Back at the police station, Detective Rollins was answering the phone.

When she saw them coming back, she said yes and then hung up the phone.

"Where's Burgess?"

Ethan looked around and apologized quickly: "Sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, it's okay to be idle."

Rollins didn't care at all. She shook her head and said, "Are you asking that little girl? We didn't see anyone after we came out of the observation room."

"Jingle Bell!"

At this time, the landline phone rang again.

Ethan quickly picked up the receiver, and it was the news media who wanted to do an interview.

He dealt with it with a few words, and then directly dialed the phone line. For such nonsense, the landline phone rang for a long time, which was a waste of time.

Rollins was a little surprised when he noticed this scene.

The detective in front of me is young, does things quite straightforward, and is not afraid of the chief's criticism.

Ethan smiled at her and threw the phone cord to the ground:

"Has Jeffrey Baker been let go?"

"That's right."

Rollins nodded: "A patrol officer came up just now and took him away."

"Hey!"

Hank came over and said, "Rollins, now that the case has reached this stage, do you think there is anything worth sharing?"

"some."

Rollins sat on the table next to him: "The case that just happened proved my judgment."

"This is a rapist with an angry and vengeful personality."

Irene and Antonio also came over and listened to her analysis of the case.

"If this man had any sense, he would have fled Chicago and gone somewhere else."

Rollins spread his hands: "But the murderer stayed in the city. What happened just now proves that he has been angered."

"There is also another thing that deserves everyone's attention."

She looked at Eileen: "The injured girl, how are her ears?"

Eileen guessed what she wanted to say and nodded: "They are all still there."

"That's good news for that girl." Rollins looked at Hank again:

"But for us, it's bad news."

"The killer's needs are not being met and he will become more paranoid until his needs are met."

Olinfen added for her: "In addition, the murderer can definitely guess it, and we can get his DNA from that girl."

"It's only a matter of time before his identity is exposed."

"When these two situations are combined, he will definitely find an opportunity to take action again."

Everyone looked solemn, this was indeed not good news.

If the jar is broken, the murderer will most likely have a final spree.

"Ethan, plug in the phone line." Hank scratched his cheek: "We can't miss any clues now."

"Not to solve the case, but to prevent the next girl from getting hurt."

"Let me do it."

Erin walked over and plugged in the phone line: "Just let me answer it."

"Thanks."

Ethan shrugged.

They all sit in the same place and know each other well.

Everyone knows that he likes to fish at work, and he is especially tired of these trivial tasks, so Aileen simply took them away.

The physical characteristics of the murderer and various clues have been released.

Now is the stage of casting a net to catch fish, and we can only rely on thousands of patrol policemen in the city to carry out these tasks, so for a while, they have nothing to do.

Ethan went to the pantry to get a cup of coffee and walked out of the balcony.

"Can I have one?"

After a while, Rollins also came out and pointed to the cigarette case he put on the table.

"up to you!"

Ethan flicked off the ashes from his cigarette and took a sip of coffee.

"Click~"

Rollins lit the cigarette, held the butt between his slender fingers, and slowly puffed out the smoke:

"There are several people here, and the one I can't see through the most is you."

"Stop it!"

Ethan bit his cigarette and looked through the diffuse smoke:

"Don't try to analyze me, thank you!"

"I'm sorry!" Rollins realized that he had committed an occupational disease and waved his hands quickly:

"It's my fault. After working in this job for a long time, I can't help but get to know others. This is my problem."

To say that she behaved this way was extremely rude.

Peers are most taboo about studying peers, and no one can withstand scrutiny.

"fine."

As long as she gives up the idea, Ethan will not hold on to it: "Only under one condition will I be willing to let a woman study me."

"The most important thing is that I can only study my body."

"Hahaha."

Rollins' words made her tremble. She crossed her legs and swayed on her toes:

"You are very confident."

"you are wrong."

He crushed the cigarette butt and stood up: "You are very confident!"

Back at his seat, Ethan was about to start a game of Age of Empires for himself when there was a bang on the stairs and Burgess ran up with his ponytail swung.

"Hey!"

Ethan stood up and spread his hands: "Where have you been?"

"I discovered something."

Burgess was a little embarrassed. She walked over quickly and whispered:

"After I learned about the physical characteristics of the murderer you found, I called all the pharmacies within a two-mile radius of where the crime occurred."

"At the Walgreens on Superior Street, a person fitting the description purchased gauze, disinfectant and sunglasses."

"But they needed to confirm it was a police consultation, so I made a trip."

"Give me."

Ethan waved and took the folder in her hand.

When he opened it, he saw that it was a white man with blond hair and brown eyes. Combined with what Burgess said, he could definitely be sure to be the murderer.

"This is..." Burgess wanted to continue to tell what he had investigated.

"you shut up."

Ethan held up a finger to signal her to be silent.

Burgess was so frightened that he quickly pursed his lips and clasped his duty belt tightly with both hands, feeling a little aggrieved.

"guys!"

Ethan knocked on the table hard and walked quickly to the whiteboard: "Pay attention, there are important clues."

Hearing his shout, everyone in the main room raised their heads.

Hank also walked out of the office and asked hurriedly:

"Any big clues?"

"come here!"

Ethan looked expressionless and waved to Burgess.

"me?"

Burgess pointed at himself, his white face turning red.

She took a deep breath and strode over.

If you act privately, you can be reprimanded in public.

"Snapped!"

Ethan stretched out his hand and threw the folder into her hand: "Come on, say it here."

"ah?"

Burgess was completely in a mess. Now most of the intelligence team and two New York police detectives were staring at her. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating like crazy.

Next, with his mind in confusion, Burgess repeated what he had just told Ethan.

With trembling hands, she imitated their appearance and pasted the photo on the whiteboard:

"This white man's name is Neil Vance."

"When he checked out at the pharmacy, he used his credit card. I went to find Gene and pulled out his credit card records."

"He has been staying at the Fauntleroy Hotel for the past six days."

"At the time of the rape and murder in New York, his credit card also had consumption records in New York."

She closed the folder and said tremblingly:

"The above is what I have investigated."

"Well done."

Hank was very satisfied, walked up and patted her arm: "Don't be nervous, you performed well."

Others also stepped forward to express their appreciation for Burgess.

Unexpectedly, she was the first to break the situation.

Burgess was so excited that he could only pretend to be calm.

When she noticed the person sitting in the corner, her breathing became more rapid, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

Ethan blinked rapidly at her and raised his thumbs up.
