[Criminal Minds] years before love

Early the next morning, Rossi rushed to the police station immediately after receiving the news.

The tired officer smiled lightly for the first time in days. "We got lucky this time."

"Have you caught him?" Rossi cheered up and looked into the interrogation room, where a youth who looked young was locked up.

"Yes, the lab has processed the photos. We distributed the photos to the officers on duty. A patrolman saw him pushing an ice cream truck at the gate of a small park early in the morning." The police officer nodded, "He didn't speak, but he didn't have a very strong emotion. Resist. We have not formally started to interrogate him. To be honest, the evidence is not very sufficient. If we act rashly and mess up..."

He spread his hands, "And I kind of wonder if we're wrong."

"What?" Rossi turned to look at him, he was sure that the young man was very nervous and flustered, definitely not innocent.

"He can't be the person who abducted the child more than ten years ago. He was a child himself more than ten years ago, and we really have no evidence that he is the suspect in our murder case." The police officer scratched his hair a little irritably.

"I'm not sure if he is a suspect in several cases of murder and abandonment of corpses." Rossi stared at him, "but he is most likely the perpetrator of the case of missing children."

"Are we going to use this as a breakthrough?"

"No." Rossi shook his head. "That's our hole card, but I hope you don't rush to interrogate him—and I contacted my colleagues."

"why?"

"This is most likely an organized crime with a long history, and I tend to catch it all at once." Rossi held down the impatient police officer, "I know you don't like the FBI, but it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to completely pull them out, as well as you A deal that you might not like."

"What?" The police officer couldn't hold back, "You also said that he is likely to be the perpetrator of the missing child case! And you are going to offer him a deal?"

"I guess they would." Rossi turned to look at the young man. "Would you feel better if I said he was probably a victim too?"

The police officer hesitated, and turned to look at the interrogation room.

"Did I say they wanted to express guilt?"

The officer nodded slowly.

"In such an organization, the real controller will not do it himself." Rossi was still staring at the one-way glass, the young man inside hung his head and huddled in the chair.

After a while, the officer sighed softly, "No. It's not going to make me feel better."

Rossi looked back a little surprised.

"That just makes me think...if we had caught them earlier, maybe there wouldn't have been so many victims." He sighed and turned back to his chair.

Rossi stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "The FBI Organized Crime Division will take over. Although I don't always agree with some of their practices, I believe you will have a good cooperation."

The police officer thought for a while before he understood what he meant, and then turned his head in surprise, "You mean you won't follow up?"

"From the perspective of specific case handling, it is true. There has been a breakthrough, and my colleagues will take over the rest of the work. It will be a long and tiring process...I must remind you to be mentally prepared."

"You don't seem to want to talk to him?" The police officer was even more astonished, his eyes wandering between Rossi and the interrogation room.

Rossi closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and sighed with a wry smile, "Actually... I'm not sure I can really accept what he might tell me."

Broken corpses, perverted murderers, crazy sex crimes... He has experienced all these for decades, and he faces them almost every day, and it doesn't move him in the slightest.But these kinds of cases still make Rossi fall into certain emotions.In the past, he was not very repulsed to participate in it, and even supported some similar cases as an undercover agent, and that left him with far more than just memories.

Before the officer could figure out what to say, a detective in a sharp suit interrupted their conversation.

Rossi breathed a sigh of relief, and he went forward to shake hands.

"Thank you for letting us know."

"I leave it to you." Rossi signaled to the wary police officer, "I hope you have a pleasant cooperation."

And the senior detective who was about the same age as him obviously had some friendship with him, turned his head to look at the interrogation room, and then sighed, "I already have a clue? It seems that I have a lot of work this holiday."

Rossi smiled, "Oh, I forgot to mention Merry Christmas."

"It seems that you have some plans, David?"

Rossi blinked and sighed softly, "It should have been."

But right now, he's really not sure if Hotch will be back before then.
