When Jack and Morgan Brody said goodbye, Hodgner was seen talking to Roy Colson, a journalist and writer who had just arrived at the scene from nowhere.

Roy Colson seems to have made up his mind not to write about Shaunas making a deal with the "Boston Grim Reaper" in exchange for Hodgner's previous promises.

"This guy is still quite shrewd, even if he adds this paragraph in the book after the case is solved, it is not a breach of promise, and he has also gained your friendship."

On the way back to the bureau, Jack commented.

Hodgner saw it, "This is his way of making a living, and I have no intention of criticizing him, and he has already won my friendship when he donated his manuscript money to the families of the victims." ”

Taking Finlay with them, everyone returned to the F.B.I.'s office in Boston, and it was not yet two o'clock in the morning, when Jiejie brought two pots of espresso that tasted little different from washing rag water, and everyone began to study the string of numbers on the bus window.

"He's never coded before, what does this number mean?" Rossi pointed to the screen as Rhett took a picture of the car window.

“1488 201 1439”

The three sets of numbers were written on the three car windows, and Jack frowned, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen them.

On the way back, Red had been thinking about it all the time, but he was never allowed to enter.

"It's not a password, it's not a formula, mathematically, they don't make sense."

Hodgner, who has recovered, has a new idea, "I still remember that George Foyer said that the 'Grim Reaper' likes to attack private cars, so he changed to travel by bus, but this time the 'Grim Reaper' also chose the bus to start, why?" ”

As he spoke, he opened a bus map and muttered to himself, "The bus that was attacked was Line 7, look here, this is the location of the Georges Foyer apartment that Jack and I visited earlier, and this bus just happened to have one stop here." ”

"I remember." Jack pulled out his small notebook, on which George Foyer had written a series of his pseudonyms and apartment addresses.

"201 South Brooklyn Street, 1488 Edenhurst and 1439 Yabloff Street, these are Foyer's addresses."

"Let's split up!" Hodgner picked up the coat he had just placed on his chair and was about to go out.

"Wait, didn't you notice that we've been led by the nose all the time?"

Jack put down his phone and suddenly said loudly.

"What do you mean?" All eyes were on Jack for a moment.

"This is the result of an examination just sent by CSI's medical examiner, Dr. Robbins, who determined that George Foyer's knife wound was most likely self-inflicted." Jack showed the email he had just received on his phone.

"What? How is this possible? The crowd exclaimed, and Hodchner, who was about to leave the door, froze in place.

"Could he be the 'Boston Grim Reaper'? It seems that everything makes sense, and as the sole survivor, almost all the information we have is provided by him. Rosie muttered to herself.

Emily looked shattered, "How did he do it?" If the ambulance had arrived a little late, he would have died. ”

"No, he can do it." Red began to look down in contemplation when Jack said that Foye had self-harmed.

"He killed Amanda Lambert first, drove an extra kilometer, called the police in a roadside phone booth, drove back, and then inflicted those wounds on himself."

"What about the murder weapon? What did he do with the murder weapon? Jiejie asked.

"The crime took place on a mountain road, and he could have made those unimportant wounds first, waited for the sound of an ambulance, inserted a fatal knife in his chest, and then threw the murder weapon under the cliff outside the car window.

At that time, the attention of the police was on the deceased and the car, and no one would have thought to search for the neighborhood at all. Jack explained.

Murderous, cunning, well-planned and even daring to risk his own life, such an opponent is simply the greatest opponent since the founding of the BAU group.

"Why would he do that?" Finlay was a little puzzled, "The police couldn't find him at the time, why did he risk his death to disguise himself as a victim." ”

"In order to take the initiative." Hodgner walked back to his seat and sat back down.

"Because of that call and the extent of his injuries, we don't suspect him at all, so the subsequent portrait of the suspect and the information he provided were all misleading to the police."

As he spoke, he picked up the materials on the table, "Amanda Lambert was only 19 years old at the time, and had just come to Boston from Michigan to attend college, do you remember the requirements in the 'Grim Reaper' agreement?"

It is no coincidence that he asked Shaunas to publish the statement in the Michigan Post. ”

Jack continued, "And he said that Amanda was his sweetheart, and he was going to propose, but from the sources, Foye was a teaching assistant for Amanda in one of his elective classes, which had only been in place for four weeks.

Come to think of it, it couldn't have been love at first sight, Foye was 28 years old at the time, working as a teaching assistant for first-year students in order to find opportunities to meet young girls. ”

Rosie had already taken Jack's small notebook in one hand, picked up his phone in the other and called Garcia, "Garcia? ”

"What's the matter? I was getting ready to go back to bed. Garcia yawned in response came over the phone.

"Sorry, uh, for the help of looking up the names from the municipal records in Boston."

Rossi said, reading out a series of pseudonyms that Foyer had written to Jack at the time, "Kevin Baskin, Miles Holden, William Parker, start with the Department of Education. ”

There was a crackling typing sound across the phone, and after a while, Garcia's voice of surprise was heard.

"Wow, did you find something? These names are in the archives of the Ministry of Education, and they are all substitute teachers who teach computer science.

Oh no, I'm going to correct that William Parker was expelled for misbehaving in his way of behaving with female students. ”

"We were played around by this Gou Niang." Rosie, who has always been Sven, was so angry that he burst into a foul mouth.

"So he deliberately left his glasses at the scene of the previous crime in order to draw our attention back to him, for what purpose?" Do you repeat the old trick? ”

"Quite possibly." Hodgner's face was full of chagrin.

"I knew I must have missed something, the purpose of the 'Grim Reaper' murder was to get the thrill of controlling power from the police, and the death of other people except for the young girls did not bring him any excitement at all."

"So he thought you were the next Shaunas, but obviously you weren't following his script, so he decided to do it another way and create a massacre that we couldn't stop the media to report on to show the police incompetence."

And he has been laying out the layout for a long time, whether it is glasses, whether it is these numbers, the purpose is to lead us to him and witness him fake his death again as a victim. ”

Hodchner got up again and ordered, "Jack, distribute the weapons, you and Jiejie in a group, me and Detective Finray in a group, and the rest in a group, let's go to his three addresses separately, hopefully it's still too late." ”

Jack nodded, and everyone went down to the garage to get equipment from the car, and Finlay kept calling to arrange reinforcements for the night patrol.

"Remember to turn off the sirens before you arrive at your destination and don't trespass into the house until reinforcements arrive."

Jack instructed the crowd as he slipped two spare ceramic inserts into the slip pockets of the soft body armor on Finlay, and checked everyone's body armor again before waving his hand to let them go.
