"Pay attention to his face and arms." Red pointed to the corpse's face.

"Scratches and bite marks, typical defensive injuries, and I'm sure the forensic team will be able to find the DNA on Katie's body."

Rosie whispered a reenactment of the scene, "Things got out of control, and seeing the atrocities of his companions, he wanted to quit, but the rest of the people wouldn't agree. ”

Hodchner continued, "He tried to escape, was stabbed by his accomplices, it was too dark outside, they couldn't find him. ”

"Fearing that he would call the police, they stuffed Katie's body into a car, did something to erase the traces, abandoned it farther away, and forcibly took Lindsay in order to secure an escape."

Emily's calm tone hid anger.

Jack glanced around again, found no more clues, and sighed, "He's one of the killers, what we need to do is keep finding his friends." ”

John on the side saw that a few people reappeared at the scene in a few words, and it sounded very reasonable, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "You guys. Is this how you usually solve cases? ”

"They. Belch. We are all professional psychologists. Jack tapped him on the shoulder.

John showed an expression of "I don't read much, don't fool me".

Jack picked up his phone and took a picture of the corpse's face and sent it to Garcia, attaching a message asking her to do facial recognition and compare the database of the school Katie and Lindsay attended.

Saying goodbye to the old guys at the Wilshire Police Department, BAU and his party immediately rushed back to the Southeast District Bureau, they needed to race against time, and it was impossible to wait for the forensic team or the forensic doctor to slowly produce the results.

Fortunately, Garcia was quite powerful this time, and as soon as she got out of the car, she found out the identity of the deceased and suspect.

"Douglas Silverman, 18, attended a high school with two girls." Jack taps a new photo to the evidence board.

The sergeant of the Southeast District Bureau and his detectives crowded into the huge office to listen to Hodgner and Rossi plan their next mission.

"The impulsive instincts of adolescent males, in this case, were further exacerbated by DU and alcohol, making them more ferocious, impulsive, and reckless than adult thugs."

"Katie became the victim of a combination of all these factors, and we believe that this Douglas Silverman, who was terrified and wanted to quit, but the dominant ones attacked him in order to assert their authority."

Hodgner synthesized the discussions and analyses along the way to a common opinion.

"Your task is to find his classmates, parents, teachers, and find out the fox friends who usually hang out with him."

Rossi went on to add his analysis, "He had at least two or three other accomplices, and the dominant one was supposed to be in his early 20s, a self-righteous villain." ”

"I think I'm very bad, I may have a criminal record, some misdemeanors, petty theft and so on."

"I have a question." Hannah asked, "If this Douglas Silverman was killed by his companions shortly after Katie's death, he would have been missing for a day or two, so why didn't anyone call the police?" ”

Emily replied, "Because it's a weekend, he may have reported or his parents were out of town." ”

Hodgner's face darkened even more when he was reminded by this sentence, "Tomorrow the weekend is over, and according to the current situation, the next situation will be even worse." ”

That's right, as soon as the weekend is over, the identities of these suspects may be revealed, and the school will notify parents of students who are absent from school, and parents will report to the police because their children are missing.

And once their identities are revealed, it's chilling what these desperate teenagers will do to Lindsay, who is being held hostage.

"Let's talk to Mr. and Mrs. Owen and Kisson Vaughn first, since the deceased and their daughter were in the same school, maybe they know something." Jiejie suggested.

Rosie nodded, "You guys go and ask the Owens, Hodge and Emily to find the parents of the deceased Douglas Silverman, me and Jack."

As he spoke, he glanced at Kison Vaughn, who had been peering out through the glass in the conference room.

The two of us went to talk to him."

——

"So, a few thugs grabbed my daughter?" Kison Vaughn took the photo that Jack handed him over, and carefully identified the avatar on it.

"I don't know, I don't miss a face, but I've never seen this person." His tone was quite affirmative.

"Maybe she doesn't want you to see the boys, and she's afraid you'll be angry or do something to them." Rossi meant something.

Instead of being offended by Rosie's words, Kisson said in a categorical tone, "There are no secrets between Lindsay and me. ”

Jack saw a lot of leaky little padded jackets, and didn't believe his words at all, "You and I both know it's impossible, girls and fathers must have a lot of secrets about each other." ”

"No, you understand." Kitson has a look on his face that I don't know how to explain to you.

"She knows everything about me, she knows what I've done and why we're the way we are."

Rosie felt a little incredulous, and patiently reminded him, "Your wife died in a car accident ten years ago, wasn't it an accident?" That's what made you a federal witness, right? ”

Within the FBI, Rossi had much more authority than Hodchner, and Jack estimated that he must have consulted some relevant files before and knew something about Kitson's story.

Sure enough, Kisson neither admitted nor denied, "Before she died, I swore to her that I would do everything in my power to protect Lindsay." ”

"Did you tell Lindsay that it was you and not her mother who was sitting in the car?"

Rosie's heart-wrenching words made Kieson stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his details to be clearly felt, but he only paused for a moment, and then continued to nod unexpectedly.

"Yes."

Rosie and Jack both had stunned expressions on their faces.

"I told her, there are no secrets between us, and I told her that in the days to come, all we can rely on is each other."

"From the time she was 10 years old, I started training her, learning to fight, shooting, how to defend myself in extremely adverse conditions"

As Kitson narrates, Jack quickly sketches in his mind a super-killer image similar to the super-killer woman played by Chloe Grace Moretz in the movie "King Haibian".

Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, Lindsay really has to be as tough as a superkiller girl, and not be constrained by a few gangsters, but in terms of personality, she should be similar, precocious, strong and rational enough.

But it made Jack even more strange, "Since you said so, how could Lindsay still put herself in such a disadvantageous situation?" ”

"Yes, she won't." As Kitson answered confidently, a flash of realization flashed in Rossi's eyes.
