"Did I explain the reason for the street shootout to you?" Hotch and Yan Xi entered the conference room directly after arriving at Quantico. The clues at hand for the whole situation in the morning need to be done in the past few days, and obviously today the two of them He was the first one to arrive; Yu Xi muttered softly about this in his heart—finally, he no longer dragged others down.

"I talked a little bit, and Finch sent me some information, and I can share it with the conference room connection later." Yu Xixi didn't mention this matter along the way just because he didn't bother to explain it many times.

"Who is the other party?" Hotch seems to have a good understanding of some aspects of Yuxi, so she doesn't need to explain in detail, just a little bit; "He came from the same place as the person who attacked you? "

"According to them, it shouldn't be." Yu Xi recalled that after she was in a car accident, Morgan and Garcia went down to investigate and found a gang organization, and they also issued some reward orders in a small area; The way people do things now seems to be..."Advance and retreat in an orderly manner, not the style of gangsters."

"Still in the Marine Corps?" Hotch frowned, were these people brought in because there were people from them there as well or were they all brought together after they retired?

"It should be." Yu Xixi's expression was no better than that of Hotch, "They said that today they are going to confirm an important person, if confirmed..." I believe Hotch understands what has not been said, there are important people in various aspects If they "block the way" ahead, they will really have a hard time this time.

Fortunately...they have foreign aid on their side who don't need to be imprisoned by some rules and regulations.

"It seems that they will make a big move recently."

"Hey? Why did you come to this conclusion?" Yu Xi looked at Hotch suspiciously. He and Morgan went to find an arms dealer yesterday. Could there be more clues to be traced there?

"Someone recently purchased a batch of guns and ammunition, and the amount is quite considerable."

"How could he be so honest?" Yu Xixi's focus seemed a little misplaced.

"Before Garcia found out that a registered company owned by this guy had tax evasion, and the businessman made huge profits. In order to avoid trouble, they don't have too many secrets here." Hotch explained indifferently, some people feel that Very difficult to deal with, but often surprisingly easy to deal with.

"Tax evasion..." Yu Xi always thought that this kind of thing would be done by those pious guys, but for a person who has been running gray business all the year round, he probably has no concept of what tax is, right?

"You two are quite early today." The third one to arrive was Rossi, who made fun of him as soon as he entered the door, and gave Yan Yuxi a meaningful smile. ", wouldn't it be something that was seen through?Why is it that everyone who looks so serious is such a gossip?

"It's not too late for you." Yu Yuxi returned Rossi's kind smile, no matter what was seen through or she misunderstood, for the time being, don't get confused and become "self-confident".

"Is there any result from Camille about the blood stain that Booth found at the sniper site yesterday?" Then it is very necessary to change the subject without any trace.

"There are already results." Although Rossi followed Yu Xi's intentions and entered the topic of work, but with that gaze... Yu Yu had to turn on the "auto-blocking" function that she hadn't used for a long time—she didn't see anything.

"Is it in the database?" If there is a record in the database, Booth might be able to tie people back. "Didn't you do a reverse cross-comparison?"

"Dr. Saroyan is working on this aspect. We tentatively designate him as a member of the former Marine Corps. The scope of the delineation is members who have retired within five years, so Dr. Saroyan's workload for reverse cross-comparison will be relatively large." Rossi Seeing that Yu Yuxi's "automatic shielding" function is relatively powerful, he will not continue to "play" her nerves for the time being.

"Good Morning." Garcia slammed into the door of the conference room with his shoulder while holding a box and coffee, "Hey, Yuxi, it's so early today?"

……

Don't make it sound like she's a late king!She just didn't calculate the time well a few days ago, and she didn't know that Hotch was driving so slowly... well, it was her habit of speeding; but--they weren't too late, at least they weren't late.

"What are you holding?" Yan Yu started the "auto-blocking" function for the second time this morning - she didn't hear anything.

"The doorman just came to bring you something, so I brought it for you." Garcia pushed the box in front of Yu Xixi.

……

"What's wrong with you?" Garcia couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Yu Xixi was staring at the box in a daze, and then remembered what happened a few days ago, "You didn't order anything?"

"I didn't order anything, and no one told me that something was sent to me." Yu Xi swallowed unconsciously. She talked with Claire on the phone in the morning. That guy has already gone to Dubai, so there shouldn't be any problems. ; what would that be?

Seeing that Yuxixi was a little hesitant, Hotch asked her opinion if she needed to unpack the package for her. After she nodded, Hotch could not confirm the approximate contents from the voice, and then opened the box directly——

"Dress?"

This thing is a bit strange, who sent Yu Xixi a dress without prior notice?And still sent to the workplace?What is the intention?

"Yuxi?" Hotch noticed that the eyes of the people around him were fixed on the dress in the box, their faces seemed to be covered with a layer of paleness, "Areyouok?"

"..." She opened her mouth and did not make a sound. Yu Xixi knew her state clearly, just like when she received this kind of thing every year, the cold sweat grew more and more, a hand resting on the table stretched forward a little, she thought Asked for Garcia's coffee tape, but she couldn't speak for a while.

"This...she..."

"Garcia, paper bag!"

"Ah! Oh!" Garcia took out all the coffee in a hurry and handed the bag to Hotch, "What's wrong with her?"

"Hyperbreathing, there's no big problem." Rossi's eyes fell on the dress in the box. This dress reminded her of something and she fell into anxiety...even with a little panic and anger.

"What happened?" The door of the conference room was pushed open, JJ, Emily, Reid, Booth, and Lance arrived together for some reason, and then all blocked the door of the conference room for a while before dispersing and close the door.

"I'm fine." After calming down, Yu Xi tried hard to twitch the corners of her mouth, but she gave up after feeling too reluctant. She followed her for so many years like a ghost, and she really wasn't going to let her go for a year!

"Can someone explain the current situation?" Booth glanced at the box on the conference table, and then looked at Yu Xi's half-dead appearance, which song was sung early in the morning?Could a dress stimulate her like that?

"A little private matter." Yu Xi casually tied up her long hair, moved the box containing the dress to the ground, and kicked the box in with her feet, "I was a little emotional just now."

"Just a little bit excited?" Garcia looked at Yu Xixi's calm look and suddenly had the urge to strangle Yu Xixi to death. Did you know that her appearance just now scared her to death?

"Garcia, I'm fine." She would come here once a year, and she got used to it after a long time, and she was much better now than before.

"A dress, why are you doing this?"

......

"Can't you tell us?" Yu Yuxi's silence made people worry even more. A dress with such a big reaction but she didn't want to tell them a word. Is it a big secret or because she likes to be brave?

"Cough." Yu Xi hesitated a bit. Actually, it's not something shameful, nor is it something that must not be said, but it's one of the few things that hasn't been told to anyone. "It's related to the case a long time ago. I've had the dress for years, nothing."

"Who sent it?"

"...I don't know." Yu Xi moved the box onto the conference table again, "According to the usual practice in previous years, there will be a card besides this dress, but there is no other information."

Rossi picked out the card under the dress and read it to everyone—

"You are getting more and more beautiful, and you are really more and more like her!"

There is only this sentence on the card.

"Who are you like?"

"...my mother."

……

"Sorry, I don't want to talk about this anymore." Yu Xi took the card from Rossi's hand and put it in its original place, some of which could not be fully expressed without her narration; more importantly, there were some very important memories that she always Can't remember, or she is resisting to remember.

"Yesterday I went to Jefferson after dealing with the troubles left by two non-staff personnel. Hodgins' inspection of some residual items at the safe house site is quite interesting. What do you think?" Everyone could see that continuing that topic might stimulate her nerves again, and they all sat down to analyze the case.

Maybe some things can be investigated later, or we can inquire after the case is over. Since it is collected once a year, it should not cause too much danger for the time being.

"The combination of the things detected by Hodgins should be a strong cleaning agent, and we also found some covered traces in the carpet area where the cleaning agent was found. Obviously there were traces of fighting at the scene."

"Hotch, Booth; you didn't find any obvious signs of fighting when you arrived at the scene that day, right?" Yu Xi arrived later that day, so he reconfirmed with the two who arrived first.

"No, this should have been covered up before we arrived, not when someone else took over."

"The guy who handles these traces is a careful guy, and very used to dealing with these things."

"About Yuxi's question about a woman in the reference room that day, I have checked all the surveillance at that time period including the two hours before and after, and no woman appeared in that range; since it is an internal staff, then avoid the surveillance to find a dead-end location and move to the right It was too easy for her."

Yan Yuxi nodded slightly, but his heart was beating a little. Is it a woman or a man?After the last case, she temporarily felt a little difficult about gender judgment; forget it, let's discuss this issue later.

"Reid, Lance; have you read all the materials?" Yu Yuxi changed the subject and directly focused everyone's attention on the two people who were a little dull today.

"Why don't you show us what you have first?" Emily didn't miss Yu Yuxi's movement of playing with her mobile phone all the time. She is not used to playing with things in general meetings.

"Alright." Yuxi handed the phone to Garcia to let her connect to the machine in the conference room. There was a photo in it that she also received on the way here, and Finch sent it to her.

Hotch turned his head and glanced at Yu Yuxi. He was in a daze in the car for a long time before, was it because he saw something that surprised her?

"This is the one." Yu Yuxi sighed slightly, "The person on the right may be familiar to you."

"It's not unfamiliar."

"Does he even have a share?"

"The one on the left is not unfamiliar either."
