Meet the father-in-law [Comprehensive]

"I once stayed in Japan for a while, and I met a little girl who liked dolls very much. There is a very famous doll in Japan called a ball joint doll (ddoll). The raw material of this doll is special resin, which is expensive to make, and the eyes , hair, clothing, makeup...all can be replaced and changed according to the owner's preferences, and the degree of freedom is very high."

"To a certain extent, the appearance of the doll is determined by the facial makeup...paste sticks, varnish, model paint, etc., can be used to make up the doll. As for the unlined clothing, it is also very similar to the doll clothing. style."

"This case should indeed be a 'doll case', but there are many similar dolls, such as Barbie, why did you think of that specific doll?" Emily asked immediately.

"Because of Gail's case, all the hair on his body was shaved. This state is similar to the original state of the doll, no makeup, no hair - in most cases, no eyes. But the unknown suspect did not remove the cover. For yesterday's victim, he didn't change the other person's hair into a wig, and he didn't change her into false eyes, so I'm not completely sure about this." Elide's attitude was very frank.

"If the unknown suspect is a 'collector', he may have considered the hair color and eye color when selecting the target, which can reduce the 'difficulty of manufacturing' in the later stage," Reed quickly took the conversation, "he The victim's body shape requirements are relatively high, Gail is in good shape because he often goes to the gym, as for yesterday's female victim—"

Rhett wanted to say something more, when the door of the meeting room was knocked suddenly, Sergeant Yin stood at the door, holding a document, looking very angry.

"We received another report. A corpse similar to yesterday's was found in the industrial area. According to the preliminary inference of the forensic doctor, the time of the two people's murder and the time of abandonment were similar. However, the unknown suspect removed the second female corpse. eyeballs, and replaced them with prosthetic eyes."

For a moment, everyone looked at Elied. After a moment of silence, Hodge cleared his throat:

"Let's go and see the situation, and we can post the profile when we get back."

The condition of the second unidentified female corpse is similar to the first one, both of which are young girls no older than 20 years old.However, the hair of this female corpse was brown, and the eyes were replaced with rich green. Both the makeup and the clothes on her body looked similar to the other victim's style, but they were completely different in color and matching.

A very obvious feature, the unknown suspect wants to create a "series".

After everyone returned to the office with all kinds of new information, Hodge found Sheriff Yin and asked her to gather all the police officers involved in the investigation.After everyone arrived, Hodge glanced at Elliott and signaled her to start.

"The unknown suspect is between 30 and 45 years old, male, with high IQ, very organized in his work, strong learning ability and hands-on ability, embalming treatment and makeup techniques need to be learned and practiced; he is extremely charismatic , is bisexual or ordinary people can't see his homosexuality; he is also very good at dressing himself, has his own dressing style, fashionable but not exaggerated; "

After the woman finished speaking, it was Morgan who took over.

"He's got a lot of money or a big inheritance, and he lives in the Diamond District, the Fashion District, and the Upper East Side, and he's got to have a nice car, and the girls he meets at the bar are happy to get in his car; at the same time, he There are also properties on the outskirts of the city or in other isolated places within the city where you can do whatever you want without being discovered."

Emily: "He has a foundation in art, and at the same time understands the knowledge and skills of fashion design and sewing. He may be a fashion designer, may be engaged in related work in the clothing industry, or at least have attended professional courses related to these - we Our technicians have already begun to investigate this information."

Rossi: "The unknown suspect has his own unique hobby. He likes a specific doll, but for his gender and age, this should only be a hidden hobby. His friends will not know this. But , The main manufacturers of this kind of dolls are all in Asia, and the price is expensive, Gotham Customs may have relevant documents and records, the classification is 'toys' or 'gifts', I hope you can send someone to investigate this part of the information."

"Considering the time when he committed the crime, we believe that he experienced a major setback or blow a year ago, which may be the death of a relative, job failure, etc. After finding that the doll could not provide him with enough spiritual comfort, he turned to start Looking for a bigger thrill. The only exact address we have so far is the gym in the Diamond District, and I suggest you start your investigation there."

After Hodge finished speaking, he nodded to Sergeant Yin, who immediately clapped his hands and loudly ordered the police officers to act quickly.

To be honest, gcpd is different from many police stations they have encountered before. These police officers don't feel very positive, and they seem to be passing by.Even though Sergeant Yin shouted hurriedly, they still walked unhurriedly, whispering with disapproving expressions on their faces.

The voice of one of the police officers was especially loud: "I really want to say, a rich man with great charm and so much private property, why don't they check on that Wayne, don't everyone think he is a change—"

Sergeant Yin coughed heavily, the police officer stopped talking, looked at Sergeant Yin shyly, and then hurried out with his head down.

Both Dick and Elide must have heard what the man said, but they didn't seem to care.The moment he met Elide's eyes, Hodge clearly read her meaning: "I'm used to it."

Since the owners with interests don't care, the bau people can only pretend not to hear.Hodge reassigned the task again. According to the enthusiasm of the police officers of gcpd, it would definitely not work to hand over all the investigation matters to them. Everyone in bau still had to do it themselves.

The people on duty left the police station again. Reid and Garcia were still in the conference room, one was busy sorting out and analyzing the existing information, and the other was busy cross-comparing the list of suspects.Not long after, Dick suddenly rushed in from the outside, and said to Garcia with a happy face:

"I found out, Penelope! If the unknown suspect can't show his dolls in real life, he will definitely show them on online platforms! I just searched on instagram, here are a few accounts, you see See whose IP address is in Gotham!"

As Dick spoke, he handed over a piece of paper on which more than a dozen account names were densely written. Garcia patted Dick on the shoulder excitedly, praised "You are a handsome guy", and then started to work.

It didn't take long for her to compare all the ins accounts. Among the dozen or so accounts, the common IPs of five ids were all in Gotham, and the gender of three of them was unknown.

Garcia soon discovered the strangest one: the person's IP addresses all come from unencrypted public wifi, such as coffee shops such as Starbucks.

"I'm going to look for related enthusiasts on the Internet to see who can tell me the brand of these dolls. I have also got the list from the customs, and I will definitely find this guy!"

For Garcia, she has never been afraid of "a lot of information", she hates those "a lot of information without additional filters".

After cross-comparing several long lists in her hand, Garcia finally found an unknown suspect who fit the profile: Maurice Cook, 36, a former male model turned menswear designer.His parents died young, and he lived with his uncle since he was a child. Ten years ago, his uncle died in a cruise ship accident and left him a considerable inheritance and several properties.In the early years, he had some criminal records of taking drugs and destroying public property, but in recent years he has come to be regarded as innocent.

Garcia quickly found the addresses of the four properties under his name, all three were in the urban area, and there was a small farm on the outskirts of the city, which was not far from the Gotham Botanical Garden and the Zoo, and not far from the famous Weibo Park in Gotham. En Manor is only five or six kilometers away.

Considering that Cook may still have hostages, at least one bau member is in each of the four action groups.As usual, Hodge, the team leader, took Elide, who was an intern, to the farm in the suburbs, while Morgan and Rosie split up, and Reid was with Emily.

With the sound of sirens, several police cars roared through most of the city, heading straight for Cook's farm.

As soon as the police car stabilized, Hodge took the lead and rushed over with his gun raised.It was getting late at this moment, the night sky was full of dark clouds, and there were no lighting measures near the farm, so the light was dim, so everyone could only rely on the flashlights in their hands.

The farm under Cook's name looks more like a holiday villa with a manor. Not to mention that the house is close to the forest, all the fields behind the house have been converted into glass greenhouses. From a distance, there are many plants planted.

A group of people rushed into the house, and soon found a large number of tools and antiseptic reagents in the basement-it seemed that the unknown suspect was that Cook had not escaped.The good news is that they didn't find the third body in the house, and the bad news is...they didn't find Cook either.

After a brief meeting, everyone decided to expand the search area and go to the glass greenhouse behind to explore the situation.

Most of the glass greenhouses are filled with succulents, all of which are very beautiful in shape and color. In addition, there are many roses, roses and other flowering plants-all perfect photo props.When Hodge and Elide came to the last greenhouse, they found that the style inside had changed drastically. They were all leafy tropical plants. The temperature in the greenhouse was very high and the air was very humid.

The two took a few steps inward, and soon noticed that the glass door on the other end had been opened, and it looked...as if someone had just left.Hodge rushed over there immediately, and Elide couldn't react for a while, and was a few seconds behind before catching up.

As soon as she stepped out of the conservatory, the cool air blowing against her face refreshed her spirits. Elide couldn't help but take a deep breath, but after a moment, she held her breath and suddenly widened her eyes.

There were two people standing not far in front of her, one was Hodge, and the other was confronting him...

Even in dim light, Elide could clearly see the man's fiery red hair, faint green skin, and countless vines wrapped around his body!

Raising the gun without hesitation, Elide shouted sharply:

"—Poison Ivy! Stay away from him!"
