After getting off the plane, Gideon and Prentiss went to the place where the bodies were found while the others went to the local police station.
"Reid will stay behind to do the profiling. Jones and …" Hotch assigned tasks to his team members.
Bruce suddenly said, "Can I go to Wilson's place?"
Hotch paused. "Then Morgan and JJ will visit the families of the three victims. Jones and I will go to Lily Wilson's relatives."
"Thank you," Bruce said. At this moment, he was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, heading to the hotel where Wilson and her husband were staying.
"Knowing them will make it easier for us to get the information we want, but you're also easily influenced. I hope you won't be like that. Every bit of useful information will increase the chances of the girl being rescued." Hotch drove.
"I won't." Bruce looked at Hotch for a while and then looked out of the car window. It was a sunny day, and he could see the clear blue sky. "I know there are many serial killers in this world, and the work I'm doing now is related to them. But it's hard to believe that some of these things will happen to people close to you." Bruce shook his head. "Even standing at the scene of the crime, you won't feel like these things are so close to you."
Bruce took a deep breath and looked at Hotch again. "Can you imagine this happening to one of your relatives or friends?"
"We will save the girl." Hotch looked at the road ahead, his expression as serious as usual. Only his slightly tightened grip on the steering wheel showed that he wasn't as emotionless as he appeared to be.
Bruce knocked on the door of the hotel room.
"Oh, Bruce, it's so good to see you. Surely you won't believe what we've encountered?" Before Bruce could speak, he saw Mrs. Wilson, who had opened the door, covering her mouth with her hand and looking at him with tears in her eyes.
Bruce waved the ID in his hand. "FBI, this is Agent Hotchner. We're here to find out more about Lily's situation. Can we go in? "
The man in front of Mrs. Wilson was dressed in a suit and looked extraordinarily handsome. The work pass on his left chest and the FBI ID he showed showed a familiar name, but this person felt a little unfamiliar to her.
Mr. Wilson helped Mrs. Wilson, who stood motionless in front of the door. "Of course, Bruce and this agent, please come in."
They sat on the sofa. Bruce took out a few photos and placed them on the table. He pursed his lips and spoke first. "Let me first explain the seriousness of this matter. The police found the bodies of these girls three days, and based on some evidence, we believe that Lily's disappearance are related."
"Oh, my god." Mrs. Wilson slumped on the sofa.
"Now, we need to review the circumstances of Lily's disappearance yesterday. Think carefully and tell us every detail. Even the most insignificant detail may be the key to finding Lily."
"Okay, Bruce. You know, today is Lily's …" Mrs. Wilson was crying. It was Mr. Wilson who spoke. The originally optimistic and amiable man seemed to have aged a lot.
"Birthday, I know." Bruce clenched the folder in his hand.
"There are no entertainment facilities in town, and Lily has to go to school. She said she wanted to play at the amusement park, so we took her here on the weekend …"
.....
Mr. Wilson walked them to the door. "You'll save Lily, won't you, Bruce?"
Bruce avoided Mr. Wilson's pleading gaze. "I'll try my best."
"Bruce." Mrs. Wilson, who was originally in the room, ran out and held his hand. She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Please save Lily. Please, you know how much she likes you."
“I
will
do
anything
that
i
I promise. "Bruce held her hand.
After leaving the hotel, Hotch received a call. "We found a new body. We're going to the scene now."
The two arrived at the scene soon. It was a park that someone accidentally found while fishing. At this time, there was a cordon around the area. The body that was fished out of the water was placed on the shore.
Bruce put on his gloves and looked carefully. "It's a little strange." Unlike the original three victims, whose bodies had already turned yellow, there were many details on this body, probably due to the time of discovery. It was also a little girl around ten years old.
"The body is well-preserved," Hotch observed. Hotch was also observing the scene. "The arms are spread wide open. The murderer must be trying to express something through this."
"Exquisite clothes. Even the makeup is meticulously done." Bruce leaned over and looked at the traces of makeup on the cheeks and eyebrows. Finally, his gaze stopped at the eyes. "The eyes are more than 80% vitreous fluid. It will become cloudy within a few hours after death, but her eyes are still very clear." Very beautiful sky-blue eyes, looking at you with fear. At that moment, you would even think that she was still alive.
"When was her time of death?" Hotch asked the forensic doctor at the scene.
"We can only determine that it was more than twenty-four hours ago. The rest needs to be examined. This body's behavior is completely different from normal."
"The Unsub used many methods to make her look like she was still alive after death." Bruce was a little confused. "Then why did he kill them and then abandon the carefully made bodies?"
"He didn't get what he wanted," Hotch replied.
For a while, there was no progress in the case. Reid was doing a geographical profiling based on the location of the bodies and some clues. Garcia was looking for people with medical backgrounds in the area, but the scope was still too big. They had to narrow it down.
However, the clues were too weak. Bruce deeply hoped that they wouldn't find new clues from a newly discovered familiar body. At this time, he was sitting in the police station, looking at the photos of the victims and the relevant clues written on the whiteboard. It was rare for him to feel anxious. Next to him, Reid was writing and drawing on the whiteboard and the map with an oil pen.
JJ walked over. "The autopsy results of the newly discovered victims."
Bruce took it and skimmed through the chemical terms that he didn't understand. He looked at the final conclusion: The cause of death was excessive blood loss. The high levels of various chemical substances in the victim's body were to cause the body to die quickly and maintain the state of the body when it died.
