There are always bad people who want to harm the family [Comprehensive]

"I have marked the activity areas of these 22 people on the map."

In the temporary office, Reid took a pen to write and draw, and showed everyone his research results, "And Angela Flower Shop, Lani Flower Shop and Sunshine Flower Shop are located in the two areas with the largest overlap, and they are also the three A place where homeless people go missing."

"Garcia, what did you find out about the supply?" Hotch asked.

"Most of their flowers are still imported from Latin America and shipped from Miami. However, I also found a bill," Garcia poked the keyboard with a quill, and said confidently,

"Avery Farm. They registered the name on it. Although I couldn't find the place name in a direct search, I searched all the venues near the address, and I found a manor on the northern outskirts of the town. Said Even the manor is exalting it, from the satellite map, it is a wasteland."

Not sure why, but Ashley Lopez is lying, which certainly complicates matters. Elle looked at Hotch, and the two reached a consensus when their eyes met.

"Avery Scott, he was the previous owner of the estate, but he was a widower and had no children. Therefore, he made a will. After his death, the estate was inherited by his distant niece, Anna Anderson." Garcia Then introduce the situation.

"Where is Anna Anderson now?" Man heard the clue, a little impatiently.

"Hey handsome guy, don't interrupt me so eagerly, our days are still long."

Man couldn't help laughing, and shrugged his shoulders to the little friend who was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, indicating that he would not interrupt anymore.

With a little pride, Garcia raised the corners of her mouth and continued: "Anna Anderson suffers from a family hereditary mental illness. As she grows older, her symptoms become more and more serious. She often has hallucinations and talks to herself. , and even hurt herself, and finally spent the rest of her life in a mental hospital. According to the records, she tried to escape from the mental hospital many times, but was caught again. The last record was in 2009, which is 3 years forward."

"Not her. Garcia, does Anna have any other relatives?" Hotch asked.

"Anderson's family is thin, and Anna is the only child." *oss asked, Garcia naturally didn't dare to play tricks.As she answered, the keyboard was also loudly searching for information, "She has never been married. But..."

"She was drunk and raped when she was 16 years old, and she went to the obstetrics and gynecology department several times. Oh, I checked her delivery records, and she gave birth to the child, and it was a boy!" It's getting more and more exciting, and Garcia is getting more and more frightened.

"Anna dropped out of school, intending to raise the boy herself. After a few years, she moved to the estate. However, it wasn't long before her mental illness started and got worse. She was sent to a nursing home in Virginia, where the child It was also handed over to her mother, who is still in good spirits."

"What's her son's name?" Elle asked.

"John, John Anderson, he took his mother's surname." Garcia couldn't understand why Anna wanted to give birth to this unblessed child, "Anna's father was also a victim of a genetic disease and died in a car accident .And Anna's mother thinks that her daughter's genetic disease will develop so early, which is largely related to her experience of being raped||."

"In fact, since then, Anna's mood and spirit have been very unstable, and she has been maintained by taking medicine. Therefore, after Anna left, the old Mrs. Anderson blamed all the faults on John, and the child was hospitalized at a young age. regulars."

"Is John Anderson at Avery Manor now?" Hotch had already started planning his actions in his mind.

"He didn't go to school completely, and he didn't have any social activities. Looking at the consumption records, he lived with the old Andrews before they died. But 6 years ago, after the old couple passed away, he suddenly seemed like a human being. Vaporized and totally missing. No medical records, no car tickets...nothing," Garcia replied.

"As long as he is still alive, he can always find traces." Nodding, his confident words can always cheer up the low morale, "Garcia, check the social circles of the owners of the three flower shops, especially Angela Flower. Ashley Lopez at the flower shop. Those 3 homeless people disappeared near her flower shop”

This is a good entry point. garcia started searching immediately.

At the same time, H planned to send someone to Avery Manor to check it out.He was about to call Man and Elle, but Detective Hill knocked on the door of their office, signaling that he had something to report.

"We had inspectors who saw Ashley Lopez close the shop and drive away shortly after you guys left. She was wary the whole way and we couldn't keep up with her."

H frowned and returned to the office, and when he was about to explain the situation to them, Garcia suddenly exclaimed——

"Hey, guys, Ashley Lopez used to be John Anderson's classmate in elementary school! Because of John's constant absences and repeated grades, he ended up in the same class as Ashley, who was a few years younger than him - even though they basically I haven't met much. However, this is not the point, I found a piece of news."

She took a deep breath and continued to express her astonishment quickly: "In 1989, there was a report that a mentally disturbed mother buried her child in the mud and planted a tree on it. A rose. She said, this is a process of gestation, a person buried in the mud will not die, he will live forever with the earth, transformed into other life and become eternal."

"Sounds like the teachings of a cult." Elle couldn't help complaining.

"At that time, a classmate who happened to be in the same class as the child happened to find him, so he was able to dig the child out in time. However, due to the long-term lack of oxygen, his brain tissue was damaged, leaving indelible damage." Garcia sighed "I checked the time of the report and related information, and it happened to match John's admission record."

"Let's take a guess. The classmate who arrived in time is Ashley Lopez." Man stood up and looked at Hotch with a slightly joking tone but a serious expression.

H nodded at him, and opened the door of the office: "Ashley Lopez slipped away, she should go to John Anderson. We must rush to Avery Manor immediately."

"Okay, the address has been sent to you." Garcia sighed, and she turned to look at another computer, on which was the picture related to the news - only black and white world, a black light Pit, scattered mounds, behind it... It seems to be a field of flowers, a field of gray roses.It's not so much a beautiful garden as it is a bleak graveyard.

"So," said Reid, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly, "if we consider the relationship between the number and frequency of disappearances and the maturity time of flowers, for example, roses need to be plowed and expanded every year from autumn to before freezing. Fertilize. Then consider the differences between greenhouse planting and various varieties, combined with..."

"Reid," Hotch stopped, looked at him, and beckoned, "Let's go."

*****

And no matter how powerful the bau team is, it is impossible to know that in the place they are about to rush to - in a certain warehouse on Avery Farm, every time Aliya takes a rest, she feels weaker.

Ashley was lying on the fertilizer bag more than ten meters away, but Aliya didn't even know if she was dead or alive.She didn't even have the strength to climb over to confirm...

Leaning her head on the crock pot, just as she was about to gather strength to do something, the pot got stuck in a hole, tilted slightly, and rolled away.Aliya, who was defenseless, directly... slumped to the ground.

The bump, even if it was light, was enough to make her dizzy.She was lying powerlessly on her side, her eyes gradually losing focus.

At this moment, she saw a little light - a few strands of light protruding from the cracks in the wall, which could only be seen from her angle.

At that moment, she finally understood the feelings of a traveler who had been thirsty for several days in the desert and suddenly saw a mirage.Aliya didn't care about the bowl that had rolled away without loyalty, but moved hard towards the direction where the light came from.

It was a hole drilled by a mouse.When these tenacious little guys in life dug out this hole, they must have never thought that there are only flower fertilizers and pesticides here.

However, it is also cheaper for her now.Although most of the hole was blocked, she could still see the outside world and breathe the outside air through such a two-finger-wide gap—she was really suffocating.

The sky outside was getting darker, but there was still plenty of light. From her current angle, she could just see a simple but effective greenhouse, where roses were planted, and the blossoms were beautiful.

"I'm really in the warehouse of the farm." Alia remembered that she had guessed that Ashley's source of goods was near this small town, and now she was probably caught there.

She tried her best to get closer to the gap, trying to get more information while resting.And at this moment, she saw John who had disappeared for a while!

Aliya subconsciously wanted to escape, but after a little movement, she suddenly remembered that she was inside the house, and John who was outside couldn't hurt her for the time being.After figuring this out, she gritted her teeth and moved a little further into the gap.

I saw the big man with his back to her, as if he was dragging something, stepping deeply with every step.When he was approaching the greenhouse, he stopped, threw the things in his hand on a low stake, and walked aside.

It was at this time that Aliya really saw what "that thing" was——

She recognized the dress, the beige lady's coat, the beautiful long brown hair, and the lady who had sat and chatted with her for 4 hours - Keira Clark.

Two days ago, when she was chatting with Keira, she never thought that the other party would be kidnapped a few hours later.And a few hours ago, when she was invited to the police station and told that Keira was missing, she never thought that she would meet again under such circumstances.

Arya thought she was going crazy, she wanted to scream, but the rag gagged her mouth, and she couldn't make a sound at all.All she could do was watch... as John walked toward Kayla with a large, rusty axe.

With a "snap", it was heavy and heavy, with a sticky feeling...

The first cut cut off her right arm, and blood spattered out, but not much.That pale, bloodless hand rolled down from the stake alone.

Kayla...was motionless.

Aliya felt that her nose was sore, and something warm came out of her eye sockets. She wanted to cry aloud, but she couldn't even do such a simple physiological need.

why?

It took Keira 16 years to finally get out of the shadow of her childhood. She has already achieved good happiness, so why should she treat her like this?

She is a devout believer, so what about the God who should have blessed her?Where is that bastard who is everywhere and nowhere?

Why try harder, still can't escape bad luck?What did they do wrong...

The second cut...the third cut...the seventh cut, the internal organs flowed out, and the scene was very bloody.

Throughout the whole process, John was very busy, Keira was motionless from the beginning, and Aaliyah...she was numb.She just lay there on her stomach, her eyes glazed over, tears streaming down her face, and she didn't know how long she lasted.

In her blurred vision, she watched John bury Keira's stumps one by one in the pit dug beforehand, and he scooped up the remaining fragments and sprinkled them on the edge of the flower mud.

The roses in the greenhouse were in full bloom... Alia thought of the red roses she bought from Ashley's store in the morning, with thick branches and leaves, firm | firm and beautifully colored petals, and the nutrients it absorbed... Her stomach churned violently.

The beauty she once admired and pursued was so ugly that it was real.

Aliya could no longer trust her own judgment.At one time, she thought that John had no ill intentions towards her, it was just a certain sentence that touched him that caused him to be confused for a while, but now it seems that the matter is much more complicated.Keira, Ashley...she could be next.she will be divided...

"Live, you must live." Along with the pain, there is also the desire to survive that has become an obsession.She didn't want to bow to fate, and she didn't want to admit defeat no matter what.

Must survive...
