[Comprehensive Anglo-American] A genius report on love

Chapter 35 Makeup Artist

A few minutes later, Penelope Garcia transmitted the data through the mobile phone.

The serial murder case that needs to be profiled this time is also caused by the disappearance case.

The incident happened in New York, and it started with the disappearance of several young girls.

They have nothing in common in appearance, and they are all at the age of seventeen or eighteen, who are relatively free.

After receiving several reports, the police did not connect the disappearances together at first because the search was fruitless and no unnamed female corpse was found.

Most of them think that it may be the rebellious period of young people who went to other cities to play with their lovers, classmates, and friends talking to themselves, and have not notified their family members.

But just last week, they suddenly discovered two abandoned female corpses, both of whom had been reported missing a few days before.

One was drained of blood, and the other was boiled and cut into countless pieces.

The New York Police Department began to realize that things were unusual, and suspected that the two murders were committed by the same person, so they urgently contacted Bau for help.

When the case information and the pictures of the abandoned corpse scene were sent to Aaron Hozner's desk, he decided to lead the whole team to New York as soon as possible. Ya.

After Mia left, Bau was short of a knowledgeable and experienced female profiler for a while, and her intuition told her that Mia's participation would be greatly needed in this case.

*******************************************************************************

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Hozner and his party arrived in New York, and Mia went to the New York Police Department immediately after receiving the call.

Only Neil and Sherlock were left in the room, two people who didn't like each other very much.

Due to legal and procedural restrictions, Mia cannot share specific information about the case with the two.

However, Neil has never been interested in violent crimes. Sherlock is bored in New York and wants to know what happened. Mia can only answer that he should have a news broadcast in a while.

Mia and her colleagues from the behavior analysis team met at the police station. They first briefly exchanged the known facts of the case to ensure that the information Mia knew was not missing.

Then they began to ask the police to expand the scope of investigation, to find missing girls of similar age for at least half a year to a year, or to compare murder cases with similar circumstances to determine the specific number of victims.

After that, Hozner began to assign work, and jj was still in charge of news and public relations. Before they determined the scope of the victims and the murderer's means and purpose of the murder, jj needed to control the media and stop publicizing it to cause panic among the people.

The forensic doctor has sent detailed autopsy reports on the two corpses, but Mia decided to go and see the corpses in person with Rhett.

Rossi and Morgan are responsible for collecting evidence at the site of the abandoned corpse and observing the surrounding environment.

Hotzner remained in charge of contacting the families of the deceased.

Meanwhile, Garcia, who remains in Quantico, has stepped up his investigation into the connection between the two dead.

******************************************************************************

Two young bodies lay on the operating table in the autopsy room.

One was pale and bloodless, with a ferocious expression, and the other had been cut into several pieces and was only put together after the autopsy.

Even after so many years, when the forensic doctor lifted the white cloth covering his body, Reid still glanced over his head unaccustomed, and calmed down for a few seconds before turning his gaze over.

By the way, Mia opened the file of the deceased and took a look.

The two deceased were both 17 years old this year. They were high school students. Their schools, family backgrounds, hair color, and eye color were all different, and there was no connection at all. They are all beautiful, and they can be regarded as girls who can dress up and care about their appearance.

According to police records, the girl whose blood was drained was named Helen Rossetti. The police received a report from her parents three days ago, saying that her daughter had lost contact.

After investigation, it was found that Helen lost contact with her friends on the way to watch a basketball game five days ago. It was originally agreed to go together, but because Helen felt a little uncomfortable in the morning, she finally made an appointment to meet at the basketball court, but In the end, that friend didn't wait for Helen. She thought it was because Helen's condition worsened and she didn't go, so she didn't answer the phone.

Helen’s parents didn’t see their daughter when they got home that day, and they thought she was going out to have a carnival with friends after watching the football game, so they didn’t care. The next day they went out to work early in the morning, and when they came back at night, they found that Helen had never returned home, so they called to ask It was not until her friend found out that she had been missing for two days.

Another girl who was dismembered was named Alice Queller. She disappeared earlier than Helen. Six nights ago, Alice went to a friend's house to attend a party. She played late and called her parents to tell her about it. She stayed at a friend's house temporarily for one night, but in the end she decided to go home, but the road home never came to an end.

Mia: "The autopsy report stated that both Helen and Alice died two days ago, which means that they were imprisoned by the murderer for three to four days respectively. There was no trace of sexual assault, no beating or other Scars of abuse, it doesn't look like the killers grabbed them with the intent of sexual convenience."

Reid nodded, "That's true. The cause of Helen's death was excessive blood loss. It seems that she was drained of blood to death while she was alive. There are no other injuries or traces of drugs. Alice's dismembered body It was also caused after death, the cause of her death was suffocation, the murderer should have strangled her to death with fine objects first, and then cut and cooked her. In fact, neither of them died very painfully."

"And, look at Helen, the murderer even put on makeup for Helen before she died." Mia continued, "Also, the murderer's makeup skills don't seem to be bad."

"Really?" Reid tilted his head and looked again and again, "I really don't understand this aspect, are you sure it was drawn by the murderer before he died?"

"It is impossible for any woman to maintain her original makeup after being imprisoned for three or four days. Whether it is skin oil, tears, or sweat, the makeup will be washed away. Do you think a woman who is imprisoned and dying will still Want to touch up your own makeup? Besides, you can see that the style of Helen's makeup is different from her usual style in the profile photos, and this makeup method is a bit like the style of a professional makeup artist."

"So, we can already narrow down the scope of the profile." After examining the corpse, Reid couldn't wait to leave this eerie place, "Go back and synthesize the information with Rossi and the others first."

Back at the police station, Rossi and Morgan also brought some information from the scene.

Based on the situation of the two parties, Morgan called Garcia to search for information.

"Hi, handsome~ Do you miss me?"

"Honey, I've been thinking of you, but now everyone in the house is here." Morgan reminded her that it was work time.

"Oh well, what do you need help with?"

"We have a lead and the killer appears to be a professional with a deep knowledge of cosmetics and make-up."

"Okay, handsome guy, but even with this condition, the number of qualified professional makeup artists in New York is nearly a thousand. Excluding some of the deceased who were not in New York at the time of death, there are 731 people. Are there any other clues?"

"Usually this type of murderer should encounter some setbacks in their daily work and is not satisfied." Mia added, "You can get rid of some makeup artists whose careers are currently on the rise or who are well-known in the industry."

"Well, there are still 552 people."

Reid: "Although the murderer can't see any obvious personal preference in the selection, what is certain is that his targets are all young and beautiful women, so the murderer should have screened through some channels in advance, and then secretly observed every selected candidate. The girl's life and rest, waiting for an opportunity. He should at least have a vehicle that can hold two victims."

"No, the range is still very large."

"The place where the body was abandoned was in a relatively secluded street, and few people pass by, so the murderer should be familiar with the streets of New York. He was born in New York at least or has lived and worked for more than ten years." Rossi began to talk about him. According to the on-site investigation, "draining blood, cutting, cooking corpses, and holding hostages all require a relatively spacious and secret place, as well as a large number of tools, to exclude those who do not have these conditions and places."

"Well, it's much less now, but it's still 132 people."

Hozner was coming out of the reception room at this time, and JJ was still talking with the family members of the victim inside. Rossi gave Hozner a questioning look, and the latter shook his head.

It seems that the family members of the deceased did not have any useful news.

The sheriff in charge of the case also sent the latest missing person information.

According to Bau's request, the time limit for missing persons was expanded, and as expected, six or seven missing girls met the requirements.

It's just that their bodies were never found.

Morgan: "If our speculation is correct, then the girls have already been killed before. What made the murderer suddenly change the way of dumping the corpse?"

Mia turned her head and asked the sheriff: "Have there been any construction or maintenance projects recently? Since none of the previous corpses have been found, the murderer should have chosen an inaccessible place or buried it underground."

"Uh..." The sheriff was silent, he was really not familiar with this.

"Look at this!" While they were discussing, Rhett quickly browsed the news papers of this week in New York, and finally found a piece of news from a few days ago, "The newspaper said that there is an abandoned garbage treatment plant on the outskirts of the city to be remodeled." , the preliminary plan may build a green park.”

"Yes, yes." The sheriff finally remembered the useful information, "This garbage disposal plant was closed many years ago, but it has not been taken over due to debts and other relations, so it was abandoned there. There are still some Scavengers and homeless people go back to pick up some useful things and sell them for money. After a long time, there is nothing to pick up. Two years ago, a child accidentally broke into it to play and died there. No one went there anymore. .”
