After a few days of investigation, the fbi behavioral analysis team has basically understood the characteristics of the suspect, such as age, race, personality and so on.But even if the portrait of the suspect is written, it does not mean that they can immediately confirm the identity of the suspect.

Given that the first victim, Amanda Taylor, and the second victim, Ian Bruce, were both somewhat related to Brian Bruce, Director Jason decided to - once again - try to get some information from Brian Bruce. start.

Perhaps it was because he noticed that Gino had a more friendly attitude towards the Bruce brothers, or it was just a simple work assignment. In short, this time it was Gino who was sent to Bruce's house by Jason.

Gino didn't really want to come.He has been bothering the other party for the past few days, and has not made much progress until today. Gino is a little speechless facing the Bruce Brothers.

However, he also knew in his heart the importance of personal emotions and the circumstances of the case.Therefore, it was one thing to refuse in his heart, but in terms of action, he still came to Kimberlydon very respectfully.

Then another embarrassing thing happened. Today, for some reason, it was Brian Bruce who opened the door.

Keno:! ! !

Looking at the stern face of the red-haired man, Jino suddenly missed Ian who was friendly and had a warm smile.

"Mr. Bruce, good day." Kino cleared his throat and briefly explained the reason for his visit.The moment he finished speaking, Jino saw a trace of undisguised impatience on the man's face.

For a moment, Jino almost thought that he was going to return without success this time.The dislike and repulsion in Brian's eyes were so obvious that Kino felt that Brian might just close the door and refuse him to enter the house.Fortunately, the situation wasn't that bad. Although Brian frowned, he still let him in.

Gino obviously felt that Brian didn't like him. Unlike his younger brother Ian, the eldest son of the Bruce family had a somewhat resistant attitude towards him for some reason.

With this in mind, Gino didn't say those meaningless polite words. As soon as he sat down, he straight to the point told Brian the behavior analysis team's guess that "the murderer's real purpose is to take revenge on Brian".

"What do you mean?" Brian frowned, staring at Kino unhappily, "You mean, Ian was attacked because of me?"

"It's just a possibility." Kino explained, "Mr. Bruce, please recall who you have had grudges against..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Brian.

"It's just ridiculous!" Brian stood up abruptly from the sofa, with an offended expression on his face, and the pair of golden brown eyes in the deep eye sockets were full of anger, as if they could burn two people, " Because you can't find the murderer and can't solve the case, are you rambling like a mad dog? Is this the quality of your fbi?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Kino stood up, not understanding why Brian's reaction was so violent, but the other party had already mentioned the issue of "fbi's quality", and he couldn't sit still no matter what, "We also hope that we can Catch the murderer sooner. It is undeniable that the two current victims have a very close relationship with you-"

"Damn it, I don't even know Amanda Taylor!" Brian tugged on his tie impatiently, and after taking a few deep breaths, his mood calmed down a little.

"This detective, please focus on the case, please? I am a businessman, and there will be more or less friction when it comes to interests. But you have to know," Bryan paused, and let out a mocking sneer , "No decent person would use such a rude and inferior method to avenge his revenge."

Hearing what he said, Jino couldn't help but think of the members of the behavior analysis team's profile of the murderer.Their murderer is not a "decent person", but a frustrated person who has lived a bad life in real life, and finally couldn't help venting his dissatisfaction by attacking the rich over time.

"I see." Bryan's lack of cooperation made Kino feel very troublesome. He didn't know what happened to the other party today, and he seemed to have a particularly bad temper.

Maybe it's a bad mood!Brian obviously has a close relationship with Ian. The murderer who attacked his brother has not been caught so far. It is only natural for him to be worried.

But then again, their behavior analysis team is also under a lot of pressure, after all, there is the death of the big star Amanda Taylor...

Thinking of this, Jino couldn't help but sighed: "So, do you have any clues to give us?"

To be honest, when he asked this question, Gino really just asked casually as he went through the motions. In fact, he didn't really hope that Brian could give any answer.Unexpectedly, Brian did not deny it immediately, but fell into silence.

At times like this, "Silence" is somewhat unusual.

Gino keenly sensed something strange, and couldn't help asking: "What happened? After that, I mean, after Ian was injured?"

He asked this question incoherently, because Gino really cared about Ian.Instead of laughing at Kino because of this, Brian seemed to be moved by his revelation of his true feelings. After a moment of hesitation, he finally revealed the truth.

"It's like this..." Brian took out a piece of ordinary-looking printing paper from a large pile of documents, and handed it to Kino, "Just this morning, I found this in the mailbox."

This is a piece of A4-sized printing paper. On the white paper, a sentence composed of all capital letters is printed in the middle.

"I will visit again to eliminate the fish that slipped through the net..." Kino read out the sentence on the paper softly, and frowned almost subconsciously, "The 'fish that slipped through the net' here, could it be Ian?"

"Maybe, I don't know." Brian covered his face, and there was a little panic in his dull voice, "I'm not even sure if this thing was sent by the murderer, but I dare not—God, Even if there is only a slight possibility, I will treat it as real and take precautions, and I dare not put Ian in danger."

Kino couldn't help but said, "I think you can try to trust us, I mean, you should take the initiative to tell us about this." He paused. "The supervisor gave Ian his business card, didn't he?"

Brian thought that the husband had already thrown that business card into the trash can. Thinking of this, his expression of pretending to be sad was unnatural for a moment.Fortunately, almost the entire face of Brian was covered by his hands, so that Kino could not see it, otherwise Kino would definitely notice something was wrong.

"I didn't tell Ian about this." Brian said, "I was afraid that if it was fake, I didn't want to cause unnecessary panic to Ian."

This barely explained "why he didn't tell the behavior analysis team about this piece of paper", and Kino also knew that Brian actually didn't like them, and it could even be said that he hated them, so it was normal not to tell them.

The most important thing is that Kino is not in the mood to entangle this issue with Brian now.If this piece of paper is really sent by the murderer, then there is no doubt that it is a declaration of crime, and the murderer's target is Ian. Although the time is not clearly stated, it is very likely to be tonight.

There is not much time left for them.

"Where is Ian now?" Gino asked.

"He's going to the musical." Brian put down his hand covering his face, his expression seemed to have regained his composure. "It ends at 04:30, and it will be about six o'clock when we get back here."

After hearing this, Jino's anxiety did not decrease but increased. In this season, it was already dark at six o'clock in the evening.He was worried that Ian would be targeted by the murderer when he came back and was attacked on the way home.

This is not impossible. You must know that Kimberleyton is a villa area, and the distance between each household is very far, which can be said to guarantee the individual to a large extent.But at the same time, it also gave some criminals an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Although there are many security personnel patrolling the several main roads in Kimberlyton, as long as the law of security patrols is under control, it becomes easy to take advantage of loopholes.Coupled with the cover of night, it was difficult for Kino not to worry about Ian.

After all, from the two cases where the murderer killed Amanda and attacked Ian, it can be seen that the tight security of Kimberlyton was almost completely transparent to the murderer, as if it did not exist.

Perhaps it was because Gino's expression was too serious, and Brian gradually softened his attitude, agreeing with Gino's plan that "Kino will pick up Ian, and Brian waits for support from the behavior analysis team at home".Gino was on the phone with the Behavioral Analysis team, and Jason, the supervisor, sent Randall and Melinda over.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Randall and Melinda set off from the LAPD almost immediately to Kimballton.As for the fact that Bryan was not moved by Kino, but agreed with the trend as Mr. planned long ago, Kino still doesn't know about this.

Kino, who knew nothing and was eager to protect Ian, drove directly to the theater after asking Brian the name of the theater where Ian watched the musical.

He didn't break into the theater to interrupt the performance, and quietly waited outside the theater for the musical to end.Although Bryan had said the musical ended at 04:30, Gino hadn't seen Ian until a quarter to five.

"Ian." Jino opened the car door, got out of the car and walked towards Ian.

Ian—that is, Mo Zhaoyuan, the moment he saw Jino, he showed a little surprise in a very natural and unaffected way: "Agent Bennett? Why are you here?"

As if realizing that the other party was looking for him, Mo Zhaoyuan blinked and asked, "What happened?"

Gino originally wanted to truthfully report the criminal declaration sent by the suspected murderer, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered what Brian said, not wanting to scare Ian, and changed his words in a mysterious way: "Uh, that, I think, I want to invite you Have a meal."

Facing the puzzling grayish-blue eyes of the young man, Jino could only feel a surge of heat rising from the bottom of his heart and rushing straight to his forehead.

"I, that, although it's a bit presumptuous," he stammered, blushing, unable to restrain his embarrassment, but forced himself to speak, "may I invite you to dinner, Mr. Ian Bruce?"

In the thick and tormenting atmosphere, Jino saw the young man in front of him showing a smile.The light gray-blue eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and the light golden half-length hair was coated with a warmer color by the sunset light, and even the light lips became rosy.

"My pleasure, Agent Bennett."

When he heard the young man say this, the magnetic and clear voice was full of laughter, and it exploded in his ears like some kind of hormonal magic, making him feel smoky, as if he was in heaven.

As if bewitched, Jino subconsciously laughed along with him.
