The girl who opened the door glanced at Fiona.

"We're not perverts, just hobbies and a little... different," she said, closing the door behind her.

Fiona immediately understood that this was the so-called Blood Drinker's Club.

"How many people are there?" Fiona asked.

"There are only four or five people who come here regularly," the girl said. "Most of them don't come here very often. They are not bloodthirsty like us. There are also some people who are purely curious. Come again."

Darwin pushed the door open and glanced inside through the crack.He turned his head and asked seriously: "You know that doing this may contagious diseases, right?"

"We never accept blood from unknown sources." The girl said, "You must provide a health certificate to join us."

"That kind of proof is easy to forge," Darwin said.

The girl looked at Darwin and said with a smile, "Oh handsome guy, don't worry about us, we know how to protect ourselves."

"How old are you?" Fiona asked.

"." The girl replied immediately.

Fiona thinks she must have misrepresented her age.The girl definitely looks no older than 17.

"What's your name?" Darwin asked.

"alice." The girl folded her arms, "alice cullen."

Fiona raised her eyebrows, "Tell me your real name."

The girl licked the metal ring on her lips and smacked her tongue: "Okay." She hesitated before answering ""...kelsey, kelseybuck. "

Fiona took note of the name.

"Did you see the news," Fiona said, "About the murder that happened around here. Did you notice anything unusual on the 28th?"

"Abnormal?" Kelsey raised her eyebrows. "It's abnormal here every day. You've seen it too."

"By the way, do you have a membership list or something?" Darwin asked.

Kelsey hesitated.

"That's a confidential list," she said. "We have a membership confidentiality agreement."

"Give me the list, Kelsey. Or I'll call your parents," Fiona said quietly.

Kelsey looked intimidated.Her eyes flickered, and she licked and fiddled with the ring on her lips anxiously, "Okay, okay."

She pouted unhappily, and found a crumpled piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Fiona.The paper was stained with blood, whether it was spilled by accident or done on purpose.

"But I can assure you that you won't find anything useful in the list." Kelsey folded her arms and said, "As I said, we never accept blood from unknown sources. So it's impossible to just kill someone to get blood. "

Darwin told Kelsey the profile given by Bau, but Kelsey was very sure that there was no such person among them.

"As you can see, I don't have many people who come here often. I know their details very well." Kelsey said, "We especially abide by the law and don't even touch marijuana. There can be no murderers among us. Although we Love blood, but not corpses."

"How long have you been like this?" Fiona asked.

Kelsey recalled, "It probably started when I was five years old, I don't really remember. At that time, I tasted the taste of blood for the first time, and found that I really liked that taste." She paused and laughed a little mockingly Said: "You must not understand, I understand. My adoptive parents have never understood me, they thought I watched too many vampire movies."

At this time, a boy poked his head out from the door and said that he needed some disinfectant cotton.

"I'll come," Kelsey said.

"She must know something." Darwin whispered to Fiona as Kelsey turned away.

"I agree, there must be some connection here." Fiona murmured softly, "The place where the homicide happened is only a few blocks away from their club. I don't think it's a coincidence."

"Maybe he wanted to join them, but they refused." Darwin analyzed.

"It's possible. Maybe he murdered to attract the attention of those people," Fiona said.

After some discussion, they decided to take Kelsey back to the police station for questioning slowly.

Kelsey was reluctant, but she was afraid that Fiona would really call her adoptive parents, so she obediently got into the police car.

After returning to the police station, Fiona and Darwin told the members of the bau what they had discovered—in fact, they simply communicated with Reid who stayed in the conference room.

Reid is studying the map.He was so good at geographic profiling that they kept him at the station to work on the topographical relationship between the recent burglary and the murder.

After listening to Darwin's narration, Reid looked at Fiona with interest, "How do you know that the girl didn't say her real name? Did you see that she was lying?"

"Of course not." Fiona said, "The reason is very simple, because she said her name is Cullen (the surname of the vampire family, from "Twilight")."

"What's cullen?" Reid asked in bewilderment.

"Uh, nothing." Fiona resisted the urge to laugh, "What should we do next? Shall we check everyone on the list one by one?"

"I don't think this list is going to be useful," Reid said. "The unknown suspect is not like them. He is very out of character. I guess they would not welcome such a weird guy to join them. And the violent way he took blood shows that he He rarely gets enough satisfaction, so he must not have joined the Blood Drinker Club."

Later, elle and fiona, who were in charge of the inquiry, learned something important from the girl named kelsey.

A month ago, there had been a scruffy, sallow, junkie-looking guy walking around their house.

"Kevin went out and yelled at him and told him to go away," Kelsey recalls, before turning around and running away.

"Did he go back after that?" Fiona asked.

"He came once more," Kelsey said. "He knocked on the door. I didn't show him because he looked too suspicious. I told him not to come again, or I would call the police. After hitting there He never showed up again."

"Do you remember what he looked like?" Elle asked.

"Basically," Kelsey said.

Later, they called in a sketch expert and drew a portrait of the unknown suspect according to Kelsey's description.

The left and right eyes of the man in the portrait are not symmetrical, and the corner of the right eye is obviously drooping.This is an important characteristic of him and will be very helpful in solving cases.

They posted the portrait on TV, but for a while no one called to say they knew the guy in the picture—the few phone calls they made were pure hoaxes, and it turned out they didn't know the guy at all.

"Do these people have nothing else to do?" A female detective angrily hung up the phone, "It's a waste of time."

She is also a member of the eden group by the name sarahhopkins.She only joined eden's group last year.She was a tall beauty with her red hair tied high back.

"They just find it particularly rewarding to flirt with authority figures," Fiona points out.

"But then again." Sarah said, turning the ballpoint pen in her hand, "What do you think of him?"

"Who?"

"The one standing next to the water cooler."

Fiona looked in the direction of the drinking fountain. Reid was standing there talking to darwin.

"He's very cute, isn't he?" Sarah said.

"Indeed." Fiona agreed.

At this time, Reid turned his head to look this way as if he had sensed something. Fiona's and his eyes collided hastily in the air.

Fiona swears she definitely saw a small smile on Reid's face.

Unfortunately, Reid quickly turned around.

"It's a pity that members of the group are not allowed to fall in love." Sarah sighed.

"What?" Fiona pulled her thoughts back from Reid's smile, "Who exactly are you referring to?"

"Of course it's Darwin." Sarah said in surprise, "Who do you think I'm talking about?"

Hearing Sarah's words, Fiona felt relieved for no reason.

"It's nothing. Forget it." She said lightly.

They spent one afternoon and one night conducting random investigations and visits to the residents in the block, but they found nothing for the time being except for the portrait.

They decided to let everyone go back to rest first, because everyone was exhausted.

Darwin came over suddenly and asked Fiona if she needed to take her home.

"Okay." Fiona nodded.Her previous car was still in Richmond, so she had planned to take the subway back to her apartment.

They walk to the elevator.

In the previous second, Reid had just walked into the elevator.He had been looking down at a file in his hand, so he didn't notice that Fiona and Darwin were walking over.

"Wait," Fiona called.

Darwin managed to prevent the elevator doors from closing.

Fiona followed him into the elevator.

The moment he saw them, Reid opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"Hey." Fiona greeted Reid, "It's been a long day, hasn't it?"

"Indeed." Reid replied, he was silent for a while, "By the way, how is your wound?"

"It's already done."

"That's good."

"You guys knew each other before?" Darwin asked with interest.

"Oh, we've had a few cases," Fiona replied.

"How many cases?" Darwin frowned, "How many serial murders have you encountered?"

Fiona shrugged helplessly.

"By the way, are you hungry? Let's have some supper together?" Darwin said.

Fiona hesitated.She is a little sleepy, and now she wants to go home and take a hot bath.

"Actually, I'm a little hungry." Reid suddenly whispered.

Fiona turned to look at him in surprise.

Reid was hugging the file folder in his arms, looking directly at Fiona with calm and undisguised eyes.It seems that what he just said was completely unintentional.
