[Comprehensive British and American] Is the earth destroyed today?

"Bloody reverse cross?" Lian Wei couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the scene. Religious belief kills?It's a pity that Rome, Greek gods, and Hebrew gods are not the same thing at all. That is, the timing is indeed a bit too coincidental. A person who was tracking down the whereabouts of the artifact was killed during the investigation by the FBI. It was just a coincidence, Lian Wei didn't believe it anyway.

However, thinking about his unlucky experience before, Lian Wei decided to be more cautious, after all, sometimes things are really such a coincidence!He couldn't let preconceived ideas cloud his judgment like those brainless Boston cops.However, Lian Wei looked at the scars on the corpse and couldn't help but admire: "Perfect strength!"

Because, the whole corpse, five wounds, one throat cut, perfectly cut the jugular vein and throat but did not cut off the head and did not hurt the artery - this ensured that the blood would not splatter and go out everywhere ; The remaining four wounds were on the limbs, and the depth was perfectly controlled-the blood would neither coagulate nor splash out before it ran out, and the tendons of the hands and hamstrings were broken very justly.Lian Wei had reason to believe that the deceased had watched him die of excessive blood loss.

Although this process is said to be long or long, Lian Wei believes that the feeling of watching himself die is definitely not a good experience.

"William?" Reid called out Lian Wei's name in disbelief.

Lian Wei suddenly came back to his senses, annoyed in his heart, tsk, he's been too free lately, he almost forgot his original personality - he's obviously a law-abiding citizen!How come you pretend to be a villain and become addicted?Lian Wei couldn't help coughing dryly twice, and covered it up: "I'm sorry, I have a bit of an occupational disease. He is very steady with the knife. If he becomes a surgeon, he might be able to achieve something. It's a pity that his skills are not used in the right way."

Lian Wei showed a comforting smile to Rhett while talking, oh, his nervousness just now seemed to scare their little doctor, this is not something to be proud of, it seems that he did not do enough homework It's in place—it's not a good phenomenon to be affected by his own disguise, he must overcome this disadvantage as soon as possible.

"... Is it like this?" Rhett replied suspiciously. He always felt that the negative aura on Lian Wei seemed to be much stronger than the last time he met. He knew that many geniuses were more likely to suffer from mental illness than ordinary people. As a friend, he doesn't want Lian Wei to go astray by accident.Rhett decided that he would have time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lian Wei after the case was over—maybe he could ask for leave and invite Lian Wei to visit the National Library of New York together—Rett thought silently.

Hotchina glanced at Lian Wei, and said with something in his words: "Yes, doctors and murderers both use knives, but one saves people, while the other kills people... It would be great if he could use his skills on the right path. !"

Lian Wei couldn't laugh or cry at Hotchner's cryptic mention, even if he was a bit of a slut recently, but no matter what, he couldn't possibly kill someone?As a child who grew up under the red banner, he has a much deeper understanding of the crime of killing than they do—killing for life, he has no plans to die, and naturally it is impossible to kill, to be honest, even Wei has never understood that some states in the United States do not have the death penalty.It's just that the country is different and the culture is different, so he won't talk about it at will. After all, he is not a superman, and at most he can show kindness within his ability. If there is more, forget it.

One time is enough for Batman to beat the Joker... Thinking of Brucey's blue eyes, Lian Wei's thoughts paused for two seconds, and then he sighed helplessly, well, if Batman next time If you are willing to let him touch his cat ears-he dares!Isn't it just a clown?Mr. Chou shouldn't be such a stingy person, right?If it really doesn't work, he's going to make a fool of himself and ask Mr. Chou to help him act?Huh?Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that this idea is highly operable!

"Okay! Let's start the autopsy!" Henry's serious voice interrupted Lian Wei's fugue, and Lian Wei immediately came to his senses - this is not a place to be in a daze. to work.

"Decedent, male, 49 years old, with five wounds, the murder weapon - a flat and long sharp weapon, probably something like a long sword by visual inspection, cause of death: excessive blood loss... the murderer did it after bleeding all the blood on the deceased's body I nailed him to the wall, if my predictions are correct..." Lian Wei said, his eyes fell on the inverted cross behind the deceased: "The cross here should be drawn with the blood of the deceased." But he still You can tell the difference between the taste of human blood and other blood.

"That's right." Henry affirmed Lian Wei's guess: "I tested the cross blood stain from the last scene, and it was the victim's blood. Moreover, I also found verbena in it."

"Verbena, a sacred flower, is often used as decoration in religious activities. In the past, people believed that inserting it in front of the patient's bed could relieve the spell, and it was even believed to be used to restrain vampires." Reid Popular science without thinking.

"The murderer is a religious fan?" Rhett murmured doubtfully after finishing speaking.

"Why not a fanatic?" Morgan asked immediately.

Before Rhett could open his mouth this time, Henry shook his head sarcastically and said, "I'm not a believer, blood-colored reverse cross, blood-letter ten-bound, if any believer grabs God's business like that, God will definitely kick him into it in anger." hell!"

"Well, the crucifixion is actually a nail, but..." Reid quickly glanced at the victim's hands nailed to the wall with two short daggers, and suggested: "Maybe we can trace the murder weapon again, Whether it is these daggers or the murderer's long sword, it should not be so easy to buy." Especially in the case that the murderer has used four identical short daggers to crucify the two victims, one It's impossible for people to buy that many bladed knives without being noticed.

"But we have run out of time." Gideon shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about where he bought his dagger... We checked it before and didn't find anything, and it's probably the same now. But at least from the current situation It can be seen that our murderer is very calm, the previous victims were not crucified as they are now, the cross, the reverse cross, there must be some unnoticed relationship between them."

"And a person who is not a believer wants to crucify the person he killed. Is he showing off? No, it should be a ceremony, and judging from his arrangement, his technique is not unfamiliar. Such a ceremony He must have performed it many times—the first victim didn't perform this ritual, didn't he think of it? No, it was too short of time, and he didn't have time to prepare what was needed for the ritual." Morgan immediately brought into the murderer's Analyze the information he sees in the position.

"But this ceremony doesn't seem to require much preparation--verbena or a dagger, the only two things he can spend time preparing for." Rhett added.

"The verbena or the dagger?" Hochner thought.

"It's verbena." Henry answered them directly: "He doesn't lack a dagger, what he needs is verbena."

"Huh? How do you know?" Now everyone's eyes were on Henry.

After thinking along the train of thought of everyone in bau, Henry blurted out what was in his mind, and couldn't help but froze. This was a bit embarrassing. How could he explain this?Yes, he knew that the other party should be a demon hunter, and as an experienced demon hunter who even upholds the tradition and arranges the scene to suppress the dead, he will definitely not lack his own source of equipment - a few daggers are definitely for him It's nothing, maybe he will carry so much with him.But how could he explain this reason to them?

Fortunately, Lian Wei resolved the crisis for him: "Because these daggers have traces of use—although they have been idle for a long time and have been maintained with great care, they have indeed been used. Look, have the handles been worn? Flat scratches."

"...Okay, but even that doesn't mean that they weren't second-hand goods bought by the murderer." Mo Gen spread his hands and shrugged.

Lian Wei couldn't help but glanced at him strangely. Just when Mo Gen asked him why he was staring at him, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "If you have a set of pure handmade and well-made silver You wouldn't be willing to sell daggers."

Lian Wei raised his eyebrows, looked at the two figures at the door, waved his hands, and said, "Hi Neil, what a coincidence!"

Neil Caffrey's smile couldn't help froze, but he still responded with a smile: "Hi, William." Although he had seen Lian Wei just outside the door, but when he thought of what Lian Wei said in the group With what he said, Neil couldn't face Lian Wei calmly like before—he couldn't treat human life like nothing.

Neil selectively skipped the introduction, which made Peter Bolk look at him and Lian Wei more. However, the bloody scene in the room left him with less time to ask about Neil's anomaly: " Hello, FBI Economic Crime Unit, Peter Bolk."

"Hello, FBI's bau team, Aaron Hotchner."

Seeing the bigwigs from the two families greet each other, Lian Wei also introduced himself: "William Ayer, temporary medical examiner."

"Henry Morgan, nyd medical examiner." Henry glanced at a guy who deliberately misled others, but he didn't choose to expose him on the spot. After all, what Lian Wei said was not wrong, he was indeed a temporary medical examiner, but, Not the makeshift coroner attached to the NYPD that Peter thought.

After everyone got to know each other, they immediately talked about business.After all, neither the Bau team nor Peter and Neil have a low work intensity. As qualified FBI agents, they don't have the habit of wasting time—Peter briefly summarized the cases they were investigating, and talked with The bau team had a simple exchange of information.

Rhett and the others were not idle either, Hotchner was busy exchanging information with Peter, Gideon led the others to exchange profiles of the murderer, and Henry began to put the corpse down from the wall to take Back to his NYPD forensic lab for testing.And Lian Wei quietly retreated to the door when they were communicating, and finally broke away after confirming that no one noticed him.

And Neil, who had been staring at Lian Wei, naturally couldn't let him run around alone, so Dang even used the excuse of looking for clues to not give Peter any chance to refute, and then ran out.

The two slipped into Harrison Hall's bedroom one after another. Neil, who came a step late, looked at Lian Wei who had already taken off his gloves and threw them in the sink, and then began to look around the room. He asked nervously, "What exactly do you want?"

Lian Wei scratched his head helplessly. To be honest, he didn’t have that much defense against Neil. After all, as a master of deception, there is no doubt that Neil Caffrey’s mouth is very strict. There are reasons to believe that he can keep secrets for himself. Secondly, Neil is a person with a not weak moral sense. In fact, if his moral sense is weak, he should still be in prison instead of becoming a special consultant of the fbi.

However, who made him a rare existence among the villains with more positive three views?He can't play around with Chaoying. Facing Neil, a little sheep who seems to have fallen into a wolf's den like him, Lian Wei couldn't help but want to tease him.However, after all the fun, Lian Wei also knew that if he continued playing like this, Neil would definitely sell him out. After all, the friendship between Neil and Peter was not something he could afford to gamble on. Besides, Even if he gambled, Lian Wei didn't feel that his friendship with Neil was more important than his freedom and his friendship with Peter.

Therefore, after careful consideration by Lian Wei, Lian Wei decided that he wanted to hint to Neil that he had a problem—after all, he was just pretending to be a villain, and it would be no fun if no one believed that he was not a villain until the end. Besides, He doesn't have a good friend like Professor X to speak for him, so he needs to bury his own secrets—it's better to make people feel that he has deep difficulties when necessary.

"Shh - don't ask if you shouldn't. Do you still remember the self-protection secrets I told you? Listen more, watch more, do more, and talk less." Lian Wei said so, his eyes still did not stop looking around the behavior of.

Neil was taken aback when he heard the familiar topic, and he couldn't help but relax his guard for a moment, but the next second, he tensed up again, and asked, "Why? Can I not even intervene in my own business?" ?”

Hearing Neil's aggressive words, Lian Wei couldn't help but stop his movements, oh, it seems that he scared people too much, Neil rarely uttered such sharp words.Although this resistance was a bit intense, it did not exceed Lian Wei's expectations. Lian Wei raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, and whispered in Neil's ear before he could react: " Leave it alone if you don’t want to die.”

Logically speaking, he should have regarded this as a threat, but Neil, who saw the complex and worried flashes on Lian Wei's face, couldn't help being vigilant—he made his friend himself. Neil also didn't want to believe that Lian Wei was that kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person, it was just—what was the reason why he said that before doing this now?

Neil felt as if he had fallen into a vicious circle—just like when he tracked down Kate—his friends were always hiding some information from him, and that information was the key to explain everything that was unreasonable.

However, before the truth surfaced, everything was just guesswork. Neil knew very well that Lian Wei was not inferior to him in terms of lies, so after he was silent for a while, he just took a step back and stood at the door, He quietly watched Lian Wei rummaging through the house, but he still asked, "What is Harrison Hall looking for?"

Lian Wei was silent for a moment, and then accompanied by Lian Wei turning the lamp holder, a hidden door suddenly appeared behind the closet, and Neil heard Lian Wei's inaudible answer: "Sword, the sword of the gods."
