Chapter 761 First meeting(1/2)
Dr. Hannibal Lecter walked into the hospital, carrying an insulated bag that was completely inconsistent with his rigorous and elegant image.
I asked the nurse about Will Graham's ward, walked through the corridor and took the elevator to the corresponding floor.
After sorting out his suit and tie, he rethought in his mind what he was going to say when he met Will.
It didn't take long to arrive at the door of the ward, and first looked inside through the glass. Will Graham was lying on the bed with a hanging bottle hanging next to him.
He knocked lightly on the door, but Will didn't respond. He seemed to be asleep.
He opened the door and walked directly into the ward. He first hung the coat on his hand on the hanger, and then walked to the bed.
After looking at the names of the drugs being infused, I learned that the hospital had started immunotherapy for Will.
Hannibal looked at Will on the bed expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he opened the thermal bag and took out the prepared soup basin and bowl.
The voice rang in the quiet ward. Will Graham opened his eyes in confusion. It took him a while to see the person clearly. His nose twitched a few times as if he smelled something, "It seems to smell pretty good."
Hannibal was pouring black-bone chicken soup into a bowl, "silky-bone chicken soup, a bird with black bones that has been revered in China for its medicinal properties since the seventh century, wolfberry, ginseng, ginger slices, and red dates
And star anise.”
"Dr. Lecter, did you make chicken soup for me?" Will's eyes were full of surprise and gratitude.
"Of course, come and try it." Put the chicken soup on the table.
Two people were sitting at the table, drinking chicken soup and chatting. The scene was extremely warm, and the key point was that it was abnormal.
Hannibal needed to let Will confirm it himself. He had mentioned before that Will undergo a comprehensive examination. In his opinion, it was hardly a problem after experiencing a period of cognitive impairment and the preparation he had done for such a long time.
"Will..." Just as he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the ward.
Hannibal looked in the direction of the door with a sullen face. Several people pushed the door open and came in. The leader was someone they knew, a very troublesome woman, Freddie Louds.
Will did not recognize the two people following him, so Hannibal searched his memory and determined the identities of the two people.
Alan Wayne is the youngest son of the Wayne family, and the other Asian face should be Alan's good friend Bear Grylls.
The visitors were none other than Xu Chuan and Allen. After they finished breakfast, Xu Chuan went back to the room and saw that Xila was still asleep. They happened to take the time to come to the hospital.
Allen didn't quite understand why he wanted to see an unrelated person, but seeing that the other person was very interested, he followed him.
I met Ms. Freddy in the parking lot. She came here for work. She wanted to know what Will thought about the totem pole case. She didn't seem to know that the other person had severe encephalitis and just thought it was ordinary.
Just a car accident.
The moment Xu Chuan opened the door, he felt a very unfriendly look. How unfriendly could it be? If someone looked at him like that in a war-torn area, he would definitely collapse first and ask questions later.
As for this, he must at least be put on the blacklist until he sees clearly the other person's appearance in the shadows.
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then took a step back without leaving a trace, and carefully looked at the house number and the patient information beside the door.
Well, this question is no longer familiar, but it’s still the same question, what kind of plot is this?
As a patient, Will was full of doubts. After all, he fainted after the car accident. It was Ms. Freddy who broke the awkward atmosphere and explained to the other party.
Of course, this reporter knew very well what to say and what not to say. She said that after Will's car accident, he was the one who belonged to Allen, but she did not say that the car accident was also caused by them.
After waking up yesterday, the attending doctor explained that he had encephalitis and that some of the recent symptoms of cognitive impairment were caused by this, so he subjectively thought that he fell ill while driving. After all, he had no memory of that period at all.
impression.
"Hello" Will stood up a little awkwardly, looking very nervous and looking away.
Hannibal, who was sitting on the side, also stood up to help Will out. This guy's social barriers were really serious.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Thank you very much for helping my friend Will." He politely extended his hand to Allen.
Hearing this name, Mr. Xu's inner drama was so rich that he had no place to vomit.
No wonder he felt a very unfriendly look just now, it turned out to be this person.
Xu Chuan took a step back, worried that someone would pounce on him and bite him. At that time, it was really a difficult decision whether to push Allen out first.
Okay, he thought a little further.
I turned my eyes to the table and saw only ordinary chicken soup. It was boring and I didn’t know if anything else was added to it.
Xu Chuan has a big problem, that is, he can't keep his mouth shut. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "The black-bone chicken soup is really good. Is someone pregnant?"
One sentence made several other people look over.
"We in China usually use this to recuperate the body of pregnant women after giving birth. By the way, you can also drink this if you have irregular menstruation." Then his eyes looked back and forth between Hannibal and Will, as if he wanted to see them.
Which one is a pregnant woman? This is not always the case in the United States.
Allen was still holding hands with Hannibal, and he clearly felt the other person's palm tightening. Well, he was really embarrassed.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Dr. Lecter let go of his hand, "The absorption of nutrients does not differentiate between men and women."
Xu Chuan instantly entered a state of argument and almost shouted, "Come on!"
However, Allen kept making subtle gestures to him on the side, probably to ask him to restrain himself.
Nodding regretfully, Xu Chuan said to Doctor Hannibal, "You are right."
He didn't know what the other party was thinking, but Allen felt that if it were him, he would have to challenge him in a duel, but the problem was that he couldn't beat him.
"We are just here to visit Mr. Will. Since you are fine and have guests, we will not disturb Mr. Will's rest." Allen came over and put his arms around Xu Chuan's shoulders, "Brother, let's go first."
Xu Chuan was a little resistant. He hadn't asked whether Will's ability could be learned by ordinary people.
However, this time was really not a good opportunity to talk, and there was a beast squatting next to him, always looking at him with incomprehensible eyes. Xu Chuan was worried that he could not help but do it to him here.
He didn't think this Hannibal could dodge his bullets. This was not a fantasy world. Eating people would gain experience.
He now knows that this is the famous gourmet, ogre, and Chesapeake Ripper, who may have eaten more people than he knows.
It's not the movie version of the plot, it should be the drama version, but unfortunately he hasn't seen it, he only knows who the actor is in Uncle Ba.
However, how should I put it, this is none of my business, and there is no need to help the United States maintain social harmony. There is not even a death penalty, so why arrest him and live in old age? Anyway, the American people are having fun and respect the fate of others.
As long as he doesn't offend him, Xu Chuan promises not to make the first move.
"You seem to be very hostile to that Doctor Lecter." Allen asked Xu Chuan curiously as he got in the car.
Xu Chuan shook his head and started the car, "No, he is hostile to me this time."
"Um, why didn't I see it?" Although Allen trusted Xu Chuan very much, he still couldn't understand this statement, "That Dr. Lecter seems to be a very gentleman."
Judging from the custom-made clothes on the other party, it is certain that Dr. Lecter is rich, and his conversation and behavior are equally good, giving people a very good impression.
But the friend in front of him was just the opposite. He was wearing what they thought were cheap outdoor sportswear and spoke and acted in a manner that made people feel vulgar.
If the two of them weren't so familiar, it would be hard for Allen to imagine that he would become friends with the other person.
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes. In this world where faces are judged, beasts really become humans when they put on human skin.
But he couldn't blame Allen. He seemed to remember that in the book "Red Dragon", after Hannibal was captured, many people in Baltimore suffered from anorexia.
This gourmet is well hidden and has a high status in the local area. Not only is he an excellent doctor, he is also famous for his cooking skills. He also holds regular dinner parties for everyone to taste his craftsmanship.
"Be careful with him. This person is not as simple as he seems, especially don't eat the food he gives you." After a reminder, Xu Chuan stopped talking about this person.
Allen carefully recalled Dr. Lecter's behavior, allowing his friend to remind him that it seemed that this person had a side that he had not seen, and he chose to trust his friend.
But why can't we eat each other's food? This is very strange.
Ms. Freddy did not follow them out, but chatted with Will and Hannibal for a few words. Only then did she know that Will had encephalitis, and she immediately gave up the idea of asking him for information about the case.
But there was still work to be done, so she could only change her goal and ask.
Not long after she left, another friend of Will's, Dr. Alana Bloom, also arrived at the hospital, which completely disrupted Hannibal's plan.
He didn't want to stay any longer, otherwise he would arouse suspicion. After putting away the dishes, he said goodbye to Will and Alana and left the hospital, feeling a sense of powerlessness that he could not fully control the whole thing.
But the good news is that Will is not suspicious of him. It seems that the various preparations he made before have indeed gained Will's trust, so dealing with Jack Crawford with all his strength is the top priority.
…
It was almost noon when Xu Chuan returned to the hotel, and Xue La had already woken up and was lying on the bed boredly scrolling through her phone.
Seeing him come in, I raised my head and gave him a smile, "I thought you forgot me here."
Xu Chuan replied angrily, "Yes, I'm here to pick up my luggage. Who are you and why are you on my bed?"
Sheila giggled, got up from the bed and walked over, dragging the sheets with her. Her whole body was in much better spirits than in the early morning.
"It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time." He lay on Xu Chuan's chest and complained, then raised his head and gently bit his Adam's apple.
To be continued...
