Chapter 397 Profile, self-assertion, suspicion
"How do you interpret the trophies he collected? They are the clothes he took off the victims." One person held a notepad and bit his pen. asked the pensive FBI agent.
Rossi stood up and explained.
“We believe that those are fantasy media through which he relives his memories. His transvestism is just to facilitate memories. He may be masturbating constantly at this stage, looking for those that are related to his pleasure. Picture.
When these can no longer satisfy him, he will go out and look for new prey.
I have no doubt that when we catch him, we will find a lot of video or audio evidence, just like the materials found in the warehouse. "
Hotchner nodded and continued, "It should be noted that he committed the crime for at least ten years, and he used a longer time to plan and ponder his modus operandi.
His actions are constantly evolving, seeking new stimulation points and raising his own threshold. If we can't catch him, we will face"
"Guys! You guys should come see this. "Jie Jie appeared at the door in a hurry, tilting her head slightly to signal to everyone.
In the TV screen, Gil Moss was talking to the camera, saying such things as evil has no escape, and finally Will be brought to justice by the righteous FBI and such nonsense
"What did she disclose to the media?" Hotchner said coldly.
"No specific information was disclosed, but it was mentioned that there are serial killers who target women and use torture as a means of pleasure, and four victims have been found so far."
Jie Jie is getting Jack. After receiving the reminder, she followed Gil Moss, only to find that she had already summoned local media reporters and held a press conference directly at the entrance of the FBI local office building.
Seeing that it was too late to stop Jiejie, she could only watch from the sidelines, ready to step forward and interrupt Gil Moss if he made a mistake.
Fortunately, this woman has not yet been completely carried away by utilitarianism. She just spoke in official terms like a declaration, without disclosing specific details or the participation of the BAU team in the investigation.
"Agent Moss, I don't know your style of doing things, but if you insist on holding a press conference, at least notify me and my team first."
As expected, once Gil Moss waited When she came back, Hotchner transformed into a lich (the hero LICH in DOTA) who could release serial frosts. His whole body exuded a biting cold air and walked into her office.
He did not close the office door, so everyone who was pretending to be busy outside heard clearly the conversation that took place inside.
“This is not a press conference, just a simple statement.” Gil Moss looked innocent and didn’t seem to realize there was anything wrong with what he did.
“I think you should understand what I mean.” Hotchner bluntly exposed her sophistry.
Gil Moss spread his hands and wanted to explain, "Sooner or later this news will be leaked. I just want to express a reassuring attitude to the public."
"What is your personal attitude?" Hotchner questioned.
“I’m also a member of the task force, right?” Gil Moss was a little anxious, and seemed to finally realize something.
Hotchner was really angry, and the words almost popped out from his teeth one by one.
“But at the same time, your level is not higher than anyone in our team. If they all act without permission like you, is it necessary for this task force to exist?”
Jack, Jiejie, and Emily looked at each other and made faces at each other. Hotchner had to be the one to protect the calf. The scene where they were treated as younger brothers had obviously been noticed by someone.
The conversation inside paused for a while, and it took a long time before Gil Moss's deliberately lowered voice came out. It was no longer pretending to be dumbfounded before, but was tense and panicked.
“Do you mean to kick me out?”
Hotchner’s sigh came from the office.
"Of course not, but you can take this as a warning. Treating the case as an opportunity for personal limelight is our biggest taboo."
"I just want to remind the public that this serial killer may be the most brutal serial killer since Charles Cullen."
Gil Moss is still trying to defend himself. The Charles Cullen she was talking about, also known as the "Angel of Death," was a male nurse who worked diligently for sixteen years in ten hospitals and took care of thousands of seriously ill patients.
After his arrest, he personally admitted that more than 40 patients had died through drug injection, but the police only found evidence of 22 of the victims.
What is even more frightening is that according to police investigations and statistics, the actual number of victims may be as high as more than 400.
"By cruelty, do you mean the number of victims? Looking forward to discovering more corpses and treating them as the achievements of the murderer, and these corpses will become a glorious addition to your resume in the near future? < br>
Do you know Michael Strunko, Florian Gale, Christopher Hardgrove? ”
Gil Moss was speechless, “I, I didn’t listen. Said these names."
"These are the victims of Charles Cullen's murder. No one remembers them, but the public remembers the name of the murderer."
Hotchner said sternly. He scolded, "Don't use the case as an opportunity to hype yourself up. The FBI doesn't need such agents. Do you understand?"
Gil Moss said nothing until Hotchner quickly left his office.
"Although this is the first time I've seen Hotch so angry, I bet you ten bucks that she didn't take what Hotch said to heart at all." Jack opened with a smile.
"Twenty dollars, you're right." Emily agreed.
“Jack!” Rossi felt his head hurt as he looked at these guys who were afraid of chaos.
"Then let's change the bet and bet on whether Agent Moss will find Rosie to apologize in private tonight and then ask him for a drink." Jack raised his eyebrows at everyone.
"Ten dollars will give her the money." Rhett was also confused now and took out a banknote.
“Twenty yuan second proposal.” Jiejie is wealthy and powerful.
“I’ll give you ten bucks, too.” Emily was not to be outdone.
This time Jack frowned and bet on one side. Wouldn’t that mean he, the banker, would have to pay compensation?
Rossi sighed heavily on the side, feeling that this team was getting harder and harder to lead.
"I bet you 100 yuan that I will agree to her invitation."
He directly took out a hundred-dollar bill, and the kid stuffed it into Jack's hand like he was angry.
Is there anyone else who is so shameless? Everyone suppressed their laughter and looked at someone who was frozen in place with a black line on his forehead.
——
In fact, Jack didn’t really have much dislike for Gil Moss. She avoided Jack’s most taboo point and did not talk nonsense in front of the media, nor did she bring out the BAU. Be a shield.
As for disclosing the general situation of the case to the public through the media, just as she defended herself, as long as a formal investigation is launched, it will inevitably be leaked, and there is not much difference whether it is sooner or later.
Most serial murderers will not stop because they are exposed. On the contrary, it is more likely that they will continue to commit crimes crazily and "enjoy" the last happiness as much as possible before being caught.
As for those innocent souls who are about to die in vain at the hands of the murderer because of Gil Moss’s statement, what does it have to do with him? I just hope that this eldest sister who is eager to make progress will not have nightmares at night.
However, Jack still had an indescribable feeling about Gil Moss. He always felt that this beautiful FBI agent with a familiar appearance seemed to bet all his future career on it. ,
He even did not hesitate to forge physical evidence for this. It should not be just for the sake of fame or promotion.
But what is the specific reason? As an experienced driver, he only has some vague guesses. If he says it now, it will probably be regarded as nonsense. We might as well wait and see.
——
Everyone was busy in the next two days. In addition to the four known family members of the victims who needed to be questioned, there were also people who came from all over Colorado after seeing the news. The Denver Police Department and FBI Office describe the experiences of their missing relatives.
They took photos of their missing relatives and the original report information and told the police and detectives over and over again, hoping to provide as many clues as possible.
What they want is nothing else. To use an old saying from Siris, they want to see people when they are alive, and they want to see corpses when they die.
The detectives of the task force screened out the missing women who were between 28 and 42 years old, had a bachelor's degree or above, and were engaged in white-collar occupations based on the profiles previously made by the BAU team.
After being filtered again by Jack and others, the list is still nearly 50 people long.
