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

Although under the influence of some strange cosmic will, Officer John Nolan's career can be said to be far more exciting than that of an ordinary patrol officer, but he really has not had much contact with serial killers.

An old woman who was supposed to fall in love with him was offline early due to the appearance of someone (

Listening to Jack's succinct analysis at this time, John couldn't help but feel a little curious, "So, is it possible that he got this kind of 'cabinomania' in prison? For example, he was put in a small single cell, which caused He wants others to have a taste of that?"

Without waiting for Jack's answer, Angela couldn't wait to interrupt, "It's possible that it existed before he was imprisoned. It's more likely that it was a triggering event in adolescence that inspired his underlying morbid psychology."

"Wow!" Jack couldn't help but look at this eldest sister with admiration. "Is it so stressful for a female to join the police detective department? With your enthusiasm for learning, you might consider re-entering university for further studies."

Angela rolled her eyes back at him, "Although that old man David Rossi's fishing skills are not very good, he is really good at writing books. However, I have also read your novel and it is quite interesting."

"When the second volume of "Jack Reacher" is published, I will sign it for you alone." Seeing that the three of them were very interested, Jack simply told them the profile of the BAU team in advance.

As the second largest police department in the United States after the NYPD, the LAPD has more than 10,000 police officers. It’s hard for Tim and Angela to say, but as an ordinary patrol officer, John would definitely not be able to go to the FBI Los Angeles Field Office to listen to the BAU team. Profiled.

Although Jack didn't know why they specifically called him to the branch, he was already here, so he might as well tell them in advance.

"In addition, we suspect that the murderer may have disguised himself as a federal law enforcement officer out of a desire for power. Ordinary people's respect and obedience to federal law enforcement officers satisfy this desire for power to a certain extent.

Therefore, his motive for committing the crime also includes trying to find some recognition of his identity and status, and eager to obtain the obedience of others. "

"What about his criteria for choosing victims? Have you discovered how that bastard looks for victims?" Tim and Angela exchanged glances with a strange tone.

"The current victims are basically vulnerable women who live in transitional communities with poor security and are at home alone every day, making it easier to attack. We guess that he did some early tracking and detection, but how did he select or locate these targets? Yes, it cannot be confirmed yet.”

Jack squinted at the three guys, his eyes wandering back and forth, and finally landed on the face of John, who couldn't hide his worries the most. "So. Did you discover something, so you called me to the bureau?"

John triumphantly took out a map and spread it out in front of Jack, "We weren't sure before because it was probably a coincidence, but after listening to your FBI profile, I think we probably found out how the murderer did it. Looking for the victim."

As he spoke, he pointed to the four circles marked on the map, "These are the locations of the previous four crimes. Angela retrieved the LAPD's crime map data."

As John's fingers moved, Jack found another adjacent mark near each crime location. "What is this? Another crime?"

"That's right." Angela put the four files on the table. "Within the two blocks surrounding the scenes of these four serial murders, there have been cases of women being killed or raped."

Tim added in a deep voice, "And these cases all occurred within 12 hours before each serial murder."

-

In less than an hour, everyone in the BAU team arrived at the Wilshire Police Station. As soon as Rossi entered the conference room, he said, "So the murderer probably stole a police radio, or installed a bug on his cell phone. APP for police radio channels.”

Everyone was familiar with him and simply nodded to say hello. Angela explained, "We guessed that the murderer might have been driving around in his car. As soon as he heard the police call about a sexual assault or murder case, he rushed to the scene. Looking for women near the scene to attack.”

"It is indeed very possible." Rhett immediately agreed. "This is his strategy, using the fear generated by other criminal behaviors around him to achieve his goals."

"Excuse me, ma'am, I'm FBI agent John Nolan. We are investigating a case that happened in the next block. Are you aware of the terrible incident that happened last night? A woman was unfortunately killed."

John said these lines to Angela without thinking, and then shuddered involuntarily, "God, this is too scary, who would doubt a federal agent who came to remind him to pay attention to his safety."

Angela gave him a thumbs up, "Congratulations, John, you have the potential to become a serial killer."

Emily took a deep breath, "Women who live alone are usually more cautious, but they also hope to catch the rapists and murderers who appear nearby as soon as possible.

So when they heard that a federal agent wanted help, or just asked a few questions, they would let down their guard and invite the person in. The murderer captured this mentality of the victim. "

Hotchner looked at the three LAPD officers, "Are you looking for recent home invasion rape cases or murder cases around you?"

Tim nodded and said, "Of course, we just confirmed that no new cases have been reported in the last 12 hours."

"We can't wait for the right crime to happen." Jiejie frowned and looked at Jack. She had already guessed someone's plan.

Jack, a veteran fishing expert, had a smile on his face, "Of course, so we plan to meet his request. Superintendent Gray is currently contacting several surrounding police stations such as the North Hollywood District and the Eastern Division, asking them to dispatch all plainclothes officers and detectives. Cooperate."

"Let's be clear." Rossi looked at the map drawn by John and said in a serious tone, "Although it is an active trap, it is equivalent to introducing a mad murderer into an unsuspecting community.

There will be a large number of potential victims in the community, and we cannot be sure which innocent woman among them he will choose to attack. If an accident occurs, this responsibility will be borne by all of us. "

"That's better than sitting back and watching the murderer continue to commit crimes. I will indicate this in the report. This decision was made by me." Hotchner was ready to take the blame.

Rossi shook his head helplessly and said, "No, I mean, we need enough manpower and a careful plan."

"... and enough bait, I will coordinate at least 10 female undercover police officers, and assign a two-person team to each of them to ensure safety." Angela said and was about to pick up the phone.

"Eight will be enough. Jiejie and I can both be used as bait." Emily and Jiejie looked at each other and volunteered.

"There must also be a corresponding number of safe houses as 'traps' to lure the other party to the door." Jack rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling a little headache.

If given enough time, this kind of arrangement can be easily accomplished by either the FBI or the LAPD, but it is going to be night soon, and God knows if a murder that meets the murderer's requirements will happen in the next second.

"In the previous four cases, the murderer has always committed crimes within about two blocks of the place where the murder occurred. To be safe, we have to cover at least three blocks around the place where the crime occurred."

Tim said he understood, "Manpower is not a problem. They can all be in place within an hour at most. The safe house will need the assistance of the FBI."

Hotchner reminded, "Keep the radio silent and tell the plainclothes police officers that if you see a suspicious person, you must approach with caution and know the identity of the person. You must be 100% sure before calling for support. We may only have one chance." Chance."
