"I've never said that."

Even Hank couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Don't be too rich in your associations." ”

"That's right."

He groaned for a moment and continued: "Just a few days ago, a nurse at Chicago Hospital was beaten by Qiang Jian and Ou, and after leaving the scene, the killer set the house on fire. ”

"Third-degree burns."

"It's a deep burn, and there are few good parts of the skin all over the body, right down to the subcutaneous, muscles and even bones."

"Nerves, too, are destroyed."

"It's so severe that you can't feel the pain."

Ethan nodded slowly, his expression becoming serious.

This method is brutal enough.

The last two sentences may be a blessing in misfortune for the victims.

"Olivia is the director of the Special Victims Investigation Unit in New York." Hank clasped his hands to his chest and said in a hoarse voice, "We have confirmed that this is a serial crime, and a similar case happened in New York more than ten years ago. ”

"So I called her over to help, and it wasn't long ago that she found something, a coincidence, or something."

"You know, we can't believe in coincidences."

"So."

"Something to say."

Ethan lit a cigarette with a frown, despite Olivia's presence.

Hearing this kind of case, few people will be in a good mood.

The pleasure of beating up a few of his subordinates just now is gone, but this is also the daily routine of his work.

"That's right."

Olivia took over and said seriously, "We found out something, Detective Hostett's brother Will, my partner questioned him in New York twelve years ago, and Will knew one of the victims. ”

"One of them?"

Ethan bit down on the filter and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"That's right."

The female sheriff nodded, and said with a serious expression: "In New York, three people were killed, the same modus operandi, forced, beaten, and burned to death. ”

"Right now, Will works at Chicago Hospital."

"So I want to call him to the police station and I'll ask him something, make some observations, and so on."

"What did I say?"

She spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm better at observing people's micro-expressions." ”

"Hmm."

Ethan pouted, he had just experienced this ability.

In a simple sentence, she speculated that she had a leg with that beautiful female police detective, not very good, but very good.

The investigation still needs to be investigated.

Although it involves Horstead's family, it is due.

At such a distance from New York to Chicago, Hoststed's brothers were all at the scene, and they could all hook up with the victims, one was acquaintance, and the other was in the same hospital, which made people not suspicious.

"No problem."

He nodded, "I'll inform Horstead and ask him to call this Will over." ”

"That's not the point."

Olivia interrupted and turned to look at Hank.

The next words, as an outsider, she is not very convenient to say, and it is very easy to offend people.

"Listen."

Hank put one hand in his pocket and said helplessly: "We can't let Jay know the reason for calling Will over, you must know that although Olivia is very powerful, this serial murderer is a very cautious person." ”

"We can't make him defensive."

"Walter?"

Ethan raised his eyebrows, and instantly guessed what they were trying to do: "You want a surprise attack?" ”

This one is a bit of a hassle.

I couldn't help but hesitate a little in my heart, once the matter was not handled well, Horstead's trust in himself would collapse instantly, after all, to put it bluntly, this was using the other party to lay a trap for his own brother.

Normal people can't afford this.

"Hoststed is a good cop, a righteous cop."

He bit the filter hard, shook his head slowly, and said, "I believe that he will definitely cooperate with our work, in fact, there is no need to hide it from him." ”

The meaning of this is rejection.

"Sheriff Morgan."

Hearing this, Olivia's tone became urgent: "I know this is your territory, and I don't want to be disrespectful to you, so I want to ask for your consent first." ”

"As far as is known, all four victims were young women."

"Sharpened, beaten, and burned by blazing fire."

She took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly: "Not only because this case has been buried in my heart for twelve years, but also because of these young women who died tragically, I know you are very embarrassed, but can you reconsider?" ”

With that, he looked the young sheriff in the eye.

It's just smoke rising and blocking the view.

Ethan gulped down his cigarette and glanced at Hank, who looked like he was at the mercy of his own decision.

In fact, it is very easy for them to talk to that Will, but if the other party is defenseless, they can only use Hostend, and this is the difficulty.

"Come upstairs with me."

Ethan extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the table next to him: "I think the people in the firing group should be very interested in this case. ”

"Thank you."

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll mention it later." ”

Ethan scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

There is no way, if you don't do some things, you can't get past this level in your heart, and Horstead can only find a way to appease him when the time comes.

As I walked up the stairs, I heard an accusation.

These guys are very lively, and they are all discussing whether three or four people should go on the group tomorrow and beat themselves up.

"Ahem."

Hearing footsteps, Nadia coughed softly.

The originally noisy Chase Room suddenly became quiet.

"Huh."

Ethan walked up and asked with a smile, "What were you talking about, why do you sound so excited?" ”

"Nothing."

Atwater grinned his big white teeth and said with a hint of embarrassment: "Just discussing where those two robbers came from last night, bastards, although I don't want to admit it, but after a night." ”

"Great probability."

Hostted took his words, shook his head and said, "The other party is no longer in Chicago." ”

"That's right."

Everyone nodded their heads and sighed in unison.

People who dare to do such things will not be stupid enough to stay in Chicago and wait to be caught, and normal people's brains will not be like this.

"Boyt."

Only then did Antonio notice the man following Ethan, and got up to say hello.

"That's right."

Ethan raised his hand and introduced them, "This is Olivia Linson, the head of the Special Victim Investigation Unit in New York, who came here this time for the case of the attack on a nurse at a Chicago hospital. ”

"She's here to help."

Waving his hand casually again, he continued: "I met them down there just now, so let's come up and chat together." ”

Hearing this, the people in the Chase room stood up with a smile one after another.

There are peers to visit, this is the way to go.

Besides, I have cooperated with the other party's department in the past, so I should welcome it. (End of chapter)
