Chapter 738 Welcome Ceremony in New York
Back at the Federal Building, Jack led everyone into the combat center, where Dana Moger, Hannah and Jubal were already waiting.
After a brief introduction to both parties, Hannah naturally took Jiejie's arm and left under the meaningful gazes of some people. Their job was to contact the NYPD's public relations department and various media to guide current public opinion as much as possible. .
Rosie and Dana Moger went to her office, and Jack took the others to a conference room that had been prepared long ago. The conference table was already covered with files, and then he folded another one and almost A map as thick as a book was handed to Red.
"Here's a map of the New York City boroughs. There's a map shelf and an evidence board next to it for you to use to complete your geographical profile. If there's anything else you need to tell me."
Then he opened his personal office diagonally opposite and invited Garcia in, "You can use my office during this period. If I had known you were coming, I would have prepared a separate room for you in advance. "
Jack knew Garcia's daily work habits. A quiet room would allow her to work more efficiently. If she prepared some snacks later, her efficiency would be doubled.
"Someone from the NYPD will come to check your system authority later. Although the city's surveillance is full of omissions, it at least covers most public areas. Three of the four current cases occurred under surveillance cameras. "
After speaking, he waved to the two otaku technicians and asked them to move several LCD screens and a computer host into his office.
Joyner, who was following Hotchner, opened her mouth half-opened and stared dumbfoundedly at Jack's arrangements for everyone. She had no idea when he would prepare all this.
"It seems like you're adapting to everything here. I'm so happy for you." Emily couldn't help but hug Jack again.
She always felt deeply guilty about someone. After all, it was ultimately her fault that not only caused Jack's house to be blown up by a rocket, but also went to Mexico to hunt down Doyle.
Although Jack said he wanted to settle personal grudges at the time, his real purpose was to eliminate the root causes of future troubles for himself. In the end, he was "assigned" to New York because he made too much noise.
So when she saw Jack taking care of himself in the New York office, Emily felt happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
"I have also tidied up my office in Long Beach. I will take you there to have a look after the case is over. Maybe you will fall in love with the scenery there and stay in New York in the future." Jack smiled evilly and pretended to be "poaching", and when he raised his head, he happened to meet Hotchner looked dumbfounded.
"Hey, Jack, wow, are these your old friends from the BAU?" Danny arrived before anyone else arrived, and barely managed a warm smile to say hello to everyone.
"What's going on?" After briefly introducing each other, Jack asked directly. Looking at his expression, you could tell that something was wrong, and there was a high probability that a new case would arise.
Sure enough, Danny's face suddenly fell, "There was another shooting at the Spring Street subway station, just 40 minutes ago."
Hotchner took out his cell phone and sent a message to Rosie, "Emily, Jack and Rosie will go to the scene with Detective Danny Regan. Rhett and Luke will stay here. Joyner and I will go find Moge." Madam, let’s see if it’s necessary to hold a press conference first.”
After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He arranged for Jack out of habit, but someone seemed unaware and turned around and left with Emily, just like before.
"I can see that the relationship between you is very good." Joyner was keenly aware of the change in Hotchner's title to her, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, just like family." Hotchner nodded slightly.
——
To the northwest of Chinatown is New York's famous "SOHO District", which is densely packed with galleries and full of fashion and avant-garde art. It is also a famous shopping paradise.
The place where the crime happened was near the Spring Street subway station that Danny mentioned. Although it was located in a bustling city, the place was still old and smelled bad. The messy graffiti on the walls and the dirt accumulated on the ground over the years were daunting.
However, New Yorkers have already adapted to this environment. For them, taking a train from around New York to Grand Central Station every day, and then transferring to the subway that extends in all directions is the most convenient and fastest way of transportation. Americans here live a completely different life. life.
Because the subway needed to operate normally, when everyone arrived, although the body was still lying on the ground and covered with white cloth, there was only a small area surrounded by yellow cordon tape, and several patrol police were guarding the area.
"It's still a headshot with a .22-caliber bullet. The technique is clean and neat." Jack quickly finished checking the body, took off his gloves and stood up with a sigh.
The deceased was a middle-aged white man in his early 40s with some baldness. Judging from his clothes and the things he carried, he should be an ordinary tourist traveling with a backpack.
"There's nothing special, just some changes of underwear, wallet and mobile phone. It's the most ordinary backpacker kind."
Emily had also just finished checking the deceased's backpack and shook her head to express that she found nothing.
"So he just took out a gun and killed people in broad daylight, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape?" Rossi, the oldest person at the scene, also said that he had never seen such an arrogant serial killer in his life.
"There is no confusion." Jack walked up behind him, "A pistol that uses .22 caliber bullets can be made very small, and the gunfire is not loud. This is a subway station, and the sound of the subway entering and leaving the station can be well covered up. Gunshots.
He just needs to walk at the end, observe the situation, find the person at the back, and then with a bang, he can escape. "
As he spoke, Jack made a shooting gesture towards the back of Rosie's head.
"But I still don't understand. Even if he consciously avoided surveillance, someone should have noticed that something was wrong, right? It only took a few seconds from the time he shot to the time the victim fell. Why can't even a single witness be found? ." Emily expressed confusion.
Danny waved the notepad in his hand, "Well, it's not that there are no witnesses, but the descriptions of the murderer are diverse, from Puerto Ricans with dark skin to Asians, basically including all races in the city."
"Why is this happening?" Emily looked at Jack with wide eyes.
"This is New York." Jack pointed around with an innocent face. Several people waiting for the subway were casting curious glances at him. Seeing his actions, they quickly looked away, except for one or two people who were the same. People dressed as tourists stood far away and whispered to each other, and almost no one paid attention to the scene.
