As soon as Morgan and Reid entered the forensic room, they were shivered by the cold air inside.

The forensic room looked very empty. Mrs. Jully's body was laid flat on the dissecting table. One forensic doctor was checking her internal organs, and the other kept recording with a pen.Seeing Morgan and Reid pushing the door in, they just nodded, making it impossible to see the expression on the face covered by the mask.

Morgan and Reid didn't rush forward to disturb them either, they just stood aside and watched quietly.Until the forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy let out a long breath, covered the body with a white cloth again, and took off the mask, the work was considered to be over.

"Things may be a little troublesome." The face originally covered by the mask is not amazing, but it is an oriental face that does not tell the age and makes people feel very comfortable. "I suspect there's a lot of shady stuff involved."

"What?" Reid quickly responded, "You don't think this is pure murder?"

"Although some psychopaths like to play these grandstanding tricks, this one really doesn't look like it." The forensic doctor took off the thin rubber gloves stained with some blood, and motioned for Morgan and Reid to follow her to the laboratory table inside. Remember the blood water that melted the ice cubes? We found through testing that after removing the water that melted the ice cubes, there was less than 3000 milliliters of blood in it. And the blood in the victim's body was almost exhausted."

"The victim weighed about 4000 kilograms and had at least [-] milliliters of blood in her body." Reid continued, "She had lost too much blood before."

The forensic doctor did not refute, "There are two wounds on the deceased's body. One is located in the vein at the base of the thigh. There is an incision there. I believe that is the place where blood was drawn. The other is much larger, here." She used He pointed to his head.

Morgan picked up the blood test form on the table with a very puzzled expression.Although he is not a Kid, he knows most of the data, but why, he suddenly felt that his cognition was wrong?

Wasn't this blood test really done by the forensic doctor between meals?Why did he find the name of the spice on it?

"That's another problem, and that's why I said things might be a bit troublesome." The forensic doctor didn't ignore Morgan, obviously, she was very satisfied with Morgan's indescribable expression, "What do you think of cannibals? "

"Cannibal?" Morgan couldn't help raising his voice, and then realized something was wrong under Reid's frown, and cleared his throat, "Are you going to tell me that this blood with spices and ice cubes is a drink Or a dip?"

"I'm afraid so." The forensic doctor nodded, "During the examination, I found that the deceased's throat was contused, as if she had been force-fed something. When I opened her abdominal cavity, I found that she hadn't eaten for a long time The stomach is empty, and only a ball of wax was found in the stomach. I thought it would be an important cause of her death, but when I opened the ball of wax, there was only a golden A note. It says - ENJOY."

"I have to suspect that the deceased was treated as a well-prepared dish and placed there waiting for visitors to taste." The forensic doctor finally said.

"If it's really what the forensic doctor guessed, it's probably not a single person behind this, but a complete chain of buying and selling." After leaving the forensic room, the cold air seemed to still be attached to him. Talk to Reid, "We can only start with that note, and check its manufacturer and operator. The quality of the note is very good, and the price should not be cheap. This can help us narrow down the scope."

"It's a pity that the font above is a standard swashbuckling font, without any personal style. It is difficult to analyze the murderer's character through the notes." Reid nodded in agreement.

"I don't know what Rossi and the others will gain." Morgan pinned his hopes on it.

Just when Isaac felt that removing the brain was a matter of utility or symbolism rather than appetite, he received the coup de grace from Morgan.

"Cannibal?" Isaac was so shocked that his expression couldn't keep up with the emotional changes, and he looked very calm and calm.

"We assume this is a buying and selling chain." After the three people who went out returned, Morgan and Hotch had discussed a round and came to a preliminary conclusion, "Someone wants to try something new, and then he finds someone to order the goods, and someone is in charge of hunting. , someone is in charge of cooking, and then sends the processed 'big meal' to the designated place for people to enjoy, maybe there will be comments afterwards. All this is done secretly, without anyone knowing. We have also seen, The place where the body was found was less populated, and if it hadn't been broken by a few high school students this time, the matter might never have been revealed."

"What about the high school kids?" Rossi asked.

"I went to see them in the hospital," Emily replied, "They're members of a school fraternity, and this time they're mainly here to inspect the terrain."

"Survey?" Isaac raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, investigation." As a person who once rebelled, she is no stranger to this. "They wanted to find an excellent place and set it up as a trial ground for testing new members of the Brotherhood, and it turned out..."

"So, they found this place by accident," Rossi said.

"Yeah, they were all terrified." Emily said, "They were full of energy, and then the police arrived and found that many of the doors that were violently kicked open were their masterpieces. When they kicked open the room where the dead body was , all of them were terrified. We must be thankful that they are not very courageous, and after finding out that something is wrong, there is no destruction scene with strong curiosity, but turned around and ran away, for fear that they would accidentally break into the scene of the cult and be killed and silenced."

"So, they alarmed the people who were supposed to come to this feast, and turned...the scene into a corpse throwing scene?" Isaac turned his pen and began to wander around the world again.

How many cannibals are there in Baltimore?All he knew was that one, but...

The pen in Isaac's hand was spinning faster and faster, and the connection was so obvious that he thought it was a trap. Is it true that no one knows what Dr. Lecter has done for so many years?Even if it is well hidden, will it really not reveal any telltale feet?Could it be that someone knew his true face and used this method to involve him?

If yes, is that person an enemy or a friend?

"I think that the removal of the deceased's brain is not what we guessed before to reduce the weight of the head to facilitate modeling." Reid took out the clues he got from the forensic doctor and analyzed it with everyone. "The forensic doctor made a judgment on the time of the craniotomy. It was two days before the deceased's heart stopped beating."

With a "snap", the spinning pen in Isaac's hand flew out, hit the computer screen, and finally fell under the table.

"Isaac?" Reid asked. "What did you think?"

"I suddenly thought of a kind of sashimi." Isaac bent down and picked up the pen. "In Japan, it is a new way of eating."

"What?" Although I don't know what this has to do with Japanese food, since Isaac mentioned it, everyone listened carefully.

"For a fresh bullfrog, kill its brain, then peel it and cut it into pieces, put it on a plate with the previously cut head, and eat it with condiments. In the process of eating, although it is dead, the nerves will react. Still, its eyes even blink, as if watching humans eat its body."

It was quiet.

Although no one reacted violently, the expressions said it all.

"So, if the deceased was really prepared for the diners, her brain was killed too early." Issac said, "Since someone will enjoy this kind of feast, I don't think he will care about more ethics. .There is still a difference between the freshest and the second freshest, isn't there?"

"You mean, divide this into two murders." Hotch thought for a moment, "One for the brain and one for the body."

"People who enjoy novelty hunting have no reason to refuse more novelty hunting." Isaac said, "So, it is not accidental that the deceased was targeted. The second time is like finding a way to solve subsequent troubles."

"The deceased went to the gang's territory after being fired, and the two have nothing to do with each other on the surface." Rossi squinted, "What makes a person who is simple and clean in his spare time and not short of money be late at night when he is fired? Go to the gang's territory?"

"Drugs?" JJ replied.

"Impossible." Reid retorted, "The results of the autopsy confirmed that the deceased was in good health and had no bad habits, but she had not eaten before her death and relied on glucose to maintain her vital signs. Also, there was only a small amount of anesthetic left in her body. It was injected during surgery by the murderer to incapacitate her."

"There is another possibility." Isaac looked out the window, and the sky that was still sunny just now was cloudy now, "Maybe she is the gangster threatening to work in the clinic in order to get some news from Dr. Lecter. But she She was fired, and maybe Dr. Lecter found out that something was wrong, so there is no need for her to exist."

"What we have to do now is to visit Dr. Lecter again and ask about the deceased's job content, what's so special about it." Isaac squinted his eyes, as if he was dazzled by the sunlight that suddenly shot out from the dark clouds.

This is a new way of thinking, only Reid can see from his eyes that even Isaac himself doesn't believe this reason.
