[Zhongyingmei] That snake

Thank you Oliver for being very good at massage acupuncture points with nerve electricity.This prevented the two of them from being overindulgent and having sore backs and legs when they went to the police station to handle the case the next day.

Coria Police Department

The inland town, where only a few hundred people live, has always been peaceful, and the biggest cases the police here used to deal with were just a few thefts.

But now they're dealing with two serial killers who may have injured more than a dozen victims.Although, these two serial killers are lying in the morgue.

"Williams, I didn't expect you to become an FBI." One of the young police officers was Oliver's classmate Landean.

"I didn't expect that you would end up working in the police station." Oliver remembered that Landean was determined to be a sports star back then.

"Dreams are not so easy to come true." Landean shook his head, "We thought that after you went to college, you would be a research scientist, or start your own company. It's not like you to be a fair and serious federal agent. Don't criminals think you are too gentle?"

Oliver was well-known in school for being popular and short-tempered. Although short-tempered, it is easy to suffer campus bullying in American colleges and universities, especially for people like Oliver who don't like sports and don't join clubs.

"Gentle." Oliver raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, my fault." Landean waved his palms in surrender.

But after he took care of a group of bastards who didn't have eyesight to mess with Lily who just went to school, the problem was solved.

"Where's the old Sergeant Williams?" Oliver asked, "Why didn't I see him this time?"

"His daughter is pregnant, and he went home to take care of her. You know, his son-in-law is away working, and Mrs. Williams left early." Landean said, "The police station is not so busy that there is no vacation."

Oliver was very envious of saying this, BAU can only pray for the serial killers to give him a holiday.

Speaking of Sergeant Williams, I have to mention an interesting thing. There are good Williams in Kolia Town, but they are not related by blood.

Oliver also walked under Sheriff Williams for smashing a window in the school for those bastards.

"Is there a forensic report?"

Landean continued to shake his head, "You know, it's rare to see a big case in a small town without hiring a forensic doctor."

"Where's the body? We need to examine it ourselves," Morgan said.

"Well, I'll take you there."

Although there was no forensic doctor, the police station was fully equipped. The only thing left in the morgue was two corpses lying on the operating table.

The inexperienced police officers didn't do anything with the corpse, but fortunately the temperature here was low enough that no suicide occurred.

"We have checked his identity. Matthew and Lambert are father and son and have no family members. After you investigate the case, they should be sent directly to the crematorium." Landean's face turned pale

"You wait for us outside." Oliver said.

Landean withdrew as if on the verge of amnesty.

Rossi approached the body, and he took Lambert's left hand.According to the previous on-site situation, they speculated that this unsub is a left-hander.

Sure enough, Rossi found that there was indeed a pen callus on the first knuckle of his left middle finger.

"We asked the parties about the situation yesterday. The performance of the two unsubs was in line with our test and writing." Hotch said.

"But this time they changed their modus operandi, and instead of choosing a convenience store next to the highway to attack, they entered a small town. They must have encountered some accident." Prentiss said.

"Is their vehicle still there?" Reid asked. "Maybe we can check their car GPS."

Soon they found some clues on the car GPS. Matthew and Lambert stopped on a nearby road for a while.

"****, has anything happened in this area?" Hotch asked.

**Just got off the phone with another town police station, "There was a robbery and homicide case, it was a convenience store on the side of the street, but the police said that in this case the victim was not bled, but the wife who worked with the victim was in the case Missed after it happened. They didn't report it.

The jurisdiction of this case belongs to the Lanco town police, but the place where the case happened is very close to Licoria town.

Oliver understood the geographical situation here, and he explained: "This convenience store is at a Y-shaped fork. One side leads to Kolia Town, and the other side leads to Lanke Town. Because Lanke's transportation is more convenient, the area under their jurisdiction The scope is a little bit bigger."

"Contact the Lanke Town Police, let's go here and take a look."

Lanke Town and Kolia Town are backed by very long mountains, at least this convenience store is also built on the mountainside.

Nearly two weeks had passed since the incident, and the body had already been removed.Only traces of the dead body drawn with white lines on the ground of the crime scene remained.

Ranko Township police officers described the case to the BAU team.

"The victim was shot in the head. But there is no bloodletting you mentioned. The money is indeed lost, and the victim's wife, a pregnant woman, has disappeared and has not been found. Maybe the murderer saw her With a big belly, I didn't kill her if my heart softened."

Too bad Matthew and Lambert wouldn't do such a merciful thing.They killed a whole family of five in one crime, including two three-year-old children and a baby under one year old.

"What areas did you search?" Hotch asked.

"In this mountain range, we followed the footprints left by the pregnant woman and searched all the areas under our responsibility."

"But what about areas that don't belong to you?"

"We don't have jurisdiction, man. We're just a local police department, not like the FBI. All over the country investigating cases."

"Unsub fled to the town of Kolia after this crime. Where is the missing pregnant woman Loya?"

"It's also in the direction of Kolia, but... the footprints are very messy, and the footprints disappeared when we were halfway through the trace."

"Although I also want to solve this case as soon as possible." The policeman scratched his head. "But we have never had a precedent for cooperating with other police departments."

"We will arrange a joint search between the two police stations." Hotch gave an affirmative answer.

————————————————————————————————————————

With this search, some more serious problems emerged.

With the joint efforts of the two polices, Loya's body was quickly found, and their hope that Loya was still alive was shattered at once.

Loya was disemboweled, and the seven-month-old child in her stomach disappeared. She was covered in bloody bite marks, as if she had been attacked by a wild animal.

But the forensic doctor borrowed from Ranko Town made it clear that this could not be the tooth marks of a beast, and the wounds on her body were caused by humans.

And the police found more than one body.After a careful search in the mountains, they found a total of seven bodies.

Some have only bones, but the bite marks on the bones are clearly visible.Others were dry and dehydrated—brown.These corpses are new and old, and the time span is as long as ten years.

Oliver pursed his lips and looked at the morgue at Kolia Police Station, which was packed full for the first time.

It seems that this small town is not as peaceful as they imagined.In the deep mountain, there is a monster lurking, waiting for a fatal blow.

The case was in hand, and the local police were extremely cooperative, almost begging BAU to stay and solve the case.

** Quickly completed the report and handover work to the superior.

"It will take some time to do identity detection." Hotch said, implying that they can only rely on ready-made data for preliminary analysis.

"The victims were all pregnant," Prentiss said, "and they had a long pregnancy cycle, usually around seven to nine months."

"The uterus was dissected. The unsub removed the fetus from the womb, but the fatal wound on the victim was a gash on the main artery," said Reid, who works as a coroner.

"Bite with his teeth. It's imitating the behavior of a wild animal. He sees the victim as the prey and he is the hunter," Oliver said.

That's right, unsub sees himself as a hunter, not a hunter. The difference between the two is whether unsub sees himself as a human being.

A person who has lost his humanity only acts on instinct and desire, the level of cruelty is incalculable.

"He was very strong and knew the terrain. He knew how to ambush his victims."

"We can't determine the location of the crime, but the places where the bodies were found are all concentrated in a forest." Rossi pointed out, "This forest may have special significance for unsub, or this forest may be convenient for him to move around."

"Do you think there are ghosts at work?" Landean said tremblingly.

"What ghost?" Morgan asked.

They will not believe such unscientific existence.But rumors of ghosts often originate from real events, which may become important clues.But what are the facts?They need to be carefully distinguished.

"There was an abandoned house in that forest, and there used to be a woman who was abandoned by her husband. When she was pregnant with a child, her husband left the town and never came back.

I heard from the elders that a woman committed suicide one night. When they went to collect the body, they found that her stomach had been cut to pieces by herself with a knife, and the child in her stomach was gone.

After that, all the women who approached that house will be killed bizarrely, and if they are pregnant women, their children will also be taken away.It must be her resentful ghost.

The house was never visited again after that. "

"Where did the rumors start in the first place?" Rossi asked.

If so, there's a good chance this woman was the first victim.

"School," Landean said uncertainly, "I heard it from my classmates. Think about it, there are always some children who have special psychic abilities."

Oliver rubbed his chin, he felt a sense of familiarity in this story, "Is the house you're talking about the white house covered with vines on the mountain?"

"Yes, it's that building. Do you know this rumor?" Landean was anxious and happy as if he had found a companion.

"Hmm." Oliver pondered for a while, scanned everyone's faces, and said slowly, "This legend is false."

"Why are you so sure?" Landean said angrily.

"That's why I made it up."

Everyone looked at Oliver in surprise.

Morgan's face was full of disbelief, "You were still so funny when you were young."

"No, I can explain the problem." Oliver rubbed his face.

"Tell me in detail." Hotch patted him on the shoulder.

"Well. Here's the thing, I was supposed to be in high school at the time, and my sister, Lily, was supposed to be in elementary school at the time.

A few of their classmates made an appointment and wanted to stay in that remote old house for one night and play a game of courage.

At that time, there were no such haunted rumors, so they were naturally not afraid.But at night, a few children leave the adults and go up the mountain, which is somewhat uneasy.

They didn't tell the parents about it, but fortunately I knew, so I went around the house in advance to check the situation.

There was nothing wrong with the house and no signs of being haunted, but I found a wolf den nearby.And wolves live there.

Those children were so courageous that it was useless for me to persuade them directly, so I had to make up a more realistic ghost story to scare them, lest they run up the mountain by themselves and be snatched away by wolves.

Unexpectedly, they spread the ghost story. "Oliver couldn't laugh or cry.

Landean: ...He's embarrassed right now.
