When the world needs to be saved, the most elite team on Earth will show up. - "Penguins of Madagascar"

**

Eleven, Rhett and Emily arrived at the missing place of the school bus at around noon.

A big black SUV was parked on the side of the road, and Eleven pushed open the door and got out.

A road stretching straight under the sun, remote and silent, with nothing but tall trees on both sides, let alone witnesses.

The modus operandi of the unknown suspect is not difficult to guess. In 1976, a school bus was robbed in Chowchilla, California. The suspect pretended that the car broke down and stopped the school bus. 26 students and a driver were kidnapped.Fortunately, there were no casualties in the end.

Eleven didn't pay attention to the information revealed in the conversation between Rhett and Emily. Standing in the bright sunshine, she sniffled and turned her head to ask Rhett, "Did you smell it?"

"What?" Rhett sniffed vigorously, nothing special.

Eleven said: "Flower fragrance."

The encyclopedia Dr. Rhett said: "The state flower of Tennessee is the iris, but here—" he looked around, there are many trees, big and small, "—there are no flowers."

Eleven shook his head: "Not only irises, but also other, um... the fragrance of many kinds of flowers mixed together. There must be a flower field near here."

But Garcia checked around and said no.

Eleven frowned.She looked at the tall trees on the side of the road, and felt a little discouraged. In the past, she jumped up earlier, and it was clear if there were any flower fields.

She looked at the tree, Rhett squinted his eyes and stood in the sun with his hands in his trouser pockets looking at her. Seeing her frowning, he was about to say something when the phone rang.

It was Hotch calling, saying the school bus was found.

Reid hung up the phone, but told Emily to let her go first, and he and Eleven would look for clues nearby.

Emily glanced at them, nodded and left.

Reid turned to face Eleven: "Let's go too."

Eleven wondered: "Where are you going?"

Rhett said, "Look for the flower field."

After listening to Eleven, she smiled and wanted to jump on him.

Rhett quickly stopped her: "Agent Eleven, you are investigating the case now."

Eleven immediately turned serious and nodded solemnly.Then he closed his eyes and sniffed vigorously with his nose, stretched out his hand and said, "This way!"

Rhett held back a smile and followed her, like a little police dog.

It's true that Reid doesn't want Eleven to be disappointed, and it's also true to investigate the case.If there were indeed flower fields nearby, there might be eyewitnesses. Hotch just called to say the school bus was found, but it was empty and the children were still missing.

After walking about two miles, in an open space, I really found a large flowerbed.

But when he really saw this flower field, Eleven was not very happy, because most of the flowers in this large flower field were withered and dying.

Most of the poisons in Xianren Valley come from flowers and plants. Master even specially developed a medicine called "Tianxianglu" for this purpose, which can change the flowering period of some plants, and even change their toxicity and medicinal properties.It is also because of this that it can be said that Immortal Valley has made the most of the flowers and plants, but they also love and cherish flowers the most.

Although Eleven didn't like learning those poisons/medicines very much since she was a child, she grew up among flowers. Now when she suddenly sees such a large area of ​​flowers, they all have a withered and withered posture, and her small face immediately sinks. down.

The sun shone like a warm veil on his body, Eleven stood in front of the flowers, looked at the simple white house at the end of the flower field, and angrily labeled the people inside as "bad guys".

Accompanied by two local police officers, the two uniformed officers had now gone to the front of the house to knock on the door.Rhett also walked over there.

There was a knock on the door for a while, but no one answered the door.Some harsh sunlight shrouded in the noon, and the surrounding silence was eerie.

Reid walked around the narrow window and looked inside, his expression changed immediately, and while quickly pulling out the gun beside him, he signaled to the two police officers: "The missing children are inside!"

When Eleven heard his voice, he raised his legs and wanted to run towards him.But Rhett called to her: "Don't come over, tell Hotch them!"

Glancing at him, Eleven stopped in his tracks, took out his phone and called Hotch.

Reid and the two police officers have also broken into the house safely. There is no threat in the house except for a group of frightened children.

Soon, BAU and local police, and even armed special police, all came.

Apart from the simple white house in front of you, there are no other buildings in this flower field area, which can be seen almost at a glance.The sheriff in charge of this case in Nova City told Hotch that the flower field belonged to a man named Dick Harris, but he just passed away last week, and no one took care of it.

The case did not end there, because there were only 21 children detained here, and the whereabouts of four children were unknown.Obviously, these four children are the real targets of the suspects.

Eleven stood aside and watched the rescued children rushing to their parents impatiently. Both adults and children had expressions of happiness on their faces.

Well, this feeling is actually not bad.

Rhett said she found them!I couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Rosie came over suddenly and looked with her at the families who reunited after the disaster.

"What if they were not locked in the flower field? If it was an underground secret room, or an abandoned barn, how would you find them?" Rossi asked.

Eleven was stunned.

David Rossi's wise and deep eyes fell on the little girl beside him, he smiled and left.

Although I don't want to admit it, finding these children is completely wrong.Seeing the back of Rossi walking away slowly, Eleven finally couldn't feel complacent.

The large black SUV began to drive towards the Nuo City Police Station.

After the car walked for a while, Eleven suddenly said, "There are children aged 6-14 on the school bus, so the suspect's criminal motive should be found in their parents, right?"

Reid froze for a moment and said, "Yes, being able to select the road section for hijacking in advance, turn off the GPS device of the school bus, and transfer other students to the vacant flower field hut, all these show that the suspect is a thoughtful adult, about the age of Between 25 and 35 years old. If the suspect kidnaps children because... he has special hobbies, he will generally not kidnap so many children at one time, so it is more likely to be a personal grievance."

After listening, Eleven asked, "Where's the driver?" If the four children who were still missing were the real targets of the suspect, why didn't he let the driver go when he let the other children go?

Rhett paused, then said, "Maybe he's been released, we just haven't found him yet."

Eleven understands.

Back at the police station, Garcia also called.The number of victims dropped from 26 to four, and her inquiry direction became more precise. It was quickly found that among the four missing children, except for the seven-year-old Demi, the fathers or mothers of the remaining three children also attended this school. An expensive private elementary school.

So the suspect is likely to be a schoolmate with the child's parents and had conflicts with each other. Hotch asked Garcia to start the investigation from the students who were expelled that year. If it was such a long-standing grievance and the suspect broke out suddenly, it must have been stimulated by some kind of recent stimulus, such as divorce or the death of a relative.

It is a pity that this school did not establish electronic files for students 20 years ago.

Then, only the person involved knows what happened that year.

Hotch asked the police to call the parents of the three children together to find clues about the suspect.

The sun was already in the west, and the hands of the clock turned to three o'clock in the afternoon, and nearly seven hours had passed since the children disappeared.

Three pairs of young parents sat around the conference table of the police station, with expressions of grief and anxiety on their faces.

Hotch said calmly: "There are two unknown suspects. At least one of them, or all of them are acquaintances of yours. They probably attended Nuoshi Primary School like you."

Morgan added: "The suspect believes that he has been treated unfairly, and this has something to do with you. So you need to recall, is there anyone who fits the description."

The parents of the three children were all surprised when they heard this. One of the fathers in a suit asked, "You mean that the murderer was our classmate? That's impossible! How can you be sure that this is not a case of kidnapping and ransom?"

Eleven, who was standing opposite these parents with BAU, couldn't help saying, "Even I know that if it's for money, the kidnappers will definitely contact their family members, but the suspect didn't ask for any conditions after the kidnapping. And if it's just for extortion, the kidnappers Isn't the risk of the school bus too great? Let alone let the other 21 children go for no reason!"

Eleven suddenly made a sound, and the team members were a little surprised.After listening to her well-founded analysis, I was even more surprised.Morgan gave her a thumbs up calmly.Rhett smiled approvingly, too.

Well, the emotions of being hit by the old man Rossi have recovered a bit.

In fact, when Garcia revealed on the phone that the parents of the three children also came from this elementary school, the members of the BAU team had already guessed the whole story.About school bullying, probably only Shi Shi didn't know about it, and had never heard of it.

If it was just an ordinary campus bullying, it would not be 20 years later and it would still make a person grieve, so there must have been a very serious accident that year, and it still has a bad influence on the suspect.

The BAU team took turns to analyze layer by layer, and the eyes of several parents on the opposite side gradually became uneasy.Finally, a mother covered her mouth with a pale face: "Ohmygod! It's...it's the Walker brothers and sisters!"

The facts are similar to what the BAU team speculated. The Walker brothers and sisters were the targets of bullying back then.Eleven suspected that it took so long for those parents to recall, probably because there were too many people who bullied them back then, and it was difficult to screen them out for a while.

But when she finished listening to the narration of those parents, she was completely puzzled.

She can understand the revenge of the Walker brothers and sisters, and anyone who has been treated so unfairly will feel uncomfortable.What she couldn't understand was that it took them 20 years to retaliate!

The story goes like this, three Walker brothers and sisters—yes, three of them, 20 years ago, were students at Nuoshi Primary School.Children are sometimes violent and incomprehensible. The three Walker brothers and sisters can't remember the day when they started living in this kind of violence.As BAU speculated, a serious accident ended up happening.

One day, the little sister of the Walker family was locked in the school toilet. After the two older brothers rescued her, the school bus heading home barely drove away. When the three of them were in a hurry to catch up, a traffic accident happened.

A truck hit from the side.The younger sister was in a vegetable state, one boy had a broken leg and the other was slightly injured.

The pale mother was still crying and said: "It was just an accident. We were children at that time, and no one thought that..."
