[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Vibrant Soul

October [-], [-], at [-]:[-] am.

The BAU team is sleeping on the plane back to Quantico headquarters.

Huo Qi, who was in a light sleep, was awakened by the vibration of the phone.

As soon as the ringtone vibrated, Huo Qi woke up instinctively. When he picked up the phone, he saw the familiar number again.

Frowning slightly, Huo Qi still answered the phone: "This is Huo Qi."

"I'm sorry, although it's a bit out of date, but the matter is urgent, you have to change the course for the time being..."

"What's wrong?" Rossi, who had already woken up, put a cup of fragrant coffee in front of Hodge.

"I'm afraid we have to adjust our course temporarily." Huo Qi, who had just hung up the phone, did not pick up the cup of coffee immediately.

"Did something serious happen?" Morgan and Red, who were also awakened by the vibrating sound of Hodge's phone, also approached.

"Everyone, come here." Hodge looked at * and Lena who had already been groomed, "I'm afraid this time, we have no other choice."

The saddest thing for a person is the death of conscience, and the saddest phenomenon for a society is the loss of justice. —— Guo Moruo

After seeing everyone sitting down and holding a cup of coffee, Hodge opened his laptop and connected with Garcia.

On the computer screen, Garcia also looked tired. Although she had carefully covered up the dark circles under her eyes with heavy makeup, the tiredness between her brows and eyes became more eye-catching.

"Baby, today you are really more radiant." Looking at Garcia's appearance, Morgan couldn't help but smile.

"Well, my black-angel, I'll take this as a compliment to me." Garcia, who was a little listless just now, became a little excited, "But, boss, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this? I I'm not complaining now, I just want to complain about our time schedule, I know we can't control the impulse of those who deserve to be killed to commit crimes, but at least they can stagger the time a little bit, even if they commit crimes, ours Can the higher-ups also consider our feelings a little bit, you know, we all just experienced a purgatory-like disaster for four days, they can't give us even a little bit of buffer time for us to take a break... "Haggard Garcia seems a little nervous.

"Garcia." Huo Qi gently interrupted Garcia's chatter, "Sorry."

"OK, OK, I know I overstepped, but, boss, you know that I didn't mean anything malicious just now." Garcia realized his gaffe just now.

"It's okay." Hodge didn't care.

* and Morgan look at each other and smile.

"Sorry, my dear family, I have to bring you another sad news." Garcia pushed the glasses frame and took a deep breath, "Just yesterday when you were fighting for the last case, a Another unbearable crime committed by an even crazier fellow: Theresa Werfa, a Virginia congressman, was burned to death by some unknown pervert."

While speaking, Garcia had already sent the information about the burning scene and Wilfa to the tablets of everyone present.

"Theresa Wilfa?! Is that Wilfa who was accused of coercing college students into prostitution?!" Rossi was slightly shocked.

"Yes, she is right." Garcia corrected, "To be more precise, it is the state congressman Teresa who was accused of coercing college students into prostitution and using it to bribe the upper class, but was acquitted late the day before yesterday. Villefa."

"It's unreasonable for her to be able to escape the crime." *frowned.

"There is no direct evidence, circumstantial evidence does not form a chain of evidence, coupled with the perfect proof of no direct participation, a person who hides behind the scenes and manipulates everything, only needs to find someone to take the blame at the critical moment, and then find a bunch of lawyers with scary names , everything will pass smoothly." Morgan said without raising his head.

"Is this sentence 'what you deserve'?" Rhett's attention was immediately attracted by the photo of the skin nailed to the tree trunk.

"It's your karma? Curious wording." Reina looked at the photo without any discomfort, "Miss Garcia, this piece of skin engraved with It's your karma came from Ms. Vilfa's body. Did it come off?"

"The DNA has been verified, and it was cut from Wilfa." Garcia instinctively moved his eyes away from the photo, "Rena, please, can you move this photo away a little bit."

"Oh, of course." Noticing it, Reina quickly moved the photo away from the screen.

"Thank you." Garcia's face softened slightly, "I'm sorry, no matter how many times, I can't get used to this."

"I understand." Reina smiled.

"What you deserve? Shouldn't it be Yourdeserveit?"*, "Is this a language problem? Or is the other party not familiar with English?"

"KARMA, this is a foreign word, derived from Karma in Sanskrit and Kamma in Pali, and its similar English is deserve. In faraway China, this word is generally translated as 'karma'." Reid faced Everyone with a slightly confused look explained, "Kamma has three meanings: one is fabrication; two is action; They think that because we have desires, we have all kinds of desires and desires, our minds have will and direction, and because we have desires, we will create karma, and if we have karma, there will be results.”

"These are true, but this word is rarely used by ordinary people." Reina fell into deep thought.

"Is that all, baby?" Morgan looked at Garcia.

"Of course it's more than that," Garcia continued, "the bodies of two male victims, Adonis Duncan and Khalil McDyess, were found by the police in the previous week and the weekend of the previous week, respectively. The phrase It's yourkarma is also engraved on the chest of their remains."

"Aren't those two men burned to death?" Rossi looked up.

"Adonis Duncan was electrocuted to death, while Khalil McDyess died of internal organ failure after being poured into his body with sulfuric acid." Garcia resisted the urge to vomit, "Their The information has also been sent to you.”

"The three victims are two men and one woman. Duncan is black, and McDyess and Wilfa are white. The murderer does not seem to have any preference in the choice of victims." *Review information.

"A 28-year-old, a 50-year-old, a 42-year-old, and there isn't any particular focus on the age span," Morgan added.

"Adonis Duncan is a stockbroker by profession, Khalil McDyess is a teacher by profession, and Teresa Werfa is a state senator, so there is no relevant occupation." Hodge looked at the computer screen, "Garcia, is there any intersection in the daily life trajectories of these three people?"

Garcia: "Sorry, at least there is no evidence to prove this point of view, but I am still searching with all my strength."

"The three people's residences are also in different places in the urban area. Duncan is in the city center, McDyess is in the outskirts of the city, Wilfa is in the villa in the reclamation area, and the presumed areas where the three people disappeared are all in different places. It seems that the other party It seems that she is very confident in her actions." Reina: "However, the crimes in these three cases all occurred on fixed weekends, maybe this has something to do with the nature and working hours of the suspects."

Morgan: "Or maybe this time period has special meaning to him."

Reid asked: "When did the victims find out they were missing?"

"None of their family members reported their disappearance," Hodge said, looking at Reed who looked puzzled. "However, they were killed within 48 hours of their disappearance as determined by the police."

"I looked, and according to the police, it seems that Duncan should have disappeared near the pub, because the police found his car in the parking lot near the pub; while Khalil McDyess could not determine where and how he disappeared, It can only be judged from the testimony of his family that he should have disappeared shortly after the quarrel with his family, because according to the time schedule at that time, he should have an agenda to meet with his lawyer half an hour after leaving home; and As for Teresa Wilfa, everything is unknown?! What does this mean?!" Morgan frowned.

"Their families did not particularly cooperate with the investigation of their disappearance and murder." Hodge said, "Especially Teresa Werfa, under the instruction of her legal team, the police can hardly conduct any normal investigation and evidence collection."

"Are they crazy?!" Rossi spread her hands.

Hodge expressed his understanding: "Because the matter has been exposed by the media, and now whether in newspapers or on the Internet, the details of this case are being discussed everywhere, so their family members are also under great pressure."

"In addition to the different ways of death, the three victims all suffered excessive torture before death, and they all used electric shock." Lena flipped through the forensic report, "However, the places where the corpses were abandoned were slightly different. All the male victims dumped their bodies within a radius of three kilometers from Norfolk's West Third District, and only the female victim, Wilfa, did not dump her body after being victimized. Does it have any special meaning for criminals?"

"It may also be that he wants people to see the result of the execution itself." *Supplemented Reina's point of view, "After the victims have been tortured, they have to choose three completely different ways to kill them. That's pretty much what it says."

"In addition, the corpses were engraved with It's yourkarma on their chests, and at the same time, on the day they were killed, a 'confession' written in the blood of the victims was delivered to three local newspapers with the largest circulation. Except for the fact that Wilfa's lettering was cut off and nailed to the tree trunk outside the burning scene, the criminals' behavior patterns are surprisingly consistent, and there is even no difference in the details of the position of the lettering." Rossi frowned, "He Is this flaunting your identity as a righteous man?"

"Didn't the courier see anything? It couldn't be the air or an invisible person who delivered the courier to them." * Puzzled.

Hodge: "The couriers were suddenly hijacked from behind, and before they saw anything, the criminals had already stuffed the courier and a note with the address printed into their bags. Gone soon."

"Garcia, do you have any more specific information about the three victims? For example, have they all had any shady pasts?" Rossi asked Garcia.

"Wilfa needless to say, and Khalil McDyess has just escaped from a school abuse case." Garcia replied almost instantly.

"Is McDyess also acquitted?" Hodge asked.

"That's right." Garcia replied simply and neatly, "As for Adonis Duncan, I haven't found any particularly obvious bad deeds yet."

Morgan: "Since this Duncan is the first victim, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before we know something about him."

"Looking at it now, this is an obvious serial killer of the 'Justice Messenger'." Reid opened up the conversation box, "Because of a certain value of the criminal himself, he followed his own pattern to find the criminals in his judgment who escaped legal sanctions. 'The Unsanctioned', and then sanction them. Just like the 'Wind City Judge' David Ifant in 1974, the 'Boston Judge' card that spanned 40 years in the 20s Ster Bonia is a representative of this type. This type of serial killer has a strong self-awareness, they are extremely confident and self-centered, and this awareness and feeling make them unable to Distinguish what is yourself and what is other."

"God's perspective." Reina nodded.

"Yes, it's God's perspective." Rhett continued, "From their own perspective, they are completely different from other murderers. Others just kill out of selfish desires, the embodiment of evil, while I It is to uphold justice and do justice for the heavens. This noble sense of honor will completely offset their guilt for killing itself, so that their behavior becomes unscrupulous. They will think that there are various Injustice, and some incidents caused by accident will be attributed to government inaction or negligence and mistakes of executors, and at this time, they will think that they are the only choice that can make this injustice disappear. This A special idea of ​​"justice" that they think makes them fearless and unrepentant in the process of committing crimes. A strong sense of self will make them pursue the ultimate attention, any praise from the media or the public Even small acknowledgments will make their already bursting self-confidence and awareness more self-inflated, so that they will be more determined to believe that their actions are correct, while criticism and honest advice from the opposite side will be considered by them to still be unfair. They act more vigorously to eliminate all this. It is the intertwining of these two thoughts that makes them fall into a kind of reincarnation that they cannot escape from, making them addicted to it forever, unable to extricate themselves, until they destroy themselves."

Morgan: "It's only one person a week, so it seems that the criminal's behavior and cognition should only be in the preliminary stage."

*: "But no one can guarantee whether the frequency of his crimes will suddenly increase. This kind of matter is easy to be noticed by the media. What's more, Wilfa's previous cases have always been in the center of the media's vortex. If you want to It is simply impossible to keep the news completely secret. As long as the news is published in the media, the confidence and behavior of criminals will be immediately encouraged, and what happens next will develop in the worst direction."

Hodge: "Garcia, has there been a similar case in the Norfolk area before?"

Garcia's answer was firm: "No."

Hodge: "Expand the search to the whole country."

"Wait a moment." Garcia, "The result is still blank."

"Now it seems that the only thing fixed in the other party's crime pattern is the confession letter delivered to the media by courier and the phrase 'It's your karma!' engraved on the victim's chest. Although we have no way to immediately Determine what kind of past Adonis Duncan has had, but judging from the commonality of the latter two victims, the other party's goal should be the suspect who has been exonerated, although we still need to dig deeper, Only then can we give a profile as soon as possible, but, Garcia, please contact the person in charge of the other party’s police station first, hoping that they can temporarily take precautions from this perspective.”

Garcia: "Understood, I will contact the other party immediately."

"It seems that at some point not long before the first case, the suspect must have been stimulated by a certain event." Hodge said: "And since the suspect's activities are concentrated in the Norfolk area, then he is now The chances of staying here are greatly increased. Garcia, immediately sort out and send all the detailed information of the three victims, and also, notify the local Norfolk police, hoping that after we arrive, we can talk to the three victims immediately. The family of the victim is contacted, maybe we can find some additional clues from it."

Garcia: "Got it."

Hodge: "However, unfortunately, although the local Norfolk police have tried their best, the first two 'confessions' have been released through newspapers and online social media, and Wilfa himself was dead before he was killed. We are on the cusp of the media, so it is impossible to cut off the spread of news. And this is the biggest problem in this case. For us, every second counts, and I know everyone is very tired. , However, the situation is urgent, I hope everyone can persevere."

Rossi: "It's another eventful season. Since the media has not been brought under control, it seems that the explosive killing of criminals is only a matter of time."

"It was an ordinary person first, and then he became the focus of media attention. His criminal pattern has been escalating step by step. If he can't control it well, I'm afraid the subsequent situation will be very troublesome." Morgan said: "Although it is very slim, but now I just hope , until we find him, he can settle down a bit."

"So we must try to stop him before he commits another case." Hodge, "After arriving at the destination, David and Reina went to the coroner's side to see if they could find any useful clues; Morgan and *Go to the crime scene; and Red and I go to the command center to try to meet the victim's family as soon as possible, and Garcia is on call at all times."
