Chapter 742: Tarot Card "Death"
The reason why the serial murderer duo is called a disgrace to the LAPD is not because the Los Angeles police failed to catch the insane cousins for the next year.
It wasn't until the LAPD arrested Kenneth Bianchi that he found out that this guy had also worked as a temporary worker at the police station during the crime, and often accompanied the police to the crime scene where the body was found.
"So you're saying that the relationship between these two murderers isn't the kind of partnership that is traditionally the same? Is it closer to teachers and apprentices? ”
Joyna interjected again, but almost everyone present noticed, her gaze always turning to Hodchner, intentionally or unintentionally, every time she spoke.
Everyone at BAU, including Hannah and Jack, is privately speculating about their true relationship, and given that no one thinks that the stereotypical Hodchner will have an affair, the most voted is that Joyna is in unrequited love.
But according to a boring old man who did not want to be named and had sufficient authority within the FBI, Hodgner was involved in a number of cross-border cases before joining the FBI as an assistant federal prosecutor.
Jenny nodded, "Yes, his stall car was parked at the traffic light before, and according to him, the deceased was in a hurry, bought a burrito and walked to the intersection to hail a taxi.
According to the time, Joyna should have happened to be working as a police detective in Scotland Yard at that time, and the two probably had some intersection because of this, and Hodgner should not have known his current wife Hallie at that time.
"Is it possible that there is some emerging gang?" Danny, who was the most familiar with street gangs in the crowd, suddenly interjected.
"Gangs generally have their own territory, and they're not going to kill people randomly throughout the city, but that's really an idea." Emily thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
It is estimated that there are more onlookers at the scene this time than ever before, and many of them have obviously already seen the relevant reports, whispering while looking at the scene with a little more panic and fear in their eyes.
As for what happened during the period, whether there was a relationship between the two, and finally ended up without a problem because of the separation between the two places, no one can know except for the two parties who spoke.
After answering the phone, Danny's face became very ugly, "There was just a street shooting on Wall Street. ”
That's how people felt during the time of Sam's Son, where the sheer number of random atrocities was desperate, the police had nowhere to go, and either side knew that there was little they could do to prevent the next murder from coming. ”
Red unexpectedly agreed with his speculation, "Although the probability is small, it really can't be ruled out, it may be the initial form of some kind of gang or organization, through random killings as a formal vote to join." ”
Although free America has a daily shootout, accidental shootings and the definite appearance of a street killer are two different things, the latter is like a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head, truly achieving lifelong equality.
Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous, there was only one street shooting every two or three days before, and the time was at noon, but it was clear that there was just one in the subway station yesterday, and it happened again today, why did the murderer's frequency suddenly increase, what does this mean?
Hodgner grabbed the jacket from his chair and said, "Everyone come with me to the scene." ”
——
Wall Street in the true geographical sense is actually only about 500 meters long and only 11 meters wide, very narrow, stretching from Broadway to the East River, with a total of seven large and small intersections.
Today, the vast majority of financial institutions have long since left Wall Street in the geographical sense and relocated to Midtown Manhattan, which is easily accessible and has a wide view.
The cemetery behind the Trinity Cathedral is home to Alexander Hamilton, one of the country's founding fathers, and is one of New York's most famous tourist attractions.
Jiejie immediately thought of the role she could play, "I will contact the FBI's Organized Crime Investigation Department, and I should be able to get detailed information about the various gangs in the New York area by tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
Danny sighed and looked at the crowd of onlookers, "Now I know why Grandpa said that to us.
"The NYPD also has a criminal syndicate division that has gang intelligence, and I'll contact you right now." Danny had just picked up his phone when it vibrated in his hand.
The location of the crime is also not on this "Wall street", but it is very close, at an intersection in the southwest corner of the famous "Trinity Cathedral".
Then the next moment the shots rang out, and when he turned around, he saw a man in a hoodie who had crossed the intersection. ”
This time, the deceased was a middle-aged Jewish businessman who fell face down on the curb, and like the previous corpses, the power of the point 22 bullets was not enough to penetrate two layers of skull in a row, so there were only injectable wounds and no ejection wounds.
Especially after 911, some institutions simply moved out of New York and into New Jersey next door, where there were almost no financial institutions left on the old Wall Street, except for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Even the symbol of Wall Street, the big bronze bull that almost everyone who comes to Manhattan touches, is not on this street, but in a corner park at the southern end of Broadway.
However, after the two were alone on the way back from the airport pick-up, Hodgner suddenly changed his name to Joyna, from the original more intimate call to her first name to the surname can be easily judged, and some careful thinking of someone may have been in vain.
Seeing that everyone had their own minds and didn't speak, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the scene, Jack could only stand up and help explain, "It may be more appropriate to describe them as dominators and obedients, their actual relationship may be father and son or colleagues with superior and subordinate relationships, etc." ”
Jack gestured to the pretzel in the deceased's hand, "Is this what you bought from him?" ”
An average person can choose not to go to dangerous neighborhoods, not to go out at night, or even to schools and certain "particularly crowded places of worship", but most people are unlikely not to go out on the streets.
"Anyway, after six murders, the other side finally left us something." Rosie showed him a card in his bag of evidence.
Danny and his female partner Jenny walked back to the scene with a pen and notepad, with a helpless expression on their faces, "There were witnesses everywhere, but still no one could see the murderer's face clearly, including the vendor selling burritos less than 5 meters away from the deceased." ”
Therefore, this intersection can be described as full of people and pedestrians, but despite this, no one can see the murderer's appearance clearly.
After Jack and Red examined the body, they put on the white cloth again, and after getting up, they looked at the surveillance camera behind them at the traffic light, and from the angle, the surveillance could only shoot the back of the murderer at most, which was obviously another carefully chosen location.
At this time, Jubal, who had been staying outside in the big office and sitting in the combat center, pushed open the door of the conference room, "The murderer has committed another crime." ”
"What is this?" Danny asked curiously.
"A tarot card, 'Grim Reaper,' was thrown by the murderer on the deceased."
