Yu Yanxi stood in the center of the clothing store, with one foot as the axis, constantly turning in place, at a very slow speed, squinting his eyes slightly as if he was feeling something.

In my mind, I replaced these hangers in the store with other items, and then matched them with these decorations...

Yan Yu suddenly stopped moving, her body seemed a little stiff. After these hangers and wardrobes were changed to other things, the space in the middle of her became a small stage—just like the small party arrangement back then!

A party where she is the only one on that stage!

However, at that time, there were only a few people she had known for many years, so why did the layout of this place give her this feeling?

After being absent-minded for a while, biting his index finger nervously, Yan Yuxi found that this room, which was originally just different in style from other stores, had a gloomy feeling; he did not consider himself a timid person, but some things were so strange that I don't know how to express it.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Xixi walked quickly towards the power switch. She needed some bright light to calm her emotions and organize her thoughts; it may be due to the overall effect design, the windows of the store are all pasted with black or dark cellophane, even It is also difficult to illuminate the store during the day; if you want a brighter environment, you have to turn on a few wall lamps.

"Clap"

"Clap"

"Clap"

I pressed it several times in a row, but there was no tendency for the wall lamp to turn on; the darkness of the day would always make people feel inexplicably displeased, so I continued to press the switch unwillingly, staring sideways at the unresponsive wall lamp and frowning , The light can be turned on when you first come to survey, so the possibility of damage in a short period of time should not be great, right?Could it be that someone has been here during this time?But why let the wall light stop working?

Because he came here in a hurry, Yu Xixi realized that he had nothing with him except the car keys, mobile phone and gun. He shrugged his shoulders alone in the dark. Now that some things have been confirmed, then...

One hand of Yu Xixi was still on the switch of the wall lamp, and the other hand slowly groped up to the counter, aiming for a wooden ruler on it.

Lowering his eyelids, Yan Yuxi stared at the floor. Is there a dark shadow shaking behind him?

He quickly grabbed the ruler and waved it behind him, "Who? Come out!"

But what surprised Yan Yuxi was that her attack hit the air, she was too suspicious... no!There was nothing wrong with her feeling, it was just that she wasn't prepared enough.

Someone covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief from behind and cut her hands back when she lost her mind for a moment, with one knee on her spine; it turned out that the victims were not pressed on the bed or on the wall, but It's on the counter.

The smell from the handkerchief let Yan Xi, who had lost her resistance, know that she would lose all consciousness in the future.

The wooden ruler in her hand fell slowly to the ground, and the remaining sliver of consciousness felt that she must leave some clues, but she couldn't do anything, and she didn't know what to do. She saw that face, but she didn't like it. don't have any memories...

When Yu Xixi was in danger, other people from BAU were gathering in that temporary meeting room to summarize all the clues at hand.

The son of the owner of the clothing store worked as a school doctor in the high school where the victim graduated, and he was in the same class as Yu Yuxi's younger sister. He is relatively taciturn on weekdays, especially not good at communicating with girls. special care.

According to interviews with students at the school, many people reported that the school doctor was always responsive to the girl with short blonde hair in the dance club.

However, his classmates in high school reflected that this person was a little timid and had no intersection with Yu Yuxi's younger sister, but he didn't know why he went to the dance club to watch rehearsals every day from a certain period of time—hiding silently behind the crowd.

And this person also caused some permanent obstacles in some aspects because of a malicious foul by an opposing player in a game in his student days.

"This person should be our number one suspect now." Rossi tapped the back of his hand with the side of the pen, but why did he feel that there was something incongruous?Is it the No.4 victim's clothing that Yu Xi pointed out?

"Garcia, what's the matter?" Hotch made a pause gesture to everyone, and Garcia, who had just ended the call, called again.

"Sir, can any of you contact Yuxi?" Garcia's voice sounded troubled, "She's been off since an hour ago." For people in their profession, the phone is on standby 24 hours a day It is definitely needed, and it is obviously not a normal signal to shut down for such a long time at work.

"We didn't find this person at school or at his house, could it be..." Emily didn't want to think too badly, but sometimes things that are too coincidental can only be an inevitable connection.

"The people at the school said that he left the school in a hurry two hours ago." Reid frowned, and Yu Xi's normal range of activities can still be roughly circled. Judging by her sudden attack on the coroner before, it is necessary to subdue She needs some means; of course, it may be much easier to use drugs unexpectedly, the question now is, where to start?

"Garcia, have you traced the route that Yuxi was driving before? Where was her last parking place?" Although he is unwilling to make a conclusion without substantial evidence, Hotch has to admit that it is 99% possible that Yuxi has encountered something bad. thing; two hours ago was the time for the live press conference.

The suspect left the school in a hurry, probably because he saw Yu Xixi on TV. It is quite normal for twins to be mistaken for their extremely similar appearance, especially for a guy who has become extreme because of fantasy.

"Yes! Yes... found it! Finally, the car was parked... in the underground parking lot of a shopping mall!" Not only Garcia's voice was heard on the phone, but also her continuous typing on the keyboard.

"Garcia, where else has she stopped?" Since the vehicle Yu Xi used belonged to the local police station, it was not difficult to track it down; and the underground parking lot of the shopping mall was unlikely to be a place where Yu Xi would go.

"Yes, wait a moment, just a few seconds..."

According to several locations reported by Garcia, everyone identified the target at the same time - a clothing store.

Rossi stayed and continued to interrogate the old woman who owned the shop. Hotch, Morgan, and Emily rushed to the clothing store. JJ and Reid went to the parking lot of the mall. There are clues about who drove Yu Xi's car to where; which direction he went after leaving. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the mall. I hope it will help.

clothing store--

"Safety."

"Safety."

"There's no one here."

The three of them who came to this conclusion picked up guns. Emily wanted to turn on the wall lamp but encountered the same problem as Yu Xixi did at that time—no response.

"Morgan, if you were Yu Xi, what would you do if you didn't turn on the light?" Emily was still standing next to the switch. In a darker space, most people would want to look for a little light source.

Morgan walked up to Emily and looked around, and saw the wooden ruler on the counter at a glance, "If she encounters any situation at this time, she may choose this wooden ruler as a weapon." It is not a wise choice to draw a gun abruptly in a small space with insufficient light.

"Morgan, Emily, come and take a look." Hotch stood in front of a row of clothes thoughtfully, and reached out to take off one of them.

"This is..." Emily blinked, isn't this the fifth outfit?During the previous survey, this set of clothes was not found here. What is the purpose of leaving this set of clothes now?

"Reid, what did you find?" Reid's call interrupted the thinking of the three.

"Surveillance in the parking lot of the shopping mall captured a person wearing a hat and sunglasses. He couldn't see his face clearly. He could only roughly judge his figure. He was less than 170 centimeters tall and very thin." Such a figure and their current number one suspect People are totally out of tune.

Is there a problem with their profiling and judgment, or is there a second suspect in the case?

"Some of Yan Xi's personal belongings were also left in the car; according to the monitoring of the mall and the surrounding streets, it can be seen that the suspect left on foot."

"Survey the vehicle to see if there are any clues left by the suspect, and ask Garcia to find out if there are abandoned warehouses or basements in the five-kilometer-diameter area of ​​the mall." After Hotch finished talking with Reid, he received a call from Garcia——

"Sir, Yuxixi once took a detour to an abandoned warehouse, and according to the surveillance at the intersection, she was followed by a man riding a bicycle, but that car was a stolen vehicle; about 10 minutes later, the Yuxi Department returned to the same road returned, and the man did not follow."

third person?

But in terms of behavior, this third person should be someone who has nothing to do with this case.

Just to be cautious, Garcia needs to track down the identity, whereabouts and other information of the man who suddenly appeared.

"Hotch, there's something wrong with this outfit." Emily frowned and handed the photo to Hotch, "Compared with the outfit during the competition, many details have been changed."

"We have at most 48 hours to investigate this house again." The first three victims were about 72 hours from disappearance to encounter, while the No.4 victim's holding time was suddenly shortened to more than forty For an hour, for Yan Yuxi... For various reasons, the possibility that she may be in danger in a short period of time is not low.

My head hurts, my consciousness is a little confused, and I don't seem to be able to fully wake up for a while.

Is it the sound of footsteps?

The cold feeling coming from the back made the person who had been unconscious for a long time gradually wake up. After waking up, he reflexively wanted to sit up, and when he moved his body, he felt the restraint on the wrists and ankles.

Handcuffs, ankle shackles... These are the muscles and bones that she can't get rid of even if she breaks her hands and feet.

Somewhat dejectedly, he lay down on the metal bed, the hard and cold touch made Yu Xi realize that he was only wearing a sling.

damn it!

There was no point in cursing silently, maybe she was just trying to calm herself down.

All she can do now is try to deal with the person holding her hostage after they appear, and buy enough time for herself, enough time for people to find her!

It's not the first time I've been in a situation like this, and I've had experience, so I'm going to put that experience to good use.

If she could, she would never want to have such an experience in her life!

The author has something to say: I suddenly found that the numbers I updated are really good~~~(≧▽≦)/~
