[Criminal Minds] Wooden Legs of Justice

Chapter 85 [Case 6] Missing little toe

"We only have one confirmed missing person here, and another Ilisa who I don't know...Morgan, can you make a puzzle?" The little doctor hugged his espresso to resist the drowsiness brought by the afternoon sun.

"I don't think it is possible to succeed." The big lion said pertinently: "With the dim light, plus the makeup on the woman's face, and her hairstyle, it is almost impossible to recognize it."

The little doctor scratched his head in distress, the fact is indeed the case.When the Hollywood actress who needed protection appeared in front of him, he didn't recognize it.Women always have too many faces.

"Are you sure that Ilisa is missing? Anything is possible in an environment like a bar." The little doctor was not sure.I feel that Morgan's nervousness is a bit nervous, as if he likes that woman very much, so it is easy to make people lose their original judgment.

"She said she was going camping with her friends, or going on an adventure..." Morgan said.

"What!?" Little Doctor and Leo said at the same time.They looked at each other, and it was the suburbs again! ?What a coincidence! ?

"This is where Castile's last signal appeared." Molang pointed to a forest in front of the car.

At this time, the car has already driven to the suburbs, and there is no car on the road. It is estimated that it will be even more deserted at night. What is castile doing here?

"He never had any contact with the contact person after that." Molang said after being silent for a while.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the woods.The woods are not particularly dense, and there are many shrubs, making it difficult for people to get off.

"Has it rained recently?" Tim looked at the ground and asked Molang, who was looking at the GPS location.

Molang shrugged: "I just arrived last night too, so I don't know the weather here."

"The soil looks a little different here." Tim knelt down and reached out to grab the dirt on the ground.Sure enough, the soil in other places was hard, but this piece of soil still had a little bit of toughness, as if it had been watered here.

"We want to thank the vegetation here is rich enough." Molang sighed after looking down for a while.

If this sunny weather, no matter where the vegetation is sparse, it is estimated that there will be no traces left. Fortunately, the vegetation here is enough to withstand the evaporation of the sun for a few days.

"If it rains, we will know whether there is a car passing by here." Molang said with emotion.

Tim looked at the dry ground and said helplessly, "Castile will never walk here by himself. It's far from the city." Molang choked.

"What's the noise outside?" The little doctor stood at the door of the office and looked around.I saw a large group of policemen "hula" rushing into the police station.

"What's going on?" Hotch grabbed the person in charge and asked.

"Forget it, a corpse was found." The person in charge said with a livid face.

"What a strange thing! Found a dead body!" Morgan cursed.

"To be precise, it's a part of the corpse." The person in charge said with a grim expression, "Usually dismemberment cases are not murders of passion..." Everyone understood the meaning of his words. According to BAU's experience, it is likely to be a serial killer.

"I'm going to make a call." Hotch made a decisive decision, meaning, this is their case.After all, prevention is more important than detection.

"Rossi and the others will be here at night." Hotch said, and walked towards the forensic room with the little doctor and the big lion.The person in charge is leading the way, anyway, the authorization will come down after a while, not bad for such a while.

"You go in." The person in charge stopped at the door, and it seemed that he had no intention of going in together.Of course the four BAUs wouldn't mind, they signaled him to do whatever they wanted, and then the little doctor walked inside first.

"It's really just a part..." The little doctor said, looking at the leg in front of him.

"It was found in the sewer." The forensic doctor told them: "The repairman only saw this in the sewer. The other police have already dispatched and will continue to search within a certain range."

"I'm not proficient in knife skills. It doesn't look like a habitual criminal." The little doctor frowned and looked at the cut surface of the broken leg. It was not a smooth cut surface, and it looked like it was done by someone with no medical knowledge.

"It's also possible that the rats in the sewer destroyed the evidence. We still have to wait for the test results." The forensic doctor said.

This corpse has been in the sewer for a long time, and the recent temperature is not low, so it is obviously impossible to preserve it completely. The highly decomposed state made it leave a few pieces when the little doctor turned it over with his hands. The piece of meat is on top of the plastic sheeting.

"Oh, I'm sorry." The little doctor said awkwardly.I don't know if it was about this leg, or about this leg, or about the forensic doctor.

"Is this person disabled? Was there an accident or something?" The little doctor observed and found a small piece of bone missing from the foot in a pile of rotten flesh.

"Where?" Leo also leaned over to observe.

The corner of the forensic doctor's mouth twitched, should it really be BAU?It feels powerful!Is it really good to be this close to a highly decayed limb?

"Did a mouse gnaw it off?" Leo looked at the countless wounds on the limb, and with the non-fresh body parts, he couldn't tell which wounds were caused after death.

"Rats won't bite off the bones." The little doctor pointed to the missing little toe and said, "The other toes are all there."

"It's also a direction, let Garcia check it out." Hotch said.

Morgan connected Garcia's phone: "I'm going to bother you again, babygirl." Morgan quickly finished the search request.

"I didn't know there was an overtime notice that came so quickly...I was just on my way back thinking about where to go for lunch today when the call came. Seriously, I'm not complaining about the job, we both Love it... I just want to say that next time I have something to say, I can finish it all at once." Garcia spoke quickly while typing on the keyboard, "Okay, oh, the comparison result is no, okay, the little toe is missing in the medical records No one is missing, at least not reported missing."

"What about private clinics? Small irregular clinics?" Morgan said: "If manual workers living in poverty may not have medical insurance, they are most likely to find such a place after an accident."

"Private clinics...No, I can't do anything about irregular ones. There are countless places like this, and there may be no online database..." Garcia's voice trailed off: "But I can provide you with a list of some clinics... ...The information in these places is irregular, they may have admitted patients but there is no record... Ha, their finances seem to be wrong..."

"Garcia, are you looking at their financial statements!?" Hotch said sinisterly.

"Oh, no, it's nothing. I mean, you can go and have a look, and report if you have any problems." Garcia hung up the phone resolutely.

The forensic doctor looked at several BAUs blankly.

A few seconds later, the email chime rang, and they received a text message from Garcia with the names of several private clinics.

"Who are these people?" Tim gasped and spread out on the passenger seat.He reached out to touch his black sweater, which was wet under his ribs.

"It might be a local gangster. It doesn't look like a good guy." Molang stepped on the accelerator decisively, and the car sped out on the road.

"Hang on," Molang said to Tim.

Just now they were preparing to return in the woods, but they suddenly met a dozen or so people who looked like gangsters.Without further ado, get ready to do it!Fortunately, the two had good skills and quickly slipped away.It's a pity that the wound on Tim's body couldn't withstand large movements and opened again.

"Hotch's gonna kill me. And maybe Henry," Tim whined.

"You went to the hospital with this wound, and the doctor may have to call the police." Molang gloated.

"Find a private clinic, the doctors there won't meddle in their own business." Tim closed his eyes and meditated after he finished speaking.

"It really doesn't look like a medical institution here." The little doctor looked at a dilapidated facade in the alley and said.

The two companions nodded one after another.But the big lion smiled as usual: "It's a place where you can't see the light." Seeing other people looking at him, the big lion explained: "Some wounds will be reported to the police when they arrive in the hospital. You know. Some people are always injured. No one can know about it.”

The little doctor took a sympathetic look at the big lion, always feeling that he used to be a mercenary who would often come and go to this kind of place.

"I think, with his dandy appearance, there will be a private doctor running after him." Morgan didn't know whether he was mocking Leo or comforting Reid.Hotch actually nodded in agreement.

"Well, it's reasonable to exist anyway." Leo put his hands in his pockets, looking unscrupulous.Anyway, Morgan is the truth.

"This kind of place is definitely not qualified!" The little doctor decided to report it after the case was over. Garcia will definitely support him.If that's the case, he can ignore Garcia's betrayal of his and Leo's whereabouts.He can represent himself, and the big lion's share can also be decided by him. Of course, some benefits may have to be ceded on the bed...

"If these places are closed, there will be many injured people who cannot be treated, and they will definitely not go to formal medical institutions. What's more, there will be other new openings after this place is closed, which cannot be prevented. Kid, this is the reality, you can't solve everything. There are many such helpless things in the world." The big lion said, his little doctor is always so serious.

"Yeah, like there are always serial killers who are allowed to exist..." Morgan said sarcastically.He is not a fool, after working together for such a long time, seeing Leo's behavior pattern, he can guess the general idea no matter what.To be honest, he wasn't particularly receptive, but it actually felt pretty good to work with Leo, and that's where Morgan struggled.

"That's why I'm here. If it can't be solved, the government can only acquiesce!" The big lion didn't care.

After entering the door, the inside was really chaotic, and no one noticed their existence at all.But this is also a good thing, at least they don't have to reveal their identities so quickly.Sometimes unannounced visits work better.

Hotch's gaze puzzled and he surrendered to a man inside the corner.It wasn't because he chose a place that was both unobtrusive and convenient for observing the audience, but because the tall, brown-haired man looked familiar.

"He has resistance scars on his body." Morgan said to Hotch calmly.He also noticed this man. Hotch nodded.

The little doctor was a little nearsighted and couldn't see clearly. He was about to take a closer look when he heard a "crash", and a partition curtain beside the man was pulled open.

"Molang, it's done." A weak voice sounded, and then, a golden head poked out from behind the curtain.

Hotch's face turned livid in an instant.

Tim, who had just run away for a whole day, met hotch in this situation.
