The matter started more than three hours ago. Members of the BAU team gathered in the conference room of the FBI branch in the metropolitan area. Photos of the victims were pasted on the whiteboards in the conference room. The commonality of the victims they investigated Key words, and lines that connect these clues together.

Rossi sat in the corner, thinking, and said: "According to my findings today," Rossi shook the notebook in his hand, and continued: "The victim of the Metropolis, Elizabeth Conrad, He is a divorce lawyer, and according to reports from insiders, Connard charged high kickbacks to give either spouse an advantage in property distribution."

"Greed," Jeange concluded.

"What about you," Rossi said, looking at Morgan, "It goes without saying about Evelyn Gray, the Los Angeles victim."

"That's right," Rhett sighed, and said, "This lady is a high-ranking call girl, and her profession, in a sense, represents prostitution among the Seven Deadly Sins."

"This case is undoubtedly one of the serial murders," Holamps said: "The murderer uses the seven original sins as the selection criteria, selects women with similar appearance and similar age, and chooses women of similar appearance and age as the victims to harm, and the order of the seven original sins. "Speaking, Hollamps looked at Rhett.

Reid, who was browsing the documents quickly, met Prentice's gaze, and quickly replied: "Satiated, promiscuous, greed, anger, jealousy, laziness, and arrogance," Reid said, "Wait, Prentice Teece, you mean this victim at the Met is actually the No. 3 victim?"

Plantis nodded, that's what she meant, and said: "There is another thing in common. Although the crime scene in Los Angeles was discovered relatively late and the layout of the scene had been damaged by the weather, when the case in Metropolis was discovered, The dead just died..."

Hotchner glanced at the autopsy report and said, "Almost 48 hours."

Prentiss continued: "That is to say, the scene will be arranged as it should be." Holampus glanced at the photo standing on the whiteboard and said, "The body was buried in a shallow pit, but it was only covered with a layer. Around the shallow pit, five white candles were erected, and with the candles as the endpoints, the murderer sprinkled meth on the ground and the corpse, drawing an inverse pentagram pattern."

Holch interfaced and said: "The metropolitan site investigation has confirmed that starting from the shoulder armor of the victim, the pattern of the pair of black wings formed by the burned turf is symmetrical on both sides. Exploration has extracted the components of the combustion accelerant from the soil at the site."

Prentiss continued: "The murderer will change the victim into a black long skirt embroidered with dark patterns, and put a black cloak on the outside of the long skirt, and stick a dagger in the heart of the deceased."

Reid closed the notebook in his hand, and the doctor of psychology began to speak, saying: "Although I haven't read much literature on Black Sect Satanism, the goat sacrifice of Black Sect Satanism shown on the scene is in line with Described in the literature," Holch couldn't help but look at the thick stack of books piled up to Rhett's shoulder on the table, and Rhett continued: "In short, the murderer must be a follower of the Black Sect Satanism."

While thinking about it, Reid said: "Talking about the characteristics of the murderer, first, this person must be a follower of the Black Sect Satanism, but he gave this religious doctrine a new meaning, he exaggerated the goat's presence in the Black Sect Satanism sacrificial ceremony. Meaning, with real sinners as goat substitutes."

Jean Heat agreed: "That's right, then the second point, the murderer removed the organs of the deceased according to the ritual of the Black Sect's Satanism, it should be for the last and final sacrifice, Rhett, which page did you turn to? "Rett slid his hand over the signature on the spine of the book, found a book, then flipped through the table of contents, found a certain page, turned two more pages, and clicked on the book.

"Here," read Rhett, "stomach, sex/organs, heart, liver, kidneys, brain, lungs, these seven are arranged in the reverse pentagram, and the organs of the goat are burned with flames, The established guilt will be removed, and people will surely go to heaven."

Jean Ge continued: "The murderer's method of removing the victim's organs is very professional. The cut surface of the knife is accurate, and no other adjacent organs are even scratched. The wounds on the body surface are sutured tightly and finely. It is a very professional surgical suture method," Jean Ge said. Very slowly but her tone was very sure, she said: "That is to say, the murderer has received systematic medical training, and second, she was able to obtain professional surgical equipment."

Jean Ge said: "Well, secondly, he has a quiet environment where he won't be disturbed."

"That's right," Prantis agreed, "The murderer lived alone in the crime environment. Maybe it was a detached villa, or a private clinic?"

Hochner explained: "In other words, the murderer may be a person with a medical education background, a person with the financial conditions of a single-family house, or the murderer opened a private clinic."

Rhett frowned, and he said hesitantly: "And..." Rhett couldn't help but look at Kate, Kate Callahan was once one of the best members of their behavior analysis team, Rhett hesitated After a while, he still said: "There are also forensic doctors. Forensic doctors can use a closed anatomy room with complete equipment and independent use."

Kate laughed and said, "You must be worried, Spencer, I know what you mean, you just want to say that Clark is also on this list, right?"

The little doctor scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed - Kate's partner was the one who bought him the Iron Man figure, but his professionalism must be taken into account of the few doctors of pathology and forensic doctors in the metropolis possibility of committing a crime.

"The third point," Rossi also smiled, he has a good impression of Clark, this young man is mature, stable, serious and excellent, Rossi said: "Thirdly, since the murderer carefully arranged a The sacrificial ceremony, he must be for himself or someone very close to him, if it is for himself, he should suffer from a serious illness and die soon, and the same goes for his relatives."

"Yes." The others agreed.

"But again, Callahan," Rosie said with a smile, "if you want to prove your partner's innocence, it's very simple. You just need to find the work monitor or person who works in Kent's distance from the third day forward. Is the certificate ready soon?"

When Kate heard this, she was stunned. He said, "Clark was seconded by S.H.I.E.L.D. It is said that he is performing a classified mission."

"What?" Rossi withdrew his smile, and he seemed to ask unintentionally, "Then did you ask him what he was going to do?"

Kate was a little dissatisfied but she didn't show it. Kate replied: "Clark said that it is not convenient to disclose the secrets."

"Sir!" A video dialog box popped up from the computer in the Behavior Analysis Team's office, Penelope Garcia, the technician and information officer of their team, said in a tone of breath: "Just received a report from the Metropolitan Police. In room 48 on the 26th floor of the apartment at No. 2608 Le Avenue, another female corpse was found with a height consistent with the layout of this case, and according to the report of the forensic doctor of the Metropolitan Police Department, the death time of this lady was not more than two hours!"

Holch didn't hesitate, and immediately said, "Callaghan, call Kent, and we'll set off immediately."

Kate took out her mobile phone, and she dialed, "The user you dialed is not in the service area, please check before dialing."

Kate called five times, but Clark's cell phone still couldn't be connected. Although Superman carried the cell phone with him, forgive him for not being able to have a phone signal in the meter-deep mine.Kate was a little surprised, and she said: "It's okay, it should be in the bathroom. The signal in the bathroom of the bureau has not been good."

Morgan frowned, and he said to Garcia in the video: "Babygirl, you can adjust the surveillance distributed by the FBI in the metropolis, and use facial recognition to see where Kent has gone."

Just one minute later, Garcia sent a video. Clark walked through the corridor on the first floor of the FBI branch, opened a small side door in the most remote side building of the FBI branch, walked into the blind spot of surveillance, and then disappeared.Kate was taken aback when she saw the surveillance, and asked, "Garcia, did he leave two hours ago?"

"I don't want to ask that question," Kate asked, her hands clenched into fists, "how long does it take to get from the FBI station to the apartment at 48 Huber Street."

Garcia's hand quickly tapped on the keyboard, and gave an answer: "Sorry, Kate, it only takes 46 minutes."

Holch issued an order, he said: "Morgan, Rhett, Garcia, investigate the background of Clark Kent," Holch continued: "Garcia, search the city surveillance, locate Kent's location. JJ, Rossi, Pullan Teece, let's go to the scene of the crime."

As a result, it became a perfectly normal thing for Clark to become a suspect suspected by the behavior analysis team:

First, Clark has multiple properties under his name, including single-family villas. He himself is the head of the Metropolitan Bureau of the FBI and has independent access to forensic laboratories.

Second, he has outstanding intelligence and logical thinking ability. He has studied Satanic religious studies, and there are only copies of such religious studies in his family.

Third, he left the bureau for various reasons. That time happened to be the time when the crime happened. It is not known whether anyone can verify his alibi.

Fifth, in the latest case, the FBI could not track his trajectory even when he left the workplace and avoided the city surveillance cameras when the crime happened.

……

Clark sat behind the table, and he quietly stared at Kate with a serious expression. Even if this young criminal psychologist knew her partner very well, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved when Clark made it so clear that he refused to provide an alibi. Clark became suspicious.

Kate took out the key, she started her interrogation method, she uncuffed Clark, Clark, who had been silent all this time, withdrew his hand, Clark's sitting position didn't even change, Kate said: "I want to believe you, Clark, but I More definitely, you are hiding a secret."

To Kate's surprise, the corners of Clark's mouth hooked up, revealing a faint smile.

Kate only felt a wave of anger burning from the bottom of her heart, but she still asked calmly, "What are you laughing at?"

Clark finally spoke, and he answered the question, saying, "Bruce trusts you more than I thought."

Behind the single-sided glass, Holch instructed through the microphone, "Ask him why?"

Kate asked: "Why?" Through Clark's slightly reflective glasses lenses, it was the first time for Kate to stare at Clark's blue eyes so intently. She suddenly discovered that besides his gentleness and wisdom, there was also a It is similar to the indifference of controlling the overall situation, a kind of calmness from the bottom of my heart.

As if, for Clark, being almost behind bars these days wasn't serious at all.

"No reason," Clark didn't mean to explain at all, he said instead: "As you just said, I'm hiding a secret, and this secret is very important to me, I don't really want to reveal my secret to you." Secret," Clark said, looking back at the single-sided glass, "I don't even want to reveal my secret under such circumstances."

So, Kate said with accusations: "Clark, you should understand that your behavior is interfering with judicial justice, and we have the right to sue you."

"Your lawsuit will not be accepted by the judge," Clark smiled, and continued: "The reason why it will not be accepted is closely related to my secret."

Clark leaned back and said, "Kate, don't waste time on me, I won't be the murderer of any murder, because once I do something evil, you can't imagine what I can do."

"Can you imagine?" Kate asked understandingly: "Or have you ever done?" This question is a bit sharp.

Clark quieted down. He listened to Holch's cell phone ringing behind the single-sided glass. The director of the FBI directly called the leader of the BAU team. After a while, the door of the interrogation room was opened, and Holch Erqi walked in, and he said: "You can go, Dr. Kent," his tone was cold, and he said: "Obviously, we small employees of the government arrested you without clear evidence."

At this time, the door of the interrogation room was opened again, and Morgan rushed in excitedly. He whispered a few words in Holch's ear, and Holch said: "You are under arrest, Mr. Kent, we have found evidence that can testify against you." your evidence."

And Clark heard clearly that Morgan said that residual human blood and bleach/powder components were found in the floor drain of the bathroom in his villa, and the human blood had been sent for comparison.

Clark understood now that someone was setting him up, and it wasn't a coincidence at all.
