The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

Chapter 436 Reporter

"Were any items found at the scene that should not have belonged to the deceased?" Hotchner asked.

"What do you mean?" Finlay was a little confused.

"The 'Boston Deather' would take an item from each victim and put it on the next victim to let the police know that he did it. This feature has not been disclosed to the public."

Hotchner's explanation made Finlay think deeply, and then he started flipping through the photos on his phone, finally stopping at the front face of the deceased male.

"Is this it?" He pointed to the glasses on the deceased's face in the photo.

"I was still wondering at first why the deceased was shot in the temple but his glasses were intact. It seemed that the murderer had put them on after his death."

Hotchner suddenly looked up, "He only took the glasses from one victim, the ninth. Logically speaking, they should appear on the tenth victim, but we have never found them."

"Is there anything special about Victim No. ?" Jack asked the question for Finlay.

"He was the only one who survived." When Hotchner answered, his eyes stayed on the curious crowd outside the blockade.

Hotchner said, introducing Jie Jie to him.

After the two exchanged business cards, Roy Coulson shook hands with Hotchner again. Before leaving, he warned in a deep voice, "If it is really him, he will strike again soon."

The on-site investigation came to an end for the time being. Jack simply invited Finlay to get in the car and return to the FBI office in Boston. Red and the others had already sorted out all the past information.

Roy Coulson sighed, "Is this what you said? It has been ten years, and you have really not changed at all. You are still so business-like. I wrote a book for that guy and specially sent a signed copy to Did you not receive it?"

"Agent Hotchner, long time no see. Didn't Director Vaughn say that this case was done by an imitator? What kind of strong wind brought you here?"

This piece of science popularization conducted by Dr. Reed actually made Jack think differently.

The Boston office specially set aside a small conference hall for the use of the newly formed task force. Rhett and others took their seats and began to play the information of victim No. 9.

<divclass="contentadv"> "A narrow escape from death." Rossi sighed as he looked at the horrific wounds on George Foye's body in the photo that were still hideous after being sutured.

"The writing is good. You paid enough respect to the deceased and your evaluation of our work was fair. I also know that you donated all the royalties for this book to the family of the deceased, so I am willing to talk to you."

Hotchner did not answer his question directly, but asked instead, "Roy, which is more important to you, obtaining writing materials or catching the murderer?"

According to George Foye, the killer approached them disguised as a lost tourist and pretended to ask for directions. "

"Targets 8 and 9 were next to a silver Toyota on Riverton Road behind Tyson Quarry."

Hotchner's words made Jack and Finlay on the side raise their eyebrows at the same time. Such reporters can be said to be quite rare in this country.

When Jack came back to his senses, he heard Jiejie curiously asking, "How did that George Foye survive?"

Jack said he had different opinions, "Then why did he go already? George Foye was only the ninth victim. Ten years ago, before the 'Grim Reaper' stopped committing crimes, there were a total of 21 victims, right?"

"Any acquaintances?" Seeing his strange eyes, Jiejie stepped forward and asked.

Roy Coulson also did not answer directly, "I interviewed all the families of the victims. It was I who made the unfortunate experiences of the deceased known to the world. If you have read my book, you will definitely know."

Roy Coulson enthusiastically stepped forward and shook Hotchner's hand.

Rhett then opened a voice file, and a recording came from it.

Hotchner continued to introduce some of the content he summarized that year,

"The murderer likes to carry out attacks in or next to private cars, usually at night, near dimly lit and sparsely populated roads.

And ‘Annuitcoeptis’ comes from Latin, meaning ‘God gives us everything’, and the murderer seems to compare himself to God. "

"George Foye, 28 years old at the time, victim No. 9, was also the only survivor who narrowly escaped from the murderer."

"Sorry, sir, you mean you killed someone?"

Hotchner remained expressionless, indifferent to his intimidating move, but emphasized with a sentence that was almost difficult to pronounce.

Finlay nodded. "As far as I know, the sketch was published on television and in newspapers for three days in a row, but nothing was found."

"Formally, we have no reason to believe that this was not a copycat crime."

"Perhaps, do you still remember the book "Death in the Dark" that I showed you on the plane?" Hotchner nodded to a middle-aged white man outside the blockade with a briefcase slung across his body.

"But 19-year-old Amanda Lambert, who was traveling with him, was not so lucky and was stabbed 67 times."

In his memory, it was mentioned in the movie "National Treasure" that he saw in his previous life. This "all-seeing eye" is also related to the "Free Masons", the predecessor of Freemasonry, which then led to a lot of conspiracy theories.

"And the eye he drew." Rhett put several photos on the screen at the same time, including photos of the scene and scanned copies of the letter proposing the agreement.

Reed then put a portrait sketch on the screen, "This is a portrait of the murderer drawn by a sketch artist from the Boston Police Department who was in the hospital at the time, based on George Foye's description."

"This is Agent Jennifer Jeange, and I promise you, she will contact you as soon as we can release some information."

Under Jiejie's guidance, Roy Coulson, who had a rather gentle temperament, walked up to the crowd.

"That's the author of that book, Roy Coulson."

According to what we have found, before this, the 'Grim Reaper' would call the police every time after committing a crime to inform the police of the specific location of the body until George Foye survived.

There were a lot of cases, and they were separated by a long time, so they planned to go through the cases overnight.

"911, what emergency did you encounter?" First came the voice of the 911 operator.

"I suspect there is a reason why the murderer left those glasses at the crime scene. George Foye may be in danger," Hotchner said.

"Assist the police in catching the murderer, long time no see, Roy." Hotchner frowned and looked at him, with neither joy nor sorrow on his face. He had no sense of rejection of the media people, nor was he happy to see his old friend.

As Red continued to press the remote control, a bruised young female body appeared in the photo.

"Sounds like a lesson was learned," Rossi spat.

Perhaps for this reason, the murderer never called the police after him. "

What they have in common is that there is a hand-drawn "Eye of God" on them, with an eye in the middle of an equilateral triangle, and then there are several lines above and below, representing eyelashes or light.

"I killed two more people." Then came a voice that was obviously changed by a voice changer.

As the recording ended, Emily continued, "The call was made from a public phone booth one mile away from the crime scene. Paramedics arrived 15 minutes later. Amanda Lambert died on the spot, and George Foye died at the scene. Losing blood and dying.

Especially the pair of glasses found at the scene that originally belonged to victim No. 9. Does the murderer's actions mean that he intends to attack the fish that slipped through the net again?

“The Eye of God, also known as the Omniscient Eye, was adopted by the Confederation in 1782. Together with the phrase ‘Annuitcoeptis,’ it formed part of the national emblem and was printed on the back of the one dollar.

Considering that one of the country's founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, was a known Freemason, conspiracy theories related to him have always been popular.

"What about the informal way of saying it?" Roy Coulson showed a smile, as if he had guessed that he would say that.

Rossi pondered for a moment, feeling a little unsure. He shook his head and said, "Anyway, let's find him first. Maybe we can ask him about his experiences over the years."

Emily picked up the phone and said, "I have notified Garcia. She should have news soon."
