After the team members came back, not to mention Zhao Changqing, even Megan Kane found out that something was wrong with Reid, not to mention this time, everyone in the group seemed very depressed.

According to Zhao Changqing's reminder, the BAU team quickly found the wife's son and found evidence that the wife had no direct relationship with the dead girls. All the murders were committed by her husband.

But Gideon could not save her.

Yes, he couldn't save her.

Because she cried and begged Gideon not to reverse the case for her, because she didn't want her son to live in the strange eyes of others as the son of a serial killer.

The woman almost stepped into the electric chair with a grateful and contented smile.But what she left for Gideon and the entire BAU team was deep pain.

Every member of the BAU team came together because of the sense of justice in their hearts. They worked together in case after case, got acquainted with each other and cooperated with each other to form a tacit understanding.And what drives the team to do this is because they want to save innocent people one by one.

But this mother was the first person the team could not save in so many years.

Not to mention the look on the mother's face when she stepped into the electric chair.

After such a thing happened, everyone in the group was doomed to be in a bad mood. Therefore, everyone chose to go to different places to relax this weekend: Rhett took Zhao Changqing to Las Vegas to visit Day Anna and Morgan continued to look for a new girlfriend, and even Gideon also visited his old friend, and at the same time, Max Ryan, one of the veterans of the BAU.

The BAU veteran has retired to live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.He's in DC this time for the launch of his new book, in which Max highlights a serial killer who calls himself the Keystone Killer, a guy who killed seven women in the 80s and then 18 years ago Suddenly stopped.

Of course, the police and FBI never caught him.

Max Ryan had been hoping to catch him.

And then, at the end of the signing, when Max sat down with Gideon to talk, someone had the security on the set give him an envelope.

Inside the envelope was the Keystone Killer's signature crossword puzzle, and two driver's licenses, one belonging to Amy Jennis, the last known victim 18 years ago, when she was 23, when she died, her children, A little baby is next door.

The other driver's license apparently belonged to the new victim.

[Who doesn't yearn for black water? ]

[You and I are part of a book, Max, why don't we add a few more chapters? ]

Gideon was filled with apprehension at the words on the Keystone Killer's signature crossword notice.

How many chapters to add?

It's no different than simply saying "I'm going to kill a few more people"!

In the early hours of Saturday, before dawn, the members of the BAU team entered the Quantico FBI Headquarters building again under the starlight.

This time, Max Ryan will be with them as a special advisor.

To be honest, everyone is very curious about this old detective. Reid can report every achievement of this old detective. As for Morgan:

"I heard that he was forced to retire."

Hodge's even voice said, "No, he's voluntarily retiring. He's writing a new book about the Keystone Killer, and he's living in Philadelphia to be close to the crime scene."

Ellie said: "Is this also called retirement?"

Morgan said: "It's very BAU."

Everyone shrugged and skipped the cold joke.

Yes, such things happen endlessly in the BAU and the FBI. Even if they receive generous pensions, only they know the bitterness and heaviness in it.

When everyone entered the conference room, Max Ryan was writing something in his notepad, but when he saw Zhao Changqing who came in behind Rhett, he couldn't help frowning even with Max's determination as a BAU veteran Head: "Why didn't I know that the FBI started to use child labor? And they brought two beasts as pets."

His eyes couldn't help but stay on two big cats obediently following Zhao Changqing.No matter how well-behaved these two big cats are, and how dedicated they are to guarding Zhao Changqing, it is hard to change the fact that they are beasts at the level of hunters, especially the puma, which is the king of the grassland!

Gideon had to explain: "This is Agent James Hamilton, he is very talented in hostage search and rescue."

"Hi, Senior Ryan, nice to meet you. You can call me Jamie."

"Hostage search and rescue? This is indeed an exceptional reason."

As the veteran of the BAU, MaxRyan is very clear about what things can make the FBI open the door.

"Excuse me, do you have the latest announcement from that guy?"

"Yes. Would you like to have a look?"

"Of course. If you don't mind."

Max Ryan hesitated for a moment, but still handed the paper to Zhao Changqing instead of Red.

Rhett immediately leaned over.

Those letters that are neatly arranged in square formations like an army silently tell countless messages.

Rhett suddenly raised his head and said, "A black bra and gray wool socks, what's so special about them?"

"The last known victim, Amy, she was wearing."

Morgan was dumbfounded: "But, not every serial killer can remember such details!"

"Some serial killers will take pictures, take pictures, and then develop and print them by themselves, and slowly savor and recall them in the days to come."

Rhett added: "There was no struggle at the rear window. Is this Amy's case too?"

"No, it's not. In Amy's case, this guy came in through the front door, and there's a lot of evidence that Amy resisted fiercely. So, this sentence is not about Amy, but about our latest victim."

Carla Bromwell.

Owner of another driver's license.

Zhao Changqing narrowed his eyes suddenly, he pulled away suddenly, walked under the desk lamp next to him, faced the light, and looked closely at the piece of paper.

Rhett couldn't help but said: "Hey! Come on, Jamie, I haven't finished watching it yet!"

While turning the paper in his hand, Zhao Changqing said without turning his head, "Do you think a copycat, or if he is the successor, would he go and find a piece of paper that was at least 15 years ago?"

Morgan immediately jumped up: "What do you mean?"

"Look at these lines." Zhao Changqing pointed to the piece of paper and said, "There is a saying that the lines on the paper are the DNA of each piece of paper and their birth certificate. As a collection, distinguishing the age of paper and books from the texture of the paper is part of aristocratic cultivation. Paper in the natural environment will change with changes in temperature and humidity, especially in the United States, where four seasons are distinct The changes of the four seasons will leave traces on the paper. The difference between one-year paper and five-year paper may not be so big, but the paper within three years is different from the paper of ten or even nearly 20 years. The difference is still quite big. I can’t imagine keeping a piece of paper from more than ten years ago, and then using it today more than ten years later...”

"You mean, this piece of paper is actually from 20 years ago..."

"This is impossible!"

Max Ryan blurted out.

Zhao Changqing said: "There is nothing impossible. Agent Max, I have a vague feeling that maybe this guy has already determined who he wants to kill 20 years ago."

Hodge quickly looked at the driver's license on the screen:

"Carla Bromwell, 47 years old."

Morgan interjected, "She was 18 29 years ago. Right in that guy's hunting range."

Ellie shook her head and said, "I can't even imagine it! He decided to kill these women a long time ago?"

Zhao Changqing raised the paper in his hand, and said: "It takes skill to accommodate enough information in the same piece of paper, no, it should be said that the more information you hide, the more information you hide. , the fewer letters we use, the higher the cultural level of our unknown suspect. If Ms. Carla Bromwell's death does not exceed twelve hours..."

"How about it?"

"It's almost enough to prove my words. This guy, maybe before he entered the victim's house, he had imagined what would happen after he entered. He killed the victim once in his imagination, and then Prepare this notice, and then visit the victim. After killing the victim in reality, he found with great satisfaction that everything was exactly as he expected, and then he left such a paper at the scene..."

"There is no paper in Amy's case!"

"This does not mean that the victim below us must not have such paper in her house."

Max Ryan said angrily: "Nonsense! If the Keystone Killer did something, I should know..."

Zhao Changqing shrugged and said, "Who knows. After all, this guy was crazy 18 years ago. It's enough for the local police to replace at least a whole batch. Therefore, it's not necessarily that there is something missing on the scene."

Morgan said: "So, what about the different methods of murder, and the time interval? Our new victim was suffocated to death, not strangled to death like the previous victim. Suffocated to death, it doesn't feel right at all." The pleasure of seeing the victim's life leave her body!"

Zhao Changqing replied: "I said it. Before the murderer committed the crime, he had already simulated it in his mind, and then the victim's reaction was exactly the same as he simulated. Therefore, the change of the murder method has changed. Strange. Because everything went according to his plan, he was satisfied and left this paper..."

Hodge was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll see you on the plane in three or ten minutes. By the way, Jamie, you stay at the headquarters."

"Okay, I'll call Megan."
