[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

Reid and Leo pulled those originally vague clues out of the thick fog, and pieced together a description of the prototype of this weird case.

The murderer chose girls who looked strict, old-fashioned, and lacked femininity, just like Elizabeth.

This Virginia killer collects girls with wheat-yellow hair—Queen Elizabeth has hair of that color; they are Puritans—Elizabeth is a Protestant;

Lisa and Anna are going to cast Elizabeth in the "Henry VIII" historical drama - this has just been confirmed by Garcia.

Alice adapted it and was set to play Gloriana in "The Fairy Queen"-based on Queen Elizabeth.

The murderer has some kind of unknown paranoia about this queen.

Everyone in BAU in the conference room just exchanged clues.I shifted my thinking from religious defenders to the right direction.

Isn't that right, the queen was imprisoned in the dark Tower of London before she succeeded to the throne, Elizabeth had lung disease before being imprisoned, and almost died.

This greatly affected her health in the following days, which caused the queen to die at the age of 60.

And this serial killer was trying to reshape a queen, and the victims who died all became failed experiments and abandoned objects because they did not survive pneumonia.So he was dumped in the wilderness, and finally found by the police.

He wants to create a queen, a queen who has gone through hardships and will eventually go to glory.

"We can start profiling," Rossi said to a group of BAU.

"The murderer has some kind of paranoia, towards Queen Elizabeth, or we can expand it—Elizabeth era, or Elizabeth era England." Reid spoke first: "Then he should be familiar with the history of the Tudor dynasty, as well as literary works .”

"The murderer is very familiar with his targets, including their religious beliefs, and even their usual activities-so the murderer can easily do it-by virtue of their usual habit of attending parties." JJ added.

"The murderer may be familiar with the members of the society, and they may have participated in activities together." Rossi said-the current victims are all members of the society.

"The level of education is high, and he looks gentle and reasonable-he has to make himself look like a British guy!" Morgan said very unhappily.

"According to your profile, his occupation is generally a literature or history teacher. He is gentle and gentle, and looks trustworthy—at least for rebellious teenagers." Hotch concluded by looking at the notes he made.

"Harrington, do you have anything to add?" Rossi asked, noticing Leo's silence.

"Actually, there is another profession - newspaper editor." Leo replied lightly.

"You mean..." Reid immediately understood what Leo meant.

"Let's take a look at the editor of the Virginia Morning Post——David Darwin." Leo leaned against the wall, looking a little lazy, but there was an inexplicable expression in his blue-gray eyes. Excitement, people can't help but shudder when they see it-a kind of excitement that a predator is about to deliver a fatal blow to its prey.

"What was David.Darwin's caption that day—the killer in Virginia—defending the purity of the virgin, and Reid said it was a pun at the time. The recent victims were obviously not virgins, and they were also thrown into the wilderness, so they were defending purity. He A woman who is dissatisfied with conforming to her 'queen' fantasies is not a virgin. His headline is a warning and a declaration of war.

I met and spoke to him at st. John's Secondary School that day.He said that 'the United States is no longer what it was when it was first formed', and expressed anger that the first thirteen states of the United States were colonies of the United Kingdom, and the first colonization was in the Elizabethan era.Was there a creature closer to a murderer than he? "

Night had fallen for a long time, and the snow outside the window was frozen even harder, and bursts of cold air radiated out, freezing the dignified atmosphere even thicker.

At this point, 24 hours have passed since luara.stone disappeared.

The BAU just released a profile of the killer.

"The murderer has a delusional personality, cunning and paranoid..."

Leo smokes in the conference room window.He looked out the window at a dark sky, with no emotion on his face.But with a blank face, Reid could see the agitation in Leo's heart... Whenever at this time, Reid would feel that in front of him was a person who had no normal emotions.

"Darwin must be smart, he's a cunning opponent," Rossi said finally, "he's dangerous, we have to be careful.

Hotch made the final decision: "Let's go!"

The BAU and the police split into two groups, and went to search Darwin's residence and the newspaper office; searched all the hidden streets and blocked them all the way.

"Maybe Luara is still alive," Emily said.

"Reid, I don't think you should be on the field. It's too dangerous, isn't it?" Leo drove.

Reid in the car pursed his lips tightly, the arc of his jaw was a little stiff.

"I'm not questioning your ability to reid. As a doctor, you have a mind beyond ordinary people's expectations. You shouldn't come out and take risks. I thought you were a civilian."

Reid's expressionless face hinted at the little doctor's displeasure.

Before that, whether she was happy, confused, nervous, or angry, there was no such expression on the face that always had an expression—no expression.

This is what Leo doesn't want to see.

However, Leo really wanted to get rid of reid and do something...

But obviously, Reid made up his mind to go out to work with Leo, and would never go back to the office by himself...

Well, since he won't be happy to let the little doctor go back... let's forget it. Leo thought.

"Actually, I just want to say that the mind that humans have evolved for 300 million years should not go head-to-head with the muscles that animals also have." As soon as the words fell, his partner, Reid, laughed.

The BAU and local police officers broke in and were not surprised to find that Darwin's home had a basement.

Darwin lives alone in a detached cottage.You have to turn from the main road to the forest path to get there.

The house is tucked away in the woods and is a great hiding place.

This small red-roofed building has a distinct flavor of the Elizabethan era-regular and rigid, with straight lines, without any feeling of comfort and softness.

Even everything in the house is tidy, and every line stays where it should be.

Even the basement where the victims were held!

20 minute ago

The hotch who searched Darwin's house called, and as Rossi expected, Darwin's house was already empty.

There was no movement in the house as they yelled, "FBI!" and barged in.To be honest, Rossi was not surprised at all, "Leo, you and reid noticed a blue Ford Mondeo with license plate xxxxxx. Darwin probably drove away."

10 minute ago

On the state road just before leaving the Morgantown area

"Is it that car?" Reid spotted the target with sharp eyes.

"Be careful, follow first. Darwin may have a gun. We suspect that the luara is in Darwin's hands."

After all, according to their analysis, Darwin is definitely a difficult opponent.

5 minute ago

"Darwin found us."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The three gunshots were especially shocking in the silent snowy night.

As Leo spoke, Darwin shot at them.

Leo and their car slid out on the snow and braked the car urgently.

Darwin's car quickly disappeared in the snow.

The BAU and authorities immediately pursued it in every possible direction.The West Virginia Police Department even dispatched most of the centaurs, but it didn't help... Darwin disappeared into a white world with his "Queen"...

There are some photos in the evidence bag: the cold and empty basement, everything is tidy; the small windows remind people of the dark and narrow Tower of London all day long; the ornate chairs are exquisitely carved and covered in red velvet ——That is the throne; those perfectly preserved corpses, one by one, like puppets, sit on the throne with crossed red and white roses...

The same wheat-blonde hair, a stiff collar, and the elimination of all gender characteristics, leaving only gorgeous dresses... These costumes that only highlight the majesty of the monarch are the Elizabeths of the Tudor dynasty.Suddenly, a stereotyped woman who ruled England for 45 years was sitting in front of everyone in BAU.

"These are successful products." Reid's words broke the low-pressure atmosphere, but only made it worse.

Darwin dressed them in splendid attire, bestowed glory on them, and made them queens.

"But it still ends in death, whether it succeeds or fails. This is Darwin's extremely cruel, role-playing game." Rossi said sadly.

Darwin was not caught in the end, and luara.sstone, the innocent girl, disappeared with him.

Perhaps she will die of pneumonia, perhaps she will be made a queen, and placed on a throne of the highest honor.

The BAU group embarked on the return journey, demoralized.

Although arrest warrants have been issued across the United States, the innocent girl was taken away.Moreover, no one can be sure that these found bodies belong to all the victims.

Perhaps, there are some queens who are stranded somewhere, lost among the people, and they will be discovered again at some point... And there are some queens who are mingling with ordinary people, waiting for the one who discovers her People who are good will one day stand tall.

"Death cannot destroy my glory." That Elizabeth once said.

The BAU's mission was successful - deduce the murderer.However, this case did not let people completely let go.

"Oh, next time we'll definitely grab this pet!" Garcia said rudely from the other end of the electronic screen.

"Hey, kid, don't be depressed. You're doing great." Leo handed Reid a cup of coffee to Reid who was staring out the window, and ruffled his hair - a new move he learned from Morgan.

Reid raised his head, took the coffee, and smiled reluctantly at the big lion.

"Leo, how do you feel, are you still getting used to it?" Rossi, Dad came to care about this rookie named Lion, not like a rookie.

"Rossi, I'm not like you. You know, I'm neither angry at Darwin nor sorry for the victim for this outcome." Leo leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette, his profile half hidden in the shadows, the firelight Between lights and lights, I can only take care of him, with a straight nose.

Finally, he looked up at Rossi and smiled meaningfully. "You know, I'm just a little sorry..."

"Forget it, I wanted you to be human. It looks...but it's not bad as it is now." Rossi patted Leo helplessly.Yes, Leo is different from these hot-blooded detectives.Detectives, to catch criminals, to save innocent people; Leo, for his "puzzle solving game", to kill legally... Rossi thought silently in his heart, Leo never cared about the issue of who lives and who dies.
