The members of the BAU team have not yet rested. Every minute the murderer is caught, a new victim may die.
Penelope Garcia is a member of the FBI's technical section, and she worked overtime in the Quantico office before the case was solved. As she played the unclear surveillance video over and over again, something strange suddenly caught her attention.
It seems like the number of people is wrong.
When it was dark, a car entered the parking lot and parked in a blind corner of the surveillance area. During this period, the vehicles and people entering and exiting the parking lot could not match each other.
She pressed her hands quickly on the keyboard, comparing them back and forth, and made a terrible discovery.
She immediately dialed Morgan's phone: "The murderer! He was in the parking lot at the time!"
Morgan's expression changed: "What?"
"The murderer never left after abandoning the body! He even briefly came into contact with the three girls among the onlookers of the car owners!"
In other words, when the three girls discovered the bodies, the murderer had been hiding in the dark and watching them!
Garcia's scalp exploded!
At this time, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and JJ hurriedly walked in, looked at his team members, and said, "Louisa Veblen is missing!"
Soon after, police cars roared out.
…
It was Luisa's roommate who noticed something was wrong. She didn't come back for an hour after she got the call and went out. Seeing that it was completely dark, the roommate called Luisa. By this time, the phone was turned off. Thinking of today's news, the roommates hurriedly contacted the teacher and called the police.
Because it was a female dormitory, JJ and Al went to the dormitory to take notes, while the others looked for clues at the school gate. After obtaining the information, they came together again to exchange messages.
Hotchner's cell phone was open, and Garcia's voice came from it: "During that time, Veblen only talked to two people, two of them were unknown suspects and one was her mother. I checked that number. The registered identity is that of a 26-year-old woman named Maude, who has no criminal record."
Hotchner looked at JJ: "JJ will contact Veblen's mother first and ask about the content of their call. Al and Morgan will go to Maude's house."
Garcia: "I'll send you my number and address." After that, he hung up the phone.
JJ nodded and walked aside with his cell phone, and dialed the number provided by Garcia. Al and Morgan quickly got in the car and headed to the address given by Garcia.
Soon, JJ finished the phone call and comforted Mrs. Veblen who was panicked when she learned that her daughter was missing.
JJ: “Veblen called her mother to ask if she would send her clothes, got a negative answer and then hung up.”
Reid: "According to conversations overheard by her roommate, the unknown suspect posed as a courier delivering a package to lure her out."
Gideon continued: "She was angry because the courier left her package at the gate. In this situation, Veblen would be very angry and anxious, and subconsciously ignored the danger."
"Because she thought the 'delivery man' was gone."
Because a police car suddenly came to the school, many students living on campus ran down to watch. Many people were still awake at this time, and news in the school spread very quickly. At this time, someone had already posted on the campus forum about the missing person. The person is Louisa Veblen.
Anyone who pays any attention to school gossip knows that Louisa Veblen was one of Winnie Green's two best friends. It was just reported in the news today that there was a serial killer here, and Veblen disappeared in the evening. Except for those who were careless to watch the fun and didn't mind the trouble, the remaining students were very scared.
Hotchner looked at the students who were watching and whispering, "Let's go back to the police station."
When they arrived at the police station, the road surveillance in front of the school was also switched over. Reid sat in front of the computer and squinted to carefully observe the details.
"She's looking for something, that non-existent courier." Gideon stood behind Red and looked at the surveillance video. In the video, Veblen was looking for something at the school gate. When she couldn't find anything, she took out her mobile phone and made a call. From her body language in the picture, it could be seen that she was anxious and angry.
"Veblen was most alert when she saw the corpse. The unknown suspect cleverly used human psychology to arouse their eagerness and anger to lure her out of the school."
When a package is lost, no matter who it is, they will feel angry, especially if the courier is very irresponsible.
Gideon watched Veblen disappear step by step into the blind spot of the surveillance camera.
"Have you found the car?" Hotchner asked.
"Garcia is checking," Reid said.
Hotchner's phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was from Morgan: "Morgan?"
Morgan and Al strode to their car: "We just came out of Maude's house. She lost her mobile phone today and bought a new one. Then she ate at a restaurant near the mobile phone store, and she had an alibi for the whole process. "
JJ posted the photo of Louisa Veblen with the other four victims. She looked at the photo and suddenly said: "If it is because the unknown suspect saw the three Veblen people at the scene, and A new target was determined. So why did he choose Louisa Veblen, who lived in the school, instead of Winnie Green, who seemed weaker and lived alone, who was the easiest to prey on? What made him choose Veblen? "
Gideon looked over when he heard the familiar name, and Winnie, who had met him once, was also puzzled.
Rhett looked up from the computer, his eyes swept over the photo, and he remembered the three female college students he had just met during the day, and suddenly said: "They are blond!"
He spoke quickly: "The target of the unknown suspect is a blond woman. This must be related to his experience. This woman may be his mother or wife. Because of some change, he hates blond women who return late and like to stay outside. Women. He destroyed half of their faces, the intact side is divine motherhood, the other side is sin..."
"White male, aged 20-40, employed, married, with a black ** car in his name, at least one of his wife and mother has blond hair..."
Morgan and Al were back, and they sat on the chairs to listen to Red talking to Garcia on the other end of the phone.
Garcia pressed the keyboard with his fingers quickly and began to screen people who matched the characteristics in the database based on the information provided by Reid.
…
Winnie, who was playing games at home, heard the doorbell ringing downstairs. She saw Sarah standing outside through the peephole and opened the door for no apparent reason: "Good evening Sarah, what's the matter?"
Sarah was relieved when she saw Winnie. She had just received a call from Jason, saying that the serial killer saw Winnie and her classmates at the scene of dumping the body. And now one of her classmates has disappeared. In case something happens to Winnie, who lives alone, Sara is asked to take a look.
"I just received a call from Jason. He said that your classmate is missing. If you don't worry, please let me take a look." Thinking of the news reports, the victim was not only tortured but also had his face scratched. Sarah looked at Winnie's beautiful and young face and suggested, "You can stay at my house tonight. It's still not safe to live alone."
When Winnie heard that her classmate was missing, her first thought was of Louisa and Melissa, so she asked, "Do you know which classmate it is?"
"It seems to be called Louisa."
Hearing this name, Winnie knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Thinking of the tragic appearance of the body, she could imagine what might have happened to Louisa.
To put it bluntly, Winnie would feel pity if it were another classmate she was not familiar with, and hope that the other person would be rescued, but would not do anything more. In the horror game, she has witnessed the death of many people and even experienced death herself. Except for her teammates, the lives of others are not that important to her. It is the best result that she does not despise life after what she has experienced.
But if it's someone she's familiar with and is emotionally positive, then she can't just pretend she doesn't know and rest at home peacefully. Even if she could do nothing to solve the case, Winnie would have to wait at the police station.
"She is a good friend of mine. I have to go to the police station and wait for news." Winnie said and walked back. She had to change her clothes.
"You can't help much by going to the police station." Sarah caught up and persuaded: "I know you are worried and anxious, but..."
"Sarah." Winnie turned her head and took her hand and said with red eyes: "She is my best friend in school. I can't sleep at home even if I know she is missing, so why not go to the police station and wait for news. "
Sarah knew how she felt. She looked into Winnie's eyes and nodded after seeing the concern for her friends: "Okay, do you need me to send you there? You'd better bring a blanket and sit on a chair to rest when you are tired. That’s fine.”
"No, I can go by myself." Winnie wasn't sure what she would do next. It was inconvenient to take Sarah with her and she didn't want to trouble her. "Don't worry, I won't stop even if someone waves on the road. It will be driven all the way to the door of the police station.”
Sarah watched Winnie's car drive away and called Gideon: "Jason, Winnie has gone to the police station. Please help me take care of her."
