As soon as he entered the door, he could smell a slightly strong smell of blood. From the residual smell, Yu Xi judged that the time when the case happened would not be too far away from now.

"I'll take a look at the scene first and then deal with those guys." Outside the heavy cordon, there are already a lot of media who have heard about it. Even if they are blocked at the outermost edge and can't see what's going on, they still press a few times shutter.

"Don't pay attention to them for the time being." Beckett has always seen these guys not very pleasing to the eye. If they have a good attitude towards this kind of people, they will climb up the pole and make progress. "Don't be too polite to them." Beckett felt that Yan Xi's temper As far as she is concerned, no matter how annoying these people are, she must be polite and greet them with a smile;

"I have a sense of propriety." Yu Yuxi never felt that his temper was so good, but he didn't lose his temper so much that everyone could see it.

"The bloody footprints are from the inside out, but they are gone when you reach the gate." Yu Xixi was not in a hurry to look at the corpse, but was interested in the footprints, "The second victim still had footprints on the second-floor platform. But at the bottom, it’s gone.”

"The same is true of the first victim's live photos," Beckett added.

"Change your shoes when you leave?"

"It's not impossible."

"This is the third victim?" Esposito and Ryan arrived at the scene first, and both of them looked at the victim on the bed in a daze at this time, to be precise, at a certain part of the victim, a certain part of the victim. The part that was cut off.

"Yes." Ryan returned to his senses slightly, but his face didn't look too good. It's not like they haven't seen worse scenes before, but...

"Probably another man with a criminal record." Yu Yuxi shook his head and sighed without any emotion, and then stepped forward to conduct a preliminary inspection. She looked at the photos of the scene of the first case, and she was at the scene of the second case. I was not in the most sober state, so I didn't observe carefully, but watching the scene in a sober state, the bright red everywhere does have a certain visual impact.

“初步检测死亡时间大概在4-6小时之前。”言语曦稍微停滞了一下手中的动作,4-6小时之前的话也就是上午10点-12点左右?

Committed the crime again less than 13 hours after committing the crime in the early morning?

How did the target person be determined so quickly?Or does the murderer have a list of people who are the targets of the murderer, and according to the list, perform the ritual he thinks at a fixed time?

"The superficial symptoms are consistent with suffocation, and there are many wounds on the body of different depths..." The general situation is similar to before, but Yuxixi does not draw conclusions here, let's wait for her autopsy.

"Huh?" Yan Xi took a step back and raised the victim's finger for a closer look, "There is some tissue in the nail." After carefully extracting it, Yan Xi took another step back, "Do you think the scene has been cleaned? Traces?" asked Esposito suspiciously.

"Cleaning?" Esposito frowned, and walked around spreading his hands, "I didn't see it, if it was cleaned, it shouldn't be like this now; but there is something strange on the side of the bedside table, there are some stains on it that haven't been cleaned up ;Yuxi? You..." Why keep flapping your nose?Are you going to learn from a puppy again?

But... her "dog nose" has always been better than a machine.

"The smell of blood is too strong." Yu Yu frowned, "Let the people from the forensics department carefully examine the blood in this area." Yu Yu drew a circle with his index finger to delineate an approximate range.

"OK."

"I found some blood-stained broken glass downstairs." Ryan didn't stay in the bedroom, but beckoned Esposito away.

Stained in bright red shattered glass?

Yan Yuxi's eyes kept falling on the bedside table, as if he understood something.

"What did you find?" Hotch originally came to ask Yu Xixi's progress, but she didn't expect that she seemed to be more interested in what he was holding, "What's the problem with this?"

"Is there lipstick on this cup?"

"Yes." Hotch frowned slightly, although it wasn't the obvious red, but there was no need to ask.

"Ryan just found some broken glass in the trash can below, if this is the case it might be a broken glass; we have never understood how the victim took the sedative drug, now it is assumed that the victim invited the murderer Come in and drink with him?"

"The first and second criminals did not find any used cups at the scene." Although Hotch responded in this way, he still agreed with Yu Xi's hypothesis, but he needed definite evidence to prove that the hypothesis could be established.

"No, there were used cups at the scene of the second victim." Yan Xi said to Hotch very affirmatively, "It's just that there are too many used cups there, and they have been cleaned up long ago." Party There were too many wine glasses at the scene. The suspect may not have made the victim drink the drug-laced wine in the room. If he was made to drink the drug-laced wine in other places, and then discarded the cup at will... It's a good plan, servant People must have been cleaned up.

"Beckett!" Yu Xi called a name loudly, and she suddenly thought of a more important question, "Who reported the case at that time?"

"It came from a disposable phone call with a disguised voice. We think the murderer himself called the police." Beckett walked over from another room with an evidence bag in his hand, which seemed to be the victim's mobile phone. "Any questions?"

"When you arrived, there were still a lot of people on the first and second floors, right?"

"That's right." Beckett frowned a little at this point, "Those people are really..." Thinking that Yu Xi was or would sometimes be one of them, she refrained from expressing opinions that have nothing to do with the case.

"It would be great if we could compare how many people arrived with how many people stayed at the end." Yu Xixi shrugged his shoulders regretfully. Unfortunately, no invitation letter was required to enter that day, so the number of people present could not be counted.

"JJ and Emily are inquiring about the known people who participated in the party that night. After they finish the part, they can cross-reference the list." Hotch thinks that if the murderer is really a person who participated in the party that day, as long as he appears in the sight of others , it is definitely better than finding a needle in a haystack in the end.

"OK, then I'll go back to the lab first... No; I'll get rid of those 'flies' outside first." Yu Xixi was going to leave with her toolbox, but immediately thought that she had something else A job needs to be done, so he quickly took off his gloves and looked around, "Beckett, don't forget to help me take the toolbox back."

"...in a hurry." Beckett shook her head slightly in the direction where there was no back, although occasionally it would make people feel out of tune, and this time is also the most difficult time to distinguish her from her sister, but most Sometimes, Yuxi is quiet enough; and she at work makes people feel a bit like a devil.

laboratory--

There is a recording pen on the shelf beside it, and some preliminary inspections on the surface have been completed. Yan Yu picked up the scalpel, took a deep breath as usual, and then the scalpel gradually went down. After two cuts, a "T"-shaped incision was formed. Just as surgeons have their own methods, coroners also have their own dissection methods, and the "T"-shaped incision is Yu Xi's consistent method.

"knocking"

"Come in."

The approaching footsteps were very light, and Yuxi Xi raised his eyebrows slightly after looking up, "Hotch, you haven't gone back yet?" He was already nestled in the laboratory and didn't check the time, but Yuxi Xi estimated that it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening up.

"You didn't eat anything tonight." Hotch flicked the bag in his hand.

"Thank you." Yu Yanxi nodded slightly, but the movements of her hands did not stop at all. She should wait until she took the samples that needed to be tested before going to eat.

"Aren't you going to rest tonight?" Hotch looked at Yu Xi's posture as if he was going to stay in the laboratory all night.

"Well, I'm used to it, and I won't be able to fall asleep until I finish all this, so I might as well stick to it, and I can sleep on the sofa when I have some reports." Yan Xi shrugged nonchalantly, "There will be no more consecutive victims. One or two nights is not a big deal." Her highest record is nearly ten days in the laboratory, although there will be a short sleep time during the period, but in general... she doesn't want to experience it again in her life , Now that I think about it now, I don’t know how I persisted; no wonder CC almost regarded her as a lunatic when I went back.

"What about you? There are still some reports from my side that haven't come out. It's not my crow's mouth. If I don't take advantage of the rest now, maybe I won't have to rest in the next few days." The first thing Yu Xixi did after taking off the gloves was to take them off. Mask, this is something she can't get used to, every time she wears it, she feels as if she will suffocate, but sometimes she has to wear it.

"It's okay." Looking at Hotch's appearance, it seems that he doesn't intend to leave, but will stay in the laboratory with Yu Xi, "There are still some information that needs to be sorted out."

Yu Xixi opened the food, and didn't sit down to eat properly, but walked towards the computer on the other side while gnawing on the food, "Some tests should have results."

"Marijuana, cocaine, □□..."

"Used to deal with heroin? Drug addiction?" Hotch stood behind Yu Yuxi and looked at the report and couldn't help frowning. Are these victims still addicts?

"Well, and all three victims have varying degrees of gum recession, which can also prove that they have been taking drugs for a long time." Yu Xi pressed the Enter key to print out the report, "But judging from the degree of recession, The second victim should have been less addicted to drugs than the other two."

"Also, the DNA on the broken glass found downstairs by the second victim was indeed part of the victim's own after comparison."

"What about the other part?"

……

"What's wrong?" Hotch was a little puzzled by Yu Xixi's sudden silence and somewhat depressed expression.

"The part that does not belong to the victim's blood is very small. The blood of the two people overlapped, and it was destroyed by other things when it was discarded in the trash can..." Yan Xi shook his head and stopped making excuses for himself, and sighed, "I I’m still trying to find a way to extract it, and I’m not sure if I can distinguish the ingredients.” Whenever this happens, she will feel a sense of frustration, but there’s nothing she can do about it; Technology also requires a certain amount of luck.

"JJ and Emily went to the scene of the first two victims, and they brought back all the cups from the scene." Hotch remembered that Yuxi was a little obsessed with the cups from the scene, "But they were all cleaned. "

"In the forensics department?" Yu Yuxi suddenly missed Hodgins, this guy is very useful in farming.

"Hmm." Hotch frowned, this step of the inspection is likely to be very busy, but it can't give up this aspect of the inspection because of this.

"Ahem." Because he read the report too professionally, Yuxi choked himself when he accidentally ate.

"Slow down." When he put down the food and coughed in embarrassment, Yu Xi probably blushed a little. Every time he was seen the least elegant and ladylike side.

If this is not bad for this person, she will have no face in the future, so she will abduct her no matter what.

Fortunately, she is almost halfway there!
