Although the DNA of four skulls has been extracted for inspection, no match has been found in the database, and there is no image of the deceased to compare or release news to find. The identity of the deceased has not yet been determined. For clues, Yu Xixi and the others came to the sub-bureau to briefly understand the situation and then all gathered at the coroner's side.

Hotch and Reid frowned at the same time looking at most of the skeletons placed on the dissecting table that had not yet been "classified". There was nothing they could do about this situation.

Without saying a word, Yu Xi put on his gloves and walked to the position next to the coroner and began to examine the bones.

"She is..." The coroner was a little hesitant about Yu Xixi's abrupt behavior. What could she see?

"Judging from the width of the groove of the greater ischial foramen and the dorsal side of the pubic bone, the deceased was a woman..." Regarding the coroner's question, Yan Xi blocked his mouth with his own deduction, and the coroner opened his mouth. Make a sound, isn't this the BAU liaison officer but an anthropologist from somewhere?

Some of the bones of the deceased whom Yu Xixi observed had been sorted out, "between 25 and 30 years old... It seems that this person has Hegrond deformity."

"What's that?" It was rare that there was a professional term that Reid didn't understand, and he frowned and looked at Yu Yuxi, wanting her to give an answer as soon as possible.

"Achilles tendon bursitis is the heel bone hyperplasia caused by wearing ill-fitting high-heeled shoes." Yu Yanxi said without raising her head. If she wanted to put together the bones of the four deceased, it would probably take her a while. Concentrated on this matter for a very long time; looked up at the coroner, who shrugged resignedly, he is a pathologist, and he is also very troubled by things that belong to the category of anthropology; she arrived first He didn't mind giving up his laboratory to Yu Yuxi's assistant.

Looking all the way up, Yu Yan carefully inspected one of the skulls, "The front of the brain is a closed skull depression fracture, and the cause of death is indeed very likely to be this."

While everyone was waiting for her next move, Yu Yuxi suddenly took off her gloves and brushed her hair, "Do you need my help here?"

……

The coroner rolled his eyes, seeing what he said... "Well, let me be your assistant."

"Ugh?"

"Oh, what, let's get to work, this is something to do." The coroner shook his head sighing. Better than the current situation; who told him that he really doesn't know much about physical anthropology?

"Okay." Yu Xixi didn't evade much, and put on the gloves again. It is impossible to hold a press conference without too many clues, and she can't help with profiling, but staying in the laboratory can make more use of it. some effect.

"Are there any experts in the restoration of remains here?" Even if she could distinguish the bones of these victims, determine the cause of death and the injuries received during her lifetime, she has no knowledge of restoration, and it is difficult to confirm the identity of the deceased. started investigating.

"No..." The coroner twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment. There is no way to change the fact that their side is relatively "simple", otherwise they would not have asked them for help so quickly.

"I know someone who is good at this. If necessary, I can contact her." Yu Xi immediately thought of Angela Montenegro, she is still very capable in this area; and the few skulls here are not. The damage was particularly serious, so it shouldn't be a problem for her; it's just that Camille called her yesterday and asked her to help, so they should also have a case under investigation. I don't know if Angela has the time to help.

"It's up to you to decide." Seeing that there aren't many available clues here, and they can't help, Hotch prepares to go to a temporary office with Reid for advanced geography profiling, and the matter in Yu Xi's field of expertise makes her Just decide for yourself.

"OK." Yu Xixi, who has entered the state of professional work, is more focused, even if he can hear other people's words, he doesn't bother to look up at this time, so hurry up and deal with these bones!

"Yuxi."

"what!"

"What's the matter?" Hotch was also taken aback by Yu Yuxi's startled reaction, but just patted her on the shoulder, how could there be such a big reaction?

"It's okay." Yu Yuxi was just too focused just now, and was taken aback when someone patted his shoulder suddenly in the silence, or it might be the sequelae of...some things, "The two skeletons here are complete. She kept her head down for most of the day, and she felt a bit uncomfortable in the cervical spine when she relaxed; There are varying degrees of Hegrond deformity."

"But that doesn't mean anything. There are so many women who wear high heels for a long time, and it's not worth guaranteeing that every pair of high heels fits comfortably." Yan Xi shook his head as he spoke. At present, the valuable clues found on the bones It's still a little less; but she was mainly assembling complete people before, and didn't carefully observe the bones of various important parts.

"Go take a break and have something to eat." Hotch interrupted Yuxi, who didn't expect her to work so desperately, she didn't touch anything for almost half a day, and didn't drink a sip of water; all thoughts after being interrupted They are still surrounded by skeletons, giving people a feeling of wanting to work or die.

"...That's fine." Yan Xixi didn't show his strength, and his physical strength was almost at the limit; it's okay to toss yourself, but it's not good to steam yourself down before finishing the work.

Taking off her gloves, she stretched her shoulders and neck, "Is there anything found at the scene? Has the media paid attention to this case?" Although she is now focused on the bones, she has not forgotten what her current job is.

"The place where the bones were found is close to the desert. Although there are some footprints near the bones, they are not of high value; and it is also contradictory that the suspect would choose such a place to dump the bodies. There are fewer people near the interstate highway, but there are many vehicles. It's easy to spot."

"Is the close distance between the places where the bones were discarded intentional?"

"The suspect is likely to have some aspect of obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"There's only coffee and sandwiches here, okay?"

"Ah? Ah! No problem." Yu Xi was seriously thinking about the case, when Hotch suddenly changed the subject and she didn't realize it all at once, her dazed look was completely different from her strong and confident attitude in the laboratory.

And Yu Xi's sandwich was only half finished, Hotch received a call, saying that another branch had found some bones, but this time it was not on the interstate highway, but in the forest; After learning about the situation on the side, I felt that the situation was somewhat similar, so I notified them.

"I want to go and see the scene." Yan Yu swallowed the last bite of the sandwich, and looked at Hotch expectantly. In fact, he didn't have any special intentions, just wanted to catch his breath.

"OK." The coroner who "escaped" from his territory before heard a little that Yuxi was in a certain state, which was close to a devil state. Hotch also observed her state at the door just now, and she really needed to take a breather.

It was found that although the skeleton was in the forest, it was not in a very deep place, but the focus of Yu Xixi's attention was not on the scene environment, but on the personnel.

Why does this person feel that the scene is a little bit more than usual?

And how many familiar figures are there?

"Yu Xi?" The voice was quite familiar.

"Lance?" Yu Yuxi turned her head and saw the visitor and couldn't help being stunned. She never expected that she and him would meet again in this way a few years later.

The two people who were facing each other were a little absent-minded for a while, and smiled at each other a second later, Yu Xixi never expected to see her... ex again on this occasion!I still feel a little awkward, especially when the environment is a little weird.

"Yo! Do you know each other?" SeeleyBooth hooked Yu Yuxi's shoulders naturally from behind, and slightly raised eyebrows at the weird atmosphere between her and Lance. Is this... an atmosphere of gossip?

"Yes." Yu Yuxi smiled at Booth, "College classmate."

"Just a classmate?" Does Booth believe it's that simple, or else Yan Xi would avoid his eyes like this?

"Booth, are you free now? When you are free, go home and take care of the children." Yu Yan raised his eyebrows impatiently, but it was just his ex, so why gossip?

"Hodgins, why are you here?" In order not to continue to endure the embarrassment of being gossiped, Yu Xi resolutely "escaped" to the other side and pretended to care about a question she really cared about; in fact, this question should have been asked more directly to Booth, But in order not to continue to gossip, she had to find someone else to ask, but after she spoke, she suddenly remembered that Hodgins was not weaker than Booth in terms of "enthusiasm" for gossip.

"Hey, Yuxi, long time no see." Hodgins gave Yuxi a warm hug and shrugged innocently, "Your question is exactly what we want to ask, why are you here?" Compared with the relationship between her and Lance Obviously, Hodgins is more interested in other aspects, "I heard you rejected Camille yesterday?" Hodgins seemed a little dissatisfied with this.

"I am now the liaison officer of BAU." Yu Xi also replied with an innocent expression, saying that she is not "thin", but because she has other jobs and can no longer be like before, she already has her due position.

"Liaison officer?" Hodgins exaggeratedly expressed his surprise and doubts, "You're an anthropologist!"

"Let's not talk about that for now." Yan Xi didn't want to answer some personal questions in this environment, "We are investigating a serial murder case, and the situation here may be related to the case we are investigating." Yan Xi looked past Hodgins Seeing Brennan, "Don't you guys come here for this case too?" Logically speaking, it shouldn't be what she guessed, but the situation on the scene is so in line with her guess; but... since they have been asked to take over the case, it is impossible Then let the other departments of the FBI intervene, and don't tell them anything beforehand.

Were there more skeletons found elsewhere?And it happened that Jefferson's people were dealing with it?Is this a "rendezvous" now?So Jefferson's talent will appear with them in this undecided scene? Camille's phone call yesterday couldn't be related to this, could it?

If so, who should the case belong to?

It's rare for the FBI to fight the same case; it's not interesting at all, especially in some respects.
