After Gu Qing teased Will, he stayed around the city again before going to Hannibal's office in the city.

Hannibal seemed to have just sent off a guest, and as soon as he looked up, he saw his adopted son appearing by the circular bookcase on the second floor.

Sain sniffed lightly: "It turns out that Will was arranged here by Jack for a psychological evaluation." ”

"Indeed," Hannibal asked with interest, "what do you think?" ”

Sain thought for a moment and said, "I'll replace it with a new aftershave." ”

Hannibal was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Sain walked down the ladder and asked Hannibal, who had just given Will a psychological evaluation, "Is Will's psychological evaluation normal?" ”

"Jack Crawford knows Will is okay and he'll continue to be out in the field." Hannibal leaned back on his desk and said in a very pleasant manner.

Sain was thoughtful, but did not speak.

In fact, this is exactly what Gu Qing expected, Hannibal always treats "capable people" like Will with a special expression, well, he is also in Hannibal's list of "capable people" now, but I don't know how long he will stay at the top of this list, and how long he will stay on the list.

Both of these will be directly related to Will's table xiàn.

Two days later, Jack Crawford, the FBI's behavioral science team, called Will out of class while he was lecturing to his students and asked, "How much do you know about Cupid?" I mean the serial killer Cupid, and to date we have recorded a total of eleven cases that echo his modus operandi, and that's still on record. Looking at his first recorded crime, skillful and methodical scene, without any DNA records or fingerprints, we speculate that it was not the first time he committed a crime, just-"

"Found his favorite modus operandi," Will muttered as he continued his words, and at Jack Crawford's gaze, Will pursed his lips, "I've seen reports about him. ”

And then it was gone.

Jack Crawford: "......" are the three sticks that make a fart a stinking temper.

At the scene of the crime, the forensic trio had already arrived, and they were following up on all the cases related to Cupid the whole time, at this time, Jack Crawford asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jimmy Press replied: "This case is different from the past, in the past, Cupid murders were particularly clean, this time, look at the victim, the torture is almost out of shape." Although the final modus operandi was the same as Cupid's, we thought—"

Jack Crawford continued: "Think it's a copyout? ”

"Or did he suddenly change his modus operandi and add a sadistic essence to the cold sidelines? Is this a step backwards? Perhaps we can find clues that may have been left behind by his negligence. ”

Jack Crawford nodded and looked at Will, who was looking at the scene of the crime in a daze, and everyone else left in amusement, leaving the space for Will.

Will closed his eyes and began to enter a unique space of thought.

After a few moments, Will came back to reality, his brow furrowed, and Jack Crawford came over and asked, "Will, you-"

Will began to say of his conception: "There are two people. ”

Jack Crawford was taken aback: "What? ”

Will's brows furrowed even tighter: "The one who pursues the prey, and the one who finally completes the hunt." No, I can't confirm if the former is chasing prey. ”

Since the appearance of the serial killer 'Cupid', the behavioral science team has always thought that he committed the crime alone, but now Will said that there were two people, and Jack Crawford pressed the tumbling emotion in his heart and said in a deep voice, "You have to make it clear." ”

Will pursed his lips and said, "Jack, Cupid is showing his place in the food chain, and the people he hunts, no, are the prey in his eyes. And his prey, which is at the same time a hunter in the food chain, at the bottom of the food chain is ordinary prey, it is innocent and has never hunted other ordinary prey. ”

Jack Crawford's face was even more ugly, even though his face was already dark, and he couldn't see the change in his expression: "You say that, can I understand that Cupid's victims are all perpetrators in other cases?" ”

Will didn't notice Jack Crawford's ugly face, he was still immersed in the thought of connecting with 'Cupid': "I'm afraid that the media described him as a vigilante, maybe not wrong, but I'm afraid he won't like the title, he's just hunting, he's a more advanced hunter, he's showing that, to someone else, someone special." ”

It is not unreasonable for Jack Crawford to look ugly: "But five of the eleven cases we have recorded have been innocent. ”

Will was adamant about his thoughts: "No, Jack, you'll have to re-examine the victims, none of them will be innocent, Cupid has made sure they're on the second leg of the food chain." ”

Jack Crawford's face can no longer be described as difficult to describe, think about it, Cupid is a serial killer who hunts people with murders, but the FBI believes that half of them are innocent, if this is confirmed, not only the behavioral science team, but also the entire FBI will become a laughing stock.

Jack Crawford, the leader of the behavioral science team, thought a lot for a moment, oh, one thing is undeniable, this must not be known to the media. He took a deep breath and changed the subject: "And what about the other person you are talking about?" He's Cupid's helper? Did they always work together as a couple, or did he just become Cupid's accomplice? ”

Will replied honestly, "I don't know." ”

And then it was gone.

This completely ignited the anger of Jack Crawford, who had mixed feelings in his heart, and he raised his voice sharply: "What the fuck do you mean by saying you don't know? ”

This startled the rest of the group, and the forensic trio looked at each other and tacitly did not go any further.

Will's eyes flickered, but he still told the truth: "I can sense such a person, but I can't connect with his thoughts, and his thoughts are to me, uh, how to put it, like if I talk to another person, I use English, he speaks French, I don't understand French, so I can't communicate with him, that's pretty much what it means." Maybe he was the one who was very special to Cupid, otherwise with Cupid's exclusivity when hunting prey and hunters who were one level lower than him, he would not have let people participate in the hunting process. ”

Jack Crawford: "...... How？ This is obviously a reference to Will's inability to perceive the mind of one of the suspects.

Will shook his head honestly again: "I don't know either." ”

Jack Crawford really threw punches in quick succession, and then hit the cotton named 'Will', and it was himself who was hurt internally.

There's nothing to say now, Jack Crawford waved his men in to sort out the crime scene, and no matter how up and down his mood was, he had to find out the recorded cases that belonged to Cupid, and dig deeper to see if Cupid was hunting hunters, as Will said.

Originally, Will said that only Jack Crawford was present when he conceived the idea, and even the members of the behavioral science group watched from afar, and this idea was theoretically known only to the two of them.

But for Gu Qing, who wanted to know how far Will's sympathy ability could go, it was not a problem to know this conversation at all, and even more, he listened to it in real time.

I have to say that Gu Qing was amazed by Will's ability to empathize, and he understood better why he became Hannibal's "new favorite" so quickly. In addition, he has to re-evaluate Will's potential, and trust him, it's absolutely necessary.

Well, I just don't know how Will would respond to Dr. Lecter, who knew about 'Cupid' when he brought the matter of 'Cupid' to Hannibal? A little curious... This.

So, let Jim go and find out.

Lecter House

Recently, the number of new personalities, from the ancient countries of the Far East, and the appearance of the Jade Rakshasa from martial arts novels, has been greatly reduced after 'Cupid' committed the crime again, which undoubtedly increased Jim's time, and he gloated to Hannibal in particular: "Foreign dad thought he could fly against the wall, and he could pinch people to death with one finger, but unfortunately the reality is so cruel - tsk, he also said that he was going to practice what internal skills, seeing him so pitiful, I was going to shed tears of sympathy~" It is really not convincing to say such things in such an excited tone, but it is full of schadenfreude.

In the past, martial arts didn't say that they were the first in the world, but it was definitely #Talking and laughing between the ashes #, but now, given that he is just a derivative personality, he has not loaded the skill of martial arts, that is, even the skill of the point is a little ineffective, it is really #The listener is sad and the listener is crying#Ah.

Hannibal raised an eyebrow: "So this time the prey looks like it has been abused?" ”

"Humph!" Jim was angry when he said this, his cheeks bulging, and then deflated like a deflated ball, "I don't like to involve him at all, but Sain told me to let him do it, and now it's okay, my sign almost let him smash!" ”

"It's not entirely unbeneficial," said Hannibal, who now had sorted out the "food chain" between the derivative personalities, and had to glance at Seengard, who picked up his words with a little hesitation, "He interfered with Will's ability to empathize, well, proves that ideas are not without borders." ”

Hannibal puffed up his face when he saw Jim again, and told him good news: "With Will on board, Jack Crawford's behavioral science team has re-examined the prey case files that you had hunted. ”

"Oh, Will, your taste is so special,-" Jim said in an aria, then lost again, "Ah, Daddy, you're so lucky, why didn't I meet such a special Will first?" ”

"Trust me, he's going to be even more special." Hannibal looked so smug and unabashedly expectant, and it was clear that he was pleased with Will.

Jim pouted, seemingly nonchalantly asking, "Do I want more than one sister?" ”

Hannibal restrained his uncontrollable affection: "Abigail Hobbes? He chuckled, "Why do you think that?" ”

"Nothing." Jim stalks his neck and just doesn't say why.

In Hannibal's plan, Abigail Hobbes, the girl who made Will feel guilty and had an empathetic effect, was an indispensable part, but he also had no intention of influencing his father-son relationship with Jim, so he groaned and said: "She is more like Will's stepdaughter, she is now considered by Will to be his responsibility, and I have a sense of obligation when I was present to witness her father being killed by Will, from the scene at that time." ”

In the early morning of the second day of this conversation, Hannibal received a call from Will saying that Abigail was awake, and Will asked Hannibal if he wanted to go with him to visit Abigail in the nursing home, Hannibal had a sense of obligation in a theoretical sense, and he should have gotten there, but he looked at his adopted son who was exercising outside in the morning, and said to Will: "You don't mind if I call one more person, do you?" ”

……

This is the second time Will has seen Angel - Will only knows that Angel has a dual personality, and thinks that he has met Angel twice - he understands why Hannibal brought Angel here, and he also suffered from trauma, or trauma from his faith, and in some way is very similar to Abigail, who has suffered trauma from his father, and they may have a common language or something, and maybe they can form a #support group#.

Will was embarrassed by what had happened before, so he looked away after a brief greeting, but this time he saw neither Angel nor Sain, who he had seen last time, but Jim, who was trying to pretend to be his boyfriend. So as soon as Will turned his gaze, Jim, who was still serious, winked at his adoptive father, and was glared at by Hannibal with helpless reproach, Jim put on a "okay, okay" look, and disguised himself as Sain again, but there was still a difference, Hannibal could see it, but Will, who didn't know much about him, could be fooled.

They didn't seem to be Abigail's first visitors, and when they walked in, Freddie Lowndes, a self-proclaimed journalist from Crime Discovery.com, was talking to Abigail about her "right to free speech" and Will: "...... He can catch those madmen because he can think like them. ”

Will, who pushed the door in, could not get Miss Lowndes to give up her rights, and after one look at Will, he continued to say to Abigail in the hospital bed, "Because he's a madman." ”

Freddy Lowndes had rare red curly hair, wore a cape and a leopard-print skirt, and wore a shiny leather bag, and now combined with that rare natural red hair, it made her look cheap and like a... Prostitute-woman.

Her crime network has been in the limelight lately, and it was because of her reporting that a local police officer who provided her information was shot by a serial killer, which also made the serial killer almost escape. Now it seems that she has shifted the news to the woke Abigail Hobbs, the daughter of the "Minnesotan Shrike Bird" serial killer, well-informed, and so impudent that she behaves like a hyena.

Overall, she's really hard to like.

It was like now, she was about to leave, but when she passed in front of Jim, who was pretending to be Sein, she paused and stared at Jim for a few seconds: "I remember you, the bishop's murder a year ago was really a sensation, I was trying to help you do an interview and publish a book, but I didn't find your information, so you are-"

Hannibal spoke out unquestioningly: "Lady Lowndes, you really should leave. ”

Moments before leaving the house, Freddy Lowndes quickly pulled her business card out of her bag and stuffed it into Jim's hand, who looked unpredictable.

Jim kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression.

But this scene has different interpretations in different eyes, and in the eyes of Hannibal, an adoptive father who knows his adopted son very well, Jim may now be thinking about how to end Freddie Lowndes.

- Hannibal's greatest dislikement is for rude people, apparently secretly recording outside his office during the first meeting, and mischievously writing misleading articles about Will on her crime mystery website, which is enough to put Freddie Lowndes at the top of his list of impudents. Naturally, Hannibal wanted to make the world less of such a rude person, but she was still somewhat useful, allowing her to pollute the air of Baltimore for the time being.

But in Will's eyes, Freddie Lowndes is tantamount to rubbing salt in the scars of other teenagers, this woman is really disgusting. Annoyed, he snatched the business card as well, and Freddy Lowndes had tried to give Abigail one.

Hannibal turned around and put his hand on his adopted son's shoulder, and reassured him in a gentle tone: "Good boy, it's all right now." ”

Jim raised his head to meet Hannibal's gaze, and his mouth was very dissatisfied, but he finally compromised, after all, Hannibal said, 'It's okay now'.

After Freddie Lowndes's interruption, it didn't seem to be any good, Abigail always couldn't help but wander his gaze to Jim when he talked to Will, and finally after Will and Hannibal took her outside, and at the end of the simple conversation, Abigail couldn't help but ask Jim, "Did you have the same experience as me?" ”

Jim seemed to be half a beat slow to realize that Abigail was talking to him, his eyes slowly fell on Abigail's face sitting on the hospital bed, his voice was a little erratic but everyone in the room heard him clearly: "My faith coerced me to do what I didn't want to do, and I couldn't resist until someone killed my faith." I never thank him, but I do feel relieved. ”

Jim paused, his voice became clear, and asked Abigail, "So, what do you think?" ”

When Jim was helping Abigail before, he smelled her without a trace, Abigail was in the second layer of Jim's food chain, or the middle of the first and second layers, that is to say, she assisted her father in killing the girls who were hunted by her father - in fact, before meeting Abigail, Gu Qing had obtained a lot of information about the "Shrike Bird" serial murder case in Minnesota, plus now that he saw Abigail with his own eyes, he did not intervene when Will talked to AbigailThe information obtained is enough to confirm this conclusion.

Abigail was an accomplice to this, Jack Crawford thought so, but he had no evidence; Will insists that he disagrees with this, and certainly cannot rule out that he feels guilty for shooting Abigail's father; Alana Bloom, a consultant analyst at the FBI and a psychiatrist for Abigail's mental problems, agrees with Will; And Hannibal was sure at the first glance of Abigail that there was now one more Jim.

So, Hannibal understood Jim's overtones, while Will was thinking about the assassination of Bishop Edward at the time, and only she knew what Abigail, who was suspected of having post-traumatic sequelae, thought.

Jim seemed to think that he was too unsaïne to say this, and blinked his eyes and added, "I'm sure everything will be fine, Abigail, God bless you." After pretending for a while, he turned around and said to Hannibal, who was "in his true form": "Are girls so uncute?" A hyena is annoying, and a little black widow bites~"

- The "Black Widow" spider often goes unnoticed when it bites, and the wound is like a pinhole, so even if it is bitten, you may not notice it, but in the end, the life of the severely poisoned person can even be in danger. Now, the only thing Abigail will bite is Will.

- Wait, is this laying the groundwork for the emergence of a female personality?
