[Healthy people do not torture others, and often those who have been tortured become torturers. —— Jung]

"no, do not want!"

"Help!"

"Please, please."

The terrified cry of begging for mercy sounded in the darkness, perhaps because of the empty space, every time he shouted, there would be an echo.

In addition to crying and begging for mercy, there seems to be the sound of steam from the pot in the space, but it is covered by other sounds; and some smells in the air can probably tell that someone is cooking something in this space .

A tall figure slowly moved in this space only illuminated by a dim yellow light bulb, and soon came to the person who could no longer cry, and stared blankly in front of the terrified person, as if he couldn't hear the person's voice. The words that came out of Hehe's mouth, after standing for a while, he raised the thing he had been holding in his hand...

"No...!" The heart-piercing voice resounded throughout the quiet night, but... it could only be echoed here, in front of this person!

Hands up and down, blood instantly covered everything.

And the bright red world makes people grin the corners of their mouths...

"good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Hotch nodded slightly to the people outside the door, "Is there something to do here at this time?" On a rare day of vacation, when Yan Xi rang the doorbell in this sunny afternoon, Hotch felt that he was definitely here to chat; Is it about what happened in the last case that needs to be talked about again?

"It seems that I can create a little surprise for you." Yan Yu slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled complacently, completely sweeping away the slump of the previous few days.

"How?" Surprise? Hotch really couldn't guess what Yuxixi's so-called surprise was for a moment.

"I just moved house today, and we will be neighbors from now on; please take care of me!" Yu Yanxi smiled cleverly, watching Hotch's reaction from the corner of his eyes.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Hotch was stunned for a moment, but he was not interested in the reason why Yu Xixi moved, nor did he have any doubts that she just moved next door to him; what he cared more about was her mental state; In the past week or so, although Yu Xixi still made people feel that something was wrong with her mental state for a period of time at the beginning, she basically recovered a lot after three days, at least she could no longer easily see anything from her expression.

"Then please help with these cookies." The house has been done before, and she only needs to clean it a little in the morning, so she still has spare time to make some snacks as gifts for the new neighbors; of course, the gift is only this Only one copy.

"Thank you; please come in." Hotch sideways opened a passage for Yuxi to enter the room, "Is coffee okay?" Asking Yuxi to wait in the living room for a while, Hotch stepped into the kitchen to prepare coffee for the guests.

"Yes." Although I think it would be better to have a cup of hot cocoa at this time, Yu Xixi thinks that there may not be one here, and she has never asked for much.

While Yan Yuxi was looking at the house, a small figure came out from the other room. Curious about the sudden addition of a stranger in the house, he stared cautiously at the person at the other end of the sofa.

"Hi, handsome guy." Yu Xixi waved his hands slightly and greeted first, with some little unknown calculations in his eyes.

"Hi, who are you?" Jack walked a little closer and then looked up curiously at the smiling person. Although Yu Xi's friendly expression could make people relax, Jack still kept a certain distance from her with some guard .

"I'm Yuxi, your new neighbor." Yuxi was a little depressed, why was he so guarded?Does she look like a bad guy?Could it be that she smiled treacherously?Isn't it too embarrassing?

"Hi, I'm JackHotchner." He shook hands with Yu Yuxi in a serious manner, and tilted his head slightly. He felt that her smile was very friendly, and the guard he had a few seconds ago had almost disappeared under such a smile.

While Yuxi and Jack were talking, Hotch had already made coffee, and put the cookies brought by Yuxi into the living room; of course, Jack was given a glass of milk.

But after taking a sip of coffee, before he could say anything, Yu Xi's cell phone kept ringing, and he glanced at the caller ID, feeling a little puzzled, someone he hadn't contacted for a long time, "Excuse me, I'll answer the call."

"Hello?" After expressing his apologies, Yu Xi got up and left the restaurant to answer the phone outside. At this point, the possibility of Camille Saroyan① chatting with her is relatively low, right? "Camille, long time no see, what's up?"

"Sorry, I have my own work to do now, you should find someone else to be Dr. Brennan's assistant." Regarding Camille's invitation to go to Jefferson to be Brennan's assistant, Yan Xi refused without hesitation. Said that she and Brennan have never had any tacit cooperation. Now that she has her own job, she naturally has no time to return to Jefferson to be Brennan's assistant.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xixi was still a little curious. Are there no other interns available at this time?Isn't there several interns who take turns as assistants?Even without an assistant, Brennan can do it all by himself, right?Or have you encountered a more troublesome situation that requires the cooperation of multiple people?

But although he was curious, Yu Xi just thought about it for a while and put it behind him. It would be too unpleasant to think about other people's things in the afternoon; it would be more wonderful to enjoy dessert after an afternoon.

By the way... Let's "abduct" the kid first!

Of course, before entering the living room, Yu Xi still consciously restrained her "treacherous" smile. If such a smile is seen, maybe it will have to be avoided in the future.

The next day—

"Yu Xi, you seem to be in good spirits." After Yu Xi "floated" into the office with a bright mood, she was immediately ridiculed by JJ, and everyone was corrected a few days ago and finally stopped calling her by her last name.

"Of course, the weather is good on the weekend." And the plan of the "abducted" child is very smooth, and now there is a free car to go to work, so the mood is as bright as the day when I joined the job, and the shadow left by the previous case has been cast away. Not a lot.

"Could it be that you're going on a date?" Emily exaggeratedly pretended to be dazed and smiled at Yu Xi.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going on a date." Yan Yu would not blush and feel embarrassed because of such teasing, and followed Emily's words back with an ambiguous smile, making it difficult to tell whether she was telling the truth or joking.

"It seems that most of the male colleagues are going to cry again." Even Rossi joined the ranks of teasing, not to make fun of people, but everyone is very happy that she is back to normal.

Yu Yuxi smiled happily. Although many mysteries were left behind, and they seemed to be all related to her, and Dao's eyes might be watching her secretly at any time, there was a feeling of peace of mind with such a group of colleagues; Now that I think about it, sometimes impulsiveness is not a bad thing at all - just like her career change this time.

Of course, the happy time is always short-lived. When everyone saw Hotch coming out of the upstairs office, they all consciously moved to the meeting room collectively, knowing that there was a case without looking at Hotch's expression.

"I don't know what kind of pervert has appeared again." As he walked, Yu Xixi muttered in a low voice; although he had realized that this was an era when perverts were rampant when he was a forensic doctor, and he experienced it personally again when he was in the last case After that, the feeling deepened a little bit.

After hearing Yu Xixi's muttering, Emily put a hand on her shoulder, "So our task is to catch these guys as soon as possible."

"correct."

After entering the conference room, Garcia took the remote control and stood in front of the screen to introduce the case to everyone——

A large number of bones have been found near Interstate 95. These bones appear to have been discarded at random, but the distance between the sites where the bones were found is about the same.

"Are the bones found in every place a complete person?" Yan Xi couldn't help frowning deeply after looking at the photos, at least she could tell from the photos that this was not the case.

"No!" Garcia swallowed his saliva, "except that the distance between each place is about the same, it looks like it was randomly discarded from other places. A complete corpse."

Words Xi can understand the comparison very well. From these photos, she saw four skulls. It is really a huge and difficult project to distinguish the bones belonging to different victims and put them together into a complete skeleton; And for pathological coroners, it is even more troublesome; because it is impossible to do DNA on all the bones and then confirm which victim belongs to that bone.

"In addition, the coroner at the branch said in the report that these bones showed signs of being boiled." Garcia's expression was not very good when he introduced it, probably because he thought of something unpleasant.

"For the time being, that's all the information we can get. After all, not even one victim's identity has been confirmed. The cause of death given by the coroner was beating, but further confirmation is needed."

After Garcia finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the conference room. After looking around at the contemplative people, it was Yu Yuxi who broke the silence first, "When I was a coroner, I used to observe some situations of the victims better. Let’s cook the food, using a high-displacement pressure cooker with automatic gear... When the cooking is almost done, there will be a damned ‘meaty smell’ in the room.” Yu Xixi’s expression was innocent, but everyone thought it was okay to explain, and finally What does one add to do?

Literally wanting them to be vegan for some time to come!

This kind of bad taste is really unacceptable!

"However, forensic doctors boil bones to make it easier to peel off the muscle tissue, cartilage and periosteum that are closely attached to the bone, so that the bone surface can be completely observed." Some sayings are enough, too much is not effective , and would cause trouble for himself, so Yu Xixi immediately recovered his serious face and started to popularize his professional knowledge after saying a word-in fact, he received a lot of warning eyes and couldn't continue to "stimulate" people.

"But what is the murderer's purpose in doing this?"

"It is easier to destroy the corpse, and it can increase the difficulty for the police to investigate the source of the corpse."

"Then dumping the bones in a place where they can be easily found after all is to provoke the police? And how did the victim's internal organs be disposed of?"

"Anyway, people like this won't stop committing crimes, we need to catch him before there are more victims." Hotch tidied up the files, "Rossi, Emily, JJ and Morgan go to the place where the bones were found, other People go to the branch office first."

"it is good."
