Chapter 331: Unharmonious Cooperation
"Gangster? A pledge to join the gang?" Surprisingly, Hank Boyt was the first to speak.
Reed asked curiously, "Is the gang recruitment ceremony in Chicago so bloody and violent?"
Old police detective Alvin Olinsky pursed his lips, seeming to sneer at the local gangs. .
“I’ve seen people beheaded, beat people into sieves, and even cut off health devices and stuffed them into their mouths, but there’s been no such violence, regardless of race or gender, maybe. It’s a new gang.”
"I contacted the family members of the four victims, as well as the family whose house was broken into before. They were very willing to come and assist us in the investigation, but the number of people was a bit large, and I needed someone to assist." Jiejie said.
"There were no fingerprints left at the scene, indicating that they were wearing gloves when they committed the crime, but they did not use safety tools when they raped two women. Isn't this a bit contradictory?" Emily was a little confused.
"Perhaps they have only committed misdemeanors before and have not left any DNA records, or they are well aware of how busy our Chicago police are. By the time our forensic laboratory tests these DNA samples, they will all be three It will be months or even half a year later.”
Hank Boyte’s answer made everyone in BAU look at each other. Although they all know that the security in Chicago is very bad, it is indeed enough to wait for half a year for a DNA test. Outrageous.
"We can ask the FBI crime laboratory to assist in DNA testing." Rossi sighed secretly, and then put forward his opinion.
"What we have to think about is how these suspects hide in the neighborhood without being discovered. They are obviously familiar with everything around them and act extremely openly, but everything is very contradictory."
"They easily He avoided the police patrolling at night and knew the location of nearby surveillance cameras. Although there were not many new residents in the apartment that was attacked, it was not completely empty, but he was not noticed at all. "
While Rossi was talking, Red called up the surrounding map from the screen and marked all the relevant crime locations one by one.
“The area surrounding the crime is a newly built high-end residential area, which is still some distance away from the South District where security is out of control. The surrounding areas are also filled with traditional working-class people. Most of them were born here and work and live nearby. "
"You are saying that the suspect may be a local? He has this kind of hatred against the rich because of the economic recession?" Jack said following Red's reasoning.
"I don't know, but I agree with Rossi, it's something to consider, no matter what is causing the hatred and anger, but this level of violent crime, this is a small anti-social group of at least three people, is How is it hidden in it?”
Emily said, her words made everyone in the intelligence team fall into silence for a moment,
Although the motive of crime can be determined using group psychology. Explain the abnormal violence caused by the evil of the group, but this whole case makes people feel extremely awkward, with a sense of awkwardness like Zhang Fei's embroidery.
If Jack had to describe this feeling, it would be like opening the door when he returned home and seeing Hannah dressed in Hanfu, sitting in the living room gentle and graceful, playing the song Dongfeng Po on the pipa.
If Jack had not lived in this country for so many years and was engaged in the profession of patrol police, he might not be able to experience this feeling like most people in Seris.
Because in this country, the true degree of security in a region is not measured as a whole, but by points or small areas.
Take the security of the Chicago area as an example. Its overall urban security ranks last in the United States, but the security of many communities and surrounding satellite towns is incredibly good.
For example, Naperville in the West End was once named "the safest city in the United States", and Joliet in the southwestern suburbs ranked eighth in the ranking of the safest cities in the United States. Another example is the high-end community where the crime occurred. Jack didn't even see a homeless tent here.
This does not mean that vicious cases will not occur in wealthy areas, but this kind of continuous smashing and even escalation of extremely violent crimes may bring about annihilation. disaster.
Because once such cases occur continuously and cannot be solved quickly, and there are even rumors that public security in the surrounding areas may deteriorate sharply, wealthy people will quickly leave the community, and the entire community may decline irreparably.
This may be the reason why the Chicago police invited the BAU here as soon as the crime escalated. They could not bear the anger from the capitalists who invested in this area.
Hotchner nodded and said to Garcia who was connected remotely via video.
"Garcia, search the records in the surrounding area, including this year and last year, for people who were foreclosed on, bankrupted due to being laid off, or applied for unemployment benefits, and select the age filter between 25 and 45 Years old."
He thought for a while and then continued, "Also pay attention to local social networks to see if anyone is organizing similar attacks through the dark web or social software."
"No problem, I've learned a few new tricks recently. As long as they leave any clues, I will find them out."
Garcia clicked her fingers with "murderous" intent, and unexpectedly clicked. After everyone heard a scream, the video was disconnected.
Jack rolled his eyes helplessly, this Garcia could always bring about some unexpected situations.
Hotchner said to Hank Boyt on the side, "We need your assistance. You know the local situation best. We need more intelligence and information."
“The current intelligence is not enough for us to make a sufficiently accurate psychological profile. The sense of separation before and after several cases is too strong. Either we have missed something, or there is something else we don’t know. .”
Hank Boyt was unhappy with the feeling of being assigned to work by the FBI. After thinking about it, he gave orders in his own way.
“We don’t have time to sit here and wait for these guys to continue committing crimes. Alvin, Antonio, go find your street informants and ask if any strange faces or new small gangs have appeared recently. "
"The gang wars in the South District are getting more and more chaotic now. Maybe this is a way for a new gang to debut."
"Burgess, go talk to your patrol friend. Let’s say hello and strengthen night patrols in the surrounding area in the past few days, especially around the community where the crime occurred.”
“I’m going to talk to a few old friends, Erin, you stay and assist the FBI.” ." After saying that, Hank Boyt walked away with a somewhat bowed step.
Hotchner opened his mouth, but didn't spit out even a single word.
"Sorry, he is a practical person." Erin Lindsay forced a smile to everyone in BAU.
