"The Shrike was offering sacrifices to his daughter."

"A wonderful speculation." Hannibal commented, looking at the remaining food on Ryan's plate, as if reminding him.

Ryan smiled and chewed slowly.

"You're not good at tasting meat," Hannibal said, his thin lips pursed.

Ryan chuckled and said, "Maybe it's because I was fed too much meat by my father since I was a child. I can now be called a vegetarian."

Hannibal turned his head slightly, and he noticed Ryan's words - "feed".

"You should try to enjoy it, not make it a task," he said.

"I know, so I enjoy everything in life that gives me interest." The foie gras on the plate has disappeared, and Ryan puts the knife and fork on the plate, making a sound, his fingers crossed on the table , Sincerely speaking.

Hannibal's house is exquisitely decorated, very retro, Italian in the Renaissance.

There was a piano in the living room. Ryan stood in front of the piano, tapped his fingers, and the piano made a pleasant sound, which echoed throughout the hall.

Looking at Hannibal who came out of the restaurant, Ryan said apologetically, "I'm sorry that I didn't bring you a gift in a hurry this time. If I have the honor to taste your craft next time, I will definitely I'll bring you a bottle of red wine—my father brewed it himself, and I think you'll like it."

Ryan didn't expect Hannibal to be involved in this case. When he saw Hannibal near the cordon, he silently turned his side to prevent the other party from finding him.

However, this trip to Minnesota brought him an interesting person, Will Graham, a person who can empathize with a psychopath, and he can restore the murderer's original psychological state at the crime scene.

Of course, this ability to perceive is like a double-edged sword, and this talent given to him by God is really tormenting.Will used to be a police officer involved in criminal investigations, but because of this ability, his personality was unstable, and some of his colleagues even worried that Will would be the next psychopath.

However, when Ryan saw Will, he didn't think so.Will is a resilient person, not a fragile teacup.Lane wants to know Will, that's what he's thinking about now.

This is Bloomington, Minnesota, and the home of the Minnesota Shrike.The family lives in a house far away from the urban area, surrounded by woods.

When Will and Hannibal came, they saw "Shrike" Jacob Hobbs pushing his wife out of the room. Mrs. Hobbs was cut on the neck with a knife, leaving a deep scar There were knife marks, blood flowed from her neck, and then slowly lost her vitality.

After Will entered the house with a gun, he met Hobbs and his daughter in the kitchen. Hobbs' knife was on the daughter's neck, and then in front of Will, he hurt his daughter.

Someone once asked Tolstoy, what would you do if you had a gun in your hand and someone held a girl in front of you and wanted to throw her down?

Obviously, when the question was put to Will, Will chose to shoot.

As if seeing it with his own eyes, Ryan deduced such a scene from the words of the people around him.

Will killed someone, which is a huge burden for him. Ryan has reason to believe that Will will not be able to get out of the curse named Hobbs for a long time to come.

"Lian." The deep and magnetic voice sounded, it was Hannibal.

Ryan raised his head and smiled at Hannibal, then looked at Hannibal's work card and said, "So you participated in this case, why? Profile the crime or profile the detective?"

Not offended by such a rude question, Hannibal noticed Ryan's avoidance of him just now, and said, "Why did you come here?"

"Because it's interesting." Ryan looked at the house in front of him, "That's why you came here, didn't you?"

Ryan said affirmatively: "That detective must have brought you a lot of interest."

"Will is indeed an interesting person." Hannibal said, "You can also try to get in touch with him. In my opinion, the two of you have very similar views on some things. You can get along very well. , Of course, he can also become the trustworthy person in your heart."

Ryan shook his head. There is a chance that he will meet Will, but this opportunity is not now. He doesn't want to talk to Will under Hannibal's nose.

Looking at Will coming out of the house, Will noticed Ryan and the others.

Ryan waved his hand slightly at Will as a greeting, then said goodbye and left.

"Who is he?" Will asked, this was the first time he took the initiative to ask a person, just now, when Ryan greeted him, Will felt a kind of familiarity, different from criminals and those psychopaths , but another kind of inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"My patient." Hannibal looked at Ryan's back and said, "Lian Quill."

"That was the key to my capture of Garrett Jacob Hobbs." Will taught at the FBI Academy, with a giant projection screen behind him. "He's dead, but the question is, how to stop now Those who were inspired by his story, he already had an admirer, a copycat."

On the screen is the girl who was put naked in the field.

Leaning against the entrance door, Ryan watched Will, listening to his lecture.

After the lights came on, Will noticed the man who had been there, surprised.But Ryan did not choose to talk to Will at this time, but left here instead.

The atmosphere of the FBI Academy is very good. After all, it is a group of young people who will participate in the fight against crime in the future.Will is not very sociable, and Ryan has just spotted a few students who want to ask him questions, but it is obvious that Will will not talk to them.A kind of heart defense.

Ryan noticed that Will was following him, so he stopped and turned to look at Will: "Hi, Will Graham, I'm Ryan Quill."

He stretched out his hand, Will was a little vigilant, he didn't look directly into Ryan's eyes, and then shook Ryan back.

"Who are you?" Will asked, Ryan walked forward slowly, Will joined him.

Ryan did not choose to answer his words, but said: "Will, your talent makes everyone look sideways. But at the same time, it is also a painful torture. The ability to empathize allows you to peek into the hearts of others. Of course, It's also a huge burden, have you ever tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep?"

"You were sent by Jack? Like Hannibal to profile me?" Will suddenly became sharp, like a puppy that growled because it was weak to show its strength.There was a little injury in Will's eyes, and Ryan couldn't help but feel a little distressed by the poor eyes.

"NO." Ryan denied Will's guess, "I'm just interested in you."

"Interested in me to see if I will become a psychopath, a serial murderer?" Will asked.

Ryan shook his head, looked at Will with gentle eyes, and said, "I don't think you will. Because Will, I believe in you, even if everything about you is destroyed, you will not become that kind of person."

"Who the hell are you? A psychologist?" Will's emotions were subtly soothed, but he still felt bad. Obviously, the person in front of him knew something about him, but he didn't care about this man. , nothing is known except the name.

"I once minored in psychology." Ryan decided to ask Will to trust him. As a matter of course, he needs to pass some information to Will, "I used to work in a private institution, but that institution is equivalent to a psychological institution. We By observing a person's micro-expression, we can judge whether that person is lying or not."

"Then you can judge my lies." Will pulled out an ugly smile, "All lies can't be hidden in front of you."

"It's just an instinct. I like to observe others instinctively." Ryan looked at Will and said gently, "But I won't treat you like this. You feel it too, right? Will, a sense of familiarity."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Will pursed his lips, but he didn't answer.

"Hannibal is a good psychologist and a good cook." Inexplicably, Ryan changed the topic to this, "I think, Will, you can try to trust Hannibal."

"Because you are his patient." Will frowned slightly, and he said, "Do you trust him?"

"Of course." Ryan said without hesitation, he laughed, with an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, "he is my psychiatrist, he knows everything about me. When I have troubles, he can always provide some advice, is a A good trustee."

Will looked down at the ground, not sure.

"Will, you don't have to feel guilty for killing Jacob Hobbs, isn't this where he belongs?" Ryan said, but he still felt sorry for one thing, because Hobbs' daughter didn't The transformation is completed, and the last lesson is completed by others.

It wouldn't be so bad if that was Will, though.

Still, Lane was looking forward to Hobbs' daughter, so he said: "You feel very guilty, so you always stay in that girl's ward, don't you? Try your best to atone for your sins, and even want to be her adoptive father." .”

"No." Will wanted to deny it, but such behavior would only make Ryan more certain that he looked forward to Will's future.

"However, I saw an interesting thing on a website." Saying this, Ryan took out his mobile phone and fiddled with something in his hand, and then placed it in front of Will's eyes, "Ms. Freddie Lautz's website."

Above is a picture of Hobbs' cabin, which is full of antlers, ferocious and sinful.

The author has something to say:

Finally wrote Will out [tears streaming down my face]
