[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

Chapter 70 [Case 5] Nevada Killer

"It's been rough lately," Harris said, taking a sip of his beer.

They were in a tavern open at night.

"Did you see Interpol coming? I know that many forces have gathered here recently." Harris wondered, "It just started this month, something that has never happened before!"

"This is obviously Tanaka's territory, but I think Tanaka has always followed Kawaguchi's orders." The two Japanese names, Harris, are a bit awkward to pronounce.

"Well, I seem to be looking for a suspicious person who appeared here recently. I heard that it seems to be related to some serial shootings." Leo went fishing.

"Drink! I also heard about the shooting!" Harris wiped the froth from the corner of his mouth: "As for the suspicious person who came recently..."

Leo: "You know?"

Harris was slightly scrupled: "I heard that there is a man named Torres. However, it is probably not his real name."

"How do you know?" the little doctor interjected.He felt that Harris' expression was not as simple as knowing the name of the person, but he looked like he had seen it before.

"I met once. It was in the hotel where you were staying." Harris poured another beer.

"It seems that this person is not simple!" Harris said: "He has a beard and is very low-key. He looks very ordinary. But, you know, people who work like us..." He pointed to himself and Leo: "I'm too familiar with the breath of this kind of person! It looks like someone who has killed someone."

The little doctor was overjoyed, probably this Torres... After so long, he finally knew who had the chip.Otherwise, this is a killer, after all, it has something to do with this case.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Leo asked.

The little doctor looked at Leo with a greeting, but didn't understand what it meant.

Harris sighed: "I don't know, let's fight in another place...Actually, I want to find a stable job. I don't know what will happen in the future..."

"Aren't you going back to Kawaguchi?" Reid asked Harris strangely, not understanding what he was worried about.

"I can't go back!" Harris looked at the little doctor and smiled: "Go home quickly. Society is not as simple as you think. Kawaguchi will not want a boxer who loses, it is obviously embarrassing for him. Besides, Even if we go back, life will not be easy.”

Leo nodded in understanding.He just knows that and tries to see if he can get something out of Harris' mouth.Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to approach Harris rashly.That would have resulted in Harris telling Kawaguchi about their conversation today. Harris was a big fool, but Kawaguchi clearly wasn't.

When Leo and Reid returned to the hotel again, they found that they obviously couldn't get in.

There is a yellow cordon around the door, and the white pink line outlines the shape of a person on the ground.The blood stains on the ground were still not cleaned.

The police lights flickered, creating a tense atmosphere.

Tim and Hotch got out of the car and saw Leo and Reid standing side by side.

The four passed by pretending to be strangers to each other. When Tim missed each other, he reached out and gestured for a gun.

The big lion understands, another shooting case.I can only hope that the one who died is definitely not that Torres.Otherwise, the clue should be broken again.

The little doctor clings to Leo's body, and the two look like a couple.

Hotch couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching.I really want to tear the little doctor off the big lion.

"Did you see anything suspicious?" Emily, who got out of the car later, asked dutifully, also without any sign of familiarity with each other.

"We just came back. Didn't see anything." Leo answered honestly.

"We suspect it has something to do with the serial shootings in Las Vegas." Rossi stepped forward and said, "If you have any clues or think of anything, you can contact us." He handed Leo a photo of himself business card.

Good guy, now they can finally communicate openly.The little doctor thought happily.

Leo looked dissatisfied: "What does it have to do with us?"

"Don't you live here? We suspect that the murderer completed the sniping in this building." Rossi said.In fact, they are telling Leo and Dr. Xiao the news of this case in a disguised form.

The little doctor still nodded obediently: "We heard that there is a man named Torres who lives in this hotel. It's a bit suspicious." Reid used the same method to pass the news.

As for whether this Torres has that chip or is a killer, that's not something they need to judge.The remaining BAU colleagues and Interpol like Tim can handle it.

Reid thinks their "undercover mission" should be over.But Leo and Rossi are obviously not raised here.After all, there was something wrong with the secretive Tanaka and the gloomy Kawaguchi.Moreover, Leo just heard that Tanaka is under Kawaguchi's order.If there is no shady problem between the two people, then why is it necessary to declare that the two are friends, but in fact the two are in a superior-subordinate relationship?

So, the little doctor had to follow the big lion back to the hotel depressed.In fact, it’s not that Reid dislikes the poor conditions here. He was excited about the undercover experience, but Reid found a serious problem, that is, spring is here... Now Reid wants to go back to the single room where the BAUs stayed. ...

The big lion seemed to have guessed what Reid was thinking, and laughed wickedly, with bad images flashing in his head.The fluffy little doctor is simply too tempting!

Reid suddenly felt that his ears were burning, and looked at Leo suspiciously.

"Why did Darwin appear in Las Vegas?" On the bed, the little doctor tried to distract Leo.

Leo walked on the little doctor's body with a mobile game with gun cocoons, the touch is so smooth!

"We can think about that tomorrow. Focus now."

Reid bit the quilt depressed.

"Why is Darwin in Las Vegas?" The next morning, the little doctor was lying on the bed, and this was the first thing he said when he woke up.

Leo: "..." Should he be jealous of Darwin?After all, this person seems to be a bit too important to the little doctor...

"I don't think it's a coincidence." Leo got out of bed and threw away the clothes that were scattered everywhere - wasn't he too anxious last night.

"Admiral Bob mentioned that there is a serial killer who is doing research... Could Darwin be one of the test subjects?" Reid asked.

"I think it's more likely that Darwin came to the door by himself." Leo analyzed: "It's more likely that St. Su Marie's twin case was fabricated. Especially the seemingly innocent marry.gash."

Reid nodded, thinking it made sense.The little girl was probably led by someone, and then came up with this idea.

"Let's meet Tanaka tonight to see what kind of relationship he has with Kawaguchi. It's mysterious."

The little doctor screamed and was thrown down again.

"What do you think if I sneak in and see?" Tim held a cigarette, but didn't light it.An earphone hung on his chest, and the music of gunn'rose could be heard vaguely.

Hotch looked out the window, not at the lazy Tim. "No, you've been exposed."

"Tanaka knows that I am Interpol, let alone stop my investigation." Tim didn't care.

BAU and Interpol got together to discuss how to find Torres.

"You represent BAU, not Interpol." Tim raised his chin slightly and gave Hotch a provocative smile. "Show your hands. Raise your hands if you agree."

The Interpol obviously followed Tim's lead, and raised their hands in a "swipe" manner.

There was of course no movement from the BAU. Rossi frowned, and Morgan disapproved. Emily hesitated, thinking that it was actually a good idea, but it was too dangerous.

The worst thing is that the number of Interpol clearly has an advantage.

"That means it's agreed? I'll meet that Torres. See what he has." Tim stood up happily.

Hotch's lips moved as if he wanted to say something.He wanted to tell Tim, don't go.But in the end the words stuck in his throat.

Tim whistled against the bright Las Vegas sun during the day, and appeared at the hotel door.

Everyone who passes the door looks back.Not only because of Tim, a handsome man, but also because the cordon at the door that has not been removed is too conspicuous.

"Yo, isn't this Jack?" Tim said maliciously.

Leo stopped walking towards him, and the little doctor opened his mouth in surprise—is it really good for the Interpol to appear in such a high-profile den of criminals?

"Oh, you... what's the matter? Did you bring your lackey over here again?" Leo asked with a drawn out voice.

Tim shrugged and said indifferently: "You'd better not do anything, it's not good for me to stick my nose at your end."

Leo smirked: "Of course, officer."

Tanaka stood behind Kawaguchi, and the monitor in front of him recorded the whole process of the meeting between the two and gave them a truthful feedback.

"It's interesting." Kawaguchi fixed his eyes on Leo on the screen.

Tanaka didn't dare to speak, and arched his body slightly.Thinking of Chuan □□sheng dismembering a living person last night, I felt a little breathless.Tanaka regretted that he followed Kawaguchi back then, but that's the end of the matter...

"Ned Herrant hasn't moved much recently, it's really abnormal." Kanoge called Tim: "Fourth, my father and I feel that the situation may have exceeded expectations. Nied Herrant may officially reconcile the Pazzi family and the Borgia The family is right. Otherwise, you should stay outside and come back quickly."

"My surname is Hort, Kanoge." Tim made the relationship clear in one sentence.

"Hey, father still misses you very much." Kanoge sighed silently.

"That's it." Tim hung up the phone.

According to the profile of BAU and the news from Leo and Rei, Torres should be hiding in this dilapidated small hotel.It should be a gloomy and low-key man with whiskers.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be easy to find a man with this characteristic in the den of criminals.However, the moment Tim passed by a man in black in the corridor, Tim knew that this man was Torres!

The moment they passed by, Tim felt a long-lost shudder, as if all the cells in his body jumped with excitement.The blood was rushing in the veins and hitting the eardrums, and Tim felt like he was temporarily deaf.

The corridors of the hotel were covered with dirty, worn carpets, but enough to dampen the sound of footsteps.

Tim turned his head and looked at the man who continued to walk behind him. He looked gloomy like a ghost, as if he could disappear at any time and blend into the surrounding background.

Tim whistled again, a short Celtic ballad with unknown shallow sadness.

Tim thought of the warm embrace of his mother who died young, his gloomy father who had a desire to control power, his excellent brothers, and himself who would only embrace sex... The bright colors in his childhood faded one by one, and he was alone. One person goes on the road, behind is the manor of the Pazzi family that has been passed down for a hundred years, and the gate is closed.

This time it is estimated that it is a strong opponent! Tim thought, putting on the headphones again, gunn'rose. knock at heaven's door.When will I be able to knock on the door of heaven?

"Ha, Mr. Tanaka, it's been a long time." Tim imitated the way the Japanese are used to, and bowed stiffly.

Tanaka's complexion was not very good, he should have seen that Tim was laughing at him.

"Officer." He said hello dryly.I returned a salute.Just now he received a call from Interpol, directly saying that he would come to see the situation.As a "legitimate businessman", Tanaka had no choice but to agree.

Originally, Tanaka could find various reasons to refuse Interpol's snooping, but unfortunately, Mr. Kawaguchi, who was standing beside him at that time, nodded to him and signaled Tanaka to come down.Tanaka had no choice but to accept this hot potato.However, I still couldn't help muttering in my heart, thinking that Kawaguchi is becoming more and more strange now, and his thoughts are beyond his own ability to guess.

"Let me know if you need anything. I'm a businessman." Tanaka said to Tim with a smirk.

Tim rolled his eyes, he is not an idiot, why can't he see that Tanaka wants to put someone beside him to monitor his actions... But: "That's the best, you know that I'm not alone Easy to investigate."

Leo and the little doctor wandered around the street.

"Aren't you really planning to come here to wander around!" Reid couldn't hold back, and asked first.

"What do you think?" Leo said slyly, and then saw the little doctor's eyes narrowed, and quickly said: "Darwin won't be able to stop committing crimes. You know, the persistence of serial killers!"

Reid rolled his eyes and bared his teeth at Leo: "Of course I know... such as your current behavior! According to the nature of serial killers, they will not easily give up their prey, especially a strong and strong killer. Never stop chasing prey until you encounter extreme obstacles."

Leo looked at the little doctor with a smile: "Aren't you afraid? You don't intend to expose me?"

Reid is helpless: "Leo, you have to know that everyone has a Batman-like character in their hearts... That's why there are so many superhero movies... Rossi believes in you, and Lieutenant General Bob also came to you for help. I think that's enough. It's not you who are endangering ordinary people in society, and that's enough."

With a knowing smile, Leo knew that his little doctor would not be obsessed with this righteous question forever.The human sense of justice is actually quite weak, just a wooden leg.

"So, we're here to find Darwin?" Reid asked.

"Of course, a qualified serial killer will not give up his goal easily, that's what you said."

"But you can't do anything, you have to swear, there won't be another Michelle!" Reid thought of the scapegoat that Leo pulled.

"You have to look at me." Leo smiled happily.

"Michelle may not be as innocent as you think. The rotxxchild family has always been uninterested in not waking up early, and there is no reason to invite Michelle. I always thought it was the Discipline Gang who did it, but now I'm not sure. Things are getting more and more troublesome." Leo told little doctor.

"Maybe you're right." Reid squinted his eyes to enjoy the sunshine that Washington couldn't feel, looking like a cat basking in the sun.

"We should look for the report, see if there is a missing McBlonde girl." The serial killer's target is not easy to change.

Leo took out his cell phone and called Rossi.

Rossi and the others have already investigated this aspect again. "No, no. I don't think it's normal either," Rossi replied. Garcia checked local police records, but there were no matching missing persons.

"How did he hold it back? No murder?" Reid was puzzled.

"Who gave him good advice? Temporarily hidden? It's not easy to convince such a person." Leo said.

Morgan's voice came from the phone: "Don't hide your words! Speak English!"

Turns out Rossi turned on the speakerphone.

Leo touched his nose, "It's because your IQ is too low."

Morgan's growling voice faded away, probably being pulled away.

"You mean who did Darwin meet?" Rossi asked sharply. Rossi doesn't know what news Admiral Bob gave Leo.

"I think so." Leo said.He kept his promise and didn't say that Lieutenant General Bob would hand over the task of course, but it has nothing to do with him if Rossi guessed something, right?

Reid grinds his teeth, the big lion is too cunning!

"You think Darwin's hooked up with the serial killer?" If that's the case, it's easy to follow.

Leo nodded, and once again cursed Tim in his heart for being non-stop.The situation was so dangerous, Tim actually gave the little doctor an invitation letter on behalf of the Pazzi family to watch the fun, and led Reid to Las Vegas!

Looking at the excited expression of the little doctor, the big lion knew that this guy who had no sense of crisis had already started planning an investigation plan.
