"Gideon, we thought we had caught the murderer." The FBI in charge of the investigation was quite familiar with Gideon, and immediately took them to the office without much courtesy.

"How did you find him?"

"7.62×51 mm bullets, long-distance shooting, we guess the murderer may have a military or other firearms background." Federal agents took them to the evidence display board, "No one contacted the police or the hotline. The laboratory restored the shooting location , The investigation found that the same black Beetle was witnessed in two cases-following the license plate, we found Sullivan, who has a military background, and has an SSG3000 under his name. We asked him to understand the situation, he wanted to run, and he wanted to shoot... …another pistol, thank god his insurance wasn't on at the time. Of course we searched his home and found his SSG3000, the ballistics matched the bullets found at the scene."

"Sounds okay."

"Yes, but the case is still going on... The trajectory of the ballistic has changed." The detective pointed to the photos of several of the victims. people."

"If possible, can you investigate the victims in more detail?" Gideon frowned as he looked at the photos of these few victims who still seemed to have two completely different choices and looked very similar to the victims who had died before.

"I'm already working on it after receiving your suggestion. I'll tell everyone to hurry up. It shouldn't take too long." The other party nodded, "If you need anything, call me anytime."

Hotch watched him leave the room and said softly to Gideon, "I don't think a professional sniper would make the mistake of not having the safety on when he raises his gun, and that doesn't even require thinking."

"Unless he hasn't used his gun in a long time." Gideon stared at the suspect's photo, "but if he really has nothing to do with it, there's no need for him to make such an aggressive gesture."

"They found the gun, and it matched the evidence at the scene." Hotch moved the ballistic trajectory comparison report to the center. "He can't have nothing to do with this. But I think for anyone with a background in the military or law enforcement, The FBI’s style of operation is unmistakably rebellious — we’ve never acted softly. Whatever it is…is it possible we’ll stop the next case?”

"If it's indeed an accomplice who showed up to get us to let Sullivan go, and we don't respond the way he expects, he might escalate quickly to get us to pay attention to his demands." Gideon stared ahead." I think it's too bad we probably won't be able to stop it."

Hotch sighed. "If he's another serial killer who pops up every once in a while, it's going to be much harder for us to find him."

"It's not impossible for two or more serial killers to be active in the same area at the same time, but if even the characteristics of the crimes are the same... I hope that such an extremely unlikely event will not happen." Gideon patted him, "Let's talk to Sullivan talk."

"Assuming he really wasn't the murderer?"

"Assume we believe what he said. Now the evidence is against him, and if he is innocent, he should tell us more." Gideon stopped suddenly, looked down at the beeping machine, then looked up at Hotch, softly Laughed.

"what happened?"

"D□□id seems to be quite bitter. I really took you away." He held up the machine in his hand, so that Hotch could see the content displayed on it, "I almost forgot the last time he was out on a case when I was out." When is the time to find me?"

Hotch froze for a few seconds, then frowned, "Jason, he could have found you for other reasons."

"You talk to Sullivan, I'll call him back." Gideon didn't retort, just stared at him meaningfully for a moment, and repeated, "Aaron, it's been a long time since he called me when I was out— He takes care of all the urgent and everyday stuff while I'm away and trust me he doesn't need my advice on that."

Hotch sighed resignedly, "I really don't think he'd bother you just because of that, it's pointless."

Gideon smiled and walked around him to get the phone, "Yeah, it doesn't make sense. But Aaron, it doesn't have to make sense."
