[Comprehensive] Runaway Witch

Chapter 19: Two Kidnapping Cases 2

"What's the matter with Rhett, I'm weak." Garcia focused on typing on the keyboard in front of him, not paying attention to everyone's pleasantries with Elina.

"I don't know. Maybe he didn't sleep well. He has dark circles under his eyes..." Alina sat down next to Garcia, and opened the case files.

"He always has dark circles under his eyes. The difference is how dark they are. It has nothing to do with emotions. What are you talking about?" Garcia complained about Rhett.

"Didn't say anything, Garcia, are your cases so amazing?" Alina propped her chin with her left hand, and pointed to the photos in the file folder with her right hand.

"Oh! My dear, don't show me this, you know I'm not used to these horrible photos, and I don't want to!" Garcia immediately frowned and quickly closed the folder.

"Okay, Miss Hacker, show me the homepage of the governor's daughter you mentioned earlier." Alina put the folder aside.

"Quickly enter the role, here..." Garcia called up the webpage and turned his hand to Elina.

"Nowadays many people like to have their own homepage, and then make themselves feel free?" Alina looked at the webpage incomprehensibly.

"There are always people who like to be sought after, and a little genius like you doesn't understand." As a technical geek, Garcia can't like not having sex, but there are many people who are keen to show themselves.

"Yes, but I'm not a genius..." Alina agreed with the first half of the sentence, but refuted the second half.

"Wow, you know, obvious modesty is doubly showing off." Garcia also imitated Alina and propped her head on her hands, feeling that Alina's mood was also depressed.

"I'm not humble. I'm not the smart type. Although it's hard to say it when I boast about my hard work, it's true that I have devoted all my time to studying and working, and I'm just about to get my first doctorate..." Alina smiled wryly .

"So..." Garcia didn't understand what Elina meant by that.

"That's why I gave up almost all of my personal time to get some grades. I can't be called a genius like Rhett and you at all, and I'm much worse than everyone else." Alina still smiled, but very tired, This is the real her, a person who is trying to move forward, but is tired and hopeless.

"What's the matter? Alina, are you scared by this case?" Garcia was taken aback by Elina like this.

"I don't want to be scared, but I feel the gap between myself and everyone else. I feel that I am inferior. It's okay. I came to study..." Alina's negative emotions were immediately suppressed by herself, and she turned her head and changed to a gentle one. statement.

"Hey... the nervousness that rookies will have, don't be afraid, the latest order from Chief Hozina is that all information will be passed on, and you can learn about it when you have time. This case can be used as a preliminary preparation for work." Garcia said optimistically. Consolation Elina, if it is BAU, anyone except Garcia will see herself hidden by Elina, but Garcia is not a profiler after all.

In the following days, Elina started her daily routine, going back and forth between home, the library, and Garcia's office at three o'clock, analyzing the situation when there was a new situation, and reading the theory of criminal psychology and past case files when there was no time.

The case file was applied by Alina and Hozner, and the book list was sent overnight by Reid.

The BAU in South Carolina is having a tough time, with neither the female body pit case nor the governor's daughter missing, although the BAU ruled out a connection from the start.

Helplessly, the media is not letting go, and the BAU cannot release the details of the female corpse pit case. Simply stating that there is no connection between the two will not be able to shake the reporter's report that the wind is raining.

For a while, everyone in the United States knew that the daughter of the governor of South Carolina was suspected of being kidnapped by a crazy serial murderer, and her whereabouts were unknown. The police and the FBI were at a loss.

There was even such news on TV: the governor's beloved daughter was missing, another victim of a serial murderer; everyone was not optimistic that the governor's beloved daughter would return safely, whether it was the police's ineffectiveness or something else...

It is conceivable that the news media and even the public on the Internet have heard how sensational this matter is. Everyone has already tacitly agreed that the governor loves girls, and there is little hope.

Under such circumstances, BAU is divided into two groups, Rossi and Reid are in charge of the female corpse pit case, while Hozner leads the rest to focus on the kidnapping case.

Hozner is sorting out the information they know about the case: "The kidnapping happened three days ago. Miss Miller disappeared at a party, and a high heel shoe she was wearing that day was left at the scene, but she was not taken to the surveillance site. There is no picture of people who cannot be identified being taken away, we have seen the scene, and all the entrances and exits are monitored, so we speculate that Miss Miller did not leave the scene."

"But this is not consistent with our investigation, because people can be hidden at the scene, or the places where the corpses are hidden have been inspected, and there is no trace of Miss Miller." Morgan, the person who led the team to inspect the scene non-stop, rubbed his forehead Take up Hozner's words.

"So we went back to the surveillance video, and finally found that three types of people have enough containers to carry people, the band's box on the day of the party, the on-site chef's box, and the trash can." Emily watched the images of each camera countless times , expressing that he felt sick watching the video.

"In the end, all the boxes they showed up in the surveillance were thoroughly inspected. There was no abnormality, no blood reaction, no Miss Miller's fingerprints, DNA, nothing. Then the question came, did she just disappear?" Huo Zener felt the pressure like never before. The police, the FBI, the public, and the governor were all closely watching the case.

"Our side is not going well. The latest female corpse was determined to have died three months ago. Even though the temperature has been low and dry recently, the degree of decay is still too high. There are very few information available on the scene, and there are not many autopsy results." There are also many difficulties on Rossi's side, and the lack of information is the problem here.

"I found information about some of the female corpses in the disappearance records, but they disappeared at different times and places, and their life circles did not all overlap. The only gain is that it was confirmed that all the female corpses were blond and white, and experts have been asked to recover The original appearance of the unknown female corpse, hoping to find more information about the victim." Reid talked about the progress of their work.

"However, we still don't know why he suddenly stopped disposing of the body at this location three months ago, without any warning. It is worth noting that during these three months, a blond Caucasian woman who fit the victim's model was still missing, but could not be found. Determine the connection with this case." As a senior detective, Rossi also found it tricky.

For a moment, the air in the temporary office was condensed.

"Everyone, don't be too stressed. Maybe we need to think differently. Let's look at the case of the female corpse. Let's look at the kidnapping case. Then we can talk to Garcia and Clark. Let's discuss it." Finally, Rossi adjusted the atmosphere.

"Okay, we are working in a group, and we can discuss together." Hozner agreed with Rossi's suggestion.

**Get ready for the video connection with Garcia, Elina is indeed right next to Garcia.

"Hello! How are you all today? Well...it doesn't look too good." Garcia just wanted to greet everyone happily, but finally gave up.

"Garcia, Clark, we're in trouble." ** Stepping away from the camera, she puts the computer on one side and everyone on the other.

"Actually, we all know the latest information. The question now is, Miss Miller disappeared without a trace in the kidnapping case, and the clues to the female corpse pit case were broken?" Alina summed up the current difficulties.

"That's right, that's a good summary." Hozner nodded.

"Garcia has a bold guess about Ms. Miller's kidnapping case. She dare not say it, but I don't think it is impossible." Alina and Garcia have also been discussing the case, and Garcia was facing the computer alone. , now that Alina is with her, it's all kinds of brainstorming.

"Erina! I... I just said that casually!" Garcia now recalls her speculations about aliens and dismembered corpses. The former made her very excited, and the latter made her not eat meat recently.

"I'm not talking about your alien theory, I mean, you asked me if Miss Miller went to the party." Alina knew what she was thinking by seeing Garcia's expression.

"I also said dismembered corpses...uh...that's disgusting..." Garcia was disgusted by his own thoughts again.

"I believe you have already ruled out the possibility of mutilated corpses. I mean, why don't you check the surveillance cameras when you enter the venue. We always recognize the wrong person at the party. Everyone has exquisite makeup but thick clothes. Look, that dress el's latest style must be someone who has heard about showing off... Then everyone knows that so and so came to the party, but in fact, she may be wearing forever21 at home and did not come to the party at all." Alina has been thinking, this may be She felt the only possibility in this unthinkable case.

"Yep..." Everyone pondered the possibility.

"It's always easy for ordinary people to imitate famous people, why, they have their own logo, Marilyn is her golden curls and moles, Chaplin is his beard and walking stick...Miss Miller is also a celebrity." Alina continued own speculation.

"Miss Miller's signature is her long curly hair and Cleopatra makeup," Garcia added, in case those on the other side of the computer didn't know.

Well, BAU's expression told Garcia that they really didn't know.

"It's an idea, and we'll try to see if it works." Hozner, who was at his wit's end, accepted this speculation.

"And..." Alina was less confident about another speculation.

"Don't tell me, you also have speculation in another case?" Rossi didn't hide his surprise.

"It's okay to listen, isn't it?" Rhett was also surprised, but he still helped Alina.

"Of course I also want to know Clark's speculation, Rhett, don't push me to the side of rejection..." Rossi knew that her surprise had misunderstood everyone, and immediately clarified with a joke.

"..." Reed was named.
