[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

In the humble office, the BAUs quickly entered the working state.

"The four deceased were all men, middle-aged, divorced, and living a single life." JJ rubbed the center of his brows wearily.

She had just been exhausted as a publicist facing a group of reporters hostile to the FBI. "Their focus is not on the case at all! They think it's a manifestation of the federal meddling in local affairs!" She complained to Emily.

"I can't think of any sense of accomplishment in killing such a loser in life." Leo analyzed the information of the deceased while throwing them vigorously on the desk.

"Arsonists are generally irritable in life, but at the same time they are cowardly. If we talk about the target, we will indeed choose someone who is usually stronger. This can reflect the power of the murderer. It does not conform to the usual close-up of arsonists." Reid looked at The photo of the victim on the whiteboard said.

"The speed of the suspect's plan will be accelerated, and the action will give him satisfaction. If this is the case, the murderer will quickly carry out the next plan, and the speed will be accelerated. Just like Paul in the Washington church arson case in 1992. Moreover, he It is even possible to inflict large-scale indiscriminate damage." Tim analyzed, flicking and flicking that beautiful golden hair, inviting pets to hotch.

During the night, the most unpleasant news came—the No. 5 victim appeared.

"Ben Last, 45 years old, divorced, was burned to death in the apartment, and there was a combustion aid found at the scene." JJ took back the first-hand information.

They all suspected that if Queen JJ hadn't acted fast, the local police might not have told them until the next day.

By the next day, the surrounding environment became worse and worse.The local police department blamed BAU for its inaction.

"Your inaction has caused the public to suffer losses and caused panic! If the BAU cannot solve this case, I doubt why the central government should intervene in the affairs of the local police station!" But panic was everywhere in his expression.

"He couldn't solve the case by himself, and he was afraid of the anger of the public, so he pushed all the responsibility on us! God knows we've only been here for a day!" Morgan was indignant.

"You should look at him! He looks like a mad bull! His eyes are sticking out!" Reid complained to Leo.

At this time, the two were heading to Golden Rat Street.

It can be regarded as the most prosperous place in Greenriver.Compared with the large farms in the central part, the population here is obviously more dense.

Book.Rust's apartment is on the fourth floor of No. 16, Block A, Golden Rat Street.

"Reid, I thought you were going to call him a castrated bull." Leo's sarcasm at the old-fashioned man was all he could get, trying to take a full blow to someone else's masculinity.

"That old-fashioned character is really difficult to deal with! And it seems to have a lot of prestige in Green River!" Reid recalled that the name was Raven.Jin's local police officer's every move, said to Leo.

"Oh, our poor JJ, I hope she comes back after dealing with the media today and doesn't resign."

"Now should we expect that there will be something left for us at the scene?" Leo put his hands in his coat pockets, smoked a cigarette, and looked at the burned-out apartment.

The door lock was hanging on the side, obviously picked by someone who entered later.

The little doctor let out a "huh" and decided to go in first.He didn't want to stand behind the big lion.

After crossing the bright yellow warning line, the little doctor turned to Leo and said, "Maybe it's not that bad."

"Oh, the little doctor is usually very cheerful and optimistic." The big lion thought to himself.

"Pour combustion aid on the door of this house, and lock the door from the outside, look, there is a mark here." The little doctor pointed to the obvious scratch on the doorknob and said.

"Then a match, or a cigarette butt, boom!" Leo bit his cigarette and made a gesture of explosion.

"This will catch fire." The little doctor nodded in agreement, "Once there is a combustion aid, the fire will spread quickly in the room."

The apartment was so battered that it looked like a haunted house at night.Things were scattered on the ground in a mess, either burned to coke or smashed to pieces.

"Look here." The little doctor pointed to the window and said, "The living room window of this house is facing the street. Maybe the murderer is downstairs, watching all this happening, satisfying his perverted desire."

Beside them, a human figure was outlined on the ground with white pink lines, and that was Ben.Where Rust's body was found.Right under the window!

The murderer can watch from below, watching the whole process of the victim from struggling to death.

They continued walking into the room.Needless to say, the study was completely burned.On the contrary, the bedroom is fairly tidy, which may have something to do with not having so many books in it.

"The laptop of the owner of this house has already been taken away by the local police. It looks like they don't plan to hand it over to the BAU for inspection in the short term. Maybe Garcia can find out something! It's all over now .” The little doctor complained rarely.

The burnt charcoal floor crackled underfoot, and the surrounding furniture also had a feeling of being scorched and shattering when touched.

Reid and Leo put on disposable gloves, ready to look at the scene again.

The apartments in Building 16 in District A are all rented to single men, and the area is not very large. After a fire, the things they can search for are extremely limited.

The sun in the middle of the United States was particularly warm, shining through the broken curtains into the fourth floor of No. 16 in Area A, and Reid was dazzled.

The little doctor squinted his eyes, and stepped on the air unexpectedly.

"Ah!" Reid screamed. With his completely unqualified physical performance and almost no sense of balance, falling has become an inevitable event in terms of probability.

But in fact, R Bao's cry was only halfway through, and a pair of powerful arms stretched out at an angle, and quickly dragged the little doctor back.

Reid bumped into the lion's strong chest, felt Leo's snort trembling through the hair on the top of his head, and Reid felt a little hot in his ears.Immediately afterwards, the little doctor felt that the chest he was leaning on trembled twice.

When Reid found out, it was because when Leo was laughing, his previous snort had already turned to his hot ears.

"Ah! You guys!" A sharp voice came through the door, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere of Zhengdengshi.

Reid jumped out in an instant, leaving Leo's arms.On the other hand, Leo smacked his mouth regretfully, raised his head and stood up straight with great pity, and looked dissatisfied at the person who had just interrupted his "good thing"—the person who came was a policewoman who looked only in her twenties, but The old-fashioned taste of the whole body really resembles that old-fashioned Rui Wen.gold.

"Sorry, I just came to tell you that this place has been searched. There is nothing more valuable than showing that it was a man-made arson." Fortunately, although the policewoman was impatient, she still said It should be polite, without the attitude of questioning in the police station.

But... "That's according to your point of view. After all, you are just ordinary policemen." Leo emphasized the word "ordinary".Interrupting the big lion's good deeds, the lion doesn't like to let it go.

"Then... alright." The policewoman shrugged, unexpectedly not being provoked, she turned and left indifferently.

What is even more surprising is that Reid, who has always been good-tempered, did not speak out to persuade Leo when he made provocative words.Probably angry. Leo speculates on Reid's behavior.It seems that there are quite a few people who don't like the local police station.

"Hey, Leo. Look, there's something down here." Reid's attention was shifted back in an instant.

Under the floor he had just stepped on, there was a slightly deformed iron box—the kind that holds cookies.

It looked like it was a loose floor tile and someone had hidden something under it.A fire had carbonized the floor, making it loose and brittle. As soon as Reid stepped on it, he missed it.Otherwise, with the small body of the little doctor, it is estimated that no matter how hard he tosses, he will not be able to step on the floor.

Reid and Leo looked at each other, and they both saw a certain kind of luck in each other's eyes - one was that Reid stepped on it so coincidentally, and the other was that the people from the local police station didn't notice and left by themselves.

That's right, neither of these two men are upright policemen like Hotch, Leo and Reid have no intention of telling the local police station this clue at all.

"Don't talk about helping at that time, it will be nice if you don't get in the way." Reid rarely said that.It can be seen that they did not get along very well with the Greenriver Police Department.

"Think about those mice!" It is estimated that this is the source of the little doctor's real resentment.

In fact, Reid really resented this!What he hates the most is that kind of rodent animal!

"Also, I think JJ and Morgan will never object." The little doctor affirmed.

Leo and Reid opened the iron box before putting it in the evidence bag.

Their hunch was correct, there was indeed something in it.

There are a stack of photos in the iron box, ranging from the old-fashioned film after shooting to the latest digital printing.

Reid shared what she thought would be a photo of the victim's divorced wife or child -- "as a sort of remembrance," Reid said.

But in fact it was unexpected, "As if there weren't enough unexpected things today." Leo complained inwardly.

The first picture is a group of boys, who seem to be young students.Then there are many photos of the two together, one of the protagonists is always the victim Ben.last.

It looks like a photo with a friend.Hiking together, swimming in the river, fishing, boating and riding together...

"It seems that the relationship is very good." Reid concluded, putting the photo back into the box and putting it in an evidence bag. "We may visit his friends when we are free, and see if we can find some clues."

"What's wrong?" Reid asked Leo looking at his No.80 for seven seconds with a hesitant expression on his face.

"It's nothing." Leo thought for a while, and decided to wait until he went back to confirm.

When they were about to go back and passed the living room window again, Leo stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Reid found that he asked the same question many times today.

Leo pulled Reid and quickly retreated to the window: "There is someone below." Leo's eyes were still fixed on the street outside the window.

Golden Rat Street was originally a place where people come and go, this is Reid's heartfelt voice.But soon Reid realized what Leo meant - someone was watching this apartment!

The author has something to say:

Some people say that one is locked, I just want to say that it is just the names of several drugs!I haven't even written chemical equations...
