Chapter 381 Mystery on the Beach (2)

Several people's mobile phones rang at the same time, and then a video call came to Jack's mobile phone. He handed the phone to Red, who fiddled with it for a while and transferred the video to the screen in the conference room.

"Dang Dang Dang, guys." A happy Garcia appeared on the screen.

"I have found out the identities of several deceased people and sent them to your mobile phones." As she waved her hand, the information about the deceased was refreshed on the other half of the screen. Basic information such as name, age, etc. were marked under each person's photo. .

"None of these three people are locals. They went to Praiaderi Town on official business."

Everyone found a seat and sat down, and then began to compare the basic information of the four deceased people. After a while, Emily was the first to give up.

"Damn it, they have different ages, different races, and no similar social backgrounds. They don't even have any similar physical features."

Jack also has a big head. "He seems to be a not picky eater, which is not good for profiling."

Rhett hesitated for a while, and then he said hesitantly, "Sean Taylor, the third deceased, the one who was not wrapped in plastic film, had an unmarried cohabiting partner who had the same surname.

Maybe this has any special meaning? In contrast, the murderer seemed to have more respect for the other two deceased. "

Rossi looked down at his phone and shook his head, "The fourth deceased just discovered, Joseph Klaus, was also castrated after death and was not wrapped in plastic film. He was 42 years old and had a wife."

Rhett also felt that the basis for his judgment was not sufficient, so he just retorted weakly, "That doesn't necessarily rule out the possibility of homosexuality."

Young police chief Quinn Parker said, "Joseph Krause's wife just arrived at the police station, and other relatives are also on their way by plane."

Hotchner put away his cell phone and stood up, making arrangements, "I'll talk to Mrs. Claus, Jiejie will contact the other families of the deceased to come and talk, Rosie and Jack will go to the latest abandoned body site to have a look.

Emily helped Red and asked the police stations around other beaches near the South Bay if there had been any abnormalities recently, and delineated key areas. If necessary, they could expand to the entire California region. "

Sheriff Parker widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Do you know how long the coastline of California is?"

"840 miles, I will demarcate the area as soon as possible." Rhett answered very quickly, which made the former's face freeze. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was answering seriously or making nonsense.

The other people in BAU had different expressions. Rossi pursed his lips, looking proud to be our little encyclopedia.

Jie Jie and Emily made faces at each other. Jack tried very hard not to laugh out loud, so as not to appear too rude. Only Hotchner still had the same poker face.

——

On the way to the scene, Jack drove as usual, and Rosie sat in the passenger seat. "I heard you did a good job in New York?"

"What specific thing are you referring to?" Jack smiled at him.

The old man was stunned for a moment, "What else did you do?"

Jack briefly described the nursing home case that the old Hunter couple asked him for help. Rosie was silent for a long time before letting out a depressed sigh.

"Shit, this country never used to be like this."

Jack shrugged and said nothing.

In his previous life, in this country now, if young people complained about the current situation, they would usually hear similar words from older people.

In the country on the other side of the Pacific, the same young people complain about the current situation, and there will always be older people comforting them by saying that things are good now, but you don’t know how they used to be.

As for the present world, Jack can only say that although it is late, it is coming soon.

"Is there anything I can do?" Rossi held back his words for a long time.

"Let's take a look at the progress on the IRS side first. Joe Mason's problem has been temporarily solved. Although he lost a lot of property, Marla Grayson finally relented under the pressure of the two lawyers.

Before Joe Mason's villa is redeemed, he will go back to Los Angeles with the old Hunters to stay for a while and recuperate. I heard that he received a lot of sedatives there. Although there was no major problem with his body, the whole The condition of the person is much worse. "

It was Jack who suggested that Joe Mason come to Los Angeles to recuperate. He estimated that it would be some time before the plot of "Red Flame Battlefield" begins.

In the original play, Joe Mason chose to die calmly when the protagonist group was surrounded. The main reason for attracting attention from others was that he had advanced liver cancer at the time and had been tortured by the disease for a long time.

Jack planned to secretly use his skills to remove the root cause of the old guy's disease before he was diagnosed. Although he didn't want to join in the destruction of the world with those awesome Sunset Red agents,

But it's close, there's nothing wrong with learning some secret agent skills and understanding the other side of the world. If someone wants to detonate a nuclear bomb or something, he can know where to hide in advance, right?

"In any case, I would recommend Professor Cahill to give you full marks for group psychology. The way you helped that couple was very innovative." Rossi said.

Jack said modestly, "It's nothing more than the method of controlling public opinion on the Internet. Now the method of controlling public opinion through Internet trolls is very mature. I just learned from it."

Rossi smiled and shook his head, "I am old but I am still out of touch with contemporary society. Whether it is through traditional media such as newspapers and television, or through computer networks and social software, it is just a way to guide public opinion.

How to grasp the tipping point of public opinion is the key. In my opinion, whether it is the effective influence on the psychological group mentioned in "The Crowd" (a classic of group psychology worth reading) or the psychological group will show extremely high morals This realm,

You did everything very well, well done boy. "

Jack was very happy in his heart. As soon as he returned to Los Angeles, his dear Professor Maureen Cahill praised him very highly, in every sense of the word.

This made Rossi's indifferent verbal praise seem a little bit inferior.

While talking, the two came to Manhattan Beach. Jack drove the car directly to the beach. The local police had set up a blockade and several forensic team members were busy.

Jack easily climbed up the lifeguard tower from the safety ladder. He turned around with a smile and tried to reach out to give Rosie a hand, but the old man slapped him away in an angry manner.

"Another newly rebuilt lifeguard tower." Rossi touched the railing and felt that the paint hadn't even dried completely.

The local government has spent a lot of money to revive tourism.

Not only did they clean up a large amount of garbage from nearby beaches, they also imported a lot of high-quality quartz-rich sea sand from South America and rebuilt nearby lifeguard towers.

The hope is to attract more visitors to the traditional beaches of the West where homeless tents are now increasingly common.

This is probably why the local police asked the BAU directly for help through the LAPD.

After all, attracting investment is a top priority. No matter how good the hardware conditions are, once news of poor public security spreads, tourists would rather come face to face with homeless people than live in the same corner as a serial killer.

"It's quite unscrupulous." Rossi looked down at the small wooden plank road that normally leads to the lifeguard tower. Above it is a long dragged out, which has dried to reddish brown and is mixed with... Blood stains in the sand.

Bloodstains led all the way into the hut. The body of a middle-aged white man with a naked upper body and beach shorts and a typical fat belly lay on the floor.

Jack checked it over. It was a typical abandoned corpse scene. There was no obvious evidence left. There were footprints, but he couldn't see anything special. He didn't know if CSI could analyze it and find something different.

"So now we have four bodies, two wrapped and two not. Why? Why did the murderer treat them differently?" Rossi wondered.

Jack spread his hands, and he didn't understand, "The one inside was shot in the head, castrated after death, and the techniques were clean and neat. These are exactly the same as the first three deceased people. Is it true that as Red said, the murderer followed the instructions? Are the deceased treated differently depending on their sexual orientation?”
