Jack Crawford no longer gave the reporter a hard time, but he still felt repulsed by the idea that Hannibal was the Ripper.
You must know that the two people have a good personal relationship. If the other person is really the Ripper, then this is really a mockery of his professional ability.
"I can't imagine that Dr. Lecter is the Ripper, it's too incredible." Beverly was also surprised, having no way of imagining that this elegant and knowledgeable gentleman could be a murderer.
"But one thing Freddy said makes sense. Since the other party can find Miriam, we cannot completely deny the authenticity of the news." Jack thought about it seriously.
"Could it be that the other party is taking advantage of Ms. Freddy?"
"It's unlikely. She just made a phone call and got the news and also found a lawyer for the Wayne family. This kind of social relationship is not consistent with the profile of the Chesapeake Ripper."
"I'm going to visit Will tomorrow. I hope his condition has improved." Jack thought of Will, who was being hospitalized, and maybe he could give him some advice.
"Don't make any noise about today's matter." If this matter is true, the consequences will be very serious. A psychologist specially invited by the FBI turned out to be a serial killer. If this spreads out, I can really retire early.
.
Beverly nodded, and then thought of another thing, "The reporter won't report it in advance."
Jack shook his head, "No, but according to her character, she will definitely investigate alone without us."
He was right. This was what the tabloid reporter planned. If she could determine the identity of the Chesapeake Ripper through her own investigation, her reputation would definitely rise to a higher level.
Just like what Bear Grylls said, if you still can’t find out the answer after I’ve told it, you can really eat shit.
…
Allen did not give up asking Xu Chuan about the Ripper. Young Master Xu rubbed his forehead, closed the computer first, and then told him about being followed before and his counterattack after that.
This is not a confidential matter, there is no need to hide it from him.
"Oh, God", Allen didn't realize that so many things happened when he was hooking up with girls, "Should we call the police?"
Not to mention that this person is really a good American citizen. The first thing that comes to mind is to call the police.
"How to report? I don't have any evidence." Apart from an unclear video and a nude photo of Hannibal, wouldn't it be harmful to the city to tell the police that someone was streaking? However, this guy still has a good figure.
One thing about Allen Wayne is very good. He also has a sense of justice that the second-generation ancestors lack. "How about we go to that banquet to find evidence."
Xu Chuan expressed his opinion in kind and beautiful language, "Find a JB"
Um, wait, it can't really be found, it seems impossible to say.
If he plans to make tiger penis soup, I guess it's a bit heavy.
However, Allen was very excited, which made Xu Chuan think that this kid was just looking for trouble, "Where is your Miss Marge?" Hurry and pull this kid back and continue making humans.
"Don't you know? She and Sheila went to the city center for a spa."
Xu Chuan looked confused, "Isn't it available in the hotel?"
Allen looked at him with an expression that looked like a fool. Well, he was despised.
Just like this, another two days later, it was actually Hannibal's banquet. Some celebrities in Baltimore had received invitations, including some congressmen and university professors, a total of more than 20 people. Everyone wore formal attire and gathered together in twos and threes to talk.
Talk.
Jack Crawford and reporter Ms. Freddie Louds were among them. These two came uninvited. Hannibal had been cooking with the chefs hired from high-end restaurants. How could there be food for so many people?
Maybe let him do it alone.
"How is Will's illness?" Hannibal asked Jack without raising his head as he cut a piece of internal organs into small pieces and stir-fried it in the pot.
Jack picked up a cherry from the plate and put it into his mouth, "The doctor said he needs at least twenty days of treatment." But that hospital is really good, invested by the Wayne Group, and its facilities and services are definitely the best in Virginia.
of.
"The weather has been bad these two days, and I have had a fever for several days. I was worried that the banquet might not be possible." Hannibal's cooking skills are very skilled and highly entertaining, and Dr. Bloom is also there.
While doing so.
"Then everyone will be very disappointed." Jack replied with a smile. Many people here are fans of Hannibal. This elegant and unique psychiatrist has a market in the upper class.
With an inexplicable smile on his face, Hannibal looked at a corner of the restaurant, where six or seven people were gathered, the core of which were Alan Wayne, who he did not expect to be there, and a man named Bear Gerry.
It's a tasteless name for the Chinese people in Ernst.
Xu Chuan still couldn't stand up to Allen and the others, so he was dragged to the banquet. He made up his mind and didn't even drink water. He really didn't know what he was doing.
Margot Fudge didn't know that her psychiatrist was the Chesapeake Ripper, and Allen didn't tell her. After all, there was no evidence for such a thing, and the relationship between him and Xu Chuan could not be traced.
Trust the other person without any doubt.
Surrounding the four of them were several city councilors who were related to the Fauci family, and Margo's appearance here attracted their attention.
These days, many people have heard that Mag and Allen seem to be brought together by two families. Looking at the current situation, it seems that the two families are really going to get married.
Although Margo has no inheritance rights, the surname Fudge represents a lot of things, and many people's minds have become active.
Xu Chuan leaned against the wall in boredom. These people were really boring. No wonder Hannibal wanted to feed these people food with added ingredients.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking about it this way, it seems that this is the only interesting thing.
"How's it going? Did you see anything suspicious?" Allen came over and spoke to him in a low voice, suppressing nervousness and excitement in his tone.
Xu Chuan looked at him doubtfully, "What's suspicious?"
"Human tissue, didn't you say he eats people?" Speaking of this, Allen couldn't help but tremble. Cannibalism is still against human instinct.
"Can you please stop joking? Those things are cut like this, who can recognize them?"
Chopping a person into pork ribs, unless you have learned professional knowledge and have regular contact with it, is really no different from pork.
There are also those internal organs and other things, dug out and put together, who knows who is on the body, not to mention that many of these things on site have been made into semi-finished products.
How can you tell the difference? Take a bite and try it.
"Then what should we do? We are all here, why don't we do nothing?"
"I was dragged here by you, I didn't want to come at all." Xu Chuan weakly reminded Allen that he was forced.
Allen's direction was actually completely wrong. In Xu Chuan's opinion, this dinner party probably didn't belong to anyone. After all, there had been too many accidents in the past two days. As long as Hannibal's thinking was normal, he shouldn't have done it in front of the FBI.
Do these things.
He should have thought that the FBI had begun to suspect him. If he had been more cautious, he could have escaped. However, this guy was definitely not a normal person. Holding the banquet on time was something Xu Chuan never expected.
Maybe he has some back-ups to clear his suspicions.
The best and simplest thing to do now is to search this house. With Hannibal's abnormal psychology, he will definitely keep some body tissues of all the victims. Even if not, there must be a place where the bodies can be disposed of at any time and at any time.
.
There should be some large instruments and surgical tools, and it is not impossible for him to even install an operating room in his own home.
There will definitely be traces on these things, and it is impossible for Hannibal to just replace everything with new ones after committing one crime.
However, it is impossible for the FBI to search this place without a search warrant.
Xu Chuan lightly stomped the floor under his feet, "Maybe there is evidence under our feet."
Just when Allen was about to say something, Sheila came over. She was stopped by two of her fans just now. They took photos and signed autographs. She still didn't expect that there were her fans here. She always felt that participating in this kind of
People of occasion should despise pop music.
"What are you talking about?" Sheila wore a low-key dress today, with no deep V and no back. It was completely different from her usual style, but it fit the style of this banquet very well.
"We are talking about the ingredients used by the chef today." Xu Chuan replied, and there seemed to be no problem in saying so.
Xila's eyes flashed, "I almost forgot, you can also cook. Do you want to go talk to today's chef?"
Xu Chuan shook his head directly, "No, I only know how to cook home-cooked food. This kind of exquisite ingredients is not suitable for me."
Allen was very positive, "Yes, we should go over and say hello to the owner." This guy had an ulterior motive on his face and couldn't hide it.
Hannibal was processing a piece of kidney, cutting it into slices and then coating it in flour and putting it into the butter in the pot. Xu Chuan smelled it and found that the kidney was clean and had no peculiar smell, but he was very doubtful whether this method would be delicious.
Of course this thing needs to be marked with a knife and then stir-fried. If you fry it directly, it is a waste.
Xu Chuan calculated in his mind how long it would take to cook it. Come on, it's definitely old. It's amazing that it tastes good.
Looking at the crowd around him, some ladies looked at Hannibal with admiration. Sure enough, none of these people had eaten anything good. But this guy's appearance was really impressive. He was wearing a burgundy shirt.
Wearing a vest and an apron around the waist.
"How is it?" Allen asked in a low voice.
"The craftsmanship is average, the presentation is good, and the kitchen utensils are very expensive." Xu Chuan couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at the kidneys in the pot, "If you don't put it out, you won't be able to bite it anymore."
Hannibal glanced at Xu Chuan, who was probably the first guest to express opinions on his cooking skills. There was no emotion in his calm eyes, "The heat is just right, you won't be unable to bite."
"Just because you can bite it, doesn't mean the heat is just right. The kidneys must be cooked over high heat and cannot be cooked for more than 30 seconds, otherwise they will be old. It's been almost a minute for you." Young Master Xu looked disgusted. For someone who can cook,
For a Chinese, he can despise all foreigners when it comes to food.
Hannibal didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't seem to be affected by the words of the person in front of him. He turned off the heat and picked up the pot and put the vegetables on the plate. However, Xu Chuan could still tell from the veiny hand holding the pot handle.
This guy is not as calm as he appears.
I guess if there weren't so many people, this pot would have been photographed.
Afterwards, he wiped his hands with the towel on the counter and made a plate with tomatoes. The people around him applauded warmly.
What's going on? Xu Chuan wanted to complain. The presentation was really nice, just like Hannibal must arrange the scene after killing someone.
This kind of performance is not over yet. Xu Chuan has no interest anymore. It is impossible to tell whether the kidneys are human or not. Pig kidneys are very similar to human ones and can even be transplanted. It is almost impossible to distinguish this kind of thing with the naked eye without DNA testing.
come out.
"By the way, where is the female reporter?" Xu Chuan retreated to the edge of the crowd and realized that the tabloid reporter was missing.
Ms. Freddy Louds wore a blue suit. While everyone was gathering in the restaurant to watch Hannibal's performance, she quietly went up to the second floor. In her opinion, this was a person investigating Hannibal.
good chance.
There is a small study room, a video room and two bedrooms upstairs. Her goal is the study room. Downstairs there is a study room that is comparable to a library. It is also Hannibal's office, where he receives patients.
So if there are some things that cannot be shown to others, they cannot be there, but this small study is different. It looks like a relatively private place at first glance.
The woman walked in quietly and carefully closed the door.
Her first target was the quaint desk. She pulled out the drawer with gloves and it turned out to be locked. Then she took off the delicate brooch on her chest and skillfully opened the lock on the drawer. She saw this kind of work.
No less work.
She turned on the flashlight and looked through the things inside. They were all correspondence and archives. She flipped through a few pages to make sure they were not what she was looking for.
In fact, Freddy himself didn't know what he was looking for. It might be information related to all the deceased people, even a photo that shouldn't exist, something only the murderer could possess.
She rummaged through the desk nervously, but found nothing. Freddie was not reconciled. She knew she shouldn't stay here for too long, but this kind of opportunity would probably never happen again in the future.
Then she turned her attention to the bookshelf. Many of the books on it were out of print, and some were even ancient books. The books on this bookshelf alone were worth a lot of money.
She ran her hands along the books one by one, but there were too many to start with.
She had no choice but to read a few books at random. It had been too long and Hannibal might have noticed that she was missing.
Just when she was about to reach for a book on the top shelf, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Ms. Louds, it's really rude of you to do this." A man's deep voice sounded from the door.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter arrived. He did not turn on the light in the study, but stared straight at Freddy in the shadows. The moonlight coming in from the window divided his face into two parts, light and dark. He looked at
Very weird.
Freddy's eyes widened and he was speechless. He had no excuse for being stuck here. What's more important was that the guy in front of him was probably a serial killer.
