[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

"After they left, I stood in the window and passed out. It should be because of inhaling ether-like substances." Shirley glanced at Beth in relief, and then said, "When I woke up again, I found that I was in a simple secret room surrounded by impenetrable walls, and I didn't know what my situation was at that time."

"During those six months, I worked hard to control my body shape and learn more knowledge according to Amanda's request. I tried my best." Shirley leaned back and let out a long breath, "I feel very tired , not particularly scared. I just quietly walked to the corner and squatted down, closed my eyes, and rested. I don’t know how long after that, there was a harsh order in the secret room. Soon two people came in, they were still wearing masks , escorted me to another room after washing up..."

"They asked me to take off my clothes and left, and then another person walked into the room. The moment he opened the door, the light in the room was turned off." Shirley couldn't help lowering her head, and subconsciously held Morgan's hand, frowned and continued: "He told me...he doesn't have much patience, and if I want to live, then I have to listen to him. He asked me to put on a blindfold and lie on the sofa, and he used a rope Hit me on the back, he won't let me cry... When he stops, he will give me medicine, then lie next to me and hold me, and ask me to tell him a story."

Rossi asked, "...every day?"

"There are four days in a week." Shirley shook her head, glanced at him and added, "White roses on Monday, blue roses on Tuesday, purple roses on Thursday, and black roses on Friday. The day I escaped was Wednesday."

Seeing Rosie nodding in deep thought, Shirley let go of Morgan's hand, put it on the conference table, and decided not to think about it so carefully, "After he leaves, they will let me get dressed, and let me get dressed later." I eat. The food is rich, but there is always a faint taste of curry in every dish, and there is always a bouquet of red roses on the table. Then I will be sent to another secret room, which is dark and dark. The lights alternated repeatedly. When there was no light they would play "Symphony of Destiny" and there would be rats scurrying around trying to climb up on me, but when there was light it wouldn't..."

Seeing that she was much calmer, Hodge asked, "Did he violate you?"

Shirley shook her head, thought for a while and said: "...But he violated Nate. Once they got the time wrong, and I happened to see it when they took me to that room..."

"How could they get the time wrong," Sherlock blurted out immediately, "This is just a means for them to implement the follow-up plan."

Shirley was silent and did not speak, and then heard Morgan ask: "When did you meet Nate?"

Shirley: "He knew of my existence since I entered the secret room. But he never expressed his existence, until one day I sang in the secret room, and he tried to talk to me."

Beth thought for a while and asked, "What did he tell you?"

"Nothing special... just some of his personal thoughts, some previous experiences, books that he has read..." Reorganizing the previous things, Shirley gradually realized some details that she hadn't noticed before. What kind of mood should I face, "Because of Amanda's incident, it was difficult for me to trust him, so I neither told other people about the existence of that small hole nor talked to him."

Sherlock nodded, interjecting, "Until you ran into what happened to him?"

Shirley bit her lip and nodded, "He never spoke again after that day... After a while, I took the initiative to speak... But neither of us mentioned that day again."

Shirley stroked her head, and continued: "Afterwards, I still trust him... It is he who has been encouraging me to live, and it is he who has given me a hint that my relatives have moved forward... It is also him Come up with a plan to help me escape..."

Shirley put down her hands, she was obviously in a daze, she glanced at Hodge, and said, "That's all. If you want to know anything later, you can contact me again. I have a game recently and I'm going to Dallas."

Beth twitched the corners of her lips unbearably, and asked, "Are you still going to participate in the competition?"

Shirley nodded, moved her chair, obviously unable to sit still, "I... have to go."

Before Hodge could speak, Sherlock spoke first, "Why? And you haven't said how you escaped?"

"..." Shirley eased her nervousness and had to sit down, "Nate told me that it's best to obey him, and I might have the opportunity to learn other things later. I did as I did, and I also followed Nate's arrangement later. I chose the latter between violin and painting. He would drive me out to sketch, after Nate and I discussed it, I didn’t know how to cause the riot, so he helped me take advantage of the chaos and drive out.”

"Thank you." Hodge saw that she was not in a good state, and before Sherlock had any other questions, he said, "You go back and have a good rest, and leave the rest to us."

"Okay." Shirley nodded, glanced at them and got up to go out.And Morgan immediately glanced at Huo Qi, and followed everyone's worried eyes.

Seeing Morgan closing the door of the conference room, Huo Qi got up and walked to the front of the conference table, looked at JJ, and said: "Garcia has checked the situation of your neighbor's house, their son, or more precisely, they adopted him He is the biological son of the previous kidnapper, but because he was abandoned near the local community, no relevant identity information was found. He disappeared when he was ten years old and his whereabouts have been unknown since then, Garcia Still searching further."

After finishing speaking, Hodge noticed Rhett and asked aloud, "Red, what did you think of?"

Reid put down his holding hands, looked up at everyone, thought for a while and said, "I was just thinking about Nate...was he being coerced into doing what they said? There were too many of them. Variable. We must know that Shirley has been imprisoned and tortured in the secret room for so many years. If she only relies on the slim hope of going home, she cannot last that long. She must have a belief, a belief that allows her to lean on... "

"She said that Nate would encourage her... In fact, Nate is her belief to some extent." Emily thought seriously, frowned and continued in doubt: "They have been planning a certain day from the very beginning. Let her out, if they put the most critical factor on a coerced person, wouldn't it be too hasty?"

Hearing this, Hodge asked: "You don't think it was Nate who was talking to her in the Chamber of Secrets?"

The two nodded, and Rossi thought it made sense, "She never saw him when they were talking in the secret room, and she didn't hear his voice when she saw him. But once she believed what he said , she will be easily misled into thinking that the person in the secret room is the same person she saw. This is in line with their way of doing things."

"The kidnapper's son!" Sherlock, who had been in deep thought, suddenly said, "They are a big family, and he was recognized as a criminal from the moment he was born. He needs to be raised from an early age... the chief Why did he come to the United States just after something happened on her side? Coincidence? Of course not! Because she is in his charge, and she is his first-hand result... She means a lot to him!"

"He's the one talking to her in the Chamber of Secrets?" Hodge frowned and thought for a while, looking at Rosie and Emily before Sherlock spoke, "I'll let Morgan ask Shirley about her conversation in the Chamber of Secrets Specific content. It may be difficult for her to talk to Nate's parents in person. You should visit Nate's parents first and then Vanesan's parents. The two families have details about the lives of their respective sons, which will help us confirm what was said in the secret room. Who is it?"

Rosie and Emily went out immediately, and Sherlock, who was originally very excited, relaxed inexplicably after seeing the calm Hodge. Hearing Rhett say: "The organization spent two years cultivating a hundred girls, The most important purpose is to sell ten of them at a high price. After two years, the total cost of one hundred girls will be at least 500 million US dollars, and only the ten girls who are bought can really make money. So in order not to lose money, each girl has to sell at least 50 US dollars. Considering the time and risks they spent, the final price must be at least three times that of 150 million US dollars..."

Hodge nodded, "That's not a small amount. Their customer base should be large family businesses with rich assets. Let Garcia pay attention to this part of the possible customer base later. They may have heard of this transaction. "

Sherlock pointed his fingers together, thinking carefully, "But are they willing to spend such a large amount of money just for a game? It's really interesting..."

Everyone looked at him speechlessly, and quickly withdrew their gazes to think separately.After a period of time, Hodge received the information from Garcia, which was as thick as ten books after printing out, and when he was about to hand it to Sherlock, he saw him laughingly asking: "Agent Hochner, are you sure?" Are we looking for this?"

Hodge nodded affirmatively, "Even if you don't find an employer, at least you can find a potential employer."

Sherlock raised his hand and pushed it away, frowning, "I'd better keep thinking about their purpose."

Hodge pursed his lips, didn't say anything, left half a volume of materials for himself, Beth, and JJ, and then gave the rest to Rhett, "Thank you for your hard work."

Rhett nodded, took it as usual, and flipped it quickly.And Sherlock sat silently by the side, constantly muttering, "Whip... to vent anger? To vent desire? No, Nate vents desire... darkness... to create fear? Why? What can this bring you?" ?You control everything...but you're rich and you control everything in your life. What's so special about her? Gives you a different richer feeling..."

"I know!" Sherlock's exclamation finally attracted everyone's attention, and he looked at them excitedly, "I know! That's why he had to let her out! Because he had to keep her by his side But he can't be in the chamber all the time! She's like his medicine! His peace!"

Huo Qi and the other three looked at him inexplicably, JJ frowned in confusion, "...Is he crazy? What are you talking about?"

"No! I'm not crazy! You're too stupid! He might be the one who's crazy!" Sherlock turned to look at her, growling like iron and steel, "Don't you understand? Are you still as stupid as when you were a child? "

JJ opened his mouth and asked instead: "So what did you figure out?"

"Cure." While Sherlock was still jubilant, Reid raised his head and answered, explaining: "He tortured her repeatedly, created fear for her, and made her form many kinds of bad conditioned reflexes. He let her out, came to her, and didn't have to worry about needing to vent his anger and sadism all the time. Because he felt every moment of her fear, it allowed him to relive and enjoy the urge. She... is his peace."

"That's right!" Hearing Rhett say what he was thinking, Sherlock jumped up to him with great joy, looked at him in surprise for a while and looked up at the others, "This is the same as the popular one in Japan." Making food-crawling videos for dieters makes sense. In order to be effective, he has to be there for her. So... who are we looking for as employers?"

"Oh! Damn it!" After listening to the analysis of the two of them, Beth patted her head suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Rick Selman... His family is very rich, and he taught Shirley how to drive. ...He's... oh shit! Shirley only believed him because she thought she saved him from a car accident...that's exactly the way they do things!"

"Rick Selman..." Reid quickly flipped forward a few pages and confirmed, "He has mania inherited from the family."

"Oh my God...he's been by her side for so many years..." Beth lost control of her emotions and put her hands on her face and leaned on the table. JJ couldn't bear it and came to comfort her, while Huo Qi quickly took out his mobile phone and called Morgan.

Morgan, who just drank a bottle of water in Rick's car and passed out, heard the phone ringing in a daze. He took out the phone and answered the call while struggling to distinguish the surrounding situation, "...Hodge."

Before Hodge could speak, he realized that only himself and the fainted Lauren were left in the car, and he sat up suddenly, "Hodge! Rick and Shirley are gone!"

Hodge raised his hand to his forehead, paused and said, "Rick is her employer."

"What?!" Morgan exclaimed, smelling a smell of gasoline in his nose, threw out his phone and got out of the car, quickly carried Lauren out of the car and fled the vicinity of the car, then picked up the phone and frowned feebly, "She was caught took away...I, I didn't find out in time..."

"Come back first." Huo Qi frowned unbearably, and continued: "We will find her."
