Chapter 398 More Corpses
After sorting all the victim files, not to mention Red and others, even Garcia, who is in charge of comparing the database in Los Angeles, is exhausted. Light, dark circles appear on almost everyone's face.
“We have something new!”
Gill Moss still looked in high spirits, holding her laptop and excitedly walked into the conference room where everyone was.
“This is a phone recording just sent by the Denver Police Department. Someone called anonymously from a public phone.”
As she spoke, she opened a voice file, and a voice that had been changed by a voice changer came from it.
"I think I saw something that may be related to your serial killer."
"What did you see?" This was the voice of the female police officer who answered the phone.
“My car broke down on Interstate 70. When I got out of the car to repair it, I noticed a vacant lot beside the road and a man digging a hole there.”
“What kind of hole? ?" asked the female police officer.
"The burial pit, I saw it, the bleeder, its clothes were stripped off."
"Can you leave your name, sir?" the female police officer asked.
"They will find it at the road sign 300 miles west of Denver." Then the phone was hung up and the recording ended.
“The murderer couldn’t hold himself back anymore, it’s definitely him on the phone.” Gil Moss was beaming.
"His choice of words is very interesting." Rhett thoughtfully rummaged through the tablet to find the previously scanned information.
"Here." He pointed to the wording in a passage. "He called the target 'the bleeder' and used 'it' to refer to it."
Hotchner folded his arms and said coldly. Coldly said, "'It' is the objectification of the victim, and 'the bleeder' is the objectification of women. The name comes from women's menstruation.
Detective Moss is right, the reporter is most likely the murderer himself. "Jack? Jack! Are you okay?" It took several calls from China to wake Jack up from his reverie.
"Ah? No problem, Emily and I will rush to the scene right away." Jack nodded, knowing what Hotchner needed him to do.
Before leaving, he quietly grabbed Jiejie and said, "Do you think Agent Moss's clothes and grooming have become more and more eye-catching recently?"
The past two days have been so busy that he rarely He paid attention to the people around him, but when he saw Gil Moss walking into the conference room today, he was keenly aware of something strange.
Jack still remembered that when he first met this "mature" female agent, although she was wearing business clothes that were tailored to highlight her figure, and she even put on light makeup, that was all.
But when she stepped into the conference room today, Jack noticed that her dress had changed a lot. The original inconspicuous earrings were replaced by earrings, and her hair did not look well cared for before. Now it is spread softly on the shoulders.
The most important thing is that although Gilmore is still wearing black business attire, his previous unchanging trousers have been replaced by a professional one-step skirt, and he has put on stockings and high heels with higher heels.
"You actually pay so much attention to her dress?" After hearing Jack's words, Jiejie looked at this guy suspiciously.
"I'm serious. From a female perspective, are her changes in clothing and appearance normal?" Jack did not dare to make any judgments and had to consult a professional. "Maybe she is always preparing to face the media." Emily, who was about to appear on the scene with Jack, was a little unfazed.
“Or maybe she is really secretly dating Rosie?” An ambiguous smile appeared on Jiejie’s face.
"Maybe, I hope it's really because of these reasons." Jack's worried eyes once again glanced at the leaving figure of Gil Moss. The normal knee-length professional one-step skirt seemed to be a little shorter. , she was forced to wear it out with a bit of lust.
——
When Jack and Emily arrived at the scene, it was already dark. Interstate 70 connected Los Angeles and Denver, which happened to be the route he took Rosie and Red to Colorado. .
On a flat land not far from the street sign, the local police station has set up a blockade. A portable generator is rumbling not far away, and several tall light poles have been erected around it. , providing sufficient lighting for forensic scientists at the scene.
When the two arrived, a pit more than two meters long, one meter wide, and less than one meter deep had been cleared here. A naked female corpse was lying in it.
The corpse was not buried too deeply, and the degree of decomposition was not serious. There was almost no corpse odor.
"The corpse is too well preserved." Emily squatted down by the pit, greeted the two forensic doctors who were working, and then muttered.
The female forensic doctor who was collecting insect corpses around the body looked up at her and nodded in agreement, "Yes, this is very unusual."
The female forensic doctor's hair was already gray and she looked about the same. Fifty or sixty years old.
Jack put on his gloves and touched the soil around the pit. The soil was very moist. The body was not wrapped in anything, but there were not many traces of insect bites on the skin.
"The body was buried here for no more than two days at most." The temperature in Colorado in July was close to 30 degrees. If it had been directly exposed to the outdoors, the body would have looked giant by now.
"Yes, the police officers didn't even have time to use the cadaver dogs. The traces of the soil being turned over are very obvious. However, the time of death cannot be determined for the time being. I suspect that the body has been cryogenically refrigerated."
Maybe it was because I met someone who knew the business. In the FBI, the female forensic doctor talked a little more.
Jack pointed to the abdomen of the female corpse with his gloved finger, "Can you clean this place first? There seems to be something here."
"Wait a moment." The female forensic doctor stood up and came from the side I took a brush and carefully brushed off the dirt at that location, then got closer and took a closer look.
"Looks like a burn?"
"It should be electric burns." Jack sighed, and he was almost certain that this was the victim of the sadistic killer.
The female forensic doctor nodded, "I will reconfirm it when I get back. It is true as you said, and I will highlight it in the report."
Jack showed her a grateful smile. , "There is also the identity of the deceased. Please confirm it as soon as possible. This matter is very urgent."
After chatting with the forensic doctor, Jack and Emily looked around again with flashlights, but unfortunately found nothing. Not even a suspicious tire mark was found.
The several police officers who found the body failed to provide any new clues, although they worked hard to protect the scene.
The forensic doctor over there has almost finished cleaning up, and her two assistants are loading the body onto a stretcher to be transported away. Jack and Emily are also walking towards the car parked not far away. They have to rush back to Denver overnight.
"Hey, I think you should come over and take a look again." The female forensic doctor suddenly stopped them.
