Chapter 383 Mystery on the Beach (4) (Please vote for me)
Early the next morning, Jack was still busy in the kitchen, cooking a loving breakfast for Sleeping Beauty on the bed, and their cell phones rang almost at the same time.
The calls were made by Rossi and Hotchner respectively. Another body appeared near the beach. The group was divided into two. Jack Reed and Rossi went to the scene where the body was dumped, and the rest went Investigate the hotel where the deceased lived.
Hurrying goodbye to Jiejie, Jack went downstairs and took an Uber home to pick up the car. In order to save trouble last night, he parked the Saban directly near Jiejie’s house. Now he can only leave the car keys. Leave it to her.
Going back together last night and talking about the investigation clues about stopping by the gym, but going to work together the next day is a bit too much.
Although he bought a new car, Jack is definitely not someone who likes the new and hates the old. He still fires up the car when he goes to work, changes his clothes, and hurries to the Santa Monica Marina.
Although it took some time, Jack, who only stepped on the accelerator and hardly stepped on the brakes, was still the first to arrive. By the time Rosie and Red arrived late, he had already soaked in the sea water. It's been a while.
The body was stuffed under a wooden trestle, and almost half of it was soaked in sea water. Jack could only take off his shoes and jump under the bridge for inspection.
Seeing Rossi and Rhett appear, he waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to come down to wet their feet.
“It’s almost the same as the previous corpse. He was shot in the head and castrated after death. What a ghost. This time the corpse was wrapped in plastic film again.”
With the help of Rhett's extended hand, Jack returned to the trestle. As he spoke, he put down his trousers, wiped off the sea water and sand on his feet, and put on his socks and shoes.
"So our previous speculation was correct. The murderer wrapped the body with emotional sustenance, but we don't know the reason for hiding it yet." Reid said.
Jack agreed, "Yes, and although he changed the way he abandoned the body, he still chose the beach. This may have some special meaning to him, which is what you said when you drew a circle on the map. That kind of criminal comfort zone."
Rosie hung up the phone and turned towards the two of them, "Jack, did you smell alcohol when you checked the body? Hodge and the others found a lot of it in the hotel room. The empty wine bottles on the bedside bar were completely empty.”
“Yes, I can smell the smell of wine without tearing off the plastic film. This guy was completely drunk before he died. Mud." Jack said and dialed Garcia's number.
"Baby, I hope you have some good news. We already have 5 corpses on hand."
"You may be disappointed. Your Highness, please ask Dr. Reid, who has an IQ of 187, for me." The victim, Sean Taylor, rented a blue Dodge after getting off the plane, but the local police could not find the car.
The car rental company activated the recovery system, but the GPS was turned off. How to find this car?"
Unfortunately, Rhett couldn't figure out the answer this time.
“Are there any other deceased people’s cars in this condition?” Rossi asked from the sidelines.
"Yes, and that Joseph Krause, he also rented a car, but he can't find it either," Garcia answered.
“So our murderer is also proficient in stealing cars?” Jack was surprised.
"Not necessarily, it could be an experienced auto mechanic." Reid said.
The discussion was fruitless for a while, and then Jack remembered the purpose of calling Garcia.
“By the way, Garcia, let’s take a look at the latest forensic report. What is the alcohol concentration in the other victims’ bodies?”
"Wait a minute, um. The report said that the alcohol concentration in the bodies of the four previous deceased people was relatively high."
Garcia's voice just came out on the phone, and the eyes of the three people on the other end of the phone lit up at the same time. Finally found some common ground.
——
Two hours later, in the conference room of the local police station, everyone gathered together to start the first profiling.
Rossi was the first to make an opening statement, "The murderer started committing crimes almost two months ago, but the interval between crimes has been shortening in the past few weeks. Why is this?"
Jack took a sip of the milk tea he just bought. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast because he was in a hurry, leaving all the breakfast for Jiejie.
"It shows that the murderer's emotions are getting tense and he needs to vent. Whether it is for financial reasons or emotional reasons, his life is becoming more and more difficult." "The comfort zone of the murderer can be basically determined, from Saint Mo The area between Nica and Redondo Beach is obsessed with discarding corpses on the beach. The reason is unknown
For the time being, we only know the whereabouts of each victim on the night of their disappearance. It can be traced back to 9 o'clock in the evening."
A pencil was spinning dexterously in Rhett's hand, which seemed to represent the speed of his thinking at this time, which made someone a little envious.
"We haven't found their missing car yet," Chief Parker of the local police station added.
"Is it possible that the murderer, under the pretense of hitchhiking, killed the victim in a deserted place?"
Hotchner shook his head, "This cannot explain how the murderer knew that the victims matched his profile. Emotional standards, whether they are bankrupt or suffering from other financial crises, cannot be judged from their appearance in a short period of time."
Jie Jie agreed, "From the gym surveillance, Sean Taylor was that day. When he left the gym, he still looked upset. "
"And Joe Krause's wife said that he was also in a bad mood recently because of financial problems, and he often went to the beach to relax," Hotchner remembered. The story of my conversation with Mrs. Claus yesterday.
"So, do all victims have this problem? Jack, what do you do when you are in a bad mood?" Rossi asked suddenly.
"A date? Uh, no." Jack glanced at Jie Jie guiltily, then quickly looked away and began to replace the old rookie John.
What does this guy do when he is in a bad mood? He came to his house, drank wine and smoked cigars in the backyard, and then talked about his ex-wife and his son.
"Looking for a place to have a drink?" He pondered for a long time, thinking of the strong smell of alcohol that he had smelled on the deceased, and seemed to have found the right answer.
Rosie nodded affirmatively, "Maybe, I mean, is it possible that the murderer did not take the deceased to the beach, but they went there themselves, and the murderer just waited there nearby."< br>
The thick fog seemed to be instantly broken by his words, and everyone began to think quickly.
Emily murmured to herself, "No one will refuse a free drink at a bar or party. When you are upset, maybe you will refuse an approach from the opposite sex, but from a stranger "Isn't this the person you want to talk to?"
Reed poured cold water on her, "But we still have one problem that we haven't solved, even if Garcia completes the investigation of all the victims. A background check revealed that they were all business people with financial problems.
But it still could not explain why some of them were wrapped into mummies and some were not wrapped at all. There must be some similarities and differences that we haven’t discovered.”
Chief Parker felt that he was not keeping up with everyone’s thinking, and asked, “So, can you tell me first, I should explain to my subordinates. What should we pay attention to?
After the fifth corpse was discovered today, the officials in the city hall went crazy and almost ordered me to solve the case within a time limit. "
Hotchner pondered for a moment and made a brief summary, "What we are looking for is a middle-aged man. His target is those who are depressed and come to the beach to get drunk. people.
He does not appear to be threatening on the surface, is good at listening, can make friends with the victim in a short period of time, and can make the victim reveal his true feelings in a few words.
We speculate that the murderer also suffered bankruptcy or divorce in a short period of time, and used this to empathize with the victim. He felt that his behavior was a kind of kindness, liberating the victim from the abyss of pain. "
Rhett then explained, "Every time he castrates the victim after his death, it is because of his own reasons. I guess it is a kind of 'Yang Wei' from psychological to physical. . ”
"By the way, he may also be proficient in auto repair technology or at least know how to turn off the GPS of a dismantled car."
Chief Parker showed a sad look. Although he was still looking for a needle in a haystack, he had a rough psychological portrait. At least people can know what this needle looks like.
“I think I know where Garcia should focus her investigation.” Jack’s words attracted everyone’s attention.
“Check the consumption records of the five victims, especially liquor stores and bars, and compare where they bought alcohol or had similar consumption records. You may be able to find a similar place.”< br>
