[Comprehensive] Runaway Witch

"Miss McRoberts, we meet again." Rosie sat down in front of Mary McRoberts, and Alina came in with him.

"Both detectives, I don't quite understand. What's the reason why you came to me so late?" Miss McRoberts' expression was still calm, and what she showed was pure doubt.

"In the gap between the two meetings, we have gained something new. Of course, I am sorry to disturb your night, but please take a look, are you familiar with this house?" Rossi opened the folder she was carrying and took it from inside. Take a photo.

"This is . . . oh! This is one of my houses," admitted Miss McRoberts quickly.

Rossi frowned when she heard such a straightforward admission, "The location of this house is very remote, so I probably didn't buy it, but built it myself."

"That's right, but I don't know why the elders at that time built such an unusable house there. So... what's wrong with this house?" Miss McRoberts carefully confirmed the photo Rossi gave her, Frowning and recalling carefully for a moment, she seemed to feel something and looked at Rossi and Alina.

"Then, has Miss McRoberts been here, especially recently?" Seeing that Miss McRoberts quickly understood that there was a problem with this house, Rossi simply continued with some guided inquiries.

While Rosie asked this question, he and Alina, as well as the others behind the one-sided viewing glass, were staring at Miss McRoberts' reaction.

"Not recently. The reason why I remember this house is that I went there once last year when I inherited this house. So I am now a suspect because there is something wrong with this house." Miss McRoberts confirmed her Guess, but stretched his brows instead.

"We did gain something in this house. If Ms. McRoberts hasn't been to this house recently, then it should be just a whim, and I bought some appliances and appliances for the kitchen of this house." Rossi took out I checked the credit card records Garcia found, it was a credit card in the name of Miss McRoberts.

"If I say now that I haven't bought these things and that the credit card is just lost...you won't believe it." Miss McRoberts picked up the record, looked at it carefully for a while, and sighed helplessly.

"Excuse me about your lost time, and the time for reporting the loss." Rossi didn't answer whether he believed it or not, and expressed his attitude with questions.

"I can't remember clearly, and I didn't report the loss... If you have a lot of credit cards, this is something that will often be issued." With a calm answer and a sincere tone, she clearly felt the identity of the suspect. , but neither excited nor anxious.

Rossi and Alina looked at the calm and smiling Miss McRoberts noncommittally.

"Then...we want to confirm with you, where were you the night your fiancé disappeared? Is there an alibi?" Rossi confirmed routinely, and the next step is to start an investigation with Mike Roberts as the main suspect.

Of course, all the BAUs and even Sergeant Smith who had just been recruited were surprised. At this time, why did Miss McRoberts not call a lawyer and still smiled brightly.

"Actually, I have an alibi." Miss McRoberts would be so calm, and she really had her support. After she finished speaking, she gave Rossi who was interrogating her a provocative look.

"W...What?" Rossi was caught off guard by this unexpected answer.

"Mr. Detective, are you expressing emotion? Or are you asking if I have any alibi..." Ms. McRoberts even teased Rossi, the interrogator who had a somewhat pushy attitude in front of her.

"Miss McRoberts, you never said you had an alibi." Alina took the conversation tacitly.

"That's because none of you asked me. I thought I was the one who was not suspected. Of course I didn't emphasize it, but obviously it's time now." Miss McRoberts raised the corners of her mouth and gave a sarcastic smile.

"Then please explain now." Alina resisted the urge to roll her eyes, what's the matter, the referee suddenly judged you to run early when you were about to run to the finish line.

"If according to what you said, Josh disappeared after ten o'clock in the evening, then I can't do it, because I had a long video call with my friends in India that night. The main reason is that Josh has not come back, she chatted with me It took a long time, from more than nine o'clock in the evening to the early morning, when she was going to have lunch, and our video ended." Ms. McRoberts recounted what happened that night while recalling.

"We will verify your statement, please sit down first." Alina made a temporary end to this conversation.

After listening to her, Elina and Rossi looked at each other. They both felt that it was troublesome, because they both felt that she was not lying, and such a lie would be easily exposed, so there was no need to tell it.

The two got up and left one after another.

"The time difference between Miami and India is nine and a half hours. In other words, Ms. McRoberts and her friends have been videotaping until 9 or 2 o'clock in the morning." Reid, who was watching the progress here, looked at Hozner.

"If what she said is true, then her suspicion can be ruled out. Morgan..." Hozner let out a long breath.

"I'll call Garcia to confirm." Morgan answered the call naturally, then turned and walked out.

"So the suspicion is ruled out?" Sergeant Smith raised an objection. He didn't know much about the case, but knowing the time of disappearance is difficult to be sure.

"Yes, based on the location of the crime we found, we investigated the surrounding road monitoring, and we can confirm that the victim was kidnapped around 12 o'clock." Reid took the initiative to explain the confusion for the sheriff.

"So Ms. McRoberts has been ruled out of suspicion...the case has returned to the original point?" Sergeant Smith looked at BAU in disbelief, obviously all the evidence is available, and now he wants to overthrow it and start over.

"I'm sorry to let the sheriff make this trip in vain. We will reassemble the evidence, and we need to make a final profile." Hozner looked at Miss McRoberts who silently took control of the situation.

"Isn't the alibi she said not confirmed yet?" The sheriff thought of the current clues, all pointing to Miss McRoberts, and he was really close to the door. Now that they are all yellow, he can't accept it, and he admires it Calm, BAU to be re-investigated.

"She wouldn't be stupid enough to tell such a lie." Hozner thought the same as Rosie wanted to love Lina in it, looking thoughtfully at Miss McRoberts who was sitting alone.

"Garcia has already checked. Ms. McRoberts is telling the truth. She was indeed in the video for four or five hours." Morgan came back with his mobile phone and reported what Garcia had learned.

"Is there no possibility of forging an alibi? Are you sure she is in front of the computer?" the police chief asked persistently.

Morgan shook his head and gave the sheriff a helpless expression, "There is no possibility of falsification, and she did not leave the camera for more than 10 minutes during this period."

"Okay, the sheriff, please send Miss McRoberts for us, and please don't leave Miami for the time being. Everyone in BAU, please connect with Garcia and **, let's have a meeting." After Hochner finished speaking, he turned to the police Chang nodded and left the interrogation room directly.

"Hochner, is our profile wrong?" Emily first raised objections to their previous profile. She was very firm at first, but the suspect was ruled out, and Hochner said that she would reintegrate Profile, it is inevitable to have doubts.

"I don't think our profile is wrong, but the suspect we found was ruled out. We have to start from scratch to prevent another mistake." Hotchner's eyes were firm.

"I've rethought it. The most likely link to make mistakes is when screening unsubs. We excluded ex-girlfriends and focused on fiancées." Reid's reaction was the fastest.

"Then let's look at Chloe Taylor's relevant clues first, Garcia, what can you tell us about this ex-girlfriend?" Hochner simply accepted Reid's statement, and planned to try his ex-girlfriend first. This road is not going to work.

"Chloe Taylor, a college lecturer with a clean background, I'll check again..." Garcia had initially searched for this ex-girlfriend's information before, and now he began to dig deeper, "My God! She has left Miami!"

"You said she left? How did she leave? Is this absconding in fear of crime?" Everyone was surprised.

"I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of guilt, but... her credit card bought short-distance plane tickets to three nearby states in her name, and there are people taking the seats. Now the most important thing is that all three planes have landed. , We didn't have time to intercept her at the airport, so we can't be sure where she went." Garcia collapsed after looking at the ticket information he found, and when Hozner and the others arrived in Miami, the lady had already boarded the plane.

"She should have left. If she is unsub and regards Josh Stoudemire as her ultimate goal, then she has completed her goal in Miami." Rossi analyzed.

"I think she is more likely to leave by other means. If we move really fast and the plane lands, she may be arrested, so these three plane tickets may all be raped." Hochner looked at Jia According to the flight time given by West Asia, he felt that such a premeditated departure would not take such an obvious risk.

"Knowing that she ordered three tickets to different locations, and there were people boarding the plane, it shows that she is very cunning. Such a high-risk escape method should not be her first choice for real escape." Emily also agrees with Hozner's point of view.

"It should be a safer way to leave. Garcia, can her cell phone be located?" Morgan felt that Taylor's departure was like telling everyone that I was guilty.

"No, the mobile phone under her name has been cancelled. The credit card has not been used after leaving Miami. All this is definitely premeditated!" Garcia kept collecting evidence, but it was a pity that Miss Taylor was clearly prepared and took the people who could find her May be blocked.

"So I can't find her now, and I can't contact her? Should we find her quickly." Morgan frowned. They were far behind now, and they didn't know where Taylor had gone.

"These can wait, there is enough time for her to leave here. Now we have to dig deeper into these clues in Miami. Is it just a superficial connection with Mary McRoberts....Garcia, check this gram carefully." Roy Taylor's whereabouts in Miami! If we can determine her suspicion, we will not be too late to find her." Hozner focused on the case itself.

Rossi kept silent, Hozner looked at the thinking Rossi, "Rosie, what do you think?"

"I just think Mary McRoberts' alibi came at a very timely time." If Rosie had a good impression of Mary McRoberts at first, now he thinks this girl is unfathomable.

"She is not simple, but let's pay attention to unsub now, she is not the only person on the list for the time being." Hozner grabbed Rossi's attention.

"Actually, our initial attention was on Chloe Taylor, but later we shifted our attention because of all the evidence." Reid remembered all the evidence that pointed to it very clearly, but unfortunately an alibi overturned everything.

"Garcia, we need more information. Please tell us that there is evidence to contact Chloe Taylor." Emily put down the information with a headache. They are now at the end of the maze. Going back seems to be a dead end .

"I want to give it to you too, but...the location of the crime, the murder weapon, those electrical kitchen utensils, the person who sent the corpse, etc., can't have any relationship with Chloe Taylor, at least that's what I found out !" Garcia checked again, but there was nothing, so it had nothing to do with Chloe Taylor.

"Is there any news from the forensics?" Alina asked Garcia. As long as there is a report, she must know it sooner than they in Miami.

"No, they checked all the relevant evidence brought back, and there is no one's fingerprints. In addition... they can be sure that your... guesses are all correct." Just after Garcia finished speaking, Hozina over there Already received the call.

"The report came out, just like what Garcia said, it can't give us any more clues." Hozner quickly hung up the phone.

"Can Chloe Taylor's whereabouts within this week be found?"

"According to the credit card, she has been staying between her residence and the university where she works, and has no record of going to other places." Garcia marked the time and place where Chloe Taylor appeared on the map.

"Then is it possible to determine where to buy home appliances and kitchen utensils? If you know the location, check the nearby surveillance cameras." Reid thought of a clue.

"I've looked for it, and there's a tightly wrapped person in the surveillance, and the gender is almost invisible." Garcia gave a blurry photo, with a large windbreaker and a big hood covering half of his face , still wearing a mask, not even her hair was exposed.

"But how did this person get Mary McRoberts' credit card? Mary McRoberts said it was lost, what do you think?" Rossi was still thinking about Mary McRoberts, is she really completely innocent?

"Everything is a problem. There are two people with motives. One escaped, but there was no evidence pointing to it, and the other had an alibi, but all the evidence pointed to her." Reid summed up the current situation. If this continues, there will be no breakthrough. , their chances of solving the case are close to infinitely low.

"So is it possible for these two people to partner?" Emily made a bold guess.

Emily's bold guess attracted everyone's attention, and there were still a few seconds of silence.

"If this is the case, there is still no need for Chloe Taylor to leave. You must know that we have no evidence pointing to her at all. As long as she cooperates to answer the question of the alibi, even if she does not have an alibi, we will not take her. Any way. Why leave to make us suspicious." Morgan didn't think it was right, if it was a planned conspiracy, then leaving would definitely be a failure.

"This is definitely a crime full of hatred. Two rivals in love join hands only if a fourth person appears. This is possible if they get the love that both of them want. But there is no fourth person now, right? Garcia." Alina asked Garcia on the other side of the computer.

"That's right, Mr. Brainless's new love has not appeared. Apart from going to the bar for a drink with his friends from time to time recently, his hotel opening records have not appeared again. This is simply a reflection of his conscience." Garcia denied this possibility.

"Then what's going on? The hatred in this case is very clear, it must be a love killing. I love you so much that I hate you so much that you kill and eat each other...By the way, why did Unsub imprison the victim for a week first? Is there a time limit for this?" Worth it? Also, are those missing persons who look similar to unsub’s handiwork?" Alina asked a little frantically. What, but everyone can't find the thread.

"Maybe this week and those missing people are the direction we need to think about." Rossi turned his gaze to the photo on the whiteboard, "Where are these people? This is the last one (THISISTHELASTONE.), so there must be the previous ones." How many, where did the ones in front go?"
