[Comprehensive] Protagonist Survival Plan

The next day, Xue Shurong went to a coffee shop as scheduled.

A new cold current has swept through every street with the coldness of winter. She wrapped her thin woolen long trench coat tightly, breathed into the palm of her hand and covered her pale cheeks, shivering from the cold.

...well, trying to save money by not buying clothes is a really stupid decision.

Pushing open the door, the warm aroma of coffee beans blows in.This street corner coffee shop is not big, and all the seats can be seen at a glance. The simple lacquered wood seats and the milky white walls are hung with a few travel landscape photos, and several rows of books and magazines are placed against the walls.The waiter walked quietly through the aisle carrying the trays. There were not many people sitting in the coffee shop, and occasionally the ding-dong sound of the glass wall and the vague whispering that the spoon touched inadvertently when stirring.

Compared with the noisy noise in the street, Xue Shurong seemed to have fallen into an overly peaceful space of another dimension.

"……Wow."

For no apparent reason, she felt much better.

Everywhere he looked, the inviter sitting in the corner nodded to her.

With black hair and gray eyes, he is tall but thin, and his elegant posture is very much like a noble gentleman in the Victorian era.

"This is such a good place, how many times I have passed by but never found it."

Sherlock got up and opened the seat for her, took Xue Shurong's coat and handed it to the waiter: "Occasionally try something that has never been experienced before, and maybe there will be more discoveries. What do you drink?...Mocha? Cappuccino? Dry cappuccino?"

"Uh……"

Xue Shurong froze for a moment, then watched Sherlock turn around and confess to the waiter: "A large dry cappuccino, a muffin, and a cheesecake."

"Okay sir, please wait a moment."

"How do you know I'm what I want? What if I hate you?"

"If you were disgusted, you would have spilled coffee in my face."

Xue Shurong was amused by his cold humor: "The cost of the inspection is a bit high."

Sherlock was noncommittal.

The few conversations between the two had just begun, and the waiter came over in time with the tray.Baked soft muffins and delicate cheesecakes are placed in delicate white porcelain dishes. The blue mug is large, and the foamy milk floating inside is sprinkled with small particles of cinnamon powder. The sweetness of the milk and the bitterness of the coffee The mellow fragrance is intertwined.

Xue Shurong took a sip, with white foam on his lips.

"Delicious!"

She has never been stingy with praise for food.

Sherlock's elbow rested on the table, his fingertips clasped together, and his lips curled up slightly upon hearing this.

"Looks like my coffee is saved."

Xue Shurong's cold palm absorbed the remaining warmth of the cappuccino, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, showing her neat teeth, and the milk froth around her lips was quite childish.

He was slightly dazed.

"By the way, what did you want to say yesterday?" Xue Shurong scooped up a small spoonful of cheesecake and fed it into his mouth.

Sherlock took out a sorted document from the file bag and handed it to her.

"Look at some missing persons cases in recent years."

"These……"

Xue Shurong put down the spoon and carefully browsed through the pages.

"I am concerned about these disappearance cases since a classmate from the drama club disappeared suddenly during the summer vacation. The police mobilized the maximum police force as much as possible. Unfortunately, the case has not been solved until now."

"But you..."

"I've spoken to him a few times and know he has a psychiatrist who he visits frequently."

The two looked at each other briefly.

"Doctor Hannibal?"

"Yes." Sherlock reached out to help her turn a page, on which was a photo of a street close to a residential area.

"This is the place where he disappeared. There was a strike parade some time ago. Some public facilities were destroyed by radicals and are still being repaired. And he—"

The slender fingers tapped the lower left corner of the photo.

"This is the blind spot of the surveillance video. I'm not sure if the police have found some clues."

"Could it be that they have an appointment, or that Dr. Hannibal was here at the time of the incident?"

"I can't get the information."

Xue Shurong was silent for a few seconds: "I see, you want their information, right?"

"There are a few things that are not right. There have been three criminal suicides in two years, and some time ago, prisoners from Shawshank Prison also escaped. Unfortunately, Dr. Lecter has given them psychological treatment."

Sherlock was analyzing it calmly, and she suddenly remembered that the policeman who kindly gave her a ride had mentioned this matter while dragging the semi-zombified Penny to the hospital.

——He is very powerful. The so-called experts before have made no progress. Although Dr. Hannibal seems a little unreliable because of his young age, it is obvious that the effect is remarkable, and those patients have all confessed.

—All pleaded guilty?

—Almost, except for two who couldn't stand the pain of being imprisoned and chose to commit suicide.

Xue Shurong frowned uneasy: "This cannot be used as evidence, the base is too small."

"Assumption is only the first step. The truth needs more evidence. Last week, I should have been discovered when I followed him."

"...Sherlock, it's against the law for you to do this." She picked up the mug, "Okay, wait for a while, let me try it out."

The original doubts that could be ignored were suddenly magnified, and Xue Shurong was suddenly at a loss.If Hannibal really had frequent killings, why did she return safely again and again?Could it be that the neighbors are too close and it is not easy to start?

Who are the innocent people around?

Out of vigilance, she agreed temporarily, but she couldn't eat the delicious food.

"I'm going back."

"terribly sorry."

Sherlock said so, without the slightest apology on his expressionless face.He sent Xue Shurong to the door, and while Xue Shurong was in a daze, the warm camel scarf was wrapped twice and tied on her chest.

"?"

"It's going to snow."

"Thank you."

Xue Shurong's face was slightly flushed, showing a somewhat shy smile, but he was filled with emotion in his heart——

If she was an innocent little girl, she would have fallen in love by now.But now she is like a heterosexual insulator, not to mention her heartbeat, she hasn't even moved a hair.

The feeling of emotion lasted until I went home.

Snowflakes floated in the sky, and the sky gradually became gloomy.Xue Shurong put on the earphones and chatted nonsense with Jarvis until she saw Hannibal.

Xue Shurong squatted down and hid beside the hidden bushes.

It took a long time for her somewhat bewildered brain to recover.

——Wait, why are you hiding?

Xue Shurong was about to get up when Jarvis' voice suddenly sounded: "Miss, Mr. Hannibal is approaching here."

She subconsciously took out her wand and quickly murmured a spell: "charm (disillusionment spell)!"

"..."

Hannibal squinted his brown eyes and stared at the empty bushes with a penetrating gaze. After a while, he turned and left.

Xue Shurong's back was covered with cold sweat.

She watched Hannibal open the trunk of the car, take out a bag from it, and follow him through the door involuntarily.

This is a home break-in...

However, how can I get out later?Xue Shurong felt a little regretful, but the door was closed, so he could only follow silently like a ghost.

Hannibal took off his shirt, revealing a strong and powerful male body. His muscles are not exaggerated, but they are extremely explosive, without a trace of fat, and the sexy mermaid line extends all the way into his pants.

Xue Shurong blushed.

In order to avoid suspicion, she silently turned into the study beside her.Xue Shurong, who had stayed here for a night, walked to the bookshelf familiarly, and browsed line by line. She wanted to take a book down, but she was afraid of leaving traces of fingerprints.

Dr. Hannibal is very knowledgeable about this, and if it is found out, she will not be able to explain it.

"This is……"

There is a closed notebook on the desk, and there is a photo on it, which looks old, and the photo is slightly yellowed. On it, two children about five or six years old are standing at the door of a villa, with reserved and decent smiles.

The wind blows outside the window, and the photo is suddenly turned over.

On the back was a line in sharp cursive letters—Hannibal Lecter, Misha Lecter, before moving.

Misha?

So this girl has a blood relationship with Hannibal, and her name happens to be the same, which is why Hannibal asked endlessly about her name that day.

Xue Shurong suddenly felt enlightened.

"Boom boom boom!"

A sudden knock on the door made her stop.

Just in time, you can take the opportunity to sneak out!

Xue Shurong walked quickly to the living room, and the conversation between the few people continued.

"...when was the last time you saw him?"

"He came for counseling the Saturday before he disappeared."

"Did he say anything?"

"It's just general confusion. Sorry, I can't tell you due to the principle of confidentiality."

What a coincidence, isn't it those FBIs?

They should be inquiring about a certain case, Xue Shurong carefully planned to leave, but Reid's eyes suddenly stared in her direction.

He was quiet for a moment, and walked over without saying a word.

Has it been discovered? !

Xue Shurong took a step back, bumped into the table in a panic, made a slight noise, and everyone's heads turned around quickly.

Oops!what to do!

"Red, what's that?"

Reid's back was thin, he shook his head, squatted down and reached out to grab a chubby little white mouse, the expression on his delicate face remained motionless, but the female companion at the door was startled.

"Oh that's disgusting, throw it out!"

"It's a domesticated pet mouse with no disease."

Rhett ran a finger over its head, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a sausage.He came in a hurry and hadn't eaten his meal. He originally planned to settle it on the way, but now it seems that there are small things that are more needed.

"Eat."

Xue Shurong, who was in a panic, successfully used the Animagus transformation magic.It is said that the transformed animal has the same temperament as the person herself, so she is basically a mouse who can only see the light...

Facing the half sausage that was so close at hand, Xue Shurong couldn't escape, so he could only chew with tears in his eyes, his cheeks bulging round.

After about a few minutes, there was no question from the other side, and they planned to leave: "Red, let's go."

Yeah, you go away, go away!

"There's a little left."

vomit……

The size of the mouse is small, how can it eat as much as a human, Xue Shurong's stomach is about to explode, but Reid does not intend to let it go, and insists on stuffing sausages into her mouth.

Ah, food kills her!

"boom--"

The huge explosion successfully diverted their attention to the outside, and the few people at the door were stunned.

Xue Shurong took the opportunity to break free from the shackles and ran away from the gate, crying and crying.

Freedom is just ahead...ahead...

Wait, what is this?

In the next second, she froze on the spot, her two little paws drooping in the air, and her eyes widened.

The villa on the opposite side was instantly turned into a pile of ruins by an unknown object, and the choking smoke drifted far away for a while, Xue Shurong's eyes wandered, and he fell limply to the ground, crying out loudly.

Don't say that the pile of garbage in front of her is her home!
