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

In the end, Isaac refrained from going to Dr. Saroyan's place.His imagination is already rich enough that there is really no need to add more material.

People, it is better to learn to restrain their curiosity.

"So, aren't you going?" Sweets was clearly amused by Isaac's stiff expression.

Isaac glanced at him helplessly, and said confidently, "I'm not a forensic doctor, and this is not within my professional scope." However, he was still a little curious, "If you do this, will the families of the victims have any objections? "

"As long as the murderer is found, they will be enough comfort." Dr. Brennan said, "And I don't think there is anything wrong with it. If the deceased is buried, he will only become a bone in the coffin. It took a long time, and now, that time is saved; if cremation is chosen..."

"Can you save fuel?" Isaac couldn't help but complain.

"In terms of environmental protection, yes." Dr. Brennan said frankly.

Isaac fell silent.

Sweets couldn't bear it. As the psychiatrist appointed by the bureau, he was used to their way of speaking and believed that there was no malice in it, but he was not sure if Isaac could accept this.On the other hand, I worry about whether Dr. Brennan's overly rational way of thinking will cause misunderstandings. If Isaac intervenes in Dr. Brennan's psychological evaluation because she lacks empathy and further believes that she is not suitable for cooperating with the FBI, then It's time for fun.

"Dr. Brennan didn't mean any harm," Sweets explained, "She just…"

"I know." Isaac frowned with some trouble, "I just think that Dr. Brennan's words actually sound a bit reasonable."

"That's the way it is." Dr. Brennan said naturally.

Isaac suddenly smiled, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, can I see the bone with the engraving?"

"Over there." Dr. Brennan said, "According to our inspection results, the tool used by the murderer to carve the inscription should be a No. 72 pocket knife. But—the first corpse we found, the inscription on the bone was made with an awl Carved out. The murderer does not seem to have a particular preference for a certain tool."

"Those five bodies are all in Jefferson?" Isaac asked. "Can you determine the exact time of their death?"

"The first body we found was actually the fourth victim, the second and the third and fourth bodies that were buried in the same shallow grave as the second body were actually the first three. Victim, the fifth body is the one that was discovered not long ago. The murders were six months ago, five months ago, four months ago, three and a half months ago, and two days ago," Dr. Brennan replied, " According to the report records obtained by Booth, the deceased were all killed within a day of disappearance."

Isaac really wanted to see the corpse, but he couldn't do anything with the bones in front of him, and he didn't want to go to Dr. Saroyan to see the dissected tissues and organs. He had to use the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and took out a pair of gloves from the cabinet , began to study the engraved arm bones.

Following the chronological order in which the victims were killed, Isaac quickly noticed the difference.The arm bones of the first two corpses were smooth without any scratches; there were scratches on the arm bones of the third corpse, but they were not formed, as if they had been bumped accidentally with excessive force; but the arm bones of the fourth corpse The letters in the book are much clearer, and the engravings are crooked, like a child who just learned to write, but considering the special nature of the 'paper' for writing, this is understandable; and the words engraved on the arm bone of the fifth corpse are It is much more beautiful, not only does it not have the stereotype of horizontal and vertical, but also reveals a bit of artistic design-like beauty.

"Before I found the commonality of the victims, I had suspected that the victims were more than these people." Sweets said, "Because it was obvious that the murderer was trying to use the corpse to send a message to someone. At first, he was inexperienced, like a Lengtouqing, only thought of engraving on the skin. The first time I did it, the victim was still alive. When the knife cut the skin, the wound turned outwards. The effect must be different from what he wanted, so it was attributed to I suspect that the first three victims were the murderer's experiments, he experimented on them to achieve the effect he wanted, and then got inspiration from the third victim, that is, in the bone This will prevent the words he left from being deformed and disappeared with the decay of the flesh. This is the role of those three people, this is the first stage of the murderer. After using the corpses, he buried them in In the deserted forest, a shallow grave was randomly dug as their resting place, like writing on waste paper..."

"The balls are thrown in the trash, and no one wants to unroll them for people to see." Issac received, "He wants to use this piece of paper to send a message to a person who is important to him, so the paper that sends the message must also be Clean and tidy, otherwise, it's disrespectful."

"Then there's the fourth dead body, the first body we've ever found, his body was found in a public place and the murderer had no intention of hiding it," Sweets said. "That was three and a half months ago, when we were unconscious It's a serial case, I just thought it was a little strange, because 'YOUARERIGHT' seemed too much like a mockery at the time. Until we later found three more bodies in the shallow grave, and then new victims appeared again, We found common ground between them, and I must admit, it's a relief."

"Huh?" Isaac was puzzled.

"From the point of view of the modus operandi, the murderer has been escalating. I once suspected that the victims were more than these five people." Sweets said, "However, after getting the jury list for that trial, I found that the murderer was not randomly selected. This defined the scope of his victims. With the selection criteria, he would no longer randomly attack people outside the criteria. Moreover, his crime frequency has always been very regular, with an interval of only one month between each time..."

"The fourth victim was half a month earlier, and the difference between the fifth victim and the fourth victim was three and a half months." Issac still remembers these two points in time, "The timing of the No.4 victim was advanced. It can be seen that he found a new inspiration from the third victim and couldn't wait to try it. And the No.5 victim put it off for so long..."

"Because he found a new method, tried it, and the result of the experiment basically satisfied him, so he didn't bury him in a shallow grave like he did with the first three victims, but showed him. However, There must be something wrong here. The person he wanted to convey didn't notice his message. I'm sure because it was a patrolman who found the body at the time. He blocked the scene immediately, and then the body disappeared. Sent to Jefferson, no one outside of the relationship saw the body. But I'm not sure if the murderer knew this, didn't take it to heart, or misunderstood it, and he was slow to act when the new victim showed up again At that time, his modus operandi escalated again." Sweets said, "But the interval between them was extended, so I think the murderer is a very self-controlled person, he did not lose control, and he can freely control the interval between committing crimes. , he is sensible."

"It doesn't take long to improve your skills if you're not rational." Isaac pointed to the notch on the bone, "The others don't look obvious, but this is the fifth victim's arm bone, from which we can see It turns out that the murderer did not hesitate at all when he cut the knife, using moderate force and doing it in one go. Before this, he must have practiced for a long time, so he will get used to it naturally. As a result, the final product is really natural."

"But that doesn't fit with our previous profile that the killer wouldn't target anyone who wasn't on the list," Sweets objected.

"The practice doesn't have to be on the human body. Is it difficult to find a bone with a density similar to that of the human bone to practice?" Issac insisted on his opinion, "No matter who the murderer is, he must have a lot of free time, and the carving skills are not short. A short assault in a few days can be very effective."

"Glen Trollpoe is innocent, he has ample alibi." Booth's voice came from behind.

Isaac glanced at his watch and saw that the time was passing quickly.

"The person who voted against was excluded, so, wasn't it because he couldn't see others who disagreed with him?" Sweets mused.

"Hey!" Isaac was dissatisfied and couldn't help reminding, "He's not the only one who voted against."

"Yes, and you." Booth didn't let this go, "but your alibi is more sufficient than GlenTrollpoe, unless you can teleport, otherwise..."

Booth followed the policy of not missing anything. How could Isaac be left behind? Although he didn't think Isaac was the murderer, it was still necessary to conduct investigations during the evidence collection process. Isaac's was the easiest to do, because when the victim disappeared, he was either on the plane or abroad, perfectly avoiding all time points, and allowing Booth to understand once again what kind of situation he kicked Sweets into. in the group.

Even so, he couldn't help but wonder, because Sweets wasn't showing up to him much less often.

Looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't like taking Sweets on field trips. Booth came to this conclusion with peace of mind, and became more determined to stop Sweets from going out to work.

The profiler should stay in the office obediently, be a clerk in peace and order, charge forward and so on, let him be such a reliable man.
