[Criminal Minds] years before love

Gideon looked at Rossi leaning on the door watching him with some headaches. He loved Rossi and his verbal confrontation many years ago, but now he is really tired of having such a confrontation with Rossi, "David, straight to the point .”

"Okay, then I'll be straight." Rossi agreed readily beyond his expectations, "Can you give me the case you just took?"

"David? If you're because of Aaron, I don't think he would necessarily want to go." Gideon shook the thing in his hand at him, "I asked him."

"But I want to go." Rossi stepped forward and put his hands on the table, "Jason, I know you have been doubting his life when he was young, don't you consider letting me check it out for you?"

"I don't quite trust your purpose." Gideon snorted softly.

"Then if it's for the purpose you guessed, would you agree?" Rossi raised his eyebrows and smiled ambiguously.

Gideon shook his head helplessly, but threw the things in his hands into his arms, "David, I can only remind you one more time, work is not for your love."

"You really don't need to worry about this." Rossi pouted, but couldn't help but add, "Jason, honestly, do you think I ever did that?"

Gideon stared at him for a while, then murmured to himself, "I wish you'd ever done that."

Rossi pretended not to hear anything, and went back to his office with the documents.

Of course Hotch was right.

That was the second body found. The deceased was a young professor who had been killed in his office and had his abdomen dissected and his intestines turned over.

But the first thing Hotch noticed was a pattern on the unassuming white dress hanging in the corner.

Inverted triangle with arc and plus sign outlined inside.

"They're still there." Hotch's calm expression couldn't hide his cold sweat. He never thought that he would see this symbol again after so many years, "It's already broken into the school."

"Aaron." Rossi wiped his brow with a tissue. "I always knew there would always be, there would be others without them, but I did think we'd uprooted them."

"Do you need to notify the higher-ups?"

"Wait a little longer." Rossi shook his head. "Let's go and see first. If it is indeed confirmed that they have returned from the ashes, even if it has nothing to do with this case, I will still go to the higher authorities."

Hotch nodded and lined up several pictures of the crime scene. The victims were all white men in their 40s who were cut open at the workplace.

Janitors, professors, cleaners, lawyers.

Hotch frowned, "Could it be the Avengers, or am I just being too sensitive, it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with them."

"It's not surprising that other cases were accidentally brought up." Rossi nodded, "But the elements of sex and abuse in these cases are obvious. Considering what they did back then, as long as there is any possibility, we will Can't let it go."

"The characteristics of several cases are obviously similar, and the possibility of two serial killers with the same style appearing in the same area in a short period of time is very low. But the choice of victims seems a bit strange. The gang crime seems to be reasonable Do you know?" Hotch separated the photos with different pictures due to the different locations of the murders.

"Not very similar." Rossi shook his head, reaching out to block the background of the photo, leaving only the corpse in the middle, "If you don't consider the class of the victim, they have obvious things in common, and the treatment of the corpse is also very similar, I am more inclined to be the same person made."

"It's hard to understand how the suspect can connect these two seemingly unrelated groups of people." Hotch was still a little hesitant, "But a caesarean section without organ loss is indeed a very strong personal sign. Schizophrenia?"

"Looking at the scene from the photos, we can't really rule out this speculation. But I'm more inclined that his choice of victims was influenced by some factors that we don't know yet." Rossi nodded, "Don't jump to conclusions, we still have to go See if the local police missed anything."

"Dave, how likely is it that someone came back after getting out of prison?" Hotch clicked on the photo.

"I can't judge by just one emblem. But from my past experience, they usually start over in a different place." Rossi reassured him, "Don't worry too much. There are many universities in the United States, and their model can be used in any Easy copy in one place, no need to go back to the original place. But I will contact to confirm where they are now."

"Dave, I wouldn't feel more comfortable if they start over in another place." Hotch bit his lower lip unconsciously. "I just think my choice back then was... so ridiculous."

"On the plus side, that got you to know me years earlier." Rossi put his arm around his shoulders.

Hotch didn't say anything, just shook his hand.
