[Hannibal] Assimilation

"How is it? Did she say anything useful?" Jack asked his subordinates with a serious expression on his face. The case happened in a college. The mayor was furious and ordered the FBI to close the case as soon as possible to calm the panic. After all, the mayor's daughter also Attend that school.

"No, everything is correct. The key to the studio is in the office. It is usually unlocked except during off-duty hours, so anyone may enter Cross's office to get the key. If you want to say something suspicious ...She was so calm, like she knew we were going to find her, and Anita Cross was a problem in that sense."

"Go on, we have 48 hours, don't miss any details!"

"clear."

"Jack, come and see this!" Beverly Katz, the crime scene investigator, walked quickly and put the test results on the Crawford table, "Baltimore police found two people from this painting." The blood sample, after comparison, the part of the sunset here is consistent with Mr. Harmsworth's NDA, and here..."

"It's Jonathan Quick," said Jack.

"Yes, the blood is mixed in the paint, and due to time, it is much darker than this side. The other side should have been painted on the morning of the weekend. Judging from the time of the crime, there are only teachers and staff of this school. The personnel have a chance." Beverly nodded and made a circle on the photographed painting.

"That means Jonathan's accident occurred before Neil? Or did they simply disappear at the same time?"

"Probably."

"How's the investigation on the card?" Jack clenched his fists. In the FBI file in Kansas 12 years ago, this kind of writing also appeared on the card.

"The handwriting and the brand of the ink match. It is indeed the mysterious man from Kansas."

"Our Mr. Mysterious Man will really cause trouble for us. He committed another crime after 12 years. I really want to know why."

"Maybe Mrs." Beverly smiled and glanced at Cross inside.

"We don't know yet, but compared to the irregular and random selection of targets 12 years ago, this time it seems that the purpose is very strong. At least it exposes the information that there is a basis for painting. As long as we can grasp the key points, we can find them. Come."

"What is the conclusion of the profiling?" Jack recruited an FBI psychological profiler. The criminal psychological profiling was not perfect 12 years ago, and it could only be used as an auxiliary means of investigation, so they could only start with the current case.

"Unknown gender, unknown race, left-handed, between 30-50 years old, living alone, high social status, through the analysis of data from 12 years ago, it is concluded that the profile subject has extremely low self-esteem, suspected that he had been abused when he was young, but from the new The card and the modus operandi found that the subject displayed arrogance and anger."

"After all, after 12 years, it's not surprising that a criminal's mentality has changed. Everyone knows that marriage can change a person, and maybe even a career." Jack said uncertainly.

Jack squinted slightly, looking to the other side of the one-way glass. Anita Cross, female, 50 years old, teacher, left-handed, divorced and living alone, basically fit the profile.

Anita sat across from the federal agents. As time went by, her expression became a little irritable, and she asked to leave many times.

"There must be something wrong with her rushing back in such a hurry, but unfortunately we don't have a search warrant."

"It's okay, we'll find out." Jack said.

Beverly shrugged and said suddenly: "Have you ever thought about the connection between the protagonist in this painting and this case?"

"Of course, it is unexpected that the mysterious man would change the painting itself. It is very likely that what he wants to express is in the painting, and that boy may become the key to the case."

"Then... you want to use that Gabriel Lecter as a bait?" Beverly frowned, obviously not agreeing with Jack's approach.

"I arranged a guardian angel for him." Jack didn't look up. It is the duty of the FBI to protect the safety of citizens, so he certainly wouldn't do nothing.

Gabriel looked at the card, the previous one was confiscated by the police without looking carefully, and Gabriel realized that the card seemed to have appeared in his memory once in his hand.

Several images flashed through his mind, and Gabriel was lucky enough to catch it.

At that time, he was young, and he liked to hide under Hannibal's desk and eavesdrop on Hannibal's conversation with patients. Discover.

The man walked to the desk and took out a card and a pen from his pocket. When he opened the cap to write, Gabriel couldn't hold back his curiosity and went out to peek.

The man found him, put down the pen in his right hand, and reached out to catch him.

"Sorry, this is Gabriel, my son. He likes to hide and seek. I always have a hard time finding out where he is hiding."

The man's face was blurred, but Gabriel still remembered the way he looked at him at that time, and there was a strange excitement hidden under the calmness. He dared to bet that if Hannibal hadn't been present at that time, maybe Gabriel would have been killed. Choking on the spot doesn't have to be like Jonah Senquik either.

Gabriel looked at the corpse in front of him. This boy was suffocated to death by covering his mouth and nose, and then hung up here. He was tortured severely, and his body was covered with injuries. It looked like he was beaten by a baseball bat , and there was a deep wound on his arm.

"This is not the scene of the first crime. Why did he bother to bring the body here? Was Mike Pole taken away by him? Why did he take him away?"

Gabriel tried to think about the problem from the perspective of the murderer. His criminal psychology is good, and the main reason is that he is the protagonist of this case.Now that the purpose of the other party is known, reverse reasoning is always relatively simple.

Jonathan is being abused, apparently because something has angered the killer, but what about Neil?Neil fell from the high ceiling of the exhibition hall in front of everyone, still feeling insulted, and the other party was full of disdain.

Do you like the gift I gave you?

I can't contain my love for you.

These two sentences looked like love words, but in fact there was a hidden threat. He was threatening Gabriel.Although the two cards had no beginning or end, Gabriel could be sure that the other party was addressed to him.Like that painting, half angel and half demon, implying that he has seen Gabriel's true face.

Everything the other party did was expressing his dissatisfaction with Gabriel and Neil getting closer. Jonathan followed Gabriel to anger him even more, but what about Mike Pole?

By the way, Mike is somewhat similar to him.The main thing that brought Jonathan here was Mike Pole, and he was showing off to Anita like—a turf dog?

And he could also pin Jonathan's death on Anita.

Gabriel rubbed the center of his brows, he didn't know when he provoked this kind of guy, the murderer's love is really terrible.

Wait, Hannibal...

"So that's how it is, a clumsy method, my dear father is too much!" Gabriel snorted coldly, Gabriel had a vague impression of what happened in Kansas, there was no pattern, and the methods were different , except for that card.

Gabriel remembered Hannibal's evaluation of this, it was like a mutated mouse suddenly found that he was different from the mice around him, and after being frightened, he attacked all the same kind in front of him.

The man was Hannibal's patient 12 years ago, and they met again 12 years later. If Hannibal did nothing, Gabriel would not believe anything.

It was Hannibal who made him stable and confident, but over time, Mr. Murderer may have become arrogant.

Probably knowing what was going on, there was no need to stay here any longer, Gabriel walked up the stairs, he hesitated for a moment when he pushed open the iron door.

"Never underestimate the FBI, my boy."

"The best thing to do is not to be suspected."

That painting was a key point. Gabriel knew it at first glance. Jack Crawford was famous. Could he have missed it?Maybe, but then he wouldn't be able to sit where he is now, Gabriel thought.

Gabriel opened the door a crack and looked out through the gap. It happened that a man wearing a coat with the brim of his hat pulled down was passing by outside the yard. The low wall just exposed his head. Gabriel noticed Seeing him observing the yard from the corner of his eye.

He didn't panic, but thought about the whole thing quickly and calmly. Now he has few choices left, and he can only blame him for not being cautious-of course, it is useless for him to be cautious. If you want to finish Hannibal test questions.

But there is still a chance of salvation.

When the man walked by again a few minutes later, Gabriel rushed out.

"Call911, please!" Gabriel panicked, like a frightened deer, looking at the man with terrified blue eyes, "I saw something terrible!"

"Don't be afraid, kid. I'm an FBI agent. Tell me what you saw?" The man rolled over from the fence, pulled out a gun from his waist, and protected Gabriel behind him.

"I...I just...Neil told me what Teacher Anita hid in the backyard before, I wondered if it might be related to Neil's death, so I came here to have a look...I didn't expect to find out that……"

"Don't panic, tell me what you see down here?" the FBI agent asked.

"I saw Jonathan Quick, he's dead!" The young boy looked like he was about to cry, and the detective immediately called to report, and then left the boy on top to go down to check alone.

When Hannibal received the news and arrived, the body had already been taken away, and the FBI got a search warrant.Jack led them to rummage through Cross's house, and Gabriel sat in the car, accompanied by the agent who followed him earlier.

"Mr. Harmsworth told you what was hidden in Cross's backyard? Why didn't you tell the police?"

Gabriel kept looking down at his fingers on his knees. It took him a long time before he whispered in a thick nasal voice: "Anita is a respectable teacher. Before there is no conclusive evidence, I can't use conjectures. Go and frame her."

"But you turned into her yard, picked the lock and entered the basement?"

"I just... I want to help, can't I let go of all the clues? Neil is my friend, I want to help him, and Anita is also a good teacher!" Even at this time, the boy still had hope in his eyes , he raised his head and asked, "This matter has nothing to do with Teacher Anita, right?"

"Everything will be discussed after the investigation." The agent ended the conversation, and Gabriel heard him sigh secretly. Gabriel knew his own advantages, and he had a natural appearance that could easily make people lose their guard. This performance has dispelled the other party's suspicion of him, so I don't know if that supervisor Crawford is so easy to fool.

"Knock knock" There was a light knocking sound from the car window, Hannibal's mature and handsome face appeared outside, his dark golden hair was neatly combed, and a coat was added over the suit, still looking handsome.

"It's my father." Gabriel said softly, with a heartbreaking tone of grievance.

"I know him, a very good psychiatrist." The agent lowered the window and said to Hannibal, "Hello, Dr. Lecter."

"Hello, sir, I'm here to pick up my son." Hannibal looked natural, as if he didn't see the young man in the car staring at him.

"I'm afraid I can't do it right now, Dr. Jack will have to ask him in person later."

"Well, can I stay with my son?" Hannibal asked.

After getting permission, Hannibal got into the car and sat next to Gabriel. The agent left the car and gave the space to the father and son.

"You are reckless, my child." Hannibal lowered his voice and said, "I said, don't expose yourself to the FBI's sight, don't arouse suspicion."

"It's my fault, Dad." Gabriel's voice was also very low, and the father and son were almost head to head.

What a good relationship between father and son, thought the detective outside the car.

Gabriel first apologized sincerely, and then raised his eyebrows to express his dissatisfaction, "But this is your test question, isn't it? You exposed me to the FBI's sight. 'Find the murderer before the FBI' should actually be correct. Kill the killer under FBI sight without exposing yourself, right, Hannibal?"
