[Criminal Minds] years before love

The police acted quickly, but most of the information gathered was useless.Little Payne never mentioned Dr. F to anyone, nor did he go into the school's psychological counseling room, but almost everyone was quite enthusiastic about the police.

"Dave, we still need to further narrow the scope." Hotch was a little anxious.

"Relax." Rossi handed him the coffee, took the things in his hands and flipped through them, then stopped there suddenly, "Aaron, let's make sure these two cases are connected because two suicides started suddenly Change the planned way of life that is unreasonable to them."

"That's right, we think some F doctor did it to them."

"We know that Payne should have actually met this doctor." Rossi looked at him. "And what about Bassand? I'm a little confused how he got in touch with this Dr. F?"

"write a letter."

"No, no, I mean, how did he know about this Dr. F at first?"

Hotch frowned, and suddenly his heart began to beat faster, "I think...it's unlikely that Dr. F will have his communication activities done for him."

"How did they connect in the first place?"

"Introduced by the previous victim?" Hotch quickly spread out all the photos and information, and pulled out the identification report of the fingerprint, "We have another possible victim, but the case only went through a simple investigation at that time .The police said that the relatives of the deceased had moved and could not be contacted. It made me feel a little... strange, and I should investigate further."

"Although it's a bit too fast, it's understandable to move away from the sad. What I care about is, Aaron, do you think this fingerprint was sent by the victim himself, or by Dr. F? Judging from the date He was still alive when this form was sent out." Rossi narrowed his eyes, and instead of checking the victim's information immediately, he picked up the schedule and checked it carefully, "Or, what I care about is this Who exactly is Bassand's pen pal."

"If it's Dr. F himself, then we're likely to be able to find evidence to incriminate him—if we can find him." Hotch mused, "If it's the victim... there's no way he's still in correspondence after death! "

"Yes, he personally." Rossi pondered for a moment, "Aaron, have you ever had a pen pal?"

"No." Hotch shook his head, "At that age, I don't seem to have this opportunity."

"Let's put it this way, most people...are quite sensitive to changes in their pen pals."

"you mean?"

"This Dr. F either kept in touch with Bassand from the beginning, which is very unlikely. Then it is more likely that he was very, very familiar with this dead pen pal and could imitate it perfectly." Rossi said meaningfully, He frowned, "The calendar found in Little Payne's room didn't have fingerprints on it. Why did he send the fingerprints of another deceased person? He should know that if there is an investigation involved, it will raise suspicions."

"Usually what appears to be a suicide case doesn't get investigated very carefully, and they didn't even investigate who the fingerprint belonged to in the first place."

"But it's different from the way he asked the other party to destroy all evidence. It seems... less cautious." Rossi shook his head,

"So he improved his shot next time?" Hotch speculated hesitantly, "Or did he make a mistake?"

"And it's very unnecessary. Aaron...I'm leaning towards him doing it to win Bassand's trust, change, contract, whatever."

"And that means he was very close to the No. 1 deceased." Hotch flipped the page, looking up at Rossi sharply, "We have to find his family...WilliamConrad—Dave, this is Payne's case! This Could that be why he chose little Payne?"

"maybe."

"Why would Payne handle such a small case himself?" Hotch checked again. "Simple suicide case."

"What case?" Payne's voice suddenly came from the door.

Rossi held Hotch's arm, turned around and looked disapprovingly at the old friend who opened the door, "Jimmy, you should be home."

"David, don't try to persuade me." Payne leaned against the door and watched them. "You know I can't help at home."

Hotch raised the file in his hand, "I don't think you remember such an ordinary suicide case? William Conrad, early last month."

"I remember." Payne thought for a while, "As you said, I don't do much with this kind of case. I passed by when the police were called that day. Yes, his father was very sad. But there is no doubt that it was suicide. , the kid locked the door and electrocuted himself in the bathtub."

"Is there anything else you noticed?"

"If I have to say... what impressed me is that." Payne frowned. "The scene was very clean. He turned on the faucet and the water pipe, and not even a drop of water leaked from the bathtub."
