[Criminal Minds] years before love

When Gideon arrived at the office the next morning, he was not surprised to find that Hotch had already taken his seat, and Rossi hadn't arrived, of course.Regardless of what had happened to them the night before, at least it didn't look like Hotch had anything special when, technically speaking, they didn't have much private time.

He got a call early in the morning, a series of shootings. Gideon was a little hesitant. Serial shootings usually leave little room for profiling, and he doubted he would be able to help.But after all, it was a direct request from the bureau, and the case sounded a bit strange, so he didn't refuse.

Now looking at the faxed information, Gideon only feels that it is quite tricky. The murder method is very good, and almost all of them are killed by one shot. The evidence of on-site investigation shows that the shooting point is at least 100 meters away from the crime scene.From a distance, the shooter, and the seemingly unconnected dead.

There is almost no room for him to play.

The police seem to think they have caught the suspect by tracking down the gun, but unfortunately, the murder is still going on.

Gideon looked at the standard arrest photo, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision, he pushed open the door to signal Hotch to come in, looked him up and down carefully for a while, "I hope you have no problem with going out on the field."

"What?" Hotch almost had confusion written all over his face, "Gideon, I've been on the field as usual."

"...Wait, since I was called Jason yesterday, there is no need to change it back." Gideon handed him the folder, "What do you think of the new case?"

"LDSK?" Hotch frowned slightly. "I remember you saying that they would all contact the police, and that's the only way to possibly catch them. Apart from that, there's not much we can do?"

"For typical LDSK, yes." Gideon nodded. "The federal police believe they have caught the murderer in the case. The gun found in his home matches the bullet left at the scene."

"So what do we need to do?"

"The murders haven't stopped."

"What?" Hotch raised his head in astonishment, "Two LDSKs appeared in the same area at the same time?"

"Our colleagues felt that the possibility of no relationship between them was too small, but the suspect they caught refused to speak and did not admit that he killed him." Gideon explained, "They hoped that we could find a way to let He cooperates."

"I think the typical LDSK doesn't care who their victims are." Hotch looked at the photos of the victims, frowning deeply.

"Very good." Gideon nodded approvingly, "Yes, although his victims showed two completely different tendencies to choose, they were still clearly selected. Typical LDSK enjoys manipulating life and death over all living beings The thrill of playing with the police, and the panic that followed, they almost always contacted the police - they were excited by the fun of playing with the police."

"Who is this arrested murderer?" Hotch stared at the photo, a white male, middle-aged, and looking neat.

"A veteran who seems to be doing well...not quite like the person we are looking for in terms of experience." Gideon stood up and began to pack his things, "but the police evidence is very convincing, I will not talk to him Draw conclusions."

"The victim's information is very simple." Hotch flipped through it and questioned.

"Apparently our colleagues don't think their backgrounds are important in this case, but at least initial investigations show that they are not connected." Gideon glanced at the files in his hand, "But there seems to be something wrong, if I only get these victims photos, I might think we're looking for a perpetrator we know well."

"Maybe he just chose the weapon he was most familiar with as the attack method."

"Accessing victims through a scope?" Gideon shook his head. "The way LDSK gets their pleasure is that they don't need to pick victims, or it's not about sex in the usual sense, so they don't need to touch victims. Picking victims some In this sense, it can be regarded as an impulsive projection, sex or hatred, it has a source, and this source makes it difficult for them to solve the problem by simply aiming and shooting. the victim."

"Maybe he does." Hotch thought for a while, "But Jason, there are two different choices here-young blonde women, and older brunette women, and there are certain similarities in appearance Sex, since the murders haven't stopped, I think he might have accomplices? Accomplices are very common for LDSK."

"Aaron, forget about LDSK, we're treating it as a routine case with a little bit of a twist for now. No doubt we still have a killer on the loose, but are they connected?"

"We need to talk to him...I think, if he's the killer, he'll know better than the police that there's another killer. Go now?" Hotch nodded and put the folder down.

"Or do you need to leave a message for D□□id?" Gideon looked at him with interest.

"No." Hotch pursed his lips and glared at him. "I wish you had better advice, Jason."

Gideon patted him on the shoulder, "Remember to bring your gun."

"I'll never forget my gun," Hotch snorted, "but mind you, Jason, our guns are useless at this distance."

"Pack up your things, we'll be leaving in half an hour."
