On the fourth day, everyone's emotions began to become irritable, and even the faces of Hodchner and Rosie, who had always been calm, became very ugly.

Everyone knows that the murderer will not be hidden for long, but as long as it is not found out for a day, there may be several more corpses on the street at any time, and this hot feeling on the cheeks torments the nerves of every policeman.

Not only BAU, but also Boyt and his intelligence team, including the patrol officers of the 21st Precinct, had red eyes when they went out on patrol for the past two days, and everyone looked like suspects.

Everyone knows that this kind of emotion is dangerous, everyone's nerves are tensed, and at such times, it is very easy to misfire, well, in this country, it is often called excessive law enforcement.

Jack and Red were still researching the materials of the previous cases, rummaging through the gaps, but they were always like they were separated by an invisible membrane, and they couldn't find the flashing inspiration.

Emily says that her legs are thin, which both Jack and Red scoff, and that she and Jiejie are both women who can spend a day on Rodeo Drive, the most exclusive shopping street in Los Angeles, an experience that even Garcia recalls terrifying.

When the time came to the afternoon, seeing that it was another fruitless day, Jack looked around, wanting to find someone to ask where the police station gym of the 21st precinct was, and planned to find a treadmill to run and give his brain a vacation.

Hodgner suddenly pushed the door open, still holding his phone in his hand.

"Garcia found a post in his local online community about people agitating to gather near Hyde Park at 9 p.m. tonight, smash stores, and burn cars."

"The post has thousands of views, there are tons of teens following the post, and it's graduation season for a local high school, and we all know what that means."

Rhett was a little stunned, "Hyde Park is not in the usual area of the murderer, it is far from the new community. ”

Rossi was also puzzled, "It doesn't look like their style of doing things, the murderer only transmits the pleasure of violence within them, and this kind of mass riot doesn't mean anything to them." ”

"Makes sense." Jack thought a lot, "Think about Jiejie's guidance to the media these days. ”

"The media coverage of their case has been tepid in recent days, with no headlines, no in-depth follow-up coverage, uh, it's like scratching the soles of your feet through your shoes."

Jack's mind spun for a few seconds before he came across the idiom of scratching his boots.

"As soon as there is a riot in the evening, the surrounding area will be surrounded by a swarm of reporters and TV stations, this is not Los Angeles, we can't suppress all the Chicago media, just imagine the reaction of the murderer to the headlines in the newspapers tomorrow."

"They may not have anything to do with the riots, but they will certainly be stimulated, and the next more tragic case is just around the corner."

"We're going to find a way to catch them before they commit the crime." After listening to Jack's analysis, Hodchner's brow was so wrinkled that he could trap a fly.

"So, we know when the case happened and we know the approximate range, but we can't find where the murderer is hiding?" Emily was a little deflated.

"Ignore that for now, send this message to Inspector Boyt, and we'll leave immediately." Hodgner said decisively.

——

When the BAU crowd arrived at the scene of the incident, the riots had already begun, and this was the first time Jack had seen a scene similar to the "zero dollar purchase".

The scene was not grandiose, but it was just a gathering of four or five hundred Shabi teenagers, mixed with some young people in their twenties.

But they were clearly prepared, with umbrellas, motorcycle helmets and protective gear, and some even carrying "shields" made of dumpster lids.

There was chaos along the streets, with some shop windows smashed, lit cars and cardboard boxes everywhere, and smashed glass bottles all over the floor.

The Chicago police officers who confronted him were heavily armed and armed with blast shields, blocking both ends of the street.

As soon as Jack got out of the car, he saw Inspector Boyt wearing a bulletproof vest, his hands diagonally on his chest, sandwiched between the bulletproof vest and his body, as if he was watching a monkey show, staring at the crowd in the center of the street with playful eyes.

"How's it going?" Hodchner, who got out of the car, asked.

"As you can see, the field commander has called for reinforcements, and now wait for the water cannon trucks and cavalry to arrive." Boyt was very calm, and instead asked about their case.

"Are you sure the killer won't be between these things?"

Without Rossi and Hodgner to speak, Alimi replied first, "It's almost zero." ”

"Our suspects specialize in small-scale crimes, they are older, they can control the victim quickly and effectively, and they prefer to commit violence with their own hands."

"And now these? It's two modes of violence entirely. ”

"yes, look at these poor little ones, if those damn murderers are among them, then why are we busy these days?"

Before Boyt could finish speaking, the loudspeaker rattled and a water cannon van slowly entered, followed by a neat queue of mounted police.

Jack didn't learn to ride a horse, he went to Texas once, and he just bought a cowboy hat, not that he didn't think about it, he really didn't need it, and he was riddled with trivial things at the time, so he didn't have time at all.

At this time, he looked at the team of mounted policemen riding tall horses with a yearning face, without him, they were too handsome, and I saw that they were all wearing "heavy armor" and holding extended batons, just like ancient iron horses, marching forward in a formation without slowness.

Police officers wear a full set of riot protective gear, and even the police horses are draped all over their bodies, and these tall horses with a shoulder height of more than 1.6 meters have protective gear tailored for them.

Not only are the fragile legs of the horses strapped to the legs, but even the eyes are covered with leather eye protectors to prevent the horses from being frightened by fire, etc.

Chicago police officers have a lot of experience dealing with street riots, and as the officers blocking the intersection get out of the way, the water cannon trucks are the first to go into action.

Whether it is an umbrella or a "shield" made of the lid of the garbage can, under the impact of the high-pressure water cannon, it is not vulnerable at all, and with the sound of "advice" constantly played in a loop in the tweeter, the crowd at the front was instantly washed away.

As the water column of the water cannon truck extended to the back of the crowd, the mounted police in front and the police officers with blast shields in the back, began to approach the center of the street.

Jack always felt that something was missing in this battle, and then he realized that it would only be perfect if it could be matched with the rhythmic intimidation of the Maori haka standing dance.

Just as he was looking forward to seeing the next wonderful scene, Jack's phone vibrated unaware of the current affairs.
