[Hannibal] Assimilation

Chapter 10 Hannibal's Bet

——Psychological Analysis Class of FBI Academy——

Gabriel didn't wear a uniform, and he didn't look like a college student. His handsome face was full of childishness, and he looked too small compared to the students around him who graduated from undergraduate studies.But he had a sign that allowed him to enter, and he was brought by the professor himself, so the students acquiesced in his existence.It's just that the overly outstanding appearance always makes people can't help peeking frequently, especially some young girls, Gabriel has a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, which is fatally attractive to them.

Moreover, Mingming is much younger than them, but he is not stage frightened at all among them. It can be said that his self-confidence makes him so dazzling that people can't take their eyes off.

Will had to cough several times before officially starting the lecture, and then he drew everyone's attention.

Will Graham's lectures were very impressive, and his thinking angle was very unique. Although he looked fragile and neurotic before that, the occasional glances in his lectures made Gabriel subconsciously alert. It's the look only criminals have.

Was Will Graham a criminal?

The answer is no. Although Will is a weirdo, the justice and courage in his heart are definitely no less than that of anyone in the FBI. Considering his talent for torturing people, Gabriel believes that Will is a true warrior.

He thought maybe he should learn from him?He desperately wanted to know if Will would have nightmares when facing a psychopathic murderer, and would he be so frightened that he didn't dare to cry.

This is the reason why he had a strong interest in Will. Gabriel never thought of himself as a cold-blooded killer, but he didn't know how normal people would behave in the face of those things. After all, since he met Hannibal when he was five years old, he I don't know what is normal.

The mobile phone that was set to mute was vibrating in his pocket. Will's lecture on the podium had come to an end. He seemed to be organizing his words, so Gabriel secretly took out his mobile phone.

[Where are you? ]

It was a text message from Hannibal.

[FBI Academy, just finished listening to Will's lecture, father, what did you say to him?He looked very angry when he came out of Jack's office just now. ]

[Just did a psychoanalysis for him, you stay there, I'll come to you. ]

[Whoa, no wonder he got pissed off, he must hate being seen through. ]

Hannibal looked at the text message from Gabriel, and Gabriel's tone was too intimate, as if he and Will knew each other very well, but they actually met for the first time today, right?Hannibal showed a cold look, got up and said to Jack, "He's in the FBI academy."

Gabriel waited for a while, but when Hannibal didn't send another text message, he put his phone back in his pocket, and when he looked up, he saw the man on the podium looking at him.

As if he didn't expect that some students would be distracted and play with their mobile phones in his class, Will raised his eyebrows as if he was about to get angry.

Gabriel stuck out his tongue, showing an apologetic expression, looking like a kid who got caught doing something bad, and Will couldn't vent his anger.

"Sorry, professor." When Will announced the end of the get out of class, Gabriel walked to the podium and said to Will amidst the expressions of other students who had seen hell.

"The FBI class is not easy. If you want to keep up with the progress, you have to put in 100% effort instead of doing other things in my class." Will glanced at Gabriel as he cleared the table While preaching about things, he is very majestic in class.

"I see, I'm sorry, but the truth is..."

"Gabriel." Hannibal stood at the entrance, with his coat on his arm and his left hand in his pocket casually, Jack followed him, "Detective Crawford and I have been looking for you for a long time, How did you come here?"

"Father, Mr. Crawford." Gabriel smiled and explained to them, "I wanted to come here because Mr. Agent asked me if I would consider the FBI Academy. It turns out that the courses here very interesting."

"So you're not an FBI freshman?" Will looked at Gabriel in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "I mean, you look too small, you..."

"Gabriel Lecter, you can call me Gabriel, Mr. Will, you have met my father," Gabriel shook hands with Will, watching him show a disapproving expression to Hannibal, Gabriel laughed. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but your lecture was very good."

"Thank you." Facing the compliment, Will immediately became a little cautious, not to mention that the boy in front of him was not his student.

Gabriel was very satisfied with this trip to the FBI. He exchanged contact information with Will, in the name of asking for advice on the homework of that class. I don’t know why Hannibal’s face was very bad when he left, Gabriel thought After thinking about it, he asked: "Empathy is a commonly used method in psychology, but like Will, he can imagine himself as another person and enter other people's thinking. This is a very rare talent, but his father doesn't seem to treat him that much not interested?"

"This talent is both a shortcut and a burden. Sooner or later, he will collapse. Either he will become a perverted killer, or he will be self-destructed. In this case, why should I pay attention to a teacup that will shatter sooner or later?" Hannibal raised his eyebrows He said that he is not interested in things that are too fragile, and he often worries about whether they will be damaged by playing with them. Since he already has beautiful jade carved by himself, other things are not so interesting.

"Did father think so?" Gabriel was surprised, and when he stopped to wait for the red light, he turned to Hannibal and said, "I don't think that Mr. Teacup is easy to break, but luck is enough to make miracles , Will's heart is not as fragile as his father imagined."

"Really?" Hannibal crossed his chest and looked at the boy. It seemed that this was the first time that their father and son had a different opinion, and the reason was because of another man?This made Hannibal very unhappy, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and when Gabriel started the car, he covered his hand holding the steering wheel, "This way."

"Or we could make a bet."

"What kind of gamble?" Gabriel asked curiously.

"Play a game with Mr. Teacup..." Hannibal said softly, and the car turned left at the intersection, heading in a completely different direction from before.

--HIBING, MN--

"The deer head reported being stolen about a mile away from here last night." A girl appeared naked in the wilderness. This is not a pornographic story. The girl was not violated, she was just raped impaled on antlers, as in the previous Minnesota Shrike case, and Jack has reason to believe that the previous seven missing girls were treated this way, although they never found their bodies, or any of them part.

"He wanted her to be found like this, very disrespectful, I could even feel him laughing at her, or at us." Will looked at the dead girl with a look of anger on his face.

"Where did his love go?" Jack asked incomprehensibly. Before the Shrike put the danger of being discovered to put Elis Nichols, who had liver cancer, back to her home, Will once said that he In apologizing to her, he loves all girls.

"Because they are not the same person. The prisoner in this case is definitely not the Shrike." Will said angrily, he could hardly restrain his emotions, darkness, he saw endless darkness.

"He took her lungs and I'm sure she was alive when he removed them," a forensic doctor said.

"Our ogre loves women, he doesn't want to destroy them, he wants to eat them, keep a part of them inside himself, that's how he loves them, and whoever killed this girl, treated her like Treat them like animals!" Will turned around and left, he couldn't stand it anymore, there was only complete darkness, cruelty and ruthlessness, and a little inexplicable anger, maybe the murderer himself didn't notice the anger, with a kind of anger that had nowhere to vent anxious.

"Do you think this is imitating the behavior pattern of Minnesota Shrike?"

"The ogre who killed Elise Nichols had a scene, he wouldn't leave her naked/out in the middle of nowhere, he had a house, or two, or a log cabin, one with antlers He has a daughter who is the same age as the murdered girls, with the same hair color, same eye color, same height and weight..."

"What about the imitators?"

"He's a smart psychopath, a sadist, hard to catch, no traceable motive, no pattern to follow, maybe next time he'll never kill like this again, oh yes, he did These times are unhurried, very calm and controlling the audience, like a professor who is giving a lecture." Will felt his head was about to explode, this place was too scary, and he just wanted to get out of here now.

"Who's he teaching? Does Mr. Copycat have a daughter?" Jack joked to lighten the mood, because Will's expression made him look like he was about to pass out.

"I don't know, maybe it's for the FBI? For the Shrike? Why don't you ask Dr. Lecter to do a psychological profile. You seem to take his opinion very seriously."

Through Beverly Katz's major discovery, the case has made new progress. Hannibal followed him to Minnesota. I don't know what reason he used to persuade Jack to let him participate. Anyway, he can always achieve his goal .

Gabriel is not so lucky. He is only 20 years old this year. Even if he really intends to enter the FBI academy, he is not qualified to investigate cases now. He will only be thrown into the academy to study. This puts him in a very disadvantageous position. Regarding That bet—Hannibal's participation made Gabriel unsure.

However, he couldn't do anything now. Fortunately, Hannibal shared all the information with Gabriel for the sake of fairness.

"Abigail Hobbs?" Gabriel raised his eyebrows. He was just writing a thesis when Hannibal called.

"you recognize?"

"I met once in a hiking teaching activity organized by a school, and I'm not very familiar with it." Gabriel said quickly. In fact, Abigail and him have a good relationship. They had a very pleasant chat at the time. No wonder Gabriel always treats her well. There is a feeling of familiarity. It turns out that their situations are so similar. "Why don't you tell me how you found Hobbs? I'm curious, what other methods does the FBI use to work?"

"The CIA found that there was a small piece of metal on the body of the murdered girl Elis, which was a fragment from the pipe threading machine. Through this, they checked several construction sites, Will," Hannibal said with a hint of interest in his tone, peeking behind the scenes, is a A special experience, "Mr. Graham judged that there was something wrong with him just based on a resignation letter without leaving an address. It happened that he had another daughter who fit the profile of the victim, that is, Abigail, so we went to Look...Of course, I made a phone call before that."

"For the Shrike?" Gabriel twirled the pen on his finger, and things got more and more interesting.

"Yeah, and then there was that scene where Garrett Jacob Hobbs cut his wife in the neck and pushed her out the door as we got there and Agent Will kicked in the door Going in, I heard nine gunshots, and when I went in, I found Hobbs was dead leaning on the kitchen cabinet, and his daughter Abigail was lying not far away, with her neck cut open. The girl is older than her mother Fortunately, it has been rescued now, and the doctor said that he will wake up in a while." Hannibal looked at the girl lying in a deep coma on the hospital bed, and suddenly said to Gabriel, "I miss you a little, Gabriel Bailie."

"I miss you too, my father." Gabriel answered quickly, which disappointed Hannibal, so when Gabriel asked him about Agent Will, he said coldly, "Will Detective Earl Graham is an adult, and I didn't pay much attention to it, why don't you come and see for yourself, Gabriel?"

Realizing that something was wrong, Gabriel didn't speak. The father and son were silent, only the sound of electricity from the phone remained in their ears. After a long time, Gabriel asked, "When are you coming back?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, what's the matter?"

"It's been more than a week, and I'm not used to sleeping alone." Gabriel shrugged. Although Hannibal couldn't see it, he could imagine Gabriel's expression at this time, which made him feel better. He looked at his reflection in the window with a smile on his lips.

Gabriel often had nightmares when he was a child, and Hannibal had to be by his side all night and night, so that the boy would know that he was by his side when he woke up, and then he simply slept together all the time.It seems that they have been separated before, but at most three to five days, it has never been as long as this time, it is normal that Gabriel is not used to it.

"I'll be home tomorrow night, remember to go to bed and lock the doors and windows at night."

"Of course, but...even if a thief dares to break in here, he must have his life to leave." Gabriel smiled, and glanced at the scalpel he put in the pen holder. He didn't often bring this thing with him. On the body, but knives are not uncommon at home. A good knife technique is an essential skill for a hunter, isn't it?
