Chapter 758 The Unpredictable Jubal
Then the pencil in Jubal’s hand pointed at the analysts, “The three victims all came from almost the same area, from northern Manhattan to the border of Connecticut, so that area is The murderer's hunting ground, but why were they chosen?
We need to find the common ground, so we need all the background information of these victims, friends, relatives, husbands and related criminal information, Jiejie, this information. Can I leave the sorting and analysis work to you?
I heard that you have completed the behavior analysis course at BAU.”
Jie Jie nodded and said it was no problem. This is the same as what she did before. The work of screening case data at BAU is actually the same.
"OK, Jack, now can you tell me your opinion from the perspective of a psychological expert? What kind of opponent are we going to deal with? Do you have any preliminary analysis?"
After Jubal arranged his work, he walked to Jack asked in a low voice beside him.
I don’t know if it was BAU’s performance this time that made him interested in hunting down serial killers through behavioral analysis. As soon as Jack entered the door just now, he heard him rambling on about the definition of serial killers.
"There is a small detail that may be helpful." Jack turned on his phone and showed Jubal the detailed photos of the three corpses he had just taken at the scene.
“You just said that the three victims were all married, right?”
Jubal frowned as he looked at the three horrific photos of corpses, "Yes, that's right, what do you want to say?"
Isobel, who was following him, also saw these photos of the scene, except for the expressions on their faces. Although he is ugly, he can't hide the anger in his eyes. This is due to the empathy of a woman.
Jack swiped the phone screen, paused slightly and zoomed in on the close-up photos of the hands of the three corpses, "I did not find wedding rings on their fingers."
"There isn't one?" Jubal was a little surprised. He took his phone and looked through it carefully.
"So there is a possibility that the murderer took the ring as a trophy." Jack began to analyze it purely from the perspective of a perverted killer. Generally speaking, guys who want to rob sex but also rob money will not take such trouble to deal with it. The corpse, at least not without any clothing.
"So what does this mean?" Isobel on the side was a little curious. She was also an ASAC (Assistant Administrator), but she didn't look as domineering as Joyner.
After all, previous attempted terrorist attacks have been widely circulated within various federal law enforcement agencies, and all kinds of gossip are flying within the FBI. In addition to the BAU action team, the New York Office Operations Center, which plays an important supporting role, is also famous. Rise up.
That is to say, Jack and the others will soon be independent and form an independent action team. If an ordinary person is transferred here, he will be a little uneasy and worried that he will not be able to control the situation.
"On the surface, the ring represents love and a symbol of marriage. From another perspective, it is also an oath of attachment and ownership."
Jack remembered that time The first case after the formal establishment of the BAU team was about a perverted killer who specialized in hunting couples. His hobby was collecting the underwear of female victims.
"So there are two possibilities. The murderer took the ring as his trophy and used it as a collection for aftertaste. The second possibility is, under what circumstances would a person take off the wedding ring on his own hand?"
"When you are having fun." Hannah, who had been listening nearby, responded quickly.
"Yes, no matter what the situation is, given that the three current victims are all beautiful married women under 30 years old, we can tentatively assume that the other party is a thief. Uh. What I mean is The murderer may be obsessed with young and beautiful wives.
So how did he accurately locate these victims? I think we can first talk to the husbands of the victims and ask if their wives have done anything strange recently. , or has anyone harassed their wives?"
After speaking, Jack was about to reach out to get his phone back, but found Jubal staring at the photos on his phone in a daze.
"Jubal?"
"Ah, what?" Jubal woke up from a dream and quickly handed the phone back to Jack. "Oh, okay, Aubrey is coming back from the scene. You can first go to the husband of the latest deceased, Beatrice Santos, to inquire about the situation. I will arrange for another detective to work with him to find the other two victims. Let’s talk to the reporter’s husband.”
“Just arrange it for me. I can get acquainted with everyone by the way.” Put it very low.
"OK, I will send you Aubrey's phone number." Jubal didn't look right. He didn't know what he was thinking. Just when Jack and Hannah were about to leave, he called alone Lived Jack.
"Have you noticed the type and knotting method of the wires used by the murderer to bind the victims? Is it No. 14 wires and square knots?"
Jack raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Yes, don't tell I said you guessed it. "
In the AWG (American wire gauge) American wire gauge, the larger the wire number, the smaller the wire diameter. No. 14 means that the wire diameter is 1.63 mm and the cross-sectional area is 2.075 square millimeters, according to the principle of rounding, directly expressed in spoken language is two square meters of wires.
The square knot is commonly known as a dead knot. People who are clumsy when tying shoelaces often fail to tie the bow knot, and they will tie it into a dead knot accidentally.
Jubal looked uneasy, "I need to check some things, and I may have to make a few phone calls. You go ahead and do it. I will explain this to you later."
< br>
"Okay, contact me if you have any questions." Jack felt that this guy was a little distracted. It seemed that he hadn't seen him show such an expression for a long time since he secretly helped him solve the problem of his eldest daughter's illness last time.
But now is obviously not the time to get to the bottom of it. Now that he said so, Jack stopped questioning and turned around to catch up with Hannah and leave.
There is a small town called Stanford about 60 kilometers northeast of New York City. Of course, Stanford has nothing to do with the famous university in California on the west coast of the United States.
The city of Stamford belongs to the state of Connecticut in terms of administrative planning, but in fact it should be regarded as a satellite city around New York. After all, it is too close to each other.
It took Jack and Hannah an hour to leave New York City, and then it took less than 40 minutes to find the residence of one of the victims, Beatrice Santos, based on the address.
Beatrice Santos's husband is a brown-skinned Latino. It can be seen that the family's financial situation is not bad, and the house is well-kept.
Most New Yorkers of average means choose to rent a house in the city, while the truly wealthy choose to buy a house in the suburbs or small towns around New York. As a result, housing prices in the surrounding areas of New York remain high, especially This is an area where rich people gather.
The information shows that Beatrice Santos’s husband is a senior IT engineer with a good income. After receiving Jack’s call, he was already waiting at home early.
Apparently the husband had learned in advance from the local police station that his missing wife's body had been found, and was currently in the second stage of grief - anger.
American psychologist Elizabeth Kubler-Ross proposed the "Five Stages of Grief" in her book "On Death and Dying".
These are denial/isolation, anger, self-reflection, frustration/depression, and ultimately acceptance.
This husband is obviously in the second stage - anger. When the pain slowly emerges, people will naturally project their sadness, feel angry at themselves or others, and feel that someone needs to express their gratitude for the death of their loved ones. Responsible.
"I'm going crazy, why was Beatrice found in the lake in Central Park, why did she come to town, why was she there!"
Looking at the With the man in front of him, even though he knew that he would be angered if he continued to speak, Jack still had to say what he meant.
"Everything is still under investigation. Mr. Santos, we need you to tell us again in detail what happened the night your wife disappeared."
