This is the first time that everyone has sat obediently in the conference room, waiting for Jiejie to arrive, and it is usually her who organizes and copies the materials, carefully divides them into folders, and then gathers everyone.

Soon, the sound of hurried high heels came from far and near, and Jiejie walked quickly into the conference room, first showing an embarrassed stiff smile to everyone, and then glaring viciously at someone who had caused her such embarrassment.

The photocopied materials were sent to everyone, the projector was turned on, and several photos of the crime scene appeared on the screen, and Jiejie began to introduce the case.

"At 11 p.m. last night, a group of young people gathered for a party on a beach in South Bay that has not yet officially opened, and one of the young couples found three bodies in a newly built life-saving tower.

The deceased ranged in age from 25 to 40 years old, the cause of death was a gunshot to the head, the time of death ranged from two months to two weeks, and it is worth noting that two of the bodies were wrapped in plastic film. ”

Is it for a practical purpose or is there some symbolism? Preventing blood flow from getting everywhere? Emily asked.

"Perhaps out of remorse, wrapping the body is usually a sign of guilt on the part of the murderer. ”

"So why didn't you wrap up the third body as well?" Jack turned the pen in his hand a little awkwardly, he had been very puzzled, obviously the kitchen knife could be turned in his hand, how could he take a light pen.

"Maybe the deceased had some special meaning to the murderer, so he deliberately didn't wrap the body, or maybe something happened that made it too late for him to do so." Rosie said slowly.

Hodchner flipped through the information in his hand and frowned, "Haven't the identities of the three deceased been ascertained yet?" ”

Garcia, who rarely appeared in the conference room, and participated in the discussion of the case with everyone, hurriedly raised his hand, "The police station in Pleadaeri Town is limited, and the most they usually deal with are some petty theft and drunk tourists.

The three bodies frightened them and are now working overnight to check vacant or abandoned watchtowers and lifetowers near the beach. ”

"I've just urged the local medical examiner's office to prioritize the fingerprints collected, and my computer is already running facial recognition procedures, hoping to get results when you get there."

"Jiejie, contact the state police and ask them to arrange police forces in other areas to support, if the murderer is really a serial killer, then it is estimated that they are busy." Hodgner commanded.

"Well, there's another problem, according to the preliminary medical examiner's report, all three deceased people have lost their vital organs." Red reminded.

Rossi took the report in his hand and muttered, "It may be that the murderer is trying to hide the evidence of the crime or to keep it as a collection." ”

"Uh" Jack's mind raced through countless case materials he had read, and then asked tentatively, "You mean, a same-name killer like Jeffrey Dahmer?" ”

Jeffrey Dahmer, nicknamed the "Ghoul of Milwaukee," was his birthplace, and according to the dossier, he mutilated at least 17 young men, including boys, between 1978 and 1991.

HE IS THE MOST NOTORIOUS SAME-NAME KILLER IN FEDERAL HISTORY, AND HIS CRIMES INCLUDE JIAN CORPSES, CANNIBALISM, AND OPENING HOLES IN THE TOP OF THE VICTIM'S HEAD WHILE HE IS STILL ALIVE

His confession material ranked at least in the top five for nausea of all the serial killer profiles Jack had read, and the collection of the victim's body parts was probably the most insignificant of them.

"Perhaps, the report says that the murderer performed the castration after the victim's death, which shows that his purpose was not to torture the victim." As the report circulated among the public, the ideas were gradually opened.

Emily flipped through the thin report and continued to elaborate on her thoughts, "And the cause of death was a shot to the head, which was very efficient." ”

"But a quick kill doesn't have emotions or excitement, does it?" Jiejie Road.

Red nodded, "But castration has a strong emotional color, maybe he is a surname incompetent, he lacks the ability to surname, so he destroys corpses to vent his anger." ”

"Or maybe there is something else, this case reminds me of the 'Butcher of the Bay' that appeared in Miami last year, and I have always been a little skeptical about the motive of the murderer judged by the bureau." Rossi handed Hodchner what he had read in his hand.

Jack's eyelids jumped, Miami, "Butcher of the Bay", don't these two words refer to that "bloodthirsty forensic doctor" Dexter Morgan.

He still remembers that when he first entered the LAPD, he looked up the name Dexter Morgan, and it was indeed a bloodstain analyst at the Miami Police Department, but he hadn't paid much attention to it since then, could it be that this guy had been exposed?

Jack had wanted to find a chance to get to know him, a serial killer who lived in Miami and specialized in killing serial killers.

Although this person kills a bit too many people and his methods are a little cruel, he doesn't seem to have any grievances on his hands, they are all damned scum.

Jack also once thought that if there was any bad guy that he was inconvenient to deal with one day, but he really couldn't look at it, he could transfer it to this person, and it would be regarded as an introduction to business.

For example, Mara Grayson, who feeds on the flesh and blood of the elderly.

He secretly wrote down in his heart that he had time to inquire about the case of "Butcher of the Bay", and at this time, everyone also temporarily ended the discussion, packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Due to road conditions, it took nearly 2 hours for the two Saab buses to arrive from Los Angeles to the South Bay.

Walking into the small local police station, it was a scene of people on their backs, everyone was in a hurry, only a few police officers sitting in front of the computer, and the phone was ringing non-stop.

"I'm sorry, we just got a conference room ready for you, and we couldn't keep it busy." A young-looking sheriff greeted the group.

"Uh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Quinn Parker, I'm in charge of this case, and we just found another body in the lifeguard tower on Manhattan Beach."

The BAU crowd shook hands with him one by one, briefly introduced himself, and walked into a neatly organized conference room.

The LCD screen on the wall has been turned on, showing the latest developments in the case, and photos of the four bodies have appeared on it.

Sheriff Quinn Parker stood in front of the screen and introduced the crowd.

"We just finished checking all the lifeguards on South Bay Beach overnight, and the body came after that, and the forensic doctor judged that the time of death was less than 10 hours after the liver temperature."

Hodchner nodded, "The killer knows that the previous dumping site has been exposed, so he has changed the location, and I suggest that you increase the patrol time to once an hour and fine-tune the route."

The murderer is most likely a local, familiar with the situation around the beach, and he may be watching the progress of our investigation and adjusting the way he commits the crime. ”

The young sergeant's face was embarrassed, and Jiejie had already guessed what he wanted to say, "We have coordinated the state police dispatch unit to reinforce it, and it should be in place soon." ”

Asking for a double monthly pass is still there
