Chapter 136: There is no one more suitable than her for the Whitechapel serial murder case...
Judy:?
Is this an okay question?
Did she want to hear what she was asking? Ask the official organization members about the case?
The FBI has signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot disclose the case to irrelevant personnel without permission!
Fortunately, although Kim Bonnar was usually very cold towards his teammates, he would not break the rules when it came to designing a confidentiality agreement...
"Adult male, mentally ill, with a history of drug addiction."
"He is a religious man. He is a bachelor and has no family—perhaps he once had some, but he is the only one left now. He is currently unemployed. He lives in poverty, but he has a permanent residence."
Jin said in a flat voice.
Judy: ???
What about the confidentiality?!
Although this is not a big deal, you signed the contract! !
I know you don't feel a sense of belonging to the FBI, but can you show some professionalism?
She couldn't help herself and strode forward to walk beside them.
The girl in the middle immediately turned her eyes, looked at her, blinked, and said, "Hello."
Meeting those curious honey-colored eyes, Judy Stelling unconsciously softened her tone.
"Hello."
After she finished greeting him, she glanced sideways at her colleague who was sipping coffee and seemed indifferent to her presence. She questioned him with her eyes:
What is your relationship with this girl?
Perhaps because her gaze was so striking, Jin paused and introduced, "This is my colleague, Judy Stelling. Judy, this is my friend, Lin Xi."
Judy:?
How could a guy like this have friends?
"Hello, Miss Stellin." Lin Xi extended her hand. "This is the first time I've seen a living FBI agent in the United States."
I've seen an FBI undercover agent in Japan before.
He should have escaped by now... right?
She remembered that in the original plot, Shuichi Akai was finally exposed.
But he's still alive, and he's returned to Japan to fight the organization...
So lively.
Judy returned the handshake and explained with a smile, "Really? Because of novels, movies, and TV shows, most people have a stereotype of the FBI, thinking they're cold and unscrupulous. But I assure you, the real FBI isn't like that. We make our own friends and live our own lives."
Although her colleague who looks like a serial killer is not convincing at all.
Judy sighed inwardly.
Why are all her teammates so unfriendly?
Shuichi doesn't look like a good person either...
And ever since she went undercover in that organization, Judy felt as if he had been marinated. Even when he was doing righteous things and eating the country's food, he would exude murderous aura from time to time.
A cold face can stop a child from crying at night.
So did Kim Bonnar. Judy had always felt there was something wrong with this colleague of hers, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what.
Maybe it's because every time he handles a case, he empathizes with the murderer from the murderer's perspective and uses this to make a profile... Every time Jin does a profile, he doesn't look like a normal person.
But to be fair, they are all very reliable colleagues at work.
It was precisely because Judy and Kim Bonnar had basically only come into contact at work and had only seen his "inhuman" side that she felt particularly curious when she accidentally glimpsed the "human" side of her colleague.
Therefore, she became even more curious about Lin Xi, Jin's friend.
"No, I think you guys are pretty cool." Lin Xi said with a look of longing, "Agents. I want to be an agent too. It must be very interesting."
Hiroki Sawada and June Sugishima looked at each other with subtle expressions.
Sister Lin is an agent?
It’s hard to imagine what the painting style will be like.
What if the official organization asks Sister Lin to work overtime and annoys her? She will probably defect immediately and blow up the base, right?
"Is Miss Lin traveling to the United States?"
Lin Xi nodded: "How did Miss Judy know?"
Judy Stelling pushed up her glasses. "The little doll hanging on your bag was given to you by the airline."
"Oh." Lin Xi laughed: "As expected of the FBI! They observe very carefully."
"I think this gift goes well with my bag."
"This time, I brought my sister from Japan to meet my friends. This is my sister, her name is Huihara Ai. These are my friends, Sawada Hiroki and Sugishima Jun'e... They are studying in the United States and have already graduated."
"Already graduated?"
Judy Stelling could not hide her surprise.
"They are both little geniuses." Lin Xi said with a little pride, "Hongshu graduated from MIT, and Junjie graduated from the University of California."
They are all babies raised by her!
Ahem, even though she is absent most of the time, she is still her baby!
Judy Stelling felt more and more that Lin Xi and his group were not simple.
Anyone who is surrounded by geniuses must have his own strengths.
Adhering to the principle of "one more friend means more paths", Judy exchanged contact information with Lin Xi and enthusiastically told her that she could contact her at any time if she encountered any trouble in the United States.
In the United States, the FBI is the local tyrant and no one is afraid of it.
Lin Xi agreed with a smile and added Judy on her flip phone.
After the venue was cleaned up and the murderer was taken away, the press conference of "Cocoon" finally continued.
But the FBI was not interested in "Cocoon". After saying goodbye to Lin Xi, Judy Stelling and Kim Bonnar left Schindler Company.
.
On the way.
Judy tried to hold it in for a long time, but she couldn't help herself and asked Jin beside her: "You and that girl, how did you know each other?"
Jin didn't look away: "We just met."
Judy:?
"Today? Just met?"
Jin: “Yeah.”
Judy: ???
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
This guy must have come to watch the press conference because he knew that the girl was in Schindler's company.
You know, he usually has no interest in this kind of technological product!
Wait, could it be...
"You..." Judy hesitated, and finally spoke:
“Do you really know what friends mean?”
Could it be that he treated that girl as a guinea pig for his psychological experiment?
The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes.
Apart from the cases that interest him, this colleague of hers is extremely indifferent to everything. According to Judy's observation, he does not have a normal social circle.
It was hard to imagine him having any friends, even though the girl was indeed very approachable and even she liked her very much... but it was still hard to imagine.
"A friend," the white-haired man said calmly, "is someone you know well and like very much, but not usually a family member." (Note 1)
"Please!" Judy frantically said, "I'm not asking you about the definition in the Cambridge Dictionary! I'm talking about that kind of friend! Someone you can share your life with and exchange feelings with in normal interpersonal relationships!"
"I'm asking, do you really consider that girl a friend?"
Jin paused slightly.
Then he turned around and told Judy in clear and serious words:
"I know her well. I like her very much. She's not a member of my family."
"So, according to the human dictionary definition, she is my friend."
Judy felt the man's seriousness.
At the same time, she also had a real headache:
Why can this colleague of mine accurately analyze the criminal's psychology and make an accurate profile, but is unable to see clearly into his own psychology?
He is almost like a child when it comes to the relationships that arise around him.
Oh my god…
For the sake of Lin Xi's safety and her colleague's mental health, Judy decided to ask a few more questions.
Even if these issues are beyond the scope of normal communication between colleagues.
"Would you hurt your friends?"
Jin quickly said, "No."
He won't hurt her.
but……
He didn't want her to hurt herself.
"Even if your friend's behavior disappoints you?" Judy continued.
"...I will correct her in my own way." Jin said.
Judy felt a little relieved.
Yes, although my colleague doesn’t look very human and has a unique understanding of friends, at least he seems to be taking this relationship seriously.
Judy felt relieved and a sense of relief welled up in her heart:
"That's great! That girl is very pretty and seems to have a good personality..."
Colleagues can finally have normal interpersonal relationships!
Jin nodded: "She is indeed very good."
"Also, her appearance was perfect for the Ripper's target."
"There's no one more suitable as 'bait' than her."
Judy:?
She stopped in her tracks.
His fists clenched.
She wanted to take back everything she had just said.
This guy doesn't know what a friend is!!!
What normal person would use a friend as bait, put them in danger, and say such things in such a matter-of-fact tone!
Over there, Jin continued, "According to my profile, the Ripper has a fixed residence. His activities would not be too large, and would revolve around his residence."
"As long as she's allowed to move within the Ripper's range and be noticed by him, given her perfect conditions, the murderer will definitely not let her go..."
Kim nimbly dodged Judy's incoming punch.
He distanced himself from Judy and looked at her calmly, not showing any surprise at his companion's sudden attack.
"Kim Bonnar! Lin Xi is an ordinary person traveling to America!" Judy shouted, "We can't involve ordinary people in this!"
"How can you guarantee that she won't get hurt?"
"Besides, as her friend, you should care about her safety!"
Jin looked at the angry Judy, his eyes still calm, only slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
"I said, I know her. She is smart enough and strong enough."
"It's just a 'Ripper'... it can't hurt her."
I haven't seen her for a long time. Except for not remembering those things in the past, she is still the same as before, confident, strong, and likes to be in control of the overall situation.
Perhaps, sensing other people's emotions and taking advantage of other people's psychology has become an instinct ingrained in her bones - even when facing him, a "stranger" who knows her.
Hand her the coffee and get him to accept her small request, and that way, he'll be more likely to agree to future requests.
For example, getting to know each other again and becoming new friends.
A simple psychological tactic. Did she notice it herself?
Jin shook the cold coffee in his hand.
"How can you be sure she is that powerful?" Judy continued to ask.
When she saw the smile on her colleague's face, she didn't feel the atmosphere eased at all, but only became more terrifying.
Most people seem more inaccessible when they have a cold face, but become more approachable when they smile; but Kim Bonnar is just the opposite.
He is already very distant when he is not smiling, and even more terrifying when he smiles, with that creepy inhuman feeling even stronger.
"Judy," Jin said with a smile, "You've only known her for less than two hours, and you're already subconsciously defending her in front of a colleague you've worked with for two years."
"Is this usually how you act, Judy?"
