Chapter 781 Heinous Crime
The kitchen is very large, with a transparent structure from front to back, and there is a door on the other side that leads directly to the direction of the chapel. Looking at the mess in front of him, Jack knew They were probably late.
"There should be no one in the church." A CMPD officer reported.
After confirming safety, Aubrey and Hannah, who were guarding the back and side doors, also led the team into the church. There were many large and small rooms in the church. The police officers were still checking one by one, but if anyone You should have heard the noise a long time ago.
“We found the Subaru that Ronnie had snatched previously in the parking lot at the back, but no other vehicles were found in the parking lot, including Pastor Jennings’ car, who was known to the police. ” Aubrey reported.
"The bedroom upstairs has also been checked. There is no one there and there is no sign that it has been disturbed. Is there something wrong?" Hannah asked with some confusion.
It is impossible to make a mistake. There are two vague fingerprints on the cooking table, as well as some other traces, which all indicate that someone was pressed on it and performed some indescribable things.
It’s just that this is somewhat inconsistent with Ronnie’s crime habits. The traces left at the scene of the first two cases showed obvious ritualized behavior. Could there be other cases that have been mixed in? Is this all just a coincidence?
Just when Jack was puzzled, a thumping sound suddenly came from the corridor on the other side of the kitchen. Everyone followed the sound to the corridor and found that the sound came from an inconspicuous small door on one side of the corridor. What came out later seemed to be a storage room.
Jack pulled out the gun from his waist and stood against the wall, putting his hand on the door handle. At the same time, Clay stood opposite him in a tacit understanding, and Aubrey stood beside him.
"Uh! Uh!"
The door of the storage room was suddenly opened, and inside a tied-up, gray-haired old white man saw the FBI and police holding guns against him, and his struggle became more intense.
"Pastor Jennings?" Jack quickly put away the gun, helped the old man out, and tore off the tape on his mouth.
"Emma, cough. Emma, they took my granddaughter and my car."
Jack helped the priest, who was covered in flour and ketchup, to the corridor On the bench next to him, he let Aubrey continue to hold his shoulders, squatting in front of him, and opened the photo of Ronnie and Raylene on his mobile phone.
"You are safe. Don't be impatient. Speak slowly. Did these two people do it? What were your granddaughter Emma wearing at the time?"
The old pastor had a wound on his forehead caused by a violent blow. He was so excited that The freshly coagulated blood flowed down his face again, but it wasn't just his forehead that was bleeding. Jack's eyes swept across his waist and crotch, and he had some bad associations in his mind.
“Yes, that’s them, Emma is wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and a sports coat, a dark green sports jacket with a hood, and gray sports shorts”< br>
The old pastor said with a cry in his voice, "They also took away my gun, my gun, a revolver. I'm sorry, I know. I shouldn't"
Jack stood up and motioned for everyone not to crowd around, then put his arm around Jiejie's shoulders and walked aside and whispered, "Have 911 notify the emergency personnel to come quickly, and tell them to bring a rape evidence kit."
"Walter." Jiejie's eyes widened in surprise, and she almost cursed without maintaining her usual ladylike image.
Hannah and Clay behind her looked at the old pastor sitting on the bench crying in surprise, and looked away unbearably.
Yes, Jack did find signs of violence on the kitchen counter just now when someone was pressed on it, but the victim seemed not to be the old pastor’s granddaughter Emma, but Pastor Jennings himself. .
Everyone's views were greatly shocked for a moment, and they were speechless. Although the joke about the priest and the little boy is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Europe and the United States, seeing such a subversive and devilish sight in reality The scene still makes people find it difficult to accept. What kind of madman would do this to an old priest in his sixties or seventies. At this time, Aubrey, who had been holding Pastor Jennings' shoulders to comfort him, also noticed something was wrong, because the old pastor's hand was holding on to the waistband of his trousers, and blood had soaked half of the trousers' legs.
"He kept asking about cash, asking if there was any cash in the church, and I only found less than $10. I said I could take them to get the cash. I also told him that God would forgive people, but it pissed him off.
Emma keeps telling me that I can’t save everyone, but I think I have to try. I must. Must”
The old pastor burst into tears as he spoke, Aubrey I could only hug his shoulders tightly, press my forehead against his, and keep whispering comfort.
"You will be fine, you know? We will bring Emma back, and there will always be kind people by your side, believe me"

"This bastard has no limits!" Aubrey, who has always been good-tempered, packed up his equipment and slammed the rear door, trying hard not to curse more outside the church.
The United States is a country with a strong religious atmosphere. Even if no one here is a devout believer, they will have a certain degree of respect for the clergy. Even Jack also has the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and caring for the young. I sympathize with Pastor Jennings on his misfortune.
Clay was also furious, "Although I know it's inappropriate to say this in my current capacity, if I catch this bastard, I will definitely break his neck with my own hands."< br>
“There’s nothing inappropriate, I think so too.” Hannah said angrily as well.
"Before we caught him and Lei Lin, such words were meaningless." Jack said coldly. It's not that he has seen too many perverts and has become numb. Now he is the one leading the team. There were many more things to consider than before. Everyone could get excited, but he couldn't.
Jiejie has really seen a lot of perverts in the BAU, and she is the fastest among everyone to withdraw from her emotions. "So far, our analysis is basically correct. The reason why Ronnie chose to kidnap Emma this time is simply I was just alerted by the passing police car.”
The shootout not long ago attracted most of the police forces around Charlotte for reinforcements. Everyone has just confirmed that there was indeed a police car with siren on at that time. Passing by the church.
"Is it possible that Ronnie is hiding nearby, or finding a no-man's place to violently attack Emma?" Aubrey said and looked around, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the other party at a glance.
Jack frowned and thought, "Who knows, but we know there are only two ways he can go now, go back along Route 77 to Marietta, or head to New Jersey.
I Bet he will go back the same way. He doesn't know our existence, but he must know that the police are following him, otherwise he will not be scared away by the police car. Ronnie is crazy but also very smart. He knows what he is doing? "< br>
"I immediately contacted the state police and focused on the gas stations along the way." Jiejie understood and immediately made a call.
“There is a question that I have not thought about.” Clay asked humbly, “I can understand what you said about Ronnie using that behavior to gain a sense of power to make up for the fact that he had witnessed his mother engaged in the flesh business. feeling powerless and venting his anger, but why should he Did that to Pastor Jennings and didn't kill him afterwards?"
"Assuming that the female victim represents his mother, then the pastor represents a man who has hurt him. Ronnie not only violently assaulted him, but also gave him a Knife, even worried that he would die due to excessive bleeding, did a simple hemostasis, because he thought castration would make the priest feel more uncomfortable than death.
Think about it, since Ronnie's mother didn't mind her own. If my son witnessed that kind of thing with his own eyes, would there be some customers? People have done some unacceptable things to Ronnie."
Aubrey's talk attracted everyone's attention, and he shrugged helplessly, "You are. Didn’t you forget that I also have a degree in psychology?”
"No, I'm just curious about your association ability in certain aspects." Clay showed a disgusted expression.
"You don't know that I worked on Wall Street? I've seen some perverts." Aubrey was interrupted by Hannah raising her hand before she could finish her words, "That's enough, we all understand you, really. ”
