That day, Rhett said goodbye to Winnie in the cafe and went to work investigating the murder of Ravensfield. He refrained from immediately calling on his companions because they were probably enjoying a rare case-free vacation.
For example, Huo Qi finally had a day to spend with his wife and children.
He sorted out the information he could find by himself, and when he went to work the next day, he went to find JJ first. In addition to facing the media and the public on behalf of BAU, JJ's job also needs to select the most important one among the large number of cases. If you want your team to take on this case, you must get JJ's approval.
JJ was also shocked after reading the information compiled by Red. She looked through the backlog of cases every day, but she had never seen this 70-year-old family extermination case.
In a small town, residents of the town have died one after another since the death of a puppeteer, and the latest one was just a few months ago.
JJ has decided to bring this case to his teammates, but he is still a little curious: "How did you come into contact with this case?"
Rhett said with dark circles under his eyes: "I met Green, Winnie Green, in the bookstore yesterday."
When JJ heard this name, he only thought about it for a moment before he matched up with a face in his memory. That was an unforgettably beautiful girl.
JJ: "Is she related to this case?"
Rhett shook his head and said: "The recent deceased was her neighbor's father. There is a scary nursery rhyme in their town about the ghost of a puppeteer..." So Rhett revealed that the Eisen family suspected Mary Shaw's ghost of revenge, and Asked the famous horror home for help.
After listening, JJ and Red had the same idea. After all, Jamie Eisen had determined that the person who sent the puppet was his stepmother, and his stepmother was aborted by Edward Eisen during pregnancy.
It is very possible that Edward Eisen was killed by his current wife. She was just very smart and used the legends in the town to imitate the methods of the perverted murderer 70 years ago.
This is why she disappeared suddenly in the end. As it happens, Jamie Eisen also found the Warrens, completely leading the truth to the ghost's revenge.
When all the team members arrived, JJ stood in the conference room with the information compiled by Red. After everyone reviewed the information in their hands, Gideon agreed to take over the case.
Although the first perverted murderer may have died long ago, the scary nursery rhymes are still circulating in the almost deserted town, and there are still people imitating and committing crimes, so they should investigate and find out the truth.
The BAU team members soon arrived at the small town of Ravensfield. Looking along the way, they had a clearer understanding of the town. Many shops and houses on the roadside are abandoned and uninhabited. There are no young people on the street, and there are not many people in the police station.
JJ goes to contact Jamie Eisen, they need to investigate his father's body. Emily and Gideon visit other residents. Morgan and Red go to Walker Funeral Home to meet Henry Sr. Winnie mentioned to Rhett that Old Henry had photos of the remains of all the people killed by Mary Shaw.
Old Henry opened the door and was stunned when he saw the outsiders outside: "Who are you?"
There are very few outsiders coming to their town, and even if they are staying halfway, they will not knock on the door of the funeral parlor. Especially looking at the tall and powerful Morgan,
The little old man was a little scared after seeing it.
Morgan and Red took their IDs and waved them: "FBI, let's investigate Edward Eisen and the massacre of his family in the past 70 years."
Old Henry was silent for a moment. He held the door frame and sighed and said, "It's all over, it's all over."
That being said, old Henry still introduced the two of them into the house. I went to the workroom to look for that photo album that I thought I would never have to open again.
Even though Morgan and Rhett had seen many photos of the dead, when they saw the photos taken by old Henry. It also produced a thrilling feeling of scalp numbness.
Perhaps it was the murderer's methods that were so cruel and terrifying that the town residents thought it was a ghost's curse.
Under the questioning of the two people, old Henry also talked about the past 70 years ago.
What old Henry said was very similar to what Winnie said, but more specific than Winnie's. This funeral home was inherited by Henry Sr. from his father. There is only one funeral parlor in the town of Ravensfield, so the records are relatively complete. The characteristics of Mary Xiao's murder are obvious. Those records have been stored separately, and it is easy to find them now.
In order to eliminate Mary Shaw's ghost, Jamie and the others burned Mary Shaw's body and all her puppets when they came back last time. Even the theater was burned to nothing but remains.
A lot of evidence has been destroyed (such as what Winnie said was the body of the little boy made into a puppet and Mary Shaw's notebook), making the BAU's investigation more difficult.
They wanted to investigate the murderer 70 years ago, but the real murderer was eliminated by them from the beginning. No FBI with formal education would believe that there is a ghost in this world. Because the murderers they usually come into contact with are more terrifying than ghosts, they are convinced that the murderer is hiding in the small town back then and is an ordinary small town resident.
…
Winnie hung up the call with Lisa and went to prepare dinner. Because she often went to Lisa's house for dinner, she was embarrassed to let a pregnant woman take care of the meals for three people, so she also learned to cook American food. Eventually, some meat and vegetables will gradually appear in her refrigerator.
But as a Chinese who has been raised with a mouth in his mouth, foreign food tastes fresh at first, but in the end he still misses the familiar taste. Although she is too lazy to do it
rice, but I can still make simple home-cooked meals. There was no big requirement to eat alone. She steamed the rice in a small rice cooker, took out the green peppers and tomatoes from the refrigerator, washed them, then took out the beef and cut it into strips, preparing to make a green pepper beef tenderloin and tomato egg drop soup. .
The sound of chains appeared in the kitchen. Winnie turned around and saw an old woman with gray hair standing there wearing an elderly floral shirt.
Winnie stopped chopping green peppers and asked gently: "Grandma Han, what can I do for you?"
Granny Ghost walked up to Winnie and took the kitchen knife from her hand: "I can't stay in that place. I see you are making dinner and come out to help me."
Winnie immediately stepped aside when she saw it. She was so happy to have someone cooking for her. As long as it was delicious and edible, she didn't care whether it was made by humans or ghosts.
"Is it really that bad there?" Winnie asked, leaning against the refrigerator door.
Granny Ghost took a kitchen knife and chopped the green peppers: "It's not bad for ghosts."
Winnie turned her head and looked at the house and said: "You can come out when there are no outsiders at home, just make sure to close the curtains. Do you want me to put that
Decorate a study room for you to rest? Two computers and a sofa? "
Ghosts stay in another dimension, where there is a complicated and chaotic time flow, all kinds of ghosts, dark and twisted. Even a ghost would prefer to stay in a colorful human society in this environment, right?
If she had a big house in the suburbs, Winnie could give them each a room and let them come and go as they pleased. But she really didn't like living in a remote place, but thinking about it was not easy for them to follow her, Winnie was entangled.
Or buy the house next door? But this behavior is very strange. Do you want to buy them another haunted house?
The house she lives in now is quite nice. It has a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a utility room on the first floor. There are three rooms on the second floor plus a study room. One of the rooms was converted into a cloakroom by Winnie. The study room was vacant. The other room was basically empty, with only an old bed left by the previous owner.
Winnie: "You don't need to sleep, and there won't be anyone staying at home. Let me renovate the other empty room to see what you want?"
The ghost mother-in-law did not refuse after hearing this. As long as there is no ghost, there is no one who is not greedy for the human world.
Winnie decided to check out the new computers and sofas after school tomorrow, and then ask them what kind of lounge they wanted so that it would be easy to decorate then.
Like she said, they could move freely around the house as long as the curtains were closed. Unless they are born with yin and yang eyes, they will not be exposed as long as they do not take the initiative to show themselves to others.
When she arrived at school the next day, Winnie heard that her classmates were chatting about the murder case discovered yesterday. The case was published in today's newspapers, and residents of the town were talking about it. Following the lesson learned last time, the school issued a notice warning students not to go to remote places alone. Students who live on campus must return to their dormitories within the specified time.
"Sometimes I have a feeling." Melissa held her chin and turned her pen, rolling her eyes upwards irritably. "Bad cases happen every day in the United States, and all the perverted murderers have gathered in the United States."
Just look at the newspaper news! This is really the most free and unsafe place!
"It's not just a murderer." Louisa used a small mirror to check the integrity of her makeup. She found that her lipstick had been rubbed off a little, then she slowly put it on, and said in a low voice, "There is also a zombie city."
When Winnie heard the keyword, she looked over in disbelief and asked, "Raccoon City?!" Why didn't she see any relevant reports when she went online every day?
Louisa gave her a strange look and didn't understand why Winnie was so excited: "Uh... no, I mean the gathering place for homeless people who smoke things. But what is Raccoon City?"
After hearing this, Winnie breathed a sigh of relief and remembered the anti-drug propaganda videos she had seen. Those people did look like zombies.
"A computer game about a zombie crisis." Winnie explained.
After hearing this, Louisa nodded without much interest: "But in fact, some people will never encounter that kind of thing when they grow old." And what happened to her, for example, was simply unlucky.
Some people unfortunately lost their lives, and some people cherish their lives more than before.
Melissa said sincerely: "I hope it's not some powerful perverted murderer."
Because that means that another tragedy is likely to happen again, and those victims are often weak, women and children who are unable to resist, and slow-moving old people. She said with disgust: "They are cowards. Even if they kill people, they will only find those who are weaker than them."
Winnie: "You're right."
Louisa: "So true!"
…
The BAU team in the small town of Ravensfield encountered unprecedented difficulties. The evidence they investigated and the remaining evidence pointed to the murder case in an extremely strange direction. Their reason and experience told them that it was man-made, but the evidence they found proved that it could not be done by man.
Is it really the curse of the dead souls? This is ridiculous. This directly caused the already serious Hotchner's face to become even stiffer.
To make matters worse, their superiors informed them to immediately withdraw the team to solve another case, and did not allow them to continue investigating the murder case in the small town of Ravensfield.
Everyone realized that this case was far more bizarre and unusual than what they saw. !
