As the truth about Beverly's murder gradually emerged, the police finally captured the main suspects Benjamin and Frank.The investigation process of the case was full of hardships and twists and turns, but in the end justice defeated evil.

After torture, Frank and Benjamin revealed the truth of the case like squeezing toothpaste under unbearable pain.It turned out that on that fateful night, Benjamin tried to have a relationship with Beverly, but was rejected by her.Feeling rejected, Benjamin knocked Beverly unconscious and tied her up in anger.At this time, he was at a loss and could only turn to Frank.However, Frank took the opportunity to rape Beverly.Shockingly, Benjamin did not stop the rape from happening, but wanted to see Beverly humiliated.

Afterwards, both men realized they were in huge trouble.In order to get out of trouble, they actually decided to kill Beverly.When Ross, Beverly's sister, arrived to clean up the crime scene, she found Beverly still alive in the bathtub.An angry Benjamin stabbed Beverly several times, ended her life, and dumped her body in a garbage dump.However, a few days later, Benjamin still couldn't let go and went back to the garbage dump to humiliate Beverly's body and cut off her breasts for collection.

The truth finally came out, but sadly, the district attorney insisted on trying Benjamin first.Despite Holden's efforts to explain Frank's danger to the prosecutor, the prosecutor persisted in his position.In the end, Benjamin was found to be the main person responsible and faced a long prison sentence, while Frank was released after only a few years in prison.This result made Holden and Bill deeply dissatisfied. They believed that such a trial result did not truly reflect judicial fairness.

After the case was over, Bill invited Holden to his home for dinner.At the dinner table, Holden meets Bran, a child adopted by Bill from the orphanage.Blaine is very autistic, never smiling no matter what happens, and refuses to communicate with anyone, including Bill.This also affected Bill's relationship with his wife.

Meanwhile, Wendy returns to the university where she originally worked and starts dating gay people.During the conversation, she revealed that Holden's boss, Shepard, had sent her an invitation to join the FBI as a psychological research consultant.Although her lover expressed concerns about this and believed that she should stay in teaching at the university and spend more time with him, Wendy finally made up her mind to quit her job as a university professor and switch to a full-time consultant position with the FBI.

In many conversations with Ed Kemper, Rissel and others, Holden concluded that the root causes of crime are often related to family education in early childhood.He believes that all research will be meaningless if effective communication cannot be established with the people who really matter.In this context, Dr. Wendy recommended a special prisoner-Jerome Brudos to Holden and Bill.He is a transvestite murderer who likes to collect women's shoes.To gain insight into his psychological motivations and background, Holden and Bill immediately pack their bags and head to Oregon to visit this unique prisoner.
