The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 211 The Unfortunate Couple ([-])

Fortunately, the heat of the shootings subsided within a few days. After all, there were so many cases every year, and the number of dead did not exceed ten this time, so it was not a big news.

The members of the action team cannot be famous. Including Garcia and JJ, the personal information of everyone in the group is kept confidential. After all, there have been more than one cases in the history of BAU where serial killers who yearned for fame or pursued a challenge took the initiative to come to the door.

Therefore, whether it is Starbucks God of War or Suit Man, it will soon be forgotten by the Internet. There are more people who know Jack. After all, many people in the Wilshire branch know him, but only a few know the identity of Hochner. up.

The party held at Jack’s house on the second day was very successful. His Italian food, which he has studied for a long time, was greatly appreciated. Compared with the French food, he can sit and chat for hours while eating. Meals are obviously more suitable for small gatherings of about ten people.

Apart from the absence of Hotchner's pregnant wife who had to take care of her, overall, the first BAU gathering was quite a success.

Rossi was full of praise for almost every dish, including a little private product that Jack secretly added for dessert, a sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root that most Europeans and Americans have never tasted.

This guy Rhett didn't even spare the last bit of soup on the bottom of the plate.

The girls are obviously more interested in stews that are said to be good for skin care and beauty. JJ, Emily Plantis and Penelope Garcia tasted the white fungus and red date soup that Jack specially prepared for them for the first time.

Ever since they knew that there was a beautiful chick with super good skin on the 12th floor who was Jack's girlfriend, the three girls had already visited Hannah for various reasons. Except for JJ who was a little complicated, the other two were all amazed.

They all asked Jack about Hannah's secrets on maintenance. Of course, someone can't use massage as a nonsense, after all, neither Emily nor Garcia is his type at all.

So he pushed it to his best cooking skills, and finally even JJ couldn't help hinting, intentionally or unintentionally, that the girls don't mind that Jack usually brings more desserts with similar effects to the office.

They are willing to spend more time in the gym to consume the extra calories. Even the chubby house girl Garcia is looking for Emily to inquire about signing up for dance classes to keep fit.

After the meal, Jack relaunched a new entertainment activity, which quickly got almost everyone addicted to it. The weird square table in Jack's living room played its role for the first time - a mahjong table.

Several members of the BAU team belong to a group of people with high IQ compared to ordinary people, but since they met Dr. Reid, a genius encyclopedia, almost all of them have doubts about their IQ.

Any chess and card games, for Reed, who was refused entry to Las Vegas casinos, are calculation-based entertainment for the brain to rest.

Within a few days of their acquaintance, everyone began to refuse any entertainment of chess and cards with Reid. After all, everyone was once a smart person who stood out from the crowd in their respective social circles. No one likes the feeling of losing to doubt life.

Now the mahjong that Jack took out brought everyone's IQ back to the same starting line.

There are too many ways to win cards in mahjong. You can calculate the probability to increase the winning rate by counting the cards, but the effect is limited. Sometimes luck takes the main factor instead. In addition, you can cooperate with each other to jointly suppress the winning general. Soon everyone will I fell in love with this wall-building sport.

The pair of mahjong they played was made by Jack himself. He made some cheap African rosewood and mammoth ivory, and carved a few pairs in his free time to practice his skills.

Unexpectedly, everyone in BAU soon became obsessed with it. Within a few days, Rossi took a small oil painting that was said to be able to exchange Jack for a house in exchange, and returned with two sets of mahjong.

One set was placed in the office, and the other set was placed on the Gulfstream plane. From then on, mahjong became the only general entertainment method designated by the team members.

Jack speculates that Rossi is planning ahead based on his own experience and considering the dual physical and psychological pressures that the team members will face in the future.

Therefore, although he felt that the painting style of everyone in the group was gradually being distorted, Jack happily hung the small oil painting in his bedroom.

He really can't understand the abstract painting of Pollock worth hundreds of millions in Chris's car, but he likes this sunflower work that is said to be Picasso's practice. At least he can understand what this painting is about.

But soon, JJ brought the BAU team members who were addicted to mahjong the first case after the group was established.

A Nevada sheriff called the FBI for help after a series of suspicious incidents in Reno that the sheriff believed to be interrelated.

"Three days ago outside Renault, a Honda car was hit by an attached truck. The driver of the truck was unharmed. The couple Jonathan and Rebecca Gollen in the car were pronounced dead at the scene."

In the conference room, JJ played photos and materials sent by the local police station on the screen.

"When the local sheriff arrived at the scene, he noticed something unusual. There were no traces of blood splatter in the vehicle, no seatbelt bruises on the body, and no lacerations from the airbags."

Rhett rubbed his chin and concluded, "The couple died before the accident?"

"Yes." JJ nodded, "The medical examiner confirmed this and found out the real cause of their death."

"Both husband and wife suffered blunt force attacks to the head and there is evidence that the wife was raped and abused during her lifetime."

"Then?" Hochner signaled JJ to continue. A simple fake car accident case would obviously not be directly transferred to BAU, and there must be more to come.

JJ pressed the remote control in his hand, and a series of photos appeared on the big screen.

"According to those materials, Garcia searched for similar accidents that occurred in the transition area between California and Nevada recently, including the other two cases provided by the sheriff. We found that in the past two months, there were a total of six similar cases. .”

"They were all husbands and wives who were in the car and were hit by a truck or a heavy-duty truck, and both died. However, because the two states belong to different jurisdictions, these cases were not immediately linked, and three of them It was treated like a normal car accident."

Rossi quickly flicked through the information in his hand, "Every time there was only one man and one woman in the car, and the car was parked in the middle of the road in the middle of the night, and the place where it happened was a remote road section that was not the main road. This cannot be a coincidence. We also found Anything else in common?"

JJ turned the shorthand book to the next page and read, "Garcia found that the family members of two couples had reported to the police, and the family members said they had been missing for at least 2 hours."

　Asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a follow-up order, yum!
