Chapter 31: Killer ≠ Serial Killer
"So, what do you mean?"
Mona and Lacey felt a little confused, not understanding the meaning of Roan's words.
Augustus on the side crutched his chin thoughtfully.
Luo An put together several files next to Mona's computer, pointed to them one by one and said:
"You see, after kidnapping the victim, the murderer habitually uses the victim's credit card to buy toys, tortures the victim at the victim's home, habitually uses the previous victim's car to observe the next victim, and finally uses the new victim's car to kidnap the new victim."
“......”
Following Luo An's fingers to check the documents one by one, Lacey seemed to understand something, only Mona hadn't reacted for the time being, tilting her head in confusion:
"So what? Roan, what exactly do you want to say? ”
"He wants to say that the murderer's actions and behaviors after kidnapping Sabina will also follow his habits!"
Augustus suddenly realized, and Lacey also clapped her hands:
"After the murderer kidnapped Sabina, he must have gone where he habitually goes!"
"That's right!"
Luo An threw the two of them a 'you are good' look, and then explained:
"You see, after the murderer kidnapped the first victim, he tortured the first victim at his home and did not leave with the victim. After kidnapping the second victim, he also tortured the other party in the bedroom of the second victim's home. So ......"
Mona finally understood, and her eyes lit up and she continued Luo An's words and said:
"So after the murderer kidnapped Sabina, it is very likely that he chose to go to Sabina's house and torture Sabina in the bedroom!"
Luo An nodded, if a person's behavior and habits are not consciously and forcibly corrected, then it will basically not change in a person's life.
Just like eating alone, some people subconsciously take a bite of food first, and some people subconsciously stuff a mouthful of food first.
It's all subconscious habitual behavior.
The killer this time is a serial killer, and all serial killers in the world have one trait: they like to repeat a certain action many times.
For example, tying a particular knot, writing certain letters, drawing certain patterns, burying a body in a specific place...... These are all habitual behaviors.
The behavior analysis course in the police academy teaches students to analyze the psychology of the murderer, portray the portrait of the murderer, and use it to find out the platoon and arrest the murderer.
Luo An hadn't learned those standard courses, and he was a killer in his previous life, so he couldn't analyze the psychology of a perverted serial killer.
A killer who takes money to do things is not the same thing as a serial killer who kills people everywhere.
But Luo An can find the murderer's habitual movements, and speculate what the murderer will do next and how he will act.
"Use this to catch the murderer."
After the analysis, Lacey walked to the conference room and brought Mr. Darren out, and Augustus said directly:
"Mr. Darren, you call your landline right now and ask if there's anything unusual there."
The Vanishing Villa in Greenwich is just a honeymoon place, and Darren and Sabina's real home is on New York's Upper East Side.
That large area was inhabited by rich people.
"No!"
Before Darren, who was full of question marks, asked questions, Luo An stopped Augustus and said:
"There's no way the killer was there."
Augustus patted his head, and he reacted.
In a place like the Upper East Side, which is full of rich people, the New York police are eager to patrol every minute, and if something unusual happened there, the police would have found out and reported it.
"Where will the murderer be?"
Mona and Lacey tilted their heads and asked, do they want to search all the villas owned by Sabina and his wife?
"No, don't bother."
Luo An shook his head, turned his gaze to Darren, and briefly explained the analysis just now to Darren, who had no idea what was going on, and asked:
"Mr. Darren, apart from the villa in the Greenwich area that you intend to use for your honeymoon, is there any house that is of special significance to your Sabina?
Or which house is the one where you and Sabina don't live often, but subconsciously think of it when we talk about it in our daily lives? ”
Hearing that his wife had most likely not been killed, Darren breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face was a little lighter, and then hurriedly thought about the question asked by Luo An.
"Bear Mountain State Park north of the Hudson River!"
After a moment, Darren clapped his hands and said in a solemn voice:
"There is a forest hut not far from the park, where Sabina and I first played poker! It was also where we formalized our relationship and I officially proposed to Sabina! ”
“......”
The cabin in the woods is unlucky to listen to.
Luo An was speechless, but it was not the time to complain, and immediately turned to Augustus and said:
"Sir, I'll head to the hut now."
Augustus did not refuse, and at the same time said:
"Lacey, you go with him, contact me immediately in case of situation, and I will send SWAT action team to support."
It is uncertain whether the killer was hiding in a forest hut, and the SWAT team can only act after confirming accurate information.
"Yes, sir."
Lacey got up and was about to follow Roan, when Darren suddenly followed:
"I'll go with you too."
“......”
Looking at Darren, who was sitting in the SUV behind Lacey, Luo An really didn't know what the other party was like now.
I love Sabina too much, so after hearing the news, I hope I can see Sabina sooner, or I don't want to see the news of Sabina's death, because Sabina dies and he can only get 300,000 ......
"Forget it."
Wearing a combat uniform, a tactical helmet, a board vest, smoke grenades, shock grenades, two submachine pistol Glock 18s, and several extended magazines, Luo An sat in the driver's seat of the SUV, looked at the rearview mirror seriously and said to Darren:
"Mr. Darren, when we arrive at the cabin in the woods, Lacey and I will go down to check on the situation, you must not get out of the car, OK?"
"I understand."
Darren sat upright, saying that he knew the danger:
"Don't worry, I won't go out in the car, and I will definitely not let myself become a hostage in the hands of the murderer."
“......”
Hearing Darren's words, Luo An rolled his eyes, but it didn't matter, he had a way to keep Darren still.
The cabin in the woods is a little far from the FBI's New York headquarters, and it takes 1.5 hours to drive, so Luo An no longer hesitated and rushed out of the SUV with one foot on the accelerator.
Hearing Mona's instructions to herself in the office before, Lacey, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was still a little unimpressed. It's not that she hasn't been in a car driven by Luo An, and she feels that her skills are average, how can she be as terrible as Mona said.
But now seeing the receding street lamps on both sides of the road, Lacey gasped, and after silently fastening her seat belt, she saw Darren with a pale face, hesitated for a moment, and tilted her head and asked:
"Luo An, there's still time, or ..... Are you slowing down? ”
Luo An gave her a meaningful look back:
"Don't worry, don't look at me as a fast driver, but it's also very stable."
In the next second, the pitch-black SUV rushed straight towards the intersection full of parked vehicles waiting for the traffic light!
