[Criminal Minds] years before love

After a while, until Lash started to choke, Hotch slowly patted her on the shoulder, "Lash, have you ever seen a blue notebook the size of a notebook?"

"Booklet?" Lash frowned trying to remember, "Blue..."

"Also, did he mention changing a class, or a club?" Rossi also lowered her head and asked her.

"Change?" Lash snapped. "He said it! He said it was time for a change, I thought he meant he was going to break the line with us or something! God, is this related to his suicide? I knew him All the hard work that makes him unhappy!"

"Society or brochure? Think again!" Rossi grabbed her.

Lash shook his arms irritably, "My God, let me think again."

Hotch shoved the Coke in front of her, "Lash, calm down. Close your eyes and think about what you were doing in that fortress. The alcohol, your messing around, Harry reading...Harry told you he wanted Change, was he drunk then?"

Lash closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "No, he invited us to dinner that day. He looked very serious when he said it, and a little desperate."

"Did he laugh?" Hotch lowered his voice and continued, "What did you eat?"

"We ate...beef, yes, the smell of beef, and onion rings, soup...Harry was laughing. He said it couldn't go on like this, he wanted to change." She pursed her lips and continued, "Also... he joined the family, and the family will completely change his life."

"Did he ask you to join?" Hotch asked cautiously.

"No." She shook her head slightly, "He said we don't need it, and he...showed us his notebook, no, it's not his, that notebook looks very old, is it black? No, it seems to be ..."

"blue?"

"Yes, dark blue!" Lash opened his eyes and looked at them, "Is it the booklet you mentioned?"

"Lash, for a second, think about what he said, did he mention any names?" Rossi took her hands. "Think about his attitude."

Lash bowed his head and thought for a while, then suddenly looked up at him, "Not that day. But the last time I went to see him, I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk. I knew he wanted to, but he whispered... Doctor F will not be happy."

"Thank you, Lash." Rossi let go of his hand. "I know this is not easy for you. Now we will take you home. If you think of anything else, call the police anytime."

"Does this help?" Lash looked at him blankly.

"Of course." Rossi nodded at her. "Very helpful, I promise we'll get the whole thing figured out."

"Also, Lash, don't get in random cars with strangers like this again." Hotch handed her the hamburger she hadn't eaten, and looked her seriously in the eyes. "Next time you might actually meet the bad guys."

But the girl glanced at him, just shook her head, took the food in his hand, turned and got into the car.

It wasn't until she got out of the car that she knocked on Hotch's car window and said, "Thank you."

Although Hotch quite disapproved of an underage girl staying in a place that seemed like a group of gangsters, she insisted and they couldn't say anything more.

"Aaron, you can't change her life like this." Rossi comforted Hotch, who was still looking back at the dilapidated apartment, "She needs long-term help, and before that, she has to figure it out for herself."

"I know." Hotch sighed, "It's not the first time I've seen it."

"Hungry?" Rossi rummaged through his pockets, took out a candy and handed it over, "You just kept staring at the food."

Hotch took it and put it in his mouth, glanced at him, and complained with some annoyance, "Dave, I will never agree to have too intimate contact with you while the case is not over, no matter what."

And Rossi smiled and tried to touch his hand, but he gave him a glare and broke away.

"Aaron, rest, let's go back and sort it out, and report the profile to the police tomorrow."

"Do you think this Doctor F is a real doctor?" Hotch hesitated.

"I'm thinking about what his real purpose is." Rossi said without coming to a conclusion, "Initially I thought he made the victim change to make his loved ones more sad, but how is he going to feel this grief? No one A madman can do it without thinking about what he did."

"I don't believe the Payne couple have had marriage therapy." Hotch thought for a while, "There doesn't seem to be anyone trying to comfort them except you. And Bassand's case is far away in another state, and it seems unlikely that his parents have anything to do with Payne. Any intersection. I think he's targeting the victim himself."

Rossi agrees. "While he may not have done anything at all, I think he's technically a control freak type of offender."

"He wants to control the victim to death, and this process excites him." Hotch stared forward, feeling a little depressed, "and the victim eliminated all evidence for him, he has almost no connection with the case, even if we catch him I'm afraid it will be very difficult to convict him if he lives."

This time Rossi squeezed his hand very firmly, "Yes, but at least we'll find him this time."
