When Isaac woke up, the room was still dark, which made it difficult for him to tell what time it was.He guessed it was due to the blackout curtains, and before going to bed, in order to ensure a good sleeping environment, he closed the curtains.

Because when he fell asleep, it was already dawn.

Some things, once related to memories, people can't help but indulge in them.Those memories may be as sweet as honey, or as bitter as chocolate, but when you taste them again, they are always so mellow and strong.After the concert, Isaac and his group did not go back to the hotel directly, but found a bar nearby, and began to miss their old days. Alcohol is the best catalyst, which will make them endless, and they will not drink until the bar closes. Intoxicated, he called a taxi and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

Isaac didn't know if the others just came back and fell asleep, anyway, he had a mess with Reid, exhausted his strength and then sank into the dark with satisfaction.

"It's so depraved." Isaac enjoyed the silence, lying on the bed with one arm held by Reid, talking insincerely, not wanting to get up at all.

Until he heard the vibration of the phone.

Isaac counted in his head, secretly deciding that he would ignore the call if the number of vibrations did not exceed five.It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and the person on the other end of the phone is more persistent than he imagined.

Isaac could only throw up his hands in surrender.

Pulling his arm out of Reid's arms, Isaac, barefoot, dug out an old cell phone from among the scattered clothes on the floor.

"Hotch?" After seeing the name on it clearly, Isaac answered the phone. "Is there a problem?"

Couldn't it be that the plane back home is about to take off early?

"Come to me right away, we might have a new case," Hotch said before hanging up.

Isaac stared at the darkened phone screen, wondering if there was something wrong with his memory.Did they fly back to China while they were asleep?This is England, even if there is a case, what does it have to do with them?

In view of Hotch's consistent reliability, Isaac still called Reid.After a brief tidying up, the two hurried into the taxi.

At this time, Isaac regretted leaving the main force for the sake of the two-person world.

"What happened?" Reid finally woke up.

"I don't know." Isaac was fiddling with his mobile phone, and was depressed to find that the battery of the mobile phone ran out of power at some point. "Hotch let us go, didn't say anything."

"Is that the news van?" Reid looked out the window.

"This is London, big news is happening all the time." Isaac glanced at it and didn't care.

This sentence pleased Mr. Driver very well and gave him the desire to strike up a conversation, "I guess you are Americans, right?"

"That's right." Isaac admitted bluntly, free-spirited American English, which was too easy for a Cockney to discern.

"Are you here for a tour?"

"Well, sort of." Isaac didn't think that the murderer and the victim were a good topic to talk about, so he could only say something that was easy to accept, "For the concert last night, it was really worth it."

"You got the ticket? This is too enviable." Mr. Driver immediately had a conversation.

"That's definitely one of the things I don't regret the most." Isaac said without hesitation, "The feeling of being on the scene, Amazing! It makes people want to spew out all the energy."

"No wonder you look so tired." The driver smiled shortly, "It's five o'clock in the afternoon."

"The more depraved, the happier. Isn't it?" Isaac glanced out the window inadvertently, and another news car roared by. "Is there any big news today? It looks like the media is out of town."

"I finally believe that you just got up." The driver looked at the traffic lights ahead and stopped the car. "The guest of the concert last night, the singer Emma, ​​EmmaJully, she is missing."

"Missing?" Isaac's casualness finally stopped, "What happened?"

"Who knows?" Mr. Driver shrugged.

Isaac and Reid glanced at each other, vaguely aware of what Hotch had called them over for.

"It's so rare that you guys got up." Morgan opened the door for Isaac and Reid, and the first sentence was teasing.

"Don't tell me you haven't slept since you came back." Isaac replied casually, looking around.This is a temporary meeting room provided by the hotel. Garcia is holding the computer and flying his fingers, and news pictures are constantly enlarged on the white screen through the projector.

Morgan winked, "But I'm a bachelor."

Reid ignored the two boring bickering people, he went straight to Hotch and asked what happened.

"EmmaJully's assistant called the police and said that EmmaJully was missing." Hotch briefly explained the matter.

"It's just missing?" Reid looked at the news that kept refreshing on the white screen, "but the media reports..."

"It looks like she's been killed." JJ was terrified. As the one in BAU who deals with the media most often, she has a mutually beneficial relationship with the news media.But right now, the news media on TV and online seem to be having a frenzy.

"This is the specialty of Great Britain." Emily was also very emotional.

"What's this about dark food?" Reid was puzzled.

"It doesn't matter." Morgan walked over and rubbed Reid's hair, "It's another British specialty, the paparazzi. The members of the first family of Great Britain have suffered under their hands, what else can stop them?" ?”

"You guys don't seem in a hurry, so, I guess, it's not as serious as the media makes it out to be, is it?" Isaac asked.

"That's right, these big scenes are just caused by the media. They have seriously exaggerated the facts, and even the domestic people on the other side of the Atlantic have heard the news." Morgan didn't like these paparazzi. Add chaos, and inform the murderer.

Of course, the mass media call that the freedom of the news media, claiming to defend the public's right to know.

"We don't need to be dispatched this time. Scotland Yard will hold a press conference later to let the public know that all of this is a carnival directed and performed by the media." JJ frowned, "We thought this was indeed a celebrity event Missing cases, but Scotland Yard has found evidence on your way here, it's just Emma Jully's assistant being too sensitive."

"So, false alarm?" Isaac raised an eyebrow.

JJ nodded, confirming Isaac's guess.

"I won, you have dinner." Isaac turned his head and said to Reid.

"I feel like there's a story in it." Emily said seriously.

"Thanks to Hotch, Reid thinks that something big must happen if he told us to assemble. I think since the assembly location is here instead of the police station, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with BAU." Issac said, "So, we made a bet. "

Reid looked at Hotch pitifully and innocently.

Hotch remained unmoved, "Very well, everyone's dinner is settled."

Now there was one more person looking at Hotch pitifully.

"Do you remember that I was just a jobless young man who could only be supported by his fiancé?" he asked.

"Huh?" Hotch folded his arms and looked at Isaac.

"Gentlemen, stop your childish tricks, the press conference is about to begin." Garcia tried the microphone, "Well, the speaker is good."

"By the way, I chose the hotel as the meeting place because Scotland Yard has been surrounded by the media and can only communicate remotely, rather than knowing that we are not needed for this case." Before finding a good location, Hotch added said a word.

Isaac: I didn't feel comforted at all.You are so black-bellied, Hotch, your character design is shaky, you know?

But before taking his seat, Isaac asked Morgan for a mobile phone charger.

"No wonder your phone can't get through, and it keeps telling you to shut down." Morgan's mobile phone and Issac are of the same brand, and they are both Apples where changing the battery is equivalent to disassembling the phone.

"It's probably a battery problem. According to my estimation, the power should not be exhausted so quickly. This is a new phone I bought, and it has been used for less than two months." Isaac took the charger and pulled the chair closer Place the power outlet and start charging.

Lestrade's figure appeared on the white screen through the projector, which reminded Isaac of the scene at the beginning of "Summer of the Gods", only this time there was no Sherlock secretly tearing down the stage and making Lestrade flustered.

As soon as Lestrade sat down, the flashes went on one after another.This made him frown. If allowed, he would like to wear a pair of sunglasses.He still doesn't like the media so much, always making a trivial incident seem like the end of the world.

Unfortunately, those who can make decisions at Scotland Yard think he is best suited to deal with the media.Capable, qualified, and most importantly, have a good face.This is a new century, and it is only appropriate to use a good-looking face to establish a new image of Scotland Yard and gain popular support.

Lestrade tried the microphone and began speaking.

The situation in this case couldn't be simpler. The assistant lady got permission to play happily all night, and when she returned in the morning, she found that Emma Jully was gone.When she asked relevant people and still had no news, she decisively called the police.Although the disappearance did not exceed 24 hours, the particularity of Emma Jully's identity still caused Scotland Yard to call the police.So far, everything is in accordance with the procedures, but the wind leaked out of nowhere, and a large group of media flocked to interview the so-called 'Emma Jully disappeared inexplicably, the London police have intervened' news.

"The police found Emma Jully's message in her room. She is not missing, but decided to travel after finishing her farewell performance at the concert. We can confirm that all of this is her spontaneous behavior through the hotel's surveillance video , without any coercion." Lestrade tapped the microphone, "We are currently looking for EmmaJully, but please clarify the previous news that EmmaJully was coerced, kidnapped or even killed."

The media, who thought they had dug up big news, were a little confused. Even though Scotland Yard showed Emma's note and the hotel's surveillance video, they still refused to accept such a slap in the face.This is not the big news they want. If they don't dig something out, they will be sorry for their big battle today.

The reporters were only silent for a moment, and then fought back with greater enthusiasm.

"Are these reporters or paparazzi?" Morgan frowned, listening to those people's increasingly outrageous speculations, he felt that it was really not easy for the police in London.And those reporters, why even the speculation about elopement came out?Just a 12-year-old kid, is it necessary to be so malicious?

"Where did Emma go?" Garcia was extremely worried.

"No matter where she goes, under such a crazy situation, she can't continue his previous plan." JJ spoke sympathetically. The media is fueling the flames.

"Issac?" Reid found Issac's quiet, a little strange.

"I think, I know how my phone ran out of battery." Issac's voice was a little low, "Emma's departure is definitely not because of willfulness, she must have encountered some trouble."

In his hand, on the already lit phone screen, 23 missed calls and four short messages were clearly displayed.
