The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 214 The Unfortunate Couple ([-])
However, the detection of trace evidence is still inconclusive, because it is winter, and there are very few typical traces of insects and pollen.

Crime labs are analyzing the residual soil in the vehicle's tire tread to try to map the route of the victim's vehicle by comparing it to environmental samples, but it will take a long time.

According to the murderer's law of committing crimes, the next attack should be within two or three days, and there may even be victims, but no family members have reported missing yet.

At noon, a group of local police officers gathered in the police office under the call of their sheriff. While eating the donuts brought back by Jack and Emily, they listened to the case analysis and the psychological side of the murderer from the BAU team members. Write.

There are a few guys who are smart enough to be promoted to police detectives as their career plans. They even prepared paper and pens and looked like obedient students. After all, not every small police station has the opportunity to welcome the FBI psychological profiler team helpful.

The first is Hotchner: "Jonathan and Rebecca Gollen, the couple who were killed last, according to their family, were on vacation near Reno last weekend, and then they were going home and planned to find a place to spend the night along the way."

Rhett scratched the map with his hand, "According to their route home, it is very likely that they will pass through the Sherwood area where the Corbins last appeared."

"They haven't used their credit cards since they left Reno, and unless they're carrying a lot of cash, it's definitely not expensive."

"In addition to the murderer's modus operandi, he needs enough privacy and a lot of private time when he commits violence. This allows us to temporarily exclude more than half of the area."

Hearing this, Sergeant Bruner, the oldest and most experienced police officer in the local police station, was thoughtful.

"So, the murderer we're looking for is probably the guy who works the night shift at a motel on a remote mountain road near Sherwood?"

"And we don't think he's too young, somewhere between 30 and 35," Reed added.

"Why do you say that?" Sergeant Bruner was a little puzzled.

Reid explained, "Hijacking a couple at the same time silently is a very difficult thing that needs to be planned in advance. The killer needs enough time to perfect his skills."

The sheriff seemed to feel that the young man's deduction was too arbitrary, so he slapped him slightly, "Then he might be older."

"Don't worry about the age of the murderer. This is the most difficult thing to predict. Dr. Reid is only guessing from the perspective of probability."

Rossi added, "All the female victims were raped while being assaulted, indicating that the murderer was an abusive rapist."

After speaking, he looked at Jack.

Knowing that his quiz was starting again, Jack answered the teacher's questions honestly.

"A sadist needs to be satisfied by abusing and observing the victim's tragedy, which also includes psychological abuse. The reason why the murderer only targets couples is probably for this reason."

Jack paused for a moment, and explained the reason why many people present were aware of it but did not dare to think deeply about it.

"He would persecute the husband and witness the scene of his wife being raped."

Sure enough, as soon as he said that, the faces of the police officers present, including Sergeant Bruner, became a little unnatural.

Emily ignored the whispers of the crowd, and completed the psychological profile of the murderer based on Jack's deduction.

"The murderer is most likely extremely misogynistic, and this stems from the brutal physical and psychological harm done to him by a woman, most likely his mother or stepmother."

"He may have witnessed the other party's cheating or similar behavior more than once. Growing up in this environment, he may have never been in a relationship, let alone married."

All the police officers, including Sergeant Bruner, nodded frequently.

"We are investigating the area around Sherwood, people who have a history of crimes against women, but it will take time, and we are running out of time. The killer is likely to strike again in two or three days."

"But we can't conduct large-scale investigations. Even if we ask in the name of investigating the missing, it may alert the murderer, causing him to change his modus operandi or even disappear."

After Hochner finished speaking, he looked at the male policemen in front of him, frowned, and continued.

"We have already sent a request to the surrounding police stations to send some police forces here, mainly female police officers, and they will arrive one after another tonight and tomorrow."

"Dr. Reid has selected more than 30 motels located on remote roads near Sherwood. All of these places have less than 5 employees. In the past few days, you will pretend to be husband and wife with these policewomen, and respectively pretend to be tourists to stay in these places at night. hostel."

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the male policemen, Hotchina interrupted their romantic fantasies with a poker face.

"You have to understand that this is a very dangerous job. We still don't know what method the murderer used to silently control the four couples. Although no drugs were found in their bodies in the autopsy report, the risk is still there. very high."

"Everyone will only be able to carry pistols concealed. Considering that the murderer's inmates are women, the man pretending to be the husband is the priority to be subdued. You must protect yourself and your partner at the same time."

"This is not a romantic 007 mission. You must remain vigilant at all times, so that the murderer cannot notice the abnormality. We only accept police officers who have undercover experience or have undergone relevant training."

Sergeant Bruner stood up directly, called a series of names, and then announced the end of the meeting.

The trick of pretending to be husband and wife tourists to stay in a motel was discussed by everyone in BAU. After working hard to narrow down the scope of suspicion, a difficult problem was posed in front of everyone.

When the murderer is found, how to crucify the evidence with the murderer?
No DNA evidence was found on the victim's body, and even if the crime scene was found, if no evidence was found that could directly link it to the murderer, then the first case after the official establishment of the BAU team would not be perfect.

Because this case involves cross-state crimes, once the murderer is caught, he will inevitably face trial in the federal court. The FBI will participate in the whole process. In case of any accidents during the public prosecution process, it is almost foreseeable how many voices of doubt will come out. .

So when Hotchner, the former public prosecutor, raised this point, Rossi naturally turned his attention to Jack, and the two showed tacit smiles at the same time.

After all, in the wilderness, there is no one here who is more experienced than Jack. He is just a rapist, and he can't compare with the ogre in New Mexico.

　Don't say that I copied the plot, haha, I changed my head so much that I almost exploded, please ask for a monthly ticket!
