Chapter 211 The Unfortunate Couple (1)
Fortunately, the popularity of the shootings subsided within a few days. After all, there are so many cases every year, and the number of dead this time was not more than ten, so it was not a big news.
Members of the action team are not allowed to be famous. Including Garcia and JJ, the personal information of everyone in the team is kept confidential. After all, in the history of the BAU, there have been more than once serial killers who are eager to be famous or seeking challenges. The case came to your door.
So whether it was the Starbuck God of War or the Man in a Suit, they were quickly forgotten by the Internet. There are more people who know Jack. After all, many people in the Wilshire Precinct know him and know Hodge. There are only a few people who have accepted the status.
The party held at Jack’s house on the second day was a success. The Italian food he has specialized in for a long time was greatly appreciated. Compared with the French food, which is more sophisticated, you can sit and eat and chat. Serving Italian food for a few hours is obviously more suitable for a small gathering of about ten people.
Except for Hotchner, who had to take care of his pregnant wife and did not attend, overall, the first BAU gathering was quite successful.
Rosie was full of praise for almost every dish, including a little bit of private goods that Jack secretly added to the dessert after the meal, a dish of osmanthus candied lotus root that most Europeans and Americans have never tasted.
This guy Red didn't even let go of the last bit of soup at the bottom of the plate.
Girls are obviously more interested in the stew that is said to be good for skin care and beauty. JJ, Emily Prentiss and Penelope Garcia tasted the stew specially made for them by Jack for the first time. Prepared white fungus and red date soup.
Ever since they found out that there is a beautiful girl with super skin on the 12th floor who is Jack’s girlfriend, the three girls have visited Hannah for various reasons. Except for JJ, who has some complicated thoughts, the other two They were all amazed.
They all asked Jack about Hannah's secrets in skin care. Of course, someone couldn't talk nonsense about massage. After all, neither Emily nor Garcia were his cup of tea at all.
So she turned to her best cooking skills. In the end, even JJ couldn't help but hint, intentionally or unintentionally, that the girls wouldn't mind if Jack usually brought more desserts with similar effects to the office.
They are willing to spend more time in the gym to burn off the extra calories. Even the chubby homegirl Garcia is asking Emily to sign up for dance classes. Come to exercise.
After dinner, Jack grandly launched a new entertainment activity, and almost everyone was quickly addicted to it. The weird square table in Jack's living room played its role for the first time - a mahjong table.
Compared to ordinary people, several members of the BAU team are considered to be highly intelligent people. However, since they met the genius Dr. Reid, almost all of them have doubted their own IQ. .
For Red, who was refused entry to the Las Vegas casino, any chess or card game is a computational entertainment activity used to rest his brain.
Within a few days of getting to know each other, everyone began to refuse any chess and card entertainment with Red. After all, everyone was once a smart person who stood out in their respective social circles. No one likes this kind of loss that makes them doubt their life. feeling.
Now the mahjong that Jack has brought out has brought everyone's IQ back to the same starting line.
There are too many tricks in mahjong. You can calculate the probability and improve the winning rate by recording the cards, but the effect is limited. Luck sometimes takes up the main factor. In addition, you can cooperate with each other to jointly suppress the victorious generals. , and soon everyone fell in love with this wall-building sport.
The mahjong they played was made by Jack himself. He made some cheap African rosewood and mammoth ivory, and carved a few pairs to practice his skills in his spare time.
Unexpectedly, everyone in BAU was quickly addicted to it. Within a few days, Rosie took a small oil painting that was said to be worth a house in exchange for Jack, and returned home in exchange for two pairs of mahjong.
One set was placed in the office and the other set was placed on the Gulfstream aircraft. From then on, mahjong became the only designated universal entertainment method for the group members. Jack guessed that Rosie was preparing for a rainy day based on her past experience and taking into account the physical and psychological pressures that the group members would face in the future.
Therefore, although he felt that the painting style of the group was gradually being distorted, Jack happily hung the small oil painting in his bedroom.
He really couldn’t understand the Pollock abstract painting in Chris’ RV that was worth hundreds of millions, but he really liked this sunflower painting that was said to be Picasso’s practice. At least he could understand what the painting was about. What.
But soon, JJ brought the first case after the group was established to the BAU team members who were addicted to mahjong.
A Nevada Sheriff called the FBI for help. A series of suspicious accidents occurred in Reno. The Sheriff believed that the series of cases were intrinsically related.
"Three days ago, a Honda sedan was hit by a tractor-trailer outside Reno. The driver of the truck was unharmed, and the couple in the car, Jonathan and Rebecca Gowron, were pronounced dead at the scene."
In the conference room, JJ played the photos and information sent by the local police station on the screen.
“When the local police sergeant arrived at the scene, he noticed something unusual. There were no traces of blood spatter in the car, there were no seat belt bruises on the body, and there were no lacerations from the airbag.”
Red rubbed his chin and came to the conclusion, "The couple were dead before the accident?"
"Yes." JJ nodded, "The medical examiner confirmed this and discovered their true identity. The cause of death."
"Both husband and wife were hit with blunt force on the head, and there is evidence that the wife was raped and abused during her lifetime."
"Then?" Hotchner motioned for JJ to continue. A simple fake car accident case would obviously not be transferred directly to the BAU. There must be more to it.
JJ pressed the remote control in his hand, and a series of photos appeared on the big screen.
"Based on that information, Garcia searched for similar accidents that occurred recently in the area where California and Nevada meet, including two other cases provided by the police chief. We found that a total of 6 similar cases occurred in the past two months. ”
“Both couples or lovers were hit by a trailer or heavy truck in a car, and both died. However, because the two states belong to different jurisdictions, these cases did not occur. were immediately contacted, and three of them were treated as ordinary car accidents."
Rossi quickly flipped through the information in his hand, "Every time, there was only one man and one woman in the car, in the middle of the night. The car stopped in the middle of the road, and it happened in a remote section of the road that is not a main road. This can't be a coincidence. Do we have anything else in common?"
JJ turned to the next page of his shorthand notebook and read. , "Garcia discovered that the family members of two of the couples had reported to the police, and the family members said they had been missing for at least 48 hours."
