Chapter 514 Organized Serial Killer

The passenger list given by Jim put Kate's team into high gear.

Even if most of the conditions of psychological profiling are brushed down, there are still more than a hundred people who need to check one by one.

Some of these people are still in Los Angeles, and some have disappeared in a short period of time, making investigation extremely difficult.

Kate not only sent out all his subordinates, but also applied for additional staff from above, which was still a bit stretched.

But Min Xue didn't seem to have much interest in this line, sitting at his desk, in a daze every day.

The FBI agents who came and went in a hurry all rolled their eyes when they saw this.

I didn't have a good impression of this guy at first, and he was so leisurely when everyone was so busy, I really wanted to give him a hard K!
"You said, could the content in the video be recorded later, to make a fool of yourself?"

"No, I checked it out, and it's true."

"That's probably because he was lucky, right?"

"The suspect is stuttering or something, can you give it a try?"

The outraged detectives couldn't help whispering a few more words, they were glared at by Smith, and ran away in despair.

Detective Smith stepped up to Min Xue, pulled up a chair and sat down. He was tall and long-legged, and felt a little uncomfortable. The scene that was supposed to be funny seemed harmonious again under the aura of the owner.

"Thinking about a case?"

Min Xue didn't respond to this nonsense, but instead asked, "You should also think this case is a bit strange, right?"

Without waiting for Smith to respond, Min Xue continued, "Judging from the three cases, the killer we are looking for this time should be an organized serial killer."

"He would choose his victims, he would plan his stalking, he would bring his own weapon, he would kill and dispose of the body, he would dispose of the body. It all points to him being an organized serial killer."

"But some of his actions are contrary to this."

Detective Smith said, "Frequent homicides with such a short interval, such a large number of crimes across regions, and the differences in the types of victims. This is indeed not very similar to the organized serial killers we have encountered in the past."

"But everyone is an independent individual, and not all serial killers follow certain rules, which is why our profilers need to conduct differential analysis based on different cases."

It seems that Detective Smith must have done education and training work, and his tone is very similar to that of a life mentor.

Min Xue shrugged slightly, but did not deny Smith's argument.

Although he thought this case was weird, but just sitting here and thinking about it, it might be difficult to come up with a reason.

Before the identity of the deceased is determined, Kate's method is the most direct and effective at present, and Min Xue decides to help.

A day has passed, and I don't know how the hundred or so people Kate and the others are doing.

As soon as Min Xue stood up, he saw Kate walking in with a file in a hurry, "A suspect has been found, take a look."

Smith took over the file, "Jay? A reporter? This person should not be in the list we gave, right?"

That's right, according to the profile, the murderer should be between 40 and 50 years old, but Jay is only 25 years old, which obviously doesn't fit their profile.

Kate explained with a firm expression, "According to the list you gave, our Los Angeles Police Department sent additional staff to follow up, but nothing came of it until one of his colleagues was talking to a suspect. Jay looked different, that's why he came into our sight."

"After investigation, it turns out that Jay happened to be on a business trip in New York during the time of the incident. New York and New Jersey are separated by a river. It only takes an hour to go back and forth. Even if the river valley is remote, half a day is enough time. It is entirely possible to commit the crime. "

Smith has already looked through the file and handed it to Min Xue, "Except for the age mismatch, other background information also does not match the profile."

Min Xue took it and scanned it at a glance.

Jay, a reporter for a newspaper, is single, his parents are still alive and not divorced, and since he can easily be seen by the police to look different, his personality should not be very calm.

This is not consistent with the profile, it is completely contradictory!
If this person is really the murderer, not only Min Xue, but also the agents of the FBI Behavior Analysis Section including Smith can go home and drink milk.

But if there is no problem, what is this little reporter panicking about?

"Did anyone bring it back?" Smith asked Kate.

"Bringing it back, we didn't startle the snake. The excuse we used was to ask him about the situation of that colleague in private," Kate said, "you can rest assured that I will handle the matter."

"He came back with cooperation?" Min Xue asked.

Kate nods.

The Smith has already walked out, "So this Jay, either a good citizen who obeys the law and is willing to help and cooperate with the police, or there must be something wrong?"

He decided to meet little friend Jay in person, and Kate dragged Min Xue to follow quickly.

In order not to scare the children, only Smith entered the room, while Min Xue and Kate stayed in the monitoring room to watch.

Jay's face is as mature as a foreigner's. He is only 25 years old, and he looks like he is in his thirties. It may also be caused by his bad messy hair, and he has no energy.

As Kate said, Jay was sitting at the table, clasping and loosening his hands unconsciously. Although his face was calm, it was not difficult to see a trace of panic flashing in his eyes from time to time.

This panic was even more evident when Smith sat down facing him.

"Don't be nervous, just ask a few routine questions," Smith deliberately slowed down the momentum around him, but the effect did not seem to be obvious.

Seeing this, Smith casually asked a few related questions about Jay's colleagues, which made him relax slowly.

"Well, you see, it's that simple," Smith asked after a while, as if to end the question.

It could be seen that Jay breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression couldn't help but relax.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, and I have an interview to write," Jay picked up his clothes and was about to leave.

"Of course, anytime," Smith agreed readily, and at the same time asked casually, "I heard that you went to New York for a business trip last week. It's a good place. Have you walked around?"

Jay just wanted to escape from here at the moment, without thinking about it at all, and replied casually, "No, I have interview missions for the past two days, and I have been in New York all the time, so I don't have time to go out for sightseeing."

After speaking, Jay hurriedly opened the door and left, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be fleeing in a hurry.

Kate walked out from the monitoring room and asked, "Just let him go like this? Jay must have something wrong!"

Agent Smith just spread his hands and walked towards the office.

Kate almost jumped.

Min Xue also came out of the monitoring room at this moment, and persuaded with a smile, "Otherwise? What reason do you want to detain? Expression management is out of control?"

"That's not funny!" Kate scowled.

"Well, I don't always have a sense of humor," Min Xue shrugged, "but I think Agent Smith should investigate Jay's itinerary in New York."

Kate is not stupid after all, she came to her senses and said, "You mean"

That's right, as long as Jay is found to have lied to the police, that's grounds for detention, isn't it?
