>> Love is destined, we can't find the true meaning of life alone, we need to be with the people we love.

Now that she went back to see him, it wouldn't be more useful to him than the magic array she had left in the secret room before. But she was married, and as a mentor who held an important place in her life, he should have been an important role to be invited to her wedding. But now, he is completely unconscious, absent from her wedding, and can't watch her go to happiness with his own eyes. It was already a disservice, and she couldn't stop telling him the news in person, even if he didn't hear anything. Yes, she must go back to the old mansion to meet her mentor.

By the time Red arrived at the BAU office, night had already fallen, and Hodge and Morgan briefly expressed their joy at his return to the team. Subsequently, the three of them quickly moved on to the topic and effectively analyzed the limited resources at hand on the case. Taking advantage of the discussion, he sent a text message to Liu Fanxu explaining that he would work overtime until late at night, asking her to take care of herself, and seeing her chattering reply, he put away his phone with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Looking at the case file in his hand, his brows furrowed, because some details of the modus operandi had not yet been determined, so they could not improve the portrait for the time being, and they could not lock the scope of suspicion for the time being.

The case seems to have reached a bottleneck, and unless the murderer does it again, there will be no new progress. It was a paradoxical situation, on the one hand, they wanted to be able to catch the murderer as much as possible, but on the other hand, they did not want to see new innocent people victimized. They were silent, and with a heavy heart, they looked over and over again the autopsy report in hand, the pictures of the murder scene, and the information of the innocent girls who were strangled to death, hoping to find new clues from them. Suddenly, Red stood up and walked to a billboard, erased the messy words and phrases scribbled on it, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed Liu Fanxu's number.

As soon as Liu Fanxu came out of the potions room, she heard the mobile phone ringing and remembered, she quickly took the mobile phone, saw that the caller was Red, and immediately connected the phone: "Hi, Spencer." Red tilted his head to hold his phone, flipped out a map of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the table, unfolded it and pasted it on the board, and when he heard Liu Fanxu's voice, he spoke very quickly, "Hi, Aga, do you remember the practical application of geographic profiling?" Like Rhett, Liu Fanxu tilted her head and held her mobile phone, she walked to the desk, pulled out a map from the drawer, unfolded it and spread it on the table. ”

Red grabbed a few whiteboard markers of different colors from the table, walked quickly to the kanban, and then Liu Fanxu's words continued, "Yes, so the fixed activity point of the criminal is between two concentric circles centered on the scene" The whiteboard marker in his hand flew rapidly on the map, Hodge and Morgan also put down the file in their hands at this time, walked to him, and looked at the several concentric circles that gradually appeared under his hand and their intersection area, Red held the mobile phone and did not notice their approach, but continued to say to Liu Fanxu" The small circle is the area where it is impossible to commit crimes" She picked up the map, walked to the couch and sat down, spread the map up to her lap and said, "The buffer zone, that is not the fixed point of activity of criminals, the intersection area between multiple large circles is the most likely fixed point of activity of criminals. Red quickly said, "So the fixed point of activity of the unknown suspect is still in Blue Ridge." ”

Liu Fanxu's fingertips stopped on the Blue Ridge Mountains on the map, and suddenly asked, "Spencer, is it possible that the murderer lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains, he may be a hunter or a staff there." Rhett clutched his forehead and turned to face Hodge and Morgan, "Yes, wantonly looking for targets on 200,000 acres, he made Blue Ridge Parkway his back garden because he was the staff there. The unknown suspect approached them in a friendly manner, took them away from the original route, and took the initiative to go to the scene of the crime with the murderer, and then the unknown suspect strangled them there. This would explain why the girls didn't resist and walked with him to the crime scene. Because they trust him, or rather trust him for who he is. Hodge said, "Not law enforcement officers. Morgan nodded, "The police don't just bury the body face down two feet below. Hodge looked at Rhett, "Forest Service staff can easily get in and out of there. ”

Hodge nodded at Red, turned and walked briskly to the computer, looking up the list of staff in the wooded area. Red tossed the whiteboard marker onto the table, picked up his phone, and followed him to stand behind him. Liu Fanxu hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask, "Spencer, you just said that the bodies were buried face down?" Red frowned and replied, "Yes, the murderer did not dare to look their faces in the face after strangling them, which is a form of repentance." She pursed her lips and continued, "I mean, you mentioned that murderers often come back to the scene of the crime to reminisce about the thrill of killing, so I think there's maybe another possibility. In some national myths, such as Native American mythology, burying the body face down can trap the soul of the deceased so that it does not return to the sun to take revenge on the murderer. Red frowned and said slowly, "I don't know about this, that is, the murderer is likely to have been influenced by Indian culture?" Liu Fanxu shook his head, "I don't know, I just have such a guess." ”

Hodge looked sideways at Morgan and said, "We need to cross-check the list of witnesses that the police have questioned since the incident." Morgan nodded, "There is a plan and rationality, he will participate in the investigation of the case in order to control the situation." He suddenly looked at Rhett, who was frowning and thinking, compared his thumb behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Hi, Rhett, do you remember the name of the technical analyst who just came to our department?" Red blinked in confusion, then pouted and spread his hands, "No, it's probably called Gavia?" Liu Fanxu chuckled and asked rhetorically, "What?" Gavia? What Gavia? Red shook his head, realizing that Liu Fanxu couldn't see it, and hurriedly added, "It's nothing, Aga, are you okay?" He looked up at his watch, "Hey, it's two o'clock in the morning, I should have let you rest earlier." ”

Liu Fanxu threw the map on the tea table, pulled over a soft pillow to cushion it, and lay down, before he spoke, "No, I can't sleep, hi, Spencer, have you eaten?" Red frowned and hesitantly replied, "I forgot about it." "Can you order takeout there?" She asked with a smile on her face, glancing at the time. Red smiled and replied, "Yes." Liu Fanxu immediately got up, walked to the landline at home, dialed the phone, and ordered four takeaways for them. Red habitually frowned and asked, "Why four?" She chuckled, "You mentioned a new colleague just now, and although you misremember her name, it seems that she will help you a lot." Red nodded, smiled and replied, "Maybe you're right, Aga." She blinked and said mischievously, "Okay, Spencer, I won't bother you, finish work early to rest early, I hung up the phone, love you!" Without waiting for Red to answer, she immediately cut off her phone. Red looked down at his phone, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't be erased.

Morgan stood next to Rhett, Garcia, and now Rhett knew that this new colleague who was sitting in front of the computer to help them cross-check the list was called Penelote Garcia. Morgan suddenly leaned sideways into Red's ear and whispered, "Hey, Red, do you need to talk?" He had a wicked 'I see through you' smirk on his face, "About Aga? Red pursed his lips and replied with a forced sting, "It's indeed a good thing, for you, Aga ordered takeout, and we won't have to go hungry and work overtime for a while." The tightness on Hodge's face had eased when he looked at Red, and he said with an imperceptible smile, "Help me convey my gratitude." Red nodded, "I will." ”

Liu Fanxu hung up the phone, looked down at the phone screen, and determined the time. Then she walked briskly to her desk and pulled out a plain red solid wood box from a drawer. Opened it, a magnolia pendant carved from agarwood lay on the black velvet cushion. Her fingertips hesitated, but finally she took it out of the box and clenched it little by little. The original ordinary pendant suddenly glowed with golden light, Liu Fanxu felt as if her navel was hooked by a hook, and in an instant her eyes were no longer her and Red's home, but the huge study room located in the old mansion. She stood in front of her desk, looked around at the roof-high bookshelves, and slowly fell to the mural behind the desk, a huge map of the landscape and veins, with a black dot in its most inconspicuous place. She walked quickly around the desk, raised her hand and was about to touch the black spot, when suddenly the sound of air bursting sounded around her, she slowly turned around, lowered her eyes and looked at the person, it was her house-elf Emma, a meek and well-behaved good child.

Emma did not look up into Liu Fanxu's eyes, but bowed deeply and humbly, expressing her supreme respect. Liu Fanxu nodded and commanded in a low voice, "Emma, don't tell them that I'm back, I'll leave soon." Emma raised her head when she heard her master's command, and her eyes the size of a light bulb flashed with tears, and she choked up and replied, "Yes, master." However, Emma Emma really can't go to see the master? Liu Fanxu couldn't bear to pull down her eyelashes, Emma is not old, it can be said that she was born and grew up with her, and she was her only partner in childhood, for Liu Fanxu, Emma is not only her exclusive house-elf, Emma is a companion who will never back her back.
