Chapter 209

As he speaks.

The expression on Will’s face becomes increasingly heavy.

He seems to be increasingly shaken by Su Chen’s words.

The look on his face becomes a bit more exhausted.

It is clear.

Su Chen’s words have once again shaken Will’s convictions.

Whether to continue serving as a criminal consultant for the police under immense psychological pressure and a constantly negative mental state.

Or, as Su Chen said, make the right choice.

For the sake of his own mental state, and to stop torturing himself.

But as the scene shifts.

To everyone’s surprise.

There is no difficult investigation process!

That angel-maker.

Finally unable to bear the torture.

Chooses to turn himself into an angel and ends his own life in a barn.

This also shocks all the viewers!

The moment Will arrives at the scene.

He identifies the identity of this corpse!

"This should be the last one."

Jack asks from the side:

"Is it the maker?"

"He turned himself into an angel."

Will looks up at the high-hanging, bloody, mangled corpse.

"Not God, not anyone else, he wanted to die himself."

"His own choice?"

"This is the only decision he could make."

During the conversation.

Will’s expression is also somewhat touched.

As if remembering Hannibal’s words.

The angel-maker made his choice....

What about him....

Should he continue to painfully persist on this path, or find complete liberation?

"I don't know how much longer I can help you, Jack."

Struggling.

Will says it out loud.

And Jack replies without hesitation:

"You’ve already caught three people; the last three, all caught by you."

"But I didn't catch this one; the angel-maker just surrendered himself."

"I’ve gotten used to my wife not talking to me; I can also get used to you not talking to me."

"It’s becoming harder and harder for me to see clearly."

Will speaks with some pain.

But Jack’s emotions are clearly rising too:

"No one asked you to shoulder all this alone!"

"But I am alone! You know what these things mean! I can see, but my own thinking is disappearing!"

"What’s wrong with this case?"

"It’s not this one! It’s all the cases! Or the next one! I can't imagine what situation I’ll encounter next!"

Finally, Will shouts in a low voice.

Assisting the police in solving cases has seriously affected his life!

"These things are harmful to me!"

"Go back to teaching! When a case happens and you don't stop it, your lectures will become boring too!"

Jack is silent for a few seconds, drops a sentence, and leaves the barn.

Leaving Will standing there, thinking about whether to stay or go.

And all the viewers, seeing Will so shaken at this moment.

Are even more amazed that Hannibal’s subtle indoctrination has been so successful!

At this moment.

It can be said that Will’s intention to give up is very obvious!

Under Hannibal’s instigation.

Will has a sense of wanting to have a complete showdown with Jack!

【It feels like they are really going to break up??】

【This Jack is really something; it’s obvious Will doesn't want to continue this job anymore!】

【Is this moral kidnapping....】

【Too realistic..】

【Actually, everyone knows what a huge psychological pressure it is for Will to continue solving cases,】

【In fact, Hannibal wasn't wrong either!】

【Indeed... for Will, perhaps giving up is the right choice!】

【But having a psychiatrist constantly influencing his thoughts subtly... it’s truly terrifying!】

Afterward.

With the occurrence of a new case.

All the viewers also know Will’s choice.

At least for now.

He hasn't given up on striving in this profession.

In front of a mental hospital.

Will and Jack get out of the car.

Jack explains:

"There are unconfirmed rumors that the Chesapeake Ripper has been arrested."

"Unconfirmed? Do you want me to confirm it?"

"Yes."

Receiving an affirmative reply, Will can't help but look up at the mental hospital building, feeling a chill in his heart:

"I always get nervous coming to places like this."

"Why?"

"Afraid they won't let me out."

Following their conversation.

The scene also moves inside the mental hospital.

And Will’s words clearly point to himself.

His long-standing psychological problems have been troubling him.

It could even be said.

They make him feel like he is a mental patient himself.

To the point that he becomes highly nervous just coming to a mental hospital.

But the Chesapeake Ripper mentioned by Jack also attracts the attention of countless viewers.

This name is not appearing for the first time in previous cases!

This Ripper...

is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous serial killer that the FBI values immensely!!

Danger level maxed out! Cruelty level maxed out!

Of course, his anti-investigation capabilities are also maxed out!

He has always been a key target for the FBI!

And Will and Jack’s arrival.

Is to confirm whether this Ripper is truly detained in the mental hospital.

The director of the mental hospital leads the way while explaining the situation:

"At the time, Gideon was handcuffed; he hid the tines of a fork in his palm and used it to pick the lock."

"Now he has been controlled in his cell."

"The victim’s organs were removed, disemboweled; these are all consistent with the Chesapeake Ripper’s modus operandi!"

In the director’s words.

He is even somewhat certain that the controlled mental patient, Gideon, is the legendary Ripper!

And after stepping into the crime scene.

The bloody and cruel modus operandi.

Also makes all the viewers hold their breath!

This scene, which is said to be consistent with the Ripper’s modus operandi.... is indeed very shocking!

No wonder he is a killer the FBI values so much!

Such a killing method.

Is simply too heinous! Too cruel!

And after seeing the scene.

Will immediately enters his own world!

Using his empathy ability.

He simulates the killer’s process of committing the crime step by step!

After coming back to his senses.

His state is visibly much worse! His emotions fluctuate greatly!

"As far as we know, the Ripper hasn't committed a crime in over two years, right?"

"That’s correct."

"When was Gideon admitted?"

"About two years ago."

In the question and answer.

The suspicion surrounding this mental patient, Gideon, suddenly increases.

The information matches.

The interval between crimes matches.

The modus operandi also matches!

But soon.

When Will meets this mental patient suspected of being the Ripper.

Doubts begin to pop up one after another.

Will stares directly at the somewhat vulgar middle-aged man in the cell.

Although he has the fierce look of a murderer.

He seems to be a far cry from the Ripper image all the viewers imagined—a high-IQ, anti-investigation-conscious killer!

In order not to waste time.

Will gets straight to the point:

"Are you really the Chesapeake Ripper?"

"I don't like being called the Chesapeake Ripper at all; it would be better to have a title that sounds cool!"

"So before this, you never admitted to committing those Ripper murders?"

"I just wanted to watch you guys work in vain for two whole years."

The middle-aged man laughs with some sarcasm.

But Will refutes him immediately.

"To be able to wait for us to investigate for two years, you must be very patient."

His words point directly to the man’s restless behavior in the cell.

It is clear.

This suspect does not seem like the patient type.
