[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

"Hi, I'm FBI Special Agent Aaron Hoter", Quantico BAU.I heard that you were the first to discover the scene, and I would like to talk to you about the specific situation. "

For a split second, Michelle's mind went blank for several seconds, Hotch!It's really the character I admire the most in that CM!God, what should she do, this is the most profiling elite detective!What if you turn around and you find out that your expression is different! Michelle's body was stiff and she didn't dare to move, her head was spinning rapidly, she didn't know where her mind was wandering.When she was obviously nervous, Michelle couldn't help but gossip thinking, wondering if there is a rift between Hotch and his wife now?At this time, Gideon hasn't left yet, so GeeFoyet shouldn't have appeared...

"Hello?" The voice came again.

Michelle took a deep breath and turned away.

What came into view was indeed the appearance in memory, and it was almost certain that he was Hotch, and Hotch was him.This is the role I admire the most, calm and composed, defying power, sticking to the post, and having a strong sense of responsibility.

Looking at the other party's almost nostalgic, admiring eyes that seemed to be mixed with a strange look, Hotch frowned slightly. He didn't know such a girl in his memory. Why did he show such eyes?Got it wrong?Thinking of this, Hotch didn't pay too much attention to this question, looked at the delicate facial features of the girl opposite, and explained his own question——

"I heard from the police officer over there that you were the first person to discover it. Have you seen the murderer?"

Michelle withdrew her raging gaze on the other person's face, lowered her eyes to see the other's straight suit pants and shiny leather shoes, her heart suddenly felt sore, Hotch and Haley are still happily married now.I remember that when Elle was still there, I envied him for being able to take care of family and work.But it is such a good man who loves work and family, but in the end he is faced with the end of his beloved wife who can't stand his busy work and chooses to divorce, and even dies tragically because of his work.Responsibility and prudence in doing anything is the reason for his outstanding work ability, but it is also the source of his family's breakdown.This can be said to be success and Xiao He failure.

Thinking of what happened to this person in front of her soon, Michelle couldn't help but sigh.Not wanting the other party to see the look in her eyes and cause any suspicion, Michelle raised her head slowly, forcing her gaze to stay on the position of Hotch's neck, then Michelle lowered her eyes and began to recall the scene with a stable mood:

"I was about to leave the bar and go home when I passed this alley and heard some noises..."

"Sound?" The BAU special agent who has been in contact with the case for many years is very sensitive to details, and his intuition tells him that some useful clues may be dug here.

"Well, I heard it all, I couldn't hear it very clearly... Then I heard a man's exclamation and then a heavy fall..." Michelle tried to remember, but the memory seemed to be blurred, feeling that she The very certain things seem to become strange again the moment I recall them, and I even start to doubt myself a little.Did she really hear it?Or is it just my imagination?In the end, the non-stop psychological hints convinced me of what I heard and saw.

Hotch looked down at the girl in front of him, with slightly curly brown hair, delicate facial features, and the unusually sunny smile in the photo in his memory.He remembers her, yes, he has dealt with all kinds of cases all year round, and he has a deep memory of the victims of many cases.What's more, this girl is a potential target of the murderer in the brown hair cutting case not long ago. If they catch the murderer one step later, maybe the first meeting with this girl is not here as a witness but as a victim .When the murderer was interrogated, he remembered very clearly that the other party had an almost perverted obsession with this girl, and even threatened the police that if he wanted him to confess to all the crimes, he had to see this warm girl with his own eyes.Simply Man used interrogation techniques at that time, very cleverly disrupting the other party's pace, and confessed to the crime.He still remembers Man's evaluation of this girl:

"If it's not a last resort, I really don't want her to face this person. I just got in touch with her for a while, and I naturally like her character. It feels really clean and comfortable. Use a more literary Explanation? It’s a ray of breeze on a hot summer day, and people can’t help but want to catch it. So from this perspective, I can’t understand this perverted idea. It’s like a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in his dark world. I can't help but use all my strength to approach and grab her."

Thinking of this, Hotch looked at Michelle with a hint of appreciation and approval. This is indeed a magical girl.Hearing the description of the first responder just now, unlike other police officers who thought she was a doctor, he knew her background and abilities very well, and had almost no formal medical training.It is mentioned in the information that she suffered a serious illness. It seems that this strong girl may have made a lot of efforts and learned a lot of knowledge for a better life after that. Now she is almost a different person from before.

Hotch tried to keep his voice down as much as possible, and comforted the girl in front who seemed a little anxious and did not help, "Don't be too nervous, we have a method that can help you restore your memory. The human brain is amazing, it can remember Remember details you can't remember right now. I need you to do what I say now."

Michelle shook her head, annoyed and tugged at her hair that had been disheveled just now, a little annoyed at her own helplessness, and finally raised her head to look at the always steady and safe agent.

"I know that this is a kind of psychological suggestion therapy, which can help people recall some things that they have forgotten in the past or even when they were young. But I already know this kind of therapy, so it may not be useful for your guidance." Michelle was frustrated Biting his lower lip, he finally told Hotch the true thoughts in his heart.In fact, she can not show her hole cards, but follow along, and she will not be suspected if the result does not come out.But inexplicably, I don't know why, she can deceive anyone, but these people, these so-called plot characters, she wants to show the most authentic side.I'm not that girl at the bottom of the society who just eats, drinks and waits to die. I'm Mu Lin, a girl who likes reasoning and works hard to live a healthy life.

Although she knew that this completely different performance was enough to attract the attention of this experienced profiler, but it was enough, Michelle shouted in her heart, she was fed up with such hidden days, why couldn't Just be herself?Even if the price is to arouse everyone's suspicion and vigilance, she also hopes that the person you see in your eyes is the real her.Because they didn't know it themselves, they were the only ones who could connect her to that world...

Hotch was really surprised this time, this girl gave him a steady stream of surprises, when he thought he had discovered that she had two black and white cards, she calmly took out the third trump card - the gray one .Facing the girl who just turned away the eyes that she didn't want to meet with him, Hotch clearly saw the desperate determination and desperate courage in it. He didn't understand what kind of thing required this girl to put in all her efforts To hide, and now willing to try like a moth to a flame?It's just a recap of events, isn't it?

Hotch suppressed the incomparable doubts in his heart, pretending not to see the slight trembling of the girl's body in front of him:

"I need you to close your eyes."
