After the car is far away from the city, we can hardly see the two sides. We can only see the place where the high beams of the car are illuminated. The two sides can really be said to be invisible.

The same is true at the entrance of the forest, but due to the discovery of another corpse, the cordon has been expanded, and the number of people and lights inside has increased. We saw the lights on the scene after walking for a long time, and took a closer look. It was found that there were still a few lighting devices, and it was obvious that the careful sheriff had noticed even this.

The corpse was placed a few hundred meters away from the cordon at that time, and the people at the scene had almost left. When it was about to get off work, a police officer who was left behind to guard the scene couldn't help but want to go to the toilet. After running a little further, he heard that the body was buried shallowly, with a piece of clothing exposed, so he hurriedly called his colleagues, and they reported it to the sheriff, who then told us.

The body had been carefully exhumed by the time we arrived, it was still a young white female, in her twenties, dressed in red, with her hands on her stomach, unsub apparently posed for her, and Not placed randomly.

"Unsub tidied up her appearance, and didn't throw it away at will." I recalled what I said in class, and frowned somewhat incomprehensibly, "Is this a sign of regret? It doesn't look like it, killing so many people How can a person have the intention of repenting?"

He squatted down and touched the victim's hair through the gloves, opened the victim's mouth, looked carefully, and then turned her head: "There is no trace of torture, and there is no aphtha in her mouth. She should not have been tortured." imprisoned."

Reid also put on the gloves, pulled up the sleeves of the corpse and looked at it, and pulled down her collar a little bit, the hideous wound was turned outwards, it was obvious that Unsub was using a lot of force, without any hesitation: "There is no trace of binding, It was preliminarily determined that the fatal injury was on the neck, and there was no blood on the clothes, which were changed half an hour after the victim's death, and a more specific autopsy needs to be handed over to the coroner."

"This is not a confession." Standing up, slowly took off the gloves, still looking at the victim on the ground, sighed slightly and said, "There is no hesitation in the incision, unsub may be expressing his respect for his 'work' Appreciation, and provocation to us."

Everyone's expressions were not very good-looking. The police officers searched the victim's body, but did not find any identification items. It seems that the identity of the victim will not be known until the test results come out.

I took a flashlight and followed the police to a relatively distant place to find clues, but since it is night, it is not as convenient as daytime. Even though we have tried our best to be very careful, we still haven't found any clues. Everyone feels very frustrated.

The winter night is dark and cold, coupled with a long time of ineffective searching, I feel a little hungry, and because it has far exceeded my usual sleep time, I have survived the sleepiness before, and now I am getting more energetic That's enough.

The police officers transported the body back, but no blood was found nearby, indicating that Unsub killed someone elsewhere and then transported it here.

Although the victim was a woman, she was not light. If a person carried it in from the edge of the forest, it would take a lot of strength, and the police officers not far away could not transport the body here without alarming the police officers not far away. transported.

So if the father and son committed the crime together, the son should not be too young.

A guess gradually arose in my heart, but this can only be confirmed after the autopsy report is released.

After we got back to the hotel, we took the time to take a nap. When we arrived at the police station in the morning, many police officers had already gone to the forest. It seemed that we planned to see if there were any clues during the day. The victim's photo went to a small town near the forest to ask if there were any relevant clues.

I went to the forest with morgan and others, and reid and I went to the autopsy room. The corpses sent in the early morning have now been tested. The coroner in a white coat didn't know what he was doing. After seeing us coming in, he came over and took us to the Next to a stainless steel mortuary bed, the white cloth was lifted, revealing the victim's face: "The DNA test has not been completed yet, and her identity is not yet known."

This is expected, but there is no way to rush the dna test, so we can only wait patiently.

The coroner picked up the cover-up report and explained to us: "Based on the plaques and rigor, the time of death of the victim should be around [-] o'clock last night. The fatal injury was the neck, which was fatal with a knife. There were no other wounds on the body, and there was no resistance. The traces may have been killed suddenly."

He gently pressed the wound on the victim's neck through rubber gloves, and showed us: "The wound is very deep. According to the direction of the knife wound, the murderer was right-handed. He killed the victim from behind. There are corpse spots on his back." , should be head-up for a long time."

"There is no blood on the victim," the coroner raised the victim's right hand and pointed to the crevices of her nails. I looked carefully and found some blood in her nails. The coroner continued, "The victim There was blood under the fingernails but not on the body, and the killer did a basic cleaning of the victim."

"I checked the victim and found that there were traces of sexual assault, which was carried out after death." The coroner looked at us and said, "It has been tested, but it may not be able to detect anything."

I frowned in disgust, sexual assault after death?This is almost beyond my tolerance, but although it is a bit abnormal, it also confirms my guess.

I turned to Reid, who was standing next to me, frowning slightly: "I have an idea."

Reid looked over, blinked at me, and motioned for me to continue talking. I rationalized my thoughts and said, "Combined, this is the conjecture of the father and his son. Maybe the son has grown up, and the father is choosing a bride for his son."

"Wait a minute." Reid thought about what I said, then took out his phone, turned on the speakerphone, and handed it to me.

It was the first time I spoke to them like this, and I was a little nervous when I thought about it.

After clearing my mind, I cleared my throat: "The crime peaks once every 20 years or so. This time is just enough for a person to grow up, and then my father will take his son to choose a bride to have a child. Killed, this is a cycle of 20 years, and usually kills one person every few years."

"Why must it be a son?" asked over the phone, "What if it's a daughter? We didn't find any bones from the baby."

I thought about it carefully and said: "Generally speaking, my offspring are not treated the same as those women who were killed. Those babies were probably buried in their own cemetery instead of being randomly discarded in the forest...Of course It may also be taking care of their daily life, but in this case, the population of their family has increased, which is not suitable for keeping secret, so I am more inclined to be killed."

"Should a big family that has lasted for a hundred years have its own cemetery?" I looked at Reid uncertainly, and Reid nodded to confirm my guess: "They should have a cemetery that they are used to. Judging by their behavior, this should be a family that respects tradition very much, and all ancestors should be buried together, and those babies may also be buried there."

"And their residence won't be far from the forest." I added and asked after a moment of silence on the other end: "Then why can they be sure that their wives won't denounce themselves?"

I froze for a moment, the answer was obviously knowingly asking, but I'd rather the answer be wrong: "They kill a woman shortly after she gives birth."

"We have also found some clues here, and I will be back soon. You go and tell the sheriff that we are going to release the profile." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Reid and I went back to the police station to find the sheriff. He notified the police officers who were searching for clues in the small town to come back. After those people in the forest came back with them, we stood in a crowded police station and posted profiles.

"I believe that the people we are looking for are white father and son." Looking around at the people in the police station, they all listened to us seriously, he smiled slightly and said, "We thought they might be two people, but through Simulations, we found that it was probably three people."

A police officer raised his hand and asked, "Why three people? Two people are also very reasonable."

Reid took over the conversation: "The latest victim's body spot is on the back, obviously facing up for a long time. We originally predicted that the two people would use the posture of carrying, but now this conclusion is obviously overturned, and her belly The absence of bruises is also a good testament to this statement. She should have been carried. Two people carried it, and they put the body down so close to the police. Obviously, someone needs to observe it, so at least four people .”

Obviously we went to the autopsy room together and heard the coroner say these together, but I didn't notice what Reid said, which made me a little annoyed.

"Yes, what he said is right," agreed, and then added something, "And the cover-up reports of the first two victims came out, and the methods were a little different. Although they were both very ruthless, they were both jerky. It couldn't be That father did it."

"The autopsy report showed that R was pregnant and she was a pair of twins, and her ancestors did not have the gene of twins, so we guess it should be the gene of unsub." Hotch pursed his lips and said seriously.

"Unsub's arm is very strong, which can be seen from the victim's wound," Emily said, waving her arm slightly in front of her, "so my son may be engaged in some strength work, rather than clerical work."

"The focus is on those jobs that do not require a degree, such as helpers, because unsub may not have been to school since he was a child, and he was completely taught by his father, so he may not have a high level of education." Morgan said.

"They should be weird in the eyes of others. They may go back to their hometown during this time. All the wives in their family died shortly after giving birth. Maybe they still have a name like 'cursed' in the local area." I looked around at the people in the police station, they all looked at me, and many of them were brushing and taking notes, "There may be a room for confinement in their home, which is used to lock up victims."

"We need to find them as soon as possible. Unsub is a twin, which means that they will kill faster than we originally expected." He made a conclusion, and then smiled slightly, "Thank you."
