back to the start

"The murderer might be a woman with medical training?" Hotch was a little surprised after listening to the report of several people who checked the corpse, "Reid also thinks that a woman is more likely after analyzing the language in the letter sent by the murderer. "

"Only a woman can gain a man's absolute trust and make him break away from his small team." Morgan nodded, just like when hunting on the grassland, a lion will not actively attack bell sheep, but waits for an antelope to fall behind Then choose attack. "

Gracia's call came in just in time, "Cutes, want to know what else Jack the Ripper took from his victims? Count down to three."

"Kidney." Gracia hadn't even started the countdown when Reid's answer came out.

"Oh..." Gracia pretended to be annoyed, "You guys are so boring..."

"Okay babygirl." Morgan laughed. "Tell me what surprise you have for us."

"I checked in the database. A similar case happened four months ago in Galveston, Texas. The deceased had his throat cut and his kidneys were taken away."

"A lot of people moved there after the hurricane." Elle touched her chin. "The murderer should have settled there temporarily along with the crowd."

"I think I'm such a genius..." Gracia smiled to herself while eating her snack.

"Thanks, Gracia..." Hotch hung up the phone. "Prentiss, Morgan, Reid, I want you to take the fastest flight to Texas and find out about the victim's family."

It's not a big problem to understand the situation. In the past, Emily must have readily agreed, but this time the situation is... quite special.She looked at Hotch helplessly, but Hotch had already lowered his head and continued to look at the file, not noticing Emily's little emotion.

"Don't worry, I will take care of your family." Jessie looked at Emily's loveless eyes, "You can take off with peace of mind..."

Emily didn't want to take off, she just wanted to kick the sheriff who was standing by the wall as if he hadn't woken up...

Emily followed Reid and Morgan out of the police station slowly, and the rest of them continued to sit around the table and analyze the remaining information.

"JONES." Will said, pointing to a letter carved on the table, the only thing my father left me before he died. "I searched the database for criminals throughout New Orleans and found nothing."

"If your father wrote the criminal's name." Elle looked at the bewildered Will, "then you have caught her now, Jones, it must be a puzzle left by your father, and he believes you can solve it." open."

"I know." Will nodded, "I just didn't want to disappoint him."

JJ frowned and looked at several people, "The murderer contacted your father not because he was the detective in charge of this case, but because she thought he could understand."

"What if she is imitating-rape-her man?" Elle pointed to a few lines in the letter, "It says in the letter that he wanted to get drunk...he asked for it...", she looked at Will, "Does your father have a partner?"

"I have a partner, J.R. SMITH. But they lost contact 9 years ago..." Will suddenly stopped, "There is a bar in French Quarter, it was called JONES 9 years ago."

"I'm calling Gracia." Jessie pulled out her phone.

"I cross-contrasted William Lamontagne with Jones Bar." The sound of Gracia typing on the keyboard came through the speaker, "On February 1998, 2, the police were called to Jones Bar due to riots. It seems to be the last day before April Lent .”

"Great, Gracia." Hotch motioned the crowd to the bar. "Call that Smith, he must know something."

"Yes, Sir..." Gracia was still immersed in Hotch's praise just now, and she didn't recover for a long time, "You are the most insightful..."

"You guys bring out these old things, I hope you can give me a convincing reason." As soon as Jessie and Elle walked into the Jones bar, they heard the arrogant tone of the person sitting in front of them .

"An annoying attitude." Elle whispered in Jessie's ear, "If I were in Seattle or New York, this kind of person would be easy for me to beat up."

"You can hit him now too," Jessie whispered, biting her ear.

"It depends on his performance..."

"I hope you still remember when I went to the police with my dad." Will said peacefully.

"We're from the FBI." Hotch showed his credentials, "Would you mind telling us what happened that day?"

"I remember it clearly." Smith's voice softened. "After all, that incident almost cost me my career. Fortunately, the bosses above supported me. They finally transferred your father."

"It was the last day before Ramadan and a girl called the police saying she had been -raped, but do you know how -sexy- she was? She was just looking for the right opportunity... she said She called for help, but there was no proof..."

"Is this the riot you documented?" Elle frowned. "Just because of what she was wearing, do you think she asked for it?"

"The case has been settled." Smith replied not to be outdone, "So what?"

"you……"

Jessie stopped Elle, who was about to explode, and handed Smith some photos of the crime scene. "No, all the things you saw were done by this girl who you think is very coquettish." She leaned down and looked directly at Smith, "You can tell us, you think this so-called indecently dressed girl name?"

"Sarah Dalin..." Garcia tapped on the keyboard, "You are so efficient. Here is her address: 1141 Sherman Street. By the way, she seems to be a medical student at Tulane University, but she has dropped out."

"It was February 1998, right?" Jessie asked.

"Yes."

"We found her." Morgan and Reid heard Hotch's voice as soon as they returned to the office.

"No way..." Emily was a little confused, "We just went to Texas for a visit, and we already got the murderer's address here?"

"Our group's unique style." Morgan patted Emily on the shoulder, "Just get used to it."

"Wait..." Reid yelled at a group of people who were in a hurry to leave, "Some experts speculate that Jack the Ripper was the last victim killed in his rented apartment."

JJ's footsteps stopped at the door, "Gracia said her credit card was used at the Dynasty Jewel Hotel."

Hotch thought for a few seconds, "Let's go to the hotel first, she probably has the next victim."

Morgan kicked open the door of the hotel, aiming his guns at the woman with her back to the door, holding a knife at the man who was tied up on the bed.

"What are you waiting for?" There was contempt in her voice, "Shoot."

"I'll talk to her." Elle put down the gun.

"I'll do it." Will put the gun aside, "Sarah, my name is William Lamontagne Jr. Do you remember my father? If you trust her, trust me too..."

"What about others..." Sarah turned her head with tears in her eyes.

"Killed in the hurricane." Will took the knife from Sarah's hand and tossed it aside.

Well, it's all over.

"There are wives and children at home and they come out to have sex..." Elle watched the special police rescue the man with several bloodstains from the hotel, "In my opinion, that guy doesn't deserve sympathy at all."

"Compared to these men, I love that girl more." Jessie shook her head and sighed.

"The case is over." JJ looked at Will who was sitting beside the police car, "His father will be proud of him."

"Agent Jareau." Will stopped JJ, who was following Elle and his party to get into the car, "I know it's presumptuous, and I don't have much experience. Excuse me, are you married?"

The few people walking in front were all taken aback when they heard the words, and even Jessie turned her head curiously, waiting for JJ's answer.

"I'm not married, but I have someone I love deeply, and I'm sure that she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with." JJ remembered what Jessie had said to herself while lying on the hospital bed. It's a husband in this world, but it's a pity that they have no fate in this time and space.

Will smiled awkwardly, "So, excuse me. I wish you happiness, JJ." He scratched his head, "I heard your colleagues call you that."

"I hope you can find your own happiness as soon as possible." JJ smiled, turned and got into the car.

"That's not love." Reid got into the car and muttered, "It's just a heartbeat."

"Quick, quick." Elle drove the car, looking towards the back seat, "Express your opinion."

"Love is like planting a tree. You need to irrigate, maintain, and remove insects...but this kind of relationship is more like a crush."

"Crush?" Jessie, who was sitting in the co-pilot, didn't understand for a moment.

"Short, hot, shy romance," Morgan added, ruffling Reid's hair. "Am I right? prettyboy?"

Reid didn't respond.After a long time, I looked out the window and whispered.

"Ialsohadacrushonher." He lowered his head and whispered.

Before everyone could take a breath after returning to the headquarters, Strauss dragged Emily into the office, and Hotch also entered the office of the bureau leader.

"What's wrong?" Elle looked at Jessie puzzled. "They'll be fine."

"I don't know either." Jessie shook her head, "Maybe it's because of work..."

"Not necessarily..." JJ winked, "Every time she appears, there must be nothing good."

"It's time for Agent Hotcher's career to end." Strauss said to Emily who was sitting across from him. "Agent Prentiss, at the time he felt that your entry into the BAU was too reckless, but I defied the odds and kept you here, are you willing to help me now?"

Emily was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable.

"The Pentagon has taken a fancy to Jennifer Jareau's professional ability, and the transfer application has been on my side." She waved the document in her hand, "If you are willing to stay, I can let Jennifer Jareau be your deputy."

Emily bit her lip and said nothing.

"Everyone." Strauss came out of the office. "From now on, Arran Hotcher is temporarily suspended, and I will temporarily serve as the team leader." She looked at the few people standing downstairs. "Besides that, I have a few more things to say."

The author has something to say: The next chapter preview:

The knocking on the door continued endlessly, JJ finally couldn't take it anymore, threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed, put on Emily's gown casually, and opened the door angrily.

Hotch stood obediently outside the door, and when he saw JJ, he was stunned, and his eyes moved to one side instantly.
