Small popular science: [It doesn’t matter if you look at it or not.

Molière, formerly known as Jean Baptiste Poquelin (Jean Baptiste Poquelin), was a French comedy writer, actor, and theater activist in the seventeenth century.Founder of French ballet comedy.The more famous "Hypocrite" and "The Miser" are his works, and the "Wife School" mentioned in the article is also one of his works.

☆. The third letter: Actually, I knew you a year ago.

"Sherry, what are you up to, you haven't slept so late. Are you reading?" Mrs. Jones sat by Sherry's bed and took her hand.

Sherry glanced at the untouched letter on the table, smiled and said, "no, mom, I'm answering a letter. I want to send it tomorrow, so I plan to finish writing it before going to bed." She used The other empty hand held Mrs. Jones back, "Don't worry, it won't be very late, I'll finish writing soon, go to sleep."

"Okay, then go early, you have to work tomorrow. LoveyouBaby!" Mrs. Jones stood up and kissed Sherry on the cheek, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight mom." After Sherry kissed her back, she walked to the door, and paused again as she walked out the door, leaving a sentence. "It's agreed to go to bed after answering the letter, remember not to read your baby book!"

Sherry couldn't help stretching her neck and raising her voice, "I see, mom!"

She smiled softly and firmly, and then continued to pick up the pen. The warm light from the lamp at the corner of the table hit her face, creating a hazy beauty.

"Bang... bang bang..." Looking at the target in front of him that hadn't been shot, Reid felt that he would never love again, and he pursed his mouth in annoyance.

"Aim, pull the trigger, follow up, then aim again, what did you do wrong?" Hotch instructed Reid with his usual serious tone and expression.

"I didn't follow up." Reid lowered his head slightly, looking a little weak. "You know, if I don't pass the shooting test tomorrow, they'll take my gun back." He raised his head, his eyes widening.

"A profiler doesn't have to carry a gun." As a superior, Hotch was also a little helpless.

"Then why do you carry two~?"

Looking at the depressed Reid, Hotch decided to comfort him a little: "When I joined BAU, Gideon said to me, 'When you want to kill people, you don't have to have a gun'."

"I don't understand." Reid frowned and shook his head.

"You'll understand later. Good luck tomorrow." Hotch patted him on the shoulder and left the shooting range. Reid once again put on sound-isolating earmuffs.

So, Reid did not pass the test.He walked hurriedly, walked into the office with his head down, and arrived at the desk without making eye contact with anyone.

Morgan put a string of whistles on him with a sudden smile from behind, "I mean seriously, if you need help, blow the whistle~!" Oh!God knows Reid couldn't be happier staring at the whistle on his chest.What can I do, I am very unhappy if I fail the test!

However, the moment he sat down, he saw the familiar envelope on the table - ToSpencerReid.

Reid pursed his lips and opened the envelope:

"Dear Dr. Reid, see Suga.

About the question you asked me in your last letter.

First of all, please forgive me for sending you a letter when we don't know each other, maybe it makes you feel a little embarrassed.

But I want to say, actually, I knew you a year ago.

I mean, a year ago, when I first came to Bennington Nursing Home, I started chaperoning your mother, Mrs. Reid, and the person who was in charge of her told me on the first day that Mrs. Reid would Received a letter from my son that made me remember to give it to her every day.So, I knew you existed on the first day.

Mrs. Reid is a gracious and knowledgeable lady.Because of her erudition, I often ask her some academic questions in my daily relationship with her. In addition, she often exchanges some information about you with me, although sometimes it involves some of the things you send me. Please rest assured that the content does not contain any case information. As a medical worker, I can guarantee that I abide by professional ethics.

I think, as the FBI, you should also be able to know my identity, so the only reason that prompted me to send that letter, I think you should also understand, is Mrs. Reid.

Every afternoon, when the weather is fine, I will take Mrs. Reid to the garden of the nursing home to bask in the sun, where the scenery is not bad.And at this time, she will read the letter you send.

As for knowing your birthday, it was actually an accident.After reading your letter that day, Mrs. Reid told me as usual that you were going to San Diego for a new "adventure".Yes, adventure, that's the word she uses to describe your work, cute isn't it.

We all know that the emotions and behavior of paranoid schizophrenics are often dominated by hallucinations and delusions, and I thought she would, as usual, say something in her imagination about the subject of "adventures", but she didn't.

I clearly remember that she looked a little sad at that time, but her eyes were very gentle, she said: "Today is his birthday, 24 years old."

I think that Mrs. Reid may have wanted to express her blessings to you personally at that time, and I think that you, Dr. Reid, should be the one who is looking forward to this blessing the most, so I sent the letter, just hoping to convey it this mood.

To be honest, I didn't expect Dr. Reid to write back to me.Because after all, your work should be very busy, so busy that sometimes you may not even have time to visit your mother, so you may not communicate with a stranger you don't know.

But now what I want to tell you is that, as you can see through her eyes, your mother she really, really misses you, she talks about you every day, and looks forward to your coming more than anyone else.She might be lonely, so if you can, can you come and see her when you are not so busy?

Regards

Bennington Nursing Home Sherry Jones"

This letter is very long compared to last time.But for Reid, he should have read it quickly, but this time his reading took longer than every previous one.The further he read, the more he felt that he couldn't continue reading. There were turbulent and complicated emotions in his heart, and some thoughts lingering in his head made him unable to think normally as usual.He remained in the motion of reading the letter blankly, but his eye circles were a little red, his lips were tightly pressed, and his breathing was a little short, like a stabbed little animal.

"Reid, comeon, there is a new case, go to the conference room." Gideon's sudden words broke his state of confusion, Reid stuffed the letter into the drawer in a panic, coughed hard a few times, stood up, and took it indiscriminately Several files and notebooks were ready to go to the meeting, "Ok, I mean, I'll be there right away." When he got up, he accidentally knocked the coffee on the table to the ground, and a lot of it splashed on his clothes.

"Well, you can pack yourself first."

"Okay, okay, I see." Reid closed his eyes and stroked his forehead, picked up the paper cup and walked quickly to the bathroom. Gideon watched his back and frowned, thinking something might be wrong with Reid.

Reid, who came to the meeting room, has returned to his normal state, but he did not speak in the preliminary analysis of the case as before. He just carefully wrote down these opinions when everyone expressed their opinions, and has been thinking in silence.The crew thought he was still feeling bad about failing the fire test that morning, so no suspicions arose.Only Gideon, who had witnessed the scene just now, was worried about Reid's current situation in his heart.

After preliminary discussions, the BAU team boarded a plane to Des Plaines to formally investigate the case.

Las Vegas.

Because after sending the letter in the morning, Sherry seemed more relaxed after she had settled her mind.Happening at the end of the day at work, she decided to sit in on a psychology class at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

At present, her mother's condition is stable, and she has also received a good income, so for the future, Sherry wants to continue her original dream and plan again - to become a psychological counselor.

As we all know, it is very difficult to obtain a license as a psychological counselor in the United States.Not to mention Sherry's current situation, because she not only needs to further study and obtain a bachelor's degree and master's degree in psychology-related majors, but also needs to pass the national unified psychological counselor exam, Nevada's local relevant legal regulations and professional ethics exams, And before applying for a license, the supervisor guides and arranges to complete a fixed number of hours of psychological counseling practice time.Therefore, after learning about Sherry's thoughts, Mrs. Jones expressed her support and was very worried about her daughter's overwork.But she also knows that Sherry is a very resilient, intelligent and assertive girl, so while worrying, she tries to take care of herself as much as possible and take medicine to reduce her daughter's burden.

After Sherry saw her mother's silent encouragement, she became more determined in her pursuit, and made a lot of efforts to realize her dream. Part of this was going to famous schools to attend courses in her spare time.

When Sherry entered the large classroom, the lecturer hadn't arrived yet, and there were not many people in the classroom. Because she was an auditor, she still chose a seat at the back.She sorted out the textbooks and notebooks she had prepared, opened the book, and began to pre-read the part to be explained this time.

As time passed bit by bit, the number of people in the classroom increased. When it was almost full, a middle-aged Caucasian woman who looked a little serious walked into the classroom. She is the lecturer of this class and also A professor that Sherry has been listening to - Sharon Green. Ms. Green's teaching content and style are the same as the impression she gave to others, very rigorous and full of theory, so that Sherry can better start from scratch and lay a solid foundation for learning.

The course officially started after the lecturer arrived, and Sherry followed Ms. Green's train of thought and slowly immersed herself in it.

Sherry spent a busy and fulfilling week in the cycle of going to the nursing home to accompany Mrs. Reid, auditing psychology classes, going home to take care of her mother, and reading.

The BAU team that caught the long-distance shooting serial killer is on a return flight.

Because Reid killed a criminal with a gun for the first time, turned the tide, and successfully saved the lives of himself and Hotch at a critical moment, he was specially approved to get a new gun from Hotch, and the team members also expressed their gratitude to him for this feat. Well-meaning appreciation.

When the other team members found comfortable positions and took a short break during the journey, Reid sat alone in front of the low table. He was really happy that he was able to get back the gun this time, but there are still two Something bothered him... When he was frowning, Gideon sat across from him with a cup of coffee, "Reid, can you tell me what happened?" I have to say, this elderly wise man Perception is strong.He looked at Reid with eyes full of tolerance.

Reid hesitated, his eyes drifted a little, he opened his mouth, then closed it, and then looked into Gideon's eyes, and opened his mouth, "I, actually want to do something, but sometimes, Er... I will I think, if I really do it, maybe it will remind me of bad things and cause bad consequences... You know, I am a little scared, yes, I am scared." After finishing speaking, his eyes dropped again, His shoulders were a little relaxed, but his tone was still low, "But I know it's not good."

"Did you know, Reid, there is a saying 'Hope and fear are inseparable, without hope there is no fear, without fear there is no hope'." Gideon looked at the sky outside the window, his eyes far away "You are afraid , to prove that you have expectations and hopes for this matter. Have you ever thought that what you are afraid of may only be the result after the event happens, but how can you get such a result if you don’t do it? Always avoid Or moving away from the source of the fear does not solve the problem, you can learn to approach it slowly, let yourself understand it, and finally overcome it."

Reid raised his head, he didn't look at Gideon, but there seemed to be some relief between his brows and eyes.

He was touched by the content described in the letter. Since he sent his mother to the Bennington Nursing Home at the age of 18, they have not seen each other for 6 years. It is not that he does not desire family affection, and he will also miss his mother who grew up with him , but as long as he thinks that he may inherit his mother's disease in the future and become such a mental patient who cannot take care of himself like her, it will be difficult for him to face her now. He is very afraid, because his mother was seriously ill when he was a teenager , The father left, the family was broken and fearful, but also the fear of his own future.So he didn't see her, didn't dare to talk to her, and then he felt guilty more and more.Until the appearance of that letter broke the psychological balance he had been carefully maintaining. Gideon was right, running away wouldn't take away his fear.

He can try to change some things, he can't always live in that false balance that he constructed.

PS: Please take a look at what the author has to say.Thanks

The author has something to say: In this chapter, what Sherry expressed stimulated Reid, because she really didn't know much about Reid's character and past.

But from her point of view, she cares more about Mrs. Reid's feelings, so she is more emotionally inclined to Reid's mother and the weak in the nursing home, so she said those words in the letter.

Here, I also want to explain that the setting of this article is a story of two people growing up through acquaintance, becoming stronger and falling in love.

Setting up such a plot is not only to stimulate Reid to open his heart, let each other have a deeper communication, and prepare for the following plot concept (this is a breakthrough);

It is also to achieve the purpose of making Reid's heart stronger and making him grow.

In the original drama, the relationship between him and his mother is the part that worries me all the time.

Here, I want to make some changes to make the result of the two more satisfactory.

So, please don't hate Sherry who stimulated R Bao.She is a kind and honest child. TAT

Finally, thank you for reading the article every day!If you have any questions, you can communicate with me.

Special thanks to Little Angel 397 for fueling me up for two days.Thanks!

☆. The fourth letter: I mean...maybe we can communicate all the time?

Gideon sat quietly for a while, then stood up, and took out the chess set from the small storage cabinet on the other side of the plane, "Want to play a game of chess?" He could tell that the boy in front of him was Yes, boy, have been slowly coming out of my negativity.He was somewhat relieved, after all, the saplings had to learn to withstand the wind and rain by themselves before they could grow into towering trees.

"Why not~?" Reid, who has never been able to beat Gideon in chess, became full of desire when he heard this proposal, but he seemed to suddenly recall the heart-pounding exchange just now, and became a little shy. "I mean...thank you, Gideon." He scratched his curly hair, then nimbly took the chess pieces in Gideon's hand, and began to put his head down one by one.

Gideon looked at the twirl of hair on top of Reid's head, and smiled helplessly.Well, it's very Reid.

Located in Nevada, USA, Las Vegas, known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World", ushered in the morning sun. Sherry opened the bedroom window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and prepared to start a new day of life.She packed herself up, finished the breakfast she prepared with her mother, and was about to go to work in the nursing home.

"Good-bye, Mom, I'm going to work, call me if you have something to do. There is a prepared lunch in the refrigerator in the kitchen, you remember to reheat it before eating at noon, and there are individually packaged medicines on the dining table, after your lunch You must also remember to eat it, you can take a nap in the afternoon, and I will bring dinner back at night." As usual, Sherry told her mother repeatedly, and took the key hanging above the shoe cabinet, ready to go out.

"Sherry~" When she was about to open the door to leave, she heard her mother's call, so she stopped and turned to look at her mother suspiciously.

Mrs. Jones took a step forward, hugged her lightly and kissed her on the cheek, "Cheers kiss in the morning, Loveyoumybabygirl."

"Loveyoutoo, Mom." Sherry saluted a little playfully, walked out of the house with a smile, well, today is a beautiful day :-D.She came to Bennington Nursing Home in a good mood all the way, and Linda at the front desk couldn't help joking, "Is there something wrong recently~? Sherry."

"Actually, not at all." Sherry pursed her mouth pretending to be regretful.

"Don't quibble, look, this is the second letter from the same person this month! He also said that there is no situation!" Linda immediately pulled out a letter and slapped it in front of her, smiling a bit slyly.

Sherry picked up the envelope and looked at it, feeling a little helpless, "This is not my situation. Forget it, I'm going to change my clothes first, thank you, Linda." After taking the letter from Mrs. Reid, she entered the lounge .

After changing into her overalls, she looked at the white envelope in her bag, feeling a little depressed. She herself expected that Dr. Reid would come to see Mrs. Reid directly, but looking at it this way, it should be unlikely... Okay , then let me see what you wrote first.

"Miss Jones, see Nobuka.

In your last letter, you talked about some issues about my mother. You said that considering her current situation, you hoped that I could visit her...

I think I should first thank you for your concern for my mother.

And at present, I really have no way to visit her for some reasons, so maybe, I can't agree to your request at present, I hope you can forgive me.

But, I mean...maybe we can always communicate from now on?

Because, in fact, I really want to know something about my mother, and you know, she has never replied to me; I have been unable to see her for some reason, so, can you please make it convenient Please tell me about her situation, after all, you are the one who can get close to and understand her best.

So, can I please you?

Regards

Spencer Reid"

Sure enough, Dr. Reid is currently unable to visit his mother.

Sherry even felt that his reason for evading was really far-fetched, but maybe he did have some unspeakable secrets?Just looking at the contents of the letter, it can be seen that he actually cares about Mrs. Reid, otherwise he would not have made such a request.In fact, there's no need for him to lie to her about this kind of thing, right? There's no stake in them at all, and it's pointless to lie.And as Mrs. Reid's son, no matter what, he shouldn't ignore his mother, let alone he is an FBI.

So, thinking this way, Sherry decided to agree to his request.

but!What is "Can we keep communicating in the future?"!What the hell is this ambiguous expression tone! Sherry couldn't help frowning, and then stuffed the letter back into the envelope.

It just so happened that Tracy, who was on the last shift at this moment, pushed open the door of the lounge, "Good morning, Sherry, you came early! My side is over."

Sherry stood up holding the letter, walked over and gave her a high five, "Okay, it's my turn, you go home and rest, Tracy." Tracy was amused by her action.

At the moment, Reid, who is in Maryland and working with the team members, can't feel Sherry's inner complaints.They are investigating a series of recent family killings.

At present, the case has reached a critical point. The BAU has identified the unknown suspect. However, the scary thing is that the suspect named Karl may be committing crimes. They finally locked the Dunken family according to the information. When he entered the house, Karl was indeed committing crimes.

However, Karl who was arrested did not plead guilty. Gideon wisely changed the photos of the victim's body in the victim's family to stimulate Karl to react, and the case was finally settled.It’s just that when the criminal said the reason for the crime, everyone was silent and indignant. He said that he wanted to let the fathers see that when the head of the family is not strong enough, what will happen to the family, the wife will disappear, and the children will die young. And only at this time, he can become the best father.

"Maliciousness is a desire to hurt others for no reason, and the purpose is to gain pleasure from comparison." Looking at Karl who looked crazy, Reid suddenly thought of this sentence.But he always feels that Karl cannot get happiness when he hurts others, because the process of committing the crime reminds him time and time again that even if he kills others and destroys other people's families, he will never be able to call back his lover and children. I can't save my family.He thought of himself again, his mother, and the letter he mustered up the courage to send...

"Mrs. Reid, it's raining outside today, let's sit in the activity room for a while." Looking at the bad weather outside the window, Sherry said to Mrs. Reid, who was swallowing pills, "Let's find a corner with few people, you You can read a book quietly for a while."

"I really don't like rain," Mrs. Reid complained. "Whenever it rains, the dragon will appear, and I have to hide in the underground palace with those dwarves." Obviously, she was thinking about something again.

But Mrs. Reid is really tall, Sherry couldn't help but think so.As she helped the woman sit on the wheelchair, she continued following her words, "It's okay, Dr. Reid and the others went on an adventure again, probably to kill the dragon, and when they successfully wiped out the monster, the sky should soon It'll clear up." Well, Sherry gave herself full marks for her ability to make up stories.

However, Mrs. Reid seemed to agree with her very much, "You are right, let's be patient for a while." She was also a little dumbfounded.

The room was very close to the activity room, and they arrived soon, but probably because of the weather today, the patients couldn't go out to bask in the sun as before, so there were many people in the activity room and it was a bit noisy.

Mrs. Reid immediately expressed a little fear when she saw such a scene. She covered her mouth with one hand, and her expression was a little strange, "Sherry, there are too many people here, let's go." She covered her mouth with the other hand He grabbed Sherry's right forearm firmly. Sherry can only take her back to the room quickly, in case she suddenly becomes ill and hurts herself.She didn't expect that there would be so many people in the activity room at first, because under normal circumstances, many patients should be taking a nap during this time period.

Mrs. Reid has not let go of her hand, and there is a trend of getting stronger and stronger. She knows that it will not work if it continues like this. "Ma'am, It's OK, we're safe." Sherry squatted down close to the woman, holding the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with both hands, so that Mrs. Reid could only watch her, she slowed down and said in a steady tone : "Madam, look at me and breathe out slowly, it's okay, we're safe. Did you hear me, we're safe!"

After several deep breaths, Mrs. Reid finally relaxed a little bit. She relaxed the strength in her hands, but she refused to let go of Sherry completely, and she seemed a little scared.

Sherry raised a hand and stroked the woman's arm slowly up and down, trying to stabilize her.After a while, Mrs. Reid finally calmed down completely. Sherry finally breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't bear to watch this originally elegant lady suffer from being pressed on the bed and injected with medicine because of her illness. Fortunately, that didn't happen, thank God.

Afterwards, Sherry was careful not to arouse Mrs. Reid's discomfort again. Until she finished her work, she deliberately explained the previous situation to the old nurse in the nursing home.In fact, she was a little hesitant to stay with her at night, but when she thought of her sick mother waiting for her at home alone, after much hesitation, she returned home.She decided to come over early tomorrow.

When I got home at night and saw my mother's smiling face, Sherry finally felt a little better.After doing the housework and setting up her mother, she decided to go to bed early. After all, she had to get up early tomorrow to see Mrs. Reid.But before going to bed, she planned to finish replying to the letter. On the one hand, she felt that she should let Dr. Reid know that something like this happened today. On the other hand, she also wanted to ask him for something... which made Sherry She felt a little despicable, like asking for a favor, and she hated this kind of self.

Sherry turned on the lamp with a little frustration, and began to consider where to write.

The author has something to say: Thank you little angels every day.

I still hope that people who see it can share with me some thoughts or opinions about the plot, but I am very happy that you are willing to come to support me:-D

Especially 397 little angel, the longest comment and the first comment are all yours 23333

Reminder: It will be sweet in a few chapters 23333

☆. Fifth letter: Actually, I have one thing I want to ask you.

In the latest investigative request sent to the BAU from the state of Texas, Gideon discovers that Elle, a team member who was supposed to go to Texas for a child murder inquest, is in danger.An unrecovered paranoid hijacks all passengers on a train and demands that senior officials come forward to meet his demands.In this severe situation, the BAU team was dispatched urgently.

Gideon used psychological tactics to make the kidnapper Ted reveal the relevant information of his fantasy, and then after analyzing the video surveillance content and Garcia's database data, they figured out Ted's purpose: he wanted them to take out his own fiction Something that was once implanted in the body by the government.

"Or we can fake something, hide a chip in the palm, use a trick on the hand." Reid put forward his own idea when everyone was a little helpless, and even made an example. "I mean, magic. I've even used it on school exams in the past." He spoke urgently, with a particularly determined gaze, and tried to convince them.

As expected, everyone affirmed this plan after discussion. Because Morgan was worried about Reid's safety, he took the initiative to ask him to teach him the skills, and he went to the car by himself, "Okay, Reid. Let's start. Show me how to do it."

"What? No. We only have 30 minutes, and I have been practicing this all the time. We have no other choice." Reid flatly rejected Morgan. He knew that he was the most suitable candidate, and the members were always in danger. He is very anxious.Seeing his rare resolute expression, everyone had no choice but to pass this action arrangement.

The failure to negotiate with the kidnapper Ted left Reid alone in the dangerous carriage.He successfully completed the magic trick, but Ted didn't stop fantasizing because what really bothered him was actually the other self he fantasized about, and the situation was once again out of control.In a critical situation, Reid integrated himself into Ted's fantasy world and found the root of the problem "Leo", and the thrilling rescue finally ended in the gunfire of a passenger.

"Reid, you seem to have saved my life by being there." Elle survived the catastrophe, she smiled and expressed her gratitude to Reid.Then she got a serious reply from Reid: "It seems? I saved your life!" Reid who said this must not know, his expression at that time was like a man who caught a mouse but was not praised. cat.

The members embarked on the way home with a relaxed mood, and soon they arrived at the BAU headquarters.

Reid, who was about to sit at his desk and start a reading plan, was suddenly stopped, "Dr. Reid, it just arrived, your letter." Reid took the letter from his colleague with a clear face, "Thank you .” Then he was taken aback by Morgan who suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Letter~Reid?" Morgan raised his eyebrows at Reid, showing his shiny white teeth. "You have been receiving letters very frequently these days~"

And Reid didn't seem to care about the other party's joke, and looked at Morgan calmly and suspiciously, "Do you think it's very frequent to receive 28 letters in a month, no, to be precise, within 3 days? Then you What vocabulary should I use to describe how often I change my female partner during this period? In addition, the word "frequently" is mostly used in..."

"Well, pretend I didn't say it." Morgan felt a little helpless and stopped Reid from continuing.And Elle, who passed by these two people and heard their conversation, couldn't help but spit out, "Oh, that must not be frequent enough to describe, maybe faster than Morgan's changing clothes." Reid couldn't help but look up. Frowning, slightly curling the corner of his mouth, well, he admits he did it on purpose :-D.

Getting rid of Morgan's teasing, Reid said that he could finally read the letter in a down-to-earth manner.

"Dear Dr. Reid, see Suga.

Of course I am very happy to talk to you about Mrs. Reid, although I still hope that you can visit her in person, but since you are really in a difficult situation, in the future I will
