Chapter 381: The Beach Mystery (2)

Several people's phones rang at the same time, and then a video call came to Jack's phone, and he handed it to Red, who tinkered with it and transferred the video to the screen in the conference room.

"Be a pawn, guys." A joyful Garcia appears on the screen.

"I have already identified several of the deceased, and they have been posted on your phones." As she waved her hand, the other half of the screen refreshed the deceased's information, and basic information such as names and ages were marked under each person's photo.

"None of these three are locals, they are on a business trip to the town of Praiadairy."

Everyone found a place to sit down, and then began to compare the basic information of the four deceased, and after a while, Emily gave up first.

"Damn, different ages, different races, no similarities in social backgrounds, not even physical features."

Jack also has a bit of a big head, "Looks like he's not a picky eater, which is not good for profiling." ”

Red hesitated for a moment, then spoke with some hesitation, "Sean Taylor, the third deceased, the one who wasn't wrapped in plastic wrap, had an unmarried common-law partner, and he was a same-name relationship.

What might this mean in particular? In contrast, the killer seems to be a little more 'respectful' to the other two deceased. ”

Rosie looked down at his phone and shook his head, "The fourth deceased who was just discovered, Joseph Krauss, was also castrated posthumously and was not wrapped in plastic wrap, he is 42 years old and has a wife. ”

Red also felt that the basis for his judgment was not sufficient, but weakly retorted, "That may not necessarily rule out the possibility of same-surname love"

"Joseph Krauss's wife had just arrived at the police station, and other relatives were on their way by plane. ”

Hodgner put away his phone and stood up, arranging, "I'll talk to Mrs. Claus, Jiejie will contact the other families of the deceased to come and talk, and Rosie and Jack will go to the latest scene of the abandoned body to have a look."

Emily helped Red to ask the police station around the other beaches near South Bay if there was anything unusual in the near future, and to demarcate priority areas, and if necessary, to expand to the entire California region. ”

Sheriff Parker's eyes widened in surprise, "Do you know how long California's coastline is?" ”

"840 miles, I'll demarcate the area as soon as possible." Rad's swift answer made the former's face stiffen, and he didn't know for a moment whether he was serious or nonsense.

The expressions of the other people in BAU were different, and Rossi pursed his mouth, looking proud of our family's encyclopedia.

Jiejie and Emily grimaced at each other, and Jack worked hard not to laugh out loud so as not to appear too rude, but Hodchner, who still had an unwavering poker face.

——

On the way to the scene, Jack drove as usual, and Rossi sat in the passenger seat, "I heard you did a good job in New York?" ”

"What do you mean exactly?" Jack smiled at him in return.

The old man was stunned for a moment, "What else have you done?" ”

Jack gave a general account of the nursing home case that the old Hunters had asked him for, and Rosie was silent for a long time before he let out a sullen breath.

"Shit, this country wasn't like this before."

Jack shrugged and didn't answer anything.

In his previous life, in the current country, if a young person complains about the status quo, he usually hears something similar from the elderly.

And on the other side of the Pacific, in the same country where young people complain about the status quo, there are always older people who comfort them and say, "It's good now, you don't know how it used to be."

As for the present life, Jack can only say that it is late, but it is almost there.

"Is there anything I can do?" Rosie held back such a sentence for a long time.

"Let's take a look at the progress on the IRS side first, Joe Masson's problem was temporarily solved, although he lost a lot of property, but under the pressure of those two lawyers, Mara Grayson finally relented.

Before Joe Masson's villa was redeemed, he would follow the old Hunters back to Los Angeles for a while to recuperate for a while, and I heard that he had received a lot of sedatives in it, although there was no major problem with his body, but the whole person was in much worse condition. ”

It was Jack who suggested that Joe Masson come to Los Angeles to recuperate, and he estimated that there was still some time before the plot of "Red Flame Battlefield" began.

In the original play, Joe Masson chose to die calmly when the protagonist group was surrounded, and the main reason for attracting the attention of others was that he was already suffering from advanced liver cancer at the time, and he had long been tormented by the pain.

Jack plans to secretly use his skills to help him get rid of the disease before this old guy is diagnosed, although he doesn't want to destroy the world with those awesome Sunset Red Agents,

But it's almost like a set, it's not wrong to learn a little bit of agent skills and understand the other side of this world, in case someone wants to detonate a nuclear bomb or something, he can also know where to hide in advance, right?

"Anyway, I would recommend Professor Cahill give you a perfect score for group psychology, the way you helped that couple was very innovative." Rossi said.

Jack said modestly, "It's nothing more than the manipulation of online public opinion, and now the control of public opinion through the Internet water army is very mature, I just learn from it." ”

Rosie smiled and shook his head, "I'm old, but I haven't been out of touch with contemporary society, whether it's through traditional media such as newspapers and television, or computer networks and social software, it's just a way to guide public opinion."

How to grasp the tipping point of public opinion is the key, in my opinion, whether it is the effective influence on the psychological group mentioned in "The Rabble" (a group psychology classic worth watching) or the fact that the psychological group will show a very high moral realm,

You've got it all in place, and you've done a great job, boy. ”

Jack was happy in his heart, and as soon as he returned to Los Angeles, his dear Professor Maureen Cahill praised him fiercely, in every sense of the word.

This makes Rossi's painless verbal praise a little worse.

While talking, the two came to Manhattan Beach, Jack drove directly to the beach, the local police had already set up a blockade, and several forensic team staff were busy.

Jack easily climbed the lifeguard tower from the safety ladder, looked back and grinned and wanted to reach out and pull Rosie, but was slapped away by the old man's angry slap.

"It's another lifetower that has just been rebuilt." Rosie touched the railing and felt that the paint didn't seem to be completely dry.

The local government has spent a lot of money to revive tourism.

Not only was a large amount of garbage removed from the nearby beaches, but a lot of high-quality sea sand rich in quartz was imported from South America and the nearby lifeguard was rebuilt.

Hopefully, the traditional western beaches where there are more and more homeless tents will attract more tourists.

This is probably the reason why the local police turned to BAU directly through the LAPD.

After all, attracting investment is a top priority, and no matter how good the hardware conditions are, once the news of bad law and order spreads, tourists would rather face the homeless than come to live in a corner with a serial killer.

"Quite unscrupulous." Rossi looked down at the small wooden boardwalk that normally led to the lifetower, and on top of it was a long dragging strip of dried reddish-brown and mixed with blood from grains of sand.

Bloodstains led all the way into the hut, where the corpse of a middle-aged white male with a typical fat belly with a red barley upper body and beach pants lower body lay on the floor.

Jack checked it, a typical abandoned corpse scene, there was no obvious evidence left, there were footprints, but he couldn't see anything special, and he didn't know if he could analyze something different from CSI.

"So we now have four bodies, two are wrapped and two are not, why? Why should the murderers treat them differently? Rosie wondered.

Jack spread his hands, and he didn't understand, "The one inside was shot in the head, and was castrated after death, and his methods were clean and neat, these are exactly the same as the first three deceased, is it really like Red said, the murderer was treated differently according to the different sexual orientations of the deceased?" ”

During the double period, ask for a monthly pass.
