Chapter 365 R·E·D
The field team of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Department in Los Angeles is quite special.
Although there have always been some field staff in the behavioral analysis department, most of them are office-based analysts and consultants hired from various universities and research institutes.
These consultants are roughly similar to the psychologist hired by the CBI (California Bureau of Investigation) to pretend to be a psychic, Patrick Jane.
They occasionally follow police detectives on crime scene field trips, but most of the time, the BAU provides assistance to police departments in various federal states in the form of written recommendations.
Typically, the local police department or sheriff's office provides clues and case details, and analysts and consultants analyze the materials in front of computers.
Then based on what they have learned and the experience accumulated in past cases, a behavioral analysis and psychological profile will be conducted on these suspects to summarize their characteristics and possible life backgrounds, thereby helping the local police solve the case.
Generally speaking, this kind of profiling is like shooting an arrow in a dark room. The archer needs to use all conditions including experience except vision, but can he hit the target? It still depends on luck.
Rossi established the current BAU field team, which is quite successful now. In less than half a year, he quickly solved several cases and even prevented two serious terrorist attacks in time. .
This also makes Jiejie's work even busier. Her job is to screen the applications for help sent by law enforcement agencies from various places and sort them according to their importance and urgency.
As more and more requests for help come from the headquarters and various places, Jiejie has endless emails to deal with and phone calls to answer every day.
Of course, this does not mean that when everyone is not working in the field, everyone except Jie Jie will be idle.
Rosie is busy with his new book, and occasionally has to take time off to attend a book signing or something.
Reed’s teacher and father, Jason Gideon, taught at the University of California after leaving BAU. He was also a psychology expert and would ask Reed to give lectures or lectures from time to time. Serve as a teaching assistant.
In addition to his administrative work, Hotchner is also busy with the Criminal Character Research Project. This is a permanent project that everyone in the team must participate in. The content is to go to various prisons for serious criminals and interview those who are willing to cooperate. of perverts.
The last time he and Red went to Terminar Prison and encountered a riot, they were conducting this research project. One of the goals of the project was to accumulate more experience and cases for psychological profiling work.
In order to avoid accidents again, Jack, the role of force, has become indispensable. Basically every time he goes to those high-risk prisons, either Hotchner and Jack go together, or there is Emily. .
When we occasionally have free time, we all have to sit down and go back to our job as analysts. Although some cases do not require everyone to go to the scene after being screened by Jiejie, it is still necessary to provide some analysis reports. needed.
This job is quite important. Analysis reports are not written casually. Basically, the success rate of profiling suspects has established the reputation of the Behavioral Analysis Department.
Although it is no longer the 1990s, when the BAU was first established, psychological profilers were regarded as nonsense "magic sticks".
However, the success rate of analysis is still very important. Only when the reputation is good and trusted within the law enforcement system can there be a steady stream of important cases.
Although most of these cases will be sent to Quantico and handled by colleagues in the department, both Hotchner and Rossi insist on withholding some of them. The investigation and analysis of these cases is like leveling up monsters while playing games. Rich experience is accumulated bit by bit through the work of these documents.
I said all this just to illustrate how difficult it is for Jack to take a leave now. After finally arranging work, he asked for leave and bought a plane ticket. , boarded a flight to New York.
Old Hunter and Didi spoke vaguely on the phone. The general meaning was that they had an old friend who was deprived of his personal freedom by an unscrupulous guardian and is currently locked up in a nursing home.
The old couple had no acquaintances on the east coast, so they finally found a lawyer and filed a lawsuit, but they lost the case.
Both the family court judge and their old friend’s personal doctor seem to be unclean. Now they can only ask Jack for help, and they have to find a way to get the old man named Joe Mason out of that damn nursing home first. .
Wearing headphones and listening to Swift's "Welcome To New York", Jack walked out of John F. Kennedy International Airport with big sunglasses on his face.
After joining BAU, Jack has been to Maryland and Connecticut, but missed the middle state of New York, not to mention the famous "Big Apple" city.
But he didn’t have time to visit the world’s most important financial center now. After leaving the airport, he rented a Camry, followed the navigation, and headed west to a hotel located on the banks of the Hudson River. Small town, Cold Spring.
This is a quite beautiful town, with antique shops and second-hand bookstores lining the streets. It occupies a small area and can be walked around in half a day.
Jack drove around for a long time before he found a small and inconspicuous hotel. The old Hunters were waiting at the door of the hotel early.
Behind the two old men stood a bald man, a white man in his fifties. Although he had deep wrinkles on his face, he still looked like a tough guy.
Jack took off his sunglasses and looked carefully through the car window, feeling a little confused.
There was originally an action star named Bruce Willis in this world. Jack had also seen some of his movies. Although the one on the screen was more handsome, he still had long hair and was taller. It's only as good as Tom Cruise's.
But Jack never paid much attention to it. After time travel, he had seen more specious stars, such as Nicolas Cage. In this world, he was neither bankrupt nor a model worker, and he looked equally unlike him.
It’s not so much Nicolas Cage, but more like Nicolas Chaos in Jack’s impression. It’s okay if he’s not handsome at all. He always plays some nonsensical comedies and competes with Jim Carrey. rice bowl.
The bald old man who appeared in front of Jack now was obviously closer to the Bruce Willis he had in his previous life.
Giving Jack a strong hug, the old Hunters introduced the bald man to Jack, Frank Moses, a former CIA senior agent, currently retired.
Jack was paralyzed on the spot. Oh, he couldn't figure out how "Detective Hunter" was related to "Red Flame Battlefield".
Why did Rick Hunter and Dee Dee McCall, who had worked as police detectives on the West Coast all their lives, know an R.E.D (Retired Extremely Dangerous: Retired Extremely Dangerous).
