This is a special laboratory, different from general crime laboratories, this is an independent forensic laboratory, with spacious space and sophisticated equipment, this institute strongly shows the preferential treatment as a government agency.

"hiss……"

"hiss……"

Two cries of pain sounded at the same time.

"do not move……"

"do not move!"

Two male voices also sounded at the same time, but the tone was different. Reid held alcohol cotton in his hand, and Lucida puffed up his cheeks to ask Reid to disinfect her wound. There were slight abrasions on his face, and Brennan was the same, but Agent Booth obviously didn't like it. How to gently disinfect Brennan's wound.

"That is to say, our powerful Dr. Brennan fought with the BAU's special advisor?"

The man with curly hair and a beard said to Zack with a smile on his face. The young doctoral student stood by the table where the skeleton was placed and carefully cleaned the skeleton. He replied in a flat tone: "Yes, just A misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? There will be no misunderstanding in this world. Countless coincidences will become a necessity, and countless misunderstandings will only become a conspiracy."

The curly-haired man expressed his opinion excitedly, but the guy on the opposite side still looked at the skeleton calmly. The man frowned and continued, "I'll go check the fibers."

Zack frowned: "Isn't this about the FBI?"

"Huh? Do you trust the FBI? I told you that the FBI is a group of untrustworthy guys. They are the kind of guys who can mercilessly eradicate those who stand in their way. BAU, do you know what BAU is? ? Behavioral analysis is a group of guys who have no actual evidence at all and only draw conclusions based on their own guesses. I would rather believe in the microscope in my hand than those guys..."

Jack Hodgins is an excellent microbiologist, probably the only shortcoming is conspiracy theories, and the conspiracy theories he talks about sometimes really seem like that.

"Knives and tooth marks on the ribs..."

Zack picked up the rib and took a closer look, Hodgins twitched the corner of his mouth with a flat expression: "Aren't you listening to me again?"

"Yes."

Zack nodded flatly.

"..."

Hodgins wanted to say something more, but Brennan came over, and he shut his mouth, because behind Brennan there was a group of BAUs that made him 'distrust'.

"Zack, how's it going?"

Brennan quickly glanced up and down the bones, and Zack pointed to several places on the bones and said: "I found several knife wounds and tooth marks. The victim was stabbed several times before he was torn apart by wild dogs. I think it's OK." The appearance of the murder weapon can be restored from this knife mark."

"Can you confirm the identity of the victim?"

Morgan asked, Brennan paused: "His skeleton is complete, it can be confirmed that Angela can restore the victim's face."

"Morgan, the victim's face showed signs of surgery."

Reid said suddenly, Morgan nodded knowingly: "He's had plastic surgery."

Morgan looked at Booth, and Booth obviously understood what Morgan meant, and Booth frowned fiercely: "That means we still have five unknown victims? Has Agent Hotch obtained the witness protection information?"

Morgan shook his head: "The prosecutor's office insists on identifying the victim first. If it is one of the witnesses, they will consider whether to hand over the information."

They could dawdle a little longer!Wait until everyone is dead before handing over the information!

"Bones, I leave it to you, get the victim's face out as soon as possible..."

Dr. Brennan didn't like conversations that were unclear at all, she frowned and looked at Booth and said in an irresistible tone: "Can you tell me what happened first?"

Yes, she has the right to participate in the case, Booth pursed his lips and told Brennan the general situation of the case in the most succinct sentence: "We have three victims who are all plastic surgeons, and then we found six documents that secretly performed plastic surgery , since it was the Federal Prosecutor's Office who paid the money, we suspect that the six guys who did the surgery were witness protection..."

"I see, I will give you the answer as soon as possible."

"Of course, I trust Xiaogu's squint-eyed team."

"Don't call me Xiaogu, and we are not squinting."

……

Reid and Lucida stayed and waited for the results, while Morgan and Emily went back to the bureau to join Hotch to do a rough profile. In fact, if the witness protection materials were obtained, the case would progress faster, so confirming the identity of the skeleton became a key issue. the most important thing.

Lucida has read Dr. Brennan's novels. The characters in each novel have their own prototypes. Lucida is very sure that the characters in the novels are based on Dr. Brennan's colleagues. Well, for example, this Jack Hodgins and that ZackAddy, the reduction rate is very high!

"Hey! Don't move! Don't look! Don't touch!"

Hodgins yelled as soon as Lucida approached the table, completely treating Lucida as a foreign invader, Lucida twitched the corners of her mouth, took a step back and raised her hands innocently: "I didn't touch anything."

"..."

Hodgins squinted his eyes, a typical Booth's 'squint eyes', he pouted, and turned towards the direction where Reid was standing, and said displeasedly: "You stay next to that boyfriend, we have a result will tell you."

"..."

The other party obviously didn't like to see her, but Lucida didn't care, because she found that this Hodgins didn't like to see Booth, maybe because he hated the FBI?

"..."

Reid stood not far away, after Lucida walked towards him, Reid frowned and touched Lucida's cheek lightly twice, Reid lowered his voice: "Will it hurt?"

Reid's careful touch made Lucida smile softly: "If I'm in pain, can you give me a blow?"

"..."

Reid's face flushed slightly, in the presence of so many people, the thin-skinned little doctor couldn't do this kind of thing.

"Tsk, now the FBI can allow insiders to fall in love?"

Seeing the interaction between the two, Hodgins curled his lips in disdain, and Zack raised his eyebrows, showing a smile that made Hodgins feel embarrassed: "You are jealous."

"Why am I jealous!" Hodgins was a little furious, why is this kid smiling so sinisterly and triumphantly!

"They can be together even if they are in the same office, but even if you and Angela are in the same laboratory, the ending is very bleak."

"Bloody... boy, is the word bleak used in this way! You deserve to fail your thesis defense! The ending between me and Angela is not called bleak, but...full of the future!"

"It's unknown, Angela rejected your marriage proposal."

Zack directly hit Hodgins' pain point. Hodgins felt extremely painful when he recalled the situation at that time. There is nothing sadder than being rejected for a marriage proposal!

"Shut up, I'll succeed if I ask a few more times."

"Huh? It's kind of weird..."

Zack murmured suddenly, Hodgins widened his eyes and became angry: "You didn't listen to me again?"

"This guy has no fingerprints..."

Zack ignored Hodgins at all, he looked up at Reid, Reid hesitated and walked over, let Lucida stand where he was, he took a few steps forward to block Lucida's view of the skeleton on the table, although the skeleton was The rabid dog ate 90% of the meat, but the finger was unexpectedly well preserved, probably because the hand was tied to the shelf, and the wild dog could not eat it until it was preserved. Reid saw the victim's picture unfolded by Zack There are scars on the fingertips of the hand, Reid frowned and felt strange: "This is a trace of burns, a trace of corrosion from contact with strong acid, are all ten fingers like this?"

Reid asked Zack, and Zack went to the other side to spread the victim's hand, as expected, it was also a burn mark.

"He did it on purpose."

Reid squinted his eyes to examine the burn marks carefully, the young doctor's fast tone and professional tone made Hodgins think that this guy squinted more than the rest of them in the laboratory!

"The nerves in the fingers are the most sensitive. There are more than 250 nerve receptors on each finger. It takes a lot of pain to corrode each finger. He would rather endure this pain than destroy his fingerprints. This guy is in Hiding his identity..." Reid paused: "This burn has been going on for a while, that is to say, he was already hiding his identity before plastic surgery, who the hell is he?"

Reid thought about it, and the young thinking look on his face seemed to Hodgins to be as immature as Zack, and Hodgins sneered: "Do you still need to think about it? This guy must be a gangster, and he spent a lot of time hiding his fingerprints." My own identity, and finally I need plastic surgery and witness protection, this guy must be a treacherous gangster, not everyone doesn’t have fingerprints these days, this guy must not be a good guy.”

Hodgins' conspiracy theory came into play, which was completely logical and logical. Reid was stunned for a while, pursed his lips and thought for a while, and felt that this possibility was very high. From the analysis of criminal methods, the unknown suspect might also be a gang member.

"Wow, a guy without fingerprints isn't a good guy, so what about me, a guy with no fingerprints?"

Lucida felt that she needed to defend herself, the girl raised her hand innocently, Hodgins stared at Lucida's fingers with wide eyes, and suddenly stepped forward to grab Lucida's wrist and check Lucida's fingers.

The slender fingers can only feel how soft the hands are when they hold her. Everyone has fingerprints, but they can’t be seen on her hands. No, it’s incomplete to be precise. There are no fingerprints on the pulp of a woman’s finger , but a piece of smooth skin, as if it had been polished by something, the fingerprints became smooth, making the entire fingerprint incomplete, Hodgins couldn't help chuckling, these hands, no matter what they do will not leave After fingerprinting, Hodgins was a little surprised: "How did you do it?"

There were no fingerprints or signs of injury.

Reid stared at Hodgins holding Lucida's hand, seeing that he didn't let go, Reid narrowed his eyes and pulled the two hands away, Lucida smiled lightly, and held Reid's hand instead, Reid paused for a moment Traces brought the hand holding Lucida behind him, and held it tightly.

"Well, this is a commercial secret."

Lucida won’t say that, it’s just a coincidence. When Lucida first came into contact with artworks, she often made imitations, and then polished them with turpentine. Over time, turpentine rubbed against her fingertips. After ten years, Lucida discovered that her fingerprints Even part of it was worn off.

"This is the face of the victim. This is the face that may be reshaped after modifying the parameters."

Hodgins wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Brennan who came over, she handed Reid two photos, Reid nodded and put them away, and said thank you softly.

******

"This is the reconstructed face of the victim, Martin, is this your protection witness?"

Hotch spread the photos in his hand and sat on the table. The assistant prosecutor named Martin frowned tightly. His expression said everything. He raised his head and asked Hotch: "What you found were the photos of three plastic surgeons. Is it a corpse?"

"Yes."

"Maybe they know about six protection witnesses?"

"Yes."

"..."

Martin looked around at the people present. These people were Hotch's colleagues. He had believed in Hotch's ability before, so he decided to trust Hotch and his colleagues. They could help him. Martin took a deep breath and said slowly: "We have a total of seven protection witnesses. If the other party knows the information of six people, Hotch, please catch the murderer. I can't let my last witness die. He is our only and last chance."

"..." Hotch's expression didn't change, it was his duty, he didn't need to ask, Hotch said flatly, "Then you have to tell everything, what kind of witnesses are they?"

"They are tainted witnesses."

Martin pursed his lips and continued, "In a week's time, they will indict DeQuinceySmith on 53 counts."

"!!!"

For a while, everyone looked at Martin in surprise, even Hotch and Rossi were stunned. Booth felt as if he had heard an incredible name, and he asked again: "DeQuinceySmith? You mean the godfather of the Gambino family De Quincey Smith?"

"Yes, that's him, DeQuinceySmith, the seventh godfather of the Gambino family. Since the FBI captured Peter Gotti in 02, the FBI's continuous attack on the Gambino family has caused their new power to be separated. If DeQuinceySmith can be sued this time, The Gambino family should have been left with only the last of their arrogance."

Martin used a should.

Hotch frowned. "What happened?"

"According to our information, the current godfather of the Gambino family is DeQuinceySmith, but DeQuinceySmith has been arrested and imprisoned, the Gambino family has no rulers, but recently there is news that the Gambino family has a new godfather, no one knows him His identity and background, even his name is not known, they collectively call him 'Don', this guy has reorganized the new power level with thunderous means, he even found out all the FBI undercover agents who broke into the Gambino family member."

"Don is an honorific name for a duke or nobleman in Spanish, or 'Your Excellency'. In the Italian mafia, the person in charge of the family is more often called Boss." Reid's sudden opening made Martin stunned, Reid didn't care about Martin's expression and continued: "Calling him Don means that the new ruler is a young man with new ideas and independent methods. He hates betrayal. Bull Shami is a stain on the Gambino family. The new The person in power will not repeat the mistakes of history, he will deal with all the traitors who violated the 'principle of silence'."

Reid's words made Martin's expression ugly.

The Gambino family is the oldest family in the history of gangsters in New York, gambling, lottery, usury, drugs, aphrodisiacs, smuggling. In the past 70 years, they have been the largest shareholder of the American economy. Their influence on the daily life of Americans is even greater than Wall Street is even bigger, so prosecuting their godfather is what the federal prosecutors want to do most. Bull Shami can be said to be a traitor in gang history. He betrayed his boss and became a tainted witness. He confessed 39 accomplices and sent their boss to federal prison. Therefore, the new power of the Gambino family will not let go of the traitors who are tainted witnesses, even if they, like Shami the bull, joined the witness protection program, even Plastic surgery, they will hunt down to the end.

"Hotch, what to do?"

Martin's begging look made Hotch unable to ignore it, and Hotch looked away, looking at his group.

"What clues do we have about the unknown suspect?"

"There are two unknown suspects. One killed three plastic surgeons, and the other murdered a tainted witness with brutal methods. They should be the killers of the Gambino family."

Emily added just after Morgan said: "They have no affiliation, they belong to the same position, and one of them has a psychosis, and takes pleasure in abuse and excessive killing."

"Most of the Gambino family is active in New York. They will commit crimes in Washington. They will party to the killer who is familiar with this area and knows how to avoid the police. It is possible that the killer is someone who grew up in Washington or has been in Washington. The FBI's criminal system has relevant information. Any information on Gambino family members?"

As an Italian-American, Rossi is a little more familiar with the gang than the rest of the BAU.

"There are most of them."

"Reid, let Garcia look it up." Hotch nodded.

"Ok."

Reid stepped aside to call Garcia, Hotch and others continued to profile, Morgan felt that they could not be so passive, even if they knew who the unknown suspect was, they would not know who their next target was, they needed to take the initiative, Morgan said : "There are seven tainted witnesses, now the unknown suspect knows the information of six tainted witnesses, only the last one is left, so the unknown suspect cares more about the information of the last witness, we can start with the No.7 tainted witness, Get ready before unknown suspects find him."

Rossi completely agrees with Morgan, he curls his lips into a smile: "I like to strike first."

Seeing Rossi's smile, Hotch subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth. Hotch thought for a while: "You mean, our personnel pretended to be tainted witnesses to set up a trap for the unknown suspect?"

"He's going to find the last tainted witness after all."

"...This is also a way."

Hotch nodded in agreement with the approach.

"Then who will pretend to be this tainted witness?"

As soon as Morgan finished asking, he noticed that Rossi was looking at him with a subtle smile on his face, and then at Hotch, who was looking at him blankly, with an unreadable deep meaning in his eyes, Morgan twitched his eyes and looked at To Emily and *, the two nodded at him inexplicably, Morgan looked at Reid depressedly, Reid was on the phone, but he still took the time to give him a thumbs up, what a hair! Morgan finally looked at Lucida, and Lucida smiled at him, as if she had said all her heart, the girl said confidently: "It's up to you! Morgan!"

Decided... Decided you bastard!It's not decided at all!You all look at what is going on with him!

Morgan twitched the corners of his mouth, these bastards...
