In the living room upstairs, the suspect picked up the gun from the drawer, turned around, pointed it at Hotchner and was about to pull the trigger. Morgan and Hodge reacted quickly and fired simultaneously.
"Bang" "Bang"
After two gunshots, the criminal fell down and the gun in his hand fell to the ground. Morgan strode forward and kicked the criminal's gun aside.
After making sure he couldn't move, Al put the gun back in its holster and turned to search for Louisa in other rooms. Soon they found the entrance to the basement. Hodge took the lead and entered the basement. The light of the flashlight swept across a red skirt and disappeared silently into the darkness.
"found it!"
The switch of the chandelier in the basement was turned on, and the sudden bright light made Louisa unable to open her eyes, but at that moment she saw the uniforms they were wearing and she cried with excitement. His body was no longer curled up, and he was struggling to stand up.
"It's okay, it's okay." Al ran over and ripped off the tape on Louisa's face: "Good girl, we found you."
After being held in Al's arms, Louisa's emotions collapsed instantly and she burst into tears. Hotch stood behind her and helped free the ropes that trapped her wrists.
Winnie, who was waiting outside the house, saw the little girl coming back and was relieved to learn that Louisa had been rescued. Not long after, the ambulance arrived, and Louisa was carried onto the stretcher by Hodge.
Winnie, who was blocked from the isolation line, ran over: "Louisa!"
Louisa turned her head when she heard the familiar voice and looked over. After seeing Winnie, she couldn't help but burst into tears again. She stretched out her hand to Winnie like a wronged child: "Winnie!"
"It's okay, you're safe!" Winnie held Luisa's hand: "Don't be afraid, I will stay with you."
As the stretcher was pushed into the ambulance, Louisa looked at Winnie in panic: "Please, don't leave!" Having experienced being kidnapped by a serial killer, she now felt very insecure.
"Okay, I won't leave." Winnie turned around and searched in the crowd. There were many police and staff outside, but she quickly found the blonde beauty. She said to the staff in the ambulance: "Please wait a moment, I will go with you." After saying that, she ran towards JJ in large strides.
JJ smiled when she saw Winnie running towards her.
"Hello, can you help me drive the car there when you return to the police station? I have to accompany Louisa to the hospital." Winnie handed her the key.
"Of course." JJ took it without saying a word and said thoughtfully: "Go ahead, she should be in need of your company now."
"Thank you." Winnie said her thanks and ran to the ambulance, waving to them as the door closed.
In the dark night, the lights of police cars and ambulances flashed, and a group of residents in pajamas surrounded the cordon.
Morgan stood not far from JJ and watched the girl get into the ambulance and leave. He turned to look at Red who was beside him and was fascinated by the ambulance and said, "She is beautiful, isn't she?"
Rhett, who was suddenly asked, nodded in confusion: "Yes." His expression was confused, and he didn't understand why he was suddenly talking about this to him.
"I dare say that if she enters the film and television industry, she will definitely become popular with her beauty." Ai Er joined the topic easily, with a smile on her face: "When I was in school rehearsing a play, she would definitely be the first choice for the princess."
Gideon and Hotch obviously had little interest in the topic. They exchanged a few words in low voices and walked to the car they came from.
JJ turned around and shook the car keys in her hand at her companions: "Who is willing to help drive the car to the hospital?" JJ herself is very willing to help, but who told her that her job is to be a liaison to the public? She has other things to do To do.
Rhett: "Didn't you say you were driving to the police station?"
JJ: "Do me a small favor and save her from having to pick up the car again." If Winnie were here, she would definitely say that she is a kind-hearted person.
They looked at each other and turned to Red in unison.
Rhett put his hands in his pockets and blew in the night breeze. After noticing the looks in his companions' eyes, he paused and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?"
…
Luisa was wheeled in for a check-up, and her parents would come to see her tomorrow. I just hope that Louisa will not have any psychological shadow because of this, and that the students in the school can also keep their moral integrity.
Before Louisa came out, Winnie saw Gideon's colleagues in the ward. They had now changed back to their regular clothes and did not attract the attention of others in the hospital. Winnie thought they had something to ask Louisa, so she said, "She's still having an examination."
Al smiled: "How is her mental state?"
Winnie: "Fortunately, I feel much calmer."
Rhett took out Winnie's car key from his pants pocket and put it on the cabinet next to the hospital bed. He said a little awkwardly: "Well, JJ is worried that it will be troublesome for you to pick up the car, so let's drive the car to the hospital." After he said that, he The eyes that fell on Winnie's face turned away and looked elsewhere.
Winnie didn't feel Agent Reid's embarrassment: "Thank you! It's a big help, so I can drive home directly, and there is a blanket in my car." I don't know if I need an escort tonight, no. She could go home and the blanket would come in handy if needed.
"Are you here specifically to deliver the car?" Winnie asked.
Al nodded: "Yes, we went back after seeing Veblen." She remembered something and asked curiously: "Have you known Gideon before?"
"It doesn't count as acquaintance, I only met once." Winnie wasn't sure whether Sarah and Gideon were in a relationship, so she didn't say more. Gideon is their leader after all, and it's not good to tell his subordinates about unsubstantiated private lives.
At this time, a doctor in a white coat passed by the door. The next moment, he took two steps back and looked in at the door: "Green?"
Winnie heard the sound and looked toward the door. She was stunned when she saw John Gordon: "Mr. Gordon, do you work in this hospital?"
"Yes, why are you here?" Gordon remembered his wife saying that Winnie Green came to school alone and had no relatives in Washington.
Winnie: "My friend is injured, I came over to check on him."
Gordon's eyes lingered on Al and Red for a moment without asking any more questions. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and frowned and said, "It's too unsafe for a person to go out at night. Do you know that another girl is missing today? "
"The case has been solved." Al said, "But it's really not safe for a girl to stay out alone too late." She frowned and thought for a while before saying, "We'll take you home later."
Al is an expert on sex crimes and is also good at abduction cases. She had come into contact with too many related cases, and she was really worried about letting Winnie go back alone. Not to mention that some criminals are so bold as to kidnap people on the streets during the day. There are even more crimes committed at night.
But Winnie didn't want to trouble others. They had already sent her car to the hospital. There was no reason to bother others to take her home: "Thank you, but no need. As long as you don't get out of the car halfway, there will be no problem."
Reid: "Well, in fact, there are many ways for the murderer to force the victim to get out of the car." He spoke very quickly, as if he didn't need to take a breath or think about how to organize the language. A long string of words came over him in a snap: "In most cases Next, they will focus on the owner whose car has broken down. It may be that the car itself broke down or nails were scattered on the road. If he has a gun, he will threaten the victim to get out of the car, or he may pretend to be a good Samaritan to help repair the car to gain their trust. This is often the case...such as a certain case..."
Winnie and Gordon stared at him in stunned silence. Gordon opened his mouth twice and was interrupted before he could make a sound. Al stood aside and touched his nose awkwardly.
"...So not getting out of the car does not guarantee safety." Rhett closed his mouth after seeing their uncomfortable expressions and reacted, "I'm sorry."
Gordon opened his mouth and finally said: "Who is this?"
Red: "Spencer Red, you can call me Dr. Red."
Winnie: "Doctor?"
Rhett: "Yes, I have three doctorates in mathematics, chemistry, and engineering, and..."
Al: "Ahem." I've experienced this kind of scene too many times, and every time Red was about to talk, Hotchner calmly interrupted.
Rhett closed his mouth, turned his eyes away, pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, and his long hair fell to his face.
Winnie and Gordon looked at each other and saw that Dr. Reid didn't seem to be very good at getting along with strangers. Talking incessantly looks like a social cow showing off his achievements, but in fact he is a social phobic. He keeps covering up his nervousness with his mouth, and he may have started to dig his toes on the ground.
As a stranger, Gordon shook the folder in his hand and said, "I have to go to the ward, so I'll leave first." He also thoughtfully closed the door.
Winnie watched Gordon leave, thinking that the agent was here to deliver her car, and she couldn't let anyone lose face, so she picked up the topic: "Ah, the three doctors and the bachelor are very powerful, so Agent Reid Is he a genius?"
Rhett said honestly: "Yes, I have an IQ of 187."
This is very enviable. Winnie asked curiously: "Is it easy for you to learn with your high IQ? Are you good at what the teacher teaches? Do you have a photographic memory of things?"
Rhett rarely received positive feedback from others, and his nervousness and embarrassment suddenly subsided a lot and he said happily: "I can actually read 20,000 words per minute."
Winnie's eyes widened: "You remember them all?!" Her big eyes were round and wide, with only shock and envy in them, not any disgust at all.
When Rhett talked about this in the past, those people were surprised and indifferent to his words. If he rambles on, they look at him like he's a freak. But unlike those people, she didn't think he was showing off, which made Red happy.
Rhett smiled shyly, and even said modestly: "Not everything." It seemed that he had a photographic memory.
Winnie: "Wow! This is great!"
Al crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and looked at them with a smile on his face.
Al's phone rang. It was JJ, informing them that it was time to return.
"We have to go." Al said sadly, shaking his phone.
She was actually quite happy to watch Rhett interact with the girls, how interesting it was.
