Hannibal's Love and Son

Will threw a blanket over Starling who was sitting on the couch, and made a cup of ginger tea for Starling, as one should do to frightened people.

Baby Vijay slept all the way, woke up, saw Starling, "Hi, we meet again."

"Did something happen? You look sad." Baby Vijay asked.

Will interrupted Baby Vijay's continued questioning, telling the baby that it was time to wash his hands.

Starling was treated to a sumptuous and warm dinner. Even though people may not have a good appetite after seeing the bloody tragedy, a delicious dinner is always suitable for any occasion, and entertaining guests must not be shabby wait.

Hannibal's dinner can whet anyone's appetite for a taste of this exquisite and eclectic cuisine.He comforted Starling that she should have dinner. If she was frightened and grieved too much, she would not be able to solve the case and find the murderer for her friend as soon as possible if she collapsed first.

Starling listened to Hannibal's words, and tried her best to hold the fork to eat as much food as possible to compensate for her physical strength. She knew that she was about to face a fierce battle.

When we parted at night.

Hannibal sent Starling to the door, and Starling couldn't help but hugged Hannibal in the cold night.

Hannibal stroked the hair on the back of her shoulder to comfort her.

Starling got into the waiting taxi.

When Hannibal returned home, he saw that Will had just coaxed Vijay back into the bedroom.

Will said, "She might find you."

If she still reads some tabloids, she might still find us.

"Perhaps she has found out," Hannibal said, "but that won't change the outcome."

"Starling has her dark fears in her heart, which will draw her closer to me, even if she finds out." Hannibal said psychologically.

"Are you honey?" Will teased.

"I hope David's Teddybear likes honey," Hannibal replied cheerfully, following Will's words.

"Not tonight," Will said.

Will knew it, and they both knew it without Hannibal saying he was in control.

The day of Christmas Eve.

Starling visited the old castle again and stepped into this isolated and isolated place.

Starling sees Will chopping down a fine fir for a Christmas tree in the vast outlying woods.

"Need help?" Starling walked over and said.

Will stopped his movements and greeted Starling.Starling told her that she found some clues and wanted to come to them to analyze and speculate together. Discussing with them opened her mind and she could think of more. Their suggestions were always very useful.

Will beckons Starling into the house, and Starling has already talked to Hannibal on the phone before coming.

In the reception room.

"I asked the local entomologist what kind of cocoon I found," said Starling. "It turned out to be the cocoon of a moth called 'hell bug.' Not suitable for living in the climate here. I thought the killer must be an insect lover, so I joined some local insect-loving groups to see if I could find some clues."

"Motivation is an important point in solving a case." Will said out loud.

"Yes, I found out through relationship investigation that my friend's girlfriend's DNA was found in front of my friend." Starling said, "I'm still trying to find his girlfriend, investigate some of her special hobbies, and whether she has added some strange things. religious groups."

"The relationship with his girlfriend will not be the motive," Will said with a smile, "Her girlfriend will not be the murderer, not even one of them."

Looking at Will's point of view, Starling said, "But finding his girlfriend's whereabouts is still crucial. It can't be such a coincidence that they both just disappeared. Because of the DNA found in front of the friend, she was also found. Police have listed them as prime suspects."

"Think about it." Will turned his lower finger and said, "If the DNA was found in front of him, you should consider that your friend's girlfriend has also become a victim."

"The cocoon means turning into a moth. Your friend's body at that time was wrapped in the skin of his own back, and his image was like a 'chrysalis'." Hannibal said, "His girlfriend was indeed involved, but It’s not what you think. You should change your thinking, it’s unknown if you can find the truth.”

"Pupa?" Starling asked puzzled.

"What is it that wants to turn people into moths? This is the image that the murderer wants to convey. I can't think of it, maybe you can think of it." Hannibal said modestly, guiding Starling in the direction of clues.

"You should pay attention to people with similar mentality. The murderer exists in this city, and the murderer who loves to present the dead body in front of others in a way that expresses his imagination must be a murderer who loves to show off, not hide and be cautious. You will find the murderer, your friends will finally get some relief, you just need to think more clearly, there must be some clues that you missed, that will lead you directly to the target." Will said , "Is this your first case after becoming a regular? You have a good start."

Starling and Hannibal chatted with Will a lot, then hurriedly left the castle and continued to devote themselves to the case.

Christmas Eve.

Hannibal, Will and Baby Vijay shared Christmas Eve dinner together as a family.

For Hannibal, it has been a long time.

Hannibal spent a week preparing the ingredients for this.

In the living room stands a Christmas tree made by Will himself, surrounded by colorful lights, golden Christmas balls, red Christmas knots and various decorations, as well as a tree full of gifts.Each one is the baby's most wanted gift they carefully prepared for Baby Vijay.

The big shining star in the top Christmas tree was inserted by Will holding Baby Vijay.

Hannibal played variations of Christmas carols on the harpsichord while Baby Vijay sat on the cashmere rug happily unwrapping a pile of presents his parents had prepared for him.

Will leaned on the sofa, drinking white wine and watching the heart-warming night in front of him.

"Wow, I will be so beautiful that I can't sleep tonight!" Baby Vijay said happily holding the gifts he unwrapped.

Baby Vijay went around to the Christmas tree again, looked up at a gift hanging high, and turned to Will and said, "Daddy, there is your gift here too, come and pick your present."

Baby Vijay went to Ravel's hand as he said that, wondering what gift his beloved Daddy would get, as happy as he got the gift himself.

With a smile on his face, Will was dragged by Baby Vijay to pick his presents in front of the Christmas tree.

Will undoes the bow on the delicately wrapped present, which had been put on without him noticing.

Will glanced at Hannibal, and when he was opening the gift, the key Hannibal played happened to land on the end key of the song, and there was a graceful lingering sound.

"Puppy!" Baby Vijay exclaimed in surprise, "How cute."

Baby Vijay made an exaggerated look of being fascinated with his arms folded, of course he knew that it was a gift from Daddy, not him.

It is a small and cute felt dog.

Will took the felt puppy out of the gift box and showed it to Hannibal: "Are you sure you didn't confuse the gift for me with the one for David?"

Hannibal left the harpsichord with a smile and walked over, "It's made from the fur of your dogs that I asked Chiyo to collect. I think its name is, 'Encephalitis'."

As Will's reward for not raising a bunch of stray dogs, so that he doesn't have to make a helpless compromise, a small gift with heart.

Will endured Hannibal's incomprehensible sense of humor, and happily accepted Hannibal's gift.

Hannibal knew Will would like it, so he went to the Christmas tree and picked another present, and gave it to Will, to them both.

A pair of precious watches.

"Daddy, the turkey here is indeed as good as any I've ever eaten before." Baby Vijay remembered to praise the main course of Christmas Eve dinner.

A hen turkey from America.
