family history of mental illness

According to Jason, the things here have existed before. If it can be traced back, it can probably be traced back to some unknown little hobbies of Chris?

In short, Chris opened the authority, and Jason discovered this place accidentally. Sometimes he wanted to take off his mask to breathe, and sleep in the secret room. Apart from the many tools that are hard to describe, it is also a good safe haven.

The two tied their hands together to tie up Rich, and there would inevitably be physical contact during this process. When touching Rich again, Brandt tried to use the tentacle of consciousness that was "limited" by Omer to invade his body. brain.

Soon, Rich's chaotic memory fragments were carried by the tentacles of consciousness and sent to the memory palace.

What Brant captures are usually the momentary fragments of violent emotional fluctuations. The complete situation like Julie before is actually a riot of the consciousness body, which rarely occurs, so now Rich's memories are just fragments. fragments.

But the frightening thing is that every fragment of his memory is a cruel beating and torture. There is no sexual assault, and there are not too many bloody scenes, but it is shocking enough.

What Brandt got was the memory of the perpetrator, so he couldn't distinguish Rich's state at that moment, but instinctively noticed something strange—there was no fatal wound.The girls in these scenes can correspond to the missing victims in the report one by one, but there is no trace of the strange marks of tearing, scratching and biting on the corpses.

What made him even more concerned was that the scenes of these incidents gave him a familiar feeling.He seems to have seen it somewhere, but he can't remember it.

And the result that Brant cared about was playing these clips over and over again in the memory palace, until even Omer couldn't help turning the pages of the tome, and protested with the long-lost sound of turning the pages: "You How long are you going to watch? This is the 16th time today!"

"It's strange, this place is very familiar." Brandt pointed to the place where Rich was violent and said, "But I'm sure I haven't been here..."

Omir disagreed: "It's nothing, maybe you have been there, but you just forgot, it's very common."

"As long as it enters my brain, it is impossible to forget."

Omir touched the tome, and suddenly said: "Do you still remember the time when you went to the mental hospital to pick up Jason?"

Brant was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly figured out the key point.

He has indeed seen these scenes before he feels familiar. The reason why this information is not stored in the memory palace is because the stimulus was triggered later and he forgot all of it. The most recent incident of forgetting happened in a mental hospital after one line.

So the point of violence that made him feel familiar but has no memory can only be at a certain point between home and the mental hospital. It happened to be there on the night of rescuing Jason. That kind of environment is deep, far away from the crowd, and suitable for doing bad things. location.

"If you care, maybe you should ask Neil and Jason." Omir gave a very reliable suggestion,

Brant looked at Jason who was about to jump out of the open window, and stopped him.

Jason squatted on the windowsill and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Brandt slowly described the fragments in his memory, and asked him, "Did we pass by such a place the night we came out of the mental hospital?"

"Very important?"

"Hmm," Brant said, "it may have something to do with the serial killings in Miami during this period."

Jason touched his chin, "I didn't pay attention, but I can help you find it now, anyway, I have to go out to avoid it."

"Yeah." Brant replied, watching Jason leave. After thinking about it, he called Neil and told him about it.

Neal's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"I have some impressions." Neil thought about it and said, "You know I like to observe the surrounding environment. I'm sure I've seen the place you mentioned."

"where?"

Neil was a little frustrated: "It's very familiar, it's about to come out, but it's just a little bit short, I can't remember..."

Brandt recalled those episodes, and finally reminded him of a feature: "I thought of it!" He couldn't help snapping his fingers: "There is a giant tree that needs at least three or five people to hug, the branches and leaves are withered and yellow, the point is There are many animal scratches on the trunk!"

"I see."

"Ok?"

There was the sound of the door closing on the phone, and immediately after the car started, Neil's voice was a little tense: "It's very close to your house, I even passed by it twice when I was out, I haven't developed abnormalities..."

"Are you regretting?" Brant keenly sensed that Neil's emotions were wrong.

"I'm not that vulnerable, I'm just a little angry."

Brandt didn't listen to his nonsense: "Give me the route, if you don't go, I'll report it to the FBI."

"I can handle it, the murderer has been arrested, right? I just went to confirm that the location is real and there is no danger...Okay." Neil told the truth: "I always have a hunch that I should go there to see , or you will regret it."

Neil still cared. He was a rather soft-hearted person. Although he was a liar who everyone wanted to beat, he hated that guns never hurt people. He still cared about being killed innocently this time.

Brandt didn't try to persuade him any further, but only said that he would report the location to BAU, so that he could prepare early and evacuate in time, so as not to fall into a trap, so he hung up the phone.

……

BAU has always been very fast, and within 5 minutes of talking with Neil, the police car stopped at the gate of Chris Lounge. Morgan and Hodge ran up to the second floor and took over the tightly bound unsub.

Rich's spirit was not right, and he began to babble again. Even when Brandt told BAU the address that Neil thought of, he didn't have any mood swings. The symptoms seemed to be more serious than when they first saw him. .

Rich didn't respond, but this was a big discovery for BAU who was stuck in a bottleneck.After stuffing Rich into the police car, Hodge called his team and organized a police dispatch.

Morgan looked at Brant and sighed a little: "I didn't expect that the key to the breakthrough was brought to us by you."

Brant shrugged: "I've been told that I'm a good citizen, believe me now."

Morgan's body language spelled out what was a negative, but he said anyway, "Thanks this time."

"There's nothing to thank, I just hope that you will end the case quickly..." Then leave Miami quickly, and return him and Neal to a piece of pure land.Of course, Brant swallowed the second half of the sentence, and didn't say it wisely.

The police car started, and they had to rush back to the police station to control Rich, and they also had to dispatch manpower to confirm the address provided by Brant. There was really not much time to delay.

Before leaving, Morgan asked him, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Hmm." Brant looked at the dark night outside, and suddenly said, "Maybe, I'm going to go to the beach..."

……

……

Biscayne Bay is located in the southeast of Miami, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, it is a famous tourist attraction in Miami.During the day, Biscayne was full of people, but when night fell, the voices faded away, and there was a bit of loneliness for no reason.

Old Sam was sitting on the beach, the waves rushed in and wet him layer by layer, but he was like a sculpture, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Brant walked over, knelt down beside him, looked at the empty wine bottles all over the floor and couldn't help saying, "How much wine have you drunk?"

Sam looked at the shadow-mottled sea and said suddenly, "Phil is here."

Brant asked, "Who?"

"My old man, he's Indian, so I followed tradition a year ago and scattered his ashes in the sea."

Brant knew who he was talking about, an old friend of Sam's tragic death a year ago, and the reason why he came to Miami to hide his identity.

Sam said calmly, "Today is his memorial day."

"so?"

"We can just talk about avenging him in front of Phil."

"???"

Brandt was fooled by Sam's coquettish operation: "Wait, when did I say I'm going to join your revenge plan?"

Sam looked at him reproachfully.

Brant...Brant's mind was full of question marks.

He can't bear this grievance!
