However, the results of the examination of trace physical evidence are not yet available, because it is winter, and the typical traces of insects and pollen are very rare.

The crime lab is analyzing the residual dirt composition in the tire pattern of the vehicle, comparing environmental samples to try to map the route of the victim's vehicle, but this will take a long time.

According to the murderer's law of crime, the next action should be within two or three days, and there may even be a victim, but no family members have reported the disappearance.

Around noon, a group of local police officers, summoned by their sheriff, gathered at the police station office to nibble on the doughnuts brought back by Jack and Emily while listening to the case analysis and psychological profiles of the killer by the members of the BAU team.

There are a few guys who are clever enough to be promoted to police detective as their career plan, and even have paper and pen ready, looking like a good student, after all, not every small police station has the opportunity to welcome the help of the FBI team of psychological profilers.

The first is Hodchner: "Jonathan and Rebecca Gaulen, the couple who were last killed, according to their family, were on vacation near the city of Reno last weekend, after which they were preparing to go home and plan to find a place to spend the night along the road. ”

Red scratched his hand across the map, "Following their route home, it's likely to pass through the Sherwood area where the Corbyns were last seen." ”

"They haven't used their credit cards since they left Renault, and unless they're carrying a lot of cash, the place to stay is certainly not expensive."

"Coupled with the murderer's modus operandi, when he commits violence, he needs enough privacy space and a lot of private time, which allows us to eliminate more than half of the area for the time being."

Hearing this, Sergeant Bruner, the oldest and most experienced in the local police department, was thoughtful.

"So, the murderer we're looking for is likely to be a guy who works the night shift at a motel near Sherwood, on the side of a remote mountain road?"

"And we don't think he's too young, about 30 to 35 years old." Rhett added.

"Why do you say that?" Sheriff Bruna was a little confused.

"Kidnapping a couple at the same time without saying anything is a difficult thing to plan ahead of, and the killer needs to have enough time to perfect the skills he has mastered. ”

The sheriff seemed to think that the young man's reasoning was too arbitrary, and made a slight gesture, "Then he may be older." ”

"Don't dwell on the age of the murderer, it's the hardest thing to predict, Dr. Red is just guessing from a probability point of view."

"All of the female victims were assaulted and violence was inflicted, indicating that the killer was an abusive offender." ”

With that, he looked at Jack.

Knowing that his quiz had started again, Jack answered the teacher's questions honestly.

"A sadist needs to be satisfied by abusing and observing the victim's tragic condition, including psychological abuse, and this is probably the reason why the murderer only targets the husband and wife."

Jack paused and said the reason why many people present were vaguely aware of it, but did not dare to think deeply.

"He would persecute his husband and witness the scene of his wife being punished by Qin."

Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, the faces of the police officers present, including Sergeant Bruner, became a little unnatural.

Emily ignored the whispers of the crowd and completed a psychological profile of the murderer based on Jack's deduction.

"The killer is most likely extremely misogynistic, which comes from the cruel physical and mental harm done to him by a woman, most likely his mother or stepmother."

"He may have witnessed the other party's cheating or similar behavior more than once, and growing up in this environment, he may have never been in a relationship, let alone married."

The officers, including Sergeant Bruner, nodded their heads frequently.

"We're looking into the area around Sherwood where there have been people with a history of crimes against women, but it's going to take time, and we're running out of time, and there's a good chance that the killer will do it again in two or three days."

"But we can't conduct a large-scale investigation, and even if we ask in the name of investigating the missing person, it may alarm the killer and cause him to change his modus operandi or even disappear."

After Hodchner finished speaking, he looked at the male policeman in front of him, frowned, and continued.

"We have sent a request for help to the surrounding police stations and have sent some police officers here, mainly women, who will arrive tonight and tomorrow."

"Dr. Red has screened more than 30 motels near Sherwood on remote roads, all of which employ fewer than five people, and these police officers will be pretending to be husband and wife for the next few days, posing as tourists to stay at these hotels at night."

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the policemen, Hodchner interrupted their peachy fantasies with a poker face.

"You have to understand that this is a very dangerous job, and we don't know how the killer used to control the four couples silently, although the autopsy report did not find drugs in their bodies, but the risk is still very high."

"Everyone will only be able to carry a concealed pistol, considering that the murderer's Qin target is a woman, and the man who pretends to be her husband is the priority to be subdued, you must protect yourself and your partner at the same time."

"This is not some romantic 007 mission, you must always be vigilant, do not let the murderer notice anything unusual, we only accept police officers who have undercover experience or have undergone relevant training to sign up."

Sheriff Bruner stood up, called a series of names, and then adjourned the meeting.

The trick of pretending to be a husband and wife tourist staying in a motel was discussed by the BAU people, and after trying to narrow down the suspicion, a thorny question was put in front of everyone.

When the murderer is found, how to crucify the evidence and the murderer?

No DNA evidence was found on the victim's body, and even if the location of the crime was found, if no evidence was found that could directly link the murderer, the first case after the BAU team was officially established would not be perfect.

Because this case involves a cross-state crime, once the murderer is caught, he will inevitably face a trial in federal court, and the FBI will be involved in the whole process.

So when Hodgner, the former prosecutor, raised the point, Rossi naturally turned his attention to Jack, and the two of them smiled tacitly at the same time.

After all, there is no one here who is more experienced than Jack, just a strong X criminal, where can he compare to the ogre of New Mexico.

Don't say I'm copying the plot anymore.,Haha.,I'm so bad that my head is about to explode.,Ask for a monthly pass!
