[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Vibrant Soul

The meeting at the Norfolk Central Police Station started in a mild wind and drizzle.

"Long time no see, Huo Qi." Before Huo Qi stretched out his hand, the tall police officer had already hugged Huo Qi tightly in his arms.

"Long time no see, Trick." Hodge showed a rare smile, and seemed to be very familiar with him.

"This is Captain Trick." Hodge, who got out of the other party's bear hug, began to introduce the two sides, "This is our team members: Special Agent David Rossi, Agent Morgan, *, Dr. Reed, Detective Rena."

"Hello." Trik shook hands with everyone one by one with a smile on his face. When his hand was stretched out in front of Reid, Reid just raised his hand as always and said "hi" shyly.

"Hello, Dr. Rhett!" Tricker didn't care about Rhett's reaction, his laughter was loud and hearty, his hands were big and powerful, and even Morgan couldn't resist the other's enthusiasm, but everyone It can also be clearly seen that the exuberant smile on Trick's face cannot dispel the bleak sadness from the other's expression at all.

Tricker said: "Miss Garcia has already contacted me. Although there is a slight delay, the family members of the three victims are already on their way here and will arrive soon. However, I hope you can Be prepared, because the media's previous involvement and publicity have put a lot of pressure on the family members of the three victims. Their cooperation with us may be far behind what you expected, especially Wilfa Family members of state legislators, I think their attitude will disappoint you."

"We know." Hodge said calmly.

Tricker continued: "As for the others, the car over there is ready, and your agents can go to any place you want to go immediately at any time. As for your command center, the large conference room over there is It's yours, everything you need is inside and you can start working right away."

Hodge: "Thank you, Trick."

"Where, I should be the one who said this. After all, I want you to come over immediately from the last case, no matter what, I owe you a big favor this time." Tricker's tone was very Sincerely, "Also, I have prepared a list in advance according to the tips you gave me, and this is a copy of it." While speaking, Trick handed a thick list to Hodge .

"It seems that your next job will be very difficult." After Hodge took a general look, he handed the document to Rossi, and Reid immediately moved over.

"It's a bit too much to say it's difficult." Trike sighed rarely, "The number of people is certainly a problem. After all, it takes time to notify each one, and you should know that, for some reason, many of them People may not live at the official registered address for a long time. Now how to notify them is the biggest headache for me. And those who can be notified, they may not be able to accept the police’s advice, although media reports have gone out Some details, but after all, the details of this case have not been fully leaked, so the media channel is completely closed to us, and I can't take the risk of setting off a huge wave and keeping everyone up at night. Therefore, Although I have dispatched all the police forces, there are still many places where I can't do anything, not to mention, there may be more fish that slip through the net, which are not within my control at all."

"Garcia, you have heard all this." Hodge had already dialed Garcia's phone number.

Garcia: "Boss, don't worry, everything is on me, as long as you give me the list, it's OK."

"This is Garcia, our information technology expert." Hodge handed the phone to Trik who looked puzzled. "As long as she helps, you can rest assured."

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please try again later." The voice on the phone gave Reina a headache.

"Call Black?" Rosie, who was concentrating on driving, turned slightly to look at Reina.

"Yes." Reina gave up the urge to dial again, "Although Miss Garcia said that she contacted Teacher Black last night, I still want to know about the teacher's current condition."

"Maybe the phone is out of battery, or you are taking a break after taking medicine." Rossi comforted Reina, "You have to know, this year's flu is really different from the past."

"Thank you, David." Reina smiled.

"Willing to serve you at any time."

At the same time, Morgan and *, who set off first, had already arrived outside the forest area where Wilfa's execution site was located.

"Hey, Derek, your speed seems to be a bit wrong today." After finally recovering from Morgan's speed, * protested.

"Sorry, *." Morgan pinched his forehead with his right hand, "I don't want to say that, but I really feel a little frustrated that there are two consecutive cases in the same day."

"But we're all safe and sound, aren't we? I mean, look, despite all the bad things that happened to us, the bombings, the fighting like a battleground, the kidnapped kids on the line, However, we still arrived at the right place, rescued the children, and are still standing here, ready to solve the next one, isn't it great?" *Looking at Morgan's current appearance, a little surprised.

"Sorry for worrying you." Morgan looked at * with an apologetic expression on his face, "I don't know why, I always feel that something bothers me these days, but it will be fine soon."

"Everything will pass, Derek, sometimes, really don't think too much." *Reassured, "However, looking at you now, I can't help but recall some things when you first arrived at BAU time."

"No way, *, have you and I really reached the age where you need to use memories to relieve stress?" Morgan showed his trademark smile.

"But you were really young at the time. I remember that at the celebration party celebrating your first anniversary of joining the group, you were so drunk that you burst into tears. While crying, you sang 'It's my hometimes!'"

"What?! Did I really do it?! Are you sure you remember correctly?!"

"Of course, Garcia specially synthesized that video and those photos into an electronic photo album. Do you need me to call her now and ask her to recall it for you?"

"OK, OK, I think we should really turn our attention to the right place..."

This is an open space surrounded by dense forests. In this inaccessible place, there is only a winding path that does not know whether it should be called a road. If it is not led by the local forest rangers, Morgan and * would even doubt , Will I be dizzy by the impenetrable trees halfway.

It took a full half an hour before the eyes of the group of people suddenly became clear.

Although it is only an open space of tens of square meters, when you come here from a forest that is enough to make ordinary people suffer from dense phobia, it will still make people's eyes shine immediately.

The open space is not very large, and the grass that originally covered the open space has already become scorched black due to the fire, but at this moment, there are still unfinished smoke curling up with sporadic fire points.And right in the middle of the open space, the embers of firewood that barely maintained their original shape were surrounding the crumbling execution frame.

"Please be careful." The accompanying police officer reminded * and Morgan, "It will collapse at any time."

"Thank you, we will pay attention to it."* nodded politely, "Have the forensic personnel completed the evidence collection?"

"Yes." The police officer responded: "The two detectives can investigate with confidence."

"It's really here, how should I describe it? Is it inaccessible?" * Turned to look at the accompanying forest ranger, "Excuse me, do you know how many people are here and that path?"

"Even we seldom come here. Except for those who occasionally like to explore or hunt in this forest, I am afraid few people would think of it." The forest ranger responded.

"Expedition?" Morgan frowned.

"It's just a game for children or curious people." The ranger's answer dispelled Morgan's thoughts.

"Excuse me, have all the relevant personnel been checked?" *asked the accompanying police officers.

"I've asked all of them. After all, those two types of people are 'well-known people' here, so it's not particularly difficult to find." The policeman replied, "However, until now, no valuable clues have been found. Or a suspect."

"Have people related to them checked? For example, they may have inadvertently mentioned this place among some relatives or friends." Morgan, who had been carefully observing the ground, raised his head.

"Well, although Captain Trick has also explained this, it is not an easy task to complete. After all, although those two types of people are somewhat special, there are many people related to them. If we investigate this way, It is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and we can only do our best in this matter." Regarding Morgan's proposal, the police officers were also very embarrassed.

*, who had just walked around carefully, came to Morgan's side.

"There are traces of ropes and pulleys on the tree trunk over there." *: "The plastic barrels found on the other side used to hold the accelerant are still in place, but the forensics personnel did not find any useful evidence on it. "

Morgan said: "The criminal must have passed some kind of transportation to bring the victim here. Looking at the road conditions outside the forest area, it seems that in addition to cars, motorcycles cannot be ruled out immediately."

*: "Indeed, the execution frame and firewood were obtained directly from here. According to the police report, not far from this open space, they found the felling land that should be used by criminals. In this case, he only needs to Just bring the rope, accelerants and other gadgets here in advance, and if that's the case, the motorcycle is theoretically possible."

Morgan agreed with *: "Yes, and compared to cars, motorcycles are less conspicuous. After all, if criminals want to get familiar with this place, they must have been here many times beforehand. If there are many exchanges, there is still a possibility of being discovered. The other party acts so rigorously, so he should not let himself make such a mistake."

*: "But according to the police report, because of the rain, almost all valuable clues were destroyed, and the forensic personnel did not seem to find much valuable things here."

"However, thanks to the blessing of the rain, the burning scene has retained its general appearance." Morgan walked a few steps forward along the path in the middle of the firewood ashes, and came to the opposite side not too far from the execution rack.

Scenes and objects in front of me, the color pictures are washed away like being washed by water, revealing a piece of black and white. It appeared in the minds of everyone.

After the criminal tortured the victim at the first scene and achieved the result he wanted, he stunned the victim in some way, then transported the unconscious victim to his own vehicle, and then took advantage of the cover of the dense night, Came to this inaccessible forest area through an inconspicuous path.

In order to prevent the victim from suddenly waking up and struggling, the unconscious victim was tightly bound hands and feet by something.

The criminal first dragged the victim out of the vehicle that had been hidden, and then dragged the victim from the narrow path to the open space.This open space has already been arranged by the criminal earlier. Right in the middle of the open space, he set up a wooden execution frame and surrounded it with piles of firewood in layers, leaving only one for himself. The trail was easy to get in and out of, and he was careful, and even built a wooden ladder under the execution rack so that he could easily tie the victim to the execution rack.

The criminal dragged the victim to the execution frame, and tied the victim to the execution frame that had been lowered in advance with the help of a wooden ladder.Then, he used the thick tree trunk, ropes and pulleys not far away to erect the downed execution frame, and then fixed it.However, all this does not seem to be easy. After all, although the body weight of a female victim is much lighter than that of an average man, if you want to pull up a comatose person together with the execution frame without using tools With the help of one or two people, it is completely impossible.

From this, it should be possible to judge that the criminal should commit the crime alone without any accomplices, otherwise, he would not need to use tools to carry out all this.

After doing all this, the victim may have woken up at this time, and she found that she was firmly tied to the execution rack, while the criminal was taking out the combustion accelerant he had prepared a long time ago, and pouring it carefully on the execution rack. on the surrounding firewood.Looking at the situation she was in at the moment, the desperate victim began to call for help vigorously regardless of her own weakness and injuries, but because the environment here was deserted, all her efforts were in vain.

After finishing everything, the criminal came to the execution rack, took out the murder weapon, and began to carve letters on the skin between the victim's chest and abdomen.The severe pain and despair caused the victim to howl like a beast, but instead of stopping the criminal's actions, it made the criminal even more excited.

While engraving the words, the criminal carefully wiped the blood gushing out of the wound to prevent the blood stains from contaminating the engraved words. He was so patient and careful, unmoved by everything around him, as if he was enjoying creating a A work of art until it'syourkarma!After the sentence was engraved, the victim at this time was already too weak, and the cry for help could only be blocked in his throat, making a grumbling sound.

In the end, the criminal used the murder weapon to carefully cut off the skin with the sentence engraved on it. Looking at the dying victim, there must have been a cruel smile of victory on his face.

He stepped off the execution rack and came to the pre-drawn fire circle. It was just a match or a lighter. All his plans immediately came to an end.

The flames immediately shot up into the sky, and the rapidly spreading fire immediately involved the victim and the execution rack in the center. The victim let out screams and screams, while enduring the engulfment of the flames painfully. The smell, the quiet night gradually restored its original appearance.

Criminals will be inscribed It'syourkarma!His skin was firmly nailed to the eye-catching tree trunk he had chosen in advance, and he left here without looking back. Behind him, accompanied by the light rain, the open space that was originally full of lush greenery had completely changed. It became a pile of scorched earth like purgatory...
