[Variety Drama] Mobility Scourge
Chapter 78 Where is she
Reid and Morgan went to several pharmacies that were close to the police station. If Lucida went to buy medicine, she would go to these pharmacies that were close to the police station. But after asking two of them, they said that Lucida had never been there. At this time, Reid thought One possibility, Lucida may not go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, but to a supermarket closer to the police station, and then according to Lucida's personality, she will find a nearby store to take medicine...
", have you seen her?"
Reid held up the mobile phone to the clerk of the coffee shop. On the screen was a woman with a very bright smile. She put her arm around the owner of the mobile phone and took a selfie with the mobile phone in the other hand. This photo shows the relationship between the two How, the female clerk holding the coffee stared at the screen for a while, then nodded suddenly: "Ah, I remember her, your girlfriend?"
Someone finally saw Lucida, and Reid's tense heart relaxed a little. He put away his phone and nodded shyly: "Yes, do you know where she went?"
Listening to Reid's words, the woman showed a disapproving expression, and even blamed her: "Don't you know that your girlfriend is sick? She came here to order a cup of coffee and a glass of water, and fainted after taking the medicine Yes, it was a kind-hearted person passing by who took her to the hospital."
faint?
"Having fainted? What's the matter with fainting? Who took her away?"
Reid's heart tightened, how could Lucida faint?And... is that really a kind person?
"I gave the lady a glass of water and saw that after she took the medicine, she went to the next table to order. When I turned around, I saw the lady passed out, and a man happened to be holding him up. I was going to call an ambulance and the man said he could drive there..."
Reid's expression looked a little pale, so what kind of kind person is that, that person took Lucida away...
But why?Why lucida?Is it random...or on target?
"Garcia, check the monitors within two streets of the police station to see if there are any suspicious vehicles or people."
When Reid asked, Morgan called Garcia. At the beginning, Garcia knew that the situation was urgent without the usual teasing. Garcia searched for the video Morgan needed, and asked the exact situation: "What happened? Did you find Lucida?" Is it?"
Morgan glanced at Reid, their mascot is in a very bad state now, he didn't doubt whether Reid would endure it to a certain extent and explode, after all, the relationship between Reid and Lucida is not ordinary, they know each other We’ve been together for a long time, and we’ve been in a relationship for a long time, but people in their industry can’t last long. H is like this, Rossi is like this, and he is like this, even married jjs only have families at the expense of the other party’s giving up their careers Stable, people like them have given up because of work.
The relationship between Lucida and Reid is special. As Bau’s outside consultant, Lucida doesn’t get together less often with Reid. She joined because of Reid. Morgan used to think that the relationship between the two of them was , reid is giving, reid is a person who is easy to be emotional, and it is easy to give emotion. This child is more sensitive than others, because he is a genius, so his emotions are delicate, persistent, and focused. Lucida is accommodating Reid, Reid's feelings are delicate, but also dull, he is even contradictory and uneasy, Lucida looks excellent in all aspects, Morgan thinks, she will find that kind of excellent career A handsome man, while Reid is a gentle intellectual woman, but that's it, these two people have been together, even for five years.
Morgan remembered that he once asked Reid, which aspect of Vese did he like? Vese is indeed a likable woman, no matter in terms of appearance or ability, except for her background, she is excellent in every aspect. He remembered that Reid answered him in this way of.
[You ask me which aspect I like?Ugh... before I realized it, I was already liking lucida. 】At that time, the young man still had medium-length hair. When he was asked this question, he subconsciously pushed his hair behind his ears. This is a human subconsciously avoiding sexual movements when avoiding questions, but he did not believe that Reid was so In perfunctory words, he stared at him until his fair face flushed slightly, Reid took a deep breath, his eyes wandered for a while, and then he answered in a dull manner, although his face The expression on the phone is already too shy, oh, he just wanted to tease Reid at that time, but he didn't expect Reid to answer very seriously.
[I like lucida... well, the biggest reason is probably... she gave me the right to love her, and she also gave me the feeling of being loved...] This is probably the so-called...you The person you love also loves you, there is nothing happier than this.
Reid took this relationship seriously, and Vese also responded to this relationship seriously, so he blessed them.
So don't let anything happen to Vese, Reid looks calm on the outside, if he goes crazy...it's hard to stop.
******
"So, as you requested, I checked all the cameras on that street, and... I found this."
As soon as Garcia found out, she immediately notified Reid and Morgan, but she also notified Hotch and the others at the same time. Judging by Garcia's expression, she seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
What Garcia showed a few people was a surveillance video, and Garcia explained to them: "This is a camera on the corner of the street, look..."
The traffic situation of the road is displayed on the screen, but because the coffee shop is next to the street, the outdoor part is also exposed to the monitor. Lucida sits at the table outside the coffee shop and can see clearly. The screen shows Lucida After ordering a cup of coffee and a cup of water, she took the medicine and planned to leave, but after she stood up, a man suddenly approached behind her, the man pressed against Lucida's back, and seemed to say something to Lucida, Lucida was stunned Startled, then Lucida used her elbow to attack the person behind her but was blocked. The man covered Lucida's mouth with his hand, and Lucida slowly collapsed and was hugged by the man. Afterwards, even if someone went up to ask, the man pushed him away. Reid bit his lower lip and watched the man on the screen leave with the unconscious Lucida.
"...reid..."
How many times has Lucida been put in danger, but he is not by her side?
"Reid, it's not your fault."
Morgan knows what Reid is thinking. When encountering such a thing, he and Lucida have gone through so many things. Reid will definitely blame himself. Sure enough, Reid is really blaming himself: "I should accompany her, I shouldn't let her alone Damn, I..."
Reid's fast speech is blaming himself, Morgan raises his voice to stop Reid: "Enough! You should know that this is unpredictable, you can't be by her side every time, you can't every time go out with her..."
JJ tugged on Morgan's clothes indiscriminately, Morgan paused for a moment and didn't continue, because Reid's expression was already too bad, he wanted to cry, but he was remorseful, but he couldn't vent his anger, and blamed himself to the brain Unable to operate, not even a trace of analysis can be performed normally, Reid's whole body is like a broken machine, silently screaming, but he doesn't want people to know.
This was probably the most intense reaction Reid had ever encountered between Reid and Lucida, because...he had...experienced again, the fact that he couldn't protect her at all.
【lucida...】
"hey reid are you crying?"
Garcia's face was displayed on the computer screen, she saw Reid's expression through the camera and exclaimed unexpectedly, and her next words gave Reid great motivation.
"Okay, the next news, you will definitely be happy, I think, I know who took Lucida away."
"what!?"
Discovered so quickly?
"You're amazing, babygirl."
"Oh Garcia, you sure are the best."
Morgan raised the corners of his lips and smiled proudly, JJ couldn't help showing a smile, knowing who took Lucida away, Lucida's whereabouts would be easy to find, Garcia definitely helped them a lot.
"Well, now is not the time to thank me."
Garcia called up a video, which was also a video from a surveillance camera, but this time the video was from a museum.
"Before, Blake and JJ asked me to check if there was any suspicious person here, so, I found a big fish, super big."
There is such a man in the video, who is not conspicuous in the crowd, but he has been standing in front of a statue in the video, staring at it quietly for a long time, looking at the statue in his eyes. People are incomprehensibly affectionate, Blake and JJ saw that the face of the statue was not clearly shown in the video, and they exchanged glances without speaking, but Morgan found that there was something wrong with the expressions of the two, as if they were hiding something from Reid.
"Do you know the identity of this person?"
H frowned and asked, but Garcia answered unhurriedly: "No, I have to show you another one, this one."
As Garcia called up the video of Lucida being taken away again, Reid clenched his hands subconsciously, only to hear Garcia say unhurriedly: "After my witty analysis, this great kind-hearted man accidentally put himself My face was reflected on the glass of the coffee shop, I found a very good friend, of course not as good as mine, but with her help, you see~"
at the same time that the face reflected in the glass changes from blurred to clear, garcia contrasts the image of the man on the screen with the image of the man who stayed in the museum before.
Obviously, it's the same person.
"!!!"
"Is it the genovese taken by the unknown suspect?"
Rossi felt puzzled. The unknown suspect they were chasing this time was very good at hiding their traces. The only failure was the kidnapping of Lucida, but why did they kidnap Lucida?Because she's from bau?No, serial killers would not automatically kidnap police officers. This is an unwise choice. Rossi suddenly had an idea that was impossible...
This is not a kidnapping for bau, but a kidnapping for lucida...the target of the unknown suspect is lucida...even...the other party knows lucida.
"Garcia, do you know your identity?"
"Ralphdavid, a freelance artist, was recognized by security guards. It is said that because he often wanted to touch artworks, he was issued a warning and detained his ID card."
"What kind of artwork fascinated him so much?"
As soon as Rossi finished asking, he found that Blake and JJ were staring at him directly, their eyes seemed to be accusing him of something, Rossi coughed awkwardly: "Is there any problem?"
Now the eyes of Blake and JJ are more accusatory, Blake pursed his lips, and glanced at Reid indiscriminately. H and Rossi both found out, this is the second time that JJ and Blake looked at Reid inadvertently, yes Is there anything that can't let reid know?
"Jj and I have checked the statue where Ralph David often stays. There are some doubts in it. We think there is something wrong with that statue."
"There are corpses too?"
H is not surprised by such conjectures. There is always a fuse for the behavior of the unknown suspect. Feeling hurt is one thing. I am afraid there is another reason in it, that is, he has accomplices or study objects.
"I'm not sure yet, I've already applied for the statue to be brought back for inspection by the forensics department."
But jj also guessed the possibility, and... the statue that resembled Lucida's face felt weird no matter how you looked at it.
"garcia, do you have ralphdavid's address?"
After being silent for a while, Reid finally spoke, and Garcia paused: "Yes, Ralph David was adopted. After working, he left the foster family and rented an apartment by himself."
"Reid, we don't have clear evidence yet."
No matter how the profile is written, in the end it is still necessary to rely on evidence to arrest people. In this case, they did not clearly testify that Ralph David had a clear connection with the several women who were killed.
"..."
Reid lowered his head and didn't speak, but was silent for a while, Reid's always gentle expression was only indifferent: "Well, it has nothing to do with the case, but it has something to do with Lucida." They have clear evidence that Lucida is his Taken away, whether he is a kind person or kidnapped Lucida, he has to ask.
"...Morgan, you and Reid go."
H did not stop Reid, but agreed with Reid's statement. At the same time, he turned sideways and said to Rossi: "Dave, you will go to the forensics department to inquire about the statue later."
"Ok."
******
"Mr. David, please open the door!!!!"
Morgan knocked on the door vigorously, the dim corridor, the cheap rental apartment, the light bulbs in the corridor constantly flickering, reflecting Reid's expression one by one, it was really indescribably dark, Morgan couldn't help muttering in his heart, this is the first time How many times has reid tended to be blackened?
"Who?"
The door was quickly opened, and the man inside was the man who Reid took Lucida away on the screen, Reid subconsciously took a step forward, Morgan explained: "Sorry, we are interrupting, we are the FBI who is investigating a case, we One of the detectives lost contact and was seen and you were the last to see her, where is she?"
"What agent? I don't know what you're talking about?"
Ralph David shook his head, and refused to even open the door for Reid and Reid. Of course, Morgan expected that the other party would not admit it. Morgan continued in a deep voice, "However, we have clear evidence that when she disappeared at the end , You took her away."
"Oh, you said that lady, I sent her to the hospital and left, you are suspecting that I took her? Why? Why should I do this?"
Morgan didn't speak, and that's what he was wondering. The only thing that was puzzling about Lucida's disappearance was, why did he take Lucida away, and what did it have to do with Lucida?
"If it's okay, I..."
Ralphdavid was going to close the door, but at the moment of closing the door, a thin hand with clear meridians suddenly suppressed the door panel, it was Reid, he stared at ralphdavid coldly, and said word by word: "Since it has nothing to do with you , why don't you let us in?"
Reid's tone was very insistent. Ralph David was stunned for a while, squinted his eyes and looked at Reid for a while, then opened the door: "Okay, since you insist."
Ralphdavid's house is very clean. The clothes and items are well organized and neatly arranged. It is not difficult to see that the owner of the house has obsessive-compulsive disorder. After looking around, there is no trace of Lucida. Reid walks back and forth in the room, and Ralphdavid's room is more Simple, just a simple room configuration, the only thing that caught Reid's attention was a few bottles of medicine by the bedside.
"Let me tell you, there is no one, Mr. Detective, instead of wasting time here with me, you should look elsewhere. Maybe, while you are wasting time here, something happened to that agent. .”
Ralphdavid intentionally made a taunt, and when Reid passed by Ralphdavid's side, the tense nerves in his brain snapped. He only felt that his subconscious actions exceeded the control of his brain's rationality, and he knocked Ralphdavid against the wall with his whole body. Roaring: "I know you took her! Why lucida! Where is she!!"
"I don't know what you're talking about, hey, are you roughing up ordinary people like this?!"
Morgan didn't expect Reid's reaction to be so fierce, Morgan immediately pulled Reid away, and quickly dragged Reid out with his body, which was several times stronger than Reid, during the process, Morgan turned around and gave ralphdavid a cold look Threat: "Whether you are suspected or not, we will clarify for you when we find the evidence, but you are now the number one suspect. I hope you will cooperate fully. It will not take long for us to apply for a search warrant."
"..."
Morgan pulled Reid to the wall outside the door and pushed Reid fiercely against the wall, his muscular arms pressed his elbows on Reid's chest, Morgan growled coldly: "Have you had enough! You know that We don't have any proof that we can't do anything to him, do you want to scare the snake away and never find Genovese again?!"
As he said that, Morgan added with a bitter resentment: "Where's your IQ!"
"..."
Reid was hit so badly that his back hurt and his chest hurt too. Hearing Morgan's questioning, Reid puffed up his cheeks and muttered softly, "I'm offline."
"..."
After all, I have known Reid for a long time, Morgan knows Reid's temper, he also softened his voice: "You have to calm down about Genovese, if you don't calm down, who will save her?"
"I'm calm."
Reid replied unwillingly, making Morgan want to slap him, who is the guy who ran away just now?
"The disappearance of Vese is too suspicious and too sudden. We need to clarify our thinking from the beginning. I think this matter is not as simple as a kidnapping as we imagined!"
******
"Besides sighing in my heart, I don't know what to say at all."
Rossi obeyed Hotch's arrangement to check the problem of the sculpture, but as soon as he arrived, the forensics department told him that the statue was not with them and was transferred to the autopsy room. Rossi couldn't help but sighed slightly, full of heart' As expected'.
As soon as Rossi entered the autopsy room, he saw a pile of plaster remains on the ground. Rossi twitched the corners of his mouth and asked curiously, "Won't the museum let you pay for the broken pieces?"
The coroner is a man over 50 years old. He has a beard around his chin. His facial features look very blunt. His sharp eyes make him look less like a coroner than a murderous butcher. , He glanced at Rossi and said angrily: "Hmph, if it's really a cultural relic, then you can ask me to pay for it. No, this is a treasure I dug out from the precious cultural relics."
The coroner pointed to the corpse on the table, and Rossi couldn't help frowning when he looked at it. The corpse...it had been a long time since I saw it. Rossi opened his mouth and asked suspiciously: "From... this statue?" from?"
This corpse has obviously been dead for more than ten years, but in this case, the woman who disappeared the longest was only half a year at most. What's going on?
The coroner's work was almost over. He put the tools aside and told Rossi his findings: "The deceased was a female, aged between 25 and 35. The cause of death was asphyxiation..."
"What about the time of death?"
"20 years."
"However, this statue, according to the museum, has been stored for 20 years."
Rossi's words were exchanged for the coroner's sneer, and he really sneered: "Hehe, what I said is, this corpse died in this statue, how long has it been dead, and how long has the statue been? There were dead bodies in there before."
How bold is that!Put the corpse in the museum, and swapped the real statue, abruptly put the statue with the corpse in the museum for 20 years, and countless people who came to visit in the past 20 years would never have thought that there was a corpse in this statue in!
So, there is a genuine version of this relationship, and there is a crazy obsessed out there who makes a bunch of pirated copies?
"Anything else?"
Rossi vaguely felt that this matter seemed to have become more complicated.
The rough coroner has always been merciless when speaking, but his tone was tinged with ridicule, and he said with a sneer: "Well, of course there are other things. Do you want to listen to two? A professional , an unprofessional."
"..."
Rossi raised his eyebrows, why does this sound...like...'I have good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear~' tone.
"Professional is..."
Hearing what Rossi said, the coroner shrugged his shoulders and said in a tone of exclamation: "In terms of professionalism, I can say that the handling of this corpse is quite excellent. After 20 years, it is not that a corpse of this level remains. It can be well preserved simply by being sealed in a plaster statue, she was put in after death, if you want me to say, the person who handled this corpse has a very high medical level."
"What about... non-professionals?"
The coroner pursed his lips to signal Rossi to look at the broken plaster, and Rossi turned his head to look at it carefully: "This?"
"That's it. From my non-professional point of view, this plaster statue is quite good. I also checked the original statue. I feel that this one is more detailed than the genuine one."
"..."
Rossi couldn't help chuckling, squatted down and picked up a fragment to check it out. The plaster had also turned yellow after 20 years. However, when Rossi's eyes touched the intact face of the broken plaster statue, his eyes moved away. Don't open it, now he knows why JJ and Blake's reaction is so strange, and he can't blame them for thinking too much, even he feels a little eerie looking at it.
This face is really somewhat similar to Lucida.
"Was this statue also made 20 years ago?"
"It's been at least 20 years. Apart from the fact that I took out the body, there is no trace of it being touched."
What the coroner said made Rossi even more confused. Why does a statue that has been in the museum for 20 years have such a similar expression to Lucida? 20 years ago, Lucida was only nine years old, combined with the attitude of the unknown suspect towards the statue and towards Lucida...
Etc., etc……
Back to lucida again.
What does this matter have to do with Lucida?
"Oh, by the way, I found one more thing."
The coroner's words suddenly faltered. He pointed to the corpse covered in a white cloth, pointed to the chest, and said, "She had an operation before she died."
"what?"
"Heart transplant, and it was a success."
******
"Hey, beauty, don't you feel bored without talking along the way?"
A man driving a truck will always casually leave behind the beautiful woman in the passenger seat. He is a man who often drives a truck on country roads. He is just over [-], and he listens to the broadcast on the radio and travels to and from remote towns every day. Of course, he passed a lot of passers-by by the way, and this time it was a beautiful woman who got lost.
He met her at the gas station in the previous town. The woman stood at the intersection and looked at the front in confusion. He thought she was lost, so he went up to ask her, only to hear that the place reported by the woman was neither far nor near. , he can take a little while, the woman is very beautiful, with red hair, fair skin, and a look of confusion on her face, which will make some rough men have compassion, well, he has a heart for God I swear, he is a good man, he will leave as soon as this woman walks, really!
But... the woman didn't talk much on this road, it was really boring, he would hum a few words while driving on the road.
"Hey, beauty, where are you from, what city are you from?"
He decided to strike up a conversation first, and only listened to the woman's calm, not indifferent answer: "...Well, New York."
"Wow, urban women, why do you want to go to Stella? Although it's close to a big town, it's not very safe. I heard that another child has disappeared recently."
lla is a small town, at least all kinds of facilities are complete, after the man asked the question, there was a silence, he thought the woman would not answer him, but not long after, she heard the woman and her expression Consistent with the same confused tone: "I don't know, it's just that there is a voice in my mind telling me to go there, I always feel that there is what I want..."
"Wow."
There was no answer, and the topic fell silent again. The man couldn't help asking another question: "Hey, the beauty is beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?"
"..."
The woman lowered her head, and the man immediately closed his mouth, well, from this appearance, it means that they broke up, and now they are in a bad mood and come out to relax... right?
"... I... seem to have a boyfriend?"
seem?
The woman turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and the expression reflected on the glass was unprecedentedly confused and... puzzled.
She actually doesn't know why she is here, why she always wants to go to that place called Stella, she seems to have something else to do, but she can't remember it at all, every time she thinks about it, there is always something in her mind. A voice was urging her to go to Stella. She had been in a daze since she woke up, walking out of a strange warehouse and walking on a strange street...
why?
what is she doing?
She asked herself this way, but her brain still drove her body forward.
"reid..."
The woman murmured in a low voice, and then became confused again.
Who is Reid?
At this time, Reid would not have imagined that the Lucida he was looking for was on his way to a remote town. She hadn't been kidnapped or disappeared, but...she was moving forward unconsciously. If Reid was there, he might be able to find the woman Abnormal, but she was alone at this time, she was still moving forward in a daze, to... the most dangerous place she had ever encountered in her life...
【Ah, the time is up, it's time for the tired bird to return to its nest...】
There was such a voice, depressing and deep, as if teasing something that made him feel interesting, he almost murmured and sighed softly in a pleasant tone, this voice has been echoing in Lucida's mind, constantly, constantly.
【Time is up. 】
", have you seen her?"
Reid held up the mobile phone to the clerk of the coffee shop. On the screen was a woman with a very bright smile. She put her arm around the owner of the mobile phone and took a selfie with the mobile phone in the other hand. This photo shows the relationship between the two How, the female clerk holding the coffee stared at the screen for a while, then nodded suddenly: "Ah, I remember her, your girlfriend?"
Someone finally saw Lucida, and Reid's tense heart relaxed a little. He put away his phone and nodded shyly: "Yes, do you know where she went?"
Listening to Reid's words, the woman showed a disapproving expression, and even blamed her: "Don't you know that your girlfriend is sick? She came here to order a cup of coffee and a glass of water, and fainted after taking the medicine Yes, it was a kind-hearted person passing by who took her to the hospital."
faint?
"Having fainted? What's the matter with fainting? Who took her away?"
Reid's heart tightened, how could Lucida faint?And... is that really a kind person?
"I gave the lady a glass of water and saw that after she took the medicine, she went to the next table to order. When I turned around, I saw the lady passed out, and a man happened to be holding him up. I was going to call an ambulance and the man said he could drive there..."
Reid's expression looked a little pale, so what kind of kind person is that, that person took Lucida away...
But why?Why lucida?Is it random...or on target?
"Garcia, check the monitors within two streets of the police station to see if there are any suspicious vehicles or people."
When Reid asked, Morgan called Garcia. At the beginning, Garcia knew that the situation was urgent without the usual teasing. Garcia searched for the video Morgan needed, and asked the exact situation: "What happened? Did you find Lucida?" Is it?"
Morgan glanced at Reid, their mascot is in a very bad state now, he didn't doubt whether Reid would endure it to a certain extent and explode, after all, the relationship between Reid and Lucida is not ordinary, they know each other We’ve been together for a long time, and we’ve been in a relationship for a long time, but people in their industry can’t last long. H is like this, Rossi is like this, and he is like this, even married jjs only have families at the expense of the other party’s giving up their careers Stable, people like them have given up because of work.
The relationship between Lucida and Reid is special. As Bau’s outside consultant, Lucida doesn’t get together less often with Reid. She joined because of Reid.

So don't let anything happen to Vese, Reid looks calm on the outside, if he goes crazy...it's hard to stop.

"So, as you requested, I checked all the cameras on that street, and... I found this."

This was probably the most intense reaction Reid had ever encountered between Reid and Lucida, because...he had...experienced again, the fact that he couldn't protect her at all.
【lucida...】
"hey reid are you crying?"
Garcia's face was displayed on the computer screen, she saw Reid's expression through the camera and exclaimed unexpectedly, and her next words gave Reid great motivation.
"Okay, the next news, you will definitely be happy, I think, I know who took Lucida away."
"what!?"
Discovered so quickly?
"You're amazing, babygirl."
"Oh Garcia, you sure are the best."
Morgan raised the corners of his lips and smiled proudly, JJ couldn't help showing a smile, knowing who took Lucida away, Lucida's whereabouts would be easy to find, Garcia definitely helped them a lot.
"Well, now is not the time to thank me."
Garcia called up a video, which was also a video from a surveillance camera, but this time the video was from a museum.
"Before, Blake and JJ asked me to check if there was any suspicious person here, so, I found a big fish, super big."
There is such a man in the video, who is not conspicuous in the crowd, but he has been standing in front of a statue in the video, staring at it quietly for a long time, looking at the statue in his eyes. People are incomprehensibly affectionate, Blake and JJ saw that the face of the statue was not clearly shown in the video, and they exchanged glances without speaking, but Morgan found that there was something wrong with the expressions of the two, as if they were hiding something from Reid.
"Do you know the identity of this person?"
H frowned and asked, but Garcia answered unhurriedly: "No, I have to show you another one, this one."
As Garcia called up the video of Lucida being taken away again, Reid clenched his hands subconsciously, only to hear Garcia say unhurriedly: "After my witty analysis, this great kind-hearted man accidentally put himself My face was reflected on the glass of the coffee shop, I found a very good friend, of course not as good as mine, but with her help, you see~"
at the same time that the face reflected in the glass changes from blurred to clear, garcia contrasts the image of the man on the screen with the image of the man who stayed in the museum before.
Obviously, it's the same person.
"!!!"
"Is it the genovese taken by the unknown suspect?"
Rossi felt puzzled. The unknown suspect they were chasing this time was very good at hiding their traces. The only failure was the kidnapping of Lucida, but why did they kidnap Lucida?Because she's from bau?No, serial killers would not automatically kidnap police officers. This is an unwise choice. Rossi suddenly had an idea that was impossible...
This is not a kidnapping for bau, but a kidnapping for lucida...the target of the unknown suspect is lucida...even...the other party knows lucida.
"Garcia, do you know your identity?"
"Ralphdavid, a freelance artist, was recognized by security guards. It is said that because he often wanted to touch artworks, he was issued a warning and detained his ID card."
"What kind of artwork fascinated him so much?"
As soon as Rossi finished asking, he found that Blake and JJ were staring at him directly, their eyes seemed to be accusing him of something, Rossi coughed awkwardly: "Is there any problem?"
Now the eyes of Blake and JJ are more accusatory, Blake pursed his lips, and glanced at Reid indiscriminately. H and Rossi both found out, this is the second time that JJ and Blake looked at Reid inadvertently, yes Is there anything that can't let reid know?
"Jj and I have checked the statue where Ralph David often stays. There are some doubts in it. We think there is something wrong with that statue."
"There are corpses too?"
H is not surprised by such conjectures. There is always a fuse for the behavior of the unknown suspect. Feeling hurt is one thing. I am afraid there is another reason in it, that is, he has accomplices or study objects.
"I'm not sure yet, I've already applied for the statue to be brought back for inspection by the forensics department."
But jj also guessed the possibility, and... the statue that resembled Lucida's face felt weird no matter how you looked at it.
"garcia, do you have ralphdavid's address?"
After being silent for a while, Reid finally spoke, and Garcia paused: "Yes, Ralph David was adopted. After working, he left the foster family and rented an apartment by himself."
"Reid, we don't have clear evidence yet."
No matter how the profile is written, in the end it is still necessary to rely on evidence to arrest people. In this case, they did not clearly testify that Ralph David had a clear connection with the several women who were killed.
"..."
Reid lowered his head and didn't speak, but was silent for a while, Reid's always gentle expression was only indifferent: "Well, it has nothing to do with the case, but it has something to do with Lucida." They have clear evidence that Lucida is his Taken away, whether he is a kind person or kidnapped Lucida, he has to ask.
"...Morgan, you and Reid go."
H did not stop Reid, but agreed with Reid's statement. At the same time, he turned sideways and said to Rossi: "Dave, you will go to the forensics department to inquire about the statue later."
"Ok."
******
"Mr. David, please open the door!!!!"
Morgan knocked on the door vigorously, the dim corridor, the cheap rental apartment, the light bulbs in the corridor constantly flickering, reflecting Reid's expression one by one, it was really indescribably dark, Morgan couldn't help muttering in his heart, this is the first time How many times has reid tended to be blackened?
"Who?"
The door was quickly opened, and the man inside was the man who Reid took Lucida away on the screen, Reid subconsciously took a step forward, Morgan explained: "Sorry, we are interrupting, we are the FBI who is investigating a case, we One of the detectives lost contact and was seen and you were the last to see her, where is she?"
"What agent? I don't know what you're talking about?"
Ralph David shook his head, and refused to even open the door for Reid and Reid. Of course, Morgan expected that the other party would not admit it. Morgan continued in a deep voice, "However, we have clear evidence that when she disappeared at the end , You took her away."
"Oh, you said that lady, I sent her to the hospital and left, you are suspecting that I took her? Why? Why should I do this?"
Morgan didn't speak, and that's what he was wondering. The only thing that was puzzling about Lucida's disappearance was, why did he take Lucida away, and what did it have to do with Lucida?
"If it's okay, I..."
Ralphdavid was going to close the door, but at the moment of closing the door, a thin hand with clear meridians suddenly suppressed the door panel, it was Reid, he stared at ralphdavid coldly, and said word by word: "Since it has nothing to do with you , why don't you let us in?"
Reid's tone was very insistent. Ralph David was stunned for a while, squinted his eyes and looked at Reid for a while, then opened the door: "Okay, since you insist."
Ralphdavid's house is very clean. The clothes and items are well organized and neatly arranged. It is not difficult to see that the owner of the house has obsessive-compulsive disorder. After looking around, there is no trace of Lucida. Reid walks back and forth in the room, and Ralphdavid's room is more Simple, just a simple room configuration, the only thing that caught Reid's attention was a few bottles of medicine by the bedside.
"Let me tell you, there is no one, Mr. Detective, instead of wasting time here with me, you should look elsewhere. Maybe, while you are wasting time here, something happened to that agent. .”
Ralphdavid intentionally made a taunt, and when Reid passed by Ralphdavid's side, the tense nerves in his brain snapped. He only felt that his subconscious actions exceeded the control of his brain's rationality, and he knocked Ralphdavid against the wall with his whole body. Roaring: "I know you took her! Why lucida! Where is she!!"
"I don't know what you're talking about, hey, are you roughing up ordinary people like this?!"
Morgan didn't expect Reid's reaction to be so fierce, Morgan immediately pulled Reid away, and quickly dragged Reid out with his body, which was several times stronger than Reid, during the process, Morgan turned around and gave ralphdavid a cold look Threat: "Whether you are suspected or not, we will clarify for you when we find the evidence, but you are now the number one suspect. I hope you will cooperate fully. It will not take long for us to apply for a search warrant."
"..."
Morgan pulled Reid to the wall outside the door and pushed Reid fiercely against the wall, his muscular arms pressed his elbows on Reid's chest, Morgan growled coldly: "Have you had enough! You know that We don't have any proof that we can't do anything to him, do you want to scare the snake away and never find Genovese again?!"
As he said that, Morgan added with a bitter resentment: "Where's your IQ!"
"..."
Reid was hit so badly that his back hurt and his chest hurt too. Hearing Morgan's questioning, Reid puffed up his cheeks and muttered softly, "I'm offline."
"..."
After all, I have known Reid for a long time, Morgan knows Reid's temper, he also softened his voice: "You have to calm down about Genovese, if you don't calm down, who will save her?"
"I'm calm."
Reid replied unwillingly, making Morgan want to slap him, who is the guy who ran away just now?
"The disappearance of Vese is too suspicious and too sudden. We need to clarify our thinking from the beginning. I think this matter is not as simple as a kidnapping as we imagined!"
******
"Besides sighing in my heart, I don't know what to say at all."
Rossi obeyed Hotch's arrangement to check the problem of the sculpture, but as soon as he arrived, the forensics department told him that the statue was not with them and was transferred to the autopsy room. Rossi couldn't help but sighed slightly, full of heart' As expected'.
As soon as Rossi entered the autopsy room, he saw a pile of plaster remains on the ground. Rossi twitched the corners of his mouth and asked curiously, "Won't the museum let you pay for the broken pieces?"
The coroner is a man over 50 years old. He has a beard around his chin. His facial features look very blunt. His sharp eyes make him look less like a coroner than a murderous butcher. , He glanced at Rossi and said angrily: "Hmph, if it's really a cultural relic, then you can ask me to pay for it. No, this is a treasure I dug out from the precious cultural relics."
The coroner pointed to the corpse on the table, and Rossi couldn't help frowning when he looked at it. The corpse...it had been a long time since I saw it. Rossi opened his mouth and asked suspiciously: "From... this statue?" from?"
This corpse has obviously been dead for more than ten years, but in this case, the woman who disappeared the longest was only half a year at most. What's going on?
The coroner's work was almost over. He put the tools aside and told Rossi his findings: "The deceased was a female, aged between 25 and 35. The cause of death was asphyxiation..."
"What about the time of death?"
"20 years."
"However, this statue, according to the museum, has been stored for 20 years."
Rossi's words were exchanged for the coroner's sneer, and he really sneered: "Hehe, what I said is, this corpse died in this statue, how long has it been dead, and how long has the statue been? There were dead bodies in there before."
How bold is that!Put the corpse in the museum, and swapped the real statue, abruptly put the statue with the corpse in the museum for 20 years, and countless people who came to visit in the past 20 years would never have thought that there was a corpse in this statue in!
So, there is a genuine version of this relationship, and there is a crazy obsessed out there who makes a bunch of pirated copies?
"Anything else?"
Rossi vaguely felt that this matter seemed to have become more complicated.
The rough coroner has always been merciless when speaking, but his tone was tinged with ridicule, and he said with a sneer: "Well, of course there are other things. Do you want to listen to two? A professional , an unprofessional."
"..."
Rossi raised his eyebrows, why does this sound...like...'I have good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear~' tone.
"Professional is..."
Hearing what Rossi said, the coroner shrugged his shoulders and said in a tone of exclamation: "In terms of professionalism, I can say that the handling of this corpse is quite excellent. After 20 years, it is not that a corpse of this level remains. It can be well preserved simply by being sealed in a plaster statue, she was put in after death, if you want me to say, the person who handled this corpse has a very high medical level."
"What about... non-professionals?"
The coroner pursed his lips to signal Rossi to look at the broken plaster, and Rossi turned his head to look at it carefully: "This?"
"That's it. From my non-professional point of view, this plaster statue is quite good. I also checked the original statue. I feel that this one is more detailed than the genuine one."
"..."
Rossi couldn't help chuckling, squatted down and picked up a fragment to check it out. The plaster had also turned yellow after 20 years. However, when Rossi's eyes touched the intact face of the broken plaster statue, his eyes moved away. Don't open it, now he knows why JJ and Blake's reaction is so strange, and he can't blame them for thinking too much, even he feels a little eerie looking at it.
This face is really somewhat similar to Lucida.
"Was this statue also made 20 years ago?"
"It's been at least 20 years. Apart from the fact that I took out the body, there is no trace of it being touched."
What the coroner said made Rossi even more confused. Why does a statue that has been in the museum for 20 years have such a similar expression to Lucida? 20 years ago, Lucida was only nine years old, combined with the attitude of the unknown suspect towards the statue and towards Lucida...
Etc., etc……
Back to lucida again.
What does this matter have to do with Lucida?
"Oh, by the way, I found one more thing."
The coroner's words suddenly faltered. He pointed to the corpse covered in a white cloth, pointed to the chest, and said, "She had an operation before she died."
"what?"
"Heart transplant, and it was a success."
******
"Hey, beauty, don't you feel bored without talking along the way?"
A man driving a truck will always casually leave behind the beautiful woman in the passenger seat. He is a man who often drives a truck on country roads. He is just over [-], and he listens to the broadcast on the radio and travels to and from remote towns every day. Of course, he passed a lot of passers-by by the way, and this time it was a beautiful woman who got lost.
He met her at the gas station in the previous town. The woman stood at the intersection and looked at the front in confusion. He thought she was lost, so he went up to ask her, only to hear that the place reported by the woman was neither far nor near. , he can take a little while, the woman is very beautiful, with red hair, fair skin, and a look of confusion on her face, which will make some rough men have compassion, well, he has a heart for God I swear, he is a good man, he will leave as soon as this woman walks, really!
But... the woman didn't talk much on this road, it was really boring, he would hum a few words while driving on the road.
"Hey, beauty, where are you from, what city are you from?"
He decided to strike up a conversation first, and only listened to the woman's calm, not indifferent answer: "...Well, New York."
"Wow, urban women, why do you want to go to Stella? Although it's close to a big town, it's not very safe. I heard that another child has disappeared recently."
lla is a small town, at least all kinds of facilities are complete, after the man asked the question, there was a silence, he thought the woman would not answer him, but not long after, she heard the woman and her expression Consistent with the same confused tone: "I don't know, it's just that there is a voice in my mind telling me to go there, I always feel that there is what I want..."
"Wow."
There was no answer, and the topic fell silent again. The man couldn't help asking another question: "Hey, the beauty is beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?"
"..."
The woman lowered her head, and the man immediately closed his mouth, well, from this appearance, it means that they broke up, and now they are in a bad mood and come out to relax... right?
"... I... seem to have a boyfriend?"
seem?
The woman turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and the expression reflected on the glass was unprecedentedly confused and... puzzled.
She actually doesn't know why she is here, why she always wants to go to that place called Stella, she seems to have something else to do, but she can't remember it at all, every time she thinks about it, there is always something in her mind. A voice was urging her to go to Stella. She had been in a daze since she woke up, walking out of a strange warehouse and walking on a strange street...
why?
what is she doing?
She asked herself this way, but her brain still drove her body forward.
"reid..."
The woman murmured in a low voice, and then became confused again.
Who is Reid?
At this time, Reid would not have imagined that the Lucida he was looking for was on his way to a remote town. She hadn't been kidnapped or disappeared, but...she was moving forward unconsciously. If Reid was there, he might be able to find the woman Abnormal, but she was alone at this time, she was still moving forward in a daze, to... the most dangerous place she had ever encountered in her life...
【Ah, the time is up, it's time for the tired bird to return to its nest...】
There was such a voice, depressing and deep, as if teasing something that made him feel interesting, he almost murmured and sighed softly in a pleasant tone, this voice has been echoing in Lucida's mind, constantly, constantly.
【Time is up. 】
