[Criminal Minds] years before love

Rossi placed the cardboard box containing the evidence in front of the priest who was brought back to the interrogation room, and took out a short whip to examine. It was cleaned well after the last use, without any stains or wear, "Did you last time?" Did you see Green?"

"His name is Green? Well, he told us to call him J. Three nights ago, he came over to..., uh, had a VIP client."

"You mean he did it himself?" Rossi turned to look at his companion leaning against the door and shrugged, "...I guess this part-time job is much higher than our salary."

The other party was obviously annoyed by this, and gave him a glare, "Sounds like you're interested, Agent Rossi."

Rossi smiled, seemed amused by the thought, and shook his head, "No. Disappointing you, at least not yet."

"What does he usually do?" The other party skipped over him helplessly and asked

"J? He trains newcomers, teaching them how to use props, how to control them, and when to stop. Sometimes he also... entertains some guests."

"New? I can't believe you're letting people in without doing any research."

"That's also...J's part, he tests them."

"Good." Rossi snorted. "Apparently the FBI's collection is very useful. Are they going to do it here?"

"Most of the time, yes. We have good privacy here," the pastor explained with trepidation, "but sometimes J takes guests out."

"You allowed it?" the FBI agent asked in surprise, "I thought you would ask everything to happen within a controllable range."

"There are some guests who want to do it outdoors...we just try our best to meet the request." The pastor lowered his head and wrung his fingers.

Rossi shook his head and didn't speak right away.

And his companion frowned, "Is it possible that Green offended this guest? Or your other...employees?"

"J is very professional."

"You?" Rossi gestured.

The young pastor blushed, bit his lips tightly, and asked in a low voice after a long time, "So... is J in trouble?"

"He's missing. You'd better tell us anything you know about this VIP guest."

The young man opened his mouth, "I... really don't know. I don't have any photos or files. Uh, I can tell you what he looks like."

Rossi raised his hand to stop him, and took out some photos of the deceased, "Before that, I need you to confirm whether you have seen these people?"

The young man breathed in panic, and finally nodded, "See, see."

"Your guest?"

"Yes."

"Son, you'd better explain who your boss is." Rossi leaned in front of him, shaking the photo, "You obviously can't handle this."

"I, I don't know."

"So you think...Green knows?" Rossi flicked the whip out of his hand as if by accident.

And the pastor almost jumped up, "J, I think, I mean, I guess he knows."

Rossi looked at him for a while, shook his head, motioned to his companions and they left him to go out.

"I'm going to look again at the cases that Green has considered before - we've only focused on the ones that went to court."

"What?" Rossi looked at him suspiciously.

"This Mr. VIP is obviously the first suspect. Green has investigated him--background investigation. It is impossible for him not to leave clues."

Rossi seemed to be thinking about other issues. After a while, he said slowly, "I remember you said that Green can be sacrificed."

"Of course we have to find him! D□□id, I will not abandon any of us." The person in charge frowned slightly, "Although what he has done is enough to get him kicked out."

"No, I mean, Green is obviously not that important to you guys."

"D□□id, not every field agent is like you or Jason Gideon. The truth is, we have a lot of young agents, and if they are not qualified, we can always find a replacement. Green's record is not outstanding." On the other side Expressionless, "But that doesn't mean I don't want to find him."

"And he's not coming home." Rossi didn't argue, but continued slowly.

"—you don't mean to say that you suspect him?"

"I'm not sure whether he disappeared by himself or was taken away by this VIP, but I strongly suspect that he is the serial killer you are looking for."

"Are you serious?"

Rossi glanced at him, but didn't answer.

"Anyway, we still have to find him."

Rossi nodded, walked to the table full of documents, picked up the files again and checked, "—Green's disappearance was not reported by his partner."

"Mutual cover. If your partner doesn't come to work, I guess you won't report it right away." The other party nodded without paying much attention.

"No." Rossi put down the things in his hands and rushed to the other side to search quickly.

"What's the matter, D□□id?" Even though he didn't understand what happened, the other party still followed.

"It's a part-time job that takes a lot of time and energy, and there's no way Jones doesn't know about it - I guess he's the boss. And that means Aaron could be in danger, I remember we have his property records, we have to get there right away! "
