[Comprehensive] IQ knocks on the door

Said lightly.

An awkward atmosphere never before permeated the two different spaces through the phone.

Reid heard Augustine's different indifference from usual, and unconsciously held the phone with his fingers.There was a grievance in his heart that he didn't know where it came from, which made him frown slightly, looking a little pitiful.

"What's the matter Spencer?" J.J at the side asked with concern seeing Reid's expression.Little did they know that the voice reached Augustine's ears through the microphone, and unconsciously reminded him of Reid's vague affection for J·J. Augustine's heart softened a bit, but it stiffened again in an instant: "Spencer, what do you want?" He asked again.

Yes, I have many things, I want to know the reason for your suspension, and I want to know what I can do to help you. Reid thought so, but he couldn't say anything out of his mouth. It didn't take Augustine to say that Reid knew that since the previous confession, a natural barrier appeared between them out of thin air. Reid thought maybe his attitude of refusal was too tough, obviously the other party was just a joke, but he refused as if he took it seriously, and resisted instinctively.Presumably this attitude hurt Augustine's self-esteem.

In fact, Reid also vaguely knew that his attitude at that time was too weird.But he didn't know what was going on. When he heard Augustine say that, he instinctively felt guilty. If he asked him why he was guilty, Reid couldn't answer it himself.

Reid's expression became more and more cramped. He clenched his hands into a fist and kept rubbing the knuckles of his index finger with his thumb. JJ was really worried. Seeing Reid on the phone, she thought something was wrong. misfortune. J.J pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Spencer?"

"Spencer, it seems that you still have something to do over there, so I won't bother you." Speaking Augustine was like hanging up the phone.

"Wait, Aust." Reid's tone was a little anxious, which made the movements of Augustine's hands involuntarily paused.

Augustine was a little helpless, he put the phone back to his ear, and heard Reid's short breathing, his voice softened slightly: "Well, I'm here."

Hearing Augustine's apparently softened attitude, Reid involuntarily loosened his brows, but his face was still a little nervous: "Well, where are you? Let me treat you to dinner." As soon as he said the words, Reid regretted it, What's the matter with this rash invitation.

Augustine turned his head and glanced at his friend who was watching him on the phone, and said awkwardly: "I'm afraid not, I have an appointment with someone else."

After hearing this, Declan finally showed a smile on his face, and he proudly gave Augustine a look of 'you are sensible'.

"Tomorrow is fine." Reid said quickly, "I have time."

J.J raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing this, do they have time tomorrow?

"I'm afraid not." Augustine refused, he didn't want to have any more interaction with Reid for now.

"Can't you..."

"No." Hearing Reid's low tone, Augustine blurted out the self-slapping words.When he realized what he said, his whole face was wrinkled, and he looked very confused.It was so easy, Augustine suppressed the idea of ​​killing herself, and explained her incoherent behavior: "I told Gartner that I can't reinstate my job because I have to go back to California to defend my thesis. You, won't my lies be exposed?"

"I can pick you up," Reid said.

"Has your case been solved? Someone as serious as your supervisor will let you out easily?" Augustine caused trouble.

Reid was a little confused, he really wanted to do something to eliminate the barrier between the two, but, based on what he knew about Hotchner, he wouldn't even think about having private time until the case was over.

It never occurred to Reid at the moment that they could date after the case was over.He just wanted to quickly resolve the misunderstanding between the two.

"Let's make an appointment after your case is over." Augustine sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Well, good." Reid reluctantly agreed, the topic came to an end temporarily, and he was still unwilling to put down the phone.

Augustine didn't seem to hang up the phone either, he changed the subject: "Have you told Gartner about my reasoning before?"

"I said it." Reid said, "At first she didn't believe it, but after Mrs. Wheat surrendered, she knew that what you said was correct." Reid concealed his argument for Augustine, and only said over these.

Augustine didn't think much about it. He was a little surprised that Mrs. Wheat surrendered himself, so he couldn't help asking: "Why did she surrender herself?"

Reid said: "I heard that she didn't want to implicate her daughter. After all, if she doesn't turn herself in, her daughter will be imprisoned for cover-up after the truth comes to light. Her future will be ruined."

Augustine was slightly stunned, and said with emotion: "Really, I have pity on her for thinking about her daughter. Did she say why she killed the victim?"

"Mrs. Wheat is also an employee of the victim's father's company. She was fired some time ago because of a work mistake. Mrs. Wheat died in a car accident in her early years, and the burden of the family was on Mrs. Wheat. After she was fired, her family was in trouble. Therefore She held a grudge. Originally, she wanted to use her daughter's relationship to beg the victim and her father to give her a few good words to let her go back to work, but who would have thought that the victim not only refused to agree, but also humiliated her daughter, and she became murderous in a fit of anger."

"Really?" Listening to Reid's words, Augustine only felt that this matter was full of contradictions.Although it is true that the murderer is Mrs. Wheat, it is worth pondering whether the reason is as she said.

Augustine suddenly remembered the unconcealed hatred and joy on Wheat's face when he mentioned the victim, and she vaguely understood it in her heart.

It's just that she wasn't the one who attacked after all, so what if she was behind the scenes, she still escaped the punishment of the law in the end.

Augustine felt a little disappointed, but these were only his guesses after all.He doesn't even have the right to say it.

"Let's not talk about that. How is your case investigation going?" Augustine asked casually.

"It's fine," Reid said vaguely.

Only then did Augustine realize that he was no longer a forensic doctor, and Reid had no right to disclose the progress of the case to him. Augustine pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a desire to give up revenge and just go back to work, but he still held back the thought: "Sorry, I just asked by the way when Officer Abraham came to see me today."

"What did he want from you?" Reid asked, frowning.

"I don't know, I think his words and behavior are very strange." As he spoke, Augustine recounted today's meeting.Then he said: "I've always wondered why he said the word 'go home'. That's not his home, is it?"

"You suspect him?" Reid asked.

"I don't know. From a rational point of view, he really didn't have the time and motivation to commit the crime. But I always feel that he is a bit weird. It is reasonable to say that people's memory of details cannot be clear and correct. But his answers to details are inconsistent. Consistent. It's like deliberately memorizing and memorizing."

"Maybe it's just a professional habit? As a criminal policeman, you must always remember the layout of the murder scene clearly."

"Perhaps." Augustine didn't refute. After all, his theory is really untenable: "Actually, there is one thing I can't figure out all the time. Why did the murderer cut the corpse into pieces? Not to mention time-consuming and laborious, it is easy to leave evidence .”

"This kind of excessive murder is generally judged as a great enmity between the murderer and the deceased." Reid said, suddenly he paused: "But this behavior is too much..."

"What if the murderer has another purpose?" Augustine said, "You said the man agreed that his brother was wronged, so would he infiltrate the police station to find the so-called truth?"

"The police station is not so easy to sneak in. Except for the key card, the relevant places need fingerprint pupil verification..." Reid had a flash of inspiration: "Wait, you mean..."

"That's right. In addition to ID, fingerprint verification is required to enter the forensic department. Suppose the murderer wants to sneak into the forensic department. Then he must get the fingerprint of one of the internal members of the forensic department."

"Professionals can collect fingerprints and make a fingerprint model to fool the machine. But the suspect has not learned the corresponding knowledge. He is not sure that the model he made will fool the verification machine. He also knows that if it fails once, it will cause related problems. The vigilance of the staff made his next action more difficult. So he chose to cut off the victim's finger directly as the 'key' to open the door. And he dismembered the victim afterwards just to hide his small means? So that the police would not be too Have you seen the tricks in the case earlier?" Reid hypothesized with some excitement.

This assumption may be a bit unbelievable. After all, to disguise oneself as another person to operate in a police station full of human beings, apart from ID and fingerprints, what is more important is appearance and usual behavior habits.These are not easy to disguise, and the prisoner will fall into the trap if he has a slight flaw.So no one thinks about the reason for dismembering the corpse.But Augustine and Reid.The former is a master of disguise, while the latter has long been used to being frightened by the former, subconsciously, he doesn't think it is difficult to pretend to be another person.

"So as long as the old forensic doctor checks the cell activity on the finger of the corpse and deduces when it was cut off, we can determine whether our speculation is right or wrong." Augustine said.

"If it is true, the reason why the murderer used such cruel methods to delay the police from finding out his purpose is probably to buy time for himself. He has not given up looking for the files of the case back then."

"If no relevant materials can be found in the forensics department, the suspect may turn his target to the archives room."

Reid complained in his heart. In order to understand the background of the case, they investigated the rape case that year.It turns out that Wright was not wronged.It was just his delusion that he had been committing adultery with the victim for a long time.When there was a contradiction between delusion and reality, Wright couldn't bear to rape and kill the victim in a fit of anger.This is clearly written on the file, and there is also a report written by the corresponding psychiatrist.But these little Wrights won't believe it, a paranoid prisoner like him will only accept the established facts.If he was allowed to see that report, I'm afraid it would only make him more convinced that it was a government conspiracy, and the psychiatrist who finally issued the certificate and the criminal police who handled the case would also be in danger!

Reid's worries Augustine knew, he just hated that he couldn't go to the crime scene and help Reid.

Reid's heart was spinning and turning, and he didn't have time to take care of his little thoughts.He hurriedly said to Augustine: "Aust, I'm going to verify our guess, and we'll talk next time."

"Hmm." Augustine only had time to respond before the phone was hung up. Augustine looked at the hung up phone, sighed, turned to the impatient Declan and said, "Let's go, where to eat?"

"Do you have time to eat?" Declan frowned dissatisfiedly: "I'm afraid all your thoughts are flying to the crime scene now."

Augustine was a little embarrassed to be seen through by his best friend. He rubbed his nose and felt guilty: "You also know Lie Xinxi's character. With such a case in front of me, I don't have the heart to eat."

"Okay, I'm afraid of you. Let's go to the crime scene." Declan rolled his eyes: "Save you and I have those bloody corpses in your mind when we eat."

"Where would it be?" Augustine smiled apologetically, "How can I still eat like that."

Declan glanced at him, clearly not believing what he said: "Come on, I don't know you yet. Wait." Declan walked into the room.

Augustine thought he was going to change clothes, so he didn't think much about it. He knew Declan's picky character, and knew that it would take a long time for him to change clothes, so he took the fashion magazine on the table and planned to use it to pass the time.

Augustine's actions were too careless. A photo added to the magazine fell to the ground. He picked it up casually, glanced at it, and then froze.The person in that photo is actually Caroline Channing!

Augustine suddenly felt ridiculous.Augustine wouldn't be surprised if the person in the photo was Reid.After all, with Declan's curiosity, it is normal to secretly investigate the person Augustine likes.But Caroline Channing, this childhood friend whom Augustine only saw once after coming to New York, an old friend who is not even a friend, one of the people he wants to meet when he comes to New York...

Augustine couldn't help clenching the hand holding the photo.At this time, there was a sound from the bedroom, and Augustine reflexively stuffed the photo back into the magazine and put it away.As soon as the book was put down, Augustine realized that it was wrong to do so.He didn't put the photo back in place just now, which may be overlooked in the eyes of others.But it can't work when it comes to Declan. Declan is a very careful person, and these subtle changes will not escape his eyes, not to mention the fingerprints left by Augustine on the corner of the photo when he was excited just now.

But now even if Augustine wanted to correct the mistake, it was too late. Declan changed his clothes in a rare and quick manner.Still holding two booklets in his hand, he walked out happily.

Declan said: "Austin, look, what is this!"

Augustine suppressed his flustered look, and looked at the things in Declan's hands pretending to be curious.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but Augustine was taken aback again.His eyes widened in surprise: "This is, the FBI's certificate! Where did you come from!"

"Secret," Declan said, pretending to be mysterious.He threw an ID at random: "Hurry up and put on makeup, I'll take you in later."

Augustine opened the ID card. The person in the photo was blond and blue-eyed, and he was three to four points like Augustine, which undoubtedly facilitated his disguise: "Jeff Murphy. A member of the elite team of the FBI in New York. Wait, there is really this People?" The certificates were so fake that it was difficult for even Augustine to judge.

"Of course there is." Declan said nonchalantly, "If not, wouldn't they be caught if they checked?"

"God, is your ID real or fake?" Augustine couldn't help asking.

"False." Declan said so, but with a smile on his face, making it hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

Seeing this, Augustine couldn't help grinding her teeth. Declan saw it, and hurriedly said: "You don't go to put on makeup yet, so be careful that I won't take you there!"

Hold back, hold back, the case is the most important thing.These small details will have the opportunity to ask later. Augustine couldn't help but build himself up mentally, and it was hard to bear the gloom.He reached out and grabbed the makeup bag in front of Declan and turned to the bathroom.

Behind him, Declan seemed to think that Augustine was not depressed enough, and said loudly: "Austin, you took the things away, what kind of disguise should I use!"

Augustine just wanted to find an opportunity to embarrass this guy, and when he saw him asking this question, he replied loudly: "There are still rice noodles in the kitchen, just wait and see!"

"Really." Declan murmured inexplicably. He was about to turn around and go back to his room to get his spare makeup bag when he saw some too neatly arranged magazines on the table. Declan reached for the magazine and opened it, looking at the photos between the pages, his face turned cold.He stretched out his hand to caress the fingerprints that Augustine accidentally left just now, and suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled.Then Declan closed the pages like nothing happened, laid it out as it was, and turned back to the room.

***

An hour later, the two were standing downstairs at the scene of the crime. Declan stretched out his hands to half cover the noon sun, complained casually, and Augustine pulled him out regardless of the hot weather, completely forgetting that he was the one who was so excited and eager to come to see the scene.

Augustine raised his eyes to look at the sky, he couldn't figure out how the temperature of twenty degrees to less than thirty degrees could be considered hot.But Augustine was well aware of Declan's disconnection, so she didn't refute it.Just dragged him into the building and pressed the elevator.

Seeing the numbers on the elevator beating constantly, Declan's body trembled a little. Augustine glanced at Declan strangely, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you scared?"

"No." Declan licked his dry lips: "I'm excited! I've never pretended to be a policeman!"

"Oh." Compared to Declan's adrenaline-like performance, Augustine was obviously much calmer, he only responded and stopped talking.

Now Declan was a little surprised: "Aren't you excited?"

Augustine remained calm: "If there are too many impersonators, I won't feel this way. After all, the police are human, so is it any different from other people I have impersonated?" Then, Augustine warned again: "Be careful , don’t expose our disguise.”

"Yeah." Declan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Seeing that his face gradually calmed down, Augustine nodded slightly. At this time, the tenth floor was also arrived, and he took the first step out of the elevator.

Since Declan only gave him his ID and no clothes, they were stopped by the police when they approached the scene.

Augustine calmly took out his police ID from his pocket: "Jeff Murphy, this is my colleague John Miller, we are here to investigate the scene."

The guards were a little puzzled when they saw the IDs of the two: "Why did this case alert the elite team? Why didn't we receive the notice?"

Facing doubts, Augustine did not panic. He put away his police ID and said coldly, "You will be notified later." As he spoke, he saw the uneasy expression of the police officer in front of him, as if he wanted to ask more questions. Augustine interrupted his question first: "As far as I know, after the initial investigation, the scene no longer needs to be guarded. What made you block the scene again? Have you found any clues?"

Because of Augustine's imposing manner, facing his question, the police officer in front of him couldn't help but replied: "Yes, several BAU agents who came to help put forward new assumptions, so the scene needs to conduct another investigation and evidence collection. "

Augustine was a little nervous when he heard that, he had easily seen through the previous several times of pretending to be Reid.If Reid was here right now, Augustine and Declan would end badly.

Thinking about it, Augustine felt a little flustered. He didn't show his face, but still asked tentatively: "Then are they at the scene now?"

The police officer at the door shook his head: "They have other things to do, and our superintendent Ms. Gartner is at the scene now."

Augustine secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. Augustine thought that it might be that Gartner had just convicted him without any investigation. The word dereliction of duty hung over Gartner's head like a steel knife, making it hard for her to sleep or eat. Ann, she urgently needs to find a way to make up for her mistakes.That's why she managed to pay BAU's agents to take over the job.

Never has Augustine appreciated Gartner's selfishness more than at this moment.He nodded slightly towards the two agents at the door. The man's question was interrupted by Augustine first, then he was led by Augustine and asked several questions, and finally he was frightened by Augustine's aura, completely forgot to check The identity of the other party, so he followed Augustine's gesture and opened the door.

Augustine and Declan entered the room.The two of them couldn't help frowning as they watched the police officers walking back and forth in the house wantonly rummaging through the house.

Gartner was standing in the middle of the room directing homework. When she saw Augustine and the two of them coming in, her complexion sank. She walked up to them with a cold face, and asked in a very bad tone: "Who are you two! You came in?"

Facing Gartner, Augustine can no longer use the guise of assisting in the investigation of the disappearance of the forensic doctor to continue fooling around.After all, Gartner is the police superintendent. If the FBI wants to send agents to assist in the investigation, it is impossible not to inform her in advance.So Augustine thought, and he thought of another excuse.

"Superintendent Gartner." Augustine said, he knew someone like Gartner who had a strong desire for power, calling her this way would reduce her resistance, and sure enough, Gartner's complexion improved a lot when Augustine called her out. Augustine continued: "We are agents of the elite team, and we are here to investigate a case."

"What case? Why didn't you inform me in advance when you broke into my crime scene!" Gartner was not so easy to fool, and before Augustine finished speaking, she asked repeatedly.

Augustine was not angry either, he still had no expression on his face, and tried to maintain his elite style: "This case is of great importance, and it is inconvenient for too many people to know. Please take a step to speak." Augustine led Gartner outside the house, On the way, he turned his head and gave Declan a sneaky look, telling him to investigate first.

Declan nodded understandingly, and turned to investigate the situation in the house.

The author has something to say: Xiao Ao, you fool, keep fooling!

Augustine followed Gartner out of the crime scene one step behind.The policeman guarding the door saw the two people coming out one after the other, and they didn't seem to have any conflicts, and the doubts they still had faded away.

Augustine followed Gartner to the corner and stood still. After careful consideration, he decided to tell the whole thing seriously, and said: "Superintendent Gartner, this matter is of great importance, and I believe you only revealed some words. I hope you can keep it a secret for us." , so as not to disrupt our layout."

Seeing Augustine's serious appearance, Gartner suddenly became serious: "Of course, I know what to do."

"Well." Augustine nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "We are investigating a medical institution suspected of illegally trafficking human organs. According to the informant's report, Lennon Aron was involved in the case. Organs are exchanged for the sale of intact organs from dead bodies. We just learned that Lennon Aron was killed not long ago, which has to remind us a lot. We are afraid that this is the means of that organization to test us, so we are not good at it. To intervene in the investigation, we had to visit and inquire in private. Because this matter involves a lot, I hope Superintendent Gartner can make it easier for us to conduct some investigations in private. We will not hinder your investigation, and only hope that after you get some of these Let us know when you have any news about it.” Augustine looked at Gartner’s hesitation and quickly added: “Of course, we will not forget your contribution.” Augustine said meaningfully.

Gartner raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but she still hesitated: "It's okay to let you investigate privately. But I still can't give you the report, after all, you don't have systematic and formal procedures."

Augustine's primary goal was achieved. He was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he frowned, a little dissatisfied: "Is that so..."

Gartner thought that his behavior of not giving relevant information to Augustine had angered him, and quickly explained: "There is no way to do this. There was a mistake in the intelligence management of our department before, and now the upper management is strictly controlling it. Even I can't leak information to you without approval."

Augustine reluctantly nodded: "Well, our investigation is not about the cause of Lennon Aron's death. We just want to know whether his death is related to that institution. Well, if you investigate Lennon Aron's unusual personal relationship or I hope you can let us know about the income from unknown sources or the transfer of funds to unknown destinations, thank you." Augustine took out the pen and paper she carried with her, wrote down a series of phone numbers and handed them to Gartner.

Gartner took the call and nodded.

Seeing that her vigilance had subsided a little, Augustine asked again, "Can I conduct a site survey now?"

"Of course." Gartner nodded, her attitude improved a lot, she turned sideways and said, "Please feel free."

Augustine nodded reservedly, and stepped into the crime scene first.

Not long after he entered the scene, Declan greeted him. Fortunately, he had not forgotten the disguise of the two, and said to Augustine: "Jeff, I found out, come with me."

When Gartner heard this, she regained her energy immediately. Her subordinates had been investigating for so long but hadn't found anything, and she was worrying about how to explain it when she went back.It would be great if the two people in front of them found some clues.So before Augustine greeted her, she presumptuously said, "Lead the way quickly."

Declan was also shocked by Gartner's unceremoniousness. You must know that Declan's family background is very good. Few people dared to yell at him since he was a child. It is quite rare for Declan to suddenly see such a rude person today.

But rare is rare.Declan couldn't help but pity Augustine at the thought of having to make a living with such a self-righteous guy.

Augustine saw Declan thinking deeply and didn't know where to fly, so he patted him on the shoulder quickly: "What are you thinking, you don't lead the way yet."

"Oh." Declan responded and took the two of them to the master bedroom.

Gartner's face was not very good.It's not that she couldn't see the contempt on Declan's face just now, but after all, she wasn't his boss and couldn't say anything, so she could only swallow her anger temporarily.

Declan led the two of them, bypassing the detectives who were still searching in the master bedroom, and went straight into the bathroom in the master bedroom.

Gartner glanced at the toilet in full view, then looked at Declan, and said coldly, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Miller's bathroom?"

"Ms. What..." Declan got stuck, suddenly he couldn't remember the last name of the person in front of him.In the eyes of Gartner, this move is undoubtedly a contempt for her, so Gartner is even more angry.

Seeing Gartner's complexion, Augustine secretly smiled inwardly. He knew that Declan, unlike his memory defect, really didn't bother to memorize the names of people he didn't care about, but if you know it, you know, now is not a good time to anger Gartner. Apart from the fact that they need Gartner's help, let's just say that the two of them are now wearing vests, so they naturally act in a low-key manner.

Augustine covered her mouth and coughed lightly, suppressing the smile in her heart.He said very seriously: "Ms. Gartner."

"Oh, yes." Declan nodded: "Ms. Gartner. Don't think this toilet is small, it seems that you can read it with a little flipping. In fact, there is a mystery hidden here."

"What mystery, does it still hide the door to other time and space?" Gartner sarcastically said.

Declan pretended not to understand the hidden meaning of Gartner's words and nodded: "That's true." Then he walked to the bathtub beside him: "The door is hidden under here."

Gartner stepped forward suspiciously and pushed the bathtub.The latter remained motionless.She looked at Declan displeased: "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Declan said seriously, "You opened the door in the wrong way." Declan stepped forward and lifted the bathtub completely.

The eyes of the two people present widened in surprise.Especially Augustine, he had been with Declan for so long and didn't even know that this person had such strange strength!

Declan lowered the bathtub.He looked at Augustine's surprised expression, and smiled triumphantly: "It's not made of ceramics, and it's not that heavy. According to me, this bathtub is just placed here to hide people's eyes. In fact, someone needs to sit in it to take a bath, and keep the feet just stepped in." Going to the bathtub will collapse."

When Augustine heard the words, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the bathtub, and lifted it tentatively. Sure enough, the bathtub was easily lifted by Augustine: "Indeed, this bathtub is not heavy. It should be used to conceal people's eyes. That's right, the living room and the The second bedroom has a bathroom, who would take a shower in the master bedroom."

"Then I pushed it just now, why didn't it move at all?" Gartner felt ashamed and couldn't help questioning.

Declan pointed to the slightly raised seats on both sides of the seat where the bathtub was originally placed, and said: "That's the thing. When the bathtub was in its original position, it was held by these two things, and it couldn't be easily pushed. It's not even easy to lift it up." So easy." Declan pointed to the hook in the middle again: "This thing hangs on the part like a ring under the bathtub, if you don't separate the ring from the hook first, you can't lift it up with all your strength. "

"Then how do you know so many things?
