two people's agreement

"We all know that the first scene is the most important. Unknown suspects always leave some gaps when they commit crimes for the first time." Dani stood on the side of the road, staring at the white-walled house with a complicated expression.

Hodge stood quietly beside her, offering her his own support.

After a long time, Dani took a deep breath, summoned up her greatest courage and pulled Hodge forward.

"You made me weak, Ellen." Dany said to Hodge, "I want to rely on you for everything, so I have to be stronger so that you can also rely on me, just like the promise we made."

"I believe in you." Hodge said simply.

I believe you can do it.He knew Dany would understand.

"I believe it too." Dany's eyes shone with a brilliance that belonged only to her. "let us start?"

Hodge nodded, he opened the file in his hand, and began to carefully compare the scene and the clues in the photos.

I hope that the flaws left unintentionally by the suspect can be uncovered.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Everyone in the Los Angeles Police Department and BAU sat in the office, surrounding the case board covered with photos and clues, summarizing the clues they could get now.

"We asked the parents of the four victims. Casey Brown's parents went to the party that night, and Lauren's parents were also there." Black said their findings and shared the information with everyone.

"Kathy Lawrence, her mother died young and her father Bill was the only ones at home. Bill went to the next city to attend a trial of a case the day before yesterday. When he got home in the morning, he saw his daughter..."

"And Kathy Lawrence's boyfriend was supposed to go to the fraternity party that night, but he didn't show up." Rossi continued Blake's description.

"Judging from the traces at the scene, the unknown suspect is very calm, his behavior is orderly, and he completely copied the picture on the movie. He is also very strong physically, and it is not easy to subdue Roger without the help of drugs." Morgan Talking about what he and JJ learned from the scene.

"Well, the wounds on Casey and Roger can also show this, Garcia." Dani continued at the end of his words, and she asked Garcia to restore the process of her case and transfer it to the tablet in their hands.

This is what Dani is good at - reduction.

Through the shape of all the wounds on the victim, the process of the murder is truly restored.

The unknown suspect apparently spent more time with Casey.

In the middle of the journey, Hodge kept paying attention to the expression on Dani's face, because the scene was similar to her fight with Foye in the hut, but he found that there was a sense of sympathy in her eyes, which made her feel more familiar with the victim's experience. The average person has more powerful empathy.

"The body shape data of the unknown suspect is basically available, and the forensic doctor has also extracted a kind of particle from the wound, and they are testing it." Dani continued.

"Garcia, how is the victim's information?" Hodge asked Garcia on the other end of the phone.

"My least favorite word, none. Our victims don't have any unusual features, they're just normal high school girls, except for the name Kathy." Garcia grumbled. "There is nothing unusual about the people around her."

"Babygirl, is there anything out of the ordinary among those movie fanatics?" Morgan asked, noting that in the past some unknown suspects would leave messages to demonstrate his control, or to make himself more famous.

"Oh! You definitely don't want to know how many fans there are of a horror movie that has been popular all over the world since 1996! Among them, there are countless extremes and unhealthy mentalities." Garcia buried his head in those horror movies. It has been a long time in the speech.

"You can find him," Morgan encouraged her.

Dani kept looking down to compare the two murder scenes.

"I seem to have found something?" Dany said uncertainly.

Everyone focused their eyes on her, "What did you find?"

"Usually our unknown suspects will grow up in the process of committing crimes one after another, and they will become proficient after accumulating a certain amount of experience." Dani put the photos of the two murder scenes side by side. "But our unknown suspect is committing a second crime, directly advancing from a rookie to a master."

Dani didn't go to the second scene. The first scene she went with Hodge was messy, and even the scars left by the resistance could be found on the victim's body.

And after a month, the unknown suspect can directly subdue a man of Roger's physique.

Dani has always had this feeling. Although the murderer's physical characteristics are basically the same from the scene simulation process, but intuitively, Dani feels that they are not alone.

"If he killed people according to the order of death in the movie, Maureen, the heroine's mother in the movie, should be the first victim." Reed also raised his own doubts. "Garcia, has a woman named Maureen been murdered?"

Garcia, who has been on the other end of the phone, quickly entered the local police system to find out the case. "I found it!"

Within a few tens of seconds, Garcia's voice came. "Maureen Cooper and Maureen Evans were killed last month and were raped before their deaths."

"Just like Sidney's mother," Rosie said.

"That means we have more than one suspect. One is a novice who is hesitant to attack, and the other is mature and cruel." Black looked at the case information passed by Garcia on the tablet and found that what Dani said was true. Finally got some progress.

"In the first two films and their fourth, The Ghost Face ended up being more than one person, and he was played by two people to guarantee his alibi." Reed played his specialty.

"Reed, who is the next victim?" Hodge had just walked in and had already seen their progress.

"Principal Seabury," Reed said.

"Okay, let's sort out the information we have now. We need to release the preliminary profile to the police as soon as possible, so that they can pay close attention to the people with the same name as in the movie." Hodge knew that they needed to do it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Garcia pays close attention to whether there is a victim with the same name as the victim in the movie, searches for suspected cases across the country, and informs us as soon as he gets news."

They released a preliminary profile of the suspect to the local police that day.

Next, Hodge sent Rosie and Black to the series director to see if there were any clues that might help.

Morgan and JJ went to communicate with the media, trying not to let them broadcast the clues that would cause panic among the citizens.

The rest of the people and Hodge studied the existing clues at the police station to see if they could find some useful evidence.

Seventy-two hours after the murder, on the third morning, a local news reporter received a ghost mask and a black robe. After inspection by the forensic personnel, the blood on the black robe belonged to Kathy Lawrence.

The unknown suspect has started contacting the media to satisfy his desire for performance.

"The media has already spread this matter, and it seems that they will know about the name soon." JJ was worried that this would become a nationwide panic.

Nobody wants to be killed.

"We can only seek help from above. I will contact them to adjust the level of this matter to the highest level and force the media not to report on the victim's name." Hodge will use his relationship. "We also need to expedite our investigation."

Hodge looked at the members who were thinking hard in the office.

"We don't know if there is a connection between these two unknown suspects, but now they will find a way to contact each other," Dani said. "Obviously this NC-17 is now in a strong position."

"NC-17?" Black laughed when Dani called the unknown suspect.

"Isn't it? According to the movie classification system, the scene where Casey Brown was killed is also a murder, but compared with Casey Lawrence, the bloody level is equivalent to PG-13 level, and the latter scene is NC-17 level "Dani said her own opinion, this habit of addressing was developed by Danni in the law firm, it is conducive to the relief of the office atmosphere, but it is limited to internal company meetings.But for BAU this is a very bad habit, and Hodge keeps asking Dani to get rid of it.

Her joke opened another door for everyone in BAU.

"Are they making their own movie? Like the fourth one?" Reed said, which was what everyone was thinking at the moment.

"One for PG-13 and one for NC-17," Rossi muttered. "Looks like we're looking for a couple of movie club brothers."

"Besides, NC-17 has already moved ahead, and PG-13 will also start to act." JJ sighed.

Sure enough, after the media broadcasted the story of the ghost-masked bloody coat, they received the bloody coat and mask with Casey Brown's blood on them.

At the same time, the police also received news that a middle-aged man named Hebry had been killed.

Because Hodge applied for the mandatory secrecy system, the media only reported a middle-aged male victim, and did not mention his name.

Because Hodge made a statement to them, once the name is broadcast, they will accuse the relevant media or individuals of undermining national security.

That charge amounted to treason.

A few hours later, news of the murder of another Seabry and Tatum came together. In order to catch up, NC-17 killed two victims in one night.

Los Angeles became the scene of a killing contest between them.

Dany and Morgan once again re-walked all the scenes in the order of the murderer. They went to the murder scene of the NC-17 murderer, and Reed and Blake went to the PG-13 scene.

JJ stayed to deal with the media, Rossi went to the director of the film, Wes Craven, and Hodge stayed at the police station to share all the information.
