[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

The whole process took only two or three minutes, but Morgan suddenly lost his hunger.Shaking his head weakly, he walked to a bench not far away and sat down, slowly sorting out his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

Aside from the most frustrating point that she had been in the same profession as her own and never brought it up, though Morgan knew she had a travesty she didn't want to talk about, which just happened to heighten her criminal convictions somewhat. possibility.But he still couldn't believe in his heart that she would mercilessly deprive others of their lives, even if the other was a reporter who was biting her.

He raised his hand to his forehead with some headaches, although he really wanted to find out the whole story of the case, he even took out his mobile phone and considered whether to ask Huo Qi to think of a way.It's just that he knew better - they didn't receive the invitation, and even if they told Huo Qi, the other party was also helpless.

As he was anxious, the phone he was holding rang.Seeing that the caller was JJ, the slightest hope in my heart was shattered when I recalled the sheriff's determined face, "Morgan, just now Will told me that Shirley was taken back to the police station, and the matter seems to be serious. .”

Fortunately, there are no other cases to deal with. After all, he really has no intention of solving the case now, "I know."

Apparently the other party already knew about it, JJ heard his voice a bit heavy, waited in silence for a while, and then heard him say: "She used to be a policeman."

"But you just found out." JJ, who has worked with him for many years, used a declarative tone, and he could easily see his inner struggle at the moment, "Do you think it could be her?"

"I don't know..." Morgan was really confused, and this ignorance of the situation only made him more at a loss, "I don't think she would do that kind of thing..."

After hearing this sentence, JJ quickly answered without reason: "Then trust her."

"But what if it's really her?" Morgan had to pay attention to the sheriff's meaningful words, "...I almost know nothing about her, what if it's really her?"

For some reason, JJ's trust in her seemed to be stronger, but this inexplicable feeling made her calm down, and when she wanted to speak again, a call came in, "Wait, I'll answer the call first. It's Hodge. "

Morgan agreed, and sat up suddenly as if seeing a glimmer of life. Not long after, he heard JJ say: "Shirley's lawyer is here, and she refuses to answer any questions. Because the whole case involves a total of three murdered journalists, the impact is somewhat significant , the sheriff wants us to help with the interrogation."

Although this was not the best result, fortunately they were finally able to deal with this case in a fair manner.Morgan let go of his worries for a while, stood up and walked out of the mall, and heard JJ who hadn't hung up the phone say: "Even if we can't trust her completely, you think that after spending so long with her, we will be so careless that we can't see her." Is it a suspect?"

Morgan wanted to deny it, but reason and prudence cut off his sensibility halfway.He sank his mind, collected himself and replied: "I hope that's not the case. If it is true, we will have to do our best to bring her to justice."

Even though these words were quite firm, after hanging up the phone and sitting in the driver's seat, Morgan looked at the shopping bags on the right passenger seat, still faintly worried that he might face even a one-ten-thousandth possibility of the outcome.

Although the sheriff only asked for help in the interrogation, a group of people went back to the headquarters meeting room to make a preliminary analysis of the case.In the conference room, apart from Huo Qi, who never changed his face, and JJ, who trusted him for no reason, the rest of the people in the conference room inevitably had complicated moods.

However, once the big screen behind Garcia was turned on, their attention was still shifted to the three victims following her voice, "...Okay, let's get straight to the point."

Garcia still turned his back to the big screen and clicked on the remote control in his hand, presenting before everyone the photos of the three victims before they were alive and several photos of the corpses after they were killed, "For two months, Steve Johnson, Thomas The bodies of Franklin and Jameson Peet were found in several remote suburbs..."

"The reason why the Washington Police Department connected the three cases is firstly because they are all journalists, and secondly..." Facing the crowd staring at the big screen carefully, she manipulated the screen skillfully. The photos on the website were emptied in turn, re-displaying three pictures filled with close-up photos of each victim's face after being killed, "As you can see-when the police found the body, they also found unsub. A large number of close-up photos of faces from multiple angles..."

Looking at the first picture on the big screen, all of them are tiled electronic photos, while the latter two are all tiled paper photos.Rossi interjected aloud, "unsub quickly built up its signature and has gradually perfected it."

Emily lowered her head and flipped through the file in her hand, "Unsub must be very disgusted with the reporter's flashlights, so he still took pictures of the unbearable photos after killing them. The injuries on the face are obviously much more serious than other parts, There must be a personal vendetta involved."

Reid has carefully read the forensic test report, "After the forensic test, the first victim suffered a brain injury first. However, no similar injuries were found on the latter two victims. Instead, they were detected in the stomach. A certain amount of sleeping pills was given out. Moreover, the latter two were both tied up. Therefore, it is very likely that the first killing was impulsive, while the latter two were clearly planned and improved."

jj went on to analyze, "The photos of the first case were from the victim's mobile phone, and the last two crime scenes were paper photos left all over the place. As for the murder weapon, they were also left at the crime scene, but there was no I found things like the ropes used for binding. So even though Unsub had planned in advance in the later stage, he still committed the crime more casually. From this, it can be speculated that Unsub is younger, or at least mentally younger."

Morgan frowned, and continued, "The murder weapons were taken from the crime scene. From their cleanliness, it can be inferred that Unsub did not have the habit of wearing gloves to commit crimes, but dealt with them as a whole after committing the crime."

Typically, Garcia isn't there when they do these jobs.But at this moment, they were obviously more or less impatient.As for some details, almost all have been mentioned, and Huo Qi felt that he did not add any more about the crime itself.So he looked at Garcia and asked questions related to their primary mission, "How did they find Shirley Davis, and what conclusive evidence do they have so far?"

"Okay..." Garcia took a break from the insights of the team members, and quickly replied: "The reason why this case was connected with Shirley was originally because James Pitt said before his death that he could think of The most motivated person to kill herself is Shirley."

Rossi frowned in confusion, "Why?"

"Hmm..." Garcia paused, and turned the big screen back to the original desktop, broadcasting James Pitt's report on Shirley's scandal, "Because he hasn't been a reporter for long, and the most explosive thing is only this paragraph There's a video of Shirley talking to Tripp's cousin Nate on the yacht..."

The video was not long, and Rossi didn't think it was a topic that could attract much attention, so she was even more confused, "...but her face was not captured in it?"

Looking around, Garcia found that everyone except Morgan was inexplicable, and explained: "The thing is like this... Shirley joined the Indy 500 series as the most potential female driver three years ago. She has attracted a lot of attention, but the outside world has known nothing about her for three years. Since she won the third place in the event three months ago, the popularity has increased, so as long as there is even a photo of her with only a profile, it is enough It's eye-catching... After all, rare things are valuable."

"Oh, it's so complicated..." Rossi still didn't understand, and after thinking for a while, she asked, "So these three reporters have ever photographed scandals about her?"

"This is currently the only point by which the police can connect the three victims..." Garcia nodded, and seeing that he was no longer puzzled, he continued: "When the police dubiously found her, they unexpectedly discovered——Shi The dna extracted from the cigarette butts found in the trash can not far from the factory where Tiff was killed is exactly Shirley's... In addition, after eliminating the traces of the construction personnel who co-discovered the corpse inside the factory, only the continuous Drift marks."

Reid asked aloud, "Have they compared the tire tracks to see if they match?"

"They haven't..." Garcia paused for a moment, looked around the crowd, and then spit out a series of words as if making up his mind, "Because they couldn't find her car...in fact, I couldn't find it either. And not only In this way... When I searched for information about her, there was nothing more than a driver's license and a police file. There was no bank account opening record, no record of car purchase and license plate, and no electronic degree certificate , not even a birth certificate! And even her driver's license and police files are under special protection procedures, and it took me a lot of effort to find them out!"

Everyone present couldn't help but fell silent. JJ remembered the shopping with her at noon, "...I remember the name she signed when swiping the card was... Rick Selman."

After being reminded by jj, Garcia calmed down and said: "By the way, the registrant I found based on her mobile phone number is Beth Davis. The other party is the leader of the threat management team of the Los Angeles Police Department. At the same time And her sister too."

Garcia's series of words were like a bolt from the blue to Morgan, and he wiped his face blankly and asked, "She doesn't have a birth certificate, so where did she come from?"

Garcia breathed a sigh of relief, "the first record about her is in the adoption system in Los Angeles, when she was 13 years old."

Huo Qi couldn't help frowning, and looked at Garcia, "You pay more attention to the two people you mentioned just now. In addition, pay more attention to the friends around Shirley. Some of her important information may be linked to other people's names."

Garcia nodded and went out, Morgan immediately leaned back on the chair weakly, and then heard Hodge ask: "Morgan, based on what you know about her, what do you think?"

The amount of information Garcia brought was too much for Morgan to digest for a while.But when he heard Huo Qi's question, he quickly calmed down, shook his head and hesitated, "...I'm worried that if I have selfishness towards her, it will affect everyone's judgment instead."

Hodge said he didn't mind, "It's okay. If we want to talk to her, we must at least get to know her first, and obviously you are the only one here."

Morgan cheered up, raised his elbows on the table, lowered his eyes and said: "She has a strong sense of self-defense, and she is docile most of the time, but she is very stubborn at certain times. She has a very clear bottom line , is quite stubborn in this regard. Because she doesn't want to be disturbed by the outside world, she really doesn't have a good attitude towards scandals. However, she has always been cautious in dealing with things. If this case is related to her, I don't think she will be careless enough to stay Such obvious evidence as a cigarette butt containing its own DNA."

"Thank you, this is also very important to her." Although he didn't mention some things, everyone present can already guess the general idea.And without having to look at Morgan's face at this moment, Hodge knew how difficult it was for him.He said something half thankful and half comforting, and then walked sideways to the conference room, "We can go there."
