Chapter 115 The Daily Life of Profilers 14

Winnie Jeffrey, who disappeared three days ago, was reported by her roommate Elsa. When questioning Elsa, Mo Xian sat opposite her, resting her chin on one hand, staring at her intently, without realizing it. To Rhett and Morgan flirting.

"How is it? Did you tell Hodge?" Morgan asked in a low voice as he slipped Rhett into a corner.

Rhett didn't speak, just shook his head.

"OK, OK, I knew he wouldn't agree." Morgan rubbed Rhett's hair indiscriminately, causing the other party to slap his hand off, before saying, "Forget it, anyway, we will watch."

"I'm going," Rhett said as he wrapped his hands unconsciously around the straps of his satchel, and then returned to the BAU station, picked up a pen and absent-mindedly wrote and drew on the map.

On the other side, Mo Xian was still listening to JJ asking for some details.

According to Elsa, she and Winnie belong to the same area, and usually do business and introduce customers to each other. In fact, Winnie was introduced by Elsa. The two recently heard that several colleagues in another area disappeared for no reason. , they agreed to keep in touch with each other.

"Our family members don't know what we're doing," Elsa said with red eye circles and bloodshot eyes, and her voice was almost hoarse, as if there was a handful of sand in her throat, "so if there is no such agreement , once something happens, no one will remember it even after death.”

She was right. It was because of her timely report that the FBI found Winnie as a breakthrough. Two days later, the police still had hope of rescuing the victim.

"You said that several colleagues disappeared in another area?" JJ asked sensitively, "Which area? How do you know that they disappeared instead of going to other places?"

"It's in the '[-]th District' next door," Winnie said. "You know, we have our own sources. Those girls disappeared for no apparent reason. They didn't take away their clothes, luggage or letters. Even the friends who live together don’t know where they are going, something must have happened.”

"The girls who disappeared, do they have any common characteristics? For example... the same guest?" JJ continued to ask patiently.

Compared with other prostitutes, Elsa thought for a while before telling the two that they were not forced by life but self-deprecating. For example, Elsa herself was an orphan and lived on welfare, and another Daughter, entering this industry is helpless, but Winnie could have gone back to her hometown to find a job there, but she insisted on staying in this bustling city, and she did not hesitate to sacrifice her body for it.And they are all Puritans, but they haven't gone to church to pray for a long time.

After sending away Winnie who provided important clues, Reid marked 63 on the map according to her words and the victim files provided by Garcia—now the area where 64 victims are located. Geographical profile is in Criminal Mind Profile It is a very important part. Through this map, Reid came up with an answer, "The underground power in Richmond divides the city into 18 districts. District No. [-] is the most dangerous. The one chosen by the unknown suspect Most of the targets live in the [-]th, [-]th, [-]th and [-]th districts, and perhaps in his opinion, people living in these districts are more in line with his selection criteria."

"Fifteen, sixteen," Emily pointed out the above areas one by one with her index finger, "Seventeen, eighteen, they're not too close, are they?"

The distance between the four districts and the murderer's body in Richmond Forest Park is too great to be passed by walking alone, so—"He must have a car," Mo Xian crossed his arms and speculated with certainty Said, "Whether it is abducting victims or transporting corpses, he needs a car to help him complete it, and this car is not conspicuous in the slums, otherwise it will definitely attract the attention of the residents, and it can integrate into the most chaotic and poorest city in Richmond. In the area, I think the intersection between the unknown suspect and the victims should be deeper."

Mo Xian's talent in profiling made BAU's insiders secretly startled. She has not received systematic training, and she has never even been exposed to psychology, but she can still quickly keep up with the pace of other BAU members. , and even occasionally put forward a constructive point of view, which made Morgan touch his chin unconsciously.

"If it was you," Hodge pushed her forward again as if he was surprised, as if he wanted to see how far she could progress, "where would you choose to do it?"

Mo Xian took two steps forward, passed Rhett and Emily, pointed his finger straight at a point on the map, and drew a circle around this point, "Near here."

The others stared intently, their eyes widened for a moment, and they exchanged glances with each other.

As we all know, wherever there are tourist attractions, there must be supporting hotels and shops, especially in Richmond Forest Park. On the outer edge of this forest, hotels of all sizes are derived, ranging from five-star to small. There are all kinds of motels, and what Mo Xian is referring to is these hotels that are close to the body dumping site but have a long straight-line distance.

"First of all, these hotels are far away from each other, even if you scream loudly, no one will hear you," Mo Xian expressed his opinion in an orderly manner, "Secondly, with a hotel, the murderer no longer has to work for a living, and there are enough Time and place can torture victims, and third, prostitutes can't bring customers to their lodgings, they need a hotel, even a simple motel, which I believe is an excellent reason to lure victims," ​​Mo Xian spread her hands and said, "Because they have been there too many times, the familiar environment has paralyzed their vigilance."

"Of course, I don't think it's done by the hotel owner they often go to. It's too revealing," Mo Xian said, "I just think that prostitutes are far less vigilant about hotels than they are about a strange environment." .”

Her words didn't employ any theory of criminal psychology, but it was true that she saw the most obvious avenues at a glance.

"How did you come up with that?" Emily asked curiously.

Mo Xian replied frankly, "Just like Morgan, when I switched places, I thought, if I were a murderer, facing these victims, where would I strike."

"It's useful, boy," said Rossi, the oldest and most experienced member of the BAU team, slowly, "but it's also dangerous. You imitate those inhuman—" Xian coldly shuddered, "——the more serial killers you have, the more you will get used to the serial killers' way of thinking. Those cruel and violent methods will change you and strip you of your sympathy, dear , whoever fights the devil, should be careful not to become a devil himself."

Facing Rossi's elder-like concerned eyes, Mo Xian nodded slowly.
