Jiang Yuenian buckled the gun at his waist almost at the same moment he saw the corpse.He strode around the broken white porcelain bowl on the ground, and those porcelain pieces were scattered in a pool of blood, like blanks left on a red canvas. He walked into the living room and probed vigilantly.

"No one." He gestured with his hand up.

Hannibal followed closely to check, and of course the lady was dead beyond recognition.He frowned, moved his fingers away from the poor woman's neck artery, and shook his head at Jiang Yuenian.

There is a bunch of Roman chamomile in full bloom in the brown vase on the window sill, swaying uneasy in the airflow between the door and the window, the bright yellow flower center is surrounded by white petals, and the blood slowly slides down the petals , dripping to the floor.

"Da da da", except for this sound in the living room, the breathing and actions of the two were almost silent.

They held their breath, and suddenly heard a man and a woman talking behind the door at the corner of the living room.Through the door, the soft conversation became more indistinct.

Holding a gun in one hand, Jiang Yuenian ran to the door with cat-like swiftness, and stretched out his palm to signal Hannibal to stay where he was.

The door slid open a narrow gap, and Jiang Yuenian saw that it was a kitchen. A middle-aged man in an ordinary green striped plaid shirt was facing the door with his bloodstained hands resting on the girl's. On his shoulders, he said something emotionally.The girl shook her head with tears in her eyes, without struggling or resisting, her eyes rested on the blood-stained knife on the chopping board next to her in fear.

That man was none other than Garrett Jacob Hobbs, who killed eight, no, if today's one is also his masterpiece, he killed nine girls and was dubbed the "Mingzhou Shrike" by the media.The opposite girl who was almost the same age, hair color, eye color, height, and weight as the victim was his daughter Abigail.

Jiang Yuenian widened the gap in the door, raised his gun horizontally to aim, and locked his eyes on the man's head along the front sight. From the corner of his eye, he saw Hannibal standing in place behind him. After thinking for a while, he lowered the muzzle of the gun and moved it down to the man's back. , and finally point to the hand on the side near the knife.

The door was pushed open gradually, and Jiang Yuenian decided to subdue him directly from behind.

The girl had already seen Jiang Yuenian approaching at this time, Jiang Yuenian stretched out her index finger and stood in front of her mouth, her eyes wandered to the clenched hands on her shoulders, muttering, and finally closed her mouth tightly.

The distance between the two was only a dining table for four. Just as Jiang Yuenian put away his gun and was about to subdue Hobbs with his bare hands, the sound of glass falling suddenly came from the living room where Hannibal was.

Jiang Yuenian was not angry at that moment, but "I knew it" clearly in his heart.He rushed forward, but Hobbs grabbed the knife beside him, put his arm around Abigail against her throat, and stepped back.

Jiang Yuenian's skill is enough to save Abigail in time, but he is just a rookie who just graduated from the FBI Academy, and he doesn't want to reveal his cards to the psychiatrist who is interested in him behind him.

"FBI! Hobbs, let go of the girl in your hand!" Jiang Yuenian had no choice but to stop, and pulled out the gun from his waist again.

"My daughter, my girl..." Blood oozes from the skin under the knife point, and Abigail chokes her throat and dare not breathe violently.Hobbs looked at her, gently stroked her long brown hair, and placed a tender kiss on the top of her head, "The chick is going to fly alone when it grows up, but dad doesn't want little Abby to leave home, dad doesn't want to lose You, my child."

Jiang Yuenian stared at Hobbs' hand, making an anxious expression, but his hand was steady without shaking.

"Listen, Hobbs, put down the knife in your hand, Abigail is your daughter, you grew up with her, watched her go from a babbling baby to a beautiful girl, can you go on ..." Jiang Yuenian couldn't finish his sentence because the siren outside the window interrupted him.

damn it!

Jiang Yuenian cursed secretly, watched the silver blade in Hobbs's hand flash an arc, made a decisive decision, and pulled the trigger.

Blood spots slowly spread from the middle of Hobbs' forehead, and the splash of red sprayed half of Abigail's face.The two fell down together.

He stepped forward to hold down Abigail's pulsating blood vessels, and the tears in the girl's eyes and the blood on the neck kept gushing out. At this moment, Hannibal was holding the family medical kit from outside the door, and pulled out a bandage to compress the bleeding port.Pressing their hands together, Jiang Yuenian raised his head and looked at Hannibal, "The bandage was taken too timely, doctor."

Hannibal looked up into Jiang Yuenian's bottomless black eyes, "It's more timely for Detective Jiang to shoot. Otherwise, we can only sit next to the corpse now."

The one who sounded the siren is only now late.Jack led Will into the door, and not long after, the ambulance arrived and took Abigail away, and Hannibal, who had many years of surgical experience, also left.

Jack directed the crowd to investigate the scene of the crime, and they were so busy that they couldn't tell who was from the rookie police officer Jiang who shot and killed "for the first time".Jiang Yuenian stood in the open space at the door of the kitchen, like a surgeon who just finished an operation, spreading his bloody palms, his wet front was blown by the hallway wind, and it was still a bit chilly.

And that's when Will arrives with the blanket for the frightened crowd in the police car.

"Staying here makes me feel very uncomfortable." Will avoided Hobbs' gradually stiff corpse, and handed the blanket to Jiang Yuenian, "He respects and cherishes those girls."

Seeing Jiang Yuenian's questioning expression, the two walked out of the kitchen. Will continued: "He eats people, and maybe he will share the meat with his family. He respects his prey, look—" Will pointed to the living room, There are deer heads hanging on the wall, black and yellow fur blankets on the sofa, and exquisite decorations made of animal teeth next to the TV cabinet. Such products fill the whole room.

Will continued: "He's going to use every part of his prey, those girls...Jake wants to find the other eight bodies, and I think it's going to be hard."

Jiang Yuenian tugged at the clothes sticking to his chest, stretched his fingers uncomfortably, and the dried blood scabs tightened his skin. Jiang Yuenian asked for a bottle of water and asked Will to help him wash his hands. Two dead bodies have been found, and the murderer has been brought to justice, so Jack should let everyone relax for a while."

A small trickle suddenly poured down, and Jiang Yuenian hurriedly washed his hands, but there was not much water left in the water bottle, and it was completely empty at this moment, so he could only rub the remaining small "red spot" and looked at it suspiciously. to Will.

Will didn't apologize. He lowered his eyes and seemed to be immersed in another world. After a while, he squeezed the bottle tightly and said, "The corpse in the morning was not Hobbs' masterpiece, it was a copycat. He treated girls like Treating livestock and taking the girl's lungs is just to add a side dish to his table, which is an out-and-out psychopath. I don't know if he will kill again, maybe this is his last time, maybe This is just one of the times we can find out."

On the return trip, Will returned to his taciturn state. Jack finally remembered the poor little Jiang who had suffered a tragedy the first time he went out to the police, and specifically asked him to go to Hannibal for counseling this week, and then pass the psychological evaluation next week. Come back to the case.

Jiang Yuenian thought to himself that if this was the real "Jiang Yuenian", after the counseling, he might either commit suicide by drinking a bomb in depression, or seek excitement and obsessively kill someone.He didn't believe that Hannibal, the psychiatrist who deliberately sabotaged the arrest operation, was a good person inside.

While talking about Hannibal here, Hannibal called Jack over there, saying that Abigail was out of danger and her physical condition was stable.Jack apologized to him and said he was looking forward to his cooking skills.

"What cooking skills?" Jiang Yuenian asked curiously.

"Dr. Lecter is a well-known gourmet in Baltimore's high society, and everyone who has eaten his dishes is full of praise." Jiang Yuenian saw Jack swallowing quietly, and his stomach wall squirmed in response to his hunger all day. Get up, "He asked us to go to his house for dinner later, which can be regarded as fulfilling our invitation in the morning."

Jiang Yuenian, a loner, hesitated for half a second. Between not having to cook and eating free food and not wanting to face Hannibal, he was overwhelmed by the attributes of lazy people, and agreed.Will refused without hesitation. It seemed that his desire not to see Hannibal had the upper hand. Jiang Yuenian was curious about what they talked about when they met in the office, which made Will feel so disgusted with Hannibal. .

Jack saw Will's avoidance of Hannibal at a glance, and said coldly that he should not forget to take a psychological evaluation tomorrow.

Seeing Will and Jack get along like a student and a dean, Jiang Yuenian smiled jokingly.

"Whatever you laugh at, you too."

Jiang Yuenian couldn't laugh anymore.

It was night.

Will gets out of the car midway, and he decides to go to the hospital to see Abigail—the girl who made Hobbs "The Minnesota Shrike" guilty of killing eight girls...plus his wife.

Jiang Yuenian took a shower, changed into a set of clean clothes, and drove to Hannibal's house.

He came a little late, of course he did it on purpose.The appetizers were already set on the table, and this time was just right for him.

Unsurprisingly, Hannibal hid his displeasure perfectly, with an open-minded expression of indifference, and thoughtfully asked if he was late because he was unwell.Of course, Jiang Yuenian smiled and said that he has always been an unpunctual person, and hoped that Dr. Lecter would take care of him in the future.

After the sweet and refreshing appetizer, there was a rich and mellow black truffle wild mushroom soup. After a side dish of flounder fillet with olive oil soaked cherry tomatoes, Jiang Yue Nian's appetite was whetted, and his view of Hannibal also changed. Quite a few, holding their knives and forks and trying to retract their eyes, which were looking in the direction of the kitchen.

With a burst of aroma, tonight's main course is finally on the table——

“Sautéed Pork Lung with Morel Mushrooms and Mountain Salt.”

Hannibal finally took his seat, picked up the knife and fork with his clean and strong hands, cut open, forked, with a smile on his face, tasting the delicious food intoxicated and enjoyed.Watching him eat is more like an art.

Jiang Yuenian was looking forward to this dish even more, he couldn't wait to put the red and tender lung slices into his mouth.

……

"Sorry." He pushed away the plate with a blank expression on his face, "I think I still can't bear it mentally. When I think about that girl lost a lung today..." He slowly turned his head to look at Hannibal, "I I couldn’t eat it all of a sudden.”
