back to the start

"Why are you guys?" Dorian emerged from the darkness with a serious face, "What's going on here?"

"Uncle Dorian." Elle breathed a sigh of relief, "It was a misunderstanding."

"I hope so too." Dorian waved his hand, and Jessie couldn't see the expression on his face against the light, "But I have to follow the rules. I just received a report that there was a murder here. Appeared here..." He looked at Jessie, "Especially you... with blood on your body and being grabbed by the dead..."

"I don't really mind going to the local police station with you guys." Jessie took her hand away from the man, "But Elle can't go? My officer is flying over from Quantico, and if Agent Greenaway also Being taken away, my chief might get lost..." She smiled a little far-fetched, "He's a road idiot..."

"Does your officer know you're here?" Dorian asked.

Jessie nodded.

"Take her back first." Dorian motioned for the others to take Jessie away.Turning to Elle, she said, "Go back to the hotel first."

"No..." Elle pulled Jessie who was shackled, and before she could speak, Jessie's deep voice sounded.

"Go back, listen. Hotch will find a way to prove my innocence."

Elle bit her lip, but didn't speak.

Jessie sighed, "Remember what Rossi taught you?"

"In case I'm not here one day, you have to keep calm and don't lose your footing."

Elle nodded reluctantly and let go.

"You have to come back."

"Your phone is ringing." In the office, while eating a cookie, Megan reminded Hotch who was still working late at night.

I was really too busy, instead of going shopping and clubbing, I ran over to look at the playing cards in front of me and worked overtime.But this guy is really a 100% workaholic who can maintain the same posture for hours.

Gee tut.

"Oh, thank you." Hotch finally had a reaction, he was taken aback when he saw the name displayed on the phone, glanced at the clock on the wall, and pressed the answer button.

"Elle, what's the matter?" He got up while holding his mobile phone, "I'll call them over immediately, you stay in the hotel. Don't go, don't go anywhere. I'll call the local government immediately to ensure your safety. "

"What's wrong?" Megan saw Hotch frowning, looking sad.

"One of my agents was framed as a murderer in a case." Hotch looked down on the phone, not forgetting to explain to Megan, "I have to call my team to solve it." He put the phone to his ear , "JJ? Oh, Emily, meet at the airport in half an hour, Jessie and Elle are in trouble."

"Hey...wait a minute." Megan strode to block Hotch who was about to step out of the office door, "Take me."

"This is no joke!" Hotch said seriously, "It's too dangerous for you to go."

"Are you concerned about me?" Megan managed to veer off course, grabbed Hotch's briefcase, and walked forward. "Thank you for your concern, but don't underestimate me, my profiling skills are not bad. Those two team members are in a relationship, right?"

Hotch shot her a look and responded.

"The eyes of lovers are different..." Megan entered the elevator and pressed down the floor first, looking at Hotch who was silent.

I see you in the same way.

dead wood...

She said silently in her heart.

"The police department refused to negotiate with us." On the plane, JJ looked at Hotch dejectedly, "They said this is just an ordinary case and does not need the FBI's intervention."

"But they have an FBI in their hands!" Reid was a little annoyed.

"I think the real murderer is in the police station." Hotch said leisurely, "Dave, Reid, Prentiss, go to the scene and conduct another search after you get off the plane. Be careful, they should have cleared most of the evidence, but There must be fish that slipped through the net."

"Morgan and JJ went to the hotel to meet Elle, sort out the thoughts of the past few days, and protect her safety." Hotch thought for a while, and added, "No one is allowed to take her away."

"The two of us will go to the police station to find their boss, right?" Megan looked at Hotch with a grin.

"Yeah..." Hotch realized that the little guy was also on the plane, looking at the phone in her hand, "What are you doing?"

"Contact the local government department." Seeing Hotch's puzzled face, she said, "Fool, do work relationships come faster than business ones?"

"But it's strange to say." Megan played with the phone, "It stands to reason that this type of case can be settled with a little money and some connections. But this time it seems difficult..."

"It can't be solved with money." Rossi shook his head, "What a fucking trouble."

Jessie walked into the interrogation room calmly and sat on a chair.

"Sign." The fierce police officer in front of her handed her a form.

"I don't sign this confession thing." Jessie refused without looking up.

"Okay..." the police officer sighed, "Then let's start asking, why did you appear at the scene of the crime?"

"Hasn't Dorian retired?" Jessie closed her eyes and thought for a moment, "Why do you still listen to him so much?"

"...Don't ask if you shouldn't." The police officer in front of him remained expressionless, "Answer the question."

"I have the right to remain silent." The little doctor felt that it was better to speak less at this special moment.

"You can keep silent." The police officer said sarcastically, "This is not a profile of the FBI. There are not a few people who have been tortured."

Beating into a trick? Jessie rolled her eyes calmly in her heart, it was useless to figure out her own thoughts, how to let Hotch and the others know the truth of the matter was her first consideration right now.Probably because of the oppressive atmosphere in the interrogation room, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Don't just hang up like this... I haven't proposed yet...

"Who captured my men?" Hotch slapped off the hand that was blocking the way, and walked straight into the police station.

"It's me." Dorian looked at Hotch, "We're just going through a process, and of course we hope to find the real culprit. Elle's father and I are colleagues, and I don't want this to happen."

"But." There was a trace of firmness in Dorian's seemingly apologetic voice, "This is not an FBI case, Captain."

"No." Megan handed the document in front of Dorian, shaking it, "You think we're here to protect the calf? We've received orders from above to handle the case."

"What?" Dorian reached out to grab the document, but Megan took it back. She looked at Dorian's hand hanging in the air and smiled, "Can we release our agent now?"

"I have to ask the higher-ups what it means." Dorian looked at the two people in front of him, "But you can see her, in the interrogation room."

"Only one person." He stared at Hotch. "The rules here."

Emily followed Reid to check the scene of the crime. The body had been dragged away, leaving only a pool of dark red blood, which was particularly eye-catching on the grass.

It was already daylight, and Emily looked at Rossi who was watching from the sidelines, "Anything new?"

"The surrounding area is open and there is no place for cover." The murderer knew the victim, and then killed him when he was not prepared.Calculated the right time and blamed Jessie. "

"The phone in the hotel is likely to have been tapped," Reid added. "Everything the killer did was to cover up what he did 25 years ago."

"So... the person he really wanted to kill was Elle?" Emily reacted, "It was just because of the circumstances at the time that he had to take Jessie away."

Reid nodded, "What I'm worried about now is how long that fake FBI document can fool those police officers."

"It will take a while." Rossi squatted down and looked at the blood-stained lawn, squinting his eyes for a long time. He reached out and pulled out a shiny gadget from the soil.

"What's this?" Reid and Emily approached.

"Buttons studded with diamonds." Rossi raised his eyebrows. "It seems our murderer has good taste."

"are you OK?"

Drowsy Jessie heard the call and raised her heavy eyelids.Ever since she heard the noise not far away, she knew that Hotch and the others were coming, but they stayed in the interrogation room for too long without a drop of water.Her head was still dizzy, and she couldn't maintain her best performance, but she heard that nice voice talking to the prison guard with a flattering tone.

After a while, only myself and the woman in front of me were left in the interrogation room.

"Hey, are you okay?"

The little doctor opened his eyes and saw Megan, "Why are you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Megan looked at Jessie's pale face, "They put you to death?"

"No, it's just that I'm not very used to the environment here." Jessie replied softly, "Don't tell Elle."

"I'm too lazy to care about your affairs." Megan sighed, "That old man is so stubborn, he has to be guarded by prison guards when he comes in to see you. Fortunately, I am naturally beautiful, and the prison guards are more sensible. Don't worry, we will rescue you. of."

Jessie shook her head, she cleared her mind a little, and there was no one around, the prison guard accepted Megan's favor and stood outside the door sensibly.She reached out and brushed Megan's hair, "It's messed up."

"The prison guards here change shift at 5 pm. There is a gap of 15 minutes." Megan patiently let Jessie rub her head for a long time, "It's not convenient to stay here for a long time, so I'll go first."

"Give me a word for Elle." Jessie said suddenly. "Sorry for worrying her."

"Why didn't you say you love her?" Megan was puzzled.

"She knows that I love her." The little doctor's eyes were bright, "It doesn't need to be said."

"Arron, let's go." Megan walked out of the interrogation room and gave Hotch a sweet smile.

so fast? Hotch was puzzled, so he left the police station with Megan.

Megan ran her hands through her hair, brushing her long hair behind her back.

Through her hair, she put a hairpin in her hand.

"Your little doctor asked me to bring you a message." Megan looked at Elle playfully, "Don't worry."

"And then?" Elle looked at Megan, who was smiling evilly, "She's alright."

"It's okay. There are still some things she wants to tell you personally, and it's not convenient for me to repeat them here." Megan handed the issuing card in her hand to the group in front of her, "What is this?"

"The problem we are going to solve." JJ took it, and said to Rossi who was beside him, "Strauss is already going to blow up my phone...she is very angry at us forging paperwork, do you want to go..."

"I'll take care of it." Rossi picked up her phone and walked out, "As long as she nods and agrees, we're not fake."

The author has something to say: Hotch: In order to avoid embarrassment, I will not come to the door to notify you, but you two must continue to show your love by calling! ! !

JJ&Emily: ...who asked you to call in the middle of the night (quietly...)
