[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

"He turned out to be gay!" When he walked out of the bar, the little doctor obviously hadn't accepted the fact well, "It's hard for me to imagine, such an old-fashioned, well, a guy who looks old-fashioned." The little doctor changed his tune.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. No wonder, when he learned about Ben Ruster being burned to death earlier, although his attitude towards our accountability seemed tough, he still looked panicked. This guy must be worried that he will become Next." Leo put his hands in his pockets, slowed down his pace, and cooperated with the little doctor who was not very well coordinated, "Look at how well he fits the close-up of the victim! Gay, middle-aged, divorced, Is there a more perfect potential victim than Raven King? Maybe we don't have to worry about his tough attitude anymore, maybe tomorrow, he will already be lying dead!" Leo joked, but obviously, he The jokes don't match the little doctor's sense of humor.

The little doctor of the big lion gave him a hard look, "Don't make fun of this, big lion! This is not funny at all! Even if you hate Raven. Jin, you shouldn't talk like that." The little doctor was almost paranoid sense of justice.

When they returned to the temporary office, all the other groups had already arrived.It seems that the results of their "secret agents" may not be very good.

What surprised Leo and Reid the most was that Tim and hotch acted together!That said, they went into a gay bar together...maybe they pretended to be a couple!The little doctor thought to himself.

Leo and Reid didn't know what happened to the two of them inside, but Tim looked extraordinarily radiant, sweeping away the listless look before.

"What happened?" Leo raised his eyebrows and signaled Tim with his eyes.

Tim's smirk came in response.On the other hand, Bingshan's face became colder while hotch, and everyone directly felt that the indoor temperature had dropped again.

"Okay, okay, don't let the air conditioner go," Rhett muttered in his heart, wrapping his thin jacket tighter. Leo directly took the police cotton coat and wrapped the little doctor tightly.

"Ahem! What? Raven. Kim is gay!" Rossi stared his eyes into the same size.

The iceberg face that hotch has kept for a long time has cracks.

"It's unimaginable." Morgan reached out and touched his round head, "What's going on here?"

So, Leo and the little doctor told their colleagues what they had gained in the bar.

"That is to say, the victims were indeed targeted in the bar." Rossi analyzed, "The murderer may observe them nearby, confirm that these people are gay, and then track his target...or That is to say, if we keep an eye on these bars, we can find the murderer smoothly."

Things are easy to say, but in fact, it is indeed difficult to operate.With so many people coming in and out of the bar, it was really difficult to confirm who the murderer was.

"And he may have made a backup record in advance, and he doesn't necessarily need to go every day. Maybe we should post a profile like a bar to see if they feel anything unusual." Hotch said to everyone.

So, as a last resort, the BAU teamed up with the local police station to send out the profile of the murderer in various bars, and remind everyone to notify them as soon as there is news.

But doing so has a downside...

"It's irrelevant at all!" JJ said helplessly, "A bunch of guys who want to sensationalize!"

"Everyone claims to be the arsonist! Please! If you want to get the attention of the media, you must have a limit!" JJ just analyzed and questioned a person who claimed to be the arsonist in this case, and found that it was just an arsonist. Just a boring guy trying to get the attention of the media.

What's more, they still receive a lot of calls from people who claim to be clues every day, but so far they haven't found any useful news.

"I think it's better for us to follow up directly." Emily said to everyone while drinking coffee.The proposal was unanimously approved by all.

"Actually, I think instead of staring at other people, we might as well stare at Raven. Where is Jin!" The little doctor suggested to everyone.

"Actually, there has always been an unreasonable point in this case. It is the arson case of the Sunset Hotel. Two insignificant people were killed." The little doctor said.

The murderer's intention was to kill Leo and Reid, but failed.It is obviously not so easy to get close to the two federal agents again.So, the past two days have been uneventful.

"You think the killer has gotten out of control? Turned into indiscriminate murder?" Rossi began.

"We cannot rule out this possibility. Unless the next case happens." Leo said calmly.

"Think about it, what made the murderer target the two of you? Two completely inconsistent target profiles." Hotch asked the two of them to recall.

In fact, Leo and the little doctor have done this more than once.But, every time, nothing.

"Hey! Wait, Leo. Do you remember that man we met under Ben Ruster's apartment? We should talk to him." The little doctor said to Leo.

"Can we guess that Ben Ruster is with him?"

"I know what you're thinking." Leo understood.

The original plan to talk to that cowboy was delayed by the previous incident, but I just remembered it now.

If anyone had seen Little Doctor get along with Leo, it was Ben.The man standing under the Rust apartment.

"A person with abnormal behavior... What if he was monitored downstairs?" The little doctor mentioned.

In fact, there is a more important possibility, that is, that man has noticed someone - that person may be the murderer!Because, according to their previous speculation, the wandering person was probably Ben.Ruster's boyfriend.

Either way, they had to meet the man.

Morgan and Emily and Rossi are in charge of following Raven.Jin Wei, keep him safe, and check to see if anyone is following him.Then, that person must be the murderer.

And Leo and the little doctor were sent to Ben.Rust's boyfriend's house.

His information, Garcia had returned to them earlier.The name is Brown.Albert's man, who lived on a farm outside of Green River, was the owner of the small farm.

And he is also in line with Leo's previous speculation, that is, he and Ben in the old photos.Rust is an intimate man.

The BAUs decided to split up.

Early the next morning, Leo and Reid set off and drove to the small farm on the edge of Greenleaf.

It was the beginning of spring at this time, and the scenery on the outskirts of Green River was particularly charming.The mountains far away from the highway are a piece of verdant green, and those tenacious plants have spent the whole winter, poking their heads out of the hard ground.And around, in the large field with fences, the crops that germinated in spring also decorated the yellow-brown land with a new green color.The sun was shining brightly, coating the ground of the road in the distance with a layer of golden yellow...

"Hey, Lion, you said that they are so far away from each other, how can they contact each other?" The little doctor was puzzled.He couldn't imagine how to get along with his lover at such a long distance.As far as the little doctor himself is concerned, lovers should desire to be together anytime, anywhere.

"Maybe, they can drive to each other and take a vacation together." Leo replied vaguely.The big lion is reluctant to explain to his little doctor that generally gays do not have a fixed partner.When both are men, the stable environment is boring.They tend to prefer the freedom to chase their favorite excitement.Morality and responsibility have always been thin in gay circles.

Just like Leo himself, before he met the little doctor, he had been living this kind of life, and he never felt that there was anything wrong, nor did he long for a stable relationship.He would rather chase cute prey in the night market than sleep with each other every night.However, Leo himself did not expect that he would take his heart for such a little doctor, and the current big lion can guarantee that he must be more eager for a stable love than Reid.

Soon, they arrived at the small farm.The cowboys working on the farm were stunned when they stopped by the fence and showed their IDs.

"The boss will be here soon," the little cowboy told them.And invite them in.

"Who are you?" After a while, Leo and the little doctor heard a voice asking.

The big lion and the little doctor turned their heads and saw Mr. Brown.

"BAU. We came to you to learn something about Ben Ruster." Leo showed his ID and explained the purpose of this visit.

"Ben?" Brown trilled, looking suddenly tired and old.

"Yes. We believe you already know the news of his death." Leo cut to the chase.

"Come in first." Brown waved his right hand at them.Walked into the house first.

At first, Brown seemed to be remembering something, and he didn't speak for a long time.He looks much older than he used to be.

"Have you ever been to Ben Ruster's apartment? After he was killed? Did you see anything out of the ordinary?" Leo asked, observing Brown's expression.

"I haven't gone in." Brown was very sad, "I didn't go in again. I just stayed downstairs for a while, trying to see what was going on. I didn't see anything strange... It seemed like after a fire There is nothing left..."

Leo observed him for a long time, and finally determined that the cowboy was not lying.He really wasn't a watcher.So, who was it that discovered the close relationship between him and the little doctor?

"What's your relationship?" Leo continued to ask.

After a long silence, Brown looked at the two people in front of him and sighed: "Ben is my lover. But you have to know that in our situation, it is difficult to make our relationship public. We keep in touch carefully." , in order to cover up the relationship, Ben got married. But he soon couldn't stand, you know, being with a woman he didn't like at all... And we were sneaky like this, and his wife found out one day, and his The wife couldn't bear that her husband was gay, so she divorced Ben." Sitting on the sofa, Brown slowly told them.

"When did this happen?" asked the little doctor.

"It's been about two or three years." Brown recalled, telling Leo and the little doctor.

Leo and the little doctor looked at each other——Raven.Kim and his wife had just divorced for about a month, and Ben.Last and his wife have been divorced for two or three years.It's not that close.

"So, were you two together before Ben was killed?" asked the little doctor.

"Well, as usual, we don't stay together very much, come and play once or twice a week."

"Where do you usually meet?"

"Just those few bars." Brown reported the names of several bars.Here are some of the gay bars in Green River.

It seems that these bars are really very problematic, the little doctor thought to himself. "Then Mr. Brown's last question. When you and Ben Ruster were together, did you notice any unusual people? For example, he paid special attention to you, showed hostility towards you, or followed you secretly? "

"Huh?" Brown suddenly became suspicious, and seemed to think of something: "I didn't see it, but Ben seemed to tell me about it once, he said, two or three times he went home On the road, it seemed like a van was following him."

"Truck?" Little Doctor and Leo immediately regained their spirits.If it was a van, it would make sense how the murderer was monitoring several bars at the same time.If the large home delivery trucks deliver to several bars, the murderer can roam between several bars at the same time without arousing suspicion.

"What kind of truck? Did Ben Ruster tell you?" The little doctor asked eagerly.

"Probably like the kind of car that delivers frozen food, but Ben said that because it was already dark at the time, he couldn't see it very clearly, and he might be on the same road as him." Brown seemed to be aware of his lover's death Something to do with that weird van.

"Do you have a license plate number?"

"...don't know. Ben didn't say that." Brown took a while to think about it, but still came up with nothing.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." Although the little doctor was prepared for this result, he was still a little disappointed.He gave Mr. Brown a slight nod of the head as a signal, "Please forgive me." The little doctor said.

"Do you know Jimmy?" When walking to the door, Leo suddenly turned around and asked Brown.

"You mean that Jimmy in the bar? Well, yes, oh, not really an acquaintance, just a few encounters."

"We heard he got divorced a month ago."

"Oh, I can say that I'm not surprised at all. It's a very painful thing for a pure homosexual to marry and live with a woman. I can't even imagine it." Mr. Brown shrugged.There is nothing special about it, as if this is a very normal thing.

"Does he have a family? I mean, after his divorce

Who will his children live with later? "

"Of course it's his wife, no doubt about it. Women won't leave their children to be educated by such a man, a homosexual." Mr. Brown smiled wryly, "It's as if we don't want to have a Like my own child."

"Raven. How's the situation with Jin?" Back in the car, the little doctor called Morgan.

"Everything is normal, so far there is no suspicious person." Morgan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, it seems that we still need to rationalize our thinking." The little doctor leaned on the shoulder of the big lion helplessly, begging for comfort.

Back in the temporary office, Leo and Dr. Xiao found that their colleagues had obviously gone out to work.There were only the two of them left in the empty office.

"Little doctor, is the ramen okay?" Leo brought back two servings of ramen and a large pizza.Leo and Dr. Jr. hadn't had a free meal from the Green River Police Department since the last bad sandwich.

"Oh, that's pretty good, just don't let me use chopsticks." The little doctor took his lunch with a smile.

The two sat face to face, discussing the case while eating.In fact, generally speaking, eating and talking is not Leo's living habit, but, well, there is a saying that do as the Romans do.There are casual Americans, Leo thought to himself looking at the little doctor in front of him.

"Perhaps the arson case will stop here. If so, we will never be able to catch the murderer." The little doctor said depressedly, "He also hurt two innocent people. Of course, this refers to the murderer himself. The words are innocent."

"It sounds like he's degenerating." Leo once again replaced the espresso in Doctor's hand with milk, and said, "You see, he himself is a murderer with a specific goal, and now his goal-of course This seems to have become popular at the moment. However, I am more inclined that he was stimulated so that he desperately wanted to kill us both."

"Sounds reasonable." The little doctor naturally accepted Leo's feeding - a piece of pizza.

"By the way, why do you think the case will end here?" Leo expressed his confusion.

"I have asked Garcia to search the area for middle-aged men who have divorced their wives in recent years, are single, have no custody of their children, and have homosexual orientation. At present, only Raven Kim is left. Our last The profile is a child whose father is gay, and then divorced the murderer's mother. He has been hurt in his childhood. He should be around 20 years old...Garcia has checked, and there are indeed some, but they have been with their mother Away from Wyoming, living somewhere else."

"Is it because their father is gay? So they can't live in Wyoming?" Leo asked.

"Obviously, you are right," replied the little doctor.

That said, their suspects were missing, and none of these fit the profile in Wyoming, let alone in Green River.Moreover, the potential victim may only be Raven.gold.

Leo and the little doctor fell into an endless loop again.The last and most critical piece of the puzzle is the arson case at the Sunset Hotel.

"Hey, Garcia! We need your help." The little doctor called Garcia who was stationed at the headquarters. Leo still hasn't learned how to get along with this enthusiastic over-technical nerd - you know, he is a true German.

"His Royal Highness has been waiting for your arrival." Garcia's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Help us find out which ones are in Green River, the company that delivers refrigerated food, and the list of their drivers."

There was a quick typing on the keyboard from the other end of the phone, "There are three big companies in total. I don't know the private ones that haven't registered. Your information is being transmitted, please receive it."
