CM The future I see without you

"According to an analysis of the concavities and grooves, the bullet was fired from a .308 caliber semi-automatic gun, the same gun used in the assassination of a black Congressman in Texas three months earlier, which witnesses claimed was of Southern Aryan origin And," Rossi added, pointing to a photo of a middle-aged white male on the whiteboard, "our second victim was a war correspondent who was also implicated in this case, and he sued the chief for the murder of a black man. MP."

"But the leader claimed he didn't know about it, and in his defense he said he had left the organization before it happened," Hotch said.

"Maybe we should talk to him," Jacques said, taking off his coat and throwing it on a chair.

"Emily and Morgan have already been to the hospital after the interview, but Morgan thinks that although his attitude is not very good, he did not lie about this matter." JJ took a sip of coffee, handed a 4A paper to Reid and said, "This is the preliminary autopsy result of the forensic doctor, and..."

JJ seemed unbearable, she said softly: "The sixth victim, the operation failed."

Jacques leaned over to Reid's side, looked at the content on the paper, and said to Hotch: "This does not match the information we got at the scene."

Reid felt Jacques' breath on his neck, which was itchy but very comfortable.

He couldn't take it anymore, so he simply changed his position and directly stuffed the paper into Jacques' hand.

Jacques didn't care, and continued to talk to Hotch: "We judged at the scene that he should be a novice, but judging from the cause of death, each shot accurately hit the victim's neck, heart, brain and other vital organs, the sixth place The reason why the victim still has a chance to be rescued is because his body structure is abnormal and the right side of his heart is heterotopic."

"Why does a sharpshooter pretend to be a novice?" Rossi kept rubbing his index finger on his chin, guessing, "Is it to deal with the forensic doctor? So..." He stood up, staring at the faces of the victims on the whiteboard, and said, "His The shooting was premeditated, the dead were not chosen at random, he had a target."

Everyone fell silent. If this was the case, it would be completely different from the direction of the terrorist attack that was speculated at the beginning.

"Agents." Agent Gegan knocked on the door, bringing bad news, "Second shooting, at a gas station, witnesses did not see the shooter."

Hotch put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at the crowd, and said, "Jacques, you and..."

Rossi stopped Hotch with his eyes at the right time, and said, "Jacques and I will go and have a look together. Reid should stay and help check the victim's background."

"Alright."

Jacques stood up hesitantly, Reid didn't seem to hear it, and kept flipping through the information on the table.

"Witnesses said they heard at least seven shots and three people were shot," Agent Megan, who followed Rossi and Jacques to the scene of the second shooting, she said.

"I don't think what we are investigating is a terrorist attack." Rossi said with a serious look, "We passed a large shopping mall when we came here."

"What do you mean?"

"What the terrorists want is an effect of panic and fear, so a shopping center with more people would be a better choice." Jacques explained thoughtfully.

There must be something bothering, the handsome detective frowned, Megan glanced at him pretending to be casual, those beautiful blue eyes were focusing on a female victim who fell on the ground at this moment, The bloody head seemed like a work of art under his eyes.The female detective couldn't help squatting down, chose a place a little closer to him, and observed with him.

Jacques took the gloves from the physical evidence team, and carefully picked up the mobile phone in the female victim's hand. The screen was completely broken, and there was a black hole in the middle.He said to Rossi: "If he is a sharpshooter who wants to hide his skills, why did he shoot this woman after he accurately shot her cell phone? If it is the same person in these two shots, I mean, go on He's never done that once, except for a deliberately missed bullet."

"I don't know if the chip of this phone has been damaged." Rossi put on his gloves, took the phone and looked at it, thinking that the possibility is relatively low, he said, "If he has a predetermined target, maybe we need to combine these three people with Do a background cross-contrast with the previous victim."

"I thought you kept Reid for this." Jacques stood up, a little dizzy, but he still helped Agent Megan to his feet in a gentlemanly manner.

"Oh, of course." Rossi nodded, pretending not to see the female agent's blushing face, he asked Jacques, "Where will the suspect shoot from?"

"It should be there." Jacques took off his gloves, squinted his eyes, and gestured with his chin to the convenience store full of cars parked across the road.

The female detective retorted intuitively: "There has always been a lot of traffic on this road. If the suspect shot from there, he must accurately time the three victims and ... a mobile phone between the traffic flow and the gas pump?"

"And from a hidden place," Rossi added.

Jacques' head was still a little dizzy, he didn't eat anything on the plane in the morning, and his fragile stomach began to ache like a burning fire, the sun was like a sharp sword piercing his eyes, and he shed physiological tears.

Jacques wanted to put on his sunglasses, but then he realized that his pair had been handed over to Reid.

Rossi asked Agentmegan to stay here to complete the collection of physical evidence as soon as possible and to see if there was any surveillance video in the convenience store opposite. He had a hunch that the suspect had more than one target.Better go back to the office first and see if Reid and Garcia have any clues.

"Get in the car." Rossi turned the key and called to Jacques who was still in a daze.

Jacques's mind is full of the little doctor, for a while it is Reid's rejection of his cold appearance, and for a while it is the smiling face that comforted him to sleep on the rainy night before.

He seemed to feel something faintly, but he refused to admit it in his heart.

"Jacob." Rossi turned the steering wheel, suddenly talking about the past, "Spencer is a good boy, when Jason found him, he didn't know anything except reading, I mean, um…"

Jacques probably knew what Rossi was going to tell him. After all, he was working with a group of experienced profilers with vicious eyes.But he still listened quietly.

"Sometimes, I mean, some of your ways of doing things can easily give him a misunderstanding." Rossi felt that he was almost broken for these two children. He said, "He takes relationships very seriously. You know? "

"I know." Jacques answered silently in his heart. He suddenly remembered that he once jokingly asked the little doctor if he had ever fallen in love. Reid seriously answered that he had never, but his gentle caramel eyes Full of shyness and anticipation.

"I know you won't be at BAU long," Rossi said, "so if you don't mean it, don't give him too much... I mean, the kind of intimacy that goes beyond co-workers and friends. Don't treat the girls like that , playing with some ambiguity."

"No." Jacques thought to himself, "Reid is different."

But how is it different? Jacques couldn't speak again.

"From the background of the victims, everyone is boring.. oh, sorry, I mean, uh... ordinary." Garcia added nervously, "Sorry, everyone, I don't see any possibility of seeking revenge."

"That's it for now, Garcia, you're doing great." Hotch hung up the phone, staring at the photo on the whiteboard, a cloud of gloom gathered between his brows.

"He's an experienced shooter." Reid said suddenly, "Like Jacques said, you have to be very precise with your timing."

Morgan and JJ nodded, but still couldn't think of what Reid was going to say.

"If we plugged in the scene," Reid went on to speculate, "nobody would move at the first shot."

"Because they are looking for the source of the sound." Emily knew what the little doctor was thinking, she said.

"Right. It takes 0.1 to 0.15 seconds after the second shot for people to realize that their lives are in danger," Reid said. "It takes another 0.7 seconds for the body to react. But by this time the third shot has been fired."

"So his target is the No.3 victim." Hotch quickly found the photo of the victim, and said, "Everyone after the No. [-] victim has a chance to escape. The risk is too great."

"Alice Emerson, 44 years old, social worker, married, has a 12-year-old son." JJ dug out the information and said, "Her husband did not provide any information, but said that Emerson is a kind, good wife and mother."

"She has been working at the Women's Protection Center for the past eight years, which is not an easy job." Morgan raised his eyebrows and said.

"JJ, go and see what information her boss can provide." Hotch assigned the task calmly, "Emily and Morgan go talk to her husband. Reid, these are the materials just sent by Jacques and the others. They think that both sides The victims’ backgrounds intersect.”

"Okay." Reid's eyes darkened, and he took the file and flipped through it.

The temporary office was so small that as soon as JJ and the others left, Reid could feel Hotch's hesitant and worried eyes on him.He raised his head, and saw the always decisive and resolute team leader showing an unbearable expression.

"Reid," Hotch said, hesitantly, "did you know that Jacques was on several FBI teams before joining?"

"I know." A few days after Jacques joined the group, Garcia couldn't help but pulled herself to secretly read Jacques' previous materials.

"His promotion path is very different from other people." Hotch recalled the phone call he received when he took over Jacques as a member of the team. He continued to tell Reid, "Jacques' target is the top management of the FBI, and BAU is just to make up for his age deficiency. A means, I'm not even sure when he will leave us."

"…" Reid never thought about it.

Hotch has complicated emotions. From a leader's point of view, he certainly does not advocate office romance, especially when one party is still unresolved; from the point of view of a friend or an elder, he is very happy that Spencer can start a relationship, to understand that there is nothing in books and data. The taste of love, but he didn't want the child to get hurt.

Spencer is serious, and of course it's not that Jacques is bad, it's just that Hotch doesn't think they're a good fit.

"I hope you can think about it before it's clear." Hotch sighed.
