33 Chapter 33
That day, Red says goodbye to Winnie at the café and goes to investigate Ravensfield's murder. He refrained from immediately turning to his companions, who might be enjoying a rare vacation without a case.
Hodge, for example, finally has a day to spend with his wife and children.
He sorted out all the information he could find by himself, and when he went to work the next day, he went to JJ first. In addition to replacing BAU with the media and the public, JJ's job also requires picking out the most important one among the large number of cases, and if he wants his team to take on this case, he must get JJ's approval.
JJ was also shocked after reading the information compiled by Red, she looked through the backlog of cases every day, but she did not see the 70-year-old case.
In a small town, the townspeople died one after another after the death of a puppeteer, the most recent of which was just a few months ago.
JJ has decided to take the case to his teammates, but is still a little curious: "How did you get into this case?" ”
Red said with dark circles under his eyes, "I met Greene yesterday at the bookstore, Winnie Greene. ”
Hearing the name, JJ only thought about it for a moment before matching the number with a face in his memory. It was a beautiful girl to remember.
JJ: "She's related to this case?" ”
Red shook his head and said, "The last deceased is her neighbor's father, and they have a horrible nursery rhyme about puppeteers and ghosts in their town...... so Red asks for help from the famous terrorist when he says that the Eisen family suspects Mary Shaw's ghost for revenge.
After hearing this, JJ and Red had the same idea, after all, Jamie Eisen had determined that it was his stepmother who sent the puppet, and his stepmother was killed by Edward Eisen during pregnancy.
It is very likely that Edward Eisen was killed by his current wife, who was just clever enough to use the legends of the town to emulate the methods of the psychopathic murderer 70 years ago.
That's why, she suddenly disappeared in the end. And coincidentally, Jamie Eisen also found the Warrens and led the truth to the ghost revenge.
When all the team members arrived, JJ stood in the conference room with the materials compiled by Red. After everyone looked at the information in their hands, Gideon also agreed to take over the case.
Although the first psychopathic murderer may have died a long time ago, the horror nursery rhyme is still circulating in that deserted town, and there are still people copying crimes, so they should also investigate the truth.
The BAU team soon arrived in the small town of Ravensfield, and they had a clearer understanding of the town along the way. Many of the shops and houses on the roadside are deserted and uninhabited, there are no young people to be seen on the streets, and there are few people in the police station.
JJ goes to contact Jamie Eisen, and they need to investigate his father's body. Emily and Gideon go to visit the rest of the residents. Morgan and Red go to the Walker funeral home to meet Henry Sr. Winnie had mentioned to Red that Henry Sr. had photographs of all the men killed by Mary Shaw.
Old Henry opened the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw the outsiders outside the door: "Who are you?" ”
Outsiders rarely come to their town, and even if they stay halfway, they won't come to knock on the door of the funeral home. Especially looking at the Morgan tall horses,
The little old man was still a little scared when he saw it.
Morgan and Rhett took their papers and shook them: "FBI, let's investigate Edward Eisen and the nearly 70-year murder tragedy." ”
Old Henry was silent for a moment, he leaned against the door frame and sighed, "It's all over, it's all over." ”
That being said, old Henry nevertheless introduced the two into the house. I went to the workshop to look for the album that I thought I would never have to open again.
Even though Morgan and Rhett had seen a lot of pictures of the dead, they were when they saw the pictures taken by Henry Sr. It also produces a kind of horror sensation of numbness on the scalp.
Perhaps it was the murderer's methods that were so cruel and terrifying that the townspeople thought it was a ghost's curse.
Under the questioning of the two, the elder Henry also talked about the past 70 years ago.
What old Henry said was much different from what Winnie said, and more specific than Winnie's. This funeral home was inherited by Henry Sr. from his father. And there is only one funeral home in Ravensfield Town, so the records are relatively complete. The characteristics of Mary Shaw's murder are obvious, and those records are put away separately, and it is now easy to find them.
In order to destroy Mary Shaw's ghost, Jamie and the others burned Mary Shaw's body and all of her puppets when they returned last time, and even the theater was burned to the ground.
Much of the evidence has been destroyed (such as Winnie's claim that the body of a young boy who was made into a puppet and Mary Shaw's notebook), making BAU's investigation more difficult.
They wanted to investigate the murderer 70 years ago, but the real murderer was ruled out by them at the beginning, and no formally educated FBI would believe that there were ghosts in this world. Because the murderers they usually come into contact with are more terrible than ghosts, so they are very sure that the murderer is hidden in the town back then, an ordinary town resident.
……
Winnie hung up the call with Lisa and went to prepare dinner, because she often went to Lisa's house for dinner, and she was embarrassed to let a pregnant woman do the food for three people, so she also learned to cook American food. Eventually, some meat and vegetables began to appear in her refrigerator.
But as a Chinese with a mouth, foreign food is fresh at the beginning, and in the end I still miss the familiar taste. She was too lazy to do it though
rice, but simple home cooking will still be made. She first steamed the rice in a small rice cooker, took out the green peppers and tomatoes from the refrigerator and washed them, and then took out the beef and cut it into strips, ready to make a green pepper beef tenderloin and tomato egg drop soup.
The sound of chains rings in the kitchen, and Winnie turned to see an old woman with gray hair and an elderly floral shirt standing there.
Winnie stopped cutting green peppers and asked gently, "Granny Han, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Granny Ghost walked up to Winnie and took the kitchen knife in her hand: "I can't stay in that place, see you cooking dinner and come out to help." ”
Winnie immediately stepped aside when she saw it, she was so happy that someone was cooking for her, as long as it was delicious and could be eaten, she didn't care if it was made by a human or a ghost.
"Is it really bad there?" Winnie asked, leaning against the door of the refrigerator.
The ghost mother-in-law took a kitchen knife and sliced the green peppers: "It's okay for the ghost." ”
Winnie turned her head to look at the house and said, "You can come out when there are no outsiders in the house, just take care to close the curtains." Do you want me to put that
A study room to decorate for you to rest? Two computers and a sofa? ”
The ghosts stay in another dimension, where there is an intricate and chaotic flow of time, all kinds of ghosts, dark and twisted. Even if you are a ghost in this environment, you would prefer to stay in the colorful human society, right?
If she had a large house built on the outskirts, Winnie would be able to assign them a room and let them come and go freely. But she really didn't like to live in the middle of nowhere, but thinking that it was not easy for them to follow her, Winnie was entangled.
Or buy the house next door? But it's a strange behavior. Do you want to buy them another haunted house?
The house she lives in now is quite good, with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and utility room on the first floor. On the second floor there were three rooms plus a study, one of which had been converted into a cloakroom by Winnie, the study was vacant, and the other room was mostly empty, except for an old bed left by the previous owner.
Winnie: "You don't need to sleep, you don't have to stay in the house, I'm going to renovate another empty room and see what you want?" ”
The ghost mother-in-law didn't refuse when she heard it, as long as it was a ghost, there was no one who was not greedy for the world.
Winnie decided to check out the new computer and sofa tomorrow after school, and then ask them what kind of lounge they wanted, and then set it up.
As she said, they can move freely around the house as long as the curtains are closed. Unless they are born with yin and yang eyes, as long as they do not actively appear in front of others, they will not be exposed.
When she arrived at school the next day, Winnie heard her classmates chatting about the murder she had discovered yesterday, and the case was in today's newspapers, and the townspeople were talking about it. In the last lesson, the school issued a notice warning students not to go to remote places alone, and students living on campus must return to their dormitories within the specified time.
"Sometimes I have a feeling." Melissa propped her chin and turned the pen, rolled her eyes up irritably, and said, "Bad cases happen every day in the United States, and all the perverted murderers are gathered in the United States. ”
Take a look at the newspaper news! It's the freest and most unsafe place to be!
"It's not just a murderer." Luisa used a small mirror to check the completeness of her makeup, found that the lipstick had been rubbed off a little and slowly put it on, and said mockingly in a low voice: "There is also a zombie city." ”
Winnie looked at the keyword incredulously and asked, "Raccoon City?!" "Why didn't she see relevant reports on the Internet every day?
Louisa gave her a strange look, not understanding why Winnie was so excited: "Uh...... No, I mean the gathering place of the homeless people who smoke something. But what is Raccoon City? ”
Winnie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, remembering the anti-drug propaganda film she had watched, and those people did look like zombies.
"A computer game about the zombie apocalypse." Winnie explained.
After hearing this, Luisa nodded with little interest: "But in fact, some people will not encounter that kind of thing when they are old." And those who met, for example, were simply unlucky.
Some people are unlucky enough to lose their lives, and some people value their lives more than before.
Melissa said sincerely, "I hope it's not some kind of perverted murderer." ”
Because that means that there is a possibility of another tragedy, and those who are killed are often weak, powerless women and children, slow old people. She said in disgust: "They are cowards, even if they kill people, they will only find those who are weaker than him." ”
Winnie: "You're right. ”
Luisa: "Absolutely right! ”
…
The BAU team in the small town of Ravensfield has encountered unprecedented difficulties, and the evidence they have investigated, and the evidence that still remains, has pointed the murder case in an extremely strange direction. Their intellect and experience tell them that it is man-made, and the evidence they find proves that it is not human.
Is it really the curse of the revenant? This is ridiculous. This directly caused the already serious Hodgner's face to stiffen.
To make matters worse, their superiors told them to immediately close the team and solve another case, and they were not allowed to continue investigating the murder in the small town of Ravensfield.
Everyone realizes that this case is far weirder and more unusual than what they see!
