[Criminal Minds] years before love

"Rogers." Hotch arranged all the evidence one by one on the blackboard, and suddenly turned his head to look at Rogers sitting at the table behind him, "Why have you never participated in their activities?"

"Like I said, I, I usually work the night shift on Saturdays." Rogers was clearly at a loss for the question.

Hotch tilted his head, still looking at him, "Everyone can go and play, but you can't, and maybe you'll hold a grudge against them for it. You're on duty alone, and your absence proves untenable."

"I don't know what they're doing!" Rogers growled in panic, avoiding his eyes.

"Really?" Hotch was still staring at him relentlessly.

Eventually Rogers flinched, and he lowered his head, whispering, "I guessed something. Will's wife hinted at me and wanted to invite me to his house...she was a little tricky. But I couldn't do it!" Me, I love my wife, I can't do it."

He grabbed two handfuls of hair anxiously, "But I won't kill them! They're just hurting themselves!"

"It's not just them," Hotch murmured to himself.

"what?"

Hotch didn't explain, he thought for a moment and asked, "So, I guess there's no one here who doesn't know what's going on at his party?"

"No." Rogers explained embarrassedly, "Agent, I know it's bad, it's wrong, it sounds weird, it doesn't make sense. But Will didn't push anyone, they went there because they wanted to. "

Hotch sighed, this kind of sex game that probably involved half of the town has endless troubles, "Have you ever thought about what the children will think?"

"They don't know. I swear no one will tell the kids what happened and no one will ever take the kids."

"I doubt it." Hotch smiled mockingly. "Do you have kids?"

"A 5-year-old daughter, but I won't let her stay here forever. I plan to move when she grows up." Rogers was stunned for a while, but still answered his question, and then lowered a little uncomfortably Chief, "Detective, is this relevant to our case?"

Hotch once again cast his eyes on the photos of the death scene. Four women were lying on the ground, their clothes were not damaged, and they could see the marks of beatings on their faces. The autopsy found that there were traces of sexual assault. .”

After a while, he put down the things in his hands, "I need to talk to Mia Baker."

"Mia? I'm going to contact Baker. But Baker has an alibi. You don't think it's her, do you? She's just a little girl, she can't do this."

"No, I don't think it was her. If it was her, then it should have ended after her mother, Alisa, died, and she didn't have to keep killing. I just think she has something to tell us."

Hotch looked through the autopsy report carefully again. For the three victims who might have just left Will's party, the traces of recent sexual behavior cannot be counted as evidence of sexual assault.The scars on the body and head came from being hit by heavy objects, and the scars on the neck may have come from some kind of chains from the shape.

Janet has only had a preliminary examination and a formal forensic report will take days.

Reluctantly, Baker arrived at the police station with his daughter.

"What do you want to say to my daughter?"

"If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to her alone." Hotch looked at the girl standing aside, her eyes always focused on the distance, her lips tightly pursed, her arms folded around her chest.

"Why?" Baker looked distrustful, "What do you want to do? No, I don't mind, you just ask here."

"Trust me, you don't want to know." Hotch raised an eyebrow.

"My kid doesn't know anything." Baker growled angrily. "I have the right to disagree."

"I know."

"Will you catch him?" Mia Baker's eyes slowly moved back to Hotch, "The one who killed Mom."

"I will." Hotch looked into her eyes. "Will you help me?"

"No, Mia, you don't have to." Baker tried to pull his daughter behind him.

But the girl gently pushed him away, "Dad, I want to talk to this detective alone."

"Are you sure? Mia, you don't have to be afraid of him."

"I'm not afraid." Mia walked up to Hotch, looked down at the ground nervously, and whispered, "Only those who do bad things are afraid of the police."
