Hannibal's Love and Son

"Starling? Where are you?" Hannibal asked to the phone.

Will looks sideways at Hannibal, and they exchange numbers in the coffee shop.

Hannibal heard Starling's disorganized intermittent panting from the phone, but he didn't speak. He guessed that Starling didn't call him, but dropped the phone in a panic, and accidentally pressed his number.

"Can you hear me, Starling." But Hannibal didn't hang up the phone, but continued talking to the phone.

It can be seen that something unusual happened to Starling.

After Hannibal's repetition, Starling recovered from her panic and noticed that she had accidentally pressed the phone, and the man she was calling was the man who had an embarrassing encounter in the afternoon.

But under Hannibal's trusting voice and tone, for some reason, she actually revealed her location almost unconsciously, which violates her quality as an FBI, even though she just became a full-time official .Afterwards, Starling thought that she must have sunk into great grief, completely lost her mind, and blurted out the location, under an unknown sense of trust that she was not aware of.

And the tragedy beyond what she had seen in her life made her know that it was not wise to call the police immediately.

Driving to the place where Starling was, Hannibal and Will got out of the car. Will saw Baby Vijay sleeping soundly in the back seat, opened the window and locked the car, and walked into the apartment that made Starling scream.

Night has fallen.

The lights in the apartment were not turned on, so it can be seen that Starling was stunned and unable to recover from her grief.

Will walked to the room with the open door and turned on the light.

At that moment, something crackled.

Will saw that lying in the middle of the room was a mass of flesh, yes, the size of a man-grown man.With an inaudible crackling sound, Will saw the huge mass of flesh burst open, and Will seemed to see countless moths flying out of it in the blink of an eye.

But no, it was a dazzling illusion of lights suddenly turning on in the long darkness, against the background of flesh and blood.

click.

It was the sound of human skin spreading and falling to the ground.Starling was so startled that she couldn't even make a sound.Will saw her eyes wide open and red.

Lying in front of Starling is her friend who came from afar for this purpose, but her friend can no longer be called a "person".

"This is really not a good congratulatory gift to congratulate you on becoming a regular." Hannibal said as he inspected the scene of the tragedy.

Even someone who knows Hannibal as well as Weir doesn't think this is a good occasion for a sense of humor.Will glances at Hannibal.

Lying on the ground was a bloody man. There was no skin left in front of him. The skin on his back was cut in equal parts and stitched together in front of him. Using his own skin as a cocoon, he His entire body was wrapped into a huge lump of meat.And just now it was the skin that lost its tension after a long time of death, and it split from the suture in the midline of the body.

This was no ordinary death, not even an ordinary homicide.

"Does your friend have any enemies?" Will asked, but he had already thought about the case in his heart.

Starling wiped her wet cheeks, and quickly stood up from the ground where she had slumped, as if she had just come back to her senses, she hurried around the room to check for clues about the relationship between her friend and girlfriend, "His girlfriend, we don't know I know her very well, but I have seen her before, and I can't get in touch with her either."

"Your friend asked you to come here for a meeting. Apart from spending the holiday together, is there anything particularly important that you want to tell you?" Hannibal asked.

"Yes, I think so," Starling replied, "but I couldn't contact him once we got to Germany, and he didn't tell me anything before..."

"Are you wearing gloves?" Hannibal asked.

"Gloves? Yes." Out of professional habits, Starling always carried special disposable gloves with her, "but I don't think we should destroy the scene."

"This is your friend," Hannibal said, "I think he has something in his throat."

"..." Starling walked back to the side of the flesh body. Seeing the tragic situation of her friend for many years, she was stunned for a while, took out the gloves from her bag, put them on, and knelt down beside her friend's face.

Starling opened the tightly closed mouth of the corpse, and professionally inserted it into the corpse's throat.As a new FBI official, Hannibal appreciates Starling's fearlessness in the face of his friend's tragic corpse.

"This is..." Starling took out an indescribable and unidentifiable object from his friend's throat.

"Chrysalis, I think." Hannibal said, "Leave the rest to the police, and your friend's tragedy will be solved. Do you want us to stay with you to take notes?"

"No... I don't plan to call the police, it's not up to me." Starling stood up and said, at this time she had completely regained her senses from the shock, and her professionalism and rationality made her understand how to deal with this murder case next.This is in Germany. Even if she is the FBI, it is impossible for her to intervene in the case in Germany, and because the victim is her murderer, she will be completely impossible to participate in the case. As the first discoverer, she may become a suspect and face various obstacles. .

Starling knew that the murder case her friend encountered was serious, and the local police might not be able to solve the case, and even if they could, they would not know how long it would take. Judging from the way the body was disposed of, the murderer was by no means easy, and assuming that the real murderer behind the case was powerful , it is entirely possible to escape the law.No, she wants to find out the case by herself and bring the murderer to justice for her friend.

She knew she could do it, no matter what the cost.Swear by her profession.

"Sorry, I accidentally pressed your number on the phone. I shouldn't have involved you in this kind of thing." Starling said, "No, there is no need to make a note, I will make an anonymous call to the police. I I will leave here, I want to solve this case myself, this is a good friend of mine, and I will never let it go."

"I like your non-conformity," Hannibal said reassuringly. "Since you have no friends here, you can come to our house for dinner. As a gentleman, it is impossible for a single lady to experience such a tragedy." and left her alone for a lonely dinner after the incident. Come to our house, a delicious dinner will make you feel better, and it will help you recall more useful clues about your friends. Maybe we can help you analyze a thing or two, and hope to try to Can help you a little."

Starling was moved by Hannibal's hospitality, but immersed in grief, she couldn't express much gratitude. She just nodded and agreed with Hannibal's proposal.

"Thank you, you guys really helped me a lot," Starling said.Yes, here, she almost has nowhere to go.

She came from afar for many years of friends, but lost her friends forever.She couldn't turn to the local police, and as the FBI, she knew the waters were deep.

Now she can rely on only herself.

Hannibal, Will and Baby Vijay returned to the castle with Starling.
