The screen showed an incoming call from John. Jack found a corner and stood in, covering his left ear with one hand and holding the phone tightly against his right ear.

"Hi, Jack, uh. What happened to you there? Did you go to a war zone?" John's heartless voice came from the phone.

"Watching a small street riot. The Chicago Mounties are so handsome. What do you want from me?"

His voice sounded like it didn't sound like it was an emergency. Jack answered while trying to stick his head out and continue watching the show. However, the angle was not very good. He could only see that the water cannon truck had been pulled at the end, and the mounted police and riot police were already fighting. The rioting crowd fought together.

Under the attack of the powerful horse, the chaotic rioting crowd collapsed. The riot police behind the mounted police were like catching chickens. Two or three people worked together to knock down one of them, beat them violently, and then handcuffed these guys.

John's voice sounded a little excited, "That's right. Today, Jia Lisi and I have agreed on a wedding date. We plan to reorganize my house and maybe prepare a baby room."

Jack "."

John is in his 40s, and Jia Lisi was once his classmate, just a few years younger than him. Isn’t it a bit hard for the two of them to plan to have children at their age?

Wait, nursery?

An idea flashed in Jack's mind, and the previously impenetrable membrane disappeared without a trace. He finally found the missing link that he and Red had been unable to figure out before.

"John, you are such a good man."

"Ah? Then you agreed?" John was a little surprised.

This time it was Jack who was stunned, "What? What did I promise?"

"Help me decorate the baby's room and the backyard. Jialisi likes your beautiful backyard very much." John was so happy.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about. Oh, forget it. I'll help you if you ask. A box of Cohiba Beiko No. 56." Jack said loudly.

"One box? Do you know how much a Beike No. 56 costs now?" John on the other side of the phone felt his heart twitching violently.

"Including the luxurious wedding cake made by our master for you, you can let Jia Lisi style it as you like." Jack was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"Two boxes, you will handle all the dishes and desserts for the wedding banquet." This sentence was almost squeezed out from John's teeth.

"Deal, oh, and thank you for this call, maybe it saved several lives." Jack's thanks came from the bottom of his heart.

"Shouldn't you give me a discount?" John was still smiling playfully on the other side of the phone.

"Public is public, private is private, buddy, why don't you go back and wait until the case is over, and I'll ask our leader to call you personally to thank you?"

Jack felt that with Hotchner's serious temperament, he would really call John personally as long as he asked.

"Are you talking about your leader who always has a straight face? Spare me, I would rather face Inspector Gray's big black face alone."

John was still going to chatter a few words, but Jack couldn't wait to hang up the phone, "John, we can wait until I get back to talk about everything. Now I have to go and get busy."

Putting away his phone, Jack quickly came to the crowd watching the excitement and said, "Hey guys, I think I know something. Let's find a quieter place."

Five minutes later, the 7-seater Saab class was packed. In addition to the group, Boyt also sat in. As the door was closed, the noise was blocked outside the car.

Jack, who was in the driver's seat, turned around with an excited expression on his face, "An old friend who worked as a construction contractor just called me, and this reminded me."

Before Jack could finish his words, he was interrupted by Rhett who was also excited, "This is a newly built community. Who are the most common people around a place like this? Builders, contractors and construction workers, we actually ignored them?"

Hotchner's eyes were full of annoyance, "Damn, we don't even want to think about it. They are everywhere here and they are not noticeable at the same time."

"So, what should we do now? Investigate all the construction companies working around there?" Boyette said as he prepared to take out his cell phone.

Although this is also a job that requires a lot of police force, it can be said to be a huge improvement compared to the previous directionless search for a needle in a haystack.

"No, don't worry, listen to me. There is another important point. My friend asked me to help decorate a baby room. This is the key point that really inspired me.

You know that Rhett and I have been analyzing the data on previous sabotage cases these past two days. We believe that the murderer's crimes escalated too quickly, and there is a missing link in the middle. "

"Do you still remember the three previous cases of vandalism? The three cases before the invasion of private homes and the murder of four victims, the first and second cases, were all vandalism to public property, smashing car windows, and vandalizing restaurants.

It's very typical, with a symbolic venting motive, but what about the third incident? A newly renovated villa, a separate, unoccupied residence, was reported to have had all rooms damaged except for a baby's room. "

"What was the purpose of their destruction? Why did they turn their targets to private residences? Is it possible that the murder of four people was not the murderer's first case. I think the answer lies in the undamaged baby room."

In the middle of Jack's words, Rossi already understood what he meant and took out his mobile phone to call Garcia.

Soon, Garcia sent the address of the villa that was damaged in the third case of sabotage. No one was too lazy to get out of the car and asked Jack to start the Saber class and speed towards the address.

It was already late at night, and the owners of the villa were a young black couple who seemed polite. Even if they were disturbed at this time, they still maintained a good demeanor.

"So, is there anything I can do to help?" The male host didn't look very good. After all, a large group of FBI came to the door in the middle of the night, and anyone else would be a little uneasy.

"Sir, it is related to the previous case of vandalism at your house. We believe that the person who vandalized your house is the murderer of the two murders that occurred in this area."

Rossi was also very polite. After everyone was invited into the room, he spoke slowly.

"Yes, we know, we have all read the newspapers and it was mentioned on TV that this is a series of cases."

As he spoke, the male host tilted his head and motioned for everyone to look at the shoe cabinet beside the door, where a shotgun was hanging.

"Do you mean that those thugs might come to the door again?" The lady of the house, who was at least seven or eight months pregnant, asked with a worried look on her face behind the man.

"No, we are worried that before the first murder happened, there was another murder that happened here." Jiejie stepped forward and helped her sit down on the sofa nearby.

The time for leave has been changed to Saturday. My wife’s grandfather passed away. The old man was over 90. It is considered a happy funeral. I have to go to Anhui. The time may be tentatively scheduled for two days. It depends on the situation. I will see if I can come back on Sunday to update. .
