[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

Chapter 72 [Case 5] Nevada Killer

Wooden Legs of Justice 3

After the twelve bells struck, the wall at the entrance of the Little White Church was covered with bullet marks. Tim's figure also disappeared from the doorway.

Under the bulletin board, Tim opened the box of the cello, and the parts became a gun in an instant.The candles in the church hall were burning, and the dim light filled the hall, illuminating the cross in front of Tim.

A stream of blood flowed from the forehead of the crucified Christ and soaked into the closed eyes of Christ.

"Our Father in heaven, may your will be carried out on earth as it is in heaven...for the glory, authority, and kingdom will all belong to you, Amen." Tim held a gun in his right hand, and drew a cross on his chest with his left hand.

Ignoring that a corpse was pierced through the chest by an iron hook, thrown down from the corridor on the second floor, and hung on the head of Christ.

"Kid, is there any news about Tim?" Morgan's voice came from the phone. Morgan was getting ready to get in the car.

Reid sent the recording to Hotch earlier.

"I don't know! What's the matter?" It wasn't that the little doctor valued sex over friends, it was because Leo said Tim would be fine.

"It's already past midnight, and he hasn't heard from him at all. The phone has been turned off after nine o'clock in the evening. The most troublesome thing is that even Garcia can't locate the phone now! Tim may have thrown the phone in the water." Emily's The voice came.

"We have no news about him." Reid was also anxious. Is Leo reliable in speaking?

"Look for Reid, Tim and Leo are very familiar, and the two are in the same way, I will definitely leave a message for Leo." Rossi's voice said.

"Find your room, kid." Hotch's voice came.

The little doctor froze for a moment, the voice was very unsteady, and it sounded a bit intermittent.

"I'm going to find Tim later, Rossi brought the team to you." Hotch said. Hotch tried to calm down his inner unease.But that sense of unease was magnified as time went on.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Reid said and hung up the phone.

The figure at the door is still there. Reid could see the shadow cast by the man's feet on the ground from under the door.Now, Reid feels that if he wants to find the clues left by the so-called Tim, he must solve some interfering factors.

The shadow at the door remained motionless for a long time, making Reid think it was just a shadow.But Reid's courses in the FBI Academy were not in vain.Of course he knew what was going on.

Reid thinks it must be the person sent by Tanaka, or the person sent by Kawaguchi that Tanaka said.

"Good work." Leo looked at the broken limbs around him, all of which were assassinated and then dissected.

Kawaguchi looked very proud: "Yes, the master also said so."

"Master?" Leo raised his eyebrows, puzzled.

"You don't know?" The complacent expression on Kawaguchi's face became more obvious.

"Master helped us and told us how to complete our mission..." Kawaguchi said slowly, showing off, "He can release our true souls!"

Leo listened with an enigmatic expression on his face.

"What's your favorite prey?" Leo said slowly.

Kawaguchi looked at Leo and laughed, "I thought you knew."

"fxxk!" Tim cursed silently, the bullet bruises on his shoulders and waist opening again.He narrowly dodged a bullet that shot at his heart again.

Tim tore off the hem of his coat and bandaged the bleeding wound.Bloodstains are definitely things that can easily reveal whereabouts, so Tim can't help but ignore them.

Tim is inside the little white church, but now there is a troublesome thing-there is also a sniper in the little white church, maybe a killer. Tim doesn't know if this person is Torres, but the only thing that is certain is that he is definitely an enemy and not a friend!

There are a few snipers outside, and their identities are unknown.They are in a hostile relationship with each other, and no one should have an ally!

It was just chaos. Tim thought to himself, if he had known, he would not have come to play this game, and he would save his life to tease hotch!

Tim set up the gun, took aim, the muffler muffled part of the sound, and the bullets spun and flew out.On the top of the opposite building, a man in black fell down the stairs, lying on his back on the grass, with a black eye socket facing the night sky, blood slowly oozing from under his head, staining the grass. became red.

Tim switched positions again, and two bullets landed where he'd just been hiding.

Tim scolded mother in his heart while running, there are at least three fucking people outside!Solved one by myself, leaving two...

Rossi frowned: "The kid's voice is not right."

Morgan tensed: "What do you mean?"

Rossi remained silent, and said for a while, "Let's move quickly."

Emily looked at Rossi, then called the local police who had been sent to keep an eye on Maggie.No one answered for half a day.

Morgan put his foot on the gas pedal to the bottom.

JJ hurriedly called the local police station: "Yes, we suspect that the police sent to follow up have suffered misfortune, you go out to the police to have a look. Yes..."

The walkie-talkie was not turned off, Hotch drove another SUV and listened the whole time, driving all over the street to search for Tim.At this moment, Hotch's breathing stopped.

"kid..."

"We're going to him. Don't worry, go find Tim." Rossi's voice came over with the sound of electricity.

Hotch gritted his teeth, "Okay."

The two SUVs parted ways at the corner of the street.

Reid swallowed, and took two steps towards the door with the gun raised.

"Don't panic." Reid said to himself.He recalled the shooting method taught by Leo. Reid squinted his eyes to observe the size of the feet in the crack of the door, in order to deduce the height of the person behind the door, and then find the position of the head.

Then, the little doctor turned sideways, ready to shoot directly through the door panel.

Tanaka was tied to the swivel chair with his head bleeding.After a while, he regained his sanity.Looking up at the man who had just attacked him.

There was no one else in the monitoring room. Tim borrowed people from him earlier, and he assigned his men to Tim at night, and told them to play by ear, seize the handle of the local forces, and leave Tim's affairs alone.

Tanaka has plans of his own.He wasn't interested in what Tim said, unlike Kawaguchi, he just wanted to plant more of his own influence in this place.So, he dismissed the people sent by Kawaguchi with an excuse, and then gave it to Tim's own men.

Tanaka felt that Kawaguchi was crazy, and he didn't want to go on with a lunatic.If the chip was so easy to get, even Interpol wouldn't be here by now.That lunatic Kawaguchi wanted to get his hands on this thing, but he didn't weigh how much he had!

Looking at the monitor was a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman, who looked like a university professor.

He turned to look at Tanaka and smiled.The hairs on Tanaka's back stood on end, and in those inorganic eyes, he seemed to be an inanimate body.

Tanaka let out a frightened "whooping" sound, and his mouth was tightly sealed with tape.

"Don't talk." The gentle man told Tanaka impatiently, "Watch a movie."

Tanaka stared at the surveillance screen with sharp eyes, and the other screens were all silent, with no one at all.

"The hotel provides free meals today, and everyone has a share. You said, how can people who are sleeping peacefully get out of the room?" the gentle man pushed his glasses and told Tanaka in a soft voice.

Tanaka knew that this man must have done it.

"Then make it look like the rooms are full, how normal is it, isn't it? It's also a good idea to suspend the nightclub's business." The man's gold-rimmed glasses were shining brightly.

Then Tanaka saw a figure on a surveillance screen.

Tanaka was stunned for a while, his stomach churning...

"Do you want to see it? My work..." The man zoomed in on the camera.

Reid changed his mind, which seemed a little strange to him.He put away his gun and stopped less than three steps away from the door.

The little doctor calculated again in his heart, and he was only less than [-] inches tall...a short man?Is such a person left behind by Tanaka or Kawaguchi?Are there such people among their subordinates? Reid recalled their tall and burly men...or was it a woman?

As the camera zoomed in, the fear in Tanaka's protruding eyes deepened.

There was a person standing at the wooden door of the house number which could not tell whether it was 9 or 7.Or not standing, but being fixed.

It was a woman in her mid-20s, wearing clothes that didn't belong to this era.The starched straight dress, the rigid scarf, and the wheat-blond hair combed meticulously!

The most important thing is that the woman's face is expressionless, no, it can't be said to be expressionless, but this woman will no longer show any expression!Her lips were stitched shut, her eyelids were cut off, and her protruding eyeballs rolled back and forth. The ice blue eyes were full of fear!Blood dripped down her eyes and mouth, but did not reach the ground, and the pure white feathers were stained mottled.

Frozen faces, eyes that never close...

"Look, Queen Elizabeth." The gentle man smiled at Tanaka, "Hi, I'm Darwin."

"Maggie is missing. The police were attacked by unknown persons, and two of them were killed." JJ turned back to his colleagues after answering the phone.

Reid put away the gun abruptly, took a few steps back, and called Rossi.

"Rossi, where are you? Don't come here,

Rossi, don't come here! ’ Reid gasped anxiously.

"What's the matter? We're in the hotel lobby." Rossi's lowered voice sounded from the other end.

Reid collapsed on the sofa exhausted.

"Your master sounds very powerful." Leo stared at Kawaguchi closely, always facing the direction where Kawaguchi was standing.

Kawaguchi laughed hoarsely. "Then take a guess, what's in the hotel?"

"Bomb." Leo also laughed, looking at Kawaguchi in front of him and said.

Kawaguchi nodded, "Boom!" He spread his hands upwards and drew a scene where everything was blown up.

"Now there is a puzzle, who has the control switch for the bomb?"

"Rossi, I think Maggie is outside my door." Reid said in a teary voice.

Rossi froze and stopped in his tracks.

The BAU team members stopped in their tracks, and the front desk opposite fell asleep on the table.

Morgan walked up carefully, touched the receptionist's neck, and signaled that he was still alive.

"If I just shot the door, boom; if I opened the door, boom; if you leave now, boom..." Reid made an accurate guess.

"Chip." Leo watched Kawaguchi slowly take off the pen that hung on the wall. "Once the chip powers up, boom."

Kawaguchi pulled out the pistol with a smile, the cold light reflected from the blade, it can be seen that the edge of the blade is very good.

Leo thought about it, and said to Kawaguchi: "You are very courageous."

"Gamblers are all the same."

"You can't run away either."

"An artist only needs one piece of work to be famous all over the world."

Leo was too lazy to say any more, and also took a handful of guns off the wall.

"Clove oil. You treasure them." Leo held the blade flat to the tip of his nose.

"Kid, relax." Rossi stopped talking softly.He knew there must be monitors.To be discovered has long been discovered.

"Can we come up?" Emily asked Reid over the phone.

The little doctor spread out on the sofa, "I don't know. I don't quite understand the rules of the game."

Darwin looked at the lobby inside the surveillance screen, took out his phone, and sent a message.

Tanaka was horrified to see a twisted smile on Darwin's face.

With a "chick", the BAUs all took a step back in silence.

The marble floor was splashed with brains, and the blood followed, rushing into the white ash.A small half of the face is hanging on the table with a few strands of hair...

JJ shuddered.

The sleeping front desk clerk's head was blown off, right under the eyes of a group of BAUs.

Rossi hung up the phone.

"Now we know at least one thing—don't go upstairs."

Morgan looked back at the warning that had peeled off the wall, and the phrase "You have entered the monitoring area" was particularly glaring.

"What now?" Emily asked dryly.

"Wait." Rossi closed his eyes tiredly.

Looking at the hung up phone, Reid already knew the result.He tried to dial 911 with shaking fingers, but hung up before the call could connect.

How many people are there in the hotel now? Reid thinks he can't afford to gamble.

The two sharp blades collided, making a piercing metallic sound.The two figures are separated at the touch of a touch.

Kawaguchi laughed out loud, "That's all."

Kawaguchi's swordsmanship was tricky and weird, Leo was not used to the Eastern swordsmanship, and the fight fell into a stalemate for a while.

Leo took two steps back: "What if I leave now?"

Kawaguchi flexibly turned the sharp blade in his hand: "Of course nothing will happen. It's just a piece of information... there are snipers outside."

Reid forced himself to calm down and analyze the current situation.

There must be snipers out there, the sudden silence on Rossi's end said it all.

It's Maggie outside his door, so Darwin should be involved, don't know where to hide now.

The rule of the game is to isolate them from each other and investigate alone...

Leo went to Kawaguchi, and Kawaguchi probably made a move.

Rossi and the others are not allowed to leave the hall freely. What is in the hall?

What about yourself?Except Darwin's "Queen"...

BAU should be joined by all members, so, by the way, Tim has Torres. Where is Tim?

The little doctor jumped up from the sofa, and it should be Darwin who commanded the sniper!Kawaguchi faced Leo, so it shouldn't be easy to get away. Darwin should be in the monitoring room and can see the whole place.For myself, as long as I close the curtains, I am free, so what do I want to do?

Hotch is also outside, an absolutely free person...

Well, the key is Tim!

Torres, tracked by Tim, definitely holds the biggest chip in his hand, the bomb!

Reid starts circling the room, will Tim leave anything behind?If I were Tim...

Reid can't wait to call Leo and ask him what kind of tacit things he and Tim have done together before, but now is not the time to close.

Darwin and the others must have thought they would call Leo.Then distract Leo's attention so that Kawaguchi can take advantage of it!But he doesn't!

There are hundreds of lives in the hotel, but the little doctor still thinks that Leo is more important.Forgive him for being selfish.

Kawaguchi's blade sliced ​​across Leo's shoulder blades, and inches away from his neck.

"It's a pity." Kawaguchi said.At the same time raise the knife to attack again.

Leo has already begun to figure out Kawaguchi's sword style, and gradually began to counterattack.Kawaguchi's ear was almost chopped off with a vertical knife.

The smile on Kawaguchi's face gradually began to disappear.It was a bit difficult to resist. Leo's way of handling the knife is very special, as if it combines the thrust commonly used in the western battlefield and the dexterous swing in the eastern martial arts.

Reid quickly fell into an endless loop. Tim's current whereabouts are a well-kept secret.But why can the planners of this game be sure that Tim will leave a message for Leo?This person should be quite familiar with both Leo and Tim, or at least one of them.

Finding Tim must be the final link. The chip may be just a cover for deception. The switch of the bomb is on the chip.To find Tim, Leo had to come forward. Leo is dealing with Kawaguchi, if... then no one will know where Tim is, equal to boom... because no one will know that the chip is the key to start the bomb.Calling Leo now is tantamount to killing Leo...

Oh, and hotch!However, it is useless to tell hotch until there is no whereabouts of Tim...

Reid fell into depression, no one can guarantee that Leo can come back alive, in other words, even if Leo kills Kawaguchi, there are still snipers out there!And Darwin hiding in the shadows...

It seems that someone put a bait in front, the name is Hope.But the desperate reality is surrounding them everywhere.It seems that fate is laughing at their overreach.

Reid felt the thought, the smug thought that he was good enough to be God.

"Pervert!" The little doctor cursed in his heart.Every time he passed the door, he tried his best to avoid looking at the door.However, under this hint in his heart, he would always involuntarily look towards the door.Then you will see those feet.This made his psychological pressure suddenly increase.

"You're lucky." Darwin whispered in Tanaka's ear, "Not everyone is lucky enough to see this movie."

Tanaka tried his best to twist his body, trying to stay away from this pervert.

"Master has always been good at taking me out of the situation." Darwin said enthusiastically, as if giving a speech.

"You people don't understand the eternity of killing!" Darwin looked out the window.As if looking at a faceless deity.

"If Tim had been here…" Reid tried to make assumptions.

Then he saw a rose petal on the windowsill. Reid felt that this red and black color was very familiar, like blood that was about to dry up, like a rose with an invitation card...Louis XIV!

The little doctor stared at the window sill in a daze, trying to see clues from the window sill.However, nothing.

Reid thought for a while, and let out a mouthful of hot air against the glass of the window... a line of writing emerged on the window - Midnight, Little White Church.

"What if I'm the last one to walk out of the basement?" Leo smiled, and the tip of his knife lightly pierced Kawaguchi's wrist, and he flicked it out.

Kawaguchi tilted his head, and for a while, blood came out of his nose.

"You can't go out! Haha!" Kawaguchi squirmed on the ground.His tendons were broken by Leo.

Leo smiled slightly, looking gentle and polite.The rope hung around Kawaguchi's wrist, and Kawaguchi was hoisted up like a dead dog, hanging in mid-air.

"There's a sniper...lol, everyone stays where he should be."

"Like a chessboard?" Leo frowned.

"Yes, it's like a chessboard." Kawaguchi panted, "Each chess piece must have a certain movement... Without you, that blond boy can't handle it..."

Leo threw away the pistol, his eyes scanned the wall, and finally, he settled on a slender fighting sword.

"No, I trust Reid, and I... trust Tim."

The sword in Leo's hand aimed at Kawaguchi's lungs, and slowly pierced it. "Now I have enough time to appreciate the people who drowned in my own blood." Leo sat in front of Kawaguchi in a leisurely manner.

Blood slowly oozed from Kawaguchi's mouth and nose, dripping drop by drop onto the ground in front of Leo.

"Hotch, Tim is in Little White Church. Get the chip, that's the switch of the bomb!" Reid explained to Hotch what happened.

"Squeak!" The SUV swayed and turned on the street. Fortunately, there were very few vehicles on this road, otherwise it would definitely cause a traffic accident. Hotch put his foot on the gas pedal.

Tim, hold on! Hotch muttered silently.

"Rossi, shall we just wait?" Morgan whispered into Rossi's ear unwillingly.

Emily glanced at them worriedly, and she was relieved when there was no gunfire after half a day.

"Wait for Reid's call."

As soon as Rossi finished speaking, his phone vibrated.

"Hotch went to find Tim, at Little White Church." The text message showed.
