of the BAU team and the officers of the police station were tense at all times. They answer the phone almost all the time and record all kinds of information. For example, a 65-year-old named Aisha Stone called the day after the hotline was opened and told the police officer who answered the phone that she had seen her neighbor sneaking two boxes into her home the other day, which she thought must be the two human bodies mentioned on TV. The police officer who answered the phone at that time felt super lucky that he had actually encountered such a powerful clue. He immediately drove the police car to Elsa's neighbor's house to investigate, and found that the two boxes contained a dollhouse assembled for children to play with.

This happens all the time, but the police officers dare not ignore this information. Who knows when one of these will be useful?

Everyone is gritting their teeth and holding on.

But four days have passed, and there have been no murders or reports of missing persons.

It's as if it suddenly disappeared from the world.

Hodge was anxious, but his face was as good as an iceberg. He was afraid that the suspect would suddenly lurk, and if so, the chances of them trying to catch the suspect with the available intelligence were close to zero.

"Dididi~"

Hodge's cell phone rang.

He answered the phone, and Garcia's voice came from inside.

"Sir, I think I've found an important clue that could disrupt the basis of our psychological analysis of the suspect!"

There was a brief pause in Hodge's breathing.

He hurriedly called all the BAU team members into the conference room.

"Garcia, I put you in outgoing mode, you can say it now. ”

Garcia sent the files from his computer to the phones of the BAU team members.

"I set up my computer to search for all the keywords that appeared on the murder site, and this morning, a report just came out. As an IT person at BAU for almost 10 years, I still learned something. So, when I read this report, it seems that the cornerstone of our analysis is off, so I'm sending it to your phone now, so you can take a closer look. Garcia-Out ~"

Everyone turned on their phones.

A CNN news article appeared in front of everyone.

Anderson Lopez's Revenge Messenger

Author, Jacob Stanford.

All the dust can only temporarily hide the truth.

When the breeze blows, when the raindrops fall, when the sun shines.

Darkness is only temporary, after all.

The good light will bloom in the end.
