17 Chapter 17
Police Department –
"The victims were all adult women, all of whom had been abused before their deaths, and the killer scratched half of their faces after their deaths."
A whiteboard was plastered with photos of the previous four victims, and members of the Behaviour Analysis Division and police officers sat in chairs looking at the police officers in charge of the case.
Jason Gideon crossed his hands around his chest, a serious face, and his gaze swept over the photos.
"The first victim was killed three months ago, and we have been investigating since then but to no avail. Because her face was scratched, we initially judged it a vendetta. ”
"We investigated her relationships, friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc., and found no suspects who matched the characteristics."
Aaron Hodchner, who looked meticulously serious in a suit and tie, asked, "What other characteristics do the victims have in common?" For example, the same faith, visited the same place at a certain time period? ”
The policeman thought for a moment and shook his head.
Al Greenover: "The first victim was killed three months ago, the second victim was two months ago, and two people have died this month. ”
Derek Morgan: "Something spurred him, he became bolder, and more dangerous. ”
"Can you determine the time of death of the last victim?" Hodgner asked.
"The appraisal report has come out." Jennifer Jean Heat flipped through the report in her hand.
After a round of discussion, Gideon turned around and said, "Let's go to the dumping site last night, and JJ and Red go to visit the victim's family and the people who found the scene." ”
A group of people went their separate ways.
……
Louisa didn't go to the cafeteria to eat at noon, and Winnie and Melissa were not allowed to enter the dormitory, so they had to buy lunch and pack it downstairs.
Luisa came down in slippers, her usually well-groomed blonde hair was messy, and her face had the marks of sleep.
"Are you alright?" Melissa asked.
"I made up for last night's sleep, and I didn't have nightmares." Luisa took the bag, scratched her head, and said, "But I don't think I'll ever go to the trash at night again." ”
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Winnie and Melissa both laughed, "You have a good rest, this time it was just an accident, hurry up and forget about it." Winnie said.
Luisa: "You too, don't worry about me, I'll go back to class tomorrow." ”
Before class started in the afternoon, Winnie and Melissa were called out by the teacher, and two people claiming to be FBI people outside wanted to meet them. Perhaps to relax them, they met on the shaded path of the school, and when they arrived, Luisa, who was resting in the dormitory, came from afar.
Because of last night's incident, one asked for leave to rest, and the other looked haggard, so Melissa thought that she should be stronger and stood in front of them: "You guys are the FBI?" ”
A beautiful blonde beauty in the two FBI, and a thin young man with a satchel on his back didn't look like an FBI teenager at all.
JJ and Red were also looking at them, and the girl with short black hair looked at them with suspicion and tried her best to show her strength. The blonde-haired girl wore a coat over her pajamas and pulled the hem of her dress a little uncomfortably. The most dazzling girl of the three, even if her face looked haggard, did not reduce her attractiveness at all, and only a blank look could arouse a person's desire to protect.
JJ and Red pull out their IDs and show them their identities before asking the three about what happened last night, hoping that the more careful they are, the better.
The parking lot over there doesn't even have clear street lights, let alone surveillance cameras installed in the corners, and some of the information can only be obtained from them.
Although it was already said at the police station yesterday, the girls don't mind repeating it again in order to solve the case.
"I found the body last night." Luisa said.
Luisa never accidentally stepped on dog poop and went to throw out the garbage, and finally found the body to tell the story again.
Louisa: "I was so frightened that I cried and went back to Winnie and took them back to see the police who had called the police. ”
Red: "Did you notice if there was anyone in the parking lot at the time?" ”
Melissa: "There shouldn't be anyone, no one came long after we called the police, they should be the owner of the car, and no one drove away halfway." ”
JJ: "Did you feel anything strange at the time?" Like strange sounds and stuff like that. ”
Luisa thought for a moment and shook her head: "I'm sorry, it was really dark at that time, and I was afraid that I would step on dirty things again and keep paying attention to the ground." Later, I was scared. ”
During the questioning, Winnie didn't say much, and seemed to be a quiet, beautiful and fragile girl.
The two FBI agents soon leave the school, Winnie and Melissa go to class, and Luisa returns to her dorm. The afternoon passed quickly, Winnie also searched for a report about the victim last night on her mobile phone, and the police also sent a profile of the murderer, reminding the townspeople to be vigilant that if they found similar people around, they could call the police to provide clues.
Although she already has some understanding of the dangers of this world, Winnie really didn't expect that she would be exposed to serial murders so soon, and she just hopes that these serial killers have a little vision and don't come to provoke her, otherwise she won't mind a few more unsolved cases in this world.
Because of the news reports, it was obvious that there were more students walking together after school. The first four victims were all women, and although the girls didn't think it would happen to them, they subconsciously avoided going home alone.
Winnie also turned down a few boys who were kind enough to escort her home, and she didn't want to reveal her address for the sake of her personality, not thinking that it would definitely cause trouble later.
On the way home, Winnie also went to the restaurant to pack the dishes, and Lisa invited Winnie to dinner with the Gordon family next door, Winnie herself was too lazy to do it but was happy to spend money on the extra food.
By the time she got home, Mia and Lisa had already started preparing dinner, and Winnie knocked on the door of Eisen's house with the packed food.
Lisa looked at the bag Winnie was carrying, "Oh, it looks like we can prepare a few fewer dishes." She smiled and moved out of the way.
A small stroller was parked in Lisa's living room, and Lia of the Gordons was reaching for the Muppet wind chimes hanging above with her big watery eyes, saying "ahhhh
"Hi, good afternoon, little Lia." Winnie looked down at the baby and said with a smile.
"Ah~ah." The little baby was drawn to Winnie's voice and smiled at her with a drooling smile.
Naturally, the kind Miss Green could not sit in the living room and wait for the table to be served, so she went to the kitchen and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”
Mia was cutting onions, and she wiped her tears with the back of her hand: "Can you help you dial some garlic?" ”
Winnie: "Okay. ”
Winnie returned, and the conversation shifted from parenting to the news.
"Haven't you found the murderer yet?"
"Not yet, 4 people have died, it's really terrible."
"Before the murderer is caught, try to go out during the day, and the doors and windows of the house should be closed." Speaking of which, Lisa said worriedly, "Why don't I change the door?" ”
Mia is also seriously considering this question when she listens, she still has a baby at home.
Winnie looked at the windows of Lisa's house, the windows of their house were pushed outward, she had always felt that their doors and windows were quite unreliable, and they could go out with the windows open without a protective fence, and if anyone sneaked into the house through the window, they would not be able to find it.
"Do you want to add an anti-theft window to the window on the first floor?" Winnie asked.
Of course, Americans who are free by nature do not want to remodel the windows of their homes like that, not only because of the obstruction of their sight, but also because of the feeling of living behind bars.
Lisa and Mia firmly declined Winnie's offer.
"Okay then." Winnie indifferently put the peeled garlic in a small bowl.
……
The lively campus quieted down during the day, and Luisa lived in a four-person dormitory. By this time, everyone had already eaten dinner, and they were all sitting on their beds and scrolling on their phones.
Luisa's state has basically adjusted, and she has slept for almost a day, and at this time she is also in the mood to watch dramas and talk about gossip on the Internet. At six or seven o'clock in the evening, Luisa's mobile phone suddenly received a strange call.
Luisa didn't think much about it and answered: "Hey? ”
Male voice: "Hello, Luisa Wiblen?" ”
Luisa: "It's me, may I ask who you are?" ”
Male voice: "I'm in a hurry to deliver the next courier now, can I leave your courier at the school gate?" Remember to pick it up later. ”
This is obviously a very irresponsible courier, thinking that he can handle the customer's package casually with a notice.
Hearing him say this, Luisa immediately sat up and was very unhappy: "Did you deliver such a courier?" What time is it? What should I do if someone takes you away at the school gate? ”
The other three roommates in the dorm room turned their heads to look at her, not paying attention.
The male voice, which originally sounded a little polite, suddenly became impatient: "I put it inside the school gate, there is a wall in the way, you can just wait and get it." After saying that, she hung up without waiting for Luisa to reply.
Luisa fed two disbelieving calls and looked at the hung up phone twice, it was the first time in her life that she had met such an arrogant and unreliable courier.
Luisa scolded angrily, afraid that the package would be taken away and hurriedly got out of bed and put on her shoes. By this time there was only a glimmer of light on the horizon, but it was about to darken, and Luisa walked briskly down the path. As a result, when she arrived at the school gate, she didn't see the package when she walked around the door, and suddenly she was angry.
Thinking about which student had taken it, Luisa was angry and anxious and hurriedly called the courier just now: "Where's my package?!" ”
Male voice: "At the school gate." ”
Louisa was so angry that she turned around at the door: "No! I've looked for it! ”
The male voice was silent for a moment: "Impossible, I'll let it go." ”
They talked on the phone for a long time, and the courier was so arrogant that he refused to admit his mistake, which made Luisa angry. In particular, she didn't know who sent her the package, and what the contents were worth, and she didn't know what to do if she wanted to make a claim. It wasn't until she said she wanted to complain that the man relented and said that he could compensate privately.
The male voice said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I'll go back now and compensate you in cash." The package information shows that it is just clothes, is it enough to pay you $30? ”
Luisa was panting because of the dispute just now, and she was even more angry because she didn't know the specific value of the clothes, and she always felt that she was at a loss: "You will come back immediately!" ”
After hanging up the phone, Luisa called her mother to ask if it was the clothes she had sent, but the answer was no. Luisa had a big head for a while, she was usually popular, she used to have many friends, and she had a boyfriend in high school, and now she can't figure out who bought the clothes for her.
Could it be that the ex-boyfriend wants to get back together?
Soon a car came around the corner, honked its horn and stopped, apparently deliberately trying to let Luisa walk by herself.
Obviously, the other party was irresponsible and lost the package, shirked the responsibility and went back and forth, and finally reluctantly said compensation. Now I deliberately can't find it and don't even bother to drive over.
Louisa:......
She gritted her teeth and ran over, only to see the door open, and a man with a peaked cap stepped out of the driver's seat, and the man was talking on the phone as he opened the car door, not knowing what he was looking for. When Luisa came over, she heard the man on the other end of the phone saying that there was a customer who was pestering him and delaying him, and he would send the package over after solving the problem.
Luisa had never seen such a shameless person!
She ran over and said angrily: "Hey! You ......"
Before she could finish speaking, something slammed into her head, and Luisa fell dizzily and fell down before she could feel the pain.
A pair of hands grabbed her, and a pull shoved her whole body into the carriage. The man looked around, the university covers a wide area, this area is basically uninhabited, and few people pass by at this point in time. He jumped into the car and pulled the door open, and soon got out of the car and returned to the driver's seat.
The car started and slowly left the place.
