tell me what to do, Dr. Reid

The on-site appraisal personnel took fingerprints from all suspicious places on the scene, but they did not find any traces of intrusion, nor did they find any suspicious fingerprints.

Only Sarah's own fingerprints are on the keyboard of the laptop in the room.In other words, if Sarah hadn't cleared the hard disk data by herself, then the person who did it must have worn gloves.This shows that the guy probably has a criminal record.

It will take some time before garcia completes the hard disk data recovery.

During this time, Fiona studied the cases that Sarah participated in recently.In the last two months, they have successfully solved three premeditated murders and one attempted murder.The suspect in one of the premeditated murders committed suicide before being arrested, and the suspects in the other three cases are currently in prison.

Fiona's attention was drawn to the case of the suspect's suicide.It was a murder case caused by an inheritance dispute, and the suspect was 31-year-old Jimmy Geworth.He mistakenly killed his biological brother in anger because of inheritance disputes.When people from gbi arrived at his home, they found that he had committed suicide and left a suicide note.The suicide note was printed, so it was impossible to identify the handwriting, and no other suspicious points were found at the scene.

But Fiona inadvertently remembered the two cases she encountered before leaving gbi.In both cases, the suspect also committed suicide before they arrived.Is there any connection here?

Thinking of this, she suddenly decided to screen all the cases in the past six months.She soon discovered that in the last six months, four of the suspects had killed themselves before being apprehended.There's absolutely no way this could be a coincidence.

If it was Reid, he would definitely be able to use a series of convincing statistics to prove how low the probability of the suspect committing suicide is, not to mention the fact that similar incidents occurred consecutively in a short period of time.But Fiona has no conclusive evidence that the cases are indeed connected.If she raised questions to Agent Clark rashly, it might only arouse his disgust. After all, the most urgent thing now is not to study the closed cases, but to find the missing Sarah.

But Fiona vaguely felt that Sarah's disappearance might have something to do with these cases.And her idea was soon confirmed.

Garcia recovered a small part of the data in Sarah's hard drive, and found that Sarah's computer had saved a lot of Jimmy Egeworth's data.It looks like she is privately investigating egeworth.But why did she do this?

Maybe she also finds these serial suicides strange, Fiona guesses. Sarah is also an excellent detective with a keen sense of smell. Although her enthusiasm for work is not very strong, Fiona does not doubt her ability to handle cases.

In the end, Fiona asked another GBI agent to investigate all the suicide cases of GBI suspects in the past year, and the results were quite astonishing.

"Twenty-one cases," said the agent. "God, that's an unusual number. And fifteen of them were concentrated in the last six months."

Fiona thinks so too.

She decided to report the incident to Eden.

It has been more than a year since she entered Eden's office last time.Looking at the name plate of Agent Eden on the door, she suddenly remembered those days in GBI, which made her somewhat nostalgic.

The furnishings of Eden's office have hardly changed from more than a year ago.There were more pictures on the wall, and Fiona found herself in them without much effort.She stood between Sarah and Alick smiling at the camera, and the photo was hung in a relatively prominent position.

Fiona didn't stop to look at those photos carefully, but told Eden straight to the point what she had just done.

"So what's your idea, Agent Mars?" Eden asked. Fiona is no longer his subordinate, so his attitude at the moment is quite polite.

Fiona didn't bother to correct his mistake in address.

"—if these people really aren't suicidal, then there's probably a 'vigilante type' serial killer among us," Fiona said, "and he's going up significantly. Before we stop him , he won't stop."

She pushed information on one of the cases.

"The suspect who committed suicide was a 60-year-old man. He was extremely disgusted with modern technology and had nothing at home except a telephone. From the photos, it can be seen that the wall clocks in his home are all mechanical. But his suicide note is also Don’t you think it’s strange that you wrote it on the computer and printed it out? How can a person who hates technology use a computer to type?”

"Agent Clark noticed what you said." Eden said, "But there was nothing suspicious at the suicide scene."

"That is to say, we are probably dealing with a serial killer who knows a lot about on-site forensics." Fiona said calmly, "There is nothing surprising about that. In fact, he is probably a gbi agent himself. "

Eden glanced sharply at Fiona.

"Then what do you think this has to do with Sarah's disappearance?"

"I don't know." Fiona replied truthfully, "It may be related, or it may not be related."

"And these are just your guesses."

"Yes."

Eden sighed, and pushed the document back, "I'm sorry, Detective Mars, I will not agree to re-investigate these cases without solid evidence."

"It's because people who die are criminals, right?" Fiona said sharply.

Eden stared at Fiona and was silent for a moment, "You know what I mean. Don't be aggressive, Agent Mars."

At this time, the door of Eden's office was pushed open.

Agent Clark said with a serious expression: "Something happened. They found a body in the green near Sarah's house."

Soon, Fiona rushed to the scene where the body was found.Soon, the scene was surrounded by police cars and media vehicles.The place where the body was found was only two streets away from Sarah's house. Usually, few people came here. Occasionally, nearby residents would come here for a walk or jog.But at this moment, it was packed with people for the first time.

"A teenager walking his dog nearby found the body buried in the soil." A policeman at the scene said, standing in the shade, "—that's the one over there."

Fiona turned and saw the boy.He is leading a Labrador and taking notes with a female police officer.

The deceased is described as a middle-aged male who appeared to be in his 40s and was wearing a striped shirt and jeans.There was nothing on him that could prove his identity.

To be honest, when she heard that the body was found, Fiona thought it was Sarah for a moment.But when she heard that the deceased was a man, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang.

It was Garcia who called, and she said she had found something else.

"I found out that Sarah booked a plane ticket to San Francisco on the Internet three nights ago." Garcia said.

"Are you sure it was three days ago?"

"Sure, sweetheart," Garcia replied.

That's when Sarah returned to her apartment.She booked a flight to San Francisco as soon as she got home, why was she in such a hurry to get there? Fiona can't think of any friends Sarah has in San Francisco.She called Sarah's boyfriend Chris, and Chirs also said that she didn't know what Sarah was doing in San Francisco.

"By the way," Chris said suddenly, "I think I heard Sarah mention once that she was born in California—maybe in San Francisco?"

Fiona suddenly realized that she hadn't thought about investigating Sarah's information carefully.Probably because Sarah was her friend, and she had read Sarah's files before, she thought she knew Sarah well enough.

She quickly pulled up all the private files on Sarah Hopkins in the Bureau. Sarah was adopted by her current parents through a welfare agency when she was two years old and moved to Atlanta.

And before that?

——There is no information about Sarah's biological parents in the file.Fill in the column of biological parents: unknown.

Fiona suddenly felt a little guilty.She knew Sarah was adopted before, but she never asked Sarah about her biological parents.And Sarah herself never mentioned it.

Soon, technicians successfully determined the identity of the body through dental records.

The deceased is called Isaaccroft, aged 38.And his profession turned out to be a private detective.

Afterwards, Fiona and Agent Clark came to the private investigation company where the deceased was.

The person in charge of the company confirmed that Croft had just accepted a commission recently, and he was investigating someone according to the request of the client.

"Investigate who?" Fiona asked.

The expression of the person in charge immediately became very unnatural.She brushes her hair back, "I'm sorry, this is about our client's*—"

"Do you know what's going on, Miss?" Fiona interrupted her rudely, "One of your employees was murdered and buried in a park not far from here."

The person in charge looked a little disturbed, and she pursed her lips with purple lipstick.

"Stop, don't talk about it." She said, and took out a document from the drawer.

Fiona saw the photo on the document at a glance, and at this moment she understood the reason why the person in charge refused to tell them the truth at first.

The person in that photo is clearly Sarah Hopkins.

Fiona stared at the document, on which the client's name was written.

Why does the last name Hughes sound so familiar?She immediately remembered that she had just read the name from that pile of materials not long ago.

After leaving that company, Fiona called Reid.

As soon as the phone was connected, she immediately said, "Spencer, I need your help."

The author has something to say: suddenly found that this is 100 chapters...

In addition, it means that this case will not be very long~
