Teacher?

This title made everyone else on the first floor look at Catherine.

Catherine beckoned to a few people in a friendly manner and introduced herself, "My name is Catherine, I now work in the Abnormal Cases Investigation Bureau, and I used to teach the Criminal Minds course at Daystar Academy. ”

At Daystar, any teacher will be impressed by Lu Xiang, and Catherine is no exception.

"It's a shame that you didn't transfer to our department after graduation, and I've been talking about this to the director before...... But I've heard that your work is going well in the 17th District, which was previously known as a paradise for criminals. ”

In the border city, the entire justice system is firmly controlled by the Foster family, and every aspect is a suitable breeding ground for crime.

"Well, I submitted my application, but it was denied."

Lu Xiang said lightly, she had long been relieved about this, and she was even more glad that she was finally transferred to District 17.

"It's conservative people, mainly the Iris Consortium."

Catherine didn't shy away from the topic, "On the one hand, they want the bureau to recruit some trustworthy people, and on the other hand, I heard that you didn't seem to get along well with the eldest lady of the consortium when you were in school. ”

And the person who replaced Lu Xiang and was recruited by the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau was Hannah, the "second in ten thousand years" of that year.

Although he is inferior to Lu Xiang in all aspects, he is better than "pure blood", his parents are members of the conservative faction, and his grandfather once served in the council.

"Unfortunately, this is the reality, and a word from the Iris Consortium is sometimes much more important than school grades, after all, the Bureau of Abnormal Cases has always been backed by conservative ......"

"I know, Miss Catherine, I didn't take it to heart."

Lu Xiang had to show his attitude.

Catherine smiled, "I'm just a little sorry that the Bureau of Anomalous Cases needs someone like you. ”

This is what she said in her heart, but unfortunately her position is not enough to fight against her superiors, and she does not have the power to personally select new people.

The big family is stuck in the recruitment criteria very much, and it is not something that they "outsiders" can get used to.

Lately the truth seems to be becoming less and less valuable, and everyone is only thinking about their own lack of responsibility.

"Sometimes I really miss teaching at Daystar, where it's possible to have a serious discussion about the case."

"Teacher, has something happened to you?"

Lu Xiang asked.

This is a dangerous remark, especially from the mouth of a senior official of the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau, and if it is recorded and posted on the Internet by someone with a good intention, it is estimated that it will cause a lot of turmoil.

"There were three murders in two days, and a national-level rescuer died, but the top wanted a group of non-governmental people to take the blame."

Catherine sat down on the couch to herself.

Looking at Lu Xiang made her involuntarily recall the old days, she was very happy to talk about cases with this little girl who always had wonderful ideas, and even Lu Xiang's thoughts on some unsolved cases could inspire her.

"Isn't it?"

Lu Xiang deliberately pretended to be confused, "The surveillance has captured that a killer has infiltrated the villa, and the security system has also been hacked." ”

In fact, she has always been happy to discuss the case, it is like a puzzle game to her, and she has never held a grudge against Teacher Catherine for the refusal of the Anomalous Investigation Bureau, although the latter has advised her more than once during her teaching to work in the Investigation Bureau.

But the biggest problem now is that the killer is in the same room as them, and it is even possible that he will be directly involved in the rest of the discussion.

"Is this what you really think, or are you gambling with the teacher?"

Catherine shook her head helplessly, "So, let's assume that the murderer is a civilian organization killer filmed by surveillance, what is their purpose in doing this?" ”

"Being famous, or assassinating someone with a specific identity."

"Then there's a key thing missing from the scene."

"Imprint."

Lu Xiang blurted out, "Most of these murderers will leave their mark at the scene, either a pattern or a specific killing method." ”

"I'm glad you haven't given me back everything you learned at the time."

Catherine smiled with satisfaction and said, "I've heard that there have been similar murders in District 17 before, and it takes a lot of effort to pierce people's chests, especially since the deceased is wearing an exoskeleton armor. ”

"Teacher, this is a violation of the confidentiality agreement."

Lu Xiang reminded the other party, "You should not disclose the details of the case to us unrelated people. ”

"According to the rules of the bureau, this is true, but if this case is investigated together with the Chai Ke case in District 17, you can become an expert hired by us."

Lu Xiang's attitude made Catherine curious.

Her students seemed reluctant to get involved in the case, "If the bureau's records were not wrong, the killer of Chai Ke would never have been found." ”

This is far from the Lu Xiang she knows.

In the past, in school, when dealing with those cases that had nothing to do with her, Lu Xiang always had to get to the bottom of it, and she would sometimes spend a whole night thinking about the details of the case, until she exhausted all clues and completely fell into a dead end.

Catherine saw Lu Xiang's attitude as she was angry with the Investigation Bureau.

After all, the rejection of the Investigation Bureau was a heavy blow to the chief student of that year, especially after being rejected by the Investigation Bureau, she was also reduced to a border city like the Seventeenth District that no one wanted to go to.

"Lu Xiang, do you remember what the teacher said to you? Human nature is hard to change. ”

Catherine continued, "For those serial killers, even if they disappear for a while due to outside pressure, sooner or later they will show their feet, and that is their nature, and they cannot resist the temptation of killing...... It's the same with you, you can't suppress your curiosity forever, solving crimes is what you really want to do. ”

"But not now."

Lu Xiang shook his head, "Now I want to ensure the safety of my subordinates." ”

Of course, this is a more official statement.

The actual reason is that the Fourth District is full of lights, and there is a Silly Bird who got carried away on the phone on the first day of coming to the Fourth District, and said that she was a broom star.

You have to teach it well.

What's more, as long as you stay by this dumb bird, the case will come to the door on its own initiative.

"I see."

After Catherine's gaze shifted back and forth between Lu Xiang and Song Lan a few times, she didn't bother anymore and transferred her electronic business card to the other party, "This is my personal contact information, if you change your mind, you can contact me at any time." ”

With that, she left the villa and returned to the hovercar, leaving them with a dashing back.

"Director, is this really good?"

After Catherine left, Zhuang Chicai whispered, "Your teacher is a high-ranking official of the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau, if you can solve this case, maybe she can recommend you to work in the Investigation Bureau." ”

Zhuang Chi also felt that with the ability of the supervisor, it was really useless to stay in the seventeenth district.

The cases they usually encounter are basically straightforward gang fights and revenge killings, and they basically don't need the knowledge of criminal psychology, and even rough men like Captain Doug can be fully qualified for criminal investigation work.

Lu Xiang glanced at her, "Who said I was going to work in the Investigation Bureau?" ”

“…… It is spread like this in the ministry and department. ”

Zhuang Chi shrunk his neck and quietly threw the black pot out.

They all remembered the scene when Lu Xiang came to work on the first day, when the supervisor's face was so cold that it seemed to freeze a layer of ice flowers out of the windows of the department, and it was not until later that when the supervisor went to inspect the work of the logistics department, he began to gradually integrate into the life of the 17th district for some unknown reasons.

"Don't just think about some catch-up remarks, if the murderer can easily kill a five-star rescuer, what makes you think that you won't be killed by the murderer in the course of the investigation?"

“…… Yes, it's Roger. ”

"Roger?"

"Roger said he practiced a new nirvana that should keep us safe."

"Alright, take the case to the Bureau of Investigation."

Lu Xiang helplessly supported his forehead, "You stay in the villa with peace of mind, I still have something to say to Song Lan." ”

As she spoke, she gave Song Lan a look, and the latter immediately followed her upstairs with understanding, leaving only a few people on the first floor looking at each other.

The two returned to the guest room arranged by Shaw Grant for Song Lan one after another, and Lu Xiang, who was following behind, locked the door as soon as he entered, making the atmosphere of the whole room suddenly become anxious.

Song Lan's heart tightened.

Compared to the recent cases in the Fourth District, he is facing a more serious crisis at the moment.

Not long ago, he spoke wildly over the phone, and now, Lu Xiang directly booked a ticket and chased after the fourth district.

The director is really a man of action.

Faced with Lu Xiang, who was walking towards him step by step, he decided to follow the slogan hanging high in the law enforcement department of the 17th District - leniency in confession, strict in resistance.

"Director, I think this is a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Are you referring to a hole in Black Sand's chest, or are you saying on the phone that I'm a broom star? ”

"Phone."

Song Lan replied immediately.

He never thought there was any misunderstanding about Black Sand's death, he was the only one who saw through the truth.

"Black Sand" apparently slipped while inviting him to experience the family hot spring together, and unfortunately fell and broke his chest.

Where there is a lot of moisture, it is easy to slip on your feet, and falling on your heels in hot springs is not a new thing.

The phone calls involve some sophisticated electronic equipment, and the possibility of misunderstanding is very high.

"Then tell me, what misunderstanding can there be on the phone?"

Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows.

"We made long-distance calls that day, and this long-distance phone call, when it is far away, it is easy to have a bad signal, and sometimes it will inevitably produce some noises, which are ...... from a scientific point of view."

"What's wrong with these noises?"

"Report Director, I can't make it up."

Song Lan chose to accept her fate, as the saying goes, a true brave man dares to face a bleak life.

"Then sit down."

Lu Xiang pointed to the side of the bed and asked Song Lan to sit on it.

She didn't expect Teacher Catherine to come to her door, which did disrupt her plan to ask for guilt to a certain extent.

One thing the teacher is right about is that human nature is really hard to change.

"Now it's time for the interrogation."

Lu Xiang cleared her throat, and now sitting across from her was a serial murderer who had committed a series of homicides, which also met the definition of this type of person in many criminal psychology.

"First question, why do you always use the breast-piercing method?"

This has almost become Song Lan's most iconic method, and Lu Xiang knows very well that as long as he wants, he can completely make the corpse disappear without a trace, until the filming of "Rescuer Master" is over, and the group leaves the fourth district, and no one can find the body of "Black Sand".

But he chose a flamboyant way.

Let Black Sand collapse in his own family's hot springs, still wearing the exoskeleton armor he is proud of.

"Generally speaking, the murderer uses the same killing method to send some message, and some people want to see themselves famous, and see their murders on TV and in the newspapers being talked about, which can greatly satisfy the needs of their narcissistic personality; There are also people who try to mock local law enforcement and present these cases as a manifestation of the incompetence of local law enforcement, so what about you? ”

Before this, Lu Xiang had never really profiled Song Lan, and just now, she suddenly realized that this seemed to help her enter Song Lan's inner world.

“…… Maybe it will make them less painful for a while? ”

Song Lan had never conducted a self-analysis, and replied in an uncertain tone.

For him, this question is actually no different from "why do you eat with chopsticks".

But he can confirm one thing, "I didn't think about getting a message through them. ”

The passing of a life also means that sin or friendship is coming to an end.

"That is, you're not sure."

Lu Xiang's expression was a little subtle, she seemed to realize something, and then asked, "So, what did you feel when your hand passed through their chest?" Some people feel the power of killing, and the process of taking away their lives makes them feel like they are playing the role of a god, and they become obsessed with this feeling. ”

"I don't feel it."

Song Lan pondered for a moment and said.

There is neither sadness nor joy, it is like wiping the corners of your mouth with a tissue after eating, which means that one thing is over.

"I see."

Lu Xiang nodded, and she didn't continue to ask.

"What were the results of the test?"

Regarding Song Lan's question, Lu Xiang did not answer directly, but said, "Teacher Catherine mentioned a serial killer when talking about a case before, he is one of the most cunning criminals the Investigation Bureau has ever encountered, in order to catch him, the Investigation Bureau paid a lot of price, and after being arrested, Teacher Catherine also asked the same thing." ”

"What did he say?"

"His answer is the same as yours."

Lu Xiang said, "'It's like eating and drinking, nothing special' is his exact words, and when he was arrested, he had already carried hundreds of lives." ”

The small theater of its one hundred and eighty-six:

Sunday, evening, month, year, month, Sunday.

In order to understand the cry of the fox, Lu Xiang downloaded many short videos about the fox on his tablet, and also consulted the head of the pet-type android department of Tesla Technology about this question.

After an afternoon of study, she fully understood the habits of foxes.

For this, Song Lan's arm paid a heavy price.

Up to now, he has been holding Lu Xiang for more than an hour - since turning on the TV, Lu Xiang has been nesting on him, putting the weight of his body on his arm.

Finally, Song Lan couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you go to learn the cry of a fox?" What's going on here? ”

"According to the data, foxes are very clingy little creatures, and they are also very coquettish, and many pre-war folklore compared foxes to a symbol of charm."

Lu Xiang talked about the results of his afternoon's learning.

"So, you're learning the art of seduction?"

Song Lan was a little puzzled, he didn't have a clear feeling now except that his arm was a little numb.

"There are many ways to charm, and I chose the more scientific method."

“…… Science? ”

"Do you know how to hold someone the easiest?"

"I want to hear about it."

"Standing and hugging people is the most tiring, followed by sitting."

Lu Xiang said in a serious tone, "It's the easiest when both of you are lying in bed. ”
