[Criminal Minds] The Man in the Mirror

Hotch looked at Elle, with a gentle expression under the familiar face, and the diamond ring on her ring finger showed that she was married.

Alerander was taken away by Rossi, while Anne, laughing through tears, chewed marshmallows next to Emily, who had just greeted her ex in a friendly way.

Speaking of family, Elle laughed it off. The husband is a judge. The two met in court, fell in love, got married, and had Anne.Today, the child's grandfather was discharged from the hospital, and the family came to pick up the old man. Hotch quietly watched the man holding the ice cream for Anne, and there was love in his eyes.

"what are you doing now?"

"Do you remember Katie Cole? I work in the branch of the Crimes Against Children Unit she belongs to. Work is not as busy as BAU, Anne can't take care of herself yet..."

Hotch's eyebrows stretched, since Elle left BAU, he felt that this would be another sad story, but fortunately, the ending was unsatisfactory.

"Hotch, I heard from Emily about Foyet..." Elle hesitated, "How are you and Jack?"

"I'm fine, Jack is being looked after by Haley's sister and the Jessica family loves him."

The impeccable answer made the two of them fall into silence until the little girl in a floral dress came over to ask Mommy for a hug after eating candy, her sweet voice was like Jack.

"Hotch, if you meet the right woman...Jessica can't take care of Jack all the time, he needs a mother, not an aunt," Elle stroked the top of her daughter's hair, which she inherited from her mother's long chestnut hair, "believe me, everyone needs Normal family life."

Hotch choked on the "normal" in her sentence, the family said goodbye to him, her husband picked up the baby, and Anne pressed a kiss on his cheek, Elle said.

"Say hello to Morgan and the others for me."

Hotch was in the passenger seat and the detective was driving.

Rossi told him that Alerander had a gunshot wound on his left arm, probably left by Yao Sulin, and he asked to see Yao Sulin as a bargaining chip for confession.With the current evidence, the old detective is not worried that he will escape the electric chair, but if they want to overturn the case, they must know whether he or Arthur killed the Chinese girl.

The director of the BAU threw down a sentence, don't let her see Alerander.

"Believe me, everyone needs a normal family life."

Normal, this kind of life of begging for family affection in the cracks of work around the clock has long been abnormal, at least not normal for ordinary people, such as Elle.

Hotch took a deep breath, and the answers he was about to come up turned into messy and messy images. Yao Sulin and Jack, Yao Sulin and Jack played puzzles together, Yao Sulin and Jack played football together, Yao Sulin and Jack stayed up late at night to give him a neat and tidy picture when he got home. Smiling face, he saw the small room smelling of tea, half-drawn curtains cut off the afternoon light, she was curled up in the dark, standing in the light, he leaned over to pull her over, her face was gloomy, the same as before in the duplex building The heroine of the photo seems to be two people.

Before he thought it was sadness, now he knew it was fear.A black humorous secret fermented for ten years, she was afraid, she was afraid of California, afraid of strangers, afraid of walking through the dark and deserted alleys at night, and then a person sneaked out and glanced at her like a jackal, you thought you escaped Lose.

Since he was afraid of the dark night, why did he rush over every time Jack acted coquettishly?

Why do you want to be a psychiatrist if you are afraid of strangers?

Since there is an unbearable past in the United States, why not return to China?

Yao Sulin saw him clearly, but he knew nothing about it.The answer is definitely not because she is as simple as Yao Sulin, but he doesn't want to delve into it.

He knew enough.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room can probably be described as "the rain is about to come and the building is full of wind".

Rossi and Morgan exchanged a few rounds of questions, and Emily rushed in, thinking that the dark-haired, brown-eyed female detective would somehow make him confess, but unfortunately, Alerander was determined to be an oyster.

Standing outside the door, Hotch suddenly felt a heat in his palm, and looked down to see that it was a paper cup of coffee, not like a police station.

"I bought some coffee beans with the professor..." Yao Sulin explained.She also just came back, catching up with their interrogation.

Rossi slapped the table at Alerander, Reid noticed that Alerander's eyes were wrong, he looked up at Yao Sulin, the two discussed for a while and Reid came out, Yao Sulin saw that he was exhausted, she handed him the coffee, and heard Alerander shouting, Beck.

Yao Sulin froze, she could only see Alerander's side face, his voice was gentle, and he called Beck again.

The long-lost reunion of the youth idol drama was staged nondescriptly in the interrogation room. Looking at the shocked crowd, Yao Sulin gritted her teeth: "Alerander, tell me, did you kill Chen?"

Alerander shook his head.

"Okay, before... I mean the ten years before and the shooting after that, are you trying to kill me?"

Yao Sulin was supported by a pair of hands on the shoulders, and she knew who it was.The approved woman stares at the man in front of her. She wants an explanation, even if it comes from a multiple personality patient.

Alerander was still smiling, full of smiles.

"I want to kill Reid and Granger. They dumped my sister and competed with her for a scholarship. I followed you and wanted to find a single opportunity to strike. If you don't give it to me, I've waited for ten years."

Hotch felt her whole body shaking.

"I remember you chatted with me that day, and you talked a lot. You said it wasn't my fault, yes, it wasn't my fault, they forced her to death, they damn—"

Alerander suddenly lowered his head, and when he looked up again, he was no longer gentle. He broke free from the handcuffs, and Yao Sulin heard the wind blowing in his ears, "Why didn't you save my sister, why didn't you save..."

Morgan on the side held him down, Hotch found the woman in his arms began to sob shortly, he patted her on the back, Yao Sulin coughed a few times, and a more intense sweet smell came out of her throat.
