"Dudu, connected and morgan—Amazing Commissioner Garcia is here to serve you." When the phone was connected, Garcia greeted briskly as usual, and then got to the point, "Those places are really in the small town. A place where people often go, I cross-checked the list of those who were present on the day of the crime, and found—"

She emphasized her tone, and I heard the crackling sound of the keyboard again, and she seemed to press the enter key hard before continuing: "18 people were present at the time, and then I searched their criminal records—— The town seems to be really peaceful--it's amazing that I didn't find anyone with a criminal record among these people! Not even theft or fights!"

"Of course, I only checked their credit cards, but some people in this small town like to use cash, so it's hard to find out." She spoke very fast, but it was not as good as Reid's, "I can do it The only thing we can do is check their criminal records one by one."

"Garcia, our unsub is still a newcomer and has no experience. Are there any teenagers among the 18 people?" The voice came from the phone.

There was another typing sound on the phone, and Garcia spoke quickly: "No——I will speed up the investigation."

"Okay, Garcia, I mainly check on teenagers." Hotch said, Garcia responded confidently: "Okay, Garcia will serve you later!"

She hung up the phone and looked at us, then walked to the reception room: "We went to the hospital to see the victim, they didn't know how the fire started, there was nothing abnormal at all."

Morgan and they all came back soon, Morgan frowned his dark and thick eyebrows and said: "The first and second scenes look like a complete accident, it seems that Unsub didn't intend to."

"It's the same with the third one." He crossed his hands and said with a habitual smile, "but the fourth one, although no one was injured, seemed to make him realize the beauty of fire... The door of the toilet has some fireproof effect , If it is not continuously burned, it is impossible to burn such a big hole."

I remembered the hole in the toilet door, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case. If I didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have discovered it—this is a very dangerous signal, indicating that unsub has begun to realize something, and his behavior is likely to escalate .

A police officer opened the door of the reception room: "Several charred animal carcasses were found near the town just now, and the sheriff is on his way now."

"This is not good news." Wei Wei said with a sigh, he glanced at us, and walked out without saying anything.

Those animals seem to have been discarded there randomly. This is the edge of the forest, and many people pass by every day. It seems that he put these animals here so that others can find them.

There is no trace at the scene, and it is impossible to judge whether our unsub did it. If so, then his criminal behavior has escalated.

"What does this mean?" The sheriff looked at the corpses of these small animals and asked, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Although the frequency of the first three cases was very fast, the unsub did not seem to be intentional, but the bar and this time obviously made him Feeling the pull of the flames on him - it's an escalation of criminal behavior, and when he's not satisfied with the animal, he may turn to killing."

"And it usually doesn't take a long time." Looking at the charred animal carcasses on the ground, they are actually just rabbits and birds. They are very common in this woods. I know people who live in the mountains will go hunting and roasting to eat directly. But these animals in unsub have been baked for too long, they are all black, and we can only determine what kind of animal it is from the outline.

A few police officers searched the woods, came back after a while without finding anything, thought for a while and said, "Publish the profile."

The rest of the people nodded without any objection. This time, I seemed to have some vague clues. On the way back, I sorted it out into a specific train of thought. As soon as I got back to the police station, I asked the sheriff to release the profile. Asked, he was the first to speak: "We are sure that the person we are looking for is a teenager. He may have been very good before, and you didn't even find him interested in this aspect, but recently he has been stimulated, so he started to commit crimes."

"He doesn't like to communicate with people, and he is often alone." Hotch looked at the police officers and said, "But it won't make others hate him, and he won't be very conspicuous in the crowd, or most people don't like him." Will notice him."

"He would go to places like bars and lively restaurants, and no one noticed him, which means that he is not afraid of crowds, which means that he is not instinctively repulsed by places where crowds gather, it may just be because he is unusual. Actively becoming withdrawn." Reid said quickly, frowning.

A police officer below raised his hand, and we all looked at him. He was quite young, and he said nervously: "Uh, I don't quite understand why he is withdrawn. If there are many people, wouldn't it be better to be enthusiastic and gregarious?" Isn't it easy to attract attention?"

"This will make others notice his unusual movements." Morgan replied, "But our unsub set fire several times without anyone noticing, which means that he is an unremarkable person. Everyone may know him, so they all put it down. Vigilant, but not very familiar with him, so no one noticed him."

The policeman nodded and sat down, and Elle continued: "He used cash, not a credit card, he lacks enough compassion for animals, and he is probably not friendly enough for the neighbor's dog, if you Talk to him and you'll see he's sometimes cynical."

"He was terrified during the days of the first three fires." I licked my lips and said, I used to watch them post profiles and I watched from below, and now I'm standing here being watched by all the police officers At that time, I felt a subtle sense of pride, and I cleared my throat and continued, "And the last two times may have made him feel a little funny, so he will pay attention to the progress of our investigation, and he may also feel that pride."

He and Reid turned to look at me, I was a little apprehensive, afraid that I might say something wrong, but luckily I just took a look and then turned around and made the conclusion: "So we need to find him as soon as possible, his criminal behavior is escalating, next time One shot could start killing people."

I breathed a sigh of relief and gained some confidence, which means that my studies have improved in the past few months, at least I can also start to try to find something wrong from some clues left by unsub, and my analysis Also got the recognition, which is really a great encouragement to me.

We released the profile photo very quickly this time. We haven’t even moved our luggage into the hotel. There are very few people here, so there are no large hotels. There is only a small hotel run by people from the town. The first floor is the living room And the kitchen, the second floor and the third floor are rooms, the rooms are not big, and a bit small, two people live in one room h and rgan and reid, jj and elle, I just got a bye.

It seems that this house was not originally used to open a hotel. There is only one bathroom on the third floor, and the second floor is the house where the owner and his family live, and there is only one bathroom.

This caused us to queue up to take a shower - this accommodation is not even as good as my previous dormitory!At least my dorm has bathrooms.

In order to stagger with the peak, I deliberately took the clothes to take a shower just after dinner. I didn't expect someone to wash it in it at this moment, but he finished washing it soon.

His wet forehead hair looks a bit curly, and a towel is hanging around his neck, and his whole body seems to be exuding a wave of water vapor. His already tender face looks even tenderer than mine, but this time he is more tender. Instead of wearing the blue pajamas, he was wearing a set of sports clothes.

It's the first time I've seen him dressed like this!Before, I only thought that light-colored shirts were very suitable for him, but now it seems that this sporty style is also very suitable for him!

The key is that his face looks good!So look good no matter what you wear!

"I've never seen you wear clothes like this before." I tugged at the hat on his hoodie, and Reid hurriedly held down his own hat, turned around and looked at me helplessly and aggrievedly: "Maggie!"

"You look good in your clothes." I walked the scene for a day, and now I am relaxed and can't help but want to tease Reid. Seeing him like this, I immediately put all the negative emotions aside, and my mood brightened , Reid seemed a little embarrassed to be praised so bluntly by me. He shrank his face back and looked away uncomfortably. I laughed and praised him: "You are so cute when you are shy."

He licked his lips and replied, "You... you're cute too, Maggie."

This shy look is really cute no matter how you look at it, but I am holding a change of clothes in my hand, and I am not very capable of molesting him, so I can only let him go regretfully, stand on tiptoe and kiss his chin—— He is really a bit tall for me at 163.

"It's still very early, let's go out to inspect together later? Bau won't have a meeting tonight, right?" I took a step back and smiled at him before he could react. Reid nodded blankly. Not used to my closeness, he spoke after a while: "There won't be a meeting."

"Okay, then I'll come to you later." I smiled and went into the bathroom.

When I dried my hair and went to look for him in Reid's room, Morgan was also in the room. When he saw me, he let out a loud "Wow" and turned his head towards Reid: "Hey, Reid, I really envy you .”

Reid didn't speak, but glared at him, Morgan said while hahaha: "If I ask you later, I'll tell him the truth."

"What fact? Let's patrol the streets." I looked at him, Morgan sat on the bed and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, you have the final say."

As soon as Reid and I turned around, Morgan stopped us from behind: "Be careful - remember to protect Reid."

"I should be the one protecting her." Reid frowned and complained, "At least I'm a man."

I smiled and took his hand: "Yes, my dear genius, I need your protection."

Morgan was already on the bed laughing so hard that he couldn't stand upright. Reid looked at me and then at Morgan, pouted his lips slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, I quickly corrected my attitude and said, "Reid, there is a difference between brains and force. That's enough, if you are in charge of the brain, then I have no choice but to be in charge of force, if you are also in charge of the force part, it will seem so useless to me, you will always give me a way out."

Reid didn't speak any more, but his emotions still didn't seem too high. I thought for a while and continued: "People like you stand at the top of the pyramid, and people like me are just serving as your thugs! You have to think so."

"You seem to be getting better at talking." Reid looked at me with a frown, and I quickly looked at him with an innocent and kind smile. He finally chose not to speak and pulled me out of the door.
