[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

The banquet hall of the M Hotel was decorated magnificently tonight.Crystal chandeliers illuminate the French-style hall.The banquet designer obviously got full inspiration from this palace-style building—the wine-red velvet drapes were hung high and dragged to the wool carpet imported from the Czech Republic, making the space interval more and more like a maze. At the same time, it can also provide a quiet and undisturbed space for leisurely conversations for incoming guests.The rococo-style sofa is particularly large, enough for an adult to lie down and rest.Darker tones absorb light and heighten the contrast in the ballroom – darker for darker, brighter for more dramatic.

Of course, food and wine are essential!Dark purple grapes, bright red cherries, orange oranges... Large plates of barbecue, foie gras and caviar, the food is packed into exquisite containers, making it worth a hundred times... The rich food directly weighs down the long table Straight hum.

The forces and influences in Las Vegas are intricate, gangsters, big families, politicians and dignitaries... Their tentacles are all over this city of sin, and their octopus-like arms are entwined in every high-end building in this bustling city that never sleeps, dividing each other. sphere of influence.

M Hotel, obviously there is a grand banquet tonight.The various popular performances in the hall have quietly disappeared today.The stars who were highly sought after on weekdays all left the curtain one after another.They are no longer standing on a high stage tonight, stepping on the red carpet, superior idols worshiped by the people, they can only be used as a dance partner without an invitation, as a subsidiary, re-entering this newly decorated in the hall.

Time seems to flow back to the court of Louis XIV era.

The beauties have bright eyes, and their eyes are full of water.All kinds of evening dresses set off their tall and plump figures.They are everywhere in this banquet hall, like the ones used as decorations—the flowers that are carefully pruned, plucked, and placed in vases are alluring, but they have no foundation at all.

And those protagonists arrived late when all the guests had already arrived.However, no one cares about their obviously impolite behavior—generally, as the host of the host, it is necessary to greet the guests at the door.However, at this moment, no one dared to accuse them of being rude.

When they descended the spiral staircase, the audience burst into applause after a moment of silence.It seemed that what they welcomed was not a group of men in suits with cold faces, but a group of big stars who stepped onto the Hollywood red carpet.

"Leon, I think you're going to be late." Yalin pushed open the door after knocking lightly.

The freak of the Habsburg family still maintains the look he had just left to change into his evening dress—holding red wine, standing by the window, as if admiring the bright lights of Las Vegas at night.It's just that the clothes on Leon's body have been changed to look more formal.His curly black hair was tied behind his head, and his three-piece suit made him look old-fashioned, but very formal.

Such a strict attire makes the lion look more mature.

"Worthy of being from the Austrian family." Yalin sighed, "Perfect demeanor." He watched Leon put down the red wine glass casually, and his laziness looked extraordinarily elegant.

Sure enough, it should be said that if the tiger is drunk with meat, the lion will sleep forever?Only herbivores are in a hurry and spend their lives on the run...

Leo didn't move for a long time, and said, "I think it's right that you did something without telling me."

I didn't pay attention just now, and I have been thinking about the true intentions of the Commandment Gang.You know, this is about reid, and there is no room for negligence.But, thinking about it now, yalin won't just do it for this matter...

Yalin choked for a moment: "Of course not, my dear old friend. I think we should go down. The pazzi's are waiting for us."

The host of this banquet is the pazzi family. Leo's invitation was sent by them. yalin.bargia is also invited.It's just that he found Leon first, and then proposed cooperation.

The pazzi's patriarch stood beside his three sons.All of them looked extraordinary and imposing.Obviously, they all inherited pazzi's usual good looks.

"That old boy from Bargia went to look for the one from the Habsburg family?" After waiting for a long time, the old Patriarch did not show any impatient expression.

"Yes. They have reached an agreement." It was one of his three sons who spoke.They just communicated with Yalin who came out to change the dress for a while.

"Where's the fourth child?" the Patriarch asked.Among several sons, his favorite is the youngest son.This is his old school.And the three elder brothers are much better than the fourth eldest, and they love this younger brother who is ten years younger than himself very much.This is of course a good thing, but... Maybe it's because of being too spoiled, this fourth child is a little out of tune...

"Hey! Dr. Reid!" A voice broke through the noisy crowd and reached Spencer. Reid's ears.

The little doctor turned around in surprise, his eyes were wide open, his cheeks were puffed out, like a little squirrel: "Tim!" Surprise made his voice change a bit. Reid didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here...

"Why are you here?" The two asked each other as soon as they met.

"Eh? I'm here to play... No one stipulates that the FBI can't enter the casino... It's a hard vacation..." After Tim complained, he looked at the little doctor: "So, what are you doing here?"

"I'm just going home. You know, I'll come back to see Dianna." The little doctor lied without blushing or panting.This was an excuse he had thought of a long time ago—it was perfect.Who taught that the invitation just happened to be Las Vegas!If you change the place, reid may have to think about the reason for a long time.

"Oh, you're here, let's try our luck?" A man with gorgeous blond hair came up to drag the little doctor. "I'm not familiar with the place, so you can be a guide! With your IQ, we will be legends in the casino tonight!" Tim was full of good ideas.

"The casino forbids me to enter..." The little doctor refused with another ready-made reason: "I'm on the blacklist of the casino because I can record cards..." Reid made a sad face.

The handsome man on the opposite side was disappointed, and it seemed that even his hair was drooping.

"Then go to Hotel M! There is a dinner party tonight! There should be a lot of delicious food..." Tim changed his suggestion.It seems that he doesn't want to let his colleague who finally met leave.

"Well... don't you need an invitation letter for that kind of high-level banquet?" The little doctor said hesitantly.In fact, this move is exactly in Reid's arms.

"It's okay, you wait, I used to have an informant in Interpol. He has been lurking in the M Hotel in Las Vegas as a receptionist. He is in charge of hosting the venue. I asked him to get us two invitation cards. It's done!" Tim said and started to make a phone call.

In fact, the little doctor has invitations.

Now, the invitation card that was sent to him in a strange way was still in his pocket.However, it would undoubtedly be better if he could enter without using that card.The little doctor is sure that for this level of reception, the invitations must also be divided into grades. Looking at his invitation, gilded lace, valuable paper, and classical design... it probably won't be the same. Kind of low-grade.

The little doctor was worrying about why he sneaked into the M Hotel unobtrusively, and even wondered if he should pretend to be a waiter... Reid is not a fool, could it be that he expects himself to hold that high-standard card? On a sunny day, do you go in swaggeringly?

"Alright then." The little doctor agreed.Although in his heart, he felt a little guilty for taking advantage of his colleagues...but, compared to Tim, the big lion's position in his heart was obviously more important.

"Okay! I'm sorry." Reid silently apologized to Tim in his heart, while thinking, it's better for him to stay away from Tim later, but don't get him hurt because of something, then he will feel even more guilty up.

It is obviously better to go to the reception with a companion, which is more natural and less conspicuous.

After a while, a man in fancy clothes came in front of the M Hotel—pointy leather shoes, suspender trousers, a black turtleneck sweater, and a bohemian scarf—well, look Just a fashion man.

Men's hair, pomaded back, a pale heart-shaped face.

"Okay, if you want to bring your children to play, then go in." The man who looked like a fashionista handed them invitations—as expected, it was not the same as the one in Reid's hand, and twisted Walk away stooped.

"I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't play with you." He waved his hands behind his back, and his words were carried by the wind.

"See? A man who engages in art can't be called a man! So you better leave Leo as soon as possible and follow me!"

The little doctor's answer was to give his colleagues a big roll of the eyes, "You are obviously a bitch!" The little doctor thought to himself, and wisely didn't say it.

"The pazzi family has been waiting for a long time? I thought they should go down first." Leo finally straightened his sleeves in front of the mirror.

"Pazzi and the others did go down first. But you are the main character waiting in their banquet! After all, you should confirm the cooperation project yourself." Yalin said to him.

It sounds like a dinner party, but in fact, it is the place where the masters of these big forces collude with each other, exchange interests and information, reach consensus, and seize benefits.

"A plot by the Pazzi family? I don't like the idea." Leo put on his tie and said to Yalin as he walked out the door. "Their integrity has always been under investigation."

Pazzi's conspiracies have all been written into the novel, which shows how well-known it is. The pazzi family doesn't have a great reputation.However, there are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests-these so-called famous families have always implemented this very well.

Clinking cups and cups, lively and fragrant - this is the feeling of the little doctor when he stepped into the banquet hall of M Hotel.

Women use the appearance of soft words to cover up their inner pursuit of material things; men use a polite appearance to cover up their inner arrogance...

Everyone who comes here may not have a simple purpose.The little doctor looked at his colleagues around him—such a foodie who simply came to join in the fun is really rare on this kind of occasion.

Doesn't even Reid himself have a different purpose?

Who are you, Leo?

Obviously, the first floor of the banquet hall is used for transactions, but it is covered with banquet decorations, while the second floor is a place for the dignitaries to rest—for example, you can have a conversation with someone beautiful The actor or model Spring Breeze Once.

Now, the banquet has just begun, and the second floor has not become a messy state because of this.

The little doctor and Tim, who just sneaked over to find food, stayed at the buffet table, each collected a plate of food, and then prepared to sneak to some secluded place.

The little doctor filled his own plate, and didn't pay attention to what he was loading. His eyes kept scanning back and forth in the banquet hall, hoping to see the big lion.

But it is obviously not very wise to do so. As the little doctor's plate is already full of food, it is obviously impossible to avoid people's eyes by wandering around the hall like this.

So, the little doctor had to prepare to turn back.

Reid looked calmly at the cubicles surrounded by velvet curtains...

"There's a sofa inside, probably for these dignitaries to employ people for secret talks." Reid thought to himself, paying attention to the actions of other people.

Someone went in and drew the curtain from the inside.Maybe it's just telling someone there's someone here.

It seems to be an unspoken rule. The rest of the people, if they are not malicious, will not approach this area again.

For a banquet of this level, of course no one would want to casually offend the guests here.Doing this is not a provocation - if you have the strength, you are courting death - if you don't have the strength.

Therefore, Reid thinks that if he stays here as an unknown person, no one else should break the precept for himself—the conclusion is that it is very safe.

The banquet is just beginning now, so the curtains are of little use.

During this period of time, almost no one chooses to give up the opportunity to get acquainted with each other and talk about some things in secret.Such activities are also kept until after 12 midnight - this is a reserved item.

It only took a few seconds for the little doctor to figure it out, and no one noticed that he was calculating these things.

Then, Reid quietly moved towards the curtain.

Fortunately, the little doctor's actions did not attract anyone's attention.

Reid moved carefully away from Tim who was sitting on a sofa, ready to enjoy his own food.Then, he luckily succeeded.His colleagues only had food in their eyes, and didn't pay attention to his whereabouts at all.

The little doctor quickly hid in the curtain, he pulled down the curtain, leaving only a small gap, and continued to watch the entire dinner hall.The location is learned from the FBI Academy - the corner position with the back against the corner, basically in the dead corner of every place, can ensure that the position is safe, and it is convenient to monitor the whole field, but no one can notice him s position.

"I'm sorry, the fourth child didn't know what to do just now. He hasn't come back from a stroll until now."

After Leo and the head of the Pazzi's family had some worthless greetings, the boss of the Pazzi's family made an apologetic expression to Leo.

Pazzi and the others also know that the relationship between Leo and his fourth child has always been good.As a result, I lost a fourth child here, and it didn't feel right no matter how I looked at it.

Fortunately, Leo didn't care, he just shook his hand casually, signaling that they don't mind.

The little doctor finally saw this big lion now!

This big lion doesn't look like an American at all at this time, his hair is tied back obediently, and the three-piece suit elongates his figure even more slender. inferior.The whole person seemed to be shining brightly.

In this regard, some people showed disdain for Leo and did not speak at all; some exchanged greetings in a hurry, and then stayed away; say.

Reid's brow furrowed.The first kind of people obviously look down on Leo, the second kind of people are holding a wait-and-see attitude, the third kind of people seem to be afraid, and the fourth kind of people just want to please.It is not surprising that a person is treated with different attitudes in a crowd, but the first and fourth attitudes are completely different, and the second and third attitudes are not the attitudes that ordinary people would have... Leo Too strange!

The little doctor has long known that Leo is not simple, but he did not expect that King Kong, a popular and talented painter, would be treated so differently—this is a bit unreasonable.

The little doctor withdrew his eyes from Leo, and scanned the audience again - among them, there might be politicians and business tycoons, and he didn't know what they were planning.If you have any bad thoughts, how easy it is to catch them together!

Then, the little doctor discovered that the colleague who brought him in had disappeared.

The sofa that Tim was sitting on just now is now empty.I don't know where the plate of food went.

The little doctor was a little worried, he always felt that this Tim was a little out of tune.However, Tim and Leo seem to be old acquaintances-although they never admit this fact.Well, this Tim should not be simple...

"Could it be that he offended someone on such an occasion, was beaten and thrown out?" The little doctor thought with anticipation.

The reception soon passed halfway through, and the alcohol made people talk more and heated up the whole atmosphere.

Then, the little doctor found out in an atmosphere that at some point, his big lion actually hugged a woman!

Reid gritted his teeth and watched the two hug each other before walking towards a curtained room!That woman looked familiar, like a little model... Look at the light brown skin, curvy figure, and beautiful blond hair - she is indeed a stunner.

It's a pity that in the film and television industry where beauties come out in abundance, there are many more people who are more beautiful than her.If you want to stand out in one fell swoop, it is impossible for a small person to have no backing.Tonight, she chose a man who looked handsome.Although she could tell from the conversations between the guests and other shadowy figures that many people didn't like this man very much, and some even said that he was an illegitimate child... But she didn't care, she didn't want to marry into a wealthy family and become an aristocrat Ma'am - of course this is her ultimate request... But now, before she becomes famous, she needs a rich man, and that's enough.
