[Zhongyingmei] Hear the sound

After looking through the things carefully, Arnott asked someone to bring the clothes to the FBI. As for the postcard, she mentioned it there, and the other party immediately called the kindergarten, but she did not expect that at that time The young Sachs was still having fun with the other children, so they thought they had guessed the wrong target, and the matter was accordingly let go.

But Arnott didn't think so.

Chelt came for her, so the person he wanted to kill must also be related to her, and the only child she was familiar with related to this matter was Saches.

The man's goal was clear and undisguised from the very beginning. He wanted to kill her and then get something from her. Judging from his consistent actions, he probably wanted her human skin—or something deeper. layer stuff.

For example, the pleasure of killing the same kind, the feeling and the desire to conquer.

Of course, the above are just guesses, she has no evidence, and she can't say for sure.

On the other hand, Arnott clearly remembers Hannibal's evaluation of her, and also knows that her current state has made her and these perverts have an irresistible attraction to each other, after all, like a lion in a grassland They can always find their counterparts of the same kind in the fastest time, and a qualified psychologically unbalanced person can always be taken away by another one of the same kind - who makes their prey always limited, and the robbing between them is inevitable? ?

And if you want to learn to be a qualified hunter, then the most important thing you should learn right away is how to nip danger in the bud.

There are thousands of ways to avoid danger in this world. Some people choose to warn, some choose to stay away, some choose shields, and there are always some people who choose to kill danger.

From the moment she realized that something was wrong with her, she knew that she had reached that state, and she could hold the murderous knife tightly anytime, anywhere, just to see if she wanted to.

But before she had time to react, she found that the whole world wanted her to reach out to that sharp knife.

From Nierid to Heraclo, she only saw what the new world looked like, but from Lorelei to Weasley's father Fornodis to Chelte today, she saw the new world because of her Cooperating, it simply showed its sharp fangs to her.

At the time of Fornodis, because she didn't want to change her good image in Mr. Hannibal's heart, she chose to stop. Although she didn't think that the other party would let her go, she could completely stop him in a more open and honest way. his offense.

For example, arbitrarily arranging some crimes for him, the antelope in the cage, even if the horns are still facing the sky, is already a useless prison animal that has been trapped to death.

But Cheert's appearance obviously wants to be with her forever. What makes him smarter than Fornodis lies in his concealment. He doesn't take the initiative to show up, and he doesn't know how to do things that attract people's attention. Everything about him is hidden. It seems to be illogical, but everything is full of clear and true persecution.

She seemed to have come to a fork. God gave her the opportunity to do this question again and again, and she had to make a choice among them.

The strong desire of the body drives her to choose to hold the knife, but reason and the values ​​of good and evil of the two worlds tightly restrict the hand she wants to reach out.

She struggled with it from the moment she discovered her symptoms.

what to do

She couldn't make up her mind for a long time, but she changed her mind after Fornodis—she knew that all objections were worthless in front of that person.

So that person, how did he hope?

"Has Dr. Hannibal heard about Chelt?" She couldn't hold back the call after all.

Whether it's weakness or seeking support, she just wants to hear what that man's judgment about her future should look like. She has already made up her mind, even if the other party's expectations are different from her journey, She also has to look back and go down that road again.

It is easier to gain the favor of others by becoming what others expect.

She has no emotions, and she is living in the character she set.Now it's just going from living for the sake of living to living for someone.

This kind of thing is not worth it, only she is willing.

"Of course I heard about it. Speaking of which, did Miss Arnott think of calling me to seek comfort?"

"If I'm looking for comfort, instead of calling you, I might as well spend money to hire some servants to accompany me and bodyguards to protect me, and then turn on the lights in the room all night, so that there is nowhere to hide in the darkness. Isn’t this way more direct and practical?”

After all, light always dispels fear.

"Of course, the above is just a joke. You know that I'm not such a timid person. In fact, there is something I have never known how to say. Now I want to ask you on the spur of the moment."

"But it's okay to ask. Troublesome consultations belong to my professional scope. Although I'm not working now, it's my duty to serve patients, and it's my honor to serve Miss Arnott."

"Mr. Hannibal, remember the bet I made privately before, I remember that I never returned that painting to you, I remember I said at that time, correspondingly, you can ask me a It's not an excessive request." After thinking that such wording would probably be rejected, the girl added the second half of the sentence, "You rejected me at the time. Since then, this matter has been on my mind. I think if you still If you don't agree to my request, I don't know how long it will take for the uneasiness in my heart to subside."

It's almost an obvious hint.

A request, a request that is not excessive and within one's ability.

This kind of thing within one's ability is often limited to the extent of one's efforts.A person's potential is unlimited, as long as you want to do it, there is nothing impossible in this world.

Arnott's words built up her courage, he knew her details, and she was asking him about his decisions, like what he wanted her to be.

The fierce horse handed over the saddle rope to his hand, and the falcon folded its wings in front of him.

As long as he stretches out his hand, he can reach these controlling things.

This was originally a great opportunity, if he seized it, he would be able to enjoy the pleasure of making a high-end hentai by himself, but he just lived in the crowd wearing a mask, and he suffered from the long-term habitual caution that has been subtly cultivated, causing harm He missed this once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

"It's a woman's prerogative to contradict one's promise, but it's a man's rudeness to take advantage of others' danger," said a man's low and pleasant voice from the phone, "Of course, it's a gentleman's basic morality not to refuse a lady's reasonable request, ah If Miss Note must ask me to make a request, I will not refuse such a request.

Looking back carefully, it is hard to imagine so many things that have happened recently, and I am especially worried that you will not accept it.According to your age, you should be carefree at this time, after all, you are just an adult and have just touched the edge of this world.

So if you have any requirements, I probably just hope that you will not be overwhelmed by sadness, and you can talk to me about any depression. As a psychologist, I am happy to serve you both inside and outside of my profession. "

"Is this considered self-promotion? It feels very convincing, and I'm about to be told that my heart is moved," the girl chuckled, the smile was empty and did not reach the bottom of her heart.

He seemed to be teasing her.

Keeping a good distance, being considerate and caring, as if being very special to a person, but also as if it was just a casual joke.

"Okay, after making such a big circle, I'm in a much better mood, so I just asked the question together now-in fact, I always wanted to ask a personal question, what kind of girl do doctors admire most?"

The man paused for a few seconds when he was asked, "This seems to be beyond my profession, maybe I can choose not to answer this question."

"Of course, silence is your right." The girl's voice paused for a second, "Well, I was joking just now, in fact, it's just that so many things have happened recently, I suddenly feel a little uneasy, and I've been thinking about it since then. , is it because I am not good enough that all these things happened to me, Lorelai's death, Weasley's implication because of me, the only one who survived the crime, me who suffered so much, these Is it all punishment and retribution for me?"

She said such panicked words, but the expression on her face was calm. She even picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, so calm that it was not Arnott who revealed her fragility.

Black Russian cocktails, her only recent interest.

It is best suited to the firmness of a loner.

"This is undoubtedly worrying," the man's comforting voice came into her ears through the microphone, she suddenly felt a tingle in her heart, and then some thoughts were suddenly determined, "Miss Arnott is undoubtedly a Very good girl, at least in the eyes of the world, you are."

"Is Mr. Hannibal in the majority?"

"Before I answer, Miss Arnott has to understand that I am a psychiatrist, so I am used to looking at people and events with an evaluative eye, and this eye is always the same as the world, but different from it."

"Is it because you can see the essence from the subtleties, while the world always only pays attention to the surface, even if it is a disguise?"

"Indeed, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that the camouflage is too deep and you can only see the surface."

"So...thanks, I see."

——If you want to deceive the world, you have to put on the same expression as the world; you must be courteous in your eyes, hands, and tongue—it looks like a pure flower, but it is actually a poisonous snake under the flower.

So Mr. Hannibal's words can be understood in this way: as long as the disguise is proper, it doesn't matter what she really looks like.

As long as she is bright in the eyes of the world, as long as she is normal and beautiful that he can see, then no matter how rotten she is inside, they will only pay attention to her, and only see her brilliance.

One's vision is always limited by representation.

Didn't Dr. Hannibal also say that even he has the possibility of being deceived?

Then people can only see her disguised smiling face in the sun, and then let her be full of pious, sincere smiles in the shadows that the world can't see, and then hold the sharp knife in her hand behind her back .

With so many targets under attack by Chelt, why didn't it cause too much turmoil before?

After the FBI began to investigate all the unfortunate people who died at the hands of Chelt, they found that these people were basically powerless, helpless people, and their jobs were low-level temporary workers. Without the involvement of interests, without the attention of their relatives, even if they die silently, it will be like a drop of water evaporating from the ocean, and there will be no storms at all.

After in-depth investigation, they found another thing in common: they were all or had been patients of Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Did Chelt choose his target from among the patients in the hospital?

If so, how did he choose it?

What is his criteria for choosing prey?

New discoveries always mean countless new problems, and the consequences of being confused can only be confused and fainted in the middle of the case - of course, such an ending is completely impossible to appear in the investigation bureau with Will body.

Looking at the latest data, Jack had only one thought in his heart—it seemed that it was imperative to re-investigate the details of the deaths of these patients.

But this time, they really discovered something new.

Chelt's occupation is related to clothing making, so this time the investigators couldn't help but focus on the clothes. They didn't think so much during the previous search. Relying on intuition and experience, they found an unexpected place. Xi: The victims all possessed the same strange thing.

That is a gift.

The specific content of the gift is clothes.

Each victim’s family has one or a set of clothes that do not match the family’s family background. As I said before, all the victims’ family backgrounds are not very good, and they are all single, but these clothes are basically some brands. Goods, look at the price on the label, it is the type that ordinary people can't be cruel enough to buy.The wages of the victims are a bit difficult to support themselves, so they don't need such luxuries at all. At that time, they were only regarded as doubtful points. Now it seems that there should be some inevitable connection between these things.

Thinking about the source carefully, it is extremely strange.

Two of them even threw the courier bag into the cabinet without opening it. After all, it was not something they bought. Although it was mailed to their home, they didn't intend to keep it for their own use, but the place of delivery was vague. So they didn't go back either.

The name of the sender is called "gift".

This is a gift from Chelt to these people.

But looking at it now, it may also be an omen: Look, I'm going to kill you.

And now Arnott also received this gift.No matter how the murderer finds and sifts out these victims and kills them silently, there is only one thing that matters now—Chert's next target is Arnott.

This means that if you follow her, you will definitely find the murderer.

But at the same time, it also foreshadowed the danger that the girl was about to encounter.

But isn't that the rule of this world?Crises often coexist with opportunities. If you want to get it, you must first learn to bear it.

Chelt took away the three human skins, both to vent his anger and as a gift.

He is provoking her.

Unlike most predators who are accustomed to lurking, Chelt seems to prefer to send letters aboveboard, informing victims that he is coming, and when his prey is ordinary people, he will send ordinary people. Expensive clothing, but when his prey was Arnott, he gave away his precious human leather clothing.

The materials of the clothes have been tested and analyzed, and it is confirmed that one of the raw materials is human skin. Thinking of the slippery feel of the tentacles at that time, Arnott, who knew nothing about clothing making, had no idea what the other materials were, but she had an intuition that it was not It would be something a normal girl would accept.

In addition, according to the known information, Chelt, who sent the clothes, had obviously made clothes from the human skin he took away that day.

His ready-made clothes come out so fast, presumably he should have his own place of work. Arnott is familiar with the city, and there are not many places that can provide him with such conditions, and there are only a handful of places that can be used by Chelt.

But thinking about the skills of her tailor Quillin, as his apprentice, Cheert's level is naturally not much worse, so when thinking about it, this place should not be too good to be exaggerated.

It's even possible that it's hidden in one of the most common places, only to remain undiscovered because it has a reasonable cover, such as an aboveboard workplace such as a bar hospital.

Thinking of this, Arnott involuntarily turned his gaze back to the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Heraclo once told her and Lorelai about the death story in the hospital. After that, she always thought that it was Crowe who did these things. As for how the FBI closed the case, she didn't care at all. After all, these things There was no direct conflict with her, and she only knew about it because Hannibal was one of the people involved in the investigation, but now she is inexplicably concerned about the first corpse, the female nurse named Mosley , if her eyes became Crowe's drink, what about her human skin?

In Crowe's tea bag, all they found were limbs. At first she thought they had become the first tea ingredients and had been drunk by him. Now that she thought about it, it didn't seem so simple.

So where did the skins of those who died go?

Arnott's first thought was to call Jack to ask, but before she could make a move, her phone rang suddenly.

Whose phone is it?Or text messages?It's a new development of the case, so should I inform her?

Thinking of this, she picked up the phone, but on the lit screen, the most prominent thing was a message.

The recipient of the message is an unfamiliar number, and the blank section of the long bar shows a voice message.

Arnott clicked on the voice.

The first sound that came from the phone was the crying of a child, intermittent and weak, as if with weakness and unbearable pain, but after a while, all the noise was finally reduced to silence.

Then came the voice of a man reciting poems. He lowered his tone and his voice was hoarse, so the originally profound poems were recited by him with a sense of eerie mystery. In these fragmentary verses, the most superficial panic can be seen.

"The storm blessed me to wake up on the sea,

I dance, lighter than a cork,

On the waves, the eternal shaker of the dead

For ten nights in a row, I didn't miss the stupid eyes of the signal lights.

(jumps for a while)

I feast on the green, which sometimes floats by

A pale, brooding and intoxicated floating corpse. "

"Drunk Boat"...it's "Drunk Boat" again!

She couldn't help shivering.

Thatches!

The next second Arnott realized, she called Satches' teacher.

She didn't ask Satches directly. Kindergarten teachers have been trained, and they can't inquire about the child's information unless they make clear their own information. So she said softly that today she would come to pick up the boy instead of the boy's parents, and reported My own name and some detailed secrets of the child's parents.

The young female teacher knew that Saches' parents were servants in Arnott's house, and she also learned of the death of the two adults this morning.At that time, she followed the phone number left by the two parents and dialed back angrily again, wanting to ask them why they didn't answer the phone last night, and when they didn't come to pick up their children, the person who answered the phone wasn't herself. The witnesses of the deceased told her softly that they had passed away.

After hesitating for a while, she asked if she needed to tell the unfortunate child, but she didn't expect to get the answer that Arnott, as the employer, would take over the duties of the parents, and she would also inform the news of the death.

So she told Sachs that his parents were temporarily ordered to go on a business trip, and they couldn't return for a short time.

Being servants of Arnott's house, their service level is naturally far higher than that of ordinary servants, and the level of education they have received is also far higher than similar workers, so occasionally they will replace Arnott Dealing with some irrelevant things happened to be at the same time as her important matters, so her excuse was not suspected.

On the other hand, the female teacher always wanted to pay attention to the unfortunate Satches, but the children in her class were too naughty. At first she did pay attention, but then one of her class fell unconscious. The heart-loving boy threw the worm into the girl's skirt, and the frightened girl cried, but the boy laughed nonchalantly, showing no sympathy at all.Annoyed, she reprimanded a few words, and her attention was naturally shifted.
