It has been two hours since Issac saw Tanya again. Although the girl stayed in India for a period of time without success, when he actually saw her, Issac found that she had changed a bit.

If the previous Tanya was an elegant and slightly melancholy girl, now there is almost no elegance in her, replaced by a kind of silence.She looked pale and thin, and it didn't take a profile to tell that she wasn't doing well at all.

Mrs. Hazlitt held Tanya in her arms, wiping away tears; Mr. Hazlitt's eyes wandered to her from time to time, but he was a little restless. It was a good thing that the eldest daughter who had been missing for several months came back, but the situation of the younger daughter also made him worry.

Emily served milk tea to the reunited family of three, and nodded outside after their emotions finally calmed down.

Isaac pushed the door open and entered.

For Isaac, apparently the Hazlitts are no strangers.After failing to find Tanya, Issac has not cut off contact with the Indian police, because he has prepared for the worst, so Issac pays special attention to whether there are any corpses of young white women there.After each contact, he called the Hazlitts, not giving them a satisfactory answer, but at least letting them know that their daughter might still be alive.

So, when they met Isaac, although it was a bit of a surprise, they quickly found a reason for his presence.

"Tanya's back." Mrs. Hazlitt stood up, thinking that Isaac came here after hearing the news.Although the previous search for Tanya was fruitless, Mrs. Hazlitt is a very gentle person. Instead of being angry, she was grateful for Isaac's subsequent actions.

"That's great news," Isaac said. "Congratulations."

"But Nina's gone again." Mrs. Hazlitt was suddenly poked into tears and started crying again.

"I'm sorry..." Isaac was about to say something, but was interrupted by Tanya.

"What do you mean Nina is missing?" Tanya opened her eyes wide. "I went home and found no one at home. I asked the neighbors, and they said you were at the police station. Nina disappeared? Did something happen to Nina?"

"That's right." Isaac replied, "The FBI adjusted the road surveillance in the neighborhood where you live. We found that Nina got into a car 100 meters away from her home and never came back. The car didn't know where it was. She's gone nowhere, but this morning Walsh got a distress message from Nina."

"She got into a car?" Tanya shook her head, "It's impossible, my sister won't get into a stranger's car! Mom and Dad have always taught us how to protect ourselves, she won't do that!"

"Maybe the people in the car are people she knows." Issac said, "We are currently conducting investigations and hope that Nina can come back safely."

"I heard that there is a new victim, and Nina, a victim with the same family background as ours?" Mr. Hazlitt finally said after being silent for a long time, "You suspected that Nina might have met someone like Nina A perverted killer who targets girls from a family background now has another victim, does it mean that Nina did not actually fall into the hands of that perverted killer?"

"Theoretically, before the perverted killers get out of control, they won't kidnap two victims in succession at the same time." Reid said, "Nina was kidnapped earlier than Alice Hearst, there's no reason why Alice Hearst's body is now found to be suspicious." Nina is still missing..."

"That means Nina is alive!" Hazlitt interrupted Reid eagerly.

"That's right. The murderer has no special interest in the victim's corpse. He treats those corpses like garbage instead of collecting them." Reid bit his lower lip, "From this point of view, Nina is probably not in that person's hands superior."

This conclusion is obviously a big relief.

"But where is Nina now?" Tanya was more concerned about this question, and this question also caught the attention of the Hazlitts.

They can pretend that things are not at their worst, but the world is not harmonious without the worst.

"We're still investigating." This time it was Emily who answered, because it was BAU's job. "But don't worry, we will definitely do our best to find Nina and bring her home."

It was a beautiful promise, always giving people hope, the Hazlitts chose to believe it, and Tanya showed a pale smile.

--------------------------------

After saying goodbye to the Hazlitt family, Isaac went to see Alice Hearst's body again, and he needed to determine whether the murderer was the same person.

This time the bodies were fresh, or, if one were to broaden the scope, the bodies of the first three victims, all of whom had been found fresh.The murderer seems to have no intention of prolonging the timeline, arresting people-imprisonment-torture-death-throwing corpses, from the victim's disappearance to death, this set of steps takes no more than 24 hours, which is very interesting, because Even when Isaac sensed so much hesitation from the murderer in the first victim, he kept to the rhythm.

Compared with other perverted killers, this time the murderer was exceptionally efficient.

Because of this, they had doubts about whether Nina fell into the hands of the murderer.Whether it was kidnapping two victims at once, or imprisoning Nina like a food reserve, it didn't look like the killer's style this time.

"If our previous speculation is wrong, things will come back to square one with Nina." On the way to the forensic room, Isaac said to Reid.

"It's a little strange." Reid was thinking about another thing, "The youngest daughter disappeared, and the eldest daughter who disappeared before came back. Could this be a coincidence?"

"It does look like a coincidence," Isaac said. "In any case, the Hazlitts will feel a lot of comfort."

Outside the forensic office, Walsh sat decadently on a long row of stools in the corridor.

"Is there any news about Nina?" Walsh heard the footsteps, raised his head and found that the person walking was Isaac, and asked hurriedly.

"There is a new victim, and the possibility of Nina being kidnapped by the same murderer is reduced." Issac patted Walsh on the shoulder, "Cheer up, Nina is asking for your help, you are the one she trusts, if you are If it is knocked down, she will be very disappointed."

Walsh wiped his face hard, nodded, and walked out without saying a word.

Entering the forensic room for the second time in one day, Isaac felt much more relaxed.This time the murderer's psychology was a bit different when he committed the crime, but it was more than a little less stressful for Isaac.If every murderer felt that killing was something that was forced to have no fun and was painful, Isaac would feel that the world was a lot friendlier to him.

After 10 minutes, he felt cheated.

The murderer is the same person, that can be confirmed.But this time, the murderer's fluency was surprising. He didn't struggle anymore. Did he get used to it? Issac couldn't perceive it for the time being. What the murderer did to the victim this time made Issac feel like he was preparing a gift. , a prank gift carefully selected and packaged, the kind of emotion mixed with hatred, anticipation, and gloating, finally has a little psychopathic feel.

But why?

"Issac?" Reid whispered worriedly, and Issac had a malicious smile on his face, which made him a little uneasy.

"There's something weird about this corpse." Isaac quickly came to his senses.

"Where did I miss it?" asked the forensic doctor who had been standing quietly at the side all the time, his vigilant eyes were floating around Issac, obviously thinking that it would not be so bad for a person who smiled so strangely at the corpse to violently hurt others. impossible.

"It's not a corpse, it's a prop," Issac said. "Props to divert our attention."

"What?" The forensic doctor obviously did not accept the result, "I have been working for five years, even if I haven't graduated yet, I can't tell the difference between a corpse and a prop!"

This is simply the greatest insult to his professionalism!

Isaac thought the forensic doctor was a little silly.

"We're going to meet Hotch." Isaac already had a preliminary profile in mind.

Hotch and JJ were comforting Alice Hearst's parents. The parents were obviously unprepared for the news of their daughter's death. They couldn't figure out how their daughter, who was just going to a party, lost her life overnight.

"If I had denied her request to live out, all this would not have happened. We are still a happy family." Alice Hearst's mother burst into tears, full of self-blame.Her husband hugged her, his eyes were red, and he tried not to cry anymore.

Parents who lose their children are sympathetic, and both Hotch and JJ feel the same way.In particular, Mrs. Hearst lost her fertility in an accident when Alice was five years old. As the only daughter in the family, Alice carried all the love and expectations of the Hearsts. She left in such a tragic way, which made the Hearsts Almost collapsed.

Therefore, when Hotch heard from Isaac that Alice might have suffered such misfortune as a prop for the murderer to transfer, it goes without saying that he felt angry.

"Say what you think, Isaac," Hotch said calmly.

"I think that in this case, the key points are Nina and the Hazlitt family behind her." Issac sat leaning on his desk, "The murderer's criteria for selecting victims have not changed, and his method of committing the crime has not changed, and Nina meets The murderer's criteria for picking his victims, I wouldn't have been surprised if we had found Nina's body a few hours before Alice Hearst's. But, no. The body that turned up was that of someone else. "

"This may represent a mistake in the direction of our initial profile, and I thought so before I saw Alice Hearst's body." Issac continued, "But after I checked Alice Hearst's body, I didn't think so. If we make an assumption, assuming that Nina was kidnapped by the murderer, then under this premise, why did the murderer find Alice Hearst?"

"He's confusing the public eye." Hotch seemed to understand a little bit, "He's covering up the reason for Nina Hazlitt's disappearance. Because of the existence of Alice Hearst, the police will separate her from this serial case."

"But why did the murderer do this?" Isaac quickly gave his answer, "Because the murderer wanted to torture Nina, so that she would lose her freedom and at the same time destroy her hope of being rescued."

"So the point now is, why is Nina the special one? Where is Nina's special? Why did other victims have no chance to ask for help from the disappearance to the death, but Nina's mobile phone sent a distress message? We suspected before that this was Who has the motivation to destabilize the Hazlitts and cause them pain? And who can see their pain first-hand?"
