Chapter 249: The King and His Castle

In less than half an hour, everyone from BAU arrived, and at this time, the ambulance had just taken Angela Miller, and everyone was shocked to see Jiejie with gauze on her face.

How important looks are to a woman, Emily, who is also a woman, naturally knows best, but she persuaded for a long time, but Jiejie still refused to go to the hospital first.

"I'm the only one who's ever seen the murderer." That's why she's doing it.

Jack didn't persuade him to erase the scars or anything, it was a trivial thing that could be easily solved for him.

"At least take care of the wound first, don't worry, I know the best plastic surgeon in Hollywood, and I'll introduce you to him when I get back, Jiejie, you are the liaison officer who represents the external image of our action team."

Rosie also agrees with letting Jiejie seek medical attention first.

Hodgner hung up the phone and said with a straight face: "This is an order, there is a good plastic surgery clinic in the city, the sheriff will send a police officer to take you there, and there will be a sketcher with you, so it won't take too much time." ”

Even Red was concerned, "We found some tapes in Francis's former residence, and more clues are expected to be found here, no matter who his accomplice is, we will definitely catch him." ”

Seeing that everyone was so persistent, Jie Jie reluctantly followed a police officer into the car.

The middle-aged white police officer in a cowboy hat that Jack had seen in front of the grocery store was the sheriff of the place, and he arrived almost at the same time as the BAU group.

Seeing Jack, the sheriff took the initiative to step forward and shake his hand, "I have sent someone to take the Miller father and son to the hospital, thank you and Agent Jean for their efforts to save this family." ”

Then he said to Hodchner, "I've informed that a roadblock has been set up within a 40-mile radius, but there are so many trails nearby that locals can easily get around." ”

"Sheriff, we need to find a way to get into the house." Hodchner set his sights on the farm's large log cabin.

"I've urged you to let you in after the EOD personnel have checked it, but there should be nothing wrong with the small houses around, you can search them first."

It may be that the arrival of the FBIs did play a role, and the sheriff's attitude appeared to be extraordinarily cooperative.

"We need to find as much information as possible to help with psychological profiling." Hodgner took over the command quite naturally.

Including the sheriff, everyone split up.

Jack and Rosie opened the door to the tool room together.

"It's well organized, all the tools are on the shelves, and it's as clean as possible."

Rosie wiped it with her fingers on the shabby table, which wasn't too dusty.

"Obsessive-compulsive disorder or cleanliness?"

Jack notices an iron cabinet with a combination lock ajar, and when he opens it, he finds it to be a typical gun cabinet.

The left side is divided into several layers, scattered with some gun maintenance tools, and a few boxes of bullets of different calibers, all of which have been unpacked, and there are not a few rounds left, and the right side is the gun rack, but the top is empty.

"Ahh Rosie let out an indecipherable exclamation.

It didn't take long for everyone to meet again in front of the cabin, where two explosion-proof specialists, dressed like astronauts, were taking off their heavy gear.

"The gun rack is empty, and the guy has all the guns with him." Rosie exclaimed.

Jack showed off the bullets he found in the gun cabinet, "The 7.62X51mm NATO bullet should be the rifle that almost hit Jiejie, and there are deer cartridge casings here, and that guy has at least one shotgun." ”

Hodchner inspected the smashed garage and "I found two pairs of men's shoes of different sizes. ”

"The person below reported that no suspicious vehicles were found, and I suspect he listened to the police radio."

The sheriff hung up the phone in his hand, looking unhappy.

"We're going to turn the channel to the state geological survey band, and no one will listen to that band."

"Hey, guys, come here." Emily, who had been wandering around the flower beds, stopped the group as they were about to search the cabin.

"There were three more victims before Angela Miller, right?" Emily pointed to the rose bushes in the flower garden.

"There are three roses of different heights and different growths, and this one is the latest and even has a label on it."

"Three victims?" Hodgner nodded.

Red crouched down next to a rose, looked closely, and reached out to pull it up, and several gray-black beetles crawled out of the turned dirt.

The faces of everyone present suddenly became very ugly, "The burial worm is the same as the one in the cemetery." ”

"Sergeant, I think we need some shovels." Hodchner's face became very gloomy.

As the sheriff directs his men to begin exhuming the body, Garcia's phone calls.

Previously, Rossi and Red found some old home video tapes at the former residence of the murderer Francis, and Garcia has worked with local technicians to sort them all out, digitize them, and send them over.

There is not much valuable content in it, and Garcia is very thoughtful to note it one by one according to the degree of importance.

Rosie opens the first video file and plays it for everyone to see.

A shaky and blurry image appears of Francis Goering sitting by the window in a large chair, looking down at the direction of the camera, saying something of unknown significance.

"He deliberately shot from a low angle to make himself appear high up, and the chair was like his throne, which was funny."

As soon as Rhett finished speaking, Emily shushed him and signaled him to be quiet.

"The existence of a nation is inherently based on inequality between people."

"Martin Luther said that the weak will eventually submit to the strong, and just like me, he was a man of dreams and vision."

"In feudal times, the monarch lived on high places, kept an eye on the invaders, he had servants to serve his kingdom, the monarch did not need to leave his castle, the servants would give him everything!"

Jack was confused, Martin Luther was the founder of Protestantism, this thing should be talking about Luther Martin, right? One of the founding fathers of the United States was instrumental in the Bill of Rights, the constitutional amendments to Articles 1 to 10.

These constitutional amendments contain some of the provisions that some people have touted, such as freedom of assembly, freedom to carry guns, non-double criminality, etc., but they don't fit with what this guy is talking about.

"It was Luther Martin, who supported slavery, who believed that owning slaves was his right as an American, and who was also opposed to the federal supremacy over the states."

The Anthropomorphic Encyclopedia Dr. Red saw Jack's confusion and whispered a little for him.

"How many of these tapes have you found? Eleven plates? Garcia is so pathetic to tidy up all this garbage," Emily looked at all over her body.

Rosie followed her example and shushed her, causing Emily to roll her eyes.

Francis in the video is still talking, with an excited expression and an impassioned tone.

"First of all, I'm going to build an organization, a kingdom."

"Secondly, I will build up arms to defend this kingdom."

"Third, it is my right to serve women as slaves, and as a free American, I will make my kingdom a reality!"

Rossi opened the other video files one by one, and the content was much the same, full of the whispers of a mentally ill person.

Jack remembered that in his previous life, after the founding of the country, the "emperors" who were exterminated by the police station seemed to have some similarities with this Francis Goering.

"Let's go, let's see the castle of this 'king'."

Rosie sighed, closed the tablet, and led the group into the cabin.
