Seattle

Lin Ning soon waited for the bus to go to the Pacific Science Center. It was far from the off-duty time, the traffic was smooth, and the passengers on the bus were sparse.

Lin Ning put a coin into the car, and she subconsciously profiled the driver and passengers at the first sight—this is the conditioned reflex taught by Gideon’s words and deeds in the past three months—the profiling results show, They are just ordinary people, and there is nothing special to pay attention to.

Lin Ning chose a seat and sat down, put his mobile phone in his jacket pocket, and exposed the camera so that the White Queen could share the view with her.

The White Queen asked, "Why do you want to go to the Pacific Science Center?"

Lin Ning: "Huh?"

The White Queen said in a sticky tone: "The Pacific Science Center is a multi-arch Gothic building, which houses a laser theater, an acoustic movie theater, a planetarium, a children's theater, and seven animals from the movie "Jurassic Park". Various displays of dinosaur models, etc. The main purpose of this center is to teach children to learn scientific knowledge, and gradually guide their interest in science—this is how it was introduced on Google.”

Lin Ning: "...I understand what you mean now. I think I need to explain. I only know about the Pacific Science Center, but I don't know that it is mainly for minors."

Lin Ning immediately changed the topic: "But there is nothing wrong with going to have a look."

Since it is aimed at minors, compared with other landmark buildings, the chance of unpredictable things happening is relatively low, right?

Lin Ning was really afraid of her passive skills.

Ten minutes later, the bus arrived at the bus stop near the Pacific Science Center. Lin Ningshi got off the bus and the bus drove away slowly.

Then Lin Ning entered the Pacific Science Center with his city passport and took a brochure of the Pacific Science Center in the lobby. On the last page of the brochure was a plane map of the Pacific Science Center. Lin Ning subconsciously read more One glance, and then flipped through other content.

When she flipped through the promotional page of the planetarium, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows. "Well--"

The White Queen said with a tacit understanding: "It turns out that the meteorite was placed here for exhibition."

Lin Ning pointed out: "I thought it would have a better place." For example, the Ministry of National Defense, or the military.

The meteorite they were talking about fell on the earth a few months ago, and when it passed through the atmosphere, the NEMESIS satellite system scanned it and found that its core contained an extremely rare The substance, tantalum 181, has the most lethal use in nuclear bombs, that is, tantalum 181 is used to wrap nuclear weapons and transform them into tantalum 182 explosives, which will enhance the dust reflexivity of nuclear weapons to a certain extent, and cause weapons The killing area is larger, the duration is longer, and the lethality is greater.Such a rare substance, the military will let it go like this?

"I'm skeptical," Lin Ning turned his eyes, lowered his head and continued to flip through the brochure, and whispered to the White Queen, "I just hope that it won't attract bees and butterflies today."

The White Queen said solemnly: "There is not enough data, I am sorry that I cannot tell you the probability of this happening, but if you are interested, I can calculate it."

Lin Ning: "..." She realized a little bit how she felt in the restaurant when the attempted robbery despised her and Gideon tried to comfort her. Whoever has a low EQ is justified.

Adhering to this principle, Lin Ning did not spoil the White Queen's interest. Instead, he did this complicated calculation with her. When the result was obtained, Lin Ning also came to the planetarium to make a profile of the meteorite.

no……

It is to visit the planetarium.

At this time, there were not many visitors in the planetarium. The children who came to the Pacific Science Center were more interested in robotic dinosaurs, virtual reality football, or the butterfly house, and the parents who accompanied them naturally showed their interests. For the first time, Lin Ning quickly finished the rough profile, and came to an astronomical telescope to look at it casually.

After a while, a footstep caught Lin Ning's attention.

Compared with the bulky and irregular footsteps of other people, this footstep is steady and powerful, and the interval between the footsteps is almost the same, which means that each step of this person is about the same distance. If he is not very talented, then It is through systematic training.

Lin Ning is more inclined to the latter.

The owner of the footsteps finally stopped in front of the planetarium guide, and then the two had a harmonious exchange about Orion.The appearance of the guide immediately appeared in Lin Ning's mind, from his hair to the style of the shoes he wore, and finally it was fixed on the guide's wrist. He was wearing a Rolex watch, and his other clothes were all the same. Just average.

Of course, that Rolex watch can be given by someone else.

Although the clothes of the guide were not famous brands, he was neatly tidied up, and the cologne smell on his body was not too strong. Moreover, when he was introducing astronomical knowledge to the visitors, it was obvious that he enjoyed it a lot. The attention of others, that is to say, he is a person with a great desire to show off, but he did not show off the Rolex watch intentionally or unintentionally, but tried to keep a "high" profile - his desire to show off made him unable to Wearing the watch, then leads him to wear the watch an inch above his wrist.

So the origin of this Rolex watch is unknown?

Lin Ning thought without taking his eyes off the astronomical telescope, and then considered the meteorite exhibited in the planetarium. Lin Ning suddenly felt that she said that she hoped that the meteorite would not attract bees and butterflies today, and it was very likely that she had set up a flag.

Lin Ning let out a soft 'tsk'.

White Queen: "Emilia?"

Just as Lin Ning was about to say something, there was a commotion outside the planetarium, accompanied by piercing screams of panic, and someone else was shouting: "Call 911!"

Lin Ning: "..."

Lin Ning's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

There was nothing to love but nothing to love, Lin Ning turned the binoculars to the place where the accident took place before he complained: a middle-aged man was lying in a pool of blood, and beside him stood a man who was too frightened to move. The little girl, she looks to be six years old, and the suspect?

The suspect was a young girl less than 20 years old. She stabbed the middle-aged man's carotid artery with a switchblade in her left hand.Her complexion didn't match such unhurried movements, she was very pale, and even a little ferocious, which didn't look very natural.

In this way, the suspect finished his murder in full view, and then handed the switchblade stained with scarlet blood to the little girl next to him.The little girl tightly held a doll in both hands. If she wanted to tie the knife, she would have to throw the doll away.

At this time, the security guard came after hearing the news, and pointed his gun at the suspect: "Put down the knife!"

The suspect ignored them, but the hand she offered stopped, and after a while she moved the knife to her right hand and threw it out viciously.

As soon as the sharp switchblade touched the marble floor, it made a crisp clang.

With tears in his eyes, the suspect stepped forward and hugged the frightened little girl, comforting her gently: "It's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine."

The security guards came forward to subdue her. Facing the thick and thick security guards, she shrank her shoulders and avoided meeting the security guards in her eyes.She was resisting their approach, and this resistance was not only because she committed the crime just now, but also because she rejected close contact with men, which formed an extreme contrast with the methodical way she pierced the victim's carotid artery before. sharp contrast.

Lin Ning: "??"

In the end, the suspect did not resist and was captured by the security guards. The people who watched the murder had already called the police. I believe the police will come soon.

And this seems to be a simple and clear murder case. The suspect is on the spot, there are so many witnesses, and the murder weapon is lying quietly not far away. This case can be filed immediately with the district attorney, and there is no need to any kinks.But in Lin Ning's view, it was far from that simple. She was referring to the suspect itself, not the murder case itself.

Lin Ning left the Rolex guide and his 'friends' behind, walked out of the planetarium, and whispered to the White Queen: "There is a monitoring at ten o'clock, although the angle is not quite right."

"Wait," Lin Ning called out to the White Queen after scanning around, "I think someone captured the murder process."

The White Queen said, "I've already pulled out the surveillance video."

Lin Ning thought about the time difference, and just wanted to complain: "The Pacific Science Center's firewall is so weak, where did they come up with the idea to exhibit that meteorite?" '

To complain, Lin Ning still approached the visitor holding the camera.The other party, as a parent, was holding a video camera to take pictures of his child, and his child was running towards him from the other side. It can be said that they were separated from the scene of the crime before, and they were extremely frightened. , this parent just held up the camera in a daze, and should have filmed the whole process.

This is indeed the case.

Lin Ning was caught by the other party's camera when she dropped her hand, and then quickly played back the screen in a very short time. He saw the suspect approaching the victim, and then took out a switchblade and slashed at the victim's shoulder. But who was the victim? A middle-aged man with a strong body, when he was suddenly attacked, he would naturally think of resisting while suffering the pain, especially when the suspect was a young girl who looked weak.

The suspect was caught off guard by this turn of events, so the victim restrained his right hand holding the switchblade, and the victim felt pain and anger, so he swung his fist at the suspect, and the suspect immediately slapped his foot, the victim simply It was so painful that he let go of the hand that clamped the suspect's right wrist.

What happened next, Lin Ning has seen with his own eyes.

Now, Lin Ning almost realized the crux of the matter:

The suspect is likely to suffer from multiple personality disorder, which caused her split personality.

Just look at it, when she went to cut the victim, she looked anxious and hesitant, holding the knife with her right hand, and when she received the victim's strong counterattack, she didn't know what to do Yes, but she quickly fought back.Then her whole body language changed, she became calm and confident. When she murdered the victim again, she used her left hand to hold the knife, and changed the slash with less damage to a more lethal stab. The victim's carotid artery was cut open.

Later, when this personality handed the murder weapon to the little girl, the cowardly personality came out again and threw the knife aside, and the one who was subdued by the security guards was also the personality who just chopped up the victim.

And Lin Ning is not quite sure whether this timid personality is the master personality - under normal circumstances, the emergence of the second personality is because the master personality has suffered too much pressure from the outside world, usually long-term physical and mental abuse , this tremendous pressure is beyond the limit that the main personality can bear, the main personality is mentally broken, but the body needs the support of the personality, and when the main personality has been abused for a long time, he will imagine that someone will save him and protect him. It is also the main reason why the second personality generally appears as the protector of the main personality.

The second personality is indeed stronger than the main personality, both physically and mentally.

But in this case now, it was the cowardly personality who took the initiative to attack, and she didn't switch back when someone like the security guard approached her, who symbolized great pressure.

Of course, Lin Ning can only make rough inferences based on the information she has.

There are two other things that Lin Ning is very concerned about. First, from the video, the suspect does not know the victim, and the clothes on her body do not fit well. Lin Ning boldly guesses that she is mentally ill. How did the suspect get from the mental hospital to the Pacific Science Center?

The second is the relationship between the victim and the little girl. It is true that they are together, most likely a father-daughter relationship, but in the video, the victim is in high spirits, while the little girl is silent. She is holding onto her doll tightly. That doll is not New, the clothes on the doll are tattered, there are stains on the neck and face, as if they were smeared, and the little girl is wearing a very beautiful necklace, but it is not something she would wear at her age. The style is too mature, more suitable for adults to wear.

It’s not like Lin Ning has never seen this pattern before. It’s a father who molested and even raped his daughter, and the father is a pedophile. After he hurt his daughter, he would buy gifts to appease her——serial child molestation Everyone does this, give them gifts.

If this is the case, the little girl's doll is so dirty, it is most likely the little girl's self-loathing for herself, thinking that she is like a doll.

And this may also be the stimulating point that triggers the suspect to act, and the suspect himself has such an experience.

This kind of recognition made Lin Ning's mood drop to the bottom. She obviously came to relax, not to encounter such a depressing case, so she needed the white queen to give her some "sugar": "Today is really bad See through."

White Queen: "What happened?"

She paused and added a suffix: "Sweetheart."

This title was indeed very sweet, which made Lin Ning recover a lot of blood, and then she received a call from Gideon.

After connecting, Gideon asked directly, "Where are you?"

Lin Ning said, "What's wrong?"

Gideon said, "The news is on the Pacific Science Center murder."

Lin Ning was silent.

Gideon stated, "There you are."

Lin Ning: "...um."

Gideon was silent too.

What Lin Ning can do, she can only change the subject, strictly speaking, as before, first talk about her views on the murder case: "It is preliminarily inferred that the victim may be a child molester, and the suspect suffers from schizophrenia."

Gideon: "Come here first."

Then, no more.

Lin Ning stared at the screen of the mobile phone that displayed "Call ended", thought for a while that he had called so quickly, but he didn't have a word of concern, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a shame to be so upright at such a young age." okay? '

(Gideon: "...")

Lin Ning still listened to Gideon's father very much. After she put the phone back in her pocket, she was about to leave. When she was about to walk to the gate, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Erica! Erica, is that you?"

It's Mark Foster.

Mark Foster walked over quickly from the opposite side, with uncontrollable excitement in his expression: "Erica, it's really you." There was a mother and daughter standing where he was originally standing, it seems that they are a pair Up at the Pacific Science Center.

Noticing that Lin Ning was looking at them, Mark Foster felt a little uncomfortable: "That's my friend."

Without waiting for Lin Ning to say anything, Mark Foster hurriedly said: "Erica, you look very good, but why haven't you come back these years? Even Maria... I'm sorry, I shouldn't Mention her."

Lin Ning interrupted, "I have to go."

Mark Foster: "Erica—"

Lin Ning left as soon as he said that, and his face was still sinking. This was not because of Mark Foster's self-talk, but because the White Queen told her just now that a bus in Wilmington exploded, causing Two people died and seven were injured.

The BAU has contacted the local police station and they will be there immediately.

The Homeland Security Bureau also sent people over, and the White Queen immediately got the inside information, that is, this was a premeditated terrorist threat, and the bombing of the bus was just the beginning.Among the two people who were killed in the bombing was Dr. Alan Webster, who had made great achievements in the field of artificial life. He taught at the University of Delaware and was also a special consultant of NEMESIS. There was a cooperation project between them .And as far as they knew, it was impossible to tell whether Alan Webster was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or whether the terrorists were targeting him specifically.

White Queen: "Do you want to come back?"

Lin Ning: "Yeah." Wilmington is the headquarters of NEMESIS, and now Alan Webster is involved. Lin Ning has to go back because of emotion and reason.

After Lin Ning hurriedly left, Mark Foster looked back at her back, and he frowned.To be honest, if it wasn't for Erica's response to his call, he would have thought that he had admitted the wrong person. After all, his daughter had really changed a lot, and she seemed to be in high spirits, which was completely different from the drastic change in her temperament that he sometimes thought.

"Mr. Foster?"

Mark Foster came back to his senses and looked at the man who greeted him, "Dr. Louis, why are you here? Are you here to visit too?" Dr. Louis is the psychiatric hospital where Maria Blunt was imprisoned Although it is difficult for his doctor, Mark Foster, to understand his ex-wife's morbid psychology, he still visited her in a mental hospital with humanitarianism.

Dr. Louis smiled and said, "Forgive me, was that girl your daughter just now? Or did you recognize the wrong person? I don't think you have much conversation."

Mark Foster shook his head: "No, it's Erica, but she's probably still blaming me."

Dr. Louis narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his usual gentle tone: "You can't blame Maria for what happened. Munchausen's syndrome is not easy to detect. After all, how could we think that she would attack our daughter, right? And Erica, I think I'll figure it out."

Mark Foster doesn't give much hope: "Let's hope so."

Dr. Louis stopped talking, talked to Mark Foster for a few more words, and said goodbye to Mark Foster.

Wilmington

The BAU arrived in Wilmington as quickly as possible, and after getting off the plane, they drove directly to the scene of the accident. The local police department has put the area on alert.

Red gets off the driveway: "So Wilmington is where 'everything' comes from."

Morgan frowned and said, "We have to figure out what the so-called 'everything' is? I only thought of DuPont Chemical Company and nylon stockings." Wilmington has a well-developed chemical industry and is the headquarters of DuPont Chemical Company and its research The location of the institution, and the nylon stockings produced in Wilmington are world famous.

Rhett puffed his face: "I don't think nylon stockings should be the cause of the attack by unknown elements."

Rossi cleared his throat and said, "If it's a personal bomber, the reason may only be important to him personally."

The deputy director in charge of the case, Sid Thomas, after introducing each other, they cut to the chase.

"Is the bomb identified?" Hodge asked.

Sid Thomas said: "Looks like a roadside bomb attached to an umbrella."

Morgan said: "I want to see the debris as soon as possible. I have experience with the bomb squad."

Sid Thomas nodded: "I will give it to you after the number is numbered."

When the explosion occurred, it had just entered the rush hour. The bus was full of people, including the driver, a total of 30 people, and the death toll was two. Emily asked a question: "There was an explosion on a bustling bus, And only two people died?"

Sid Thomas said: "There was only a small amount of explosives, and the deceased was sitting near the bomb."

"Have you been in contact with the other passengers?" Hodge asked.

Sid Thomas took out his notepad, "I have their phone numbers if you need them."

Hodge: "Do you have a place for them?"

Sid Thomas: "What?"

"Their seats on the bus," Hodge turned to JJ and said, "JJ, I need you to contact all the passengers and draw their seat pictures."

Rossi asked a key question: "Does anyone remember what the unknown looks like?"

Sid Thomas shook his head: "No one paid special attention to this before the incident happened, but after it happened, it was too late, and the passengers vaguely recalled that it was a young man. There is no roadside surveillance here, so we just There’s no way to start with that.”

Rossi said in a deep voice, "The unknown person is from Wilmington."

Sid Thomas was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Rossi said: "He has a good sense of place and time, and only a local can know the street like this."

Then Hodge distributed the task. He and JJ went to hold a press conference. Rossi and Emily went to look around and ask if there were any possible witnesses. Reid followed Morgan to analyze the explosives and Bomb regrouping.

Not to mention the other two groups, just talk about Reid and Morgan. They quickly reassembled the bomb and got useful information.In addition to the fact that there are few known explosives and the fragments are easy to find, there is also a pattern engraved on the bomb, which is likely to be the identity tag of an unknown person or reveal some information.

And how to describe this very likely and critical pattern?

Morgan looked at it for a while and said, "What the hell is this? A tombstone with wings?" The tombstone is not square yet, but the upper half is slightly wider.

Rhett also leaned over and took a closer look: "I don't think so."

Morgan raised one eyebrow: "You say."

Reid said seriously: "I think it's a robot with no head but wings."

Morgan glanced at the indescribable pattern again, and then at Rhett: "Are you serious?"

Reid nodded. In order to convince Morgan, he took out a pen and paper, and drew a simple robot on a blank page, which was three square blocks stacked together, with a small square on top, and a A relatively large square, with two standing rectangles below to represent the legs, at first glance it seems to be a bit like a robot.

Red then folded the stick figure's head over and painted the legs together, showing Morgan that the remaining part was almost identical to the pattern engraved on the bomb.

Morgan believed this evil, "Then how do you explain those two wings?"

Reid also said that it is not very good, "If it is just a robot pattern without a head, I will think that the unknown person is a neo-Luddite-etc. Opponents of industrialization, automation, digitalization or all new technologies. Speaking of which, The buses in Wilmington are all smart buses.”

Morgan: "?"

Reed explained: "Introduced in newspapers, smart buses integrate mobile phones, buses and mobile Internet concepts. Passengers can use mobile phones to check the bus arrival time, and bus operators can collect and process information through intelligent means. Science It has not been implemented in Wilmington for a long time, and it is said that it is the technical support provided by NEMESIS.”

Morgan: "Wait, doesn't NEMESIS make medical products? They make an ointment for open wounds, and my house is equipped with it."

Reid nodded: "NEMESIS is indeed. It started with a medical project and received an investment of [-] million US dollars from the pharmaceutical giant Landis. That project was to manufacture magnetic nanoparticles to target cancer cells. Deliver the medicine."

Morgan: "Oh—" He didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't know what nanoparticles were, so he just uttered a meaningless syllable.

But Rhett nodded: "I know, it will change the world. No, it has already begun to change the world, not to mention this project that received a large investment from Landis, which is what Morgan you said is used to treat open wounds The ointment, it breaks the limit of what all the open wound ointments in the world can do in the past—"

Morgan: "...Let's study these two wings first. I seriously doubt that the unknown is a soul painter like you. Don't look at me like that, you are a soul painter." Reid once met a A high school student who has the potential to become a serial killer, he drew a sketch and asked Garcia to help find someone. Garcia looked dazed after reading it, and couldn't believe that there would be such a person in the third dimension, and he was also a real soul painter .

Spencer Soul Painter Reed looked aggrieved.

At this time, the founder of NEMESIS had already returned to Wilmington. Before she came back, she informed Gideon, but Gideon didn't ask her why she wanted to go back to Wilmington. He just said, " Take care of yourself", Lin Ning choked back.

After Lin Ning returned to Wilmington, he came directly to the underground base. The White Queen saw her coming back and greeted her: "Do you want to read the information about this bombing, Emilia?"

Lin Ning nodded.

Then, a translucent projection screen glowing with blue light lit up in front of Lin Ning.Lin Ning reached out and swiped on the screen, and the small screens rolled up one by one. She saw JJ's figure on one of them, and dragged that one over. It was JJ who was holding a press conference facing the media, wearing a JJ, dressed in business attire and with blond hair, looked elegant and decent. She said: "We are still evaluating the whole thing. The initial report shows that it is a bomb, but no one has come forward to admit it. We do not rule out that it is because of the bus mechanism. fault on the

Lin Ning: "If I remember correctly, Wilmington's bus system was funded by us to upgrade it?"

The White Queen: "Your memory never fails, so should I interpret your statement as a rhetoric for your dissatisfaction with the failure of the bus mechanism?"

Lin Ning: "...I actually just want to draw out what I'm going to say next."
