The path of genius evolution

Chapter 1

Dr. Spencer Reid, a genius doctor, is not good at interpersonal communication. Although his IQ is 187, this does not make it easier for him to get along with others.

So for Hotch's decision to hand over to him the communication work with Scott, an important witness and temporary member of the team, Reid said it was quite difficult.He has a good mind and sharp eyes—of course, these advantages are not self-proclaimed, they are obvious to all in the bau group, and these praises come from the outside world——Reid judged that if he went to see the shopping mall where the unknown suspect last appeared or the nearest The foothold, or doing a geographical profile based on existing clues can play a greater role than him in this work.

But there must be a reason for Hotch's decision, and Reid didn't want to bother him because he was dissatisfied with his job. As head of bau, Hotch already has enough worries on his hands.Although this mature, stable and family-friendly man rarely made excessive demands on the team members because of the case, Reid didn't want to add trouble to Hotch because of his connivance.

"You seem troubled, is there anything I can do to help?"

"If you could help me communicate with Mr. Scott..." The speaker's voice was pleasant, and the tone was so gentle that Reid answered before he even had time to look at him.However, his extremely fast speech was quickly interrupted by the gentle and clean smiling face in front of him.

In front of him was Scott himself.

Scott could see Reid's embarrassment at a glance, even if he didn't know the reason, but Scott knew that this state would not help in finding the unknown suspect.He held out his hand in a friendly way: "I'd be happy to help, but Mr. Scott can't communicate with Scott face to face. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do, Dr. Reid."

Reid didn't think it was funny at all, but he still curled up his lips and reached out to hold Scott's hand: "Sorry, Mr. Scott, I just..." He didn't often shake hands with people, but this time was special.

"I know." Scott interrupted Reid, "Anyway, the first thing to do is to find Miller. If you want to know anything from me, please feel free to ask, I will definitely tell you everything."

Only then did Reid have an intuitive feeling about "Mr. Scott is a private detective who is easy to get along with". The point is not that Scott is easy to get along with, but that he is a private detective.He quickly put the difficulty of interacting with people after work, and began to question Scott about the details.

This process made Reid both surprised and curious, and Scott was able to recall the details Reid wanted to know without any help.This allowed for a very efficient conversation, and during the short conversation, Scott also used his good people skills to make them change their address from Mr. Scott and Dr. Reid to Scott and Reid.

"One last question, how do you remember so many huge and complicated details?" Reid closed the book, although he could remember every word of Scott, but these had to be shown to Hotch and the others.The accuracy of visual memory of ordinary people is only [-]%, but it is obviously inappropriate to classify Scott as an ordinary person now.

Scott, who was sitting on the table, looked down at him sitting on the chair, and he didn't have that kind of aggressive aura, which is why Reid was willing to ask one more question: "Is this related to the case?"

"No, but you know that when the human brain processes the scenes it sees, it tends to remember those subconsciously selected things first, while some things tend to be ignored. This is because..."

"Hey, doctor, stop." Scott had to make a pause gesture to interrupt Reid's prepared tirade, "My friend is still in the hands of unknown suspects. I don't mind discussing my case with you after this matter is over." Whether the brain is the same as that of a normal person, but now we have to focus on the unknown suspect."

Speaking of unknown suspects, Reid remembered the case files he was still reading in the conference room of Bau this morning.

The morning of this day was no different from the past, the office was filled with a strong aroma of coffee. The shutters of Hotch's and Gideon's offices were still open, most of the others were busy with their work, and the other two members of the team, Man and Noelle, were walking over from the elevator.

An ordinary morning.

If anything, they took over a kidnapping case in Las Vegas.Strictly speaking, taking over a case is nothing, but it is a bit unusual for bau to be dispatched for an adult kidnapping case.If that wasn't enough, the instructions from superiors to involve a private eye from the UK in bau's operation were enough for Reid to label the operation as unusual.

A basic analysis has been done on the plane, but after hearing Scott's description, Reid still finds the unknown suspect's actions really hard to understand.

The unknown suspect and the victim are both British, so the British mainland must be the controllable and comfortable area of ​​the unknown suspect. He abandoned those long distances and ran to the casinos across the Atlantic Ocean, and took the victim to hang around in various casinos and was occasionally photographed. They will not be discovered, they must have something special.

At least the ability to disguise oneself is very good.

Reid didn't say what he thought of Scott, and the team members all had their own opinions.Rushing to guide their thinking direction is not conducive to discovering new clues.

"Reid, Scott said that the reason why the unknown suspect fled from London to Las Vegas was because he couldn't stay in London. What does that mean?" Man looked at the documents in his hand and put them on the table.

It seems that the unknown suspect did not do it intentionally, but was forced to do so.This is a great discovery, and it is very helpful for profiling.

Reid said: "Scott said there is a consultant detective in London who has every street in London printed in his head. If they stay in London, they will be found within a week."

"It turned out to be like this. Why didn't you let that detective come to the United States to handle this case?" Man was even more curious. Since there are such talents, why did the British government go to great lengths to contact the federal government to let them handle it?

Speaking of Reid, he was also a bit curious. What he was curious about was the expert in Scott's mouth: "Because this case is not very interesting, and it is not worth moving his feet to the other side of the ocean."

"Okay, let's ignore the detective consultant." Hotch, who had a general understanding of the details, put away the files, and he looked at the team members: "Reid, you do geographic profiling, bring Scott, he might be able to help you narrow down the scope. man , Elle, you go to the casino where the unknown suspect last appeared to check the situation, there may be details we missed."

As the oldest gideon in the group, he was standing in front of the evidence board looking at the known clues.He who fell into deep thought and ignored the general situation around him should have discovered some doubts.

This time, Reid accepted the task without any difficulty, he was not as resistant to Scott as before.

When he returned to the map, Scott was standing in front of the map and meditating. He listed the five unidentified suspects' whereabouts he had found, and kept staring at them.

Reid looked at him for a while but didn't see any reaction from him, so he couldn't help but tentatively said: "Scott?"

Scott was so engrossed in thought that he didn't even notice Reid's voice. Reid followed his gaze to the map and those footholds. These letters and locations were running in his mind at an incalculable speed, and the last few letters were selected by him. Reid didn't care about Scott, picked up the pen and walked forward, connected several places, and then wrote a line of words next to him.

Scott looked at Reid in surprise: "That's amazing, man, how do you know?"

Being praised so bluntly, Reid felt a little bit ashamed.But he quickly covered it up: "This is a simple coding method. In short, we have figured out the selection criteria for the whereabouts of unknown suspects." He looked away and turned to call Garcia, the technology queen of bau, Based on these, although the specific identity of the unknown suspect cannot be inferred, it can be inferred where he came from, and the reason for kidnapping the victim may be known.

The admiration in Scott's eyes slowly faded as he moved his gaze from Reid's back to the evidence board.

He vaguely knew that there should be a connection between these five locations, but it was difficult for him to unlock the code.It was Reid instead, who spotted it after just a few glances.

Next to the map, it says igetm.And the locations on the map are connected to form the letter m.In doing so, he was clearly provoking bau and adjudicating his control over miller.

"Very well, we can give a profile." Hotch picked up the information book and motioned for the police to summon the reporters.

"The unknown suspect we are looking for is a well-bred white male, 23 to 25 years old. He is smart and polite, and he can use his strengths to resolve even difficult situations. He is very pompous and elegant. Things that go well will never be tolerated, but they will not be dealt with violently." Gideon stood in front of the evidence board, talking eloquently, as if he was looking at the unknown suspect in his eyes.

"The unknown suspect has a strong desire to control, but he does not imprison his victims in a rough way, which shows that he has a strong self-esteem. But this kind of captivity allows us to follow, don't think of them as thugs, What you are looking for is not a desperate fugitive, but a traveler who enjoys the city." Elle continued.

"The unknown suspect is very good at disguising, maybe he is sitting across from you in the coffee shop and you don't see it. The victim often acts with him, which shows that he has a way of controlling him. He can blend into the environment, because so far So far, he has chosen environments that he can blend in. But he is not good at blending into the crowd, pay attention to people who suddenly appear around him, two white men with London accents, even in Las Vegas, they can’t just disappear people." Man said.

"The first five landing points make us sure that the unknown suspect is still operating within the scope of the sls project. Staff in this area and tourists who often come and go here should pay attention." In contrast, Reid's speech can be described as extremely simple.

"The unknown suspect has no criminal record. He has a clean family background. Watch out for those who speak and behave with a cunning that won't bore you. He may have a decent job, or he may be a student. For whatever reason, Victims are special to him. This temporarily guarantees the safety of the victim's life. But if the victim's resistance touches his bottom line, it is unknown what he will do. We need to find out as soon as possible This guy." Hotch concluded.

"To sum up, if you find such a person around you, please immediately call the phone number below the screen to contact the Las Vegas police." **The profile will be released publicly in front of the media.

"Give me some good news, sweetheart." Ignoring the probing eyes of the police officers in Las Vegas, Man walked into the meeting room, closed the door and pressed the speaker button.

"Oh, I'd love to, Mr. Chocolate Cheese." This is Garcia's usual way of greeting, and the content is equivalent to hello.But of course no one pointed it out at this time. "I researched people who matched our profile who flew out of London to Las Vegas three days ago and found nothing. Take it easy, crime fighters. I expanded the scope to Las Vegas, the last arrival from London. People from Las Vegas. Yes, I found out the golden tail of this handsome little fox. Geewhite, this little fox first traveled from London to Berlin, then changed his documents there and flew to Las Vegas. But it's amazing that he came to Las Vegas by himself."

"That is to say, this gee kidnapped Miller in London, and then the two arrived in Las Vegas by different routes?" Elle raised her eyebrows, this is really a bold unknown suspect.

Garcia confirmed the seemingly impossible conjecture: "Exactly, witty lady. Can you imagine that the two of them parted ways at the London airport like close friends, and then joined in Las Vegas."

"That means Miller has something more important than himself being controlled by gee." Reid quickly gave a reasonable hypothesis.

"Do you have an address, Garcia?" None of this is important right now, the first priority is to apprehend this suspect. Hotch therefore also cut off the conversation here.

Garcia heard the voice of the officer, and her tone became serious: "Yes, officer. The address and other details have been sent."

Hotch glanced around his team. "Action."

The bau players walked out of the conference room one after another, and Reid, who was the last one, saw Scott waving to him in the corner when he was about to go out. Reid hesitated for a moment, and said to the man in front: "Go first, I'll be there later."

"What's the matter?" Reid trotted up to Scott.

A light flashed in his calm blue eyes, and Scott smiled: "Reid, can you do me a favor?"
