Emily helps Jiejie deal with the media who are being stopped outside the police belt, and Red takes pictures of the patterns and numbers painted on the bus window.

Jack and Rossi boarded the bus through the back door, and the bodies of six passengers were lying in the car, some on the seats, some with their backs to the front of the car, lying in the aisle, all with stabs in their necks.

"After getting into the car, the murderer used a gun to force the driver to change the original route, and drove to this secluded road, he must have done a survey in advance to determine the nearby environment.

Then he asked to stop here, and maybe at first, including the driver, everyone thought he was just trying to rob until."

"Until he shot the driver." Rosie continued with Jack's words, "Someone panicked and tried to run away, and was shot in the back, and most of the others didn't even react. ”

"The wedding rings of the Renesas." Hodchner, who had been standing at the front of the car and looking at the driver's body, said.

The two followed his line of sight and saw the ring on the driver's left ring finger.

"What did he take this time?" Jack looked at the carload with some headache.

The murderer seems to be cruel and crazy, but he planned carefully before committing the murder, and he has seen a lot of big scenes, but looking at the corpse of the victim in this carriage, he still feels creepy.

In many cases, what is more frightening is the invisible threat hidden in the darkness.

"Does it still matter?" Hodgner dropped the sentence and turned around and got out of the car.

Rosie and Jack glanced at each other, both sensing that something was wrong with his emotions, and seeing him walking quickly into the alley, Rosie hurriedly chased after him.

Jack also got out of the car after the two of them, slowing down slightly to follow the two, when Emily walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and asked softly, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Jack shook his head, it was the first time he had seen Hodgner so out of shape in addition to the previous discord between the couple.

They followed the two and stopped at the entrance of the alley, by which time Rossi had caught up with Hodgner, putting one hand on his shoulder, forcing the other side to face him.

"What's wrong?"

Hodgner took a deep breath and tried to calm himself before speaking.

"The Grim Reaper called my hotel room tonight and offered me a deal, just like he did to Tom Shaunas."

"So you refused?" Rossi finally understood why Hodchner was so out of shape.

Hodgner nodded and admitted, "I turned him down and hung up, and then, as you can see, he responded with a massacre." ”

"So you think it's all your fault?" Rosie tilted his head slightly, glanced at Zhengda Guangming, eavesdropping on the two of them at the mouth of the alley, and then looked at Hodchner in front of him.

At this time, Red also came to Jack and Emily's side, his eyes full of worry.

"Yes, yes." Hodgner's voice was choked, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"Aha, take it, you can use my gun." In the astonished eyes of everyone, Rosie pulled out his pistol and handed it over.

"I'm touched by you, you're welcome, take it, you hung up the phone, you actually killed them, so let's end this matter now."

Seeing that Hodgner raised his hand in some embarrassment to wipe away the tears that were about to overflow, Rosie was still unrelenting, "Don't worry, we can solve this case without you, let's do it quickly." ”

At the mouth of the alley behind the two, Jack raised his hand to stop Emily, who wanted to come forward, this kind of thing is enough for Rosie alone, and their gossiping comfort will only be counterproductive.

"David! Other! Hodgner took a step back.

"It's been ten years, and I've had ten years to follow up on this case."

Rossi's expression gradually turned cold, directly interrupting his next words.

"That's because Shaunas made a deal with him, so the killing stopped, it was he who temporarily closed the case and sent the BAU, how many cases have you handled in the FBI in ten years? Can you count them yourself? ”

"But I've been remembering this case, I've been doing the profile alone, if." Hodgner spoke in a thick, nasal voice.

"What if? I've been retired before, I've written books, I've made a lot of money, I'm enjoying life, and if someone is killed while I'm signing and selling books, do I have to feel guilty and blame myself? ”

Although Rossi's words are a bit of a change of concept, the words after that are indeed very reasonable.

"If you want to end up in the same fate as Shaunas, take all the blame on yourself, whatever you want, but I want to tell you, this is exactly what the murderer wants.

But it's not your conscience, Aaron, but your conceit! ”

Rosie slowed down his tone, and said some serious comfort, "Those people's deaths have nothing to do with you, they were all done by murderers, what we should do is not to think about these haves or not, but to do everything we can to bring them to justice."

We're just the police, and without us, there would be others to arrest them, why do you think Jack offered to ask CSI to help us when we set off?

Because he never thinks that psychological profiling is omnipotent, solving cases is the goal, and in the face of criminals of the level of 'Boston Death', let go of the arrogance in your heart. ”

Hodgner looked down for a moment, a hint of shame on his face, and whispered, "Put the gun away." ”

Rosie deliberately narrowed her eyes and looked at him, looking a little unsure, "You really don't need it?" ”

Hodgner almost burst into laughter, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and looked at the crowd who were walking towards them.

"It's really sensational." Jack and Emily, who had been watching the play for a long time, laughed like villains.

Emily also stepped forward and hugged Hodchner as if comforting.

"My wife always said I was a sensationalist." Rossi boasted proudly.

Red said coldly, "Which one?" ”

"Every term." Rosie was not in the slightest.

——

Of course, things can't be so simple to pass, but at least Hodgner will not feel sorry for himself anymore, and the next thing will be said later, and the most important thing for now is to solve the case as soon as possible.

After handing over the scene with Russell and his friends, who had just arrived, the BAU people were ready to return to the bureau to analyze the case overnight.

During this time, the beautiful baby-faced female researcher Morgan Brody also communicated with Jack about the progress of her research.

"I found the surgeon who had operated on Georges Foyer, and according to his recollection, Georges Foyer was really on the line, and it was the timely arrival of an ambulance that saved him.

The stab in the chest was so fatal that the blood went into his lungs and almost drowned him. ”

Jack was disappointed, and he thought he was right.

"But." Morgan Brody blinked his long eyelashes and smiled sweetly, it turned out that he had just deliberately sold a pass.

"I used software to restore all the wounds on his body and sent them back to the headquarters, and the medical examiner, Dr. Robbins, is biased to back up your judgment.

The angle and direction of the knife when a person self-harms himself are different, and at the moment he is doing a comparative experiment with the carcass of a pig, and the results should be available soon. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Robbins, for me." Jack shook the girl's hand gratefully.
