Psychological Control

Chapter 62

The day after Brian reported the crime, the local police department requested the assistance of the FBI's Ribau team because the murder was so vicious and because the culprit had been known to be at large for over a month. As well as helping the police find the real killer, psychological profiling of a person is also very helpful in understanding the killer's style of operation and in making arrests.

Reed, who had just escaped from the survivor's shoot, never imagined that he would be involved with Brian again in just three days' time. What makes it even stranger is that it's because Brian has been implicated in another murder case.

"This time it's not a serial murder case, but it's a case of a rather nasty nature. The killer taped his abuse of the victim directly, so what we need is not to investigate the real killer, but to further bring him to justice by profiling and investigating him." Hotchner waved his hand with the information in his hand and said to the crowd in his office.

"I heard that the person who reported this case is the one who played our talented young Doctor, Brian, at the game enough? Wasn't he also involved in the last David Vincent case?" Derek Morgen said with amusement, "Is he possessed by the Grim Reaper?"

"...What do you mean played me?" Red's ears went red for a second, Derek just loved to antagonise Red, the two would just tussle in the usual way or not.

"Everyone come take a look at that video file the other police department sent over, I stopped by and asked for another video of Brian in the interrogation room. I'm told he was the one who described all the information about the case, as the killer sent the recorded killings directly to his email address." Gideon sat at the table raising his hand and shouting to everyone. Soon everyone, including Reid, gathered around.

...

"Umm...this guy was obviously high on drugs at the time of the crime, but to reach this level of neurosis should have alerted everyone around him, right? How come he didn't alert anyone..." said Al with a disgusted look on his face after reading the first of George Abel's "works".

"From what Brian dictated, the killer was previously a gay actor. He was in the grey industry himself, and his relationship with William was not a normal relationship. Sometimes acting out of character should be overlooked by those around him." Aaron Hozina explained as he glanced at the information in his hands.

Jason Gideon didn't say anything, just clicked on the second video. The video of Brian giving an account of the case. "Let's see what our acquaintance Brian has to say first."

"Brian shouldn't be a suspect! In the month I've spent with him in contact, I think he's got a pretty good handle on himself." Ryder subconsciously had to rush to explain for Brian. "Although there was a history of his antisocial personality checked out before, I think he's much better, if not cured..."

"Ahem, Red." Gideon smiled and soothed Red, "If it wasn't for his alibi, which makes it impossible for him to even be an accomplice, I reckon I'd have to take you off this case investigation. Don't bring too much personal feeling into the case." The mentor ended with another word of guidance for Reid.

Brian's second trip to the interrogation room was once again watched from start to finish by the bau team. I guess Brian didn't even realize that he thought he was hiding it pretty well, but he had actually been titled here with the bau team for a long time.

In Jason Gideon's computer screen, Brian had described the details of the case to a general level. The detective named Jack had remembered the transcript in great detail, and no details had been left out in comparison to Brian's words. At that moment Brian was talking about what he knew about George Abel's killer in the video.
