Chapter 292 Revealing Identity
"Who are you?" The fat Sheriff Ben Xiaoy still had no expression on his face. He stood under the porch and looked at Jack with an indifferent expression.
"Jack Tavole, just call me Jack. Aaliyah Hanson's friend just arrived from Los Angeles. Why don't you invite us in? You don't want to see an FBI agent who came to help freeze to death in the snow." In the field, right?”
Hearing what he said, the two old men standing under the porch seemed to have just reacted. They turned slightly sideways, revealing the door that had been blocked by them.
"The body is five miles away. It requires a snowmobile to get there. She would have frozen to death dressed like this."
The local hunter named Cory Lambert said as he protected the heartbroken Indian girl and came to the crowd, followed by a burly man.
"This is Aaliyah Hanson, and that's her fiancé Braxton. I came with them, uh... probably for the same thing as you."
Jack opened the door to Jane's room in a very gentlemanly manner and introduced his two companions on this trip.
Last night, the BAU gathered at the Wolfe brothers' farm. During this time, Aaliyah received the bad news that her sister Natalie was found frozen to death in the wild, so she asked Braxton to take her home as soon as possible.
Aaliyah didn't say much, but Braxton asked Jack for help, hoping that he could go to this wild land with the two of them.
Braxton had stayed in Wyoming for half a year, and knew that it was impossible to rely on the local tribal police to find out the cause of Natalie's death, so he immediately pulled someone's wife.
In his words, he hates this kind of brain-based thing. With Jack as a professional, no matter what the problem is, he only needs to be responsible and take action.
With the friendship between the Wolf brothers and himself, Jack naturally obliged. He went home and took out a gun case with a combination lock, brought his Glock and spare gun FK7.5, and went to the hotel with the young couple overnight. airplane.
Of course, you still have to ask for leave. Two days of weekend leave is enough to fly back and forth. The investigation will definitely take more time. Fortunately, BAU has no important cases to be busy with recently, so Hotchner directly granted him a week's leave.
Rossi also said readily that if the case is difficult to handle, as long as Jack convinces the local tribal police to issue an application, the BAU team can be mobilized at any time to provide maximum support.
Jack also didn't expect to meet Jane Banner on the way. Since they parted ways at the FBI Academy, he has had no contact with this fierce girl.
But he still had some impression of this girl who looked exactly like the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel movies. After all, her legs were much longer than the Black Widow's.
This also illustrates one thing from the side. Although the FBI only sent out a rookie agent, which seemed a bit perfunctory, Natalie's death was probably not an accident.
Because only if murder is suspected, the tribal police will report the case to the FBI, and the FBI will determine the jurisdiction.
Since Indian reservations enjoy certain autonomy, ordinary criminal cases are usually handled by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
When he arrived at the farm, he met the local hunter named Corey Lambert, who wore a cowboy hat and had a vicissitudes of life on his face. Jack's curiosity suddenly exploded.
This face is so familiar to him, it looks like an eagle eye. This must be the plot of a certain movie. He has watched so many TV series in his previous life, but he has never seen these two appear together in an ordinary crime drama.
Jack felt that even if he pushed the door into the house at this moment, he wouldn't be surprised to see Black Widow or Wonder Woman standing inside.
However, to his disappointment, there was only a yellow-looking mixed-race boy and an old Indian woman in the house.
"Kuma, find some warm clothes for this girl." Corey Lambert, who entered the house behind the two, said to his mother-in-law.
The old Indian woman who was teasing her grandson stood up reluctantly, looked up and down at the thinly dressed Jane, and then motioned for her to follow her indifferently.
"What did they think that they would send you here?"
Hearing what the old woman said, Jane looked at everyone awkwardly before following her into the bedroom.
Corey Lambert took Jack and the three of them to sit down on the sofa, and picked up a kettle from the coffee table, "Drink some hot tea. It's not a coincidence that you are here, just in time for this storm."
Aaliyah, with red and swollen eyes and a haggard expression, stared intently, "Uncle Corey, Natalie."
Seeing that Corey Lambert avoided her gaze, Aaliyah looked at Sheriff Ben Shaw on the side as if asking for help.
Ben Xiaoy looked unbearable, lowered his eyelids and whispered.
"Corey was tracking a cougar in the neighborhood yesterday and found the carcass east of Boulder Pebbles. I know she looked like Natalie, but"
"It's Natalie, I know it's her, otherwise I wouldn't have informed your parents." Corey Lambert couldn't help but interrupt the police chief.
Seeing Aaliyah almost fainting from tears in Braxton's arms, Jack decided it was not a good idea to take her to the scene.
"Braxton, why don't you take Aaliyah to her parents' house first, or find a place to rest, and leave it to me to investigate the scene. Her body has only recovered recently and is not suitable for experiencing too strong stimulation."
Braxton nodded without hesitation. He never acted sloppily and knew that he could not help here. Taking care of his lover was the most important thing at the moment.
He picked up Aaliyah, who was almost fainting, and said, "Thank you Jack, I'll leave the matter here to you. I'll go to the town to find a hotel and give you the news."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to the others, hugged the girl and left the house without looking back, and drove away.
"So, Mr. Tavole, who is your identity?" Old Sheriff Ben Xiaoy kept looking at Jack with a careful look.
However, although time has brought him a wealth of experience, it has not allowed him to guess the true identity of the handsome young man in front of him.
"I'm also an FBI, affiliated with the BAU, Behavioral Analysis Unit."
Jack showed his ID very simply and stated his purpose.
"I'm on leave right now and came here at the invitation of Aaliyah and her fiancé, who are my best friends in Los Angeles."
The old police chief and hunter Corey Lambert looked at each other in surprise, and their expressionless faces became a little relaxed at the same time.
Jack had a feeling that the moment he revealed his identity, the sad and dead atmosphere that had been lingering in the room finally changed.
