Chapter 745 The murderer appears
The next morning, everyone went to the streets in pairs to participate in patrols, Emily and Danny, Hotchner and Joyner, Hannah and Jiejie , Jack and Rosie, as well as BAU newcomer Luke Elwes and Danny's female partner Jenny became temporary partners.
Basically, a local or half-local who is familiar with the surrounding situation is paired with another partner who is relatively unfamiliar. Of course, strictly speaking, Rosie has lived in New York much longer than Jack. .
But who makes someone seem to be a little bit favoritistic whether he is partnered with Hannah or Jie Jie? In addition, Rosie is barely half a public person. What if the other party is really coming for BAU? , having Jack at least made up for the weakest link among them.
In fact, Jack’s worries are still coming. Jiejie will not go back to Los Angeles for the time being. When picking up people at the airport two days ago, Jack discovered the luggage of everyone in the BAU. A bit much.
When the BAU went out in the past, Jack usually had the most luggage, because various guns, especially sniper rifles, needed special gun cases to store them, which took up a lot of space.
The rest of the team members usually only bring a travel bag with emergency spare clothes and spare guns. Red and Rosie will bring a few more books, while Emily and Jiejie’s bags The bag will be slightly larger.
Because women need to pay more attention to their image and have more clothes, sometimes a suitcase is used instead of a travel bag, but whether it is a suitcase or a bag, everyone calls it Emergency kit.
This time the BAU also brought some firearms. Newcomer Luke Elwes is very skilled and is also a weapons expert. He replaced Jack as the force in the group, but the amount of luggage was obviously a bit excessive. There was a third more when Jack was there.
Then most of the luggage was sent to a certain penthouse apartment, because these belonged to Jiejie, not emergency kits, but belongings.
According to Hotchner's arrangement, after the end of this case, Jiejie was officially seconded to the New York office, or to be more precise, seconded to Jack's Most Wanted Fugitive Team.
Garcia volunteered to take over part of Jiejie's work. With everyone's encouragement, this lovely fat girl finally no longer contented herself with sitting in the office, but wanted to go out in the field with the group.
In her words, it is really a torture to stay behind and anxiously waiting for the disturbing news from the front, especially when she hears that someone has been attacked or even injured, her heart breaks. Now, coming to New York this time is Garcia’s first attempt.
In the future, Jiejie’s work will be divided into two parts. Garcia will be responsible for sorting out cases from various places, selecting them, and finally handing them over to the BAU, while the “diplomat” part will be handled by Hotchner assumes.
So the dormitory on the second floor of the new office that someone had renovated in a hurry is about to be put into use. Originally, it was okay for two women and one man to live in the same apartment, but the relationship between the three parties was not the same. Simple.
"We haven't even found the murderer yet, and the two parties are quarreling over the death penalty in the newspapers." Rossi sighed, crumpled the newspaper in his hand and threw it into the trash can.
Jack shrugged and made no comment on this. He didn't even want to participate in office politics now, let alone political issues in a broad sense.
"So you didn't find anything left by the murderer at the scene yesterday?" Rossi looked at the bustling crowd on the street and took the initiative to change the topic.
This question made Jack frown, "Nothing was found, which is strange. I thought the other party would at least leave us a small note or something."
"This is different from The profile doesn't match." Rossi looked confused and subconsciously trimmed his hair. His thick black hair would be the envy of old guys his age.
"According to the profile, they should try to have further contact with us, or provoke us."
Jack followed his train of thought and continued, "Yes, it stands to reason that the contact with the other party should be upgraded. They try to create panic and satisfy their own psychological needs
John Muhammad in the 'DC Sniper' case tried to blackmail the police for $1 million after leaving the 'Death' tarot card. Bank card, they knew they had no chance to actually use the money in it, they just used it to ridicule the police.
After contacting the police, the 'Son of Sam' wrote to the media and made up a random horror story. Portraying himself as a victim driven by the devil to kill.
This is also the origin of the nickname "Son of Sam". In fact, the police later discovered that the Sam who was said to be possessed by the devil was actually his neighbor. A dog.”
Rossi looked at the street in a daze and murmured, "Our suspects are extremely organized. They always seem to pick the busiest time of the day to attack, but in fact they will survey the scene in advance. , planning an escape route.
They left a death card at the scene, seemingly trying to create panic, but they did not take the initiative to contact the media. This is more like a personal grudge. ""A personal grudge against us? "It's not that Jack hasn't considered this problem, but he has done a lot of preventive work to guard against this kind of thing.
Even if you want to kill in a plot, it must be logical. There is no reason for the other party not to investigate the situation of the BAU team before taking action. Even if there is a traitor who cooperates to provide system permissions, it cannot be completely bypassed. Those traps Justin set.
However, his analysis reminded Jack, "Do you think it is possible that the other party came to the FBI's New York office?"
Rosie raised her eyebrows, "How do you say that?"
Jack bought two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice on the roadside and handed one to Rosie. The two of them walked and chatted, "A few days ago, when you picked up What was the first thing that came to mind when you came to this case? "
"'Son of Sam'" Rossi answered.
“What did we think of when the murderer left the ‘Death’ tarot card at the scene?” Jack continued to ask.
“‘DC Sniper’.” Rossi seemed to understand what he meant.
"They are creating a series of connection lines, trying to attract our attention, but is it possible? We are thinking too much. When it comes to hunting serial killers, the first thing we think of is the BAU team, but in the eyes of outsiders , the first thing that should come to mind is the FBI."
Rosie suddenly realized, "So they launched the attack for two consecutive days after the FBI announced its intervention. Damn it, Dana mobilized the surrounding FBI field personnel. The agents coming to New York should also be part of their plan."
Jack patted the old guy on the shoulder to calm him down, "It shouldn't be that simple. The agents are now fully armed and distributed on the streets. They rest at night. They are also scattered everywhere. It should not be a collective attack on field agents. Our puzzle is almost complete, but the last piece is missing."
"The recent cases in your New York office are related to organized gangs or terrorism. Are the molecules related?" Rossi took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call.
"No matter what, I want to inform Dana to contact DHS (Department of Homeland Security), NSA (National Security Agency) and CIA to screen for recent domestic terrorist attack threats."
Jack frowned and thought for a long time. He never thought that any of the cases he had handled recently were related to terrorist organizations. There were indeed rumors that Anthony Vargas's Durange drug cartel had financial transactions with some local terrorist organizations.
But this guy was transferred to Colorado some time ago, which is known as the highest security prison in the United States, because previous NSA intelligence showed that the Durange drug cartel had a fund of nearly ten million dollars missing. .
Because I am worried that these guys will repeat their old tricks and continue to make bomb threats in New York, this case has been officially submitted to the DOJ (Department of Justice), the superior department of the FBI.
So in theory, just threatening the FBI is useless. Jack temporarily rejected this speculation.
Now that all FBI agents are on the streets, what will the other side do next? Just as Jack was repeatedly speculating on the other party's motives, Garcia's call came from the wireless headset.
"Jack, are you there? The murderer showed up again. He just shot a woman in front of an ATM at the corner of Broadway Avenue and 16th Street. He ran east and is now on 16th Street."
Jack grabbed Rosie and rushed towards the Dodge Hellcat parked on the side of the road, "Who's around there?"
"It's Emily and Detective Regan. The murderer's escape direction happened to be There they are!" Garcia's anxious voice even contained a cry.
"I'll be there in five minutes!" Jack sounded the siren and stepped on the accelerator to the floor without waiting for Rosie to fasten her seat belt. The tires screamed and rubbed against the ground, causing a burst of smoke.
