207. Psychologist (9)
Natasha's appearance was accompanied by the reappearance of "Cupid", who hunted three people at once, and Jack Crawford, who got the news early in the morning, had an ugly face, called Will, and rushed to the scene of the incident with his subordinates from the behavioral science team.
Will was on the verge of spiraling out of control by this time.
Here I have to say that those patients who enter Hannibal's psychological clinic, there are usually two situations, one is that the spirit is improving, usually the condition of this patient is very ordinary, and the other is that he thinks that the situation is improving, in fact it just seems to be improving, and then he planted a seed in his heart, and he may not know when the seed will sprout.
Will's situation is a bit more complicated, but it is clear that he is currently being relegated to the second situation, and what he thought was getting better was deceived by Hannibal, who himself was unaware of the severity of the situation.
And Jack Crawford was already unable to extricate himself from the Chesapeake Ripper, so he pushed Will again and again, and now he may have to add 'Cupid' - it turns out that none of the victims in Cupid's crimes are innocent, just like Mr. Torres, who was previously considered innocent by the FBI, and they investigated deeply under Will's reminder and found that Mr. Torres was responsible for at least eight murders. Cupid's actions are simply the most powerful mockery of the local police department, the FBI, and the judiciary, and no judicial authority will like it - Jack Crawford strongly hopes that there will be a breakthrough now, which is why he couldn't hold back his excitement when he heard that this case was very similar to an accident, and he would not be so cautious under the accident, there must be some clues!
At the scene of the crime, Will enters into his unique mental connection.
In his mind space, he saw a swarthy stag.
Will closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, the buck that had been bothering him was still there. Will couldn't tell for a moment whether the buck was his hallucination or if it was related to the real crime scene.
"Help—" A small, weak voice suddenly came into Will's ears, it was so weak, Will almost didn't hear it, what the hell was going on?
Will returns to reality, and Jack Crawford looks at him expectantly.
Will pursed his chapped lips: "It's him, it's an emergency, he has to fight back." After killing the three victims, he didn't immediately walk away, he waited. ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"When he has a way to brand all three of the victims," Will looked at the three victims whose hearts had been pulled out again, "because it was an emergency, he couldn't have brought his tools, but he had to deal with his prey as usual, so he contacted someone, and this person sent his tools." ”
"You mean the last time you showed up and you couldn't communicate?"
"No," Will paused before speaking slowly, "I think the person who came here is his teacher." Like hunting, I mean real hunting, hunters learn their crafts from others, generally the father teaches the son, and the son then teaches the grandson. We didn't think that he also had a teacher before, because 'Cupid' was skilled in modus operandi, and it was not the first time to kill before finding his favorite modus operandi, so we had preconceived notions that he was not young, at least middle-aged, and had a stable temperament, but now it seems that we should probably lower his age range appropriately. ”
But no matter how appropriately they lower the age range of 'Cupid', the age bottom line is still far from the age level of teenagers. Just as they didn't think that 'Cupid' might be a teenager, they didn't expect that before the Chesapeake Ripper and Cupid were caught, Will would instead become the prime suspect in a series of murders and be imprisoned in the Baltimore State Criminal Psychiatric Hospital.
However, on the bright side, Will's mental condition has improved after being imprisoned in a mental hospital, and it has to be said that this is because he is far away from Hannibal, and he gradually remembers the fragments of memory in the past, and the fog before the answer to the question of who is the Chesapeake Ripper is gradually lifted, and at the same time, it seems that the answer to the question of who Cupid is is is also on the way.
At this time, Gu Qing had already entered the university, the biomedical engineering department of Johns Hopkins University, and he had to wait for him to graduate from Johns Hopkins University's medical school before applying. Although he went to college, he was always on the lookout for the biomedical engineering department he attended, which is part of the Whiting School of Engineering, on the Homewood campus, just north of Baltimore, in the #NearWaterTerrace#. Gu Qing also liked the Charles District, where the Homewood campus was located, which combined the charm of a small town and the vitality of a big city, but when Gu Qing learned that the judge in charge of Will's case had been killed, and at the same time, there was a case outside that matched the modus operandi of the Chesapeake Ripper, Gu Qing sighed regretfully, it seemed that he would not stay at the Homewood campus or even in Baltimore for long.
Gu Qing was sorry to leave, but for Will, it undoubtedly indirectly proved that he was not a Chesapeake ripper, and besides, the judges were all dead, and they couldn't bear to look at the deaths...... In short, this led to Will, who was admitted to the Baltimore State Criminal Psychiatric Hospital, and was eventually acquitted.
Will sees Hannibal again on the third day after his acquittal, when their friendship boat has capsized, and Hannibal's adopted son, Angel, who just passes by, but Angel whispers the word "help" when he looks back at Will.
"Help me—"
"Help me—"
"Help me—"
Will once heard 'help' at the three crime scenes where Cupid committed crimes, and Will was puzzled at the time, thinking that it might be the victim's residual thoughts, or that Cupid was unwilling to do so deep down. Now looking at Angel, and thinking about his history of mental illness, Will trembled uncontrollably, that 'help' is not calling for help, he is asking for help, Angel is asking for help, he is Cupid's "deep heart", no, strictly speaking he is Cupid's master personality, he is aware of what Cupid is doing!
At this time, the profiles about Cupid all came to Will's mind, high-functioning anti-social, he was not killing people but hunting, ordinary people were prey in his eyes, he had received medical training, and it was not the first time he killed before becoming Cupid, Bishop Edward!
The bucks who appeared at the scene of the crime, the Chesapeake Ripper!
Will approached Jack Crawford almost madly, "Jack, I need all of Cupid's case files, and Angel's!" Angel Lecter's, before he became Dr. Lecter's adopted son, also give me the information, right away! ”
Jack Crawford steadied Will: "Will, I can give it to you, but you have to explain what you're going to do?" ”
"I'm almost certain now," Will said in denial, and he changed his words, "no, it's my suspicion that Angel's second personality is Cupid." ”
"What?!" Jack Crawford was stunned, and while it wasn't as incredible as Will had when he first hinted that Hannibal Lecter was the Chesapeake ripper, it had a pretty big impact. Regardless of what Will said, Angel Lecter is only eighteen years old this year, or his second personality.
Will didn't have time to explain, and he started to prove his speculation once he got all the information. After the Bishop Edward case was over, the report of the psychiatrist assigned to Angel by the local prosecutor was found, which stated that Angel was in a stable mental state and had a sound personality. In either case, it is not easy to prove the existence of a second person, and Will looks at the report and throws it aside, he draws a timeline of Angel's experience from acquittal to the present, and fills in the events.
I have to say that Will jumped out of the state of #Authorities fan#, and now has entered the state of #Bystander Qing#, so in the context of the overall situation, there are traces of changes in Angel's "mental journey", and the most obvious place is Angel's abrupt school transfer incident.
After such an investigation, Will ended up presenting a bunch of ...... to Jack Crawford Garbished, in Jack Crawford's opinion, he rubbed his eyebrows: "Will, explain." ”
"Angel he's not a dual personality, he's a multiple personality now, and as far as I can speculate, he's now a quadruple personality. Angel is one, Cupid is one, here," Will circled the time point before Angel changed boarding school and met Li from Chinese America, "I went to investigate, during this period, Angel's teachers and classmates generally thought that Angel was like a different person, before this Angel was inferior and sensitive, but during this time he was gentle and polite, and his interpersonal relationship was perfect, and after he changed schools, he became inferior and sensitive again, and he made a new friend. I think he's got a new personality here, and the trigger point is too much pressure. And here," Will drew back, "he went from being inferior and sensitive to a playboy, and his teachers and classmates thought he had changed his personality because his girlfriend had abandoned him—"
"Do you think this was the trigger for him to develop yet another new personality?"
"That's right."
"Even if your speculation is correct, Will, do you have any evidence that his second personality is Cupid?"
"One thing I noticed here," Will nodded near "Transfer" on the timeline, "that school had a dormitory fire three days ago, and four students were burned to death, and the local police department thought it was someone who set it on purpose, but they couldn't find the killer, but just two days after Angel transferred to another school, there was another fire, and one student was burned to death in the elevator, and there has been no fire since." ”
Jack Crawford looked subtle: "You don't mean to say that the victim in the latter fire was the real culprit in the previous fire, and he was burned to death by Cupid?" ”
"Jack, think about it, this Cupid has never killed innocent people, the people he killed, including the protagonist Edward, are not innocent, and most of those victims are still serial killers-" Will was interrupted unhappily by Jack Crawford before he could finish his words: "Will, we don't do the vigilante police, in my opinion, he is a serial killer with extreme contempt for law and authority!" ”
"No, Jack, you're wrong, I mean why is he so precise in finding his victims, with his **, the hunters who are on the second level of his food chain? Even the most powerful hunter can't hit every shot, do you think it's possible for him to have a unique mind like me, and be talented? Or is he really smart enough for him to do that? ”
Will's words made Jack Crawford fall into thought, thinking carefully that what he said was not unreasonable, even if Jack Crawford was stubborn, he would not deny Will's ability, and even if he hated Cupid's contempt for authority and contempt for the FBI, he could not find the words to refute the possibility raised by Will.
Jack Crawford was able to climb all the way to the position of the most respected head of the behavioral science team in the FBI, and then there was Will, who was selfish and very political, he looked at Will in deep thought, and said slowly: "You want him to make a deal with the FBI?" Let him work for the FBI, solve cases for the FBI, and we will selectively ignore the cases he has done before? ”
This kind of thing is not unprecedented.
"What's more, he can help us catch the Chesapeake Ripper." Will nodded and said, the current Will is no longer the fragile little teacup he started with, after so many things, he has not grown anymore, and he is really sorry for the effort that Hannibal wasted for him.
- Wait, did the two of them forget something? The fact that Angel's second personality is Cupid is really just an inference, and they don't have the slightest evidence.
However, it seems that God is on their side, and just as Will and Jack Crawford finally remember to search for evidence like #SeeSoT #, news comes from the hospital that Freddie Lowndes is awake.
Speaking of why Ms. Lowndes ended up in the hospital, this matter is really a long story, Freddy Lowndes's crime disclosure network is very popular, attracting not only ordinary netizens, but also psychopaths, and her previous articles on the crime disclosure network almost let a serial murderer escape, and because of the improper source of her information, a police officer was suspended and killed by a serial murderer who found Ms. Lowndes - that is not the first time that Ms. Lowndes has been suspended from providing her information - that is not the first time that Ms. Lowndes has been suspended from providing her information - Ms. Lowndes was let go by her serial killer who found her, but she can't always be so lucky, can she?
It's enough to blame Ms. Lowndes too... Naughty, she speaks too freely, and makes a lot of nonsense on her crime disclosure network, angering the serial murderer she targeted, and finally being caught by the serial murderer for her rude remarks to punish her.
In the end, although Ms. Lowndes escaped death, her life was also hanging by a thread, and in the end, she was transferred to a general ward after not being in danger, and she was in a coma for nearly a month, and now she finally woke up.
When she awoke, she asked to see Jack Crawford, and when she did, she told Jack Crawford that she had made all the remarks she had given her, and that he had heard his adoptive father, Hannibal and Will, discuss it.
Jack Crawford is not so easy to fool: "How can you cross paths? ”
Will scoffed, "It's clear that Ms. Lowndes threatened Angel with his past, and I think it's time for Ms. Lowndes to reflect on herself." ”
Leaving the door of the ward, Jack Crawford lowered his voice and said, "According to what you said, it is very likely that it is not Angel himself who provided false news to Freddy Lowndes, but his other personality." But we can use this to summon Angel—"
"Do you think Dr. Lector would not know about him, Jack?" Will tugged at the corners of his mouth, not mocking Hannibal for being evil, but mocking himself for not seeing Hannibal's true face until now.
"Then ask him out in a private name." Jack Crawford considered it, and Will agreed.
As everyone knows, Hannibal was next to him when Will called Angel, but Will didn't know it, and Will didn't say anything about Freddie Lowndes, just to come out and meet him.
Angel happily agreed.
There is also a misunderstanding here, for Will, Will still thinks that the current Angel is Angel and is the main personality.
However, there is nothing wrong with a certain Cheng dù, because Angel is not a personality now, he is Gu Qing now.
Gu Qing hung up the phone and said to Hannibal, who was sitting opposite him, "I thought that after following you for so long, Will has made great progress in lying." It seems that Freddie Lowndes has woken up, and Will has finally deduced that Cupid is Jim, which is good. He spoke to Hannibal like a friend, oh, a friend in the ordinary sense of the word.
"I have the privilege of knowing why you don't keep pretending? I don't deny that I'm starting to doubt you, but it's not that your personality is all disguised, but that the real bloodthirsty person is actually Sain. Hannibal was also very open and honest.
"I know," Gu Qing wasn't surprised at all, "Let me think about it, you start to suspect that I'm Jim's three prey on the day Natasha appeared, and they are the culprits of the two murders, so the accident is questionable, isn't it?" ”
Hannibal acquiesced.
Gu Qing tilted his head slightly and said, "#世界那么大, I want to go and see #." ”
Hannibal was stunned for a moment before he reacted, he was answering the question he had just asked, Hannibal really didn't know what to say for a while, he paused again before commenting: "Very sentimental reasons." ”
"I think so too," Gu Qing nodded matter-of-factly, but he felt as if he needed to say something more, and his bright blue eyes returned to Hannibal again, "Also, I have foreseen the final ending of the story with you and Will as the protagonists," #预言术#再度上线了, "You lose, of course, such an ending has the aura bonus of "At the end of the story, it is always the victory of good over evil", but as far as you are concerned, you will lose because no matter how much you put yourself above mortals, you will still be lonely." And for me, if there is a day when I lose, I think it's because I'm bored. ”
Gu Qing lowered his eyes after speaking, it seemed a bit self-deceiving to say this, Gu Qing knew very well that he would toss so many personalities from his own temperament, instead of simulating them in the palace of thought, in the final analysis, it was because he felt lonely.
After a long silence, Hannibal asked, "Is that it?" ”
No matter what point he was asking, Gu Qing didn't plan to continue on this topic, his expression became excited: "Maybe we can think about my curtain call together, for the sake of our father and son." Or maybe you're actually waiting for me to call you daddy? Or maybe—" he lengthened, "you want me to jump up from the couch and say 'Bazinga!' Teasing you! ’? ”
Hannibal: "......"
……
Will didn't wait for Angel to come to the appointment, but waited for Angel to make a phone call, and he just said two words: "Heknows."
After Gu Qing finished the phone call with Angel's character, he smiled innocently at Hannibal, who was looking directly at his acting skills on the side, and teased: "I thought of another reason to take a curtain call, that is, while you are still rich, I can still get a lot of alimony from you, or call it running expenses, what do you think?" How many points do you give out of 10? ”
Hannibal: "......"
Anyway, at the time of the final parting, Gu Qing said to Hannibal sincerely: "What I want to say is that you can eat less human flesh if you can, you know that eating it may cause Kuru disease, right?" It's like a cow can get mad cow disease if it eats forage containing cow bones. Of course, this is just my heartfelt advice, as long as you are happy. ”
Hannibal: "......"
――What is this, because we are parting, do we have to make up for the choking number that did not have #Choke the undead do not pay for their lives# at one time?
On the other hand, Jack Crawford decided to hunt down Angel Lecter, and after Angel was not found at Hannibal's home and Johns Hopkins University, the FBI issued a nationwide wanted warrant, as for what reason is used on the wanted warrant, a #Fear of Crime Absconding# is enough, isn't it?
Train stations, airports, highways, etc. are all arranged, and of course nothing is found.
On a plane from Washington to London, the blonde flight attendant Carrie returned to the rest room, and the other flight attendants teased her: "Our beautiful Carrie is now both male and female, and they are still white and rich, so it's okay to make friends, right?" ”
Carrie said don't be stupid, but her face turned red, in this world of faces, even if people are of the same sex and their own sexual orientation is normal, but being chased by such a high-quality same-sex person, the satisfaction of vanity is no less than that of high-quality pursuit of the opposite sex.
In the first class, a young lady with long brown hair, brown glasses, and a neutral dress, the overall combination made her look very spontaneous and powerful, and after performing all the guests in the first class, she put her eyes on the original paper on her lap, and the English literature department of Cambridge University may be a good subject.
-- Of course, when I put my application to Cambridge University, I wrote a male in the gender field.
-- As for what kind of twists and turns Baltimore will deduce, it depends on how one of the main characters in the story will play on the improvised - in the case of his serial killer codenamed "Cupid" "escaped" - and how the supporting characters cooperated, and Ms. Lowndes, who woke up from a coma, was also given a lot of important responsibilities. But he couldn't see it with his own eyes, and he really ...... I don't feel sorry at all, he has always been like this# to brush off his clothes, and hide his merit and fame # here.
- And finally, he found an effective way to save himself, and that is to put on other characters, just like now, he is wearing Natasha's character, which really works... This.
