Having used the Profile Card, there was a refreshing, comprehensive feeling, giving a deeper understanding of profiling skills.

Eight in the morning.
"Ring ring..." A cellphone ringtone sounded.
Luke had studied late last night, yawned as he pressed the answer button, "Hello."
Reid's voice ca from the phone, "Luke, Barbara woke up."（The bully's girlfriend）
"When?"
"Just now."
Luke suddenly woke up, "Got it, I'm heading to the hospital now."
"You owe a big al."
"No problem." Luke hung up the phone, then called Xiao Hei, asking him to pick him up.
After quickly freshening up, he left the house.
...
Naidasi Hospital.
Barbara had just been moved from the intensive care unit to room 709.
Barbara was a white girl with long brown hair, looking sowhat pale, with her parents standing on either side of the bed.
Luke entered the room and explained his purpose.
Barbara's father seed a bit resistant, "Sorry, Barbara is still quite weak, I hope we can give her more ti to recover."
Luke said, "I understand your feelings, but Barbara is the only survivor of the school shooting, she's a lucky girl, but the others..."
Barbara choked up, "Is Chad Clays dead too?"
"Yes, I am here to ask about Chad Clays."
"Oh my God, that's terrifying," Barbara started crying.
Barbara's father urged, "Baby, don't get upset, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, Detective Chief, please step outside."
Barbara shouted, "No, I want to talk to the Detective Chief, I have sothing to say."
"Baby, you need to rest now."
Barbara shook her head, "I can't."
"OK, baby, don't get upset," Barbara's father appeared helpless, looking towards Luke, "Please be quick."
"I will." Luke sat down on the stool next to Barbara's bed, "Barbara, were you the first one shot?"
"I guess so, everything was normal around before I got shot, after the shooting, everything was chaos, people were running wildly, I felt soone even stepped on , I thought I was going to die."
"Did you see the shooter?"
"No, it happened too suddenly. At that ti, Josie had gone to the bathroom, I was on the phone with my boyfriend Chad, discussing about going to the movies that evening, and then I was shot."
"Do you know about Chad getting shot?"
Barbara choked, "Yes, I saw it all, it was horrible, they were trying to save , it shouldn't have happened like that."
"What exactly happened then?"
"Bowen."
After I was shot, there were constant gunshots around, everyone was afraid and ran away, nobody cared about whether I lived or died.
Bowen was the first one to co to my side, trying to save , he used clothes from my backpack to stop the bleeding, and he even woke up from being unconscious...
Just then, an accident happened.
Chad also ca, he misunderstood Bowen, kicked Bowen away, he was also holding a stick, and then..." Barbara started crying, as if reluctant to recall further.
After a while, she continued, "I heard two gunshots, Bowen fired, he killed Chad, sob…" Barbara started crying again, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, they were both trying to help , it shouldn't have been like this.
I always told Chad he should change his bad temper, but he just wouldn't listen to ."
Luke confird, "So you an Chad attacked Bowen first, and then the latter fired the shots?"
"I don't know if it counts as an attack, Chad just kicked Bowen, and then it all happened."
"Did Chad often bully people?"
"Chad's personality was rather playful, often pulling pranks, he and Bowen were quite familiar, he often treated Bowen like this before, but I never expected this ti..."
Luke pressed, "Why did Chad kick Bowen?"
"He probably thought Bowen was trying to hurt , I'm not very sure, anyway, it just happened like that."
"What did Bowen do afterwards?"
"I passed out after that, I don't know anything."
"Are you and Josie Alisa good friends?"
"Yes."
"Was there any sign before you were shot?"
"I don't rember anything."
"I heard that Josie was harassed before, do you rember that?"
"Yes, Josie is very attractive, with a great figure, many boys wanted to sleep..."
Realizing her parents were present, Barbara stopped and closed her mouth, "There was a guy nad Theodore, once drunk, he hugged her on the football field."
"Did she date Theodore?"
"Of course not, Josie's standards are high, she would never settle for him."
"I'd like you to identify the other shooting victims, see if there's anyone you recognize." Luke showed her photos, one by one.
"Lev Kaufte, the running back for the football team; Holip Harding, a star player on the football team; Herman Vied, the annoying guy from the student council, he loved to show off, they were all well-known students, were they all victims?"
"Lev is dead, the other two were injured."
"That's horrible, the last ti I saw Lev was when he was running on the field, his build was rather slim for the football team, but he was fearless, never afraid of those stronger than him.
