Chapter 435 Reunion
The time zones of California and Massachusetts are three hours apart. Even though the Gulf Stream is much faster than ordinary civil aviation, the sun was already setting when the plane landed.
There were still two Saber cars waiting at the airport. Hotchner helped Jack stuff the two large boxes of equipment into the trunk. He looked at the heavily pressed car body and twitched his face.
According to the previous arrangement, they would go directly to the scene, and Hotchner took the initiative to sit in the driving seat.
In this regard, Jack still likes the European and American style. Although Hotchner is also a leader, he will basically take the initiative to drive every time he is around.
In silence all the way, the three of them followed the navigation system and came to a remote mountain road. The warning tape had not yet been removed. A group of reporters gathered around a senior police officer in plainclothes who was talking.
"I followed the 'Boston Death' case for a full 18 months. If there is any evidence to prove that the current horrific case is not a copycat crime, I will inform the public as soon as possible."
Hotchner got out of the car alone, stood aside quietly with a frown on his face, and waited for his small impromptu press conference to end before stepping forward to shake hands with him.
"I'm sorry I didn't have time to return your call. As you saw, I was too busy." The police superintendent looked about the same age as Hotchner, but the "vegetation" above his head was much sparser. .
Hotchner is considered a handsome man in the traditional sense, with a slightly longer face, a square chin, a wide forehead, thin lips, and thick eyebrows. He looks square and majestic,
If he were a few years younger, his appearance would not be comparable to that of Henry Cavill, who played "Superman", but he would definitely win against Tyler Hoechlin, who plays the TV version of "Superman".
Hotchner's black hair is not as thick as a middle-aged man. It is said that people who often think about it are prone to hair loss, but the hair volume of these people in the BAU team seems to be considerable.
"This is not the work of an imitator, Director Vaughn." Hotchner's first sentence to the point hit the man's lungs. If the two had not known each other before, this man might have directly It exploded.
Seeing this man's expression change instantly, Hotchner rarely said another word. He didn't know whether it was an explanation or a comfort.
“I also hope to be an imitator, but it’s a pity.”
Director Vaughn's face was green and white, and he replied rudely, "Really? But you have no right to make a conclusion, and I didn't invite you."
Hotchner flashed the death police in his hands. Check out the letter Tom Shaunas gave him, "Shaunas invited me before."
The two talked in a low voice, Director Vaughn's face turned from green to red, and his eyes wandered indefinite.
"Do we need to join now?" Hotchner asked.
"." The embarrassment on Director Vaughn's face flashed away, he forced a smile, and then nodded.
Hotchner waved to Jack and Jiejie who were still in the car, and then they got out of the car and walked towards them.
"What was Tom thinking at that time? Didn't he know that doing so might destroy the entire police station?" Chief Vaughn was still speechless.
"Yes." Hotchner agreed and introduced both parties.
“We are stationed in the FBI Boston Regional Office, and I handle all media public relations matters. The current strategy is to insist on the media’s imitation of the crime, hoping to make it clear”
While Jiejie After communicating with the chief, Jack looked at the crime scene within the blockade. The bodies there had been removed, but the "Eye of God" was painted on the car, and the car driven by the victim was still in the distance. .
He had long noticed the familiar figure in a woolen suit.
"Oscar Finlay, didn't you say you were ready to retire when you returned to Boston?"
The short black man who was busy beside the car couldn't help but stiffen when he heard this sentence, and he slowly He slowly turned around and when he saw Jack, he raised the glasses on his nose in disbelief. "Jack?!" He stood up excitedly and hugged him hard.
“I didn’t expect to see you here. How did you become the FBI? I thought you would go to the IRS.”
Jack felt that this guy was much stockier than when we met in Margrave more than a year ago. "I play for BAU now, and you have been working out?"
Finlay showed off his brachium. Biceps, "How are you? I'm worried that one day I'll meet you two lawless Jack again, so I've been exercising."
His words reminded Jack of that bloody night again, everything seemed like yesterday, this This little black police detective couldn't beat Roscoe, a girl from a small southern town. Is he always ready to avenge his past humiliation?
He patted Finlay on the shoulder feeling speechless. Jack secretly gave him a long-lasting healing technique. Seeing each other was fate. Although this guy has average combat power and a bit of an awkward personality, he is indeed a rare one. Good people.
Good people should live long, this is one of Jack’s simple values.
At this time, several people on the other side also ended their conversation. Seeing the two people who were excited about chatting, they walked over together. Jack introduced each other.
"OK, I have nothing to do here. I will fully cooperate with the FBI, Detective Finlay." Director Vaughn did not give Finlay a good look, and left the scene directly after saying this.
"Political animal." Finlay muttered behind him.
"As expected of you, Finlay, you are not welcome anywhere." Jack teased.
“Why don’t we talk about the situation first.”
This case happened in the middle of the night yesterday, and the file Jiejie got only contained a thin piece of paper and a few photos.
Finlay nodded, and while using his mobile phone to open the photos of the scene he had taken earlier, he introduced the identity of the victim.
"The two victims, Nina Hale, 19 years old, and Evan Harry, 23 years old, are a young couple.
Nina had her throat cut and her body He was stabbed 46 times, hit on the head with a blunt object, and then shot in the head, but I couldn't find the bullet casing at the scene."
Hotchner asked, "That's right. 44 caliber Magnum revolver? ”
Finlay was stunned for a moment and nodded, "It is indeed .44 caliber. How do you know?"
Hotchner opened the small notebook in his hand, "He likes to use .44 caliber Magnum revolvers. , also usually carrying a dagger, and the younger the female victims, the more time he spent on them."
"Ten years ago, Hodge had been involved in the "Boston Death" case. ”
Jack’s explanation made Finlay suddenly realize.
"You are the Aaron that Tom mentioned. He once mentioned you to me. I worked with him for a short period of time, but we had a good relationship."
After he finished speaking, he continued to show the photos on his phone, "I found a mark on the wrist of the deceased woman. Judging from the shape, she might have been wearing a watch or something like that before."
Finlay's skills are weak. A bit, but his brain is pretty good. Although he doesn’t have the aura of another protagonist, Jack Reacher, he is remarkable both in terms of his level of care and his rich experience in investigating cases.
On the last day, guys just need to help me get 2,000 votes.
