The people who hired me are dead

There was a small sound in Rhett's ear, with a painful muffled sound.Then someone roared, as if cursing something.After a while, all sounds disappeared with the sound of distant footsteps.

Rhett frowned, and he gradually woke up from the coma.He opened his eyes to find himself strapped to a chair with Al across from him.

Between them stood two candles, the candlelight being the light source here.A little light in the distance illuminated the stairs, and their assailants had left the door open.

Rhett could barely see Al's situation clearly, but he couldn't see Al's expression clearly.Al lowered her head and gasped heavily, her hands were tied behind her back, her body was trembling uncontrollably, and the wooden chair made subtle sounds as she moved.

Rhett noticed that there was a puddle of water under Al's body, and the water droplets were constantly dripping from Al's body.

"Al?" Rhett yelled worriedly, and began to try to break free from the rope on his body, "What's wrong with you, Al."

"It's okay, he just splashed water on me." Al raised his head and said tremblingly.

The temperature in this room was very low, and Al, who was drenched all over, was so cold that he was about to lose consciousness.

Although he couldn't see Al's expression clearly, Rhett knew that Al couldn't last long.It was really too cold here, Rhett looked back at the dusty cabinet not far away, it was a basement.

Those who attacked them were in ambush in Al's house.He knocks out the defenseless Al, and Red only has time to fire two shots before being stunned by the electric current.

"I remember you were on the phone with Yun Xinzhuo at that time." Al gasped.

"Yes, he knew we were attacked." Reid looked at the surrounding environment and tried to save himself.

"There is nothing useful, he cleared everything." Al coughed lightly and said, "I woke up earlier than you, Rhett. But he was standing behind me all the time, and I couldn't see his face. He didn't make a sound the whole time, he was discreet."

"If he wants to kill us, he won't mind these things." Reid said softly: "This is not a good sign. He probably wants to torture us slowly. He is cautious, just worried about accidents."

Before he could finish his words, the candle between them burned out.

There was not much light coming from the door, and it seemed that the lights were not turned on.

"It's been almost an hour." Al said in a deep voice, "If he wants to do something, he should come down."

As if to confirm Al's words, a few minutes later, Rhett heard footsteps coming from the door.

A man wearing a rabbit mask came down, closed the door behind him, and walked between the two with two candles.

He squatted on the ground, shone a flashlight on the two candles on the ground, then got up and walked towards Rhett,

Rhett pursed his lips and looked at the man nervously.

It was a tall man with something tucked into his jacket that transformed his figure, a bunny mask wearing a wide grin.

Before Rhett had time to observe more, the man pulled the chair and threw him to the ground, and then the man who couldn't see his face kicked Rhett's body fiercely.

Rhett's hand was pressed by the chair, and he pressed his lips tightly, trying to resist the severe pain in his arm and body.

A distorted groan escaped from his throat, the man blocked the light, Rhett couldn't see clearly.He looked up only to see the silhouette of a rabbit being aggressive/violent above him.

The dark environment made him feel anxious, and his heavy breathing became more and more rapid with his eyes closed.Rhett let out a cry of pain until the man kicked him in the knee.

He grabbed the rope behind him with his fingers, and he kept struggling and his wrist was rubbed and skinned by the hemp rope.

The man leaned down and grabbed his hair, took out a flashlight and shook his face.

Rhett struggled to open his eyes, and saw the rabbit's empty eyes.Rhett shrunk his neck back, his mouth was open, and blood mixed with saliva flowed from his mouth.

The man stared at Rhett for a long time, as if he had enjoyed enough of his painful and desperate expression, he raised his flashlight and smashed it at his head.

Al could only see the back of the man. Hearing Rhett's voice, she yelled, "Stop, stop! Don't touch him, you coward who only dares to hide behind a mask, don't touch him! Crazy!"

The man turned his head, and he shone the flashlight on Al.He turned his body sideways again, illuminating Rhett on the ground.

Al was finally able to see Rhett clearly this time. She saw Rhett's eyes half-opened and his body twitching slightly.Blood flowed from the wound on his forehead, stuck his hair to his forehead, and slid all the way to the ground, leaving a pool of blood.

"We were wrong, sir... We were wrong, no matter what we did, I just ask you to forgive us." Al suppressed the anger in his heart, and sincerely prayed: "I never thought I would meet When it comes to things like this, sir, I thought my identity would keep me safe... Please, don't hurt me."

The man's movements paused, he patiently listened to Al's words, bent down to pick up the burnt candle, lit the two new candles he took down, and then turned and left without saying a word.

Al listened to the footsteps until he was sure the man was far away.She anxiously said to Rhett, "Red, are you okay, Rhett."

No one answered her, Al angrily pulled the rope on his body, leaning his upper body to go to Rhett's side.

"Red... God, hell." Al growled. "Damn, Rhett! Hold on to Rhett."

After a while, she heard a trembling voice.

"See, Al, he's bored...he's making fun of himself, it's not ahem...it's not pure sadism." Rhett said weakly: "He's not...a sadist yet, but he's already Have fun."

"He hides his physical appearance, probably because we have seen him before." Al immediately interjected that she wanted Rhett to stay awake, which would greatly increase their survival rate.

"Obviously, he wants to play a game of candles with us. Whoever's candle goes out first will be violent." Reid's vision was a little blurred. He looked at the candlelight not far away, and said in an erratic voice: "Ai Al...he fits our part of the profile perfectly...I can basically conclude that he is the murderer of Hurley's family, Al."

"He found a new toy, and he must know we're the FBI...that's why he chose us. We've seen him, Al, we must have seen him." He paused, then gasped, "We It's all wrong Al, we were misled by our own experience. That scene is indeed an organized sexual/perverted crime scene, cough...but he...he is definitely not a sexual perverted/perverted crime, he and Ke Lauder is different. He's a frivolous criminal, he's trying to make fun of himself by imitating a full-fledged sexual pervert."

"Al, we won't die, at least not now, until he gets tired of playing with the FBI or discovers new and interesting crimes." Reid's voice became softer and softer. Play it back quickly in your mind.

He frowned and murmured, "It's that neighbor... Al, it's Claude's neighbor."

Al's face sank, she clearly realized how difficult it was for others to find them.They can no longer profile the prisoner through the evidence scene of the crime, because all the scenes are imitated by the murderer.He can imitate a sexual perversion crime scene, as well as a fake assault scene.

He will no longer have obvious criminal tendencies and motives, he will not have a similar target group, and he has not really found a criminal mode to get himself out of boredom.

........................

"Director Hu Qi, it's me, Yun Xinzhuo. Reid and Al were attacked, and I'm heading to the scene." Yun Xinzhuo covered his painful head and stuffed a medicine into his mouth.

His mental condition no longer allowed him to drive a motor vehicle, and he sat in the co-pilot of a taxi.Holding the seat belt tightly, he frowned and said to Hu Qi on the phone: "I heard two gunshots and sounds like gunshots. Someone may be injured."

"We are calling for surveillance." Hu Qi turned his head to Morgan, and Morgan turned to contact Garcia.

"Keep in touch and report the progress at any time." Hu Qi said in a deep voice.

Yun Xinzhuo hung up the phone, he rubbed his forehead and ordered himself to calm down.

Maybe it's because Rhett is his friend, maybe it's because Rhett's embrace is very warm, or maybe it's just that Yun Xinzhuo is fed up with being alone.When he heard Rhett groaning in pain, he felt a strong sense of suffocation for a moment. Fortunately, he quickly forced himself to calm down.

The driver heard the conversation between him and Hu Qi, he increased the speed and took the side road, and sent Yun Xinzhuo to the destination as soon as possible.

"Sir, since there is an assault case, I suggest you call the police." The black driver rolled down the window and said to Yun Xinzhuo, "With all due respect, your condition is not suitable for fighting gangsters."

"It's okay, I won't meet him head-on, at least not now." Yun Xinzhuo took a deep breath and said.

He walked to Al's house and saw the downed coat hanger and the bullet holes in the wall.

Putting on his gloves, he picked up the casing and looked at it, making sure it was Rhett's bullet.Visual inspection did not leave any blood, and Al and Red did not harm the attacker.

The attack happened so suddenly that the attacker hid in the house ahead of time, crouching over Al.

Yun Xinzhuo was sure that he only heard a sound of electricity, but the attacker quickly subdued the two people.That person did not choose to attack Al at random, he conducted a detailed investigation of Al in advance.

Then he must know that Al is an FBI. The attacker is not like an ordinary criminal. He will deliberately avoid police officers when committing crimes. His goal is to arrest the FBI.

Yun Xinzhuo supported the wall and shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his head.

The behavior of the assailant is very strange. If the target of the crime is the police, it often contains a sense of revenge or challenge.Now that the prisoner has taken the first step, there should be a gauntlet left by him at the scene.

Yun Xinzhuo searched carefully, and finally found two mobile phones on the second floor of the shoe rack.

He picked up the two phones, and Red had an unsent email on it.The recipient is 'me', the sender is 'you', and the entire email has only one line, 'find me. '

He turned on Al's phone again and it said 'find me. '

"He left us a letter of challenge, Director Hu Qi." Yun Xinzhuo looked at the phone and said, "He left a message to let us find him."

"Describe the scene to me," Hu Qi said.
