"Love me tenderly, love me sweetly, and don't let me go."

The soulful chant slowly floated in the car, Morgan tapped the steering wheel lightly, paying attention to the road conditions outside the car window, "The first girl I dated when I was a teenager was a fan of Elvis Presley, and I spent a lot of money to pursue her." A lot of energy went into practicing playing the guitar."

Sitting in the back row, Gideon, who didn't want everyone to be overly affected by negative emotions, asked with a smile: "How is the effect?"

Morgan cooperated and showed a helpless expression, "This first love that ended in less than three months has proved from the side that I am more suitable for holding a gun."

"In fact, it is very difficult for truly fanatical fans to get out of the influence of their idols. Not only will they deliberately imitate their idol's words and deeds, but they will even draw a standard line in their hearts when choosing a partner."

Inadvertently seeing Morgan's wonderful eyes in the rearview mirror, Reid pursed his lips, and emphasized emphatically: "I want to say that it is normal for you to break up, and it has nothing to do with whether you can play the guitar or not."

Carefully parked the car outside the cordon, Morgan turned his head and said amidst the smiles of the team members: "Thank you for your comfort, although it came a bit late."

"Okay detectives, let's get back to the case."

Hodge reminded before opening the door: "The murderer has not much time left for us."

As the director of the BAU team, what Alan Hodge has done most in the past is to subtly guide the team members to do the most suitable things at the right time. Even if he has given Gideon enough trust, he will not forget own responsibility.

"Criminal crimes across four states within a year show that the unknown suspect is quite courageous and thoughtful." Gideon added.

At least in the previous three crime scenes, the police did not find a shred of useful evidence.From this point of view alone, this series of cases can already be listed as a classic case of perfect homicide.

"The thrill of seeing a life disappearing in his hands surpasses everything. Unless someone finds him, he will never stop."

Hodge said and pushed open the closed door, "At least the tragedy happening before me has proved this."

As if opening Pandora's box, a crimson room gradually appeared in the eyes of the six people, and the bloody smell that rushed to their faces made everyone feel a deep-seated coldness.

"How do you say that? One step forward is hell."

As the female policewoman with the highest detection rate in Seattle for three consecutive years, Al thought she was used to various types of murder scenes, but she was still shocked by this dazzling red after many battles.

"The victim turned himself," Zhen Zhen described while looking at the case materials in her hand, trying not to mix personal impressions: "or the murderer turned him into a human fountain, imagine a person hanging from the ceiling being rotated at high speed What will happen after the fan blade twists the neck."

This beautiful blonde is not only the group's external press liaison officer, but also the best person to communicate with the victims' families with her non-aggressive and gentle temperament.

"The human body loses more than 25% of blood, that is to say, it will reach a state of shock in 48 seconds, and there will be a danger of death if it exceeds 1 minute. The most important thing is that the amount of blood ejected from the rupture of the carotid artery far exceeds 25ml/second."

With rubber-gloved fingers, Rhett picked up the only surviving card and the white rose, "It looks like these two signs must have been blocked by something, otherwise it would be impossible to paint the whole room." Skip them alone."

"It's an amazing thing, isn't it?"

Gideon spread his hands, "In such a room filled with heavy oppressive colors, there is actually a small piece of pure and pure land, although the impression they leave on people is extremely dark."

"It's a sacrifice and a baptism."

The handsome and stable supervisor Hodge expressed his opinion, "Perhaps in the mind of the unknown suspect, the victim's blood is dirty and unclean, so it is not worthy of polluting the symbols he left behind."

"Okay, it's time to connect with our computer queen and ask her to tell us how the victim in this case is similar to the previous three."

While speaking, Morgan dialed the phone and greeted with a smile, "Hi, sweetheart, I think you already know why I'm here, we need your help."

On the other end of the phone, a fat girl dressed like a visitor from a magical world joked very dramatically: "This is the omnipotent Garcia, give your soul, and say your wish!"

"Oh baby, did you know Hodge was there?"

Morgan smiled and rolled his eyes, "Give me the victim's detailed information, the key point is whether he has a criminal record."

"Okay, let me see the latest dead Edward Smith, ah, what a lucky bad boy."

Garcia briefly introduced his life, "Edward, 25 years old this year, is the only son of Rolf Smith, a well-known Tennessee real estate agent. But the ending, because he has a good father, you should know."

"However, one of the most appalling things he did in his short life happened seven years ago when Edward Smith and his girlfriend, Daisy Keller, who was a year older than him, had an accident while rock climbing in the wild on their graduation trip. When the police rushed to the scene of the incident for rescue in the shortest possible time, there was only one person left at the scene. Edward claimed afterwards that his girlfriend cut the rope at a life-threatening emergency and left the chance of survival to himself.”

Garcia exclaimed in disbelief: "This incident was a sensation in the local area, but unfortunately the case was not finalized due to insufficient evidence. Oh, the poor pretty girl was buried under the cliff just like that, and she claimed that she would live on her behalf It's unbelievable how a sad boyfriend who misses his lover forever becomes a promiscuous scum!"

Morgan looked at the officer who never seemed to smile, and said with a complicated expression: "I think we have got the most important clue, thank you baby!"

"Okay, more detailed information has been sent to you, please be safe, bye!" Garcia, who had completed the task, ended the call on the other end.

The murder scene was quiet for a while, Gideon took the card with a few words "Imissyou" written in beautiful cursive characters from Rhett's hand, and said with a heavy heart: "Stay in the silent valley far away." There were two traces of people, but only one person left alive. No one has answered the experience, but it is obvious that this is the reason why the murderer found the victim."

Just like the three victims before, whether it is the glamorous high-ranking official daughter, the successful family heir who loves public welfare, or the taciturn postman, they all have a common characteristic hidden under the harmless appearance, that is With one or more life debts.

"In this way, what we are looking for is a vigilante? Or the executioners of criminals who escaped legal sanctions through family power?" Rhett softly broke the silence of everyone.

"No, we're looking for a serial killer."

Hodge said seriously and seriously: "When a person evolves to stand on the commanding heights and despise the dignity and pain of the same kind, no matter what his original intention is, he is just a killer."

Killers are neither good nor evil.

Hodge couldn't help but think of himself, and because he didn't want to bring comfort to others after suffering, and was determined to end all this before the nightmare happened, he resolutely gave up his stable identity as a public prosecutor to enter The FBI Behavior Analysis Department needs to face all kinds of heinous criminals.

Then how did the murderer transform from a fantasy law enforcer into a real perpetrator? When he contacted the victim, did he also bring himself into the role of the earliest innocent people who uttered silent cries? Is it because you have shared too much pain that you no longer want to bear it, and you have gone astray?

"Hodge?"

Gideon interrupted his contemplation, "Later, Rhett and I will visit the neighbors nearby to see if there are any neglected places. Al and Zhenzhen are in charge of contacting the local police and media, you and Morgan How about going to the victim's family? Maybe we can get more clues from him."

Judging from the hidden identities of the four victims, the insider who knows exactly the truth in their hearts that most resists being noticed by the world, if they are not hiding in the confessional room of the church, must have played a role in the lives of the victims. unknown character.

Even if he is inconspicuous, he has never been taken seriously.

Compared with the few partners who readily accepted, Morgan slapped his forehead and screamed strangely when he heard the tasks assigned to him, "Oh, I hope that Mr. Real Estate Developer won't be as unreasonable as the previous state congressman. The detectives responsible for handling the case are regarded as enemies who are ready to pull him down!"

State, Smith Properties Headquarters.

After a brief conversation, the two agents easily met the victim's closest family member, a grieving father.

"Sit down, gentlemen, I'm sorry, but there is nothing to entertain you."

Rolf Smith suppressed his tears and sat on the sofa, trying to control his emotions and said: "I don't know what else I can do for you? Last time the inspector took away all the available physical evidence gone."

"Mr. Smith, we are here today to ask you about Edward's private life."

Hodge first asked: "Do you have any impression of the people Edward usually contacts?"

"I never interfered with his circle of life."

Rolf covered his cheeks and said in a hoarse voice: "First of all, I have to admit that I am not a good father. I am exhausted from being busy with work every day. Health, sleep and even normal family life have been lost many years ago. Get away from me, and separated from me because of this wife, although we haven't officially gone through the divorce procedures, but I don't think there is any difference."

"As for Edward, all I can give him is a credit card and everything he can think of and I can get it. I can't remember when my well-behaved and sensible son turned into a rebellious and terrifying look. He smokes, drinks alcohol, stays out all night and even touches drugs, all the bad boys you can think of can be found in him."

"I was completely desperate for him until he met Daisy Keller."

Rolf, who was immersed in the past, unconsciously showed a trace of nostalgia, "Daisy is really the kindest and gentle girl I have ever met. She is smart, brave, self-loving and tolerant. She is Saved Edward from the brink of depravity. Since the two of them began to fall in love, I received a text message from my son on Christmas for the first time."

"Gentlemen, can you imagine the happiness of being suddenly redeemed?" Rolf asked tearfully.

Hodge and Morgan looked at each other, nodded and said, "Yes, we can understand."

"I am very grateful to Daisy in my heart, and I even planned to sponsor them to go to the best university together. Who knows, God still cruelly abandoned us father and son after giving me the last ray of hope."

Rolf held his suit pants tightly with both hands, "Since Daisy's death, Edward has become the same again, as if he had never changed. Until I got the news of his death from the police."

"Mr. Smith, please allow me to ask a question."

Morgan tried to lead the topic to the unknown suspect, "Are there any people around Edward who are hostile to him? For example, your competitors, or Daisy's relatives?"

"You mean Joyce?"

Rolf wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and said confidently: "No, it wouldn't be him. If it was really because of Daisy's death, he would have done that seven years ago."

"Why are you so sure that a father will spare the murderer who indirectly caused his daughter's death?" Hodge asked.

The feeling of these two families is too strange, especially Smith, as the victim's father, will exclude the person who hates the most in the family in the first place.

Rolf was silent for a long time before reorganizing his language and describing a case of revenge and wounding that had not been fully completed.

"Joyce was a truck driver. After his wife died of illness, he raised his daughter alone. At that time, because of the two children, our relationship was very close, and we almost talked about everything. Until the accident, everything changed. It got bad. Daisy had only been dead a month, and he couldn't take the loss of his daughter and tried to run over me with his car, but turned the steering wheel at the last moment."

Speaking of this, Rolf covered his eyes in pain again, and said in tears, "Maybe he changed his mind at the beginning not because he forgave me because he was magnanimous, but because he hoped that I could live to accept the punishment, just like now..."

Given Mr. Smith's emotional outburst, it is impossible to continue the conversation at this point.

The sad cry of the victim's father seemed to be echoing in his ears. Morgan couldn't help but glanced at the office building shining in the sun again when he left. "What makes you tolerate people who try to hurt you?"

Hodge, who had been thinking for a while, gave the answer in his heart, "Love, or guilt."
