Chapter 774 The Appearance of the Victim (please vote for double period)
The sound of rain outside gradually stopped. Jubal hung up the phone and returned to the bedroom with a gloomy face. He happened to see Jack reaching out to close the eyelids of the deceased. At this scene, I couldn't help but sigh.
"The ERT team is already on the way, and the Pittsburgh office has sent another team over. It will take some time."
Jack's eyes roamed around the room, and finally stopped at the bedside table of the deceased. On a picture frame on the screen, "Give me a daily picture of Madison Hargrove and a picture of the previous attempted rape victim."
"I have it here." Hannah said from He pulled out the tablet from his waist and opened it to bring up two photos.
Jack took the tablet, then picked up the photo frame on the table and placed the photos on the tablet together. Everyone opened their eyes wide and instantly understood what he meant.
"They look like sisters." Jiejie murmured.
"Ronnie's modus operandi seems to be random, but the targets he chooses are not. These girls are all typical American sweethearts." Jack looked at Hannah when he spoke.
Because Hannah also has this type of appearance. Different from the pig kidney face or snake face of those Internet celebrities on the Chinese Internet in her previous life, the traditional American sweetheart face can be directly referred to Rachel in "Friends" , that is, Jennifer Aniston.

Similar ones include Meg Ryan and Little Red Riding Hood's Amanda Seyfried.

Big smart eyes, delicate and small nose, plump and attractive red lips, delicate chin and blond hair, the most important thing is the fullness on the cheeks Without showing the obtrusive apple muscles.
Of course, this is just the standard for a sweetheart face. Another standard for an American sweetheart is to have the temperament of a girl next door. Otherwise, "Black Widow" Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift and Anne Hathaway Can also be selected.
"So he has been repeating the same thing, repeatedly torturing and killing the same type of women, as if he was targeting the same person." Aubrey's expression suddenly changed.
——
An hour and a half later, after handing over the scene with the county police, state police and ERT team who arrived, Jubal and Jiejie returned to the command vehicle, and everyone in the conference room was continuing the previous discussion.
"Ex-girlfriend?" Hannah hypothesized.
"His partner was released at the school dance?" Jie Jie was the last to get in the car and pulled the car door.
"Or maybe it's his family." Jack never underestimated the perversion of perverts. He turned to look at Alice, who had been busy in front of the computer, "Does Ronnie have sisters or cousins?"< br>
"If we don't find out, he has no father. His mother has taken him wandering around since he was a child. His current whereabouts are unknown. Maybe we won't be able to find her until the next time she is arrested for selling silver."
Although Alice did not She participated in the action just now, but the photos that everyone sent back from the scene made her mood that had recovered a little fell to the bottom again.
"Am I the only one who has this doubt? It seems that Ronnie's follower, Lei Lin, looks completely different from his target." Clay seemed to have adjusted his emotions. .
Everyone couldn't help but look at the picture of Leileen Parker on the screen. She had a small round face, brown hair, not much good looks, and a slightly crazy look in her eyes.
“Because she may be another role for Ronnie.” Jiejie poured herself a glass of water.
"For example? A spare sexual release tool?" Aubrey, who has always been good-tempered, also got a little carried away.
"Bystanders, or witnesses, are responsible for providing a sense of recognition while appreciating his crimes." Jiejie analyzed, "Lei Lin is his emotional partner, and the victims are the ones who vent. Tool."
"It seems that the girl almost became someone else's partner before." Alice displayed a screenshot of the web page, "Jack said that just because they don't have a social account, it doesn't mean they won't show up to others.
So I prioritized the social accounts of people of the same age as her in West Virginia, where she had been living, and found this. "This is a boy's Facebook page. , above is a sweet photo of him and Lei Lin, with both of them displaying a white snowflake paper-cut in their hands.
Jubal squinted his eyes slightly and leaned closer to the screen, carefully reading the content on this Facebook page, "Beau Parsons of Harrisville, West Virginia. It says they just got engaged?"
"Who is interested? Take a trip? Maybe we can get some information from him." Jack suggested.
Hannah hugged Jiejie and volunteered, "Let's go."
West Virginia is in southern Pennsylvania, and the two of them rushed back that night. By this time, Jack had already A grill was set up outside the command vehicle, and steaming beef was being fried on the pan.
Pennsylvania and West Virginia both have their own gourmet dishes, the former is a Philly cheese and beef sandwich, the latter is a pepperoni roll.
There’s nothing much to say about the Philly Cheese Beef Sandwich. As you can tell from the name, it’s beef sandwiched between bread, but it’s not a whole piece of beef, but minced beef with onions and melted cheese. It’s a calorie bomb.
Pepperoni rolls are a little more complicated and look a bit like a croissant with slices of sausage inside.
Pepperoni, also called Italian salami, is a popular sausage flavor in the United States, marinated with chili powder, garlic, pepper and wine.
Compared with other types of sausages, Italian salami has a somewhat unique appearance, with an extra layer of white mold on the surface produced by natural fermentation and air-drying.
What to do if the team’s morale is low? Naturally, the solution is to use a delicious meal. There is an oven and a refrigerator in the car. A grill and several folding tables and chairs are placed outside the car, and a small bonfire is lit. A simple picnic camp is all you need.
Smelling the fragrant barbecue and bread, everyone couldn't help but smile on their faces. Hannah, who was already hungry from traveling back and forth, suddenly had her eyes shining brightly. If not for everyone present, she might not have pounced on Jack right away. .
After enjoying the delicacies, everyone sat lazily on the couches and didn't want to move. Probably the blood had gone to the stomach to help digestion, and even the brain seemed to have slowed down a lot.
Jack threw two cans of beer to Hannah and Jie Jie, "Tell me what you learned. In addition to what you said on the phone before, Ronnie's mother may currently live in Ravenswood. "Except, is there anything else?"
Jiejie took out an evidence bag from her pocket, which contained the white snowflake paper-cut in the previous photo.
"Beau Parsons is also a disabled person. At the age of 16, he suffered a traumatic stroke due to a concussion during a football game. He now works in his father's musical instrument store.
He and Lei Lin met at a treatment camp, which was an 'equine therapy' camp for brain-injured patients. They had only known each other for less than three months. All they knew was that Lei Lin had lost her parents after a car accident and had been living in various places. Sanatoriums come and go.
Lei Lin made this for him before they got engaged. Poor man, the only thing that accompanies him now is music. ”
“What about Ronnie? Jubal continued, "Does he know Ronnie?" "
A strange expression appeared on Jie Jie's face, hesitating and a little strange, "He said that when he and Lei Lin went to Wal-Mart to buy daily necessities, they met Ronnie.
Ronnie took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Lei Lin and said that they had known each other since they were children. The next day, Lei Lin disappeared and left a message saying that he was going to give birth to a child for Ronnie. ”
