Chapter 252: The Last Madness
"How did you do that?" Walking out of the bar, Jiejie still has an incredulous face, these "militias" are notoriously hostile to them in the federal system.
And Jack not only asked that Harris Townsend to offer to help, but looking at the posture just now, he almost called him a brother.
On the contrary, it was the chubby bartender aunt who gave this guy a few more lingonberry pies when he went out, which is better understood, after all, he is a killer in the year.
"After all, I'm loved by everyone." Jack said with a grin.
In fact, it is quite easy to deal with these people, touting the local food, scolding the federation together, talking about the "mutual aid", "autonomy", and "small economy" they advocate, and appropriately expressing the complex emotions of being a member of the federation in the series of tragedies in the 90s.
What's more, their arrival did not cause any trouble to the local area, but did play a positive role, not only helping the police find the missing person, but also saving a victim, which gave Jack the moral high ground from the beginning.
So to put them in words, and at the same time to make a stand, to explain that although their BAU group belongs to the FBI, they usually only catch serial killers and other things that harm everyone, and do not participate in local and federal disputes.
These guys have not received much education, lack theoretical guidance, and even know little about eucalyptus, as long as they accompany them to vent their dissatisfaction and express sympathy in a subtle way, they can win their favor at once.
In his previous life, as a veteran keyboard warrior, Jack knew very well how to change his political Z-spectrum to attract people of different tendencies, of course, provided that he didn't talk too deeply, otherwise it was easy to backfire, after all, sometimes heretics are more hateful than heretics.
Seeing that Jack didn't mean to explain further, Jiejie didn't ask any further, but put down the visor in the passenger seat, borrowed the small mirror above, and gently touched the position of the gauze on her cheek.
"How? What do doctors say? Jack put a stack of packed local treats in the back seat, including lingonberry pie and several steaming steaks, and was now driving to the police station, where Rosie and the others were waiting for them.
"The doctor said he used the smallest cosmetic needle to do the subcutaneous stitches, but the wound was a bit deep, and it was difficult not to leave a scar."
Jiejie's expression looked a little uncomfortable, after all, she was a girl, how could she not love beauty.
"Leave it to me, as long as you keep it a secret from Emily, I guarantee you'll be as good as ever, and your skin will be as good as Hannah's, I know you've been secretly asking her for her skin." Jack said in a big way.
Jiejie didn't seem to be surprised, nor did she mean to be jealous.
"Is this a special treat to be one of your girlfriends? The young city councillor of the Anderson family and your beautiful professor are too young to speak. β
"Hannah said it was because they all tasted it."
"Squeak!" The steering wheel in Jack's hand slipped, and Saboban's massive body drew a not-so-obvious zigzag on the road.
"Hell, what did you all talk about that day?"
He thought he had corrected the whimsy in Hannah's little brain, didn't the two of them go to the Soviet-German negotiations after kicking themselves out of the car that day, how did they talk about this?
Although Jack certainly doesn't have as deep feelings for Jiejie as Hannah, he doesn't intend to pull out that ruthlessness, after all, this girl is a typical traditional type, and she is also very strong when she is serious.
Anyway, he is a weak, pitiful and helpless Poland, and now he is sandwiched between the two great powers of the Soviet Union and Germany, so be it, as long as it is not really divided in half in a physical sense.
"I know she's joking, but you're really mysterious and seem to be able to do anything, just like on that island, when everyone is terrified, you're the only one who is still confident and fearless."
Jie Jie paused when she said this, "I have never experienced this feeling, giving myself to a man without reservation, trusting him unconditionally, relying on him, believing that he can take me out of a desperate situation." β
"It doesn't match the education I received as a child, but it's a really good feeling, so I told myself to fight for it, even if it doesn't have to be good."
"So. The result? Jack Poland wanted to know what Sudmijori had written.
"Ask your Hannah sweetheart to go." Jiejie flew him with a roll of his eyes, and didn't say anything, but seemed to say everything.
Jack didn't ask anything more, just reached out and held her lightly, people are all exclusive and selfish creatures, how fortunate he is to make them willing to give like this.
As for BU's side, someone must have seen that after the plane crash, Emily intentionally or unintentionally preceded a "drawbridge effect" on the premise of herself and Jiejie, half out of temptation, but also a reminder.
Rosie is an old fox, I guess I guessed it a long time ago, but I didn't break it.
Hodchner was an old bureaucrat, and even if he didn't realize it, the two of them should have talked to each other as a precautionary measure, but apparently he didn't.
Since everyone is pretending to be stupid, Jack will not be stupid enough to puncture this layer of window paper, he really has a plug-in, and he can take care of many aspects without worrying about any bloody incidents.
The two drove back to the police station, and the feeding of the delivery man Jack made everyone very satisfied, which was very effective in calming everyone's depressed mood.
After all, as psychological profilers, they are more likely than ordinary people to reconstruct those cruel scenes in their brains, and it is difficult not to be touched, of course, they can also withdraw their emotions more easily, but it takes time.
The excellent quality steak and sweet and sour lingonberry pie revived everyone's mood, and a very local pickled beetroot was also popular, and Jack thought he could consider replicating it when he returned.
The murderer's accomplice has not yet been arrested, and everyone consciously gathered together after the meal and began to profile the unknown suspect together.
"He's a submissive partner, he's extremely dependent on Francis and has a lot of reverence, but now that Francis is dead, it's making him very dangerous."
Rossi began by elaborating his views.
"So, if we push him to the brink, he's likely to do the same thing as Francis." Emily made an explosive gesture.
Just then, Garcia's video call came in, and Jiejie transferred it to the computer.
"The tapes were all sorted out, they were all sent, I checked every frame, I didn't see his accomplices, he was only in charge of the camera."
Garcia's face was pale, as if he had just experienced the most terrible thing in his life.
"That's it, I've seen every creepy picture, and not even Jack's baby panda can't save me now."
"Uh, Garcia, there's a jar of blueberry jam at the bottom of the office fridge that we used for you to 'heal' when we're away." Jack was clearly prepared.
Garcia suddenly showed a pitiful expression, "Oh, baby, you make me so sad, Blueberry Jam is my boyfriend's favorite, not mine, you remember wrong." β
"Ahem~" Jack coughed lightly and looked at the others with some hesitation.
"That's not for you to eat, it's for you, when you go on a date tonight, use some and you'll get a cute puppy"
"Wow, that's a genius idea, you're really my confidant." Garcia regained his spirits almost instantly.
"Then I'll go on a date from work, and I'll take care of the rest." After saying that, she hung up the video directly.
"Why did Blueberry Jam make Garcia harvest a pet?" Dr. Red, a genius encyclopedia, also has a problem that he can't understand.
"It's better that you don't want to know." Emily shuddered as if something unclean appeared in front of her eyes.
Everyone looked at Jack as if they were looking at a strange alien creature, and they wanted to knock open his head to see what was inside, and why they had prepared such a strange "emergency supply" for Garcia.
"She's been a little overweight lately, and she can't always be relaxed by eating desserts," Jack explained dryly.
After a short joke, Jiejie opened the video, and everyone got together to analyze.
As Garcia said, the content of the video is bloody, terrifying, and creepy.
Francis in the picture is a pervert, excitedly using those torture instruments to brutally abuse the victim.
Everyone was silent, and the room was filled with the screams and pleadings of the victims coming out of the loudspeakers, and the clichΓ©s of the murderer.
Everyone insisted on fast-forwarding all the videos, trying to discard useless emotions and use rational thinking to analyze the information revealed in the videos.
"He only shoots Francis, and the camera rarely stays on the victim." Red spoke first, breaking the dead silence in the room.
Emily nodded in agreement, "He seems to care more about Francis than about the tortured victim." β
"Because he's a 'give'."
Jack's words explain the doubts in everyone's minds.
"Notice the language of the camera, the lens represents the position of his gaze, and the focus is almost all on Francis, as if he is in love with Francis's body."
Jiejie replayed a scene, and sure enough, in it, Francis was naked, blushing and chattering, but the camera skipped directly from the victim and stayed on him for a long time.
"So he tore those tapes not to destroy the evidence, but out of jealousy." Rosie suddenly realized.
"He saw Francis as his lover and willingly accepted his servitude, cleaned up his house, cleaned up, kidnapped girls, buried corpses, and planted roses."
Hodchner picked up his phone directly, "Those roses were bought, Emily even found a label on the latest rose bush, I immediately contacted the sheriff, I need to mobilize manpower to investigate all the nurseries that sell rose seedlings in the vicinity." β
The next morning, good news and bad news came at the same time, and Emily found out the identity of Francis's accomplice, Henry Foster, who worked in a gardening shop, and the owner of the shop provided his address.
Emily and Red immediately rush to the dilapidated RV where Henry Foster lives, but it's too late.
By the time they arrived, Henry Foster had already packed up his things and disappeared, while the local sheriff urgently contacted Hodchner, and another victim appeared.
Before 10 a.m., Henry Foster showed up at a gas station, kidnapped a young woman who was filling gas, forced her into the trunk at gunpoint, and drove away.
"I had just finished inspecting his residence, and he destroyed everything related to his identity, photographs, documents, all of them were thrown in the oven and burned clean, and the few photos he had were taken, and he also burned his face with cigarette butts, both in childhood and in adulthood."
Red and Emily rush to the gas station to meet up with the group, and report their findings to Rosie and Hodchner at great speed.
"Why?" Hodchner raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Henry Foster was on the weaker side of the relationship, not only following Francis's commands, but also trying to understand and accept the ideas and concepts that the other had instilled in him."
Red explained.
"So he destroyed everything in his past, which is a denial of his own personality."
At the same time, on the other side, the elderly female owner of the gas station was still carrying a shotgun in her hand, and she told Jiejie and the others with an angry face.
"I swear I could have shot, and no bastard has ever managed to mess with me."
"But I was afraid of hurting her, and I watched as the bastard stuffed her into the trunk while the car was blocked by a tanker as it turned."
"Well, I can imagine the scene, that bastard was so lucky."
While Jack agreed, he carefully took the shotgun that looked older than her from the aunt's hand and handed it to the police officer on the side.
"May I ask if this is the person you see?" Jiejie handed over a photograph, the only one they had so far had of Henry Foster, from a staff photo provided by the owner of the gardening shop.
"It's not." The answer of the owner of the aunt shopkeeper was a big surprise.
"Do you see his face clearly?" Jiejie asked suspiciously.
"Of course, come with me, I have surveillance in my store." The owner of the aunt shopkeeper led everyone into the sales area of the gas station very simply.
On the computer screen, a thin white man appeared with a bandage on his face, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the photograph, but instead of the blonde hair in the photo, he had brown hair and a mustache.
"He looks like Francis Goering!" Jie Jie was surprised.
"Or rather, Henry Foster's version of Francis." Rosie and Hodgner looked at each other, and they seemed to have the answer in their hearts.
"He just walked in, bought a beer and pumpkin seeds, and then went back to his car and sat in the brown pickup truck outside, and I thought something was wrong with this guy, so I got my guy ready."
The aunt shopkeeper was still talking, everyone looked at each other, and threw down Jack very unjustly, and turned around to leave, and Rhett, who was still a little stunned, was taken away by Hodchner's shoulder.
There have been very few reviews in the last few chapters, what's the quality? Personally, I feel that the writing is quite graphic.,The interaction is also interesting.,It seems that the feeling of code words is beginning to be smooth.γ
