Police station——
"The victims this time were all adult women. They had been abused during their lifetimes. After their deaths, the murderer slashed half of their faces."
A whiteboard was covered with photos of the previous four victims. Members of the behavioral analysis unit and police officers sat on chairs and looked at the police officers in charge of the case.
Jason Gideon crossed his arms with his chest and looked over the photos with a serious face.
"The first victim was killed three months ago. Since then, we have been investigating but to no avail. Because her face was scratched, we initially determined it to be a vendetta."
"We investigated her relationships, friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc., and found no suspect who matched the characteristics."
Aaron Hotchner, who looked stern and meticulous in a suit and tie, asked: "What other characteristics did the victims have in common? For example, the same beliefs, going to the same place at a certain time?"
The policeman thought for a moment and shook his head.
Al Greenoway: "The first victim was killed three months ago, the second victim two months ago, and two people have died this month."
Derek Morgan: "Something must have stimulated him. He became bolder and more dangerous."
"Can you determine the time of death of the last victim?" Hotchner asked.
"The appraisal report has come out." Jennifer Jeange said, turning over the report in her hand.
After a round of discussion, Gideon turned around and said, "Let's go to the place where the body was dumped last night. JJ and Red will go visit the victim's family and the people who found the scene."
A group of people took action individually.
…
Louisa did not go to the cafeteria to eat at noon. Winnie and Melissa, non-resident students, did not have permission to enter the dormitory building, so they could only buy lunch and deliver it to the dormitory downstairs.
Luisa came down wearing slippers, her blond hair, which she usually took care of carefully, was messy, and her face still had marks from sleep.
"Are you okay?" Melissa asked.
"I made up for the sleep I got last night. I didn't have any nightmares." Louisa took the bag and scratched her head and said, "But I don't think I will ever throw away garbage at night again."
Seeing that she was in good spirits, both Winnie and Melissa laughed, "You have a good rest, this is just an accident, forget about it as soon as possible." Winnie said.
Luisa: "You too, don't worry about me, I will go back to class tomorrow."
Winnie and Melissa were called out by the teacher before class started in the afternoon. There were two people outside who claimed to be the FBI and wanted to see them. Perhaps wanting them to relax, they met on the tree-shaded path of the school. When they arrived, Louisa, who was resting in the dormitory, came from a distance.
Because of what happened last night, one asked for leave and the other looked haggard, so Melissa thought she should be stronger and stood in front of them: "Are you the FBI?"
Two FBI members, a beautiful blonde, and a thin young man carrying a satchel who looked nothing like the FBI.
JJ and Red were also sizing them up. The girl with short black hair looked at them suspiciously, trying her best to look strong. The blond-haired girl was wearing pajamas and a jacket, and she pulled at the hem of her clothes uncomfortably. Even though the most dazzling girl among the three looks haggard, it doesn't make her any less attractive at all. Just a blank look in her eyes can arouse people's desire for protection.
JJ and Rhett took out their IDs and showed them to them. After proving their identities, they asked the three about what happened last night, hoping to be as careful as possible.
The parking lot over there didn't even have clear street lights, let alone a surveillance camera installed in the corner. Some information could only be obtained from them.
Although they had already said it once at the police station yesterday, the girls didn't mind repeating it again in order to solve the case.
"I was the one who found the body first last night," Louisa said.
Louisa told the story of how she accidentally stepped on dog poop and then went to throw out the trash, and finally found the body.
Louisa: "I was so frightened that I went back to find Winnie and the others crying, and took them back to see the police report."
Rhett: "Did you notice anyone in the parking lot at that time?"
Melissa: "There should be no one. Someone came not long after we called the police. They should be the car owners, and no one drove away in the middle."
JJ: "Did you feel anything strange at that time? For example, strange sounds or something like that."
Louisa thought for a while and shook her head: "Sorry, it was really dark at that time. I was afraid of stepping on dirty things again and kept paying attention to the ground. Then I was very scared."
During the questioning process, Winnie basically said nothing. She seemed like a quiet, beautiful and somewhat fragile girl.
The two FBI agents soon left the school. Winnie and Melissa were going to class, and Louisa was going back to her dormitory. The afternoon passed quickly. Winnie also searched for reports on last night's victims on her mobile phone. The police also posted a profile of the murderer, reminding the townspeople to be vigilant and call the police if they find similar people around them. clue.
Although she already had some understanding of the dangers of this world, Winnie really didn't expect that she would be exposed to serial murders so quickly. She just hoped that these serial killers would have some discernment and not provoke her, otherwise she wouldn't mind how much this world has to offer. Several unsolved cases.
Because of news reports, it was obvious that more students were walking together after school. The first four victims were all female. Although the girls did not think this would happen to them, they also subconsciously avoided going home alone.
Winnie also rejected several boys who were kind enough to escort her home. She didn't want to reveal her address for the sake of her reputation, and she didn't have to worry about the trouble she would get in the future.
On the way home, Winnie also went to the restaurant to pack dishes. Lisa invited Winnie to have a dinner with the Gordon family next door. Winnie was too lazy to do it herself but was happy to spend money for additional meals.
By the time she got home, Mia and Lisa had already started preparing dinner, and Winnie knocked on the door of Eisen's house with packed food.
Lisa looked at the bag in Winnie's hand: "Oh, it seems we can prepare a few less dishes." She smiled and gave way.
A small stroller was parked in the living room of Lisa's house, and Leah from Gordon's house was reaching for the puppet wind chime hanging above with her big watery eyes, saying "Ahhhhh" and only herself. Only then can you understand the words.
"Hi, good afternoon little Leah." Winnie lowered her head and looked at the baby and said with a smile.
"Ah~ah." The little baby was attracted by Winnie's voice and gave her a salivating smile.
Naturally, the kind-hearted Miss Green couldn't just sit in the living room and wait for the meal to be served. She walked to the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Mia was chopping onions, wiping tears with the back of her hands because of the pain: "Can you help me peel some garlic?"
Winnie: "Okay."
Winnie came back, and their conversation changed from parenting to the news.
"Have you not found the murderer yet?"
"Not yet, four people have died. It's really terrible."
"Before the murderer is arrested, you should try to go out during the day, and the doors and windows at home should be closed." At this point, Lisa said worriedly: "How about I change the door?"
Mia was also seriously considering this issue after hearing this. She also has a baby at home.
Winnie looked at the windows of Lisa's house. The windows of their house were pushed outwards. She always felt that their doors and windows were quite unreliable. They could leave the windows open without guardrails. If someone came through the windows, You can't even find it if you sneak into your home.
"Should we add security windows to the windows on the first floor?" Winnie asked.
Americans who are free-spirited by nature certainly don’t want to change the windows of their homes like that. Not only will the ugly view be blocked, but it will also feel like living behind bars.
Lisa and Mia firmly declined Winnie's proposal.
"Okay then." Winnie put the peeled garlic into a small bowl nonchalantly.
…
The busy campus became quiet during the day, and Louisa lived in a dormitory for four people. By this time, everyone had already had dinner, and they were all sitting on their beds scrolling through their phones.
Louisa's condition has basically adjusted back, and she is in the mood to watch dramas online and chat about gossip after almost sleeping all day. At six or seven in the evening, Louisa's cell phone suddenly received a strange call.
Luisa answered without much thought: "Hello?"
Male voice: "Hello, Louisa Veblen?"
Luisa: "It's me, who are you?"
Male voice: "I'm in a hurry to deliver the next express delivery. Can you leave your express delivery at the school gate? Remember to pick it up later."
This is obviously a very irresponsible courier who thinks he can handle the customer's package casually with just a short notice.
Hearing what he said, Louisa immediately sat up and was very unhappy: "Is there anyone who delivers express like you? What time is it now? What if someone takes it away when you leave it at the school gate?"
The other three roommates in the dormitory turned to look at her, but didn't take it to heart.
The male voice that originally sounded polite suddenly became impatient: "I put it inside the school gate. There is a wall blocking it. Just wait and get it." After saying that, he hung up before Louisa could reply.
Louisa called twice and looked at the hung up phone in disbelief. It was the first time in her life that she met such an arrogant and unreliable courier.
Louisa cursed angrily and got out of bed to put on her shoes, fearing that the package would be taken away. At this time, there was only a glimmer of light left in the sky but it was about to darken. Louisa walked quickly on the path. As a result, when she arrived at the school gate and walked around the door without seeing the package, she suddenly became angry.
Thinking that one of the students had probably taken it away, Luisa was angry and anxious and called the courier just now: "Where is my package?!"
Male voice: "At the school gate."
Louisa was so angry that she circled around the door: "No! I've looked for it!"
The male voice on the other end was silent for a moment: "It's impossible, I'll let it go."
They chatted on the phone for a long time, and the courier was so arrogant that he refused to admit his mistakes, which made Louisa very angry. Especially since she didn’t know who sent her the package, how much the contents were worth, and she didn’t know how to make a claim. It wasn't until she said she wanted to complain that the man relented and said she could compensate in private.
The male voice said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I'll go back now and pay you cash. The package information shows that it's just clothes. Is it enough to pay you $30?"
Luisa was so angry that she put her hands on her hips because of the argument just now. She was even more angry because she didn’t know the specific value of the clothes. She always felt that she was at a loss: “You will be back soon!”
After hanging up the phone, Luisa called her mother to ask if they were the clothes she sent, but the answer given there was no. Louisa was a little confused for a while. She was usually very popular and had many friends before. She even had a boyfriend in high school. Now she has no idea who bought the clothes for her.
Could it be that the ex-boyfriend wants to get back together?
Soon a car drove up around the corner, honked its horn and stopped, obviously deliberately letting Luisa walk over by herself.
It was obvious that the other party was irresponsible and lost the package. They shied away from responsibility and argued back and forth, and finally reluctantly offered compensation. Now I deliberately find it difficult to find it and don't even bother to drive over.
Louisa:…
She gritted her teeth and ran over, when she saw the car door opened and a man wearing a peaked cap stepped out from the driver's seat. The man opened the car door while talking on the phone and was looking for something. When Luisa walked over, she heard the man telling the other end of the phone that a customer was messing around and delaying his time, and that he would send the package after the problem was solved.
Louisa has never seen such a shameless person!
She ran over and said angrily: "Hey! You..."
Before she could finish her words, something hit her head hard, and Louisa fell down dizzy before she could feel the pain.
A pair of hands grabbed her and pushed her into the carriage. The man looked around. The university occupies a large area. This area is basically uninhabited, and few people are passing by at this time. He jumped into the car and closed the door, and soon got out of the car and returned to the driver's seat.
The car started and slowly left this place.
