Before the behavior analysis team arrived at the police station, they learned from Garcia that Rick Selman was one of the legal heirs of the huge Selman family, and he was the one who helped add Shirley's driver's license. People who are protected by the upper layers.Plus, Beth Davis' situation was as much as Shirley's.The only thing that can be deduced is that she was the one who sealed Shirley's police file.

Arriving at the police station, Huo Qi took his team members to meet the sheriff.As soon as they walked outside the interrogation room where Shirley was located, a brown-haired man in a suit with a neat and elegant temperament but decisive and shrewd, and a brown-haired woman dressed in sexy but capable clothes with an exotic style stood in front of everyone.The man extended his hand to Hodge modestly, and introduced the people beside him, "Hello, I am Rick Selman, Shirley's chief lawyer. This is Shirley's sister, Beth Davis .”

"Alan Hotzner, I'm the leader of the Behavior Analysis Team." Hodge shook hands with Rick politely, and when he looked at Beth, the other party just crossed his arms and glanced at him blankly.Hodge felt her extreme repulsion, and put down his hand, while Rick smoothed things over, "I'm very sorry, Agent Hodzner. We all feel bad when something like this happened. I hope you can understand."

"It's okay, I know." Hodge nodded, and turned directly to Rick, who seemed to be more communicative, "Obviously her refusal to talk is not beneficial to either party, so can I ask my team members to ask her a few questions so that we can Find out the truth as soon as possible."

Hearing Hodge's tone of questioning and factual statement, before Rick could speak, Beth quickly answered: "My sister can't kill someone."

"I can really understand your mood." Hodge looked at her, his tone was not heavy but firm, although he was not sure but still suspicious, "But as a police officer, you should be very clear that there are indeed many things in her. Doubtful."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Beth said, "I don't know."

Huo Qi frowned, feeling that the other party was almost unreasonable and he didn't need to waste any more words.Turning back to look at Rick, he smiled politely and said: "Shirley has always had a regular schedule, and the police officers have exhausted a lot of energy before you came. Now she is resting, I hope you can give her some buffer space After all, even a real prisoner can have this right, not to mention she is just a suspect who was involved for no reason, right?"

Huo Qi thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then looked behind him, "Red, jj, you are waiting here."

Beth followed his voice, and after seeing that the nodding Rhett didn't look aggressive like the other three men, the anger in her heart that the sheriff called the behavior analysis team to interrogate Shirley extinguished a little, and she looked back at Hodge, "Thank you."

"This is her right." Huo Qi's brows relaxed a little, and she felt that she should have calmed down a lot. Looking at them back and forth, she asked again, "Can you talk to us?"

The two looked at each other. Seeing that Beth seemed to have no objection, Rick relaxed his body and made a movement of moving, "No problem."

Afterwards Red and JJ wait outside the one-way glass in the interrogation room, Morgan and Emily talk to Beth, while Hodge and Rosie ask Rick about the situation.

Beth's tone is quite strict. Although Rick seems to be talking a lot, he will change the topic flexibly as soon as he is asked about the key points.So after an hour, they had nothing to gain except to be more sure that Shirley had a bad experience.

This state didn't last long, and Rhett and JJ came over to inform that Shirley, who had been lying on the table, had woken up.Hodge glanced at Beth, and led a group of people to the one-way glass window.As for Shirley in the interrogation room, apart from looking around dully, she just idly tapped the table with her fingertips.

Apparently the surrounding environment didn't make her uncomfortable, it just made her bewildered.Everyone who had already studied the case and Shirley felt much calmer after knowing this.Hodge turned to Beth and asked, "Will she need a cup of coffee or a sandwich?"

From the previous conversation, Beth had already learned that they knew Shirley, and now she looked at him with a looser frown.Beth had almost no resistance to him, Matsushita tilted his head with a tense face, "I think she just needs you to find out the truth as soon as possible."

Huo Qi couldn't laugh or cry in his heart because of the change of the other party, he raised his eyebrows casually as if accepting her indirect apology, "We will."

Afterwards, Rhett entered the interrogation room alone. Seeing him sitting down, Shirley smiled and said, "I haven't realized that the quick-tempered sheriff can last so long alone to find you."

Reid was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that the other party was a racer who could do somersaults on a motorcycle, so he was not so surprised, "So you hope the sheriff will invite us?"

Shirley nodded and raised her eyebrows helplessly, "The sheriff has shown some photos in front of me, and he also mentioned that the first murder happened almost two months ago, and three people have died so far. It is rare for him to find Of course he will be reluctant to let go if he finds some clues, and he has defined me as a prisoner from the moment he found me, so what else can I talk to him about?"

Seeing her smile to herself after she finished speaking, Rhett asked after a moment of silence: "Can you tell me why you appeared in that factory that day?"

Shirley pursed her lips and blinked at his slightly innocent face, and couldn't help laughing, "So you still want to use this interrogation tactic against me?"

"No, it's not..." Reid was anxious to defend himself, and quickly asked, "Didn't they tell you when the No.1 victim died?"

Shirley nodded, recalling for a while after getting Rhett's answer.I lowered my eyes and looked up at him again, "...I'm sorry I can't tell you the specific reason, but I was in a bad mood anyway. So I went to that factory, played drifting for a while, and smoked a few cigarettes... It was four o'clock in the morning when I got home."

Before Rhett could speak again, Shirley frowned and continued, "In the last two cases, the victim was tied up, but in the first case, it was probably due to a brain injury that caused him to be subdued quickly...so the first case The killings should have been impromptu, and the latter two were premeditated killings. And I happened to appear within the estimated time of death, so it is very likely that I ran into him or..."

Speaking of which, Shirley leaned back on the chair angrily, folded her arms and looked at Rhett, "Did I accidentally destroy the clues related to him?"

Seeing her worried face, Red paused for a moment, and quickly said, "No, Unsub has processed the fingerprints on the murder weapon by itself."

After listening to his words, Shirley felt a little relieved.Turning his head to the right inadvertently, he looked back at Rhett funny after seeing the one-way glass, "Sorry, I just forgot that I am a suspect now. So what else do you want to know?"

Although it can be inferred from her statement that the traces in the factory must have been left by her, Rhett still had to ask: "We couldn't find your license plate number?"

Shirley stroked her forehead, "9fyt16, the registrant is Lauren Baiss. She is a good friend of mine and trusts me quite a bit. She is now in the UK, and I hope you don't disturb her. The reason for not applying for a license yourself is No, so there is no need to ask... Besides, will the sheriff agree to let me go?"

Rhett agreed and got up from the chair, "We will try our best to convince him that you are not a criminal, but the final decision is still in his hands."

Shirley nodded in understanding and gratitude, and asked again when she saw that Rhett had turned around and walked to the door: "...Did any of you fully trust me at first?"

"I'm sorry..." Seeing the faint disappointment in her eyes, Reid quickly continued: "But after having a certain understanding of the case, Morgan doesn't think it was you who did it."

Obviously this is not what Shirley is concerned about, but she still looked at the one-way glass and smiled, then looked back at Rhett, "It's okay, that's your duty."

Rhett nodded, stopped before moving forward, turned to look at her, "But you trust us."

Shirley raised her eyebrows and shook her head, smiling as if to appease him, "I don't believe in you, I just believe in your abilities."

Reid pursed his lips, left the sentence "We will find the prisoner as soon as possible" and walked out of the interrogation room.As for the group of people outside the interrogation room, they stepped up one after another, ready to welcome Reid to reorganize the case together.

Morgan also kept up, and when he inadvertently looked at Beth, he saw that the other party was looking at him with the corners of his lips undisguised.And there was obvious teasing in the smile, and Morgan, who had been used to her cold face for two or three hours, was flattered for a moment, so he pursed his lips innocently and at a loss.

After that, although the sheriff officially invited the behavior analysis team, he hoped to detain Shirley for 24 hours.Everyone had no choice but to wrong Shirley for a while.And Shirley also said that she didn't mind, and asked Rick to go back to the hotel to rest first, but she had nothing to do with Beth who had to drink coffee at the police station.

At dawn the next day, the police station received a call to the police from a morning exerciser.When Huo Qi and his party arrived, they found a dead body with the same signature but lack of facial injuries.In addition, the body was not left in a hidden location as before, but on a morning jogging trail that was easily spotted.

"Chris Green..." Morgan flipped through the victim's ID, then took out his phone and called Garcia, "Hey, baby, help me with something meaningful..."

"Huh?" After learning that Shirley was not a prisoner, Garcia's mood relaxed a lot, "I always have time to do anything for you, no matter it's meaningful or not."

"Okay..." Last night's research showed that Shirley hadn't done the whole thing, but it was clearly related to her in some way.And at this moment, the appearance of this corpse, which seemed to announce to the police that Shirley was not a prisoner, made Morgan even more uneasy like her, "Another corpse appeared, he was Chris Green, a columnist for Universal Motorsport magazine. I'll keep an eye out for any rumors about Shirley that he has filmed."

"Oh." After receiving the news of someone's death early in the morning, no one would feel better. Garcia quickly withdrew his thoughts and got ready for work, "Give me 3 minutes, bye!"

"Wait for your good news." After hanging up the phone, Morgan walked to Rossi who was looking at the photos all over the floor, "There is not a single face photo, and the angle of the shot is also very single...but the outside world doesn't know about the unsub This signature, so it can't be a copycat case. But what changed?"

Just as he was talking, Morgan's cell phone rang, and he sighed secretly, "He never reported any news related to Shirley."

In view of the preliminary speculation in this regard last night, Rossi was not too surprised, "So what we are looking for is indeed an admirer."

The necessary clues have been obtained, Morgan frowned, turned around and walked towards the car first, "It should not be wrong." Just recalling the look on her face when she mistakenly thought that she destroyed the evidence, how could she bear someone killing someone because of herself?
