After Bau took over the case, he rushed to New York immediately, and everyone on the plane waited quietly for the news from Garcia.

It took Garcia a long time to find some clues on a surveillance camera. She opened the surveillance video and said: "I found the murderer's car on a nearby road, but this Ford car is too common. , and he deliberately covered the license plate, it is very difficult to find him."

"It seems that the murderer is very well prepared. This type of criminal usually thinks about all the details before committing a crime, so I think even if we find this car, we probably won't get any clues." Rossi is very experienced. Said.

"You mean he probably stole the car?" Emily asked.

"He is a habitual thief, and habitual thieves are used to stealing all the resources they need, so we don't want him to drive his car to kill people." Rossi replied.

"But he will be fully prepared when he kills, and he doesn't necessarily spend too much energy stealing a cheap Ford, and many thieves steal cars on the spur of the moment. The fastest they can steal a car is only three 4 minutes, so we should still find that car. Garcia, stop the screen at No. 13 seconds." Reid bit his nails and said.

Garcia paused the screen as he said, and Reid immediately pointed to the door and said: "Look here, there is a big scratch on the left door, which is probably caused before the car was stolen, Garcia, Go check the police records and if we're lucky we can find the car."

"Okay, my little doctor." Garcia said, and then sat down in front of the computer and began to search for the reported records of the stolen vehicle.

This time in less than a minute she found a qualifying report, "Here's a guy who reported losing a black Ford two months ago and just had a scratch on the left door. Landlerman, Let me see how his car got lost."

Garcia pursed his lips, tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly, and soon hacked into the data network of the Landleman Reporting Police Station, and retrieved the relevant surveillance records.

Landlerman's car was stolen in the parking lot of a gas station. He went to the toilet after refueling, and the car was gone after he got out.However, two of the monitors in the parking lot were broken, so the thief and the details of the stolen car were not photographed. Only a section of the impact was captured when the car was driven away, and the thief could be seen through the window. profile.

Garcia took the profile and compared it with the profile in the previous surveillance, and quickly determined that the car thief was the murderer they were looking for.

"But with this face, we still can't find out the identity of the murderer." Morgan said with some disappointment.

Sometimes the investigation is like this. You have worked hard to find clues, but it may not be effective. Just when everyone was thinking about how to find new clues, Garcia suddenly said: "Wait, there is a report record here." , Someone found a car in a bridge hole, a black Ford, with scratches on the left door, and the front of the car was completely destroyed, maybe it was abandoned by the murderer."

"Where's the address?" Hotchner asked quickly.

Garcia immediately reported the address, and Hochner ordered after hearing this: "After arriving in New York, Morgan and Emily go to the parking lot, and Rossi and Reed go to the scene of the last case. corpse, we have to profile the murderer as soon as possible."

"No problem." Several people responded, and then fell silent again.

As soon as the plane stopped, everyone immediately began to divide and cooperate. Morgan and Emily rushed to the bridge hole and did a careful inspection of the Ford from the inside to the outside, but there was no suspicious trace on the car. Morgan There was even a strong smell of cleaning agent from inside. Obviously, the murderer did a big cleaning for it before discarding it, destroying all possible clues.

"This guy is too cunning." Morgan said from the front seat of the car.

"He didn't leave any clues at the murder scene. It's impossible for him to leave clues in the car with enough time." Emily straightened up and was about to close the rear door as she spoke, but Before she could close the door, she found half a hair in the front passenger seat's seat belt guide.

"Wait..." She called out to Morgan, then put on the gloves again and pulled the hair out. "The owner's hair is blond, but it's dark brown, the same color as the murderer's hair, so maybe it was his."

Morgan opened the evidence bag, asked Emily to put her hair in, and said, "It seems that we are lucky, let's go back now."

By the time Morgan and Emily arrived at the police station, other people had already gathered in the conference room, and it could be seen from their expressions that they didn't seem to have gained much.

"We found a piece of hair, and we have handed it over to the police here for a DNA comparison, hoping to find the murderer." Morgan offered.

"I found it on the seat belt guide of the co-pilot position. The murderer should have accidentally touched the seat belt, because most people don't pay much attention to that place, so he didn't clean it up." Emily said.

"The co-pilot position?" Rossi raised his eyelids and said, "So the murderer is likely to be two people? Otherwise, he would get in the car from the left side, and it would be impossible for him to get his hair on the seat belt of the right seat."

"Yes, we suspect that it was committed by two people. Elizabeth Wilton's villa has a good anti-theft alarm system, and there are 24-hour patrols nearby. There are no such complete security measures at the crime scene of other cases. We did not have it before. Pay attention to this, but thinking about it now, the murderer may have found a smart companion to help him follow up when he destroyed the alarm system. If there is a strange vehicle parked outside the villa for a long time, it is likely to attract the attention of the patrol, so It is likely that his partner took the car to another hidden place while he was committing the crime," Morgan said.

"Oh, of course he will have a companion." Rossi suddenly realized: "Look, in the previous four murders, he didn't spend much energy to move them after killing the corpses, basically killing them somewhere Just put it there. When he was working on the third case, he had already discovered the magical effect of temperature, so he bought ice cubes in advance. If he took the incubator into the house while the deceased was taking a bath, it would not take much effort. In the fourth case, the deceased died at the door of the freezer. He only needed to move a few meters to move the deceased into the freezer. But in the case of Elizabeth Wilton, he killed her in the bedroom on the second floor. He could have turned on the air conditioner and thrown her away. He took the dead body downstairs and put it in the refrigerator on purpose. It would leave a lot of marks to clean up, laborious and time-consuming. If he was alone, he would definitely not do it. He knew There is a companion on guard outside, he will not be disturbed, so he can finish the project in leisure."

"It's so strange, why did he suddenly find a companion. The murderer did everything perfectly, and he certainly didn't want others to find him, but in such a case, he found a companion who knew everything he did, That's out of the ordinary." He said with a frown.

"We'll have to wait until we catch him. Maybe it's just a coincidence that he met someone with the same taste. If he doesn't know how to destroy those advanced alarm systems, but he wants to continue stealing from rich people, he'd better We really need a technical talent." Rossi shrugged.

After waiting for an hour and a half, they got the dna comparison results. The hair came from a man named Bill Gilbert. According to Garcia's investigation, this man has multiple illegal records. He has been convicted of stealing fifteen times. Entering the prison, the last time he was almost beaten to death by the criminals in the prison.

"That's him," Hotchner said.

"The last time he was imprisoned was the year before last. That injury must have stimulated him a lot, turning him from a simple thief into a perverted killer. Looking at the discharge records, he was discharged in September of the year before last and did three Months of recovery, so this guy started committing crimes as soon as he recovered." Emily said.

"Garcia, have you found this Bill Gilbert's address?" Morgan turned on the phone and asked.

"No, but I found the address of his girlfriend, she was attacked by some drunks outside a bar three years ago, Bill saved her, there are records in the police station. Oh, God Now, she had a baby in June," Garcia called out.

Everyone felt a little complicated when they heard it. In fact, apart from the natural anti-social personality, most of the perverted killers have a painful past. Bill will come forward to help his girlfriend, proving that he is not a bad person, but The encounter in prison changed him from a protector to a perpetrator.Without that experience, he would probably have settled down after his girlfriend gave birth, but now, he's about to face the law.

After getting the address from Garcia, Hotchner immediately organized the police to rush there, but they did not find Bill Gilbert there, only her girlfriend Anna.

And Anna's condition looked very bad. After questioning, she told the police that his and Bill's child was born with congenital heart disease, and the treatment needed a lot of money, so Bill started two months ago. Think about how to make money, but when he left last month, he never came back.

"Did you not contact him?" asked.

"I thought he abandoned us. Harry's illness would cost a lot of money, but he's just a bartender who can't even support himself. How could he afford the high medical bills?" Anna wiped. Tears said.

"Did you know he's been in jail multiple times for theft?" Rossi asked.

Anna shook her head and said, "I know he passed the prison, but I don't know why."

"We suspected he was involved in five theft homicides, he probably killed a lady named Elizabeth Wilton 20 days ago and stole $500 million worth of jewelry, so I think he's really thinking There is a way to make money, but I don’t know why I haven’t come back.” Rossi said.

Anna immediately burst into tears when she heard this, hugged her to comfort her, and then asked, "Anna, do you know who Bill was close to before he left, or does he have any good brothers?"

"I don't know very well. Since that incident happened, I basically don't go to bars, so I don't know much about him outside. Bill never brought his friends back. He said that everyone he knew outside It's a fox friend, so it's not suitable to bring it back." Anna said.

"So can you give us the address of the bar where he works?" Rossi asked.

"Yes, please find him. No matter what he does, I just want him to know that Harry and I love him." Anna cried.

Everyone didn't agree to her, because they already had a bad feeling. If Bill took the risk of going to Elizabeth Wilton's house to steal enough money to treat his son's heart disease, it would be very difficult for him not to come back for so long. Maybe it's because I can't come back.

Money touches people's hearts, and Bill can kill people for money, but the temporary companion he found may not be able to do such a thing.
