The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

After Jack finished speaking, Jubal's expression looked a little bitter, "You are right, but I thought that as a psychologist, you would express it in a more tactful way."

"Because you don't need a psychiatrist, and I don't charge by the hour. I even treated you to a meal as a friend."

Jack won't be able to get his master's degree until next year, and by then he can barely make up for his last shortcoming.

By the way, in the United States, a master's degree is the minimum academic qualification to become a officially licensed clinical psychologist. The requirements may be more stringent than a doctorate. You need to accumulate at least 3,000+ hours of clinical experience under supervision, and there are many more. Few very specific requirements.

It is foreseeable that Jack will continue his studies in the future. He has not yet decided whether to choose a PhD or become a PsyD, but he must study.

PhD is the so-called "Doctor of Philosophy". It does not mean that you really want to study philosophy. It is just a type of doctorate. To be precise, it should be called an academic doctorate.

There are academic types, and there are also professional types. This type can also be called "taught doctorate", which is more practical. For example, a doctorate in psychology is called PsyD (Doctor of Psychology).

The issue of academic qualifications seems to be the same everywhere. If ability and interpersonal relationships are the driving force for advancement, then academic qualifications are the ladder and can also be seen as the height of the ceiling.

Jubal really doesn't need any psychological counseling, nor does he need anyone to tell him what to do. All he needs is the support of a friend.

"I can't guarantee anything, but since you took the initiative to mention that old case, it is equivalent to opening the scar with your own hands. The leadership of the matter after that is neither in your hands nor in my hands."

The reason why Jack spent most of the day today on Jubal's old case was not only to find out the doubts, but also to confirm whether he had made any mistakes in the process of solving the case.

Although everyone knows that this wanted group is a special task force created by Dana Moge to retain someone, the nominal boss is Jubal.

Jack didn't want to lose the detective in charge before his team was officially established, but he also didn't want to see his future partner be someone who would do anything to solve the case.

In the final analysis, he and Jubal did not get along long enough, or the friendship between the two parties was not enough to fully understand each other.

From another perspective, this is not entirely a bad thing. He has now basically determined that Jubal did not make any mistakes in this case, at least in terms of procedures. Of course, the incident of secretly drinking during the interrogation must be removed.

With this premise, the problem is actually not too big. Even if it is later confirmed that it was indeed an unjust case, the impact will not be too serious.

Jubal confessed everything to Jack, naturally with a hint of asking for help, but Jack couldn't promise something right away, even if there were two big guys standing behind him, some things were even just a matter of words.

Whether it's money or favors, casually vouching for others is an extremely immature and even irrational act, but he has no intention of sitting idly by.

"My previous suggestion is to forget about McMay for the time being and concentrate on the current case. Of course, in order to avoid certain past events from recurring, you'd better go back to the new office with me in the evenings. I will put away any information containing... Alcoholic stuff.”

Jack finally suggested helplessly. He originally wanted to take the girl back to the dormitory, but ended up taking an old man with him. He was doing his best for his friend.

Jubal was thinking too much and his mood was not right. In order to avoid some vulgar plots, Jack could only temporarily adopt this strategy. At the same time, this could be regarded as a disguised promise.

Early the next morning, as soon as Jubal arrived at the Federal Building, he went to Dana Moge's office, and when he came out, he was in a much better mood.

But soon everyone's mood soured as another body turned up, this time of course not in Central Park, which was now filled with workers and construction machinery and half of the area was closed off.

New York State Police found the body of a woman in her twenties, tied with wires and without clothing, in a woods near a lake in northern Westchester.

Jack immediately took Hannah, Jie Jie and Aubrey to the scene. When they arrived, the state police had surrounded the woods around the crime scene.

A shy old police sergeant with a beer belly received the four FBI. While stroking his chin that looked like a carefully groomed beard, he introduced the situation to the four FBI.

"The identity of the deceased should match a missing person reported last night, but we have to wait for further confirmation with his family. The cause of death seems to be strangulation. I noticed the notice issued by your FBI, so I contacted you as soon as possible. them.”

Several people stepped on the thick leaf litter and humus soil in the woods. Although it was close to the hot summer, the temperature and humidity in the woods made people involuntarily get goosebumps.

"Are there any snakes here?" Aubrey walked very carefully, even a little tremblingly.

"Of course, but most of them are non-venomous, mainly garter snakes." The old police chief looked at him with a smile as he looked at people in the city.

The scientific name of the garter snake is the garter snake. It has several obvious stripes on its body. At first glance, it may make people think it is highly venomous. It likes to live in wetland environments. It is very common in areas north of New York and is more widely distributed in Canada.

Those who like to watch horror movies may be familiar with the sound of this kind of snake. As the temperature rises every year and enters the courtship period, this kind of snake will make a chirping sound, which is very similar to the clicking sound made when pebbles are struck. When a person is nervous, it is easy to hear it as footsteps.

After walking with the old police chief in the woods for nearly 20 minutes, everyone finally saw the body in a creek nearly one kilometer away from the road.

The creek was both narrow and deep, probably because there hadn't been much rain recently, and it was closer to a nearly dry ditch. The body lay naked at the bottom of the creek, with gurgling water flowing under and on both sides.

Jack couldn't help but feel something in his heart. The deceased had obviously been violated. The environment was different now underwater, and the time of death was very short, maybe even less than 12 hours, which meant that the DNA in her body was likely to be well preserved.

He squatted down by the stream and carefully observed the condition of the corpse. The binding method was the same as the three corpses found in Central Park. The only difference was that the murderer did not tie heavy objects on the feet of the corpse.

"We also found obvious dragging marks nearby, extending all the way to here." The old detective pointed at a mud mark beside the creek.

"I speculate that the murderer dragged her all the way from the car parked on the road. He may have originally wanted to throw her into the lake, but for some unknown reason, he finally left her here. Maybe she was hit by something. I'm scared, or I'm too tired."

"Thank you, your discovery is very helpful to us." Jack thanked the experienced old detective and began to test his teammates.

"Then use your imagination and talk about your ideas."

Hannah was the first to express her thoughts, "Well, check the surveillance at the surrounding intersections. There is a highway nearby, and the crime occurred at night. There are not many vehicle samples for screening, and there are not many vehicle samples that have been in and out of Central Park before. Make comparisons and save a lot of time.”

"Not a bad idea, any more?" Jack nodded in agreement.

Jiejie squatted by the stream and shined a flashlight on the body. After observing it carefully for a long time, she asked with some uncertainty, "If the body was indeed dragged all the way, there should be serious bruises on such a long journey, but at present At least you can’t see it from the upward side.”

"So the murderer should have used some kind of wrapping, plastic sheeting or something like that, and took it away very carefully afterwards." Aubrey quickly answered.

"So what does this mean?" Jack continued.

Aubrey hesitated and glanced at Jiejie. After all, this was her discovery. If she continued talking, she would be stealing the limelight.

Jiejie smiled and spread her hands, saying that she really hadn't figured it out yet, but it didn't matter.

"This means that even if we cannot find DNA samples in the body, we may be able to find fragments of the package on the drag marks along the way. Plastic is one of the best carriers of DNA traces, and the murderer is likely to leave traces on it. What to do?" Aubrey analyzed with excitement.

"Good idea. I have a hunch that since the murderer was so careful, there may not be enough DNA evidence found on the body. Your idea may be the key to solving the case." After Jack said this, he took out his cell phone and called CSI's Mike Taylor.
