"There is no property damage, the safes are all intact, and the murderer's purpose is obvious, which is to destroy the door, so the question now is, what is the connection between these two families?"

Jack's question was addressed to Garcia.

"For the time being, there is only a small point that both families have worked as football coaches in local secondary schools." Garcia's expression was slightly distressed.

"But isn't the Fagan family childless?" Emily asked.

Garcia nodded, "Yes, but they have a goddaughter, and Kelly Fagan is the coach of her team. ”

Rossi said with a hint of teasing, "The two deceased were both from Europe and worked as football coaches? Kind of interesting, isn't it? ”

Instead, Hodgner said seriously, "Maybe they knew each other before?" ”

"Another problem, this time the media is terribly quiet, which is very abnormal, and even after we intervened, no media took the initiative to contact me, which is the most unfulfilled time since I entered BAU."

As she spoke, Jie Jie took out a few tissues and handed them to Red, who was full of oil, as if she was taking care of her own little brother.

Jack continued, "I contacted Tyler Kelly, and she said that there is indeed a force secretly suppressing the news, but the specific information needs to give her a little time, and the result should be tomorrow at the latest." ”

Red had been staring at the computer screen for a moment without saying a word, until Jiejie handed him the tissue, and then woke up like a dream.

"I just looked at the numbers stored in several phones that Garcia sent me to my two families, and found a contact that the two families shared, but I didn't find any call logs."

Jie Jie turned her head again and looked at him with some surprise, "Just when you were eating?" You just skimmed through. ”

Red shrugged, "If Garcia had tabulated the numbers, the computer would have recognized them faster than I did." ”

Everyone was speechless, and Garcia opened his laptop, "OK, give me the number." ”

"703-555-0118, the owner of this number is Byron Delaney, 64 years old, his wife Grace Delaney just passed away last year, the children are not around, interestingly, he is British."

Jack leaned over and looked at the address, then at the time, "Send me the address, Emily and I can just go around the road." ”

——

It is said that it is a circle along the way, in fact, the road is not close, Los Angeles has another name called "Blocked City", more than eight o'clock in the evening is the beginning of the peak period of traffic jams, "Mammoth" grinding, half an hour to drive less than two kilometers.

There was a drizzle outside the window again, which made Jack feel as if he had returned to the former Jiangnan water town in his previous life.

Listening to Jack humming an unknown tune that was absurd, Emily was not in a good mood, and she had been living at Jack's house for almost 3 months.

"Why are you always so optimistic?"

Jack watched her gnaw her nails again in irritability, and shook his head helplessly, "Where is that woman with a strong heart who never loses sleep because of any case." ”

"Drowned in your big bathtub." Emily rolled her eyes and uttered a "vicious" word.

Although she knew that this guy must have been in that big bathtub Hu Tianhu Di, although she also knew that he was very clean, but every time she went in to take a bath, she inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

But in this rare cold winter in Los Angeles, Emily really couldn't resist the comfortable temptation, and was able to soak in it for an hour every day, immersed in the aroma of oak.

It was the only luxury she had ever had in these days to ease her nerves, and it was one of the reasons she persuaded herself to be cheeky and stay at Jack's house.

"Is there any news from your friends from the JTF-12 squad?" Jack asked.

Emily shook her head, "For the sake of safety, we agreed that there would be no emergency, and we would only contact each other once a week, and the last contact was five days ago, and they were also trying to inquire about Doyle's whereabouts through the intelligence department they once belonged to, but nothing came of it." ”

The "JTF-12" team she used to be in was formed by a combination of multinational agents, and Jack didn't believe that the intelligence parts of the big countries of Britain, France, and Germany would be so wasteful, and the only explanation was that people were cold.

Just like Emily joined the FBI after quitting, others also left the intelligence organization they originally belonged to after the team was disbanded, which can be regarded as a disguised retirement.

As a result, the original network of these people gradually lost its effectiveness.

Of course, this is also human nature, and if these people are killed, those intelligence organizations will definitely retaliate, such as arresting Doyle again, or targeting Doyle's resurgent terrorist group again.

But until then, spending a lot of resources to protect a few "retired agents" who have long since lost their value is too much to look up to the bureaucrats, yes, the official intelligence organization of any country, that is also part of the bureaucracy.

Never expect a bureaucracy to be responsive and proactive, Emily knows that, and Doyle knows that.

Is Doyle looking for revenge? Of course, he was interrogated in a secret prison and tortured for 7 years, perhaps the motivation that supported his survival was to seek revenge on those who had imprisoned him back then, and even to seek revenge on the country behind those people.

But is Doyle in a hurry? How could a person who could endure 7 years of torture in prison and finally successfully escape from prison lack basic patience.

Then the paradox arises, after Doyle escapes from prison, the correct thing to do is to disappear first, accumulate strength in secret, and then learn the beauty of the Rare Sect to squat and hold back.

But now a man who is not lacking in patience and has a heroic personality is rushing to threaten secretly, looking for someone to sneak into Emily's house to startle the snake, this kind of behavior is not only a problem with the brain, then there is only one answer, Emily has something or a secret in his hands that he desperately wants.

It didn't matter what the secret was, neither Rosie, Hodgner, nor Jack had ever taken the initiative to ask Emily, and when she thought it was necessary to say it, she would naturally say it.

Backed by the FBI, the most powerful counterterrorism enforcement agency in the United States, the initiative will always be on the side of the BU, and the longer it takes, the more the balance of victory will tilt towards its side.

So Emily was pressed by everyone to Jack's side, and the BAU team solved the case casually, and spent Christmas lively, as time passed bit by bit, waiting for Doyle, who was not very patient, to show his flaws first.

The reality was the same, just like the recent weather, and as the information from all sides gathered, the feeling of suffocation that was about to come made Emily in the center of the storm more and more restless.

"What do you think of these people?" Emily bit her nails for a long time before she couldn't help but speak again.

"Huh?" Jack was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted to what she was asking.

"It's a very contradictory behavior, since they have the ability to set up the scene as a fire accident, but they deliberately do it so eye-catching, it's like they are."

"Some kind of threat?" Emily said it directly.

"You think this has something to do with you?" Jack certainly knew what she was worried about.

"Is it possible that the BAU team was deliberately lured in?"

Jack thinks it's not impossible for Emily to have an idea, but it's not very likely, "You think Doyle did it?" Perhaps, but what about the purpose? Want to bring in the BAU team and catch them all? ”

Emily opened her mouth, and seemed to feel that her thoughts were a little whimsical, and shrugged helplessly, "I hope I'm thinking too much." ”
