[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

The temperature in the forensic room was as uncomfortable as ever. There were metal cabinets erected on one side of the wall, and the cells inside were the temporary shelters for the corpses that could not be buried temporarily.

The forensic doctor I contacted before took out a key and turned it in the keyhole a few times, then grabbed the handle and pulled it out, and the pale body of the victim covered with a white cloth appeared in front of Issac.

"She suffered a lot of torture before she died." The Asian medical examiner in charge of receiving Isaac introduced, "I found burns, electric shocks, knife wounds, and bruises on her body. She was tortured to death. I have seen Her parents, they're great people, it just hurt them so much, they're broken."

"I heard the dead man had a demonic symbol on his back?" Isaac asked as he began to put on his gloves, obviously intending to see for himself.

"That's right, today's villains can really do anything." The forensic doctor cooperated very well. He transferred the corpse from the ice grid to the trolley, moved it to the dissection table, and turned the corpse over. It is reassuring that the symbol was made after the victim's death and that she did not suffer further torture."

"The previous ones are enough." Isaac clenched his fists and began examining the wounds on the corpse.The cold touch spread from the fingertips, and Isaac felt as if he was turning over a piece of dead meat.

From a certain point of view, this is not wrong.He thought to himself, glanced at Reid, who was also very serious beside him, and finally remembered to start doing business.

Issac has come into contact with a lot of perverted killers, maybe not so absolute, but most perverted killers’ emotions are extremely presumptuous when they commit crimes. They enjoy the process of torturing people, and the pleasure in it is so strong that Issac feels afraid of being affected .This one, however, is the complete opposite.

"It's a bit strange." Reid nudged Isaac with his elbow, waking him up from his stupor. "The murderer didn't seem to have a clear order when he tortured the victim. He wanted to torture the victim, but he didn't have a plan." , unorganized, he is more like experimenting, experimenting which one can cause more pain. This experiment will not stop until his pattern is fixed. And this is already known No.3 victim Otherwise, the murderer’s modus operandi is still not fixed.”

"The murderer is very contradictory." Isaac took off his gloves. "While he is torturing the victim, he is also torturing his own heart."

"You mean, he's not willing to do this kind of thing?" Reid frowned. "Someone is abetting and forcing him?"

"It's more like being forced to complete a task. He needs to torture the victims all the time, let them suffer and die. In the process, he is also suffering and hesitating but has to do it." Issac can only lament how amazing the world is, " But when the victim lost his life, look at what he did, he carved patterns with a knife on the victim's back, he was so devout, and even enjoyed the process."

"Necrophilia?" Reid had to wonder, "He prefers corpses to living people... But, no way, if that's the case, he'd prefer to collect corpses rather than throw them away."

"Hmm." Isaac agreed.

"What do you think?" Reid asked.

"Schizophrenia or multiple personalities, which one do you think is more reliable?" At least, apart from this, Issac can't think of any reason for such contradictory emotions for the time being.

"you sure?"

"I'm not sure. I need to look at the other two corpses. The variability of a single sample is too great." If the murderer can feel that hurting is a painful thing, then no matter how much Isaac sees, he won't be afraid of being affected.

Because he thought so too.

However, because the bodies were not found in the same city, Isaac and the others drove here for three hours. If they want to see more bodies, they have to go farther south all the way, which will cost a lot of money time.

"Let's ask the local forensic doctor to send the photos first." Isaac only thought about it for a while, and then gave up the inefficient way of checking it himself.

Thanks to the Internet, which can turn thousands of miles into a few seconds on the Internet, on the way back, Isaac sent Reid to drive, and began to study the pictures of the scars with his tablet computer.

Reid rarely drives, but that doesn't mean he can't.In fact, he was still driving very steadily.But even so, he still hopes that Isaac can study those pictures as soon as possible and replace him, the driver's seat is not very comfortable for him.

"The forensic report is very interesting." Isaac quickly saw the trick. "The murderer's resistance was stronger at the beginning, and his methods of torturing his victims gradually increased. The first victim, she had obvious bruises on her neck." It is obvious that someone strangled her neck. Her wrists and knees showed obvious signs of binding. The forensic examination revealed that she was drowned in the end. But her clothes were not wet. The forensic guess was that the victim was His head was pressed in a basin of water and he died of suffocation."

"You know what? It reminds me of one of the methods of school bullying, pushing the head of the bullied student into the toilet." Reid said.

"But our murderer is obviously upgrading much faster than the school bully." Issac found the photo of the second victim, "Starting from her, the murderer is no longer satisfied with a single method, she began to torture the victim with the help of tools, But apparently he didn't get it right, he broke the victim's ribs, the broken bone went into the lung, and the victim died."

"So he adjusted his methods again, and what appeared on the third victim was the kind of torture that could bring pain but not be fatal." Reid frowned, "This is more like a process of learning and practicing, but, this It does not conform to the general rules of serial killers. You must know that in the initial stage of serial killers, their style may not have been formed, but their methods are fierce enough. Although this time the murderer is also upgrading, this upgrade always gives people a kind of Weird feeling."

"That's right." Issac agreed, "But the murderer's tormenting of the victim may be just a mechanical step. What really reflects his thoughts is the pattern carved on the back of the deceased after death." Issac called up three photos "In the first victim, even though it was done after death, the murderer still hesitated when he cut the knife; but in the second victim, his hesitation was reduced, and the wound surface was much smoother, which means that he has I began to accept the process; and the last deceased, I felt piety on it. When he recognized this from the heart, the situation of the next victims is not optimistic."

"Obviously, he's ready." Reid remembered the distress text. "If the murderer sent the distress message, he was not only torturing the Hazlitts, he was provocative, confident that there was nothing we could do to him."

"Interesting." Isaac narrowed his eyes, "I like confident people, because their expressions will look good after the gutter capsizes."

Reid was about to say something when his phone vibrated.The caller was Morgan, and they found a new body.

"Nina is dead?" Reid was caught off guard and stepped on the brakes. He pulled the car to the side of the road and turned on the loudspeaker.

Isaac put down the tablet and listened carefully.

"The deceased was not Nina Hazlitt," Morgan said. "It was another girl, Alice Hearst. We contacted her parents, and they were not aware of her disappearance and murder. According to them, Alice Hearst had reported to them yesterday that she would attend the A party, the owner of the party is her good friend, and she agreed with her parents that if the time is late, she will directly borrow it at a friend's house."

"Did you get in touch with her friend?" Isaac asked.

"Yes, JJ is inquiring." Morgan's tone was not so optimistic, "Although Alice Hearst reported to her parents that she would be staying at a friend's house, she played a clever word game. The location of their party is not a friend's. Home, but a bar half an hour’s drive away. They played a little crazy last night, and no one noticed when Alice Hearst disappeared... Wait a minute, there seems to be good news from JJ..." After a while , Morgan's voice came again, "A girl noticed Alice Hearst's departure, and stopped her to ask about the situation. Alice Hearst said that she saw a friend outside and was going to say hello. That was the last time anyone See Alice Hearst."

"Are they also taken away by acquaintances?" Isaac and Reid glanced at each other. "Is it possible that Nina Hazlitt and Alice Hearst have a common circle of friends?"

"Hotch has asked Garcia to investigate." Morgan said, "The problem now is that the Hazlitts also know the news, and they use their ability to generalize to come to the conclusion that Nina may not have fallen into the hands of the psycho killer." , asking us not to waste time in the wrong direction and put pressure on us."

"Mistakes are not mistakes, it doesn't matter what they said." The fact that there was another body made Issac feel bad. He switched seats with Reid, stepped on the accelerator, and drove directly to the maximum speed.

Reid huddled in the seat, silently tightening his seat belt.

————————————————————————————

Sitting in the anteroom of the police station, the Hazlitts shook hands and cheered each other up.The desperation and panic that they had just learned of the corpse had now turned into the joy and ecstasy of knowing that it was not Nina, but that emotion was only for a moment, and they fell into worry again.They refused to go home and wait for the news, and they read the Bible silently, hoping that their piety would win God's mercy and send their daughter back to them.

Maybe they are really pious enough, although God did not send the news of Nina, but their missing eldest daughter - Tanya, she came back.

The girl was pale and emaciated, her clothes didn't fit her body well, and the door of the reception room with tears in her eyes threw herself into their arms under Hazlitt's surprised gaze.
