[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

a few days later.

Warm and humid New Orleans.

Located in the Fountain Square in the middle of several tall office buildings, there are a few small food cart stalls scattered here and there.Among them, the most crowded one is a very warm hot dog stand arranged by a car stand.Orange and white awnings, a transparent counter on one side stands a small blackboard with a strong British style, on which is written today's special food in cute and slightly cartoony fonts, and on the other side there are a few purple flowers and plants in a vase, standing in the wind. swaying in.

Michelle handed over the hot dog, sent away the last customer waiting in line with a smile on her face, gently brushed the scattered strands of hair behind her ears, and glanced at the quartz clock hanging in the car, half of the lunch break for white-collar workers had passed, It seems that today is almost the same performance.With a sigh of relief, he looked up at the warm sun, ready to pack up and get some lunch.

It has been two years since I came to this world. From being helpless at the beginning to finally realizing that there is no such character as Mu Lin, I broke down and cried, and then slowly adapted to this world and started to survive in bumps. It seems that a long time has passed. long time.Yes, to survive, not to live.In the previous life, as a person whose mother tongue is not English, it was a kind of panic and bewilderment to wake up and find yourself in the United States.But fortunately, at least I didn't travel to the apocalypse or ancient times. Michelle couldn't help but encourage herself like this.But this body itself does not seem to have received any higher education. Even Mu Lin, who has an academic background and is now a scumbag in her language, has no way to find a job. She can only start as the lowest-level dish washer and handyman.

Michelle swallowed the food in her mouth and squinted at the office building not far away. This kind of life is too far away from her.The hardships of life at the bottom of the two years seemed extremely difficult, but it was extremely easy.Under the tremendous pressure of survival, the language barrier is no longer a problem, and now I can basically communicate with people normally.I was able to save money to buy a second-hand car stall, so that I could live enough to feed myself, and there was a small but warm enough apartment waiting for me at night.Actually, life is not that difficult, is it?

Michelle, who was immersed in her own thoughts, did not realize that the sunlight above her head had been replaced by a large shadow, until the other party reminded helplessly: "Excuse me, Miss Evans? Michelle Evans?" Michelle, who was suddenly drawn back by the voice, raised her head and went Putting on a smile, she said, "Hello, sir, what do I need..." Before the words fell, Michelle's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, how could it be him?

The young FBI agent who professionally confirmed the identity of the other party touched his nose helplessly, looked at the brown-haired woman who seemed to be stunned by seeing the top ten miracles in prehistoric times, "Hey, beauty, you are back to your senses!" Even after listening to This sentence, Michelle is still not stunned, she stared at the other party's charming chocolate complexion, bright and sexy bald head, and there was a villain in her heart who kept beating the ground: "Oh my God!! Under the sky How can there be such a foreigner who looks like Man! Or are foreigners face-blind to me~" Thinking of this, Michelle tried hard to maintain her composure, "Do you need something, sir? Our category a lot of…"

"No, thank you." The handsome chocolate boy waved the ID in his hand helplessly again, "I'm Derek Man, an FBI agent, and I belong to Quantico BAU. I'm here to ask some questions." He said casually Keep an eye out for this unusual woman.

"What!!" Michelle suppressed the scream that was about to blurt out. Could it be that she was dreaming, or is this really CM's world?Noticing that her strange reaction had attracted the attention of the other party, Michelle tried her best to suppress all the shocks in her heart, waved away those wandering thoughts, and answered calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Look at the photos of these women, see if you know or have seen them before." Man lined up three portraits of women on the counter, all of them were brown-haired young women with bright smiles.

Michelle took a closer look at the women in the photo, "They are all very beautiful women, but I don't know them. Hmm...but they look familiar no matter what. Could it be that office workers nearby bought my hot dogs... Ah! "Michelle muttered in a low voice, staring at the woman in the photo, suddenly the light flashed, and she was shocked, "They all look like me!" A CM character appeared, and he was involved!Do you want to be so miserable...

Man carefully looked at the woman in front of him who was wandering again. Could it be that this woman is really related to the case?Found that at the scene... They all thought she was the target of the unknown suspect. Could it be that she was actually an insider? "These brown-haired women are all dead. We found some clues at the scene, and these evidences all point to you..." Looking at Michelle who was even more puzzled after hearing this probing sentence, Man slowly dispelled the suspicion that had just risen in his heart, and continued Said, "These victims are 22-26 year old brown-haired, black-eyed young women, single, which is consistent with your situation. But we did not find you because of this, but because at each crime scene we Found this."

Michelle took the photo that Man handed over again, her eyes widened suddenly, "This..."

"Yes, this is the advertising flyer in your store, ME hot dog, my hot dog. And we also found the petals of the jacaranda on the scene, with your fingerprints on it, which led us to find you."

"What???!!!" Michelle really panicked this time, "I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a murderer, I, I, I don't know what's going on..."

"Hey~ hey~, take it easy, girl," Man tried to stabilize the restless woman in front of him, "we roughly profiled the murderer as a man, and didn't say you were a suspect, but these things related to you appeared in the The scene means that the murderer has at least some contact with you, I need you to calm down, and slowly recall whether there are people with such characteristics around you..."
