The Blacklist

Chapter 136 The True Identity of the Deer Hunter
After dealing with Pitt's issue, there's Connery.

This time, Carrie directly assigned the task to Jeffrey, who had just joined the team, and asked him to plan and arrange it alone. He was required to secretly capture the Deputy Attorney General without alerting other people as much as possible and hand him over to him for personal interrogation.

Jeffrey did a great job. He captured Tom Connolly who was returning home from dining out the next night without even alerting anyone else. He put him directly in the trunk of a car and sent him to a safe house in the warehouse area!
That night, Carrey went alone to receive the results of the battle. After letting Jeffrey go back to rest, he easily interrogated Connery and dealt with this guy who had committed quite a crime.

"Host completed triggering mission 36, killed Connolly, a key member of the secret society, with a crime-killing value of 5.6, and recovered 4560 million in criminal funds."

Through two punishments against secret society members, Carrie was completely certain that this organization was a criminal organization. No matter how high the public positions of its members were, their crime values ​​could not be faked, and killing them was doing a good deed.

This time, Kerry didn't believe that the disappearance of a deputy attorney general would go unnoticed, so he arranged for his men to respond early; but things were so magical that no one really came to investigate the matter! If he hadn't received the crime-killing points, he would have thought that he had done something to the wrong person?
It was not until two days later that he learned some news from Cooper, saying that Deputy Attorney General Connally had resigned for personal reasons and left Washington. As for where he went, even his friend Cooper did not know.

This is strange. Who is covering this up? Is it a secret society?
On the 20th, Elizabeth returned to SER to work and talked with her colleagues about her experience in the past two weeks of classes, especially the cases provided by the FBI Criminal Investigation Division, which were basically things that no one had ever heard of. As a profiler, the content of her lectures to the trainee police officers was to analyze the murderer's personality through the methods of committing crimes in these cases.

Among them, what impressed her and everyone the most was a serial killer case that has not been solved to this day. This killer killed 14 adult men in a dozen years. He shot them with a crossbow in the dark, then cut open the victims' stomachs to take out their internal organs, and finally bit off a piece of their liver as a personality mark. He was called the "Deer Hunter."

Elizabeth's analysis is: This murderer has a very high IQ, is patient, calm, extremely organized, and likes to challenge difficult targets, just like a hunter who specifically hunts big bucks in the wild!

To this end, the murderer will spend a long time investigating and determining all the circumstances of the "prey"... Then, at an appropriate time and place, he will shoot the target's heart with a crossbow arrow in an instant, causing the victim to quickly die from excessive blood loss... And what attracts the murderer is this sense of ritual of hunting, and that moment means everything to him!
A typical dismemberment killer would focus on specific anatomical areas that suit his preferences, such as the face, eyes, mouth, limbs, hands, chest, etc., but this killer is different. He likes to have absolute control over the corpse. After killing his "prey", he will disembowel it, remove the organs with surgical precision, and then pile them into a pile...

The final step in asserting his absolute control over his "prey" is to dig out the victim's liver while the body is still warm and take a ritualistic bite of it... This is a typical dominant criminal mentality. He goes to great lengths to do all this just to gain a dominant position...

Therefore, the victims' bodies are very similar, which shows that the murderer has a strong desire for revenge, and his subconscious target is someone who has dominated his life for a long time, such as his father or brother...

Based on these analysis, Elizabeth believes that the murderer is a white male, between 35 and 40 years old, and is actually a weak and fragile man!
Everyone who was listening was terrified that there was such a perverted killer!
At this time, Reddington's voice was heard: "Liz, I agree with most of your analysis, but I think the final conclusion is wrong."

"Oh? What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked in surprise.

Reddington walked up to the crowd and said, "The perverted killer you call 'Deer Hunter' is not a stag at all, but a careful doe." "Female?" Donald asked puzzledly.

"I disagree." Elizabeth insisted.

"This murderer likes to attack targets from a distance, which means that she is short and lacks strength, and has no confidence in defeating her prey in close combat, which is consistent with the characteristics of a female murderer." Reddington said, "Male serial killers prefer to hunt at close range, such as strangulation, blunt force trauma, stabbing with a knife, etc...."

"This can't be used as an excuse. Many male murderers, even if they are tall and strong, prefer to use poisoning, shooting and other effortless methods to commit crimes." Elizabeth said unconvinced.

"Liz, as we just said, this is a serial killer!" Reddington reminded her, "All previous cases have confirmed that male serial killers basically have strong sexual/sadistic tendencies, and in this case, there is no trace of this; "In addition, basic research shows that the crime cycle of male killers is two to three years, and this case has been going on for 03 years from 12 to now, with more than 14 victims...

"Liz, think about it, isn't it obvious enough after adding up all these details? The reason you couldn't find the murderer before was because you were basically going in the wrong direction. The murderer is not a man, but a woman!"

Elizabeth was still unconvinced, but she couldn't think of a new reason to refute Reddington. She looked up and saw Carrie sitting on a chair beside her, listening to their debate with interest. She immediately said, "Lee, don't just listen. Tell me, who is right, me or Reddington?"

The others also turned to look at Carrie. Everyone admired his abilities and naturally wanted to hear his opinions.

Kerry was stunned. He didn't expect the topic to be thrown to him, so he spread his hands and said, "I think what you said makes sense and may be correct."

"Ah--" Everyone sighed, despising him for trying to smooth things over without offending either side.

"Hey, I said it's possible." Carrie was unwilling to be scolded. "It's been twelve years. Why do you insist that there is only one murderer? Can't there be two? The murderer in the first six years was the short white man that Liz said, and the murderer in the last six years was the woman that Reddington said?"

Everyone was amused. Mira couldn't help but say, "Richard, what you said is too outrageous!" Everyone else nodded. Isn't this the best way to please everyone?
