"He admitted it?" asked the chief of the police station.

"No." Hochner looked at Noah inside with a straight face, and said, "But he really wants to go to prison."

"Why?" The chief was confused.

Rossi also wanted to know why at this moment. He looked at Noah and said, "Severus, if you didn't make a mistake, we wouldn't arrest you. Besides, we haven't found you guilty. You are only a criminal suspect at present. Listen Now, I know you are very smart and should judge the pros and cons. If you really made a mistake, you tell us now, let us find Bill and recover the lost property. I promise to help you intercede in the trial. But you If you don’t say it all the time, when we find the evidence, this kind of good thing will be gone.”

"So you mean I will go to jail no matter what? Then take me in quickly, I didn't fall asleep on the plane, I want to have a good rest." Noah stretched out his handcuffed hands and said.

Rossi watched Noah wipe his face with some headaches, and said: "Don't misinterpret what I mean, Sievers. We will only put you in jail if you commit a crime. If you are only blinded by Bill, you will become his accomplice Yes, and if you are willing to provide us with clues now, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."

Noah also had a headache looking at Rossi. He felt tired talking to the detective, so he wiped his face and said, "Sir, don't you understand me? I really want to go to prison right now." Take a break, so I ask you to convict me as Bill's accomplice so we can all relax a bit."

Noah's words sounded quite unreasonable, he seemed to be entangled with Rossi on purpose, but both Rossi and Rhett could see that Noah really wanted to go to prison, which made them feel Very puzzled.

Reid looked at Noah's expression, while recalling all the information related to Noah, while thinking about his behavior pattern, he suddenly asked after a few seconds: "Did you want to go to prison because of money? "

Noah was very frank in this matter, he gave Rhett a look that you are really smart, and said: "Three months ago, when I was playing cards in the casino, someone put something in the wine, and then the next day Woke up to be told that I owed $30 in loan sharks. I failed to raise the money for two months, and the casino guys gave me an ultimatum. They told me that if I didn’t pay within ten days If I pay the money, they will help me find a way to pay it back. You are the police, you should understand the meaning of this sentence. I am not yet [-] years old, of course I don’t want to die, so I approached Bill and hoped to cooperate with him Make a fortune, no matter how much, at least temporarily overcome this difficulty."

Rossi continued his words: "Bill agreed to your request, and then you cooperated to steal Elizabeth Wilton's jewelry, and you were waiting for him outside, so do you know that he killed someone? You should not know until You saw the blood on him when he came out of it. But you were already grasshoppers on a rope, so you helped him clean up the car later. But you are far less skilled than Bill, so accidentally in Evidence of his accomplices was left in a hidden place. Then what happened? Any of Elizabeth Wilton's jewels would pay off your debt, but you wouldn't want to take just one of them So you got into a dispute, and you accidentally killed Bill. But after you finished disposing of the body, you found that the jewels were hidden by Bill, and then you participated in the variety show, is that right?"

Noah had to admire this FBI. He really guessed everything right in the first half, but his guesses were all done by the original owner, and had nothing to do with Noah.

Although Noah wants to go to the prison to eat free public meals, he is not stupid at all. It is one thing to conspire to steal, but another to kill people. This kind of thing can never be admitted.

So he glanced at Rossi and said, "I did plan to steal a rich man with Bill, but in the end my conscience made me give up that night's action."

"You mean you didn't go there that night, but if you didn't go, how are you going to pay back the money?" Rhett asked.

"Run away, I was going to leave New York the next morning, but before I left, I got a call from the "Wilderness Challenge" show, so I went to the casino to talk to the person in charge there, and told them I would win the game, As long as they are willing to let me postpone for a month, I will pay them 15 U.S. dollars when I come back." Speaking of Noah's expression became cold, he looked at Rossi and Reid angrily and said: "Originally my The plan went well, I stocked up more than 100 pounds of meat in the shelter, and I can lie down and win. But thank you for your hard work in investigating the case, as long as I leave here now, I probably won’t see the sun outside tomorrow. So in order to express my apologies, dear police comrades, you should be willing to help find a safe place?"

Rhett; "..."

When Noah said this, Reid really felt a little embarrassed, and at the same time understood why Noah was so uncooperative.If he did owe $15 to loan sharks, they would have sent him to his death by cutting him off.Compared with being caught by usury after going out and being tortured to death without knowing how, the prison is indeed safer for him now.

But they are the law-abiding FBI, and it is impossible to put people in prison casually. Reid scratched his hair, suppressed the weird feeling in his heart and said: "Severs, if you want to go to prison, the only way is to tell us Honestly, where is Bill, has he been killed by you? Has he hidden the bag of jewels?"

"I said, I didn't kill him, and I don't know where he is now, let alone whether he has hidden jewels." Noah said innocently.

Really, he didn't lie, the man was killed by the original owner and had nothing to do with him.Moreover, the powder left over after disposing of the corpse was also washed into the sewer by him, and he really doesn't know where it is now.As for the bag of jewels, he hid it, not Bill.

Rossi and Rhett also saw that he really wasn't lying, and they both frowned in confusion.Noah has all the characteristics of a high-IQ criminal, and he feels quite dangerous to them, but he didn't lie about Bill. Could it be that their profiling was wrong?

"Did you really not kill someone?" Rhett asked unwillingly.

"I can swear that I have never killed anyone in this world." Noah said, all the people he killed were from another world, and none of those people were innocent, so he had a very clear conscience.

He was telling the truth, Rossi and Rhett thought at the same time, and then they dropped the pens in their hands helplessly, because there was no need to continue the trial.

The two stood up and were about to leave. Noah said immediately after seeing it: "I have told the truth, can I go to the prison for a short stay now?"

"No, the prison is overcrowded and will not accept new guests casually." Rossi turned his head, patted Noah on the shoulder and said, "It was indeed our mistake to catch you, so in order to make up for this mistake, I can borrow You $15, and I'll get you the check later."

"!!!"

Noah blinked in surprise when he saw Rossi walking out of the interrogation room. How did such a stupid and rich person become the FBI.Although he doesn't have much idea about the specific purchase power of US dollars, he also knows that 15 is not something that ordinary people can take out casually. This agent named Rossi lends it to a stranger so easily. How much money does it take to be so philanthropic?

Outside the interrogation room, the chief of the police station saw the two people walking out and asked strangely: "What's going on? Are you not going to continue the interrogation?"

"There is no need to continue the trial. He didn't kill Bill Gilbert, and he doesn't know the other party's whereabouts." Reid said.

"He's obviously talking nonsense. All the evidence proves that Bill Gilbert's disappearance is related to him. You should continue to ask." The director said angrily. He didn't understand profiling, but he knew how to read evidence, so He could not agree with Rossi and Rhett's judgment.

"If you don't believe it, you can go to Dr. Carl Letterman, and I can guarantee that Noah Sievers is not lying." Rossi said, then turned his head and walked out.

"Of course I will look for him. I will not let the only criminal suspect go casually." The chief said, and then left angrily.

The man who left bau looked at Hotchner and asked, "What do we do now?"

"Think about how to write a report that satisfies Strauss." Hotchner glanced at Rossi and said.

But Rossi didn't see his gaze, he still set his gaze on Noah in the interrogation room.

"Then shall we not continue the investigation?" asked.

"It's unnecessary, the only suspects have been proven innocent, and we can't find any more leads," Hotchner said.

"Then are we ready to leave now?" Morgan asked, although he was still very upset, but investigations are sometimes like this, the experience spent and the results obtained are never directly proportional, even Bau, which is famous for its extremely high detection rate, They also cannot 100% guarantee to solve the case.

Hotchner nodded and said, "Tell the police here that we are going back, and there are more cases waiting for us."

After hearing this, everyone started to go out. This time the case was not resolved, and they would inevitably be reprimanded, but just like what Hochner said, there are more cases waiting for them, and they have to forget this case as soon as possible. Impact.

Hotchner and Rossi walked at the back, and he purposely distanced himself from everyone and whispered to Rossi, "You should ask more about that jewel."

"Alan, I owe you a favor." Rossi pursed her lips and said.

After confirming his thoughts, Hochner paused and said, "David, this is a big favor. How are you going to compensate me?"

"You can have as many meals as you want me to treat you to," Rossi said.

"That's what you said." Hochner raised his eyebrows, and said after walking a few steps: "If you have something to do, solve it as soon as possible."

"I will, thank you, Alan." Rossi stopped and looked at Hotchner and said.

"No, I'm always easy to be captured by guys with good cooking skills." Hotchner tilted his head, then turned and followed the footsteps of his colleagues and left.

After waiting for him to leave, Rossi took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and said to the opposite side: "Carl, I need you to do me a favor..."

Bau put down the case, but the director here found Dr. Letterman, a polygraph expert, as he said, but after talking with Noah, he came to the same conclusion as Bau, Noah was innocent, he did not kill.

So in the end, even if the director was extremely unwilling, he had to release Noah.

When Noah left, he met Rossi at the door. The old man with the mustache realized his Noah and handed him a brand new check.Noah took it over in a daze and looked at it, and then said in surprise: "It says 16."

"I don't think you have any money with you. Use it. I don't charge interest here." Rossi said with a smile.

Noah glanced at him, folded the check and stuffed it into his pocket and said, "But I don't know when I will be able to pay back the money."

Noah is confident in his ability to survive in the wild, but he is not sure if he can find a better job in such a big city.

He is not familiar with American society, and he only has a primary school diploma.The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to communicate with people in society, because he lived in a closed circle in his previous life before the end of the world, and he didn't have much experience in contacting the outside world. After the end of the world, force is the means of communication for human beings. So it was easier for him to fight than to fight, and it was really hard for him to find a better job to make money and pay off his debts.

But Rossi didn't seem to care about it. He shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can pay it back slowly. Would you mind telling me your creditor's phone number?"

"Uh...my phone is off." Noah said embarrassingly scratching his head.

"Oh, then call me after you've paid the bill?" Rossi said, pulling a business card out of his pocket.

"Okay, I will remember." Noah nodded, took the business card and stuffed it into his pocket together with the check just now.
