[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

"Hey, can you read lips? I didn't know that, it's amazing! I know people in some industries go through this kind of training...but, to be honest, BAU is not really the first line " Reid exclaimed.

Leo glanced at the little doctor with a half-smile: "Are you only realizing it now? Let me tell you a joke."

Reid is a bit blindsided, telling a joke now?He didn't understand the connection, but the little doctor still had a bad feeling.

"There is an animal called a walrus in the world. One day the walrus R stepped on a sharp stone. After 1 minute, he yelled: 'It hurts!'. Is it funny?"

For a moment, Reid had the urge to stab the lion to death!How dare you laugh at him for being unresponsive!

"Didn't I just focus on why you came back!" It's unreasonable, Reid thought angrily.

"I didn't even know that Dr. Reid cared so much about me!" Leo omits the main content and distorts Reid's words.

Compared with lip service, Reid has always had to lose.The little doctor is angry.

Simply, the car arrived soon. Leo's driving skills are excellent and he made it back to school in no time in this bad weather.At this time, even the local police hadn't arrived yet!

But this is not a good thing.Especially when Reid was the first public official to see the death scene.

"As I said, I received a call." Reid had to explain over and over again to the teachers and students who thought he had the ability to predict.

"If you say it has predictive power, it's more like Leo." Reid thought to himself.

Time back to 15 minutes ago.When the worn-out Chevrolet police car approached in the night with a sports car flick in the heavy snow, the principal of St. John Middle School welcomed them in as a savior.

That old-fashioned and serious face was covered with dense drops of sweat—in this cold weather.The headmaster no longer looked like a gentleman, and his panic made him look at least ten years older.

The principal took Leo and Reid to the first scene - Mr. Petter's office.

To be honest, Reid has seen all kinds of crimes and all kinds of dead bodies.But seeing a raw death scene is really a first-time experience.The tension made his palms sweat slightly.

At this time, there was no one around this office, only Leo's footsteps sounded along with his own footsteps.

"Obviously lions have meat pads! How can they hunt like this..." Reid admired himself very much. How could he even think about such futile things...

A man hangs above the door frame in the inner office.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Reid felt that the man's neck was extraordinarily long, which made him look terrifying.

"It's not an illusion. The neck of a hanged person will be longer. Because the 'bow'-shaped spine is stretched by gravity, it will be slightly longer. Moreover, people's vision will be enlarged when they are afraid." Leo in Reid He was smoking a cigarette beside him, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.

This made Reid feel very ashamed.Although it's not like those teachers who vomited on the side, but Leo saw his fear...

"I'm still a senior agent!" But not as good as a "rookie"... Reid habitually ignored what Leo used to do...

Red still feels bad, but not just because of Leo.After all, this was the first time he had seen the body of a person he knew.This person had even had a serious conversation with himself three hours ago, although his attitude could not be called friendly.

However, this originally lively, talking, and expressive person suddenly turned into a pile of meat... Reid didn't know whether he should feel more sad or disgusted.

The office was neat and clean, without any signs of fighting.The scene looked like that Petter had hanged himself from the door frame with a belt.

"He cooperated with us in investigating the situation in the afternoon! God knows why he committed suicide!" Reid said to the police who came later.

Reid obviously didn't think Petter committed suicide, but after the forensic examination followed by the police, he said: "It's definitely a suicide!"

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the serial murder case investigated by the BAU, but since the deceased was Mr. Petter from St. John Middle School, the matter was a bit complicated.

Hotch thought there was something to do with it, and it might be a murder to silence, so he sent Leo and Reid. Rossi is skeptical.

"Hey, officers, I think it's getting late. I've finished the transcript, so I'll go back first." The sweaty principal bid farewell to everyone, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Leo and Reid didn't find anything, so they bid farewell to the policemen together with the principal.

"Hey, Leo, tell me, what did you hear those students say in the restaurant today?" Reid was always curious about what news Leo heard, so much faster than the police!

Obviously the sequence should be like this: Someone finds Petter dead, calls the police—the police receive the call, informs hotch—hotch contacts them.Given the distance from the police station and small restaurant to st. John's Secondary School, there's no reason why Leo can go so much faster!Even more suspicious were the students who were terrified and panicked - if Leo learned about Pett's death through them, how did the students know about it?Still ahead of everyone!

"You also think it's suspicious!" Leo said to the little doctor who squinted his curious eyes while driving, "I heard what they said: that nasty Petter wants to tell everything, he wants to drag everyone into the water ?"

"That's all? You use these to deduce that something happened to St. John's High School?" Reid thought it was incredible.

At this time, Reid's feelings are contradictory and complicated: on the one hand, he is extremely surprised by Leo's reasoning ability; on the other hand, he feels that such an approach is too hasty.

"How can you be sure? If we passed by, it's possible that nothing happened." Reid turned his head to look at Leo who was driving, with a cute expression like a little squirrel.

Seeing Reid's expression, Leo suddenly felt bad!Do you want to look like this!The big lion hasn't lived enough!I don't want to die young!

Leo tried his best to ignore the little doctor beside him, trying to divert his attention: "Be prepared! Take it easy kid, don't be so nervous."

Leo organized his words, and then said: "Listen to what they said, it seems that poor old Petter has hidden a lot from us! Even if it has nothing to do with the case, he has hidden a lot of things, which doesn't sound like a good thing If he is not dead, we may need to talk to him. Besides, what kind of person would try to tell a secret that has been hidden? A person who is ready to die, in other words, he is preparing to commit suicide. But, just in the afternoon, he still didn't know anything about us! What I'm more interested in is why he made such a sudden change."

Reid couldn't help but look at Leo more.It seems that this big lion is serious and powerful, not just a big cat that can only play tricks!

Reid knows that although he is a genius with an IQ of 187, he has always lacked a holistic view in terms of case analysis.It can be said that among the BAU, only Gidien, who has retired, has this kind of "foreseeing" ability, and even Rossi can't do it.However, today he saw it in Leo.The kind of calmness, but also the ability to quickly grasp the key points and make quick judgments...

At this time, Reid really realized that the man in front of him who was so handsome that people ignored his ability was the legendary lion.

"But I think those students are also panicking. Are they panicking about what Petter is going to say?" Reid himself fell into deep thought: "That means these students are also involved in something that may be very bad, and Petter is also in the know."

"Great reasoning!" Leo glanced at Reid appreciatively.

"However, what would involve such a large student? And cover it up. What's even more strange is that Petter seems to be involved."

Leo smiled with a cigarette in his mouth: "In this kind of religious school full of rules and regulations, what other behaviors are exposed that make students so disturbed?"

The author has something to say:

The next chapter will be ambiguously upgraded!At the Montbat Hotel at night, in the same room, alone and widowed... I wouldn't say that BAU will have a meeting soon!
