[Comprehensive British and American] Righteousness without haze

Dr. Lecter's home has a fireplace, but it is rarely lit. In other words, in this era, even if there is a fireplace at home, there are really not many people who still use it.Therefore, when Noel walked in, the entire interior was filled with a cold tone... In fact, this kind of decoration layout and orderliness really make it easy for people to feel that it matches the weather outside.

Not to mention that the situation indoors is not relaxing right now.

The doctor who invited him stood at the table, while the other two people who had never met were all seen in Baltimore newspapers back then, and a person who had something to do with the Chesapeake Ripper once A doctor locked up in a mental hospital, who is said to be good at imagining criminals committing crimes to solve crimes... Detective?

He remembered that the tabloid reporters at the time seemed to be trying to portray this analyst as a terrifying lunatic who could turn into a murderer at any time... Although he didn't think it was such an exaggeration, at least they were all invited by the analysis department, but looking at it now The situation does not seem to be much better.

Noel has never studied medicine, but as a profiler, he has studied psychology. Naturally, he can see that the other party's current situation is not a so-called mental problem, but more like epilepsy.

Hearing the voice, the equally well-dressed doctor turned his head, "You're here."

"He doesn't seem to be in a good condition." The brown-haired detective said that, seeing the expressions of the other two, it seemed that he didn't intend to take care of it, and there was some doubt in his tone.

"Yes, mild epilepsy." Hannibal explained like this, but he didn't seem to be going to help.

Hearing this, Noel frowned slightly, "Is he your patient?"

In fact, when he first came in, he didn't expect that there were two other people present, so he greeted him politely like that, but he thought they were just talking about something, but he didn't expect that after approaching, there was another person who was physically injured. situation.

It’s not that Noel doesn’t know the relationship between these two people when he asks this question. He can even dig it out from his memory and learn that the gentleman who is not in good condition is Will Graham, the one sitting at the table His name is Gideon... In retrospect, he had the same surname as their senior predecessor... He just suddenly remembered after seeing that gentleman who was suffering from an illness. In the past information of the doctor in front of him, there is a little He didn't connect the information in series.

Although Hannibal Lecter is a very famous psychiatrist, it does not mean that every treatment of the other party is perfect. Not many, it should even be said that some patients were transferred from Hannibal before harming their psychiatrist. To a trusted psychiatrist, it is very suspicious in itself.

This is not very noticeable, so if this phenomenon is not frequent for a period of time, it is easy to ignore the past, and Noel will suddenly remember that he just saw Will's current state, and then his mind became a little bit A flash of inspiration.

But assuming Will was going to attack the people present with his illness, in the current state of the other party, the more dangerous person was not himself, but that Dr. Gideon would be more powerful if he wanted to attack.

"And a friend." The scrupulous-looking doctor added so, even though the behavior of this person was not at all like what a friend should do.

The profiler with short light brown hair raised his eyebrows slightly, and he had some understanding of the word "friend" in Hannibal's sense.Judging from the profile, people like Hannibal don't have friends like this, but he does, and looking at the current situation of this friend... It's really a bit confusing to be a friend of such a guy Sympathy.

But this also shows that there must be something special about this gentleman that makes Hannibal think they are friends.Based on the other party's current situation, it's hard to tell what's going on, but if you look at the information revealed in that newspaper, you can't figure it out.

Will Graham's ability is to find clues through in-depth understanding and feeling of the criminal's mentality, to understand the criminal's state of mind and motivation. The way of contact is very easy to cause mental instability. If you don't control it well, you may really become a criminal. What's more, the other party has an exception to invite consultation because he failed the test at the beginning. For Hannibal, perhaps such an existence who can understand his thinking and empathize with him is qualified to be his friend... Or, he is more willing to push behind, and then let the other party truly recognize himself The so-called essence, that is, a very satisfying friend.

Although Will is also a crime analyst, he is still different from the bau profilers he knows.

Through the analysis of knowledge, of course, they will also get in-depth contact with and understand the psychological state of the prisoner, so as to speculate on the race, age, personality and other information professionally.But Will is different. He knows the state of the other party when he commits the crime by feeling the prisoner's psychology. He will feel the same joy, satisfaction and other emotions as the prisoner. Profilers, when they are also exposed to the mental state of the prisoner, will not have such a strong resonance, and even feel disgusted and disgusted.

So it is not completely wrong to say the so-called true essence, because the other party will indeed empathize with the prisoner's feelings, but just this does not mean that the other party is an essential criminal.

However, these analyzes are not meaningless. For them, they are willing to believe that Will cannot be a criminal in essence, but for prisoners, it is different. Since Hannibal wants to make the two parties become friends, maybe Some of his previous actions... Or committing the crime is not completely meaningless. In terms of the other party's IQ and external image, it is not wrong to try to trick this analyst into the world of crime. impossible.

Once there is such a possibility, after committing crimes based on mood without rules to committing crimes with a purpose, there will be more loopholes left by this person.

Now that such a conclusion has been drawn, the analyst's weight on Hannibal's side will never be light. That is to say, the other party will not let Will really die because of the current symptoms. It is necessary to worry too much... Although from the profile, maybe people like Hannibal will use this disease to do something.

Noel, who was a little relieved, didn't mention Will again, and turned the topic back to the business, "So, what's the matter with me today, doctor?"

"Please sit down, Agent Evelyn." Hannibal made a gesture of invitation, and then glanced at Dr. Gideon who hadn't spoken yet, "There was a little accident, I hope you don't mind."

Noel sat down obediently, not commenting on this, but he looked at the doctor with the same surname as their chief profiler who was still calmly sitting aside. Judging from the newspapers he had read at the time, the other party Regardless of whether it is the Chesapeake Ripper or not, he is a prisoner who has already killed a person. In this situation, he should have escaped, but after hearing Hannibal call himself, he is still sitting so calmly. , but he is not afraid of arresting him.

...That's right, the analyst who is still sick also has the right to arrest, and he was so calm when he was still there, now it won't be so bad to have one more himself.

Completely ignoring the other two people, the gentleman in the three-piece suit finally opened up the topic. He put his hands on the table, crossed his fingers and said, "You know, Tobias once came to see me."

The two sitting clearly knew that the other had bad intentions, but they were still more polite than the other on the surface. If you didn't read the content of their conversation, you would really think that this was a purely friendly exchange.

Hannibal said the name directly like this, although Noel has a good memory, he also didn’t know who the other party was talking about. This name made him feel strange, even more strange than the names of the other two people present. , but the other party said to himself, that person has looked for him, so he must be someone he has an impression of.

And I have the impression that there are only two people who came to Hannibal again, Ethir and the manager of the string shop.Asil had nothing to do with the name Tobias, so it was pretty obvious who this person was.

The brown-haired and green-eyed wizard turned his head slightly, his brows seemed to be raised from this angle, and he asked, "That fanatical musical instrument lover?"

Hannibal nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little, "It seems that you both attach completely different importance to the two parties."

This is obviously referring to the fact that Noel doesn't even know the other party's name at all.

"We only have one side." The brown-haired detective's expression didn't change much, and he didn't think it was a problem at all that he didn't know the other party's name.

Noel really didn't think it was wrong that he didn't know the name of the shopkeeper. He was just a customer who didn't stay long, and the other's name was never mentioned in the newspaper. He didn't know the other's name, didn't he? Is it anything but normal?

Dr. Lecter slightly raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, but continued: "We met once before he came to me."

Noel's expression remained unchanged, and Hannibal continued obediently, "He said he wanted a friend, but you don't have that tendency."

The corners of the boy's lips also rose, but it wasn't a friendly smile. He said, "He didn't tell me about it, and I don't think I have the basic conditions to be friends with him."

"Yes, you don't have that tendency." The doctor let go of his folded hands, "He didn't even have time to ask you."

"He was killed by you, Doctor Lecter," the profiler reminded.

"That's right." The gentlemanly dressed doctor pursed his lips and did not deny the fact, "But we are talking about friendship."

The bias in these words was so obvious that Noel squinted his eyes and asked, "So...you called me here today because you think I should be friends with him?"

"No." Hannibal shook his head and denied the question. He said, "I invite you here, just to chat with you about friends."

"That will be a very long conversation." The boy opened his eyes again, the corners of his mouth looked a little inexplicable, "I'm not your doctor, Hannibal."

When the other party said this, Noel understood what the doctor meant.As analyzed before, Hannibal tried to become friends with Will, not in the outward intimacy of the disguised gentleman's skin, but intimacy on the dark road together after learning of his true bloody interior.As far as the other party is concerned, Tobias is a person who is very similar to him to some extent. Like Will, he analyzes criminals psychologically and will be in touch with the spirits of those prisoners. Hannibal said before that Tobias wants to be friends with him, and the reason why the other party wants to talk about friendship with him is almost understandable.

But they are different after all, not to mention there is no such good thing in this world.

"We're not short of time, Noel," the man answered him.

Hearing this, Noel leaned back in his chair, glanced at the fugitive prisoner and the sick analyst, tilted his head, and said with a smile, "But I don't think so."

"I mean, maybe the next time there's a banquet you'll be happy to attend?" the doctor changed his expression without changing his face.

This time, the boyish wizard's smile deepened, and he refused, "I'm not interested in banquets with human ingredients. You are much ruder than I imagined, Hannibal."

Dr. Lecter also smiled, and retorted, "It's not always like that."

"Even if it's a goldfish kept in a water tank, every individual in their world is different, don't you think so, Lecter?" The profiler put his hand on his lap, bowed his head and After stacking them, he looked up at the man who invited him, the smile on his mouth didn't weaken at all.

"But in the eyes of humans, there is not much difference." Hannibal retorted like this, still looking gentlemanly and polite.

Hearing this, Noel doubted the other party's statement from the bottom of his heart, "For example?"

"There are indeed differences in color, body shape, gender, age, physical fitness, etc., but no matter what, from a human point of view, it is just a goldfish." Dr. Lecter's explanation was also very obedient.

Noel continued, "Just to watch, but you think eating them would be more satisfying."

"The original meaning is not edible." Hannibal's words seemed to be a conventional rebuttal, but he quickly continued: "But nothing is static, and the same thing will have different meanings for different people."

"You can't become Hannibal Lecter if you stay the same." Noel said this, as if agreeing with the other party's statement, but he couldn't see anything from his expression, and then he seemed to be puzzled, and asked: " Would you be friends with a goldfish, Hannibal?"

Hannibal spread his hands, "If that goldfish is as smart as a human being."

"Goldfish have always been smart." The green-eyed profiler twitched his mouth, but it didn't look like he was smiling, but the meaning of the rebuttal was still obvious, and the next sentence made the meaning even stronger. Obviously, he said: "But you said that for human beings, there is no difference between them."

"If he's smart enough to become a human, then there's a difference." The well-groomed doctor didn't seem at a loss for this loophole, and his expression was still calm.

Noel twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's not easy."

"At least in my experience, I have seen more than one." The doctor said with a smile, looking at the extremely beautiful face.

"Then maybe they weren't goldfish in the first place." Noel raised his eyebrows, but didn't express his agreement. "Or maybe they just want to be human goldfish, and the human brain is also prone to hallucinations."

Dr. Lecter's smile remained unchanged, "Maybe you're right."

"Then if it's a hallucination, or if he doesn't succeed in becoming a human in the end, what are you going to do?" The wizard's eyes lifted a little, and this kind of question added a bit of difference.

"Then he's just a goldfish." The man restrained his smile and replied like this.

"Even if you long to be friends with this goldfish?" This answer is probably not unexpected, but Noel still asked the question.

"I don't desire to be friends with a goldfish, Evelyn." The doctor who said this seemed to have a tough attitude, and his eyes were still fixed on the pair of blue irises.

Noel's face didn't change much. He said, "I guess you don't want to become a goldfish, so let's change the direction."

Hannibal did not refute, but just waited for the other party's next words, such a gesture seemed to wish to hear the details.

"I said that goldfish are actually very smart, Hannibal?" The boy brought up the topic again, and the sentence was a little doubtful about asking for certainty, but it seemed more aimed at reminding the other party of this matter, There was not much expression on that delicate face, and naturally there was no doubt about this emotion.

Hannibal tilted his head and gave an affirmative answer, "That's right."

"Perhaps it's not because he can't become a man, but because he doesn't want to?" The profiler's eyebrows and eyes looked a little gentle under the effect of the light brown drooping on his cheeks, but the words he said were not gentle at all, "If he Don't want to befriend you?"

"It sounds a bit embarrassing." Hannibal said, but there was no trace of embarrassment in his expression, and then he answered the question: "If it's like what you said, then he's still just a goldfish. "

Noel blinked, looked around, and asked another question: "How many goldfish are there in your fish tank?"

"This question is a bit difficult to answer." The doctor frowned slightly, "You see, birth, old age, sickness, death, and renewal are not something I can stop."

"Then you will die one day." The brown-haired wizard raised his chin, and then said, sounding very impolite and indifferent, but none of the people present felt unhappy about it.

There seemed to be tolerance and gentleness in the eyes belonging to the psychiatrist, and he replied: "Everyone will have such a day."

"Yes, I will have such a day." This time, Noel did not object, but agreed with the same answer. After a pause, he asked again: "Would you like to invite me to meet that day earlier? huh, Hannibal?"

"Your politeness will never be offensive, Noel." Lecter replied tactfully, and then added: "People with good etiquette are always easy to make people feel good, you know there are always some people who don't like Understand the importance of education."

The boy from Slytherin agrees, "It's true that foolish and reckless people are not pleasant."

But soon, his words turned around again, "However, if you are too demanding, you will be a little paranoid. There are always some people who are not well-mannered, and if they are pleasing, they will not be disgusting."

"Of course, not many can do this." Shrugging, Noel made such a concluding remark.

The corner of the doctor's mouth curled up again, and he said with some sarcasm in his tone: "If this is at a banquet, I should toast you a glass of wine now."

"If it's in a speech, you should applaud me, Hannibal." Following the words of the other party, the wizard then made an analogy. It was hard to see if he was joking, but it was better than the previous saying that you will also die. It would have been a lot better to have said that one day, and he was still calling Hannibal instead of Lecter.

"If I meet you giving a speech, I will." Hannibal replied with the same expression, and he couldn't tell whether it was perfunctory or serious, but after all, there was no problem on the surface.

In this regard, Noel also responded to the previous toast, "If it's not the banquet you cook, I don't mind toasting you."

"That's really sad." As he said that, Dr. Lecter's face showed no sadness at all. "They said my craft is not bad."

This statement is actually a bit modest. Judging from the data, many people expect that the banquet held by Hannibal is mainly for the other party's cooking skills. This is enough to show that the doctor's cooking skills are not only good, but also very good. .

"To be precise, it's very good." The profiler added, his expression seemed to be very sincere, and in fact he was never stingy with praise.

This kind of scene looks like the two people are having a good conversation and have a very good relationship, but in fact, everyone knows that they are not even friends...Of course, Noel has no intention of being friends with the guy opposite. .

Just look at the short curly-haired criminal analyst who is still standing around suffering from physical discomfort, and you can see how sad it is to be friends with this guy.

The author has something to say: Tsk tsk, when they talk about the topic of goldfish becoming human, my mind always pops up that animals are not allowed to become fine after the founding of the People’s Republic of China...

Ah, by the way, you should still be able to understand it, right?Hannibal didn’t ask Noel to be friends, he asked Noel himself (Hannibal) and Will to be friends list 20 characters away, I’ll come up…
