tell me what to do, Dr. Reid

They then contacted frankkeynes' parole officer and asked to speak to frankkeynes.

Reid and Fiona arrived at the Savannah police station that evening.

"I'm Rayattlee, the parole officer of Frank Keynes, nice to meet you." A tall police officer came over and said, "Frank is waiting for you in the room over there."

"Thank you, officer." Fiona smiled and shook his hand.

Attlee motioned them to follow him, "Do you think Keynes might have murdered a little girl?"

"We're not sure yet," Reid said. "We need to talk to him before we can make a preliminary conclusion."

"So you are that FBI?" Attlee looked at Reid, "I know a lot about your deeds. Tell me, what's it like to work at BAU?"

Reid frowned, hesitantly said: "...Well, it's hard to describe."

"I guess you must have seen a lot of perverted killers?" Attlee stopped in front of a door, "Although I am not a profiler, I can also see that Keynes does not have the guts to kill—although he Was a villain, but he couldn't kill."

"Thank you for your opinion, we will consider it." Fiona nodded slightly.

They opened the door and walked in.

frankkeynes is a thin young man with a stubble on his chin that makes him look older, and according to the information, he is only 25 years old.

He was leaning lazily in his chair, toying with a coin in one hand.He lifted it slightly, his tone as if he was the boss here.

"Are you guys from the Bureau of Investigation that Attlee said?" When he spoke, his voice was dull and hoarse, as if there was something stuck in his throat, "Why do you want to see me?"

Reid and Fiona sat down in front of them.

"We want to talk to you about what happened ten years ago at a campground in suburban Atlanta," Reid said.

Fiona took out a photo of the missing girl, Kate Wilcox, and pushed it in front of Keynes, "Do you remember this girl?"

Keynes didn't take the photo right away, but stared at Fiona openly.He picked up the photo unhurriedly and glanced down casually.

"Oh, I remember this girl," he said, raising his eyebrows.

Keynes and Reid exchanged a surprised look.

"I remember she was missing, right?" Keynes put down the photo and sneered, "So you came here specifically to ask me about this girl?"

"Yes." Fiona said coldly.

"Wait, she has been missing for ten years." Keynes crossed his arms and smiled contemptuously, "Are you still looking for her? According to me, give up, she must have died long ago, rotted into a pile Bones."

Fiona was irritated by the sarcastic tone he used when talking about the girl, and the crime she hated most in life was hurting children and sex, and this man in front of him had a high probability of having both.

"We don't have time to talk nonsense with you here." She spoke aggressively. "We know what you did. Tell us, what did you do to katewilcox?"

Reid looked a little surprised, and he glanced at her quickly.

"What did I do?" Keynes sneered, "You think I was responsible for that girl's disappearance? I didn't even say a few words to her."

"No." Fiona said stiffly, "We think you killed her."

Keynes froze for a moment, and he let out a piercing laugh, "What?"

"If you haven't said a few words to her, how did you recognize her from the photo at a glance?" Fiona stared at him firmly.

"I have a good memory." Keynes spread his hands, pretending to be innocent, "Isn't that okay, baby?"

"Come on, we all know you're lying." Fiona tiptoed impatiently.

Keynes curled his lips and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.He leaned forward suddenly, his eyes fixed on Fiona, and a wicked smile curled up on his lips.

"It kind of bites me." He said every word.

Fiona glared at him and wanted to kick him against the wall.

"Wait." Reid suddenly stretched out a finger to stop their conversation, and said softly, "Fiona, can I talk to you alone?"

Fiona looked at him in surprise.

"Okay," she mumbled, and followed Reid out of the room.

After confirming that Keynes could not hear their conversation, Reid licked his dry lips habitually, and looked down at Fiona, "What happened to you just now, Fiona? You're a little angry."

"I really hate that type of man." Fiona said impatiently, "I hate megalomaniacs."

Reid sighed softly.His expression was more helpless than annoyed.

Fiona suddenly realized that her performance was not up to standard, she swallowed, "Well, I was really a little excited just now. I'm sorry."

Reid tilted his head slightly, and Fiona explained with a serious expression: "In fantasy, he has a special desire for power, which is in contrast to his depravity in reality. In the rape case, he beat the victim and stripped the victim , and threw it in the field, indicating that he wants to have absolute control over women's body and spirit. And you just offended his imaginary controlling position, which aroused his strong resistance. So according to the In such a state, he would definitely not be willing to cooperate with us—not to mention that we have no conclusive evidence to prove that he is related to Kate's disappearance."

Fiona took a deep breath, "You're right. Okay, so what do we do?"

"He has a serious personality flaw, and there's no way to get words out of him in the normal way," Reid said. "We need to flatter him properly."

"Okay." Fiona shrugged helplessly, "Today you are the boss, and you can do whatever you say. Then tell me, what should I do later, Dr. Reid?"

"You don't need to do anything, just follow my instructions." Reid said.

"I'll adapt." Fiona promised.

Soon they were back in the interrogation room.

"Have you figured out how to deal with me?" Keynes sneered, "Don't waste your time, I don't know anything."

"Sorry, my partner got a little out of control just now." Reid cleared his throat and said.

"Out of control? This girl just wanted to force me to confess to murder." Keynes spread his hands, "Is this not slander?"

Fiona took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger that was about to explode, "I'm sorry, Mr. Keynes, it was just a means of interrogation. Actually, I didn't doubt what you meant." She smiled slightly, "You are so smart, you should understand my point mean."

Keynes stared at Fiona, and suddenly he snorted softly, "Okay. Then just pretend that nothing happened just now."

"But we want to know how much you remember about Kate Wilcox?" Reid said calmly, "Your words will be very helpful in solving the case."

"As I said, I don't remember her," Keynes said.

"It's okay." Reid said softly, "Just tell us what you remember."

Keynes looked at him thoughtfully, "What benefits can I get?"

"We'll ask your parole officer to loosen you up," Fiona said calmly. "We'll tell him you're very cooperative. Impressing your parole officer isn't such a bad thing, is it?"

Keynes stared at her for a moment, then suddenly said: "I haven't talked to that girl much. I just remember that she was very weird and didn't play with other children very much. Almost everyone was looking for her the day she disappeared." He Looking at them suspiciously, "Why are you suddenly interested in this case?"

Reid didn't directly answer his question.

"So tell me, how much do you remember about Sambenson and Daniel Benson?" he said.

"Benson brothers?" Keynes suddenly showed a vigilant expression, "I remember the two of them. What happened to them?"

"daniel benson was arrested for a murder," reid said.

"Murder? Who did he kill?" Keynes looked surprised.

Reid stared at him, as if he didn't want to miss any slight change of expression on his face, "It's the old camp warden, Jimpope."

"Old Jim is dead?" Keynes said in surprise. "Oh, that's why you're re-investigating that case?"

"Yes," Reid said, "tell us everything you remember about Brother Benson."

"The two of them are two little villains." Keynes said without hesitation, "My brother is better, he will only follow his brother's command. His brother especially likes to bully those weak children."

He sighed, and curled his mouth, "Well, I actually participated in his little schemes. I know I'm not a good person, but believe me, he's even more of a jerk."

"What did he do?" Reid asked.

"You never imagine," Keynes said, "that he set traps for small animals in the woods, disemboweled squirrels and birds, and once boiled a cat. Of course, he later Destroyed all that stuff, no one knew what he did - only me and two other boys knew what he did."

"Did he ever scare other kids with a knife?" Reid asked.

"What?" Keynes' expression was a little weird, "How do you know about the knife?"

"Sambenson said that he once saw a kid in the woods with a knife and a white cloth over his head." Fiona said, "Do you think that could be his brother Daniel?"

"I don't know," Keynes said immediately.

He is lying. Fiona could tell from the change in his tone and expression.

"Look at me," Reid leaned forward, staring into Keynes' eyes, "...that kid isn't Daniel, is he?"

Keynes didn't speak.He lowered his gaze, as if lost in memory.

"That's me," he said suddenly.

"You?" Fiona was surprised.

"Yes," said Keynes, loudly, in a relaxed tone, "come on, I was just a kid back then. I found a tree house in the woods and I hid in it, jumping out every now and then to frighten passing kids .”

"So you saw Sambenson and Kate Wilcox that day, didn't you?" Reid asked, frowning.

"Yeah." Keynes shrugged, "I saw them walking into the woods from a distance, and I climbed down from the tree house. The kid Sam was scared by me, screamed, turned and ran away, I hope he didn't pee at that time pants. Kate got caught and she kept screaming."

"What happened after that?" Fiona asked.

"Kate broke free and I turned and ran," Keynes said, "and then I went back to camp."

"You left her alone in the woods and went back like that?" Fiona frowned.

"Of course, what else can I do? It was already dark at that time, and she ran away without a trace." Keynes shrugged innocently, "It can only be blamed on her own cowardice."

"But she disappeared the next day." Fiona finally couldn't hold back, and said reproachfully, "You were probably the last person to see her, why didn't you report it?"

"And let my dad beat me up again?" Keynes smiled sarcastically, "Don't be stupid, I was a kid back then, how could I expect so much."

Reid stared at him for a while, then said suddenly, "Enough."

After he finished speaking, he stood up from the chair.He bowed his head and gave Fiona a slight nod, and said softly, "Let's go out and talk first."

"Hey, don't forget what you promised me just now!" Keynes shouted at their backs.

But Fiona deliberately pretended not to hear what he said.

After leaving the room, Fiona asked, "Do you believe what he just said?"

"He doesn't look like he's lying," Reid said. "What do you think?"

"I also don't think he lied." Fiona frowned. "But if he really didn't lie—I think we're probably back to square one. We still haven't been able to figure out how Kate disappeared."

"not exactly back to square one," reid said, "do you remember what keynes said about daniel?"

"Those who said he abused small animals?"

"Yes. Keynes is indeed a psychopath, but Daniel Benson's situation is much more serious." Reid frowned and said, "Daniel's animal cruelty shows that he has very serious psychological deformities and violent tendencies."

"I've heard of the three elements of maald, right?" Fiona said. "Arson, bedwetting, and animal cruelty. I remember a lot of serial killers experimenting on small animals before moving on to humans."

"Yes, that's right." Reid nodded, "If his information is true, he is a bit too normal. Usually, people who have experienced animal cruelty in childhood can't be as peaceful as him when they grow up—— They're often very violent and they can't control themselves."

He paused, licked his lips quickly, and his tone rose slightly because of excitement, "I think he may have had a way to vent his killing desire. You see, he confessed to murder almost immediately, which is either Out of remorse, or out of wanting to protect someone—”

"—or to cover up a more serious crime," Fiona continued.

Reid nodded slightly.

He frowned slightly, and looked at Fiona in confusion, "I think... maybe we have discovered a potential or already formed serial killer."

The author has something to say: this case will be over soon.
