tell me what to do, Dr. Reid

After returning to Florida with her father, Fiona temporarily lived in his apartment.

Miami is extremely hot this season.

Fiona doesn't like running the air conditioner 24 hours a day.As long as you open the window, a wave of heat mingled with the smell of sea salt will hit you.But Fiona didn't hate it, the smell of the ocean made her feel refreshed, so she forgot about the heat.

The windows look out to the coast from between the other two apartments. Fiona likes the scenery here.

It's a weekday, but that doesn't stop people in Miami from leaving the indoors and heading to the open-air restaurants on the street or the soft sandy beaches.

Obviously, no one can resist the allure of Miami's bright sunshine, and neither can Fiona.On the day she arrived in Miami, she couldn't help but went for a walk on the beach.

Sexy men and women can be seen everywhere on the beach.This is the most beautiful scenery in Miami except for the blue sky, blue sea and palm trees.Of course, there is no shortage of couples who appear in pairs.

Love, love, love... Fiona sighed secretly, such a thing is completely a luxury for her now.Her life is almost completely blank, and now she has no idea what to do in the future.

But this does not prevent her from lying on a bench on the beach, admiring those fit and handsome opposite sexes wearing only a pair of swimming trunks through sunglasses.Miami men have never been stingy about showing off their bodies.

It would be perfect to drink a cocktail with ice at this time!

But she hadn't completely forgotten the incident that happened not so long ago.

There is a computer in Fiona's father's study.After turning on the computer, Fiona couldn't help searching for the murder in Los Angeles. The Internet was full of news about it, but there was no report about herself. No one seemed to know that there was actually a survivor.

Maybe the police blocked the news, Fiona guessed secretly.

Later, her father Julian told her that they failed to catch the killer.He disappeared suddenly, and no one knew what happened.

"Maybe he got scared and hid," Julian said.

Fiona disagrees with his father's reasoning.She vaguely felt that the guy would not stop easily, but she couldn't give a reason.

In addition, she also spent an afternoon reading through the scattered diary, and finally had a vague understanding of her previous life.

This feeling is very strange - she is reading her own diary, but she feels like she is reading a completely fictional novel.

She knew that she had actually been admitted to law school at the University of California successfully, but was expelled in her third year because of poor grades.It can be seen from the diary that Fionamars was actually a very smart girl, but unfortunately she did not cherish her talent.

There are very few diaries during college, so Fiona can only tell from those few words that during that time, Fiona began to become dissolute, began to hate all rules and regulations, was often absent from class, and even tried drugs.After dropping out of school, Fiona began to work for a living, but she rarely worked in one place for more than half a year.She started getting more depraved.She hangs out in bars, flirting with strange men when in reality she only sees the wallets in their pockets.

And pre-university fionamars haven't always been nice girls.

After her mother died in a car accident, her diary style began to change significantly.She becomes cynical, emotionally suspicious, and indifferent to everything around her.Not wanting to disappoint her father, she bounced back in her senior year of high school and barely got into law school at the University of California.

But judging from her later description, she began to feel angry and disappointed with Julian for some reason.And the fuse of all this seems to be Julian's new girlfriend.

Since Julian started dating that woman, her relationship with her father has gradually deteriorated, and the reasons for this are very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Julian doesn't like her life situation and wants her to get back on track, but she doesn't want to listen to him at all.

So Julian would often say that maybe this accident is a good turning point, whether it is for their already shaky father-daughter relationship or for Fiona's dilapidated life. Fiona was even a little skeptical, but in fact Julian didn't really want her to recover her memory.

But the memory still came back.

But those memories were completely different from what she expected.

Fiona's memory began to recover from the second night after coming to Miami.

First she had a nightmare.In the dream, she was standing on a beach, surrounded by darkness.

She thought she was on the beach in Miami, but soon the surrounding scene became clear.Across the sparkling water, she could see the brightly lit city on the opposite side.

She realized that it was not the sea but a river.

Then, she heard someone yelling.

"Found it! Here she is!"

She followed the sound and saw a beam of light shining on the dark river surface, it was the light from a flashlight.A man with a flashlight tugged at something in the water.

"Emily, come over here!" The man turned around and waved at her.She couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, but a name emerged in her subconscious mind, jeffmartin.

So she walked over quickly and walked towards the man.

"...just like that son of a bitch said," said the man, with a particularly strong British accent, "...he literally left her body here."

Fiona lowered her head.

She immediately let out a silent scream.

——It was a woman's face swollen and whitish from the water.

Then she woke up from the dream in an instant.

After that dream, some other memories came back intermittently.

Fiona remembered a name.

—emilytsui.

This is her name.Or rather, her name before she was a fionamars.

She also vaguely remembered that she had once lived in England.

...Yes, the river in the dream is the Thames.She and her partner, jeff martin, are both scotland yard constables.

She then managed to do an online search for both names, only to find that they were both dead.Both were killed in a bombing in Richmond.

Fiona doesn't believe in reincarnation, but what she found made her start to shake her belief.

Did the fionamars inherit emilytsui's memory, or was emilytsui's soul reborn in fiona's body?

——Perhaps from a certain point of view, there is no difference between the two.

But one thing Fiona can be sure of is that she is no longer Emilytsui.Even if she had the memories of the young woman, she was only a fionamars now.

She gradually retrieved more memory fragments.And the only purpose of those memories is to let her understand what she should do next.

The next day, when she told Julian that she was going to apply for the police academy, Julian was so surprised that he sprayed pepper into his nose.He was coughing tearfully, staring at her across the dining table with red eye circles.

"Apply to the police academy? Why?" His voice was terribly hoarse.

"To be a policeman, of course." Fiona smiled and handed him the napkin.

"That's not what I wanted to ask." Julian frowned.

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm not whimsical." Fiona said, "I've thought about it for a long time, and this is the only thing I want to do right now."

"You've become different." Julian said suddenly when the dinner was about to end.

Fiona blinked and smiled, "Good or bad?"

Julian didn't answer, he just smiled.

"Tomorrow is your birthday." Fiona said while helping to pack the stack of meals, "I was thinking, invite Jill to come over for dinner."

- Jill is Julian's girlfriend.

Julian looked stunned and stammered slightly, "Are you sure? I mean, would you like this?"

"Yeah." Fiona smiled. "I haven't seen her in a long time, haven't I? Hope she doesn't hate me too much."

"Of course she won't." Julian was silent for a while, watching Fiona put the last plate into the sink, "...Thank you."

Fiona smiled at him.

He's actually a good father, if a little clumsy at times.

"Watch a movie together? I just bought new discs," she suggested.

"Good idea." Julian raised an eyebrow and smiled.

In Atlanta, more than 1000 kilometers away from them, the bau team was deadlocked.They released the profile and did everything they could, but the unknown suspect suddenly disappeared at this juncture.They've been in Atlanta for a week so far.If the unknown suspects do stop committing crimes, they will likely be forced to temporarily drop the case.

"It's hard for a serial killer to stop killing on his own." Man, a member of the team, said with a frown.His brown skin and facial features suggest he is of African descent.In fact, he is very handsome, strong and tall, and many female agents in the FBI regard him as an object of fantasy.

"Yes, especially this kind of brutal murderer with sexual sadism." Team leader Hotch said, "They may have a incubation period, but they will never stop killing permanently."

"The incubation period may be very long. The btk killer (Note 1) once fell silent for nine years before committing crimes again, and then stopped killing again. Eighteen years later, he finally couldn't bear to expose himself to the media." Reid Immediately said that he was always half a beat faster than others in extracting information from his head.

"But that doesn't fit the profile of this time," Man said. "This time the unknown suspect won't stop committing crimes. He can't control himself."

"Maybe something happened to him." Reid guessed.

"It's very possible, but we can't fully count on that," Man said.

Hotch pushed the file to the center of the table, "So we must have missed something. Now we need to find out why he suddenly stopped killing as soon as possible."

"He let go of fionamars, the penultimate victim. We have never been able to determine why he let her go," Man said.

"If it wasn't for the DNA match, I would suspect that these are two different cases." Jennifer sighed, "So his sudden stop of killing may have something to do with Fiona?"

"Look at our last victim. The modus operandi hasn't changed at all, it's the same as before, he killed her after 48 hours in captivity," Man said. What a change."

"There was no significant difference between Fiona and the other victims," ​​Reid added.Suddenly, he opened his eyes slightly, "Maybe he doesn't know that Fiona is still alive?"

He opened the file suddenly, and suddenly sped up his speech, "Look here, the doctor said that Fiona had obvious strangulation on her neck, and those scars were enough to cause her to suffocate for a short time." He looked up at everyone, "He may not be He didn't let Fiona go on purpose. He thought she was dead."

"He wouldn't be so careless." Man said with a frown.

"Unless something messes up his plans and he has to rush to dispose of the body," Jennifer said. "The question is, what will he do if he finds out that Fiona is actually alive? Although the media did not report this matter , but it is inevitable that there will be no leaks from the hospital—"

Everyone had the same thing in mind.

"Call Fiona's father." Hotch said decisively.

Reid called Julian's cell phone, but it was forwarded to voicemail.

"I can't get through." He looked at the others anxiously.

"I'll contact the local police station immediately." Jennifer stood up abruptly and said worriedly.
