tell me what to do, Dr. Reid

"What the hell are you talking about, daniel? Are you crazy?"

Daniel's Adam's apple rolled.

"Katewilcox," he said wearily, his voice languid and husky, "that girl fell to her death by herself falling down the hill. The two of us were with her when she died."

"You're lying!" Sam yelled, "I can't remember why."

"Because that incident hit you too hard." Daniel said, "You fainted from fright at the time, and I carried you back to the camp—"

"Wait." Sam interrupted Daniel, "I remember that I ran back to the camp by myself, are you trying to say that my memory is wrong?"

Daneil's eyes are calm and calm, he doesn't look nervous at all, he seems to feel that everything is under his control.

"No, you remember correctly," he said, "you did run back to camp at first, looking terrified like you've been hit by a ghost—and then you begged me to go back to the woods with you to find Kate."

Sam's eyes widened.His breathing became a little short.

"...Wait a minute," he said hoarsely, "and then we went back to the tree house, didn't we?"

Daniel shrugged, "It seems you remembered."

"No, no..." Sam murmured while holding his forehead, he suddenly slammed the table and cursed emotionally, "Damn it!"

"Sam." Fiona called his name, "Hey, Sam."

Sam raised his head with red eyes, and looked at Fiona blankly.

"It's okay, take your time." Fiona put her hand on the young man's shoulder and comforted her, "Think slowly, okay?"

Sam's mood suddenly stabilized a lot.

Panting, he rested his elbows on the table.He rested his forehead with both hands, and then gradually buried his head between his arms.

"I remembered." He suddenly said hoarsely, "We did go back."

"Yes." Daniel nodded, "You took me back to the tree house, remember?"

"...then I heard a faint groan." Sam murmured, "...it came from down the hillside. I walked over and saw Kate lying down there- oh, old My God." He suddenly choked up, as if he couldn't continue.

"You found Kate, but she was not dead at that time." Reid said softly, frowning.

"Yes, but she is not far from death." Daniel said blankly, "Her abdomen was pierced by a branch, her intestines were exposed, and her clothes were soaked in blood—"

When he talked about these terrible things, his expression was calm, and his tone was as smooth as when Reid recited the materials.

"Stop talking." Fiona stopped him.Because she saw that Sam's face was pale and looked like he was going to explode at any moment.

"Then what did you do?" Reid frowned, he found the crux of the problem, "They never found Kate's body."

"I didn't do anything." Daniel shrugged. "That's the problem. I didn't do anything to her. I just watched her and watched her die."

Fiona suddenly leaned forward, one hand resting on the table.She looked into Daniel's eyes with obvious disgust, "Did the scene of her death arouse your pleasure, huh? Afterwards, you recalled the process of that poor girl's death over and over again, right?"

Daniel did not answer Fiona's question.He only looked at his younger brother all the time, "You fainted from fright after Kate died. I carried you back to the camp, it was as simple as that."

"But what about Kate's body?" Reid asked, "She can't just disappear like this."

"How do I know." Daniel said lightly, with a particularly innocent expression, "Maybe he was eaten by a wild beast."

Fiona knew he was lying.She gritted her teeth and stared at him, but how could she make him tell the truth?

Reid suddenly said: "Do you want to know what I think?"

Everyone looked at him.

"I think you hid Kate's body," he said.

"Why would I do that?" Daneil sneered.

"Because you want to relive the moment of her death over and over again." Reid said, "Her death makes you suddenly understand that killing animals can no longer satisfy your animal desire... In your fantasy, you replay the scene of the girl's death over and over again. scene, and imagine that she was actually killed by you. And her body helps you fantasize."

The rising tone of his voice and the tense muscles on his face showed that he didn't like what he was analyzing right now.After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips slightly.

"But they didn't find Kate's body in the woods—where did you hide her?" Fiona asked coldly.But she knew it was impossible for this pervert to let go easily.

"...There is a cave." Sam said hoarsely, "Daniel and I found it, it's under the hillside not far from the tree house. It's very hidden, and the entrance can only be through a child."

"That's it." Fiona said, and quickly took out the phone.

Daniel didn't look surprised at all.He looked at Fiona's back calmly, "I wish you all good luck."

Later, they found the cave in a weedy hillside.

But they didn't find kate's body in the cave.

"By the way, do you remember when Daniel said he had an argument with Jimpee?" Fiona said to Reid, "Maybe that's why they had an argument—maybe Jim found the cave and found the dead body. If so, he was probably the one who moved Kate's body. But why didn't he call the police?"

"The police failed to find Kate ten years ago, maybe it made him lack trust in the police." Reid said, "The job he chose is far away from the city, which shows that he probably dislikes the government or the system."

"Then he probably wants to find out the truth on his own," Fiona said. "What would you do if it were you?"

"Of course I found the kids who were camping with Kate and looked for clues from them." Reid replied, "Then he found Daniel."

Fiona suddenly cursed, "shit! katewilcox's death was an accident, and jimpee's death was a completely unplanned accident. We have no new evidence to prove that bastard is a serial killer."

"But we have profiles." Reid said with a frown. "Think about the missing girls. He must have taken something from them as a souvenir. He likes to recall the murder process, which is the same as when he hid Kate. dead body, as if taking her peaked cap. He couldn't resist the temptation."

Fiona nodded slightly, "But Sarah said they couldn't find any clues from his female friends. He didn't send them any suspicious gifts. And they didn't find anything in his house."

"Wait," Reid's eyes suddenly lit up. "He hid Kate Wilcox's body—what if he's always done that? Maybe his souvenir is the victim's body."

"Then he needs a place to hide these corpses." Fiona said, "Anyway, that place is not his home."

Reid suddenly muttered something, "By the way, I remember one of those girls—Mikokawashima, she is Japanese-American. Her race doesn't meet his criteria for choosing victims."

"Then he was approaching her for something else," Fiona said.

"That's right." Reid nodded, "I remember she worked for a real estate rental company." He took out his phone and dialed a number as he spoke, "Garcia, help me check the properties under the name of a rental company. ’ He named the company.

"Oh, slow down, little tiger," Garcia murmured, "I'm still eating lunch. Tell me what you want to check?"

"Check the records of leases longer than five years to see if any of the leaseholders have false identities or criminal records."

"Understood," Garcia said, "I'll call you soon."

After about a quarter of an hour, Garcia called back.She found a house with a six-year lease, but the renter had a fake social security number and his rent was paid in cash.

After getting the address of the house, Darwin rushed there with a pair of people.They turned the house upside down and eventually found a decomposing body in a bathtub in the basement.The stench made the two police officers vomit.

"Damn it." Darwin cursed, "The corpse is too rotten to recognize."

"He doesn't want to be embalmed," Reid said on the phone, "because embalming corpses don't excite him."

He put down the phone and turned to be surprised to find Sam and Benson standing behind him, looking at him sullenly.

"So it's true?" Sam said hoarsely. "Is my brother really a murderer? And a serial killer?"

Fiona and Reid looked at each other quickly.

"Yes, I'm sorry," Fiona said.

"I don't understand." Sam shook his head and muttered, "Why would he do such a thing?"

"...he can't control himself," Reid replied.

"Did Kate's death make him like this?" Sam asked again.

"Not exactly, her death was just a trigger." Reid licked his lips and whispered, "——sooner or later he will come to this point."

"It's not your fault, Sam." Fiona added, "You can't stop this."

"No, it's my fault." Sam choked up, "...you don't understand. There are two girls who met him through me. If I found out earlier, maybe I could help them, or help daniel..." he said, and sat down against the wall in despair.

Fiona knew there was nothing she could do to really comfort the poor young man at the moment.

"He'll figure it out," Fiona whispered to Reid.

"Maybe. Hope so," Reid said softly.

On the way out of the prison, Fiona suddenly said, "I hate this case."

"Why?" Reid asked.

"I don't know." Fiona said while turning the steering wheel, "...Daniel is probably the person Sam trusts the most, because he is his only relative. But he let him down. I said before that he would figure it out Yeah, actually I'm lying - sambenson will never be the same. Even if he has figured it out on the surface, deep down he may never be able to really accept it."

Reid was silent for a moment, "Has anything like this happened to you before, Fiona?"

Fiona tightened her hands on the steering wheel, "What?"

"I mean... something like being cheated and betrayed by one's own relatives." Reid said gently and softly.

Fiona could feel Reid watching her quietly.Her heart suddenly constricted slightly.
