[Zhongyingmei] That snake

Soon, they came to the school where Mark was.

Although both of them were dressed in formal attire and looked meticulous, but before they took out their documents, the guard kept looking at them suspiciously and vigilantly.

"FBI." Hotch took out his ID. "We want to know something from the students at your school."

The guard came up and looked at the documents carefully. His expression looked like he even wanted to turn on the computer to check if there were any information about these two people on the official FBI website.

Fortunately, he didn't do this, but he still asked: "There is no case in our school, is there anything you need to ask?"

"The relatives of several students were killed recently, and we need to know something from them." Oliver replied politely, and then approached the guard.

The doorman looked up, and the gentle blond man unconsciously agreed to their request, and even his body couldn't help but took out the key and opened the door for them.

This private aristocratic school is a boarding school, and now is the time for the students to go to class.So instead of going directly to the class to disturb the teacher's lecture. Oliver and Hotc chose to go to the principal's office first to explain the situation.

The principal, who looked about 60 years old, took off his metal glasses from the bridge of his nose when he saw two agents knocking on the door and entering.He got up and shook hands politely with the two detectives.

"I'm FBI Agent Aaron Hotchner, and this is Agent Oliver Williams. You should already know that the guardians of three students in your school have been killed recently."

The principal is a very gentle and polite middle-aged man. He stood up straight and said regretfully: "Yes, yes, I know. And the guardians of these children are their only relatives. If it weren't for them The family left them a large inheritance, and I don't know how bad life will be for these pampered children in the future.

What a pity that these three children were very good friends, but their only relatives died one after another within a short period of time.As far as I know, these three children are not witnesses to the case, what do you need to ask them? "

"I want to talk to classmate Mark. His uncle Paul is the first victim of this case."

"What do you mean?" The principal asked suspiciously, "What is the first victim?"

Hotch explained: "We suspect that this case is the work of a serial killer. There is a certain intrinsic connection between the killings of relatives of these three children, so they were targeted by the same killer."

"This is true, this is true." The principal sighed intermittently. "Shocking. Do I need to bring Mark here now?"

"It's still class time, right? We can wait until the end of get out of class. You can tell us about the child Mark, how he behaves on weekdays." Oliver asked.

"Will this help in solving the case?" the old headmaster said with trepidation.

"Yes, we belong to the Behavior Analysis Section. By understanding the characteristics of the victim, we can reverse profile the possible motives and behavior patterns of the unsub."

"Okay, okay?" The principal walked back to his desk slowly, took out his mobile phone after sitting down, notified the teacher on duty, and then said slowly: "Mark's grades have always been very good, but he is a little withdrawn. , doesn’t like to make friends very much. His friends are only four or five. Of course, including Chris and Black.”

Chris and Black are the sons of the other two victims.

"Mark is very interested in biology, especially in genetics. But when it comes to him, he often takes time off to go home these few weeks. Thinking of his parents and the only remaining uncle passing away one after another, most of the teachers have approved him. False note, but in my opinion, too many absenteeism is not a good thing, I hope he can cheer up as soon as possible and return to study."

withdrawn? Oliver thought silently.Judging from the wounds on the corpse, it was absolutely impossible for such wounds to be opened by outside hands.

When he was in the anatomy class, Oliver was 12 serious.He believed in his own eyes and experience, that kind of wound was definitely broken from the inside out.It's like a butterfly wrapped in a chrysalis struggling to break away from the chrysalis that prevents it from turning into a butterfly.It's just that now, the butterfly has been replaced with a heart, and the chrysalis has been replaced with human skin.

But from a scientific point of view, it is impossible for the heart to jump out by itself, and no parasite can have enough strength to push the heart out of the body.This led Oliver to speculate that Unsub is a mutant.

If the assumption is true, then Mark already knew his identity as a mutant, so he would go alone and not like to contact people.Although the situation of mutants is much better now than it was in the last century, there are still many people who make no secret of their fear and loathing of mutants.

Mark is reluctant to reveal his identity.

The get out of class bell rang soon.Mark, who was informed by the teacher, politely knocked on the door and walked into the office.

A tall, thin, pale boy walked in, and he kept his head down until he reached the principal's desk.

"Mark, these two are Federal Agents Mr. Hotchner and Mr. Williams." The old headmaster walked up to Mark and patted him on the back. "They need your cooperation to learn something about your uncle Paul."

"I know it might be difficult." After all, not everyone can bear the pain of losing three relatives at once. Hotch stared into the boy's eyes and said seriously, "However, we hope that the unsub who killed your uncle can be arrested as soon as possible."

The boy looked up, then quickly lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

His eyes are light gray, and there is nothing in them that shows cowardice or inferiority. On the contrary, the light gray eyeballs appear unusually indifferent.

Although it was just a glance, the two profilers had already drawn some inferences in their hearts.This child may not be quite what they imagined.

"Mr. Principal, we want to have a private conversation with classmate Mark." Hotch asked the principal for his opinion.

"Oh, no problem, you can use my office." The principal said repeatedly and walked out of the office.

"Sit down, Mark," Hotch pointed to a row of couches in the office.

"Okay," Mark said indifferently. He didn't choose the wide couch, but sat on the single sofa on one side. It was obvious that he didn't want to have too much contact with the two agents.

Hotch sat on the side of the sofa closest to him, his elbows resting on the arm of the sofa.And Oliver didn't sit down, he stood on the other side of Mark's sofa.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Were there any unusual behaviors in the period before your uncle was killed?" Hotch asked.

"Anomaly, which one do you mean? He's always been an anomaly since my parents died in a car accident." Mark squeezed his fingers.He is a rare red-haired man with pale complexion. Several red marks appeared on his fingers very quickly, but he didn't seem to want to stop.

Oliver tilted his head to watch the movement of his hands, "Why do you say that? Is your uncle very sad?"

There was a pause in the movement of Mark's hand, and his fingers were crossed together.

He snorted, "Sad, yes, he cried at the funeral. But he wasn't sad at all. He was so happy, my father's will said that if after he died, his If the younger brother is still alive, then part of the property will be left to him."

"Although it was only a very small part of my father's property. However, he quit his job as soon as he got the money."

Hotch found a different description from the previous information, "You mean your uncle resigned on his own initiative?"

Mark nodded, "After getting the money, it seemed like a ghost was chasing him. He squandered the money to buy cars, houses, and luxury items. Just like he had never seen money, the money was quickly wiped out. He spent it all."

"He came to you for help." Oliver asked.

If this uncle hadn't asked Mark for help, seeing Mark's scornful look, he probably wouldn't have paid too much attention to his uncle after his father's death.

"Yes, he did." Mark licked his lips, "but I said no."

"Why? He's your uncle, isn't he?"

"So what? It's just a close blood relationship. I don't owe him anything, and my father doesn't owe him anything. But he has done my father enough. How can he get involved with me?" Father's inheritance?"

"He killed your father?" A dark light flashed in Hotch's eyes.

Mark's lips moved, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth, "My father helped him arrange a position in the company, but a person like him who is not motivated, what achievements can he make? It ruined my father's reputation in vain."

His tone was exceptionally disdainful, even angry.The intertwined fingers exerted force, and the joints turned white.

After all, Mark is only a middle school student, and he is still a loner, rarely communicating with others.This made it even more doomed that he was not good at hiding his emotions.

From his slightly trembling shoulders, it can be seen that there must be something hidden in this, otherwise it is just such a reason, how could it make him so angry.

"Didn't your uncle come to you again after you rejected him?" Hotch and Oliver looked at each other and exchanged the information they had extracted in their eyes, and he continued to ask without changing his face.

After hearing this question, Mark's body, which was leaning slightly forward, leaned back, and the whole person sank into the wide sofa.But he still lowered his head, his hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, and the long and thick red hair on his forehead even exceeded the brow bone, making it difficult to see the emotion in his eyes clearly.

"He might want to come, but before that, he was killed by that kind serial killer, wasn't he?" He sarcastically emphasized the word "kindly".
