Psychological Control

Early the next morning, Reid woke up from the uncomfortable single bed in the hotel with a dazed face, and groped for the bedside table to find his eye strap.Yesterday, as a last resort, he borrowed some money from Brian, and stayed in the same hotel with Brian Moss.He had no choice but to wait for the colleagues in the bau team to finish solving the case at hand before coming to meet him.

His papers and everything were in that stolen wallet, and he couldn't leave New York without them and go back to the fbi headquarters in Washington.I don't know if the thief would be shocked when he saw the FBI ID when he was looking through his wallet?In fact, everyone who doesn't know him will be shocked when they find out that he is the FBI.

He ate at Brian's, and lived at Brian's money. Not long ago, he suspected that the other party was a fugitive.Even someone as insensitive as Rhett felt ashamed.

After contacting him for a day, Reid didn't know what kind of person Brian Moss was.From the information in memory, it is clear that the other party is a high-risk patient with antisocial personality disorder who has been in a mental hospital for more than ten years.Generally, people who are diagnosed in this way, once they enter the mental hospital, they will never want to come out for the rest of their lives.

But Brian came out. Not only did he come out, but he has been abiding by the law for more than two years after he came out, and he didn't even get a ticket for parking indiscriminately.Scary to be cautious.These are the words of Derek Morgan.

Brian has been locked up in a mental hospital since he was five years old, and instead of going crazy because of it, a sociopath seems to be getting better?It was nothing short of a medical miracle.

And after he came out, he worked part-time to earn money, and at the same time, he studied high school courses by himself, passed the SAT, and was admitted to Stanford University!To be honest, Rhett really didn't understand how the other party survived.It was the fact that his mother was admitted to a mental hospital, which made Rhett unable to bear the pressure.Because that mental breakdown is hereditary.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk" a crisp knock on the door.

Reid froze for a moment, then quickly sat up from the bed, put on his slippers and hurried to open the door.No one came to him at this time except Brian Moss.

Sure enough, when he opened the door, he saw the model Brian, who had already dressed and was looking at the sparkle.

"Hi, Rhett! Just woke up? I'm planning to go around New York today, do you want to join me?" Brian smiled brightly.

"...No need," Rhett said with a shy smile, "I'd better stay in the hotel and wait for them to pick me up. I don't have a mobile phone or money, so I don't want to go out and run around."

"Okay." Brian Moss shrugged, "Actually, it's nothing if I invite you. How about I come back at noon and bring you a lunch."

"Don't bother!" Rhett waved his hands again and again.In the past, the robot-like shrewdness and orderliness in the case are gone, and he is a scum with only five combat effectiveness in interpersonal communication.Not to mention facing someone like Brian Moss.

The feeling Brian Moss gave him was too much like those high school classmates in his memory who could call the wind and rain with just a single mouth.He's so shiny and energetic and loves to socialize.At first glance, they are very popular campus stars.And Rhett himself, in high school, he was just a poor guy who could read.

"No trouble! I also want to thank you for lent me a set of your clothes last time!" Brian smiled and waved goodbye to him as he turned around. "See you later, Dr. Rhett!" After saying that, he walked a few meters away.

Reid opened his mouth, but it was still not good to pull the other party to say another word of rejection, so he could only watch Brian Moss walk to the stairs.Turn around and enter the elevator.

He doesn't seem to be bothered by the David Vincent thing at all.Rhett closed the door, walked back to the room and thought silently.What a guy with amazing resilience, such a strong psychological quality.And he couldn't see any anti-social personality traits in Brian.

He will care about people, because he was so kind to help him buy yesterday's dinner and advance the rent of the hotel, and now he has to help him bring lunch.He was sympathetic, and when I went back to the hotel with him last night, I saw Brian take the leftover chips and feed them to a stray cat.

This is a completely different personality trait from a sociopath.Is Brian faking it too well, or...?If he didn't believe in the psychiatric hospital in Miami that was connected to the police department, it would be impossible to misdiagnose a minor and not find out for more than ten years. He almost thought that Brian Moss had a dual personality.

A high-risk sociopath, a caring and kind-hearted normal person.

Recalling when they were still working on the David Vincent case. As soon as the bau team arrived in Palo Alto, they did not stop at all, and quickly contacted the local police station for cooperation.Because there were hostages and the situation was urgent, they didn't even explain anything to the police station.

When a group of people fully armed rushed to the small apartment that Brian had rented and broke in.It made them even more worried, because they didn't see anyone in that hut.In this case, the greatest possibility is that Brian has already been killed.They quickly tracked down the car that Brian rented, and finally found the long-abandoned remote factory.

This is also thanks to the video of Brian sending out the distress signal. In the video, Brian’s video diary recorded the name of the car rental company that he hadn’t intended to include when he just got out of the airport and got the car from the car rental company.

They got the license plate number of the car that Brian rented through the name of the car rental company, and then finally tracked the car based on the road surveillance cameras.

They never allowed Red to be at the forefront when he was in action with the rest of the bau team.Maybe it's because of his bad marksmanship, and his weak body plus vulnerable fighting skills.

So he was the last person to see Brian in the entire bau who participated in the operation.

In the gloomy abandoned factory, Brian Moss was wearing a lady's suit, holding a bloody knife in his hand. It was obvious that the knife had pierced the hands of David, who had fallen to the ground and was unconscious.On the workbench next to it, on a table covered with several layers of plastic wrap, a naked woman lay down on it, breathing weakly.

There is also a boy, bound hands and feet and placed in a far corner.Seeing them come in, the boy struggled frantically.

But none of these things attracted Rhett's attention more than the expression on Brian's face at that time.The kind that was different from the cry of joy in a desperate situation, Bryan Moss didn't even look at the one who fell to the ground. It should be David, his friend for many years, who later kidnapped him.It seemed that what he was thankful for had nothing to do with any of this.

Although even Jason Gideon didn't see anything, Rhett just felt that he was glad that he didn't become the same person as David Vincent.It is unbelievable that a sociopath has the same moral values ​​as the general public.

But Rhett can empathize with that feeling, because he is afraid every day that he will become mentally weak like his mother, and he is also grateful every day that he can still work for the bau team and shine as a useful person.

Al volunteered to wrap Brian in a towel and helped him out.Maybe it's the same as myself, the starting point is guilt for misunderstanding him.Rhett saw the women's clothing on him and the clothes that had been thrown on the dusty floor of the factory, so he also gave him a change of clothes of his own.

"Thank you." It was a very flat sentence without ups and downs.

Rhett clearly remembered Brian's appearance at that time, looking like a leopard whose fur was wet by the storm and was a bit embarrassed.Yes, it's a leopard not a kitten.At that time, he might not have recovered from the panic of being hijacked by David and being forced to participate in the crime.Compared with seeing Brian now, he is more like the character he wrote out through the psychological profile of the data.

A little indifferent to the outside world, but also very educated.

On the other hand, what Rhett didn't know was that his guess about Brian was more than half right.Brian has two personalities, a high-risk anti-social personality, and a normal person with the moral standards of ordinary people.And the personality of a normal person has the upper hand in Brian's psychological struggle.

But anti-social personality doesn't affect everything. Brian's concern for Rhett and his behavior of feeding stray cats are actually all pretended by him to confuse Rhett.

Brian's two personalities are subtly blending with each other.He is dominated by the personality of a normal person, but is affected by anti-social personality traits. Although he knows that he should care about others, he will forget it if he is not careful.His behaviors of caring for people can only be done if he tells himself to do it.

Feeding stray cats is even more important. When Brian was not Brian, he often used some of his leftovers to feed the stray cats around his house.But after becoming Brian, he hasn't had similar behavior for a long time.Because Brian's anti-social personality told him that those things had nothing to do with him and he didn't have to care.

The original plan was to wait until Brian came back at noon, because he said he would bring lunch for Rhett.However, the members of the bau team showed up at the door of his hotel room after Rhett finished washing and getting dressed.

Because of the need for the next case, Rhett didn't even have time to wait for Brian to come back, thank him in person, and say goodbye.All he could do was leave a post-it note for the hotel, which he dropped through the crack in Brian's room door.

It wrote his thanks and his words of looking forward to seeing him at the Survivor shooting scene two months later. I wonder if Brian will be angry with him for not saying goodbye when he comes back?

In fact, Brian wouldn't be mad at Rhett for not saying goodbye.He dragged himself out for a long enough time before returning to the hotel with a piece of Chinese food, because according to his calculations, the people from Bau should have come by this time to take Rhett away, right?

He took great pains to cover up and disguise himself in front of Rhett, just to dispel the BAU team's suspicion of him as a potential criminal.If his disguise was easily exposed because he faced Jason Gideon, the master of psychological profiling in the bau group, wouldn't it be a waste of pretending last night?
