two people's agreement

Walking into the meeting room, Garcia sent all the case materials to their tablet computers, except for a paper file for Reed.

This case took place in Los Angeles.

This morning, California State Attorney Bill Lawrence returned home after a business trip, only to find that his only daughter, Kathy Lawrence, had been disemboweled and hung on a tree at home.

Kathy Lawrence, 17, a sophomore at a local high school.After forensic identification, the time of death was the early morning of last night. Casey was stabbed several times and then disembowelled.At the same time her boyfriend Roger was also found murdered in the same way in the backyard of Lawrence's home at almost the same time last night.

"Does this sound familiar?" Garcia directly asked this sentence after initially explaining the case.

"This is the plot of "Scream"!" Reed answered her directly, ""Scream" is a horror thriller movie released in 1996. The film was directed by Wes Craven. Written by Yun Williamson, the film tells the story of a high school student in Woodsboro who becomes the target of a mysterious killer. Her girlfriends, boyfriends, and newspaper reporters also become the targets of this mysterious killer..."

"Spencer, we've all seen this movie." Dany reached out her hand to stop him from talking.

"And the local police also found another girl named Kathy killed at home a week ago, Kathy Brown. It's just that Kathy Brown didn't have a boyfriend, and the other girl who was killed in her house was her good friend Lauren, but the two of them were not disemboweled. So they have not attracted the attention of the police. They did not connect the two cases until this morning." Garcia continued to turn his back to the screen, showing the bloody photos one by one. "Before they were killed, they all kept getting multiple calls from the same prepaid mobile phone, just like in the movie."

"So, this is a parody of the serial killer in the movie?" Rossi asked. "Our victim has the same name as Casey in the movie, and his age and appearance are also very similar. Does he want to restore the plot in the movie in reality?"

"From the perspective of the scene, he is very fascinated by the original work. He basically restored the scene in the film. It's like obsessive-compulsive disorder. He handles every detail carefully." Reid continued his opinion.

Morgan frowned. "A movie buff? In L.A.? The press will flock to it, like in the movies."

"Facts, the media has already begun to name him." Garcia said weakly. "They called him—Ghost Killer. Like in the movie."

"But in fact, we didn't have any ghost masks at the scene of the murder." Black carefully checked all the documents.

"And we are not sure whether his next step is to continue to look for the girl named Casey as a target, or to target the media and the victim's friends like the second part of the movie."

"No matter what, he won't stop here. We have to catch him when there are more victims." Hodge finally concluded, "The plane is already waiting for us."

Almost all absurdity of conductarises from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble.——Samuel Johnson

------------------------

"Actually, in "Scream", what has been discussed is the gap between the violence in the movie and the reality. People will watch the violence in such a movie and worship this violence. We all know those famous serial killers. They all have their admirers, and they admire that kind of violence. When we look at the pain of others, we are actually the same as those who inflict pain on them. This is one of the aspects of the real society, and we have to admit Yes, we all have that cold-blooded and insensitive side in our hearts.

Inside each of us lives a cruel person, who is bloodthirsty, murderous, cold-blooded, ruthless, greedy, and twisted.It's just that we hide it very well, and never let others peek into its true colors. "

——The author speaks for himself

After the plane landed, Hodge assigned his team members suitable tasks as before. Reed and Dani went to the autopsy room, Morgan and JJ went to the scene, where there must be a large number of media now, and Black and Rossi will go to the autopsy room. Go with him to the police station and talk to the relatives of Kathy Brown and Kathy Lawrence.

This is going to be a tough case.

Morgan and JJ struggled through the human wall of reporters. Facing the microphones that were constantly stretched out and the sharp questions thrown at them, they maintained their calm state and did not show any emotional fluctuations because of these.After they crossed the police cordon, JJ turned and told the bloodthirsty beasts that they would hold a press conference to take their questions.

Then they gradually walked towards the building that was full of happiness and brilliance yesterday. Today's sunset brought only that kind of scarlet oppression to it, and the remaining blood color took away all the memories that were still warm.

JJ sighs and looks away from the blood-stained lawn, then pulls herself out of her emotions, puts on her pokerface, and does her job as a good profiler.

Kathy Lawrence's life is ordinary.An ordinary high school sophomore girl, the captain of the school cheerleader, super popular on campus, excellent grades, she wants to work in law like his father.

"There are not many signs of fighting in the house, and many of them should have been knocked down by Casey when he was running away. This shows that the murderer is much stronger than Casey, at least he is not afraid that Casey will escape from his palm." JJ looked around the mess in the room, the tables and chairs were messy.The glass on the back door has been completely broken, and debris is all over the floor.

"That's where he came in," said Morgan, who was coming in through the back door, also talking about his discovery in the backyard. "Casey's boyfriend Roger was on the rugby team and had to be strong to get him over. He was tied to a chair and killed."

"Just like the movie." JJ shrugged helplessly. "Kathy was also hung from a tree outside the door."

The two looked at each other, worried.

"Spencer, stand in front of me." Dany held the forensic report in one hand and directed Reed to stand there obediently in the morgue.

Dany suddenly threw her fist at his chin, and Reed jerked backwards, shifting his weight back, and he took a staggering step back.

"From the perspective of the boxing wound on Roger's jaw, the murderer should be between 180-183cm tall. I will make a simulation image later to show the process of his injury." Dani lowered her head and continued to look at her hands report, completely oblivious to what he had just done. "When will his poison test come out?

"It will take another two hours." The forensic lady who was giggling at the side quickly replied. "I extracted a kind of particle from the wound on their body, and I have already taken it to the laboratory for testing. It is estimated that the result will be released together with the poison test."

"Okay, after they come out, please send them to us as soon as possible, thank you!" Dany nodded and gave the forensic lady a warm smile, "Spencer, let's go."

Reed aggrieved and left with her. "Danny, what were you doing just now?"

"What?" Danny asked strangely.

"Why did you punch me just now?"

"Oh..." Dany finally understood what he was talking about, and explained to him with a smile. "You are the same height as the victim. I just simulated the angle of the wound, and I didn't really want to hit you."

"When you're with other people, do you hit them too?" Reid clearly didn't believe her lie.

"You happen to be the same height as the victim, and I like the more direct method." Dany continued her explanation.God knows!It was because she was dissatisfied with Hodge's arrangement that she vented her anger on Reed.

Does she need to be protected just like Reed?She was not allowed to go to the scene, but was arranged to continue this most harmless work.She is a queen who can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, not a weak princess who has to be protected by layers.She will talk to someone about this matter in the evening.

Hodge and the others talked to four pairs of the victim's parents one by one, but they couldn't find any useful information.

After all, the unknown suspect's pattern of selecting the victim this time is different from the past.

It is estimated that this matter has been publicized by the outside media, starting tomorrow morning, you see!The gate of the city hall must be blocked by citizens who want to change their names!

name.Just having the same name has also become a crime.

After that, they tried to sort out some useful clues from the "Scream" fan data that Garcia found.

Those were hundreds of millions of files. Although Garcia had already screened out the extreme ones, the number of them was still considerable.

Reed and Dani were the first to return to the police station. Reed joined Black and Rosie's army of documents, and Dani went to Hodge, who was communicating with the local sheriff.

"Hodge, I'm going to the scene of the first crime." Dani got straight to the point. At work, she called him Hodge just like everyone else.

Hodge just stared into her eyes without saying a word.

"I know you are afraid that Foye will leave a shadow on me, but I have handled many cases and been on many scenes, and I have experienced a lot of these." Dany knew that Hodge had always been afraid that she would still be affected by that. However, she has experienced Yupu's world for ten years, and that feeling has already faded from her heart.

Hodge still looked worried, "I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

"Alan, I am a profiler. I am sure I am qualified for this job and I chose to join BAU." Dany told him firmly, "As the leader of the group, you also confirmed this before letting me join. Yes, no? So trust me."

"Okay, I'll be with you, let's go to the location of the first crime." Hodge finally gave up his personal feelings.He should trust Dany instead of selfishly trying to keep her under his umbrella.

They drove to the murder scene at another location.
