Chapter 331 Unharmonious Cooperation

"A gang member? A warrant for joining the gang?" Unexpectedly, Hank Boyt was the first to speak.

Rhett asked curiously, "Is the gang recruitment ceremony in Chicago so bloody and violent?"

Old police detective Alvin Olinsky pursed his lips, seeming to sneer at the local gang.

"I've seen people beheading people, beating people into sieves, and even cutting off regeneration devices and stuffing them into their mouths, but there is no one that is so violent and does not distinguish between race and gender. Maybe it is a new gang."

"I contacted the family members of the four victims, as well as the family whose house was broken into before. They were very willing to come and assist us in the investigation, but the number of people was a bit large, and I needed someone to assist." Jiejie said.

"There were no fingerprints left at the scene, indicating that they were wearing gloves when they committed the crime, but they did not use safety tools when they raped two women. Isn't this a bit contradictory?" Emily was a little confused.

"Perhaps they have only committed misdemeanors before and have not left any DNA records, or they are well aware of how busy our Chicago police are. It will be three months or even half a year before our forensic laboratory tests these DNA samples. It’s over.”

Hank Boyt's answer made everyone in the BAU look at each other. Although they all knew that the security in Chicago was very bad, it was indeed outrageous that a DNA test would take half a year.

"We can ask the FBI crime laboratory to assist in DNA testing." Rossi sighed secretly, and then put forward his opinion.

"What we have to think about is how these suspects can hide in the neighborhood without being detected. They are obviously familiar with everything around them and act in an extremely public manner, but everything is very contradictory."

"They easily evaded the police patrolling at night and knew the location of nearby surveillance cameras. Although there were not many new residents in the apartment that was attacked, it was not completely deserted, but they were not noticed at all."

While Rossi was talking, Red called up the surrounding map from the screen and marked all the relevant crime locations one by one.

"The area around the incident is a newly built high-end residential area. It is still some distance away from the South District, where security is out of control. The surrounding area is also filled with traditional working-class people. Most of them were born here and work and live nearby."

"Are you saying that the suspect might be a local? Because of the economic recession, he developed this kind of hatred against the rich?" Jack said following Red's reasoning.

"I don't know, but I agree with Rossi, it's something to consider, no matter what is causing the hatred and anger, but this level of violent crime, this is a small anti-social group of at least three people, is How is it hidden in it?”

Emily spoke, and her words caused everyone in the intelligence team to fall silent for a moment.

Although the motive of the crime can be explained by group psychology, and the abnormal violence caused by the evil of the group, this whole case makes people feel extremely awkward, with a sense of awkwardness like Zhang Fei's embroidery.

If Jack had to describe this feeling, it would be like opening the door when he returned home and seeing Hannah dressed in Hanfu, sitting in the living room gentle and graceful, playing Dongfeng Po on the pipa.

If Jack hadn't lived in this country for so many years and had been a patrolman, he might not have experienced this feeling like most people in Seris.

Because in this country, the true degree of security in a region is not measured as a whole, but by points or small areas.

Take the security in the Chicago area as an example. Its overall urban security ranks last in the United States, but the security in many communities and surrounding satellite towns is incredibly good.

For example, Naperville in the West End was once rated as "the safest city in the United States", and Joliet in the southwestern suburbs ranked eighth in the ranking of the safest cities in the United States.

Another example is the high-end community where the crime occurred. Jack didn't even see a homeless tent here.

This does not mean that vicious crimes will not occur in wealthy areas, but this kind of continuous smashing and even escalation of extremely violent crimes may bring disaster.

Because once such cases occur continuously and cannot be solved quickly, and there are even rumors that public security in the surrounding areas may deteriorate sharply, wealthy people will quickly leave the community, and the entire community may decline irreparably.

This may be the reason why the Chicago police invited the BAU here as soon as the crime escalated. They could not bear the anger from the capitalists who invested in this area.

Hotchner nodded and said to Garcia who was connected remotely via video.

"Garcia, search the records in the surrounding area, including this year and last year, for people who were foreclosed on, bankrupted due to being laid off, or applied for unemployment benefits, and select the age filter to be between 25 and 45 years old."

He thought for a while and then continued, "Also, pay attention to monitoring local social networks to see if anyone is organizing similar attacks through the dark web or social software."

"No problem, I've learned a few new tricks recently. As long as they leave any clues, I will find them out."

Garcia clapped his fingers with "murderous" intent, and an unexpected click occurred. After everyone heard a scream, the video was disconnected.

Jack rolled his eyes helplessly, this Garcia could always bring about some unexpected situations.

Hotchner then said to Hank Boyt on the side, "We need your assistance. You know the local situation best. We need more intelligence and information."

"The current intelligence is not enough for us to make a sufficiently accurate psychological profile. The sense of separation before and after several cases is too strong. Either we have missed something, or there is something else we don't know."

Hank Boyt was unhappy with the feeling of being assigned to work by the FBI. After thinking about it, he gave orders in his own way.

"We don't have time to sit here and wait for these guys to continue committing crimes. Alvin, Antonio, go find your street informants and ask if any strange faces or new small gangs have appeared recently."

"The gang wars on the South Side are getting more and more chaotic now, and maybe this is a way for a new gang to come on the scene."

"Burgess, go say hello to your patrol friends. In the past few days, night patrols will be strengthened nearby, especially around the community where the crime occurred."

"I'm going to talk to some old friends. Erin, you stay and help the FBI." After saying that, Hank Boyt walked away with a somewhat bowed step.

Hotchner opened his mouth, but didn't spit out even a single word.

"Sorry, he is a practical person." Erin Lindsay forced a smile to everyone in BAU.
