Chapter 18 Keystone Killer - Hand

"I have asked Grasia to investigate the car accidents around Philadelphia 18 years ago." Seeing that Ryan was still watching the scene silently, Morgan thought about his words a bit more mentally.After all, when Elle suggested to check the rear window for fingerprints just now, he seemed to have seen this guy's temper by the side.

"Something's wrong." Standing in front of the whiteboard, Reid circled the crossword puzzle left at the crime scene with a pen. "Nicholas..."

"Is this a name?" Elle looked up. "Is it a country or a person?"

"Neither, but if you read it backwards, it's Socct Harbin." Reid glanced at everyone, "Ryan's suspect list includes this person."

"It's not him!" Ryan said anxiously, "The suspect we're looking for has never been in prison, and I sent this guy to prison with my own hands. He's just a pervert." After speaking, he strode away go out.

"Gideon." Morgan couldn't stand it anymore, what should we do to cooperate with him. "

"Anyway, let's go to this guy's residence first." Hotch looked at Ryan's back and ordered the task.

Jessie and JJ had just finished dealing with the influx of media when Elle was the first to rush into Harbin's house.Worried about what Elle's impulsive temper would do, she hurriedly dragged JJ in to search together.

As soon as he entered, he saw Elle jumping on the suspect, taking out the handcuffs and handcuffing him.

"Elle..." Jessie whispered.Seeing the serious face of the person in front of him, he knew she was in a bad mood, so he followed Morgan and Hotch into the house to investigate.At the same time, pay attention to the movement outside.

The media heard the news again, JJ looked at the spotlight outside the door, motioned to Gideon, and walked out.

"Lonely?" Jessie looked at Gideon, confirming her point.

"Because it hurts him to share a cell with several people." Elle looked around the interior of the room.

"Have you finished?" Harbin, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Jessie and Gideon with some dissatisfaction.

Elle frowned, as if a bad memory came to mind, "Did I offend you? Or did I make you angry?" She said and walked towards the suspect sitting on the chair.

Gideon waved his hand at Jessie who was about to stop him. Jessie was silent for a moment, standing where she was.

Some things still cannot be changed, such as Elle's inner pain.she secretly thought.

"Do you want to hurt me? No, you won't do it here. You will wait until the dead of night, sneak behind me, and knock my head when I'm not paying attention." Elle continued to be aggressive, "What's wrong with you?" ? The first time you see a woman who is not afraid of you, you are helpless?"

It was the first time Jessie saw Elle showing such strong dissatisfaction and resentment. Turning around, she happened to meet Gideon looking at Elle with concern. The phone rang suddenly, and it was Grasia calling.

"I found a message..."

Elle, who had calmed down a little, realized her gaffe just now, and felt a little uncomfortable seeing Gideon walking towards her.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Gideon shook his head, "No."

Elle couldn't stand Gidoen's penetrating eyes, she dodged her eyes, and whispered, "I should... be fine."

Gidoen sighed softly, and walked past Elle, "It's fine, but Jessie seems to be okay."

Elle belatedly recalled that the little doctor seemed to be looking at her at the time, with a little hesitation in her eyes.

"Find a victim." Hotch and Morgan came out with a woman whose mouth was taped. "This guy is probably going to share a cell with several people again.

"Keeping the victim at home doesn't fit the profile of the Keystone killer."

"I told you it wasn't him!" Ryan said to Morgan dissatisfied.

"But we saved this woman's life, didn't we?" Morgan wanted to say more, and Ryan had already walked to the front of the car, picked up a page of paper on the hood, and looked at it carefully.

"He's been here." Ryan was almost angry. "He's laughing at me."

"Someone must have seen this guy." Hotch looked around the crowd.

"Southeast Philadelphia, 575 Walter Street." Jessie hung up the phone and walked out, speaking to the people outside the car.

"Whose address is this?"

"Walter Kern. Military background, hospitalized in car accident in 1988... lost consciousness on right side, never recovered..."

"You think he's a suspect?" Ryan interrupted Jessie.

"Do you know where the car accident happened? It's near 3200 Anders Street." Jessie said urgently, "He got into a car accident on the way to kill the victim."

"He's been staying here all these years. Waiting for an opportunity." Gidoen opened the car door, "Let's go to his house."

"Just now at Socct's house, I lost my composure." Elle was silent for a moment after getting into the car, but still admitted that she was not calm. "I just

Reminds... some bad memories..."

"Understood." Jessie turned her head to look at the little guy with the lowered head. "You don't have to blame yourself..."

Elle didn't speak, she rested her head on Jessie's shoulder and held her hand gently.

Dog abuse...JJ couldn't stop complaining...

Forget it, forget it... Drive seriously, let the two of you not wear seat belts, and you will be killed...

When BAU rushed to Walter's house, he happened to meet him who was about to go out.

Morgan stepped forward and cut Walter's hands backwards. Hotch led people into his house to search, and JJ patiently comforted Walter's wife.

"You come." Gideon handed the handcuffs to Ryan.

Ryan looked at the aging man in glasses, stepped forward and handcuffed him, "I finally caught you..."

While the plane was still on its way back, Jessie received a study gift package from Hotch. Looking at the textbook in front of her, which was thicker than Cihai, Jessie prayed silently in her heart for three seconds.Obediently curled up and looked at the book.

"You know, he has never had a partner, and he has no family." Elle looked at Ryan who was chatting and laughing with Morgan's group not far away, and said softly to Hotch, "Although he has retired, he hasn't seen his girlfriend for many years. child."

"Divorce is not a surprise in BAU." Hotch looked up from the file.

"How did you do it?" Elle recalled the annoyed expression on the little doctor's face that night on the phone, "How did you manage to do this job well and at the same time keep your family?"

"When I'm with them, I'm 100 percent focused on them, and it's the same when I'm with you." Hotch's eyes are soft. "When you set the principles, you follow them."

Elle glanced at the little doctor diagonally across, and said with nostalgia, "I'm afraid of becoming like Ryan, and in the end I find that my life is wasted while chasing the devil."

"It's hard, and if you sit back and watch, the job will overwhelm you."

Jessie's mind was not on the book at all, and she listened for a while with her ears closed, feeling a little sour for no reason.

Elle, but in the end you still left BAU, and Hotch failed to keep his wife...

"What are you looking at?" Elle tiptoed towards Jessie who was sitting at the desk with a frowning face.

"The study task arranged by Hotch..." Jessie felt that every word she said now smacked of despair. Elle obviously also noticed this, and stepped forward with a sneer, "Let me tell you, what don't you understand?"

You speak? Jessie always feels that Elle will go off topic when she talks.

"Don't doubt whether my professionalism is good..." His chin rubbed back and forth on his shoulder... The little doctor had no choice but to compromise.

But it turns out that my intuition is quite accurate.

"Elle, you... bully people..." After being crushed under him, the little doctor couldn't help questioning the professional...quality of the person in front of him.

But... I am willing to be bullied by you.

After a beautiful room... Elle put her pillow on Jessie's arm, waited for the two of them to breathe calmly, and said, "Jessie."

"Ah."

Elle didn't know what to say, she just hugged the person beside her like she was afraid of losing a treasure.

Jessie looked at the little guy who was resting on her arms, feeling a little distressed, and understood her thoughts in her heart.He hugged her in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her forehead, "I'm here. Don't be afraid."

"Will you leave me?"

"Elle." Jessie's eyes twinkled in the night, "Loving someone is loving all of her, including the past and the future. I love you, so, not only will I not leave you, but I will help you find you back for a long time A sense of security that was lost before.”

"I hate profilers..." The hidden little thoughts were revealed by the person in front of her, and Elle buried her head in Jessie's arms and began to act like a baby.

"I didn't profile you." Jessie laughed, "It's a tacit understanding between lovers. In China, it's called—heart to heart."

"I...my past..." Elle hesitated to speak, her slightly trembling body was hugged by Jessie, "Don't talk about it now if you don't want to talk about it, tell me when you want to talk about it." She bowed her head and kissed Elle's cheek Between the eyebrows, then the corners of the eyes, and finally gently kiss the upper lip.

Wrapping her hands tightly around the body of the person in front of her, she patted her shoulders to calm her emotions, "Relax, don't be nervous..." Jessie had the feeling of a little white rabbit taking off her coat and turning into a big bad wolf.Sensing that Elle's tense body was gradually relaxing, she changed her strategy and increased the strength in her hands.

"It's really a wolf with a big tail in a white coat..." Elle hooked Jessie's neck, thinking silently in her heart. Jessie's jerky technique is just right, making her sink unconsciously.

Maybe this is... getting better.

The author has something to say: Keke

Congratulations to the little doctor for his successful counterattack...
