Wednesday, 12:30 p.m., Long Island, New York, a temporary borrowed office.

Hearing Roan's inquiry, Chenelle rummaged through a folder on her desk and explained:

"While investigating information about the woman named Laura, who was engaged in physical work before her death, the Long Island police learned from her aunt that someone had called her on Laura's cell phone, probably four days after Laura's death.

The voice of the person making the call had been distorted, and the aunt did not know the other party at all, and could only hear that the other party was a man.

The content of the phone call is a man who said that he had killed Laura in strength, and Laura's struggle before her death made him feel very interesting."

"So arrogant?"

Lacey's brows furrowed:

"Didn't the Long Island police investigate the man behind the call?"

"Unfortunately, no."

"Ellie, female, 20 years old, was a physical worker.

However, this kind of thing is also the norm in the Federation, Luo An groaned for a while, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, based on what the medical examiner of Covard has just presented, we have temporarily divided these 22 deceased into three cases.

「ok！」

After Chenelle finished explaining, the faces of several people present were not very good-looking.

Selina, female, 20 years old, ditto.

Kate, female, 22 years old, ditto......"

Cleo, female, 19 years old, ditto.

They are the first [serial homicide case of a physical worker], the second [serial homicide case of being shot in the back of the head], and the third [homicide case of being killed by a stick in the back of the head]."

Michelle, you go to the Behavioral Analysis Unit-BAU and ask two experts to come here and help them do a mock portrait and psychoanalysis of the murderers behind the two serial murders."

Chenelle closed the folder and spread her hands:

"The Long Island police simply documented the incident and went on to investigate the other cases.

The victim, Laura, was engaged in physical work before her death, her parents have long since died, and her only relative is this aunt.

Charles, male, 21 years old, no occupation can be found.

It didn't take long for Chenierle, Mona, Winslow, and Lacey to bring back the information of the new victims.

Laura, female, 25 years old, ditto.

Luo An wrote the names of the three cases on the whiteboard in the conference room, and continued:

All the agents answered in unison, Yuguan walked out and left the conference room, Luo An looked at the information on the whiteboard, and fell into deep thought.

Luo An posted the photos of the 22 victims on different whiteboards in three groups according to the different ways of death described by the forensic doctors.

But the aunt's standard of living is also very average, and it can even be said that it is a little poor, and the relationship with Laura is almost equal to nothing, so the aunt did not ask the Long Island police to investigate......

"No problem!"

"Chenelle, Mona, Winslow, Lacey, you and the Traces Department have investigated all the information of the 22 victims and sorted them out briefly.

Among them, there was damage to the larynx bone, and the first group of deaths was suffocation, a total of 12 victims, except for the guy named Charles, who was male, and the characteristics of the other 11 victims were very conspicuous, that is, they were all young and beautiful girls engaged in physical work.

"So, the murderer of the first serial murder case was a guy who specialized in the group of physical workers."

After looking at the photos and the victim's information, the detectives quickly came to this conclusion.

But Winslow had one question he didn't understand:

"This man named Charles...... What's going on with him?"

Lacey came up with her own guess:

"The murderer is a gay man?"

"No, I think the killer is probably looking at the wrong eye."

Roan shook his head and flipped through the photos of Charles's body when it was first found:

"Charles

When he died, he was wearing women's clothes and makeup on his face.

In addition, Charles's appearance is more neutral, if the murderer kills at night, when the lights are dim, there is a high possibility of misreading."

Taking Charles's picture and looking at it, the corners of Lacey's mouth twitched and accepted Roan's guess.

Mona next to her turned her gaze to the second whiteboard, frowned, and asked:

"And these victims don't seem to have anything in common?"

On the second whiteboard, all 8 victims died from a gunshot in the back of the head.

Among them, the earliest person to die, named James, male, 30 years old, could not find a job.

Then there is Mandy, female, 26 years old, who cannot find a job.

Jerome, male, 18 years old, can't find a job.

Hazel, female, 40 years old, works in a laundry.

Hayes, male, 31 years old, can't find a job.

Pi Derou, male, 24 years old, works in a supermarket.

Emily, female, 22 years old, works in a restaurant.

Evren, male, 37 years old, unemployed.

"Mona is right."

Looking at the information of the eight victims, Winslow also frowned:

"These people are of different genders, have different jobs, and have different skin, hair, eye colors, etc.

Except for the way of death, there really doesn't seem to be much in common."

Luo An clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at the photos on the whiteboard and sighed for a while, and said:

"The likelihood of a serial killer killing randomly and aimlessly is low, and these 8 victims must have something in common, but we haven't found it yet."

Mona asked:

"So what do we do next?"

Investigating a case is to peel back the cocoon in a lot of complicated information.

"In the second serial homicide case, we don't have enough information so far, and the first thing to do is to investigate and accumulate information about the eight victims before their deaths."

Luo An threw the whiteboard marker aside, then looked at the third whiteboard and said:

"But the above two serial murder cases can be put aside for a while.

Let's investigate first, and then let's look at this [murder case of being beaten to death by a stick in the back of the head]."

There are two main reasons why Luo Ann chose to investigate the last case first.

First, the two victims died four months ago, which is much shorter than the previous two cases, which spanned more than a decade.

Second, serial homicide cases are difficult to deal with, and the investigation will definitely take a long time, so dealing with [homicide cases of being beaten to death by a stick in the back of the head] first can prevent some clues and information from disappearing or being erased during this period.

"Understood!"

All the pairs understood Luo An's thoughts, nodded in unison and agreed, Luo An didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly:

"What about the information about the latter two victims?"

"It's so much simpler than the previous victims, I've found out."

Mona tapped the keyboard a few times and introduced:

"The two victims who were killed by a stick in the back of the head were a man and a woman.

The woman's name is Hannah, 20 years old, and she is a student at a university in New York.

The FBI's internal database shows that Hannah's mother called the police shortly after her disappearance, but there were no clues until we found her body.

The man's name is Bloom, he is 43 years old, and he is a robber."

"Robber?!"

Hearing this word, everyone present was suddenly a little surprised, and Lacey asked:

"How could a female college student die with a robber?"

"That's the truth we're going to investigate."

Luo An patted Lacey on the shoulder, then looked at Mona, and said:

"Tell me a little about this Bloom."

"Bloom, 43, was charged with numerous crimes of robustness during his lifetime."

Mona will be a man's letter

The breath was called out, put it in front of everyone's eyes, and introduced:

"However, due to various reasons such as the novice police who acted in advance to conduct illegal searches, which led to the suppression of evidence by defense lawyers, and the reluctance of some of the murdered women to testify in court, he almost went to prison many times."

「fu-k！」

Looking at Bloom, who was looking proudly in the case record, Lacey scolded in a low voice, and Luo An groaned slightly, and ordered:

"Chenelle, Mona, you go and investigate the phone call of the killer in the first serial murder case, and see if the relatives or friends of the other 11 victims have received similar phone calls.

Winslow, when Michelle comes back, you and she will go with her to investigate the identities of the eight victims of the second serial murder case, and the main thing is to investigate and sort it out."

The four of them nodded in unison, and Lacey asked:

"What about me?"

"You and I, we need to tell her mother who has been waiting for four months to get the news of Hannah."
