31 Chapter 31
At the age of 25, Mr. Spencer Reid finally reached the achievement of asking the girl to go to a café.
Truth be told, Winnie was willing to accept his invitation, and Red was quite happy. He didn't have any other thoughts, he just was happy. Perhaps, when we go to work, we can talk to Morgan and Gideon.
It's noon yet, but it's not yet time to eat, and the café is playing soothing music, and there are quite a few customers inside. As soon as the two of them sat down, a waiter came over and handed over the menu, Winnie ordered a cup of coffee to save her stomach for lunch, and Red ordered a cup too.
"Are you resting today?" Winnie asked.
Sitting face-to-face with a pretty girl made Red a little uncomfortable. He didn't dare to stare at Winnie's face, and when he heard the other side take the initiative to talk about the topic, he quickly picked up: "Yes, I came here today for something, so I'm going to buy a few books by the way." ”
"I saw JJ last time on TV." Winnie talks about previous cases in other cities and asks, "Are they okay?" ”
Speaking of his colleagues, Red relaxed a little and casually said a few small things that happened to them and could tell others. But when talking about Al, he was a little depressed: "Al has left BAU, and a new member of the team has been transferred. ”
Winnie had only met them once, and she didn't have to ask in depth if she had a casual chat. She had a good impression of the clean-cut and considerate Agent Greenover, but she couldn't ask why he had left BAU.
It's just that the scheduling at work is fine, but if it's other bad reasons, it may lead the topic in a bad direction, and then it's embarrassing.
She just bought a book, and by the way, she had a drink with a handsome little guy who had a relationship, and there was no need to inquire about other people's work and life.
Red also felt that it was not a good topic to talk about, mainly because he was still feeling guilty about Al's departure, blaming himself for not noticing Al's emotions at the time. He noticed that something was wrong with Al, but he didn't talk to her, which caused the rest of the story.
So, he turned the conversation to the books Winnie bought.
"I just noticed the book you bought, are you interested in mystical powers?"
If it was someone else, Winnie would have just fooled it over, and would only say that she had found these books on a whim to pass the time. But thinking of the things that exist in this world, and hearing the Winchester brothers say that even the police know little about the existence of evil creatures, I thought maybe I should warn him.
In addition to them saving Louisa, Uncle Gideon is Sarah's boyfriend. If they encounter those things in future cases, they should also know who to find to solve them, instead of thinking that human murderers did it.
Thinking so, Winnie's gaze turned to the bag containing the book, and her expression seemed to be full of concern.
"I'm not interested, but I think I should go and see it, if I meet ...... again one day," she said, lowering her eyes, not knowing whether she was worried or afraid, and said, "At least I can live until someone comes to save me." ”
As soon as he said "live" and "save me", Red's expression changed. His brow furrowed, and he looked at Winnie worriedly and puzzled, "Did something happen to you?" I might be able to help you. ”
However, the girl said to an FBI agent with certainty: "You can't help me." ”
Red sat up straight, feeling like the non-existent radar was going off. He looked at the books and thought about them again
I have encountered a tragedy about believing in demons and so on, and I instantly thought that Winnie might have been targeted by those cults/cults.
Considering that she was a weak girl, although she was anxiously worried, she still patiently asked, "You can tell me that if I can't help, there are other people." ”
Winnie looked at her scruples, turned her eyes away and whispered, "I know your job, you won't believe me if I say it, and you may think I'm crazy." ”
Hearing her say that, Red couldn't be even more relieved, even if Winnie didn't say it today, he had to find a way to find out the reason and then find a way to help her. In his short career, he has seen too many people lose their lives. And now the girl was still sitting across from him, and now that he knew, he couldn't let her have an accident.
"Whatever you say, I don't think you're crazy. Even if I think you're wrong, I'll prove it to you, instead of taking you for a madman. Rhett affirmatively promises.
Winnie listened and thought to herself, not necessarily.
She now pulls someone casually and swears to tell the other party that there are ghosts, demons, and vampires in this world, and the other party must think that there is something wrong with her head.
But her purpose is just to remind them, they don't need him to believe it now, they just need to have an impression and concept, and if they encounter something that is not done by humans, they can also associate it in the future.
Seeing that the girl was silent for a while, Red bit his lip uneasily and whispered, "That's what you said." It was like saying, "Don't lie to me.
Seeing that she was willing to speak, Red secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He's never been very good at interpersonal communication, and he messes up if he's not careful, and he's worried about it just now.
Winnie gathered her thoughts and said slowly, "This happened to my neighbor, and I have only recently moved to where I live now. At that time, the house on the right was not occupied, and I got along better with the neighbor on the left. One day, Lisa told me that she had been repeating a nightmare of being killed by a puppet......"
Red didn't speak, and listened quietly with a frown.
"I was woken up that night by a knock on the door, and it was raining heavily.
The Eisen couple next door braved the rain and ran over to ask for help. They said that the puppet that had been discarded in the trash in the afternoon suddenly appeared next to Lisa's bedside, but they only checked the doors and windows before going to bed......"
"The Warrens rushed over and decided to go to the small town of Ravensfield together, and I didn't worry about going with them......"
Red's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and he kept refraining from interrupting the girl as she spoke. As a profiler, he could tell that she wasn't making up lies, but because of that, the incident was so bizarre and ridiculous.
As he listened, he messaged Garcia on his cell phone, asking her if she could help check the 70-year record of accidental deaths in the small town of Ravensfield.
According to Winnie, the puppeteer's ghost killed many townspeople, and the Eisens were her last revenge.
It is impossible for an entire family to be killed overnight and their tongues cut off. And how did Edward Eisen hide this kind of thing when he was brutally made into a puppet? Is Ravensfield isolated?
Sounds like a horror story.
As soon as Winnie's words were finished, Red's cell phone rang, and after seeing the caller ID, Red apologized to Winnie, and then picked up the phone: "Garcia? ”
Quasi
Ya's lively voice came from the other end of the phone: "Oh, are you still investigating any cases during the holidays?" Without waiting for Rhett to answer, she quickly told him the results of the investigation: "Yes, Ravensfield has had many murders in 70 years, and oh my God, it didn't take seriously. There are only simple death records here, and the once populous town is now uninhabited. In July of this year, Edward Eisen also died unexpectedly. ”
Red: "Can you find out the cause of death of the residents who died unnaturally?" ”
Garcia: "When they died, they all had their tongues brutally cut out by the murderer. She remembered the purpose of Red's message, and thought of the people who had recently died in the town and asked Rhett in horror, "Did the murderer start killing again?" The first time it happened was 70 years ago! ”
It's not that there are no imitations in the cases they have taken over, but this is almost killing a small town! Why have they never heard of this kind of unsolved big case?
Red also realizes that this case is not simple, but as he just promised, he will not deny the existence of the ghost in Winnie's words without evidence. Although he didn't believe that the ghost had killed him, he had to find evidence of a murderer or a human being before he could refute it.
He had already decided that he would submit the case to JJ after that. If it were them BAU, they would have been able to find evidence.
Winnie sat and listened to their conversation in silence, even the FBI's professional team could not investigate the desired result, and even after it was confirmed that it was a ghost killing, the information of the case would only be banned. Except that the relevant personnel investigating the case will experience the collapse of the three views, there is no explanation for the outside world.
"Do you still want to listen?" Winnie asked.
In fact, taking on the role of Agent Red, he didn't scoff at what Winnie said, and looked at her with a neurotic gaze. Because she's really talking about a ghost story, a story from a horror movie.
Red took a sip of his coffee, "Please." "His dark circles look very well with the coffee, and he looks like a sad worker who is desperate for life.
Seeing that he was still willing to listen, Winnie continued: "The empty house to my right has moved in with new occupants, and I now remember seeing reports about them on the news. At that time, Mrs. Gordon had not yet given birth, and her neighbor was killed by a cult/cult/outlaw break-in......"
In this story, it is no longer ghosts but demons, and this time even the Warrens almost lost their lives. Fortunately, in the end, the exorcist brothers saw through the truth, so that the possessed Mrs. Gordon picked up a life and saved the whole family.
"The Gordons have moved away after all this experience, and I thought if I ever saw something like this happen again, it would be better to move closer to the church."
This last sentence is a lie, Winnie will not move near the church. Although she had been to the church twice and nothing had happened, she had gone there less just in case. Who knows if it will be discovered by a yin-yang-eyed priest who will chase her to her house to exorcise her.
After listening to Winnie's two strange experiences, Rhett, who was filled with all kinds of knowledge for a while, didn't know what to say.
If the police had been on the police, they would have been able to check the records, and even the Gordon family's accident in another house would have been recorded. But if the suicide Annabelle really summoned a demon and possessed the doll's body in an attempt to rob the child's pure soul......
A lot of words had already reached his lips, and in the end, Red chose to remain silent.
He said that if demons and ghosts were fake, he would find proof. If it could be confirmed that those things didn't exist, she wouldn't have to be afraid of them anymore.
"I'm going to investigate, whether it's a ghost or not, every murder that happens in the town of Ravensfield should be taken seriously." Red said.
"I also wish the ghosts didn't exist." Winnie said, "If you encounter something unexplained during your investigation, you can contact the Warrens." They're pretty famous, and you should be able to find out the contact details. ”
Hearing her mention the Warrens, Red's eyebrows moved, and he pursed his lips to look at Winnie for a moment and then stopped, and finally nodded.
Until the evidence is found, it is difficult for him to say that he suspects that the Warrens are likely to be liars!
