In the end, only Alina and Rhett were left in the rather large office, and the considerate Morgan even closed the door behind him.

"Erina, can we have a talk?" After deliberating for a while, Reid looked at Elina seriously, and it seemed that he had already made up his mind.

"Now?" Alina wasn't used to this kind of Rhett, he rarely stared into her eyes all the time, and he remained firm.

Normally, if two people looked at each other, Rhett would be the one to look away first, but not this time, he wasn't as shy and uneasy as usual, or he was just holding on to his bewilderment.

"Not now, but we need to have a conversation for a long time, right? First... I escaped, and then you, I don't think it's good to procrastinate like this, what do you think?" Rhett actually saw clearly all the time.

Also, there is always a subtle feeling in the relationship between a man and a woman, and most ordinary people can feel it.

What's more, BAU is more sensitive than ordinary people, even if he was a little slow at the beginning, how could he not understand it all the time.

Colleagues who meet almost every day, whether they have a good impression of each other, whether they have a good impression of each other, or whether they are hot, both parties have feelings.

So there is no such thing as one party having a secret love for many years and the other party not knowing about it at all.

It's the same with Rhett and Alina. Alina can feel Rhett's inseparability. Could it be that Rhett can't feel Elina's deception from beginning to end?

"Okay... we will have a conversation..." To end the unknown attraction between the two, Elina also felt that it was time. Although they did not affect their work, there was no point in procrastinating like this.

After all, they are different and will go down different paths.

Reid will always be the righteous FBI, but Alina, she doesn't know where she will go, and how far she will go for the death of her parents.

After getting to know each other for a long time, Elina will feel that she has grown a lot in these cases, so why not Rhett, he has experienced more cases than her, more dark side of human nature, growth is always unconscious between.

But it was not enough, Elina still felt that she was different from Rhett.

Her burden was too heavy, and after three years of revenge, she wasn't sure she could come back safe and sound.

As for Rhett, even though he was older than her, but girls matured earlier than men, and Alina was forced to mature by life.

She felt that Rhett was maturing, she could feel it, but she couldn't wait anymore, and sooner or later she had to go back to face her own responsibilities, she couldn't and didn't want to drag other people's feelings.

"Why don't I feel happy that you have your decision?" Rhett could be the greatest observer if he wanted to.

He found Alina's determination, and he felt relieved, but the next moment, he found that Elina's determination might not be pleasant.

"We can delay too much, it's okay to say it." Alina looked away from Rhett's eyes, because he had penetrating eyes.

"Elena..." Reid's expression was more serious than when he encountered a serious case. He frowned. Elina has always been a difficult mystery. Now, he seems to understand Elina more and more, but... …and don’t understand anything, it’s a bad feeling to be so incomprehensible.

Hozner came back from the phone call with an even more ambiguous expression than usual.

Although they all look like poker faces, the degree of black face is still different.

He came back, Morgan, who hadn't gone far, and Emily also came back, and Rossi who was paying attention here also came back, obviously because of Hozner's face.

"I tried to contact Alice Rodriguez just now, but she died, just now, in prison." Hozner looked at everyone who gathered automatically.

"As for the cause of death, I remember that she is still asking for an appeal." Alina was the one who paid the most attention to the results of previous trials, so she asked the fastest.

"The official statement is that she died suddenly because of an emergency. But in fact, she was killed by a felon who could never get out of prison." Hozner has made several phone calls and learned about the incident. The beginning and the end of the matter.

"A person who sacrifices others will also become a victim. Her ending is not regrettable, but she can't be happy either." Emily also has a deep memory of this Alice Rodriguez who ordered the murder. It's not good. kind of.

"Why did that felon kill her?" Alina felt the smell of conspiracy.

"The felon committed suicide afterward. Where did his murder weapon come from? Why did he kill Alice Rodriguez, whom he didn't know? I don't know... There is no clue." Hozner said in the last tone with sigh.

"Looking at the time, this matter is inseparable from that hacker. We just got a clue here, and it was a snap to kill people there immediately." Morgan said everyone's thoughts.

"What should we do now? Alice Rodriguez can't provide any clues." Rossi looked at Hozina, wondering what he was thinking.

"Alice Rodriguez's lawyer approached me not long ago, saying that Alice Rodriguez wanted to provide clues about the real behind-the-scenes manipulator of the case, and wanted to make a deal with us. She couldn't accept so many years of imprisonment. "The reason for Hozner's real black face is finally said.

"Of course you refused. There is nothing wrong with that. At that time, we all thought that there was nothing missing in this case. Although the hacker was not found, Alice Rodriguez absolutely cannot escape the instigation of murder." Rossi felt There is nothing wrong with Hozner's decision. Even if we encounter difficulties now, we can't blame Hozner's decision at that time. After all, the amount of information they have is different before and after.

"It turns out that she did know something, otherwise why would she have been silenced. And I missed this opportunity, and I will miss it forever." Hozner was indeed annoyed, because the clues were lost from his fingers.

"From now on, even if you went to see Alice Rodriguez at that time, you probably saw her body. The people standing behind the scenes would not let her expose herself." Reid's analysis was right. Hozner actually thought about this too, but he still didn't want to excuse himself.

"Okay, it was always my mistake this time. Let's put this case to an end first, everyone go back and have a rest, we still have work tomorrow." Hozner didn't feel any more emotion, directly took the responsibility and planned to let everyone Back to the hotel to rest.

Looking at the time, it was already two o'clock in the morning, except for the police officers on duty, the police station was also empty.

After returning to the hotel exhausted, everyone fell asleep, only Rhett and Alina, who were in different rooms, were equally troubled by tossing and turning.

Both were tired, but the conversation at the police station earlier wasn't so easy to get out of their heads, especially in a quiet space.

The other party's words, expressions, own words, performance, are constantly recalled.

Either feeling annoyed or disturbed, the quality of sleep for the two of them was destined to be poor that night.

The next morning, BAU showed up neatly at the police station, and the police ordered breakfast for everyone.

While everyone was eating breakfast, Garcia yawned and reported on the battle with the hackers yesterday.

"Garcia, how many hours did you sleep yesterday?" Alina couldn't help asking Garcia, who had not yet shown up with dark circles, but was about to come.

"Hmm...probably...maybe...three hours?" Garcia hesitated when asked.

"You don't need to ask, she's definitely not asleep... Babygirl, don't try to hide it." Morgan took a sip of coffee and directly exposed Garcia.

"Hehe... being a colleague with you guys puts me under a lot of pressure!" Garcia also took a sip of coffee to suppress his shock.

"Garcia, tell me what you've gained, solve it as soon as possible, and go to rest earlier." Hozina spoke. Seeing that they had been talking for a long time without getting to the point, he felt that the black line on his forehead was densely covered.

"Well, I didn't get what we wanted directly from the hacker, but when he and I were chasing after each other, I sneaked around him and slowly found an IP. Now, I'm still Confirm the owner of this IP." A system tone came from Garcia's side, she had been busy all night, and she had to gain something no matter what.

I saw that Garcia didn't directly say what she had gained, but continued to face the computer next to her, which seemed to surprise her.

"Garcia, what's the matter? Where is it?" Emily didn't eat the sandwich. Everyone knew that the key to solving the case should appear.

"I now suspect that the IP I found is incorrect, or that the capable hacker gave me a fake IP on purpose. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look right." Garcia seems to be reconfirming his harvest to ensure accuracy.

"You re-confirm, and then tell us quickly that the media is already ready to move. I have received calls from several media asking when we will hold a press conference, and let us explain the danger that this city is facing now."** Already I went back and forth and answered several calls.

"I checked again. I didn't find anything wrong before. It was this IP. I couldn't find the address at first, because it was an official encrypted IP. I almost broke into the official firewall..." Garcia moved to the computer again Before, "Fortunately, I found this IP very familiar, and then I confirmed that it is the same IP as the one you are connecting with my video now. So... Be careful, guys."

** is the closest to the door, and immediately got up, trying to close the door.

Morgan, who was sitting next to her, asked her to sit down immediately, and went to close the door by himself.

BAU in the first office and Garcia across from the computer looked at each other.

"We are very close to the exit, so nothing serious will happen." Alina recalled the location of this office again.

"Don't drink coffee yet." Morgan thought about the coffee provided by the police station yesterday.

"That's not the case. There was nothing wrong yesterday, but let's find out who knows the law and broke the law." Rossi didn't put down the half-drinked coffee.

"Garcia, we can start narrowing down the scope of the unsub, the police department's white males aged 35-45." Hozner asked Garcia to start the search.

As soon as Garcia heard that it was Hozina's order, he immediately started working, "There are a lot of people, and there are the most policemen at this age."

"Exclude married ones." Rosie had already finished the breakfast sandwiches.

"Most of them were removed, but there are still 23 people. You know, the current divorce rate." Garcia quickly gave a new list.

"According to their schedule, select those who have time to commit crimes." Hozner added the basis for the deletion.

"Okay! Cross-compare the schedules I got. There are no police officers on Friday mornings for four consecutive weeks..." Garcia called up the duty form he found. "The result is...zero! None."
