[Zhongyingmei] That snake

Chapter 56 Case 7 3

Hotch's expression changed. It's natural to be disgusted by people coveting wealth, but it shouldn't be so indifferent in the face of death.Seeing too many federal agents who have lost their parents to take care of orphans and become serial killers will always give birth to an extra vigilance.

Oliver put his hand on Mark's shoulder and patted it reassuringly.

"Whether it's your parents, or this uncle who doesn't please you. The dead are dead, but the living still have hope."

"What you said is absolutely right. I found that my hope has always been there, but unfortunately I didn't care about it in the past." Mark raised the corners of his lips, "The bell for class is ringing, can I go back?"

Oliver nodded to Hotch, indicating that he had finished asking all he wanted to ask.So Hotch agreed to Mark's request, got up and sent him to the door of the office.

Oliver paced the office expressionlessly.This private school is very wealthy, and the principal's office is all covered with high-quality mahogany floors, which make a steady sound under the knock of leather shoes.

When he put his hand on Mark's shoulder to check his information just now, he suddenly discovered that there is a set of x genes in Mark's gene chain.

In other words, this classmate Mark is indeed a mutant, but Oliver is not sure what his mutant ability is.

Atlanta Police Department

Morgan and Prentiss, who went to Paul's company to inquire about the situation, also came back.

"His colleagues said that although Paul is usually incompetent and cowardly, he doesn't even have a bullying attitude, and he has never had any enemies with anyone."

"There is another problem. Paul had borrowed a large sum of money from his colleagues a few months ago, but the money had been repaid with interest when he received part of his brother's inheritance. said Morgan.

According to Paul's known credit history, it is not difficult to get a bank loan.But why did he have to borrow money from his colleagues?

Borrowing money from acquaintances is not just a pure money transaction like a bank.Among them, it is very likely that some favors will be owed.

It's just that when you borrow money from the bank, you need to indicate what you are going to do with the money.Banks will not do business at a loss.

"Let Garcia look up Paul's recent outflow of large sums of money." Hotch said.

"Thanks for the Internet, geniuses." Garcia's vibrant voice came from Morgan's phone.

"In Mr. Paul's credit card records, the money was transferred to a person. Let me see his name is Peter Carter"

"Oh my god, that's horrible," Garcia yelled from the dark room on the other end of the phone, "You know Paul's brother died in a car accident, right?

"Although witnesses told the police the license plate number of the vehicle involved in the accident, the owner of the vehicle has not yet been caught. However, according to the search based on the license plate number, the car belongs to Peter Carter.

Do you understand what I mean?In other words, his younger brother Paul hired a murderer to kill his brother and sister-in-law. "

"Thank you Garcia."

It has to be said that this is a very useful clue. The death of Mark's parents was not an accident, and Mr. Paul was as innocent as the last two victims.

"The accident happened on Friday afternoon, right?" Rossi asked abruptly.

"Yes, Mark was at boarding school and he didn't have time to go home until Friday. So his parents were killed picking him up from school," Hotch said.

"And what about Mark? Where was Mark?"

"I'm going to the local police to ask for the witnesses and Mark's records after Mark's parents were killed." **Opened a kraft paper bag and found Mark's inside.

"It says that Mark went to a classmate's house to attend a classmate's birthday party. This classmate happened to be Black, the son of the second victim."

**reads, "Mark was lucky to escape."

"In other words, Paul's original goal was the Mark family, so that he could inherit all the inheritance." Prentiss said.

"But he failed. Mark didn't die, and he took away most of the inheritance." Oliver didn't sit next to Hotch this time, but as long as he looked up, he could see Hotch across from him. Speed, he is likely to attack Mark again"

"Hit on Mark? What did you ask Mark from?" Morgan sat up straight.

"Mark's uncle Paul once came to him for help after spending all his money. But he refused." Hotch replied, "However, judging from Mark's actions and expressions, he still has something to hide. He seems to this uncle Hate to the bone."

"Paul was killed on the weekend. Mark had plenty of time to commit crimes. The wounds stated in the autopsy report are likely to be counterattacked when Paul attacked Mark."

"If it was Mark who committed the crime." The little doctor gestured with the pen in his hand, "It is not difficult for him as a classmate to enter the victim's home. Moreover, his parents were killed when he was attending Black's birthday, so he killed his own Uncle, after arousing the bloodthirsty desire in his heart, he locked his second target on Black's father, which is jealousy and anger."

"But the latter two victims were killed on weekdays."

"Mark's teacher said that he has been taking a lot of leave recently, so it makes sense."

"But what kind of weapon did he use to take out the victim's heart." Prentiss has been struggling with this question.According to what Oliver said before, taking out the heart in such a way is not something ordinary people can do, and Mark is just an ordinary middle school student.

"Well." Oliver pinched his nose, raised his head and blinked his eyes, always paying attention to the expressions of the team members, "Do you know mutants?"

Rossi, who was the oldest, immediately replied, "Is it those people who are born with superpowers?"

Oliver nodded, Rossi's age made him the one in the group who knew a little more about mutants.

After all, although there are still constant disputes between the two factions of mutants in this century, it can be said to be calm compared to the last century when mutants smashed missiles/bombs on the coast of Cuba, or held a stadium to hold the president hostage. Too much.It is understandable that many members of the public do not understand mutants.

"Like Spider-Man?" Prentiss asked.

"No, I talked with Parker, he is an acquired physical mutation." Reid explained, "The ability of mutants is born, I don't think it should be called mutation, they can be said to be an evolutionary direction of human beings , the theory of evolution is..."

"Reid." ROliversi cut him off.

"Hmm." Reid was a little unwilling, "Williams, do you understand the mechanism and operation of mutant ability?"

"There is an X gene in their gene chain," Oliver said shortly. "I had a related research project in the university, but it was shelved due to insufficient samples."

"You think Mark is a mutant." After hearing that, Hotch accepted Oliver's conjecture.As the team leader of the BAU, Hotch needs to deal with the politicians above every day, and Hotch also has some understanding of mutants.

"Yes." Oliver nodded solemnly, "I can't think of other possible situations. No normal person can have such an ability. I guess Mark's mutant ability should be to penetrate objects or something."

"Although there are many sci-fi movies with this trick. It's not scientific." Reid opened his eyes wide and shook his head.

"Existence is reasonable." Oliver smiled helplessly, "Mutants have all kinds of strange abilities, more than you can imagine, and all of them can be explained by science. After all, this is not a world where wizards riding broomsticks appear. isn't it?

If you want to explain this ability, I personally think that he can decompose his hands to the size of atoms, so that there is no object in the world that he cannot penetrate.Then enter the victim's body through the gap in the skin, return to normal state, grab the heart and rip it out.However, he should also have some bonuses in physical strength. "

Now the profile is given, and the unsub range is delineated, but the problem is that they have no reason to arrest Mark.

First of all, he is a minor. Second, many people still think that profiling is the work of a magician. Although it has been scientifically recognized and a BAU team was specially established, psychological profiling in court will only Appears as an auxiliary tool for sentencing, not as a standard for conviction.

"Let's go to the school. Talk to Mark again and hope he can plead guilty."

The BAU people who rushed to the school again got a headache from the principal. Mark asked for leave and left.

The local police who rushed to Mark's house did not find him.

"Absconded in fear of crime. This kid!" Morgan punched the table, startling the trembling principal standing aside.

He adjusted the glasses that had slid off the bridge of his nose, "Did something happen to Mark?"

As the team leader, Hotch was able to keep calm and think carefully, "We found that he has a lot to do with the unsub of this case, and we need him to cooperate."

"Didn't you have a conversation once?" Cold sweat broke out on the old principal's forehead, and he had to take out the handkerchief in his suit pocket to wipe the sweat off his brow.

Facing a group of serious FBI agents, the old principal felt that his heart could not bear it.

"But he still hasn't told us a lot." Oliver dropped his serious expression and put on a very meaningful smile to look at the old headmaster.

Then the old headmaster sat back on the chair tremblingly from the smile, which made Oliver very depressed.

The three agents got together and continued to discuss the next action.

"He knew we were looking for unsub, so he fled quickly. Where could he go? There is no relative in this world anymore." Oliver said.

"But he still has a huge sum of money and a strange ability, so he has no problem running there." Morgan said weakly.

"But he couldn't control himself and would commit crimes again. He dared to commit crimes during the day not only because he had time, but also to show off to the police. If he could continue to kill under multiple investigations, it would be more satisfying for the vanity and rebellion of adolescents Psychology." Hotch analysis.

"But he will not break away from his previous crime patterns for the time being. We need to reverse test and analyze the next potential victim."

As soon as he finished speaking, Oliver walked up to the old principal in a very tacit understanding, and patted him on the shoulder very kindly.

"Mr. Principal, do you know who Mark's friends are?"
