"Want to chat for a while?" Hotch parked the car in front of Yu Xixi's house, and the latter didn't intend to get out of the car immediately, he didn't know if he was wandering or thinking about something.

"En." Wei Wei nodded, since the case at hand was over, she could ask Hotch to help her analyze some situations; what was the reason for breaking the previous rules?Has something changed in the person in the dark?But... She didn't have the feeling that someone was watching her life, so why did that person know her daily life like the back of the back of his hand?

"Is there something wrong?" After the two got out of the car, Yan Xi was about to open the door, but stopped halfway holding the key, a little stiff.

"There is a note." Pulled out from the crack of the door, Yu Xixi handed it to Hotch without looking at it, it won't be a good thing, let Hotch read it on his behalf; after making sure there is nothing strange, Yu Xixi then He opened the door and turned on the light to light up the darkness of the room.

"Don't mind, it's a little messy." The coffee table and the sofa were piled with things that hadn't been tidied up, and Yu Xixi twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment; he should have let people in like this earlier.

Fortunately, Hotch didn't care too much about it. He saw the letter that Yuxi Xi threw aside at first glance, and it shouldn't be called a letter. The words between the lines seemed to be full of praise, but there was an unspeakable sense of awkwardness.

"I got the letter in the mailbox two nights ago. I couldn't understand what was written at all. Only the signature is familiar. Every time I receive strange things, it is the signature, but I don't know what the signature means." After searching in the refrigerator for a long time, Yu Xi finally found only Coke, so let's go to the end, anyway, it's not suitable for drinking coffee at night.

"I used to send some strange photos or clothes at a fixed time every year, but this year seems to be a bit abnormal." Yan Xi tried hard to look indifferent, but in the end he had to give up, and the corners of his mouth looked a little ugly.

"Do you receive these every year after your mother's case?" Hotch frowned and looked at some photos that Yuxi Xi gave her. The people in the photos were [-] to [-] percent similar to Yuxi Xi, but the photos should be from the last century , the people above are also older.

"How should I put it..." Yu Xixi scratched her hair in distress, "I probably started receiving these in high school, not every year at first, but almost always in spring or summer, and then In recent years, I have received it every year, although the photos are not the same, but the style is the same; this year is strange, I only received it last month, and it came again." At first, I also called the police, but I still found nothing. None, and the police would not work too hard if nothing actually happened. Later, she simply ignored it. Except for the ups and downs in her mood every time she received it, there was no big loss.

But this year's anomaly made her very irritated, especially the first case she entered the BAU was not completely understood, and the doubts left in it made her have some guesses.

"Do you want to re-investigate your mother's case?" Hotch also studied the file of the murder case of Yu Xixi's mother. Rossi was one of the handlers at the time. None of them were found, and after discussing with Rossi, he found that the investigation of the case that year had encountered a lot of resistance.

Including Yu Xi's mother, the number of victims in the serial murder case was five in total. Even if the methods were not very cruel, these five people were all mothers except for their similar appearance, and their children were very young. However, after only about 10 days of investigation, the higher authorities gradually withdrew the case handlers, and finally let the handlers disperse to deal with other cases. Over time, the case was shelved.

This abnormality was not noticed at the time because there were indeed many cases that needed to be solved. Afterwards, no similar cases occurred for a long time, and it was really forgotten.

Rossi would still go through the case records at that time, but there were really no more clues for investigation.

"Actually... the main purpose of my working so hard to come to BAU as a liaison officer is to investigate my mother's case." Yan Xi shrugged and admitted that his "purpose was not pure" at the beginning, "It's just that after reading those materials I just don't know what to do to reopen the investigation."

"If you want to investigate this case now, you can only do it in private." There is no new case or any new evidence. It is obviously impossible to directly reopen the investigation.

"I don't mind the form of the investigation." Yu Xi hesitated for a moment before telling Hotch what he had encountered, "Every time I go to the archives to look at the files, I always feel that there are a pair of eyes staring at me from behind."

"It's like this every time? Did you tell anyone when you went to the archives?" Once or twice, it might just be that someone happened to be in the archives, so it's a bit of a problem every time; Quite diligent.

"It's just a feeling. It's nothing special except the slight sound of footsteps occasionally. Every time I know that I am the only one in the archives room." An old case that has not been closed, no one remembers it anymore. Why would anyone other than her client care so much?

Wasn't the case back then a simple serial murder case?What hidden secrets are hidden behind it?However, things that were not found back then will be more difficult to find after more than ten years, right?

"Have you thought about it..." Hotch frowned, showing a rare look of hesitation, "Have you considered doing a new autopsy?"

"Yes." Yu Xi didn't care about it, and told Hotch that he had considered this aspect when he chose his major, and considering that the corpse had already become a skeleton for so many years, so he majored in anthropology in addition to pathology; The goal has always been to clarify the case.

Hotch was slightly taken aback by Yu Xixi's quick answer. Even if she had considered this issue, would she be able to face it calmly when the time came?

"What kind of clues do you have so far?" Since Yu Xi wants to re-investigate this case, Hotch naturally needs to know the details first. He did not participate in the case back then, but only recently checked some files. understand the case; just...

He sighed helplessly, "I really don't have any clues other than the things that are sent to me every year. There should be some memories deep in my memory, but...for so many years, even the pictures and fragments have not flashed. I did." Yan Xi has been trying very hard to get back the memories he once had, but no matter how hard he tries to recall, there is no effect.

"Did I lose any memory after waking up, or did I gradually forget about it?" This kind of memory locked in the deepest part is often difficult to dig out by looking back; people will always avoid some trauma in the subconscious. No matter how much she wants to get those memories, she still wants to avoid other things, but these two things are actually related to each other, and only by letting them all emerge can she get what she wants.

Of course, neither the process nor the result will be too wonderful, and not everyone can bear it.

"When I woke up in the hospital, I still remembered some things, and then the police came to ask about the situation. After recalling some things, I fell into a coma, and when I woke up again, I didn't have those memories at all." Of course, these things happened to my family later. Tell her, what is the specific situation... She doesn't know at all.

"Are you ready?" Hotch knew what Yuxi wanted to do, and she could be regarded as a party to the case, and her memory of the case would be very useful.

"No matter what, I want to continue the investigation. I want to get the truth of this case, otherwise I will not be reconciled." She is not sure whether she can bear some of the situations that will arise later, but she is very sure that she is determined to take this case to justice. things go on.

Hotch was silent for a while, during which Yuxi just stared blankly at the cup on the coffee table, not knowing whether to relax or think about something.

After Hotch was silent, he didn't say anything, just asked Yu Xi to take the things sent by the suspects, and the latter nodded slightly and handed the things that had been sorted out to Hotch. She always read those words, every time I just feel inexplicable and chills down my spine, and more often I don't see anything at all.

After sending Hotch away, Yuxi Xi exhaled, twisted her neck, pinched the cervical spine with her backhand, although the fracture was a traumatic injury, she still felt extremely tired, more tired than any previous case.

Probably because for her the "battle" has just begun.

A "battle" that may be extremely difficult, even though she has been doing psychological construction for herself, but at this point, she is more worried about where things will go, and whether she can really accept the truth of everything ...

On a rare weekend, Yan Yuxi found that she couldn’t do it even if she wanted to stay in bed. After waking up very early, she could only get up and clean the living room. However, it was really inconvenient to only have one hand, and I didn’t get much done in two hours live.

"Ding dong..."

The person who was in the kitchen trying to make some food heard the doorbell, and although he put down his things, he still stood for a while before running to open the door, and the people outside the door surprised her, "Why are you all here?"

"Look how you are doing." Emily showed the things in her hands to Yu Xi, saying that she had brought a gift.

"Maybe you will need help, after all you are inconvenient." Morgan also came with something, and the packaging looked like ingredients.

"There are also snacks, maybe we can play a few games of Go later." Reid also brought things here.

Of course, JJ and Garcia also held some things in their hands. These people didn't look like they happened to meet at her door, they should have come prepared; I don't know what they want to do.

"Come in." Yu Yu is glad that she still got up early to tidy up a little, otherwise the living room would be too ugly, "Are you going to help me prepare lunch?" If so, she is quite happy, after all, a hand It's really inconvenient.

"Of course, welcome?"

"Where's Hotch?" Yu Xi said that of course he welcomes him, but he still cares more about another issue. Since it's an appointment, then there won't be only one person missing, right?

"Hey!" Emily sighed heavily on purpose, "Are you disliking us for being a light bulb? He should be here in a while."

"If I despise you, will you disappear from my sight immediately?" Yu Xixi didn't care about this level of teasing, it was too childish; she and Chuck played much more "advanced" than this before.

"Obviously impossible." Emily shrugged innocently, and Yan Xixi was really "uncute" as always. I don't know if she has been like this since she was a child or has changed through too much experience.

"Come in." Yu Xi stepped aside and made an inviting gesture with one hand, "I'm waiting for your lunch."

"I knew we would come back after the meal."

"It's too late to regret it, go cook for me, I just haven't had breakfast yet." Yu Yanxi is also very familiar with ordering people around.
