The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 393 Beep beep beep, the Geiger counter is beeping

"Maybe I can help you find a suitable house in my neighborhood."

Jack thought for a while, and this was probably the only way he could help. Maybe in a few years, he would offer to lend money to Emily, but it would definitely not be now.

Emily shook her head, "No rush, I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, just wait another two years."

This topic could not be continued any longer, and the two of them returned their attention to the situation in front of them.

"It seems that at least this guy had a happy childhood." Emily dug out a lot of toys from the box at the door, such as plastic soldiers, deflated basketballs, baseball gloves and so on.

"Extensive hobbies and good health." She said and dug out a large pile of children's paintings under the box.

"It looks like a work from the schema period."

The schematic period is a period of development of personal painting activities. It can also be called the "casting period" or the "golden period". It has the unique innocence and intuitiveness of children's paintings, but at the same time it is full of emotion and imagination.

Jack recalled the knowledge he had passively received from Red's encyclopedia, "The schema stage is usually between 5 and 8 years old, right? Is there any time on it?"

"It says 1985 on the back, so this guy is about 40 years old." Emily raised a finger at Jack.

"One to zero."

"No, one to one." Jack pulled out a baby photo, which showed an obviously white baby.

"The child in your drawing also painted himself with yellow hair, indicating that the suspect is Caucasian."

Emily curled her lips. This was because she was negligent in her observation, but she soon made a new discovery.

"Let's look at the changes in these paintings over time." Emily spread out several paintings side by side for easy comparison.

The crayon painting depicts the happy life of a family of four.

"The bright sun, the warm father's love and mother's love, and the idyllic and beautiful home."

But as Emily's fingers moved between several pieces of drawing paper, first her mother was gone, then her sister was gone, and finally the dog was gone, the sun no longer appeared in the sky, and the idyllic and beautiful house became A dilapidated wooden house in the desert sands.

"This is the turning point in his life." Emily sighed.

"Perhaps due to divorce or death due to illness, I lost two relatives in just a few years. The father and son depended on each other and went to a remote town."

Jack began to profile his childhood personality. "The father may have been busy making a living and neglected to care about the child. The child began to become taciturn and began to close his heart. What could be the trigger that caused his surname to become increasingly extreme?"

He began to recall the pornographic magazines in the box that had been taken away by the FBI, and took out his mobile phone to call Rossi. He should still be with Hotchner at the moment.

Jack first stated his and Emily's judgment, and then asked Rosie to turn out the magazines.

"I remember that there were several very early copies of "BOUDOIR", "PENTHOUSE", "HUSTLER", "TRANSFORMATION" and "PLAYBOY" in the box. The earliest ones were a few years ago."

"They are "PLAYBOY" and "PENTHOUSE" from 1982. They are well preserved and can be called collections." Rossi's voice sounded quite impressed.

Jack scratched his head, a little confused, "The time doesn't match up. We judge that the suspect is currently around 40 years old. Is this guy still a collector? But according to his later tastes, he should not like these things. "

"Maybe it was passed down, such as from his father." Hotchner said at the side.

Rossi smiled knowingly, as if Hotchner had brought back memories of his early years, "I can still remember my father's poorly hidden secret treasures, and he always thought he hid them well."

Jack also thought of his childhood, and it seemed that many boys would have similar memories.

"Obviously, what is different from ordinary people is that this guy quickly developed to a higher stage. Without parental discipline and guidance, he began to seek more. Later, those easily obtained abuse videos triggered a certain desire."

Seemingly touched by Jack's words, the two old men on the other side of the phone started chatting.

"I remember when I was interrogating Ted Bundy, he gave a theory about erotic literature, and he said, 'If you don't want people to follow in my footsteps, don't burn 'Catcher in the Rye.'"

".Burn HUSTLER, I've read your book too." Hotchner continued the second half of Rossi's sentence.

Jack could almost imagine Rosie's expression as if her ass had been slapped just right where it tickled her.Ted Bundy was once a legend among serial killers. There is a special word for him, an elite pleasure-loving murderer.

The number of victims he murdered is still unknown, with estimates ranging from 26 to more than a hundred. He committed the crime only for five years, during which he successfully escaped from prison twice.

The most incredible thing is that a victim who luckily escaped from Ted Bundy actually agreed to his proposal in court after he was sentenced to death for the third time, and later served for him. A daughter was born.

Even during the nearly ten years in prison before Ted Bundy was officially executed, countless crazy women wrote to him, claiming that they were willing to die for him.

Jack remembered that Rosie had also written that while hunting down another famous serial killer, the Green River Killer, Ted Bundy, who was on death row, offered to help solve the case.

And Rossi also admitted in the book that although the "Green River Killer" was only captured after Ted Bundy was executed, he was indeed inspired by him.

It's just ironic that Gary Ridgeway, the "Green River Killer" who theoretically may have killed more people than Ted Bundy, was spared the death penalty by the great federal judicial system.

Jack hung up the phone. The score was now two to one, with Emily in the lead. The two continued to rummage through the clutter in the warehouse.

"Bingo, three to one, you lost, look what these are?" Emily turned out a lot of textbooks.

"A User's Guide to Engineering, Mathematics, and CAD."

"He went to vocational school and was a repairman or an upholsterer," she concluded.

"Maybe I still have a chance." Jack got into the inside without being too dirty and dug out a large cardboard box.

"I think this counts as two points." He pulled out a pile of clothes from the box, "Look at these."

"What the hell?" Emily's eyes widened and she looked around in surprise.

"The sizes are different, and they have all been resized. Do you think they are the victim's clothes?" Jack didn't understand women's clothing, so he could only ask for advice humbly.

"It's hard to say, but I'm more inclined to be a transvestite." Emily pursed her lips, holding a skirt and putting it in the sun for closer inspection.

"There are (jing) spots, but there are too many of them, as if they were 'ejaculated' repeatedly."

She took off her gloves and turned on her phone camera to take a photo, but suddenly stopped.

"Jack, my phone's camera function seems to be broken."

Jack walked over to her and took a look, and found some strange white noise that was not obvious in the picture captured by her mobile phone camera.

His heart moved, and he quickly took off his gloves, took out his mobile phone and turned on the camera function, and found that similar white noise spots also appeared on the screen.

"I remember there was a Geiger counter in our equipment box, right?" Emily was shocked at Jack's words.

The two ran out of the warehouse at the same time. Jack took out a Geiger counter from the equipment box in the trunk of the car, opened it, and shook it in the direction of the garage. Sure enough, it made an unpleasant beeping sound.

"Jack." Emily's voice began to tremble.

"Well, it's not a big problem. It's only 80 microsieverts. Although it exceeds the background radiation in the normal environment by hundreds of times, the time we stayed here is not enough to cause too big a problem."

Jack comforted, patted Amy on the shoulder and gave her a free healing spell.

But the next thing is troublesome. Before the specific radioactive source is found, their work will come to a temporary halt and they need to wait for the CDC and other relevant departments to arrive and deal with it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity before the chemical defense department arrived, Jack called Hotchner, informed them of the situation, and asked them to quickly check the radiation situation there.

Thank God, there was nothing wrong with the pile of documents and video tapes, so the source of radiation must still be in the warehouse.

　As for the relationship between the white noise captured by mobile phones and the actual amount of radiation, professionals are asked not to criticize it, just treat it as artistic processing.

　　In addition, in terms of time setting, it is impossible for Rossi to have participated in the "Green River Killer" case, and it is even less possible for the "Ted Bundy" case. It is not a world anyway, so just ignore it and treat it as these murderers. It appeared ten or twenty years later than the actual history.
