The California and Massachusetts time zones are three hours apart, and the Rao Gulf Stream is much faster than the average civil aviation, but the sun is already setting when the plane lands.

There were still two Saab classes waiting at the airport, and Hodchner helped Jack stuff two large boxes of equipment into the trunk, looking at the body that was being pressed down, and his face twitched.

As previously arranged, they would go straight to the scene, and Hodchner took the driver's seat.

In this regard, Jack still likes the European and American style, although Hodgner is also a leader in size, but every time he travels, as long as he is there, he will basically take the initiative to drive.

Without saying a word, the three of them followed the navigation and came to a remote mountain road, where the cordon had not yet been removed, and a group of reporters gathered around a senior police officer in civilian clothes who was talking eloquently.

"I followed the Boston Reaper case for 18 months, and if there is any evidence to prove that this horrific case is not a copycat, I will inform the public as soon as possible."

Hodgner got out of the car alone, frowned, and stood quietly on the sidelines, waiting for his little impromptu press conference to finish, before he stepped forward to shake his hand.

"I'm sorry I didn't have time to call you back, you saw it too, I'm too busy." The superintendent appeared to be about Hodgner's age, but the "vegetation" above his head was much sparser.

Hodgner is a beautiful man in the more traditional sense, with a slightly long face, a square chin and a wide forehead, thin lips, thick eyebrows, and looks square and majestic.

If he can be a few years younger, not to mention his appearance, he can compare with the Henry Cavill who played "Superman", but Taylor Hodchlin, who played the drama version of "Superman", will definitely win.

Hodgner's black hair is also thick and does not look like a middle-aged person, and they all say that they are prone to hair loss if they often use their brains, but the amount of hair in the BAU group seems to be considerable.

"It's not an imitator's doing, Director Vaughan." Hodgner's first sentence hit this person's lung tube, and if the two hadn't known each other before, this person might have exploded directly.

Seeing that this person's face changed instantly, Hodchner said a rare word, and he didn't know whether it was an explanation or a comfort.

"I also wish to be an imitator, but it's a pity."

Director Vaughan's face turned blue and pale, and he replied very unceremoniously, "Really? But you have no right to make up your mind, and I didn't invite you to come. ”

Hodgner flashed the letter from the deceased police detective Tom Shaunas to him, "Shaunas invited me before. ”

The two talked in a low voice, and Director Vaughn's face turned from blue to red, and his eyes wandered.

"Do you need us on board now?" Hodgner asked.

“.” The look of embarrassment on Director Vaughan's face flickered, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile, then nodded.

Hodchner beckoned to Jack and Jiejie, who were still in the car, and they got out of the car and walked over to the two.

"What did Tom think at the time? Didn't he know that doing so might ruin the entire police department? Director Vaughn was still a little speechless.

"Yes." Hodgner chimed in and gave an introduction to both sides.

"We are stationed in the FBI's Boston office and I am in contact with all media PR matters, and the current strategy is to continue to insist on copycat claims from the media, hoping to make "

While Jiejie was communicating with the director, Jack's eyes looked at the crime scene inside the blockade, where the body had been removed, but the car was painted with the "Vision of God" on the body, and the car driven by the victim was still in the distance.

He had already noticed the familiar figure in the tweed suit.

"Oscar Finlay, didn't you say you're going to retire when you return to Boston?"

The short black man who was busy by the car couldn't help but stiffen when he heard this, slowly turned around, and when he saw Jack, he lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose in disbelief.

"Jack?!" He straightened up with some excitement and hugged him vigorously.

"I didn't expect to see you here, how did you become the FBI, I thought you would go to the IRS."

Jack felt like this guy was a lot more stocky than he had been when he met him in Margrave more than a year ago, "I'm playing for BAU now, and you've been working out?" ”

Finlay showed off his biceps, "How's that?" I'm worried that one day I'll meet you two lawless Jack again, and I've been exercising consistently. ”

His words reminded Jack of that bloody night, as if it were yesterday, and the little black detective had not been able to fight the girl from the southern town of Roseco, was he always ready to wash away his shame?

Quite speechless patted Fen Lei's shoulder, Jack secretly sent him a long-term healing technique, goodbye is fate, although this guy has average combat effectiveness and a bit of awkward personality, but he is indeed a rare good person.

A good man should live long, which is one of Jack's simple values.

At this time, several people on the other side also ended the conversation, and when they saw the two chatting enthusiastically, they came over together, and Jack introduced each other.

"OK, there's nothing for me here, fully cooperate with the FBI, Inspector Finlay." Director Vaughan didn't give Finlay any good looks, and left the scene with this sentence.

"Political animals." Finlay muttered something behind him.

"It's you, Finlay, who is not well received anywhere." Jack teased.

"Let's talk about the situation first."

The case happened in the middle of the night last night, and the only file that Jiejie got was a thin piece of paper and a few photos.

Finlay nodded, using his phone to open the photos he had taken of the scene and introducing the identity of the victim.

"The two victims, Nina Hale, 19 years old, and Evan Harry, 23 years old, were a young couple.

Nina had her throat cut, she was stabbed 46 times, Evan was hit in the head with a blunt object, and then shot in the head, but I couldn't find a bullet casing at the scene. ”

Hodchner asked, "Is it a 44-caliber Magnum revolver?" ”

Fen Lei was stunned for a moment and nodded, "It's indeed a 44 caliber, how do you know?" ”

"He likes to use a 44-caliber Magnum revolver, and he usually carries a dagger, and the younger the female victims, the more time he spends with them." ”

"Ten years ago, Hodge was involved in the Boston Grim Reaper case."

Jack's explanation made Finlay realize.

"You're the Aaron Tom was talking about, he once mentioned you to me, and I worked with him for a short time, but I had a good relationship."

After speaking, he continued to show the photos in his phone, "I found a mark on the wrist of the female deceased, judging by the shape, it may have been wearing a watch or something before. ”

Finlay's skills are a little weaker, but his brain is quite good, although he doesn't have the aura of a protagonist like another Jack Racher, but whether it is the degree of carefulness or his rich detective experience, it can be called remarkable.

On the last day, the guys just got me 2,000 votes.
