Chapter 1123 There is a home away from home
“So there is another question.” Jack pointed to the corpses on the ground, “Where did all the blood on them go?”
The whole body of an adult The total blood volume accounts for about 7%-8% of the body weight, which is about 5-6 liters.
Although the blood stains left by the two victims at the murder scene were obvious arterial splatters, they were far from enough in terms of quantity.
“Oblique sacrifices usually require the use of a large amount of blood, which is called a blood sacrifice. The posture of the first deceased has religious connotations, and the cigars and beer in the mouth of the second deceased can also be regarded as sacrifices. .”
Jack said and looked at Lopez, "Can you help investigate the local religious groups involved in black magic and witchcraft, and ask if there are any similar sacrifices.
The murderer may have used animal sacrifices at the beginning. For example, Voodoo has a tradition of using bull heads, but living people and blood are usually advanced behaviors."
Lopez nodded, "I don't know much about this kind of situation in Tijuana. , but I know it should Who should I go to? Give me one night, and I should have the results tomorrow."
At this time, Jubal also thought of another clue, "Did Hannah find any oil leaking tire marks at the scene? "
"Yes." Hannah's answer came from outside the video screen, "We arrived earlier this time, and the biodiesel has not completely evaporated. I have taken samples and will send them back later. Domestic laboratory.”
European countries that pay attention to so-called environmental protection and carbon emissions are the main consumers of biodiesel. Among South American countries, only Brazil, which is rich in soybeans, is promoting this expensive environmentally friendly fuel.
Of course, a large Eastern country that uses kitchen waste oil, also known as gutter oil, to process biodiesel is an alternative.
The poverty-stricken population in Mexico accounts for more than 40% of the total population. The problem of food is obviously far greater than the problem of environmental protection. The murderer can afford the more expensive biodiesel, but he can't even repair the leaking fuel tank or oil pipe. This is This is a rather contradictory question.
Jack used his flashlight to follow the tire tracks around the body and found a puddle of oil more than 20 meters away. It seemed that the murderer had been using the same car from beginning to end.
Thinking about the war-damaged pickup trucks and cars running on the streets of Mexico, he sighed with regret.
If he is in China, he can ask the CSI laboratory to analyze the tire marks, maybe he can find out the vehicle model, and then combine the biodiesel clues to report to the local police. Even in big cities like Los Angeles or New York, it only takes two or three days. There can be results.
Unfortunately, we are in Mexico right now, and technical detection methods are almost impossible to hope for. But since the murderer may be a serial killer, BAU's behavioral analysis theory may come in handy.

It was already dark by the time everyone returned to the hotel. Alice was still busy in front of the computer, and Aubrey was making coffee in front of the bar.
As soon as Jubal entered the door, he asked, "Is there any connection between the two victims?"
"Not yet." Alice took the coffee from Aubrey, brought it to her nose and smelled it, showed a satisfied smile, and then got down to business.
"The two had almost nothing in common except that they were both Americans. Lee Kern was an ordinary high school senior in San Diego and Robert Mueller came from a small town in Arizona.
He used to be an engineer at BTL Petroleum Company in Mexico, but left his job 9 months ago .
But what’s strange is that although Miller’s wife and two children live in Arizona, he has been traveling back and forth between the two countries for most of the year.”
“ Looking for a job, or addicted to gambling?" Jack thought about the parking lot below the dog racing track where Robert Miller was killed. Aubrey looked at Jack with a half-smile, "Probably not. Although Robert Miller lost his job, some of the stocks and businesses he invested in brought him good returns.
Betting on greyhound racing seems to be his only interest, and the amount of each bet is not large. "
Feeling that this guy's expression was quite malicious, Jack asked strangely, "So? "
"So we tracked some of his bills and discovered that some of them were not sent to his residence in the United States, but to Navado, a small town outside Tijuana. "
Aubrey handed the tablet in his hand to Jack. On it was a photo of a family of three. The husband in it was still Robert Miller, while his wife in her early twenties and their son who was only five or six years old were Typical Latino appearance
"This guy has a family in the United States and a family in Mexico?" Jack was stunned, and then glared at this guy fiercely, finally understanding why he had a teasing expression on his face.
"Scumbag, a role model for all men, the object of contempt, unforgivable." Before someone finished his thoughts, a car key flew towards him.
Jiejie took Hannah's arm with disdain and said, "Go and drive, we are going to visit this bigamist's wife in Mexico now."
——
"It's a very nice town. The surrounding environment doesn't look any worse than at home." Clay, who was called along by Jack, sat in the passenger seat and observed the situation outside the car.
"It's like the quiet countryside in China." Jack nodded in agreement, "Since we left the city limits of Tijuana, we haven't heard gunshots and sirens for a while."
Always on Hannah, who was playing with the tablet in the back seat, showed off Her screen said, "This is a wealthy area on the outskirts of Tijuana. It is said on the Internet that many wealthy Americans will buy properties here to support their lovers."
"What a wicked rich person." People chimed in casually, without any sense of being worth billions.
The real estate here looks similar to that in the United States. It is a two-story building with a wooden structure and a small garden behind the front lawn. The four people did not rush to knock on the door, but walked around cautiously. The house went around in a circle.
"The surrounding area is safe, nothing unusual." Clay was still carrying the Noveske N4 assault rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest with FBI letters printed on it. The other three people also had similar equipment.
Although Tijuana is not like Juarez, where the entire city becomes a battlefield at night, they have passed through several dangerous neighborhoods with tense atmosphere along the way.
And considering that the person he is about to face is likely to be a hysterical Mexican housewife who is highly suspected of murder, it does not seem to be an excessive move to just come to the door with a long gun.
The four of them stood on opposite sides of the door. Jack reached out and knocked on the door, and soon there was a sound of footsteps.
The young Latina woman appeared in the open doorway with her young son. The smile on her face disappeared instantly after seeing the four armed men, and turned into a look of horror.
