Hodge and Emily were planning to visit the aid center when a 28-year-old woman was reported missing.

"When did you find out she was missing?" Carol handed a cup of coffee to the lady who came to report the incident. "Are you sure she's missing?"

"Yes, I'm sure, just the day before yesterday, she went out at night and never came back." The lady squeezed the paper cup in her hand, and the warm coffee felt warm in her hand, "She is a mother , will not leave a two-year-old child at home, go out for a day and a night and never come back."

Suspicious indeed, but it's not certain she's missing yet.

"Have you ever called her?" Carol said softly, "Don't worry, we will help you..."

"No, her phone is on the table at home." The lady was obviously comforted, and the low sobs gradually disappeared. She calmed down and slowly recounted the situation at that time.

"Have you received any letters from him at home?" Carol recorded all the news she said, raised her head, and asked softly, "Or did she say where to go?"

The lady stared at him in disbelief: "How is it possible, she can't leave the child and go out to play alone!"

"Listen, ma'am..." JJ calmed her agitated emotions, and explained the reason for their asking, "So we need to know if the family has received the letter."

"I haven't cleaned my mailbox for a week. You know, these electronic products don't need to be cleaned regularly like before." The lady looked at Carol and put down her coffee cup, "I'm sorry..."

"It's okay ma'am."

After a while, the reporter was sure that the missing lady had indeed left her a letter.

Carol directly contacted a professional to take care of this, say print it out for Rhett...

The content is normal, say goodbye, and say that I will go out to play for a few days.But everyone knows that this is probably left by the suspect.No one would leave a child at home to go out and play alone, especially if the child is only two years old.

After sending the reporter away, Carol shook his head, turned around, and saw JJ looking at him with his head tilted. If others were stared at by the beautiful sister, they would definitely be embarrassed, but as Carol who has been single for so many years by virtue of his ability, He blinked suspiciously: "What's wrong? My face is dirty?"

"Well done."

Carol showed eight white teeth: "Thank you for the compliment."

JJ was amused by his funny gesture: "Honestly, they don't want to talk to the families of the victims."

"I don't like talking about it." Carol shrugged. "There's a terrible word called empathy."

"So..." JJ blinked playfully, and leaned against the door with folded arms, "What's the matter with the little dolphin?"

Carol: "..." I didn't realize that you are such a beautiful sister, you are so gossip!

……

After Hodge and Emily returned from the assistance center, the profile of the suspect was basically formed.

"The unknown suspect we are looking for is about 30 years old, male. He is friendly, understanding, and does not seem to be a threat."

"He likes young and beautiful women, but he doesn't have the guts to talk to them, so he uses his work to get close to them. He has a strong physique, but he lacks confidence in himself, so he injects these victims with drugs to be sure. .”

"But the complete opposite is that he's a sadist, which is the exact opposite of the extreme low self-esteem in him, he's tyrannical, he abuses his victims for a long time, the abuse escalates, and his own self-confidence is satisfied .”

"And this kind of tyranny may be related to his work. He receives different calls for help every day, and listens to others complaining about the difficulties of life. He feels uneasy and unsatisfactory in life, which makes him feel that everyone owes him. ..."

"In front of prey that is impossible to resist, the suspect has the courage to shoot them. He abandoned the body in the wilderness where no one can see it, indicating that he was afraid of being exposed. He lived nearby and he knew where no one would find him. , will not expose myself."

"The reason why he feels so nervous may be that his family is here, he has children, and he can't just leave this place." Reid pointed to the map behind him, and pointed the circled place to The police look, "We're looking for people who have recently lost their jobs, or their families have broken up, or they've had a setback. Look out for people who live in remote areas."

"OK, everyone, please be safe, thank you." Hodge ended the release of the profile with standard words.

"What did Garcia find?" Time passed, and it had been 63 hours since the latest victim disappeared.According to Reid's calculation, she still has more than 20 hours left.

Emily shook her head: "The suspect may be working there, but the supervisor can't remember clearly. There are many employees who answer the phone and many callers."

"The suspect selects the victim based on certain conditions that meet him." Hodge frowned. "We have to go back and study the victim again."

……

The room was not big. The teenage boy put down his backpack, walked silently to the innermost room, and sat by the bed: "Mom, have you taken your medicine today?"

The woman lying on the bed did not move, just lying there quietly, like a lifeless doll.

The boy didn't care, he picked up the water beside the bed and said, "I've taken the medicine."

After feeding the woman the medicine, the boy walked out of that room and glanced at the man who was busy in the kitchen, his eyes were full of coldness.He hated the man in it, even if it was his father.

"The meal is ready, have you eaten yet?" The father came out, looked at his son and said, "Or..."

"Don't worry about it, just stay in your studio!" The boy slammed the door and left directly.

The man Nuonuo waited for a long time, wiped his hands after taking off his apron, found a sharp knife from the knife holder in the kitchen, put it in his hand, and then went to the warehouse in the backyard.

In the warehouse, the afternoon sun lightly shone in the dark room. The blood-stained lock was held by both hands and smashed at the ax not far away, but how could the iron lock be broken so easily? At that moment, the figure of the man seemed to be the god of death wearing a black cloak and holding a sickle, walking from hell, with the breath of death and infinite fear.

"Help! Please..." The owner of those hands was a young girl with black hair and green eyes filled with tears of fear and terror.

"What are you doing?" The man looked at his prey, "You are not good, did you not learn enough from last time?"

The woman's body trembled, and she shrank back.

"Then what do you like?" The man said, "It's okay, I will satisfy you—" The knife was extremely sharp with a cold light, and when it touched the woman's delicate cheek, it immediately brought out a trace of blood.

"no..."

The woman closed her eyes, thinking of her child, her family...

"FBI! Nelson W. Baker, put down the knife in your hand, and turn around!" Morgan put on his hat backwards, kicked open the door of the warehouse, and rushed in, followed by Huo Kee went to the front room with Carol and Red, and JJ with Emily and Rosie.

The man was obviously frightened. He pulled the woman over his chest and put the knife on the woman's fragile neck: "Back! Back! Or I'll kill her!"

"You know you've got nowhere to go!" Hodge's voice was calm, with a feeling of no doubt.

"How did you find this place?" The suspect stared closely at Hodge, feeling a little agitated.

"No matter how we got here, we found it, put down the knife." Morgan didn't intend to explain, "You know how things will end."

If you don't put down the knife, you will most likely be shot dead. They are not the only ones at the scene, there are several snipers outside.

"Because you are short-sighted." Reed said, "You made a mistake and dropped the lens on the scene, and, based on the reverse analysis of the victim, we determined that your need type is like hers. Introverted and silent girls who don't like to go out and have a relatively narrow social circle, if you follow them, it means that your life has something to do with them."

The knife in the suspect's hand loosened: "Is that so?" He looked at Hodge, he couldn't trust this kid, he didn't look like an FBI at all.

"You don't believe it? Dr. Reid has three doctorates, and what he said is correct." Carroll blinked, "Mr. Baker, the letters you left to the victim's family, the grammar and tone of the letter you used are all different from your own." Same, these little habits cannot be concealed."

Rhett glanced at his little friend from the corner of his eye, and suddenly regretted giving him a gun, obviously he was not approved to show up with a gun... Why didn't he hold on to it...

Moreover, Hodge did not stop it!

"You are talking nonsense!"

The moment Hodge noticed the suspect's excitement, he knew that the suspect himself could not accept the question, especially when questioned by someone who symbolized authority.

"I never talk nonsense, Baker, look, there are FBIs all around you, you can't escape today, let her go!" Hodge's father had a strong aura, which quickly made the suspect unbearable. He held a knife Waving wildly.

"No!"

"That's good, you kill her, we kill you!" Morgan approached slowly.The gun in his hand pointed straight at the suspect without any hesitation.

"Help... help..." The voice of the victim was as thin as a mosquito, and it was extremely fragile in the confrontation between the two sides.

Carol glanced at the lady, looked at her comfortingly, mentally estimated the speed of the bullet in the air and the speed of the suspect... still did not shoot.If he shoots down, both of them may be cold.

If it was before, he might have destroyed the hostage and the gangster together, but now, the hostage is really dead when he dies, and the two-year-old child really has no one to take care of him.
