"JJ, how's the situation over there?" Yu Xi called JJ to ask about the situation when Hotch left the local police and asked about the situation. He said he knew about the situation, but he actually wanted to know the media rather unkindly. What kind of people are entangled with people, "Are there any casualties in this explosion?" But after all, it is not the time to express schadenfreude.

"No one has died yet, but more than [-] people have been injured, and two of them are still being treated for serious injuries." JJ's voice sounded a little hoarse, a bit like it was caused by a dry throat.

Did no one die?Except for the bombing case of revenge, it seems that the goal of other cases is not to cause the death of an individual, but more to create panic in the public opinion, to take revenge on the society?

"How about you?" JJ's question made Yu Xi feel a kind of "urgency". It seems that those media are acting "crazy", so... I can only trouble JJ to help her. It's been a while; it's not that she won't go back to work, but there just happened to be a sudden situation here.

"The chief of the fire station is dead. The cause of death is mechanical asphyxiation. The possibility of homicide is high." Yu Yan tried to make his voice sound helpless. After all, this is a very serious matter. "The time of death should be within two days. In an hour, maybe it will be the guy who made the bomb... No, when did the explosion happen?" The time required to get to the Lincoln Memorial from here is about an hour and a half, and that is when the traffic is not heavy. Next; and this person died within two hours, something is wrong on the timeline.

"It's less than 9 o'clock in the morning, which happens to be working time."

"The estimated time of death is between 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock...is it?" The timing makes people feel a little strange.

"No, the technical department has already tested it, yes, and the remote control range is within 1 kilometer in diameter."

......

It seems that the conclusion is quite different from the speculated conclusion?The murderer who killed the fire station chief was not the same person who made the bombing?Is it a case committed by a group?Every time the case comes to a certain point, there will always be some responsible situations to make people irritated?

"The sheriff is here. I'll contact you when I have news. I'll hang up first." Seeing a few police cars parked at the door, Yan Yu hurriedly hung up the phone and went downstairs.

Briefly introduced the situation to the sheriff. When the coroner inspected the body, he didn't step forward or express his opinion. Yu Yuxi kept observing the expression of the sheriff. He seemed to... "Do you know the deceased?"

"...Should, it looks familiar." The magistrate said with some uncertainty.

"He lived here when he was a child, and the old man in the file room should be his father." Since he said he looked familiar, then Yuxi would help him recall it.

"I remember! But he should have moved away a long time ago, why did he die here? When did he come back?" The magistrate seemed to remember who this person was immediately after being reminded by Yu Xixi, and then began to wonder Other things; the whole process looks natural, at least Yuxi Xi can't see any problems.

"These are the things we're going to investigate next." Yu Xi couldn't answer these questions from the sheriff, and she still wanted to find someone to explain these questions to her; "Did no one see him come back?" Xi frowned slightly, "Can I trouble you to ask anyone in the town who has seen him in the past few days?" Although it is reasonable to secretly go back to the original residence to hide after the murder, how did he know that he was arrested? Doubt?Why come back here instead of hiding somewhere where no one knew him?If you live here, if someone sees you, maybe you will be in trouble, right?

There should be a lot of secrets hidden behind this strange thing; and this hidden thing may be the key to other bombings.

"Okay." The magistrate nodded slightly, expressing that he would work together to solve this case; for this sparsely populated town, the death of one person is considered a major case.

"By the way, have any suspicious people come in and out of the town recently?" Garcia hasn't found out who the fire station chief has been in contact with recently. If there are strangers coming in and out here, they should be able to investigate. .

"Speaking of which, there really is one."

"Hey?" Yu Xixi originally asked casually, but he didn't expect the sheriff to find out about this.

"Do you still remember the basic features of that person? Have you seen where this person stayed?" A small town that never came suddenly had a stranger enter, as long as someone saw it, there should still be some impressions, especially for some people out of professional habits Will definitely pay more attention to it?

"He was wearing this hoodie, which covered his face, and he was wearing a mask, so he could only see the side view..." The sheriff said that he could not provide more information except for his height and body shape.

"In this case, why do you think this person is not a resident of the town?" It is indeed strange for a person who wraps himself up so tightly on such a hot day, but since he can't see clearly, how can he be sure that he is not the person around him? ?

"…height."

"Height?" Yan Yu frowned, please can this guy finish his sentence at once?I don't even look at when it's still like toothpaste, and it will come out a little after squeezing.

"There isn't anyone that tall in town."

……

This statement... Yu Yuxi concealed his weird expression a little bit; but on the other hand, this kind of discrimination should not be wrong, "When did you see this person? The more specific the time, the better; Ask everyone in this town if anyone else saw this man and when."

"Okay, okay." The magistrate repeatedly agreed, completely treating Yu Xixi as a commander.

Although the magistrate was a little procrastinated in his work and slow enough to respond, as if he didn't pay much attention to the case, he was cooperative enough; it's just that in some matters, a cooperative attitude is not enough at all, and now he may be more capable than Coordination is more important; as long as it's not intentional to hide or push them into the wrong track.

"Can I go back with the coroner? Is there any problem with the on-site inspection?" Yu Xi actually felt a little troubled by this situation. She is not used to this position of commander. In fact, although the BAU people often turn back to the customer. , but basically that situation has nothing to do with her.

"No problem, leave this to us." The security officer repeatedly assured that he really put himself in the position of a subordinate, "By the way, I would like to trouble you to inform the family of the deceased."

Notify the family of the deceased?

Isn't that the old man in the file room?Why should she come to inform?She has always stayed away from such things.

Yu Xixi originally wanted to raise a different opinion on this matter, but the sheriff had already "sneaked" behind, and the coroner came to urge her to go; that is to say, these people simply avoided doing this on purpose. something?

But it's very understandable when you think about it. A colleague who has been with me for so many years, maybe still a good friend, suddenly ran to tell him that his son had died. This kind of thing...maybe it would be a little "smooth" if it was notified by an unfamiliar person. .

Although she didn't like it, it was also part of the job, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it every time she encountered such a situation.

"You say it again?" The old man in the archives was stunned for a long time after Yu Xi told him that his son was dead, and then asked Yu Xi to say what he just said again.

Facing the persistent eyes, Yu Xixi had no choice but to repeat the previous words after a sigh; she said that she was too bad at this kind of thing.

"How come..." The already slightly old man seemed to be ten years older at this moment, and the scene of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man was really...

"I need to ask you some questions, can I do it now?" Yu Xixi was worried that the old man's mood swings would be quite confusing and he would be confused about some questions, so she could afford to wait.

"Ask." Finding a chair to sit down, the old man signaled that he was fine.

"Has your son contacted you recently? Has anything in particular been mentioned?"

……

Chatting with the old man for a long time, Yu Yuxi also got a lot of information——

The deceased made a phone call with him about three weeks ago, and chatted with him for nearly two hours, from the funny and embarrassing things that happened in childhood to the disappearance of his daughter, the departure of his wife... never talked to him There were so many things; but he didn't think too much about it at the time, he just thought that his son had endured too much these years, and he wanted someone to listen to him.

And some descriptions in the middle caught Yu Xi's attention, "You said he mentioned a man many times on the phone?"

"I didn't specifically mention who it is, but it seems to say that I met recently, and I can talk to someone who has a common experience or something."

Anyone with a common experience?Could it be that person who also had a child missing?However, where did such a person who said he had the same experience meet?

"Did he call with the number he usually used?" Yu Xi wanted to see if he could recover the content of the call through some means from the operator.

"Yes, it's always been that phone number."

"You...sorry." Apart from these two words, there are no other better comfort words, and there is no way to comfort this kind of thing; after understanding the similar situation, Yuxi feels a bit like "running away".

After leaving the file room, Yu Xi didn't go to the coroner's side, but found an empty place and called Angela, because she felt that she could get the information she wanted faster through Angela than through the operator; probably Recently, I was really influenced by Reese, and the first thing I thought of was not a formal way.

"Hey, Honey, have you been 'bad' by someone recently?" Angela's first reaction after hearing Yu Xixi's request was this; although she would always treat them as coolies before, she usually He came to them when he had no other choice, and now he found her without trying anything, and asked her to perform an operation that might violate the rules?

"It's not a big deal, I just need the content to confirm something, and I won't provide it to the court as evidence at all." However, Yu Xi was indifferent, "Can you find the content of the call?" She was more concerned Still this.

"Let me try." Angela sighed helplessly, but she had no way to refuse, even if she refused now, it wouldn't take long for Yuxi to find ways to force her to agree, so it's better to be "conscious" now.
