At this moment, Flora is sitting in the guest room of BAU in the FBI building.The serial killer who killed five young women in a row was found dead in the living room of her home. The murder weapon was her fruit knife with only her fingerprints on it. The two words "AP" were written on the side of the body strangely. He flatly denied having defended himself.

That's right, defense. BAU initially characterized this as a serial murderer's burglary, and Flora defended herself, so she was not sent to the interrogation room.

But later, they found a large number of materials and photos of the crime scene with the letters "AP" written on her computer.This incident caught the attention of the BAU.

Reid carried a large box with a large stack of documents from the archive room, and put it on his desk.A killer who saw his girlfriend as his next target died in his girlfriend's home, surrounded by letters that may have a certain meaning.He felt that his 187 IQ brain had become a mess.

"I found out all the cases where the two letters AP appeared at the scene. There were more than 50 cases, and the furthest one could even be traced back to 17 years ago. However, most of these cases were based on geographical differences and no relevant connections could be found. The case was closed after catching the murderer, and most of the traces were only left in the photos of the scene, and the written report did not mention it in detail..." Rhett dumped the pile of documents on his desk, "especially this It is almost impossible that the two cases, although the two letters appear in inconspicuous forms at the scene, one occurred in Florida and the other in Nevada. . . .

"Red, come on slowly. Your girlfriend is fine now, isn't she?" Morgan felt that his boy was going to be anxious.

"I can't, this matter is related to Flora, I can't stop my brain from thinking at all." Reid almost yelled when he spoke, "And you don't want me to talk to her because of my relationship with her. It's not fair, she needs me now!"

JJ came out of the living room at this time, she looked at Hodge: "I think Rhett should talk to her."

Hodge seemed to think it over before agreeing.

Flora didn't know how to explain to JJ, she could only ask JJ to let Rhett come to see her in the end.

A few minutes later, his boyfriend hurriedly opened the door and sat across from her.He looked at her with a troubled face, waiting for her to speak.

"Spenser, do you still remember the story I told you?" Flora smiled.

Seeing Rhett nodded, she continued: "After my parents were killed, everything didn't end. I saw a man walk in after the murderer left. He walked around my parents' body , as if admiring something, and then wrote an inconspicuous word next to them with gloves stained with their still wet blood. I was carried out of the closet when the police arrived, and they tried to cover my eyes to prevent me Look, but I see it anyway, the man wrote "AP"."

"I've seen the transcript of that case, but it's not reflected in it."

"Yes, because they attributed it to some memory errors caused by my excessive fear, and it was indeed difficult for me to cooperate with the investigation because the memory of my parents' death scene was too deep." Flora lowered her head, One hand caressed one cheek, "But I believe that person exists, so I started to collect such related cases, and even abbreviated my online name as AP, just to try to attract his attention..."

Rhett looked straight ahead at Flora, her head bowed, her eyes downcast, her fingers twitching on her thigh.

"But why didn't you tell me about this?" Rhett suddenly felt a nameless anger suppressed in her heart. They had been together for nearly half a year, but she never mentioned it to him.

"I..." Flora looked up and bumped into Rhett's pair of brown pupils. She knew that he was a little unhappy, just like the time with Emily and JJ. He didn't like or even hated being deceived by someone close to him.

——I'm just afraid you're worried.

She remembered the chest attack, and she remembered Rhett's panic at that time.

"Flora, I've always known you were hiding something... I know I profiled my girlfriend, but I still can't help it." Rhett spoke quickly and quickly, "I said you were like Agatha, not only because his exquisite words are like an elegant and charming woman, but also because there is an intriguing mystery behind her. I have been waiting for you to tell me, but you didn’t say anything, but I believe it's just a matter of time and I'm willing to wait, but right now..."

He paused, realizing that his tone was becoming more aggressive.

Flora opened her mouth, and finally found that all explanations were inappropriate, so she could only whisper: "Spenser, I'm sorry."

Facing Flora at this moment, Rhett couldn't really get angry in the end. He slowed down his tone: "So, can you tell me everything now? Garcia has already told me everything you know."

What does this feel like?This big boy who used to be a bit childish and paranoid, now sits opposite him as a boyfriend. He is worried about her, wants to help her, and is even willing to wait for her to tell everything on her own initiative, but she is still overwhelmed by her own concerns. Restrained, stopped.

She looked into those brown eyes that reflected her reflection, the same way she remembered when they were officially together, and she looked at him the same way he was haunted by his possible genetic mental illness.But this time, it was him.

It never occurred to me that I just wanted to use the pronoun "PTSD high-risk group" to let Reid express his doubts about his own illness, and it might have become a fact.

"Spenser..." Flora mustered up the courage she had accumulated for a long time before she spoke out the fear in her heart, "I might be crazy."

Reid frowned tightly, his eyes flickering on Flora's flickering eyes: "What do you mean?"

"Literally," she said, "do you remember the first time you profiled me? Profiled me in line with the characteristics of a sociopath, right?"

"But that doesn't prove anything, and a lot of people fit that profile," Reed continued.

Yes, back then she thought it was serious nonsense.

The topic of Flora's next sentence changed quickly: "Why would an antisocial personality who has been silent for more than ten years continue to engage in things that might have been used to satisfy himself regardless of his biological age?"

"He fulfilled some of his fantasy desires, but this desire was shattered again, or he was unable to continue due to certain diseases, and then recovered." Reid said smoothly like an endorsement.

Flora shook her head: "You missed one more thing, and that is imitation crime. He didn't do those things recently, but another person, someone who understands his methods."

"Do you want to say that someone is imitating the person who always goes to the scene to leave a mark after the murder? But it doesn't make sense. Why would someone choose to imitate such a purposeless person? Compared with A suitable case should be imitating a serial murderer." Rhett was puzzled.

Flora glanced out the window, and the BAU team members were watching their conversation through the glass with some concern.

"Then if there is a person, this person is eager to find "that person" more than ten years ago. She has investigated "that person" for many years, and this person is a high-risk group of PTSD. Her eagerness prompts her to reshape the The one she's looking for." Flora explicitly uses "she".

Rhett naturally understood what Flora wanted to express, and he was a little unbelievable: "You want to say that you made these yourself?"

"No, I want to say that I may have split into another personality." She said this with some certainty.

What will Rhett do next?Flora asked herself in her heart.

She almost convinced herself: antisocial personality; PTSD high-risk group; understanding of "that person" after long-term investigation; her brooch was even found at the scene of the crime.

Rhett looked at his girlfriend looking at her very seriously, and when he said this sentence seriously, he almost believed it, but he is a doctor with sufficient professional knowledge.

"Flora, one of the characteristics of schizophrenia is the decline in self-knowledge, that is, you don't think you have a disease, and you don't take the initiative to treat it. Since you suspect that you may have schizophrenia, then you will not suffer from this disease."

"But have you ever suspected that you might have a genetic disease? You even told me it was like finding a needle in a haystack, you said."

As soon as Flora's words came out, Rhett was stunned.Why did he suddenly feel that what his girlfriend said made sense, but he was speechless.

People are always like this, they are always influenced by emotion instead of reason in the things closest to them.He used to be so stubborn that he might be genetically schizophrenic. At that time, he believed in his own feelings more than science.Now her girlfriend is swayed by the same feelings, and he wants her to believe in science again.

Her clear blue pupils fixed their eyes on his face, as if waiting for his answer.

In the end, Rhett could only answer her like this: "Flora, don't jump to conclusions too early, I will prove it, and prove that you are not suffering from schizophrenia."

"So Rhett, did your girlfriend hide it because she suspected that she was suffering from schizophrenia?" Morgan lowered his voice and glanced at Rhett who was sitting at Rhett's desk and propped his chin on one hand while thinking. girl.

Rhett didn't want her to be alone in that room, it was like treating his girlfriend as a suspect.

In fact, she was also hiding it before...

Reid looked down uncomfortably, and pursed his lips: "I explained to her that one of the characteristics of schizophrenia is the decline in self-awareness, and you will not think that you are mentally ill."

Morgan patted Rhett on the shoulder and gave him a meaningful look. He also remembered Rhett's past doubts about himself.

"When you just went in, we analyzed the commonalities of these cases." Rossi intervened | into the conversation, "Every time the scene of "AP" is left, it is a scene in a series of serial murders , but not the first."

"So this person has enough ability to lock down the murderer of a serial murder before the police or FBI, and make a "guest appearance" in a future crime." Emily added.

"Then he must be able to use some method and channel to obtain the case information before the media discloses the details of a certain case." JJ continued.

Flora, who was quietly listening to the analysis by the BAU team, suddenly had a word in her mind—hacker.

The author has something to say: Today's second update, no, it's actually the second day. Why does oyz feel that the writing style of this article seems to be inconsistent with the previous one?

Is this the legendary "handsome but three seconds" _(:з"∠)_
