Chapter 229

And as someone whose true identity was the Chesapeake Ripper.

Naturally, he looked down on a novice like Tobias who was full of trouble.

"I need a friend, someone who can understand me."

Facing Hannibal's indifference, Tobias seemed a bit anxious.

He hurriedly explained his true purpose.

"Someone who thinks the same way I do, someone with the same understanding of this world and humanity."

[Ah this.... it wouldn't really be what I think, would it?!]

[These people.... are probably all Hannibal's ingredients!!]

[Holy crap.... this is too terrifying!!]

[And randomly selected from a business card holder... too scary...]

[..................]

[How miserable.. to be put into this business card holder by Hannibal!]

[It's like picking ingredients needed for cooking from a refrigerator.... without the slightest pity....]

[Maybe in Hannibal's eyes, these people are just walking ingredients...]

[This is too cruel...]

[Cold... cruel.... this is Hannibal!!]

[I originally thought the Ripper was just a serial killer... I didn't expect him to be a cannibal....]

[But looking at the way Hannibal cooks... I actually kind of want to eat it..]

[The internet is not a lawless place!! Watch what you say upstairs!!]

[Don't... actually I don't like meat! I'm a vegetarian!]

On screen, the plot continued to advance.

As Hannibal prepared the ingredients.

The refrigerator was gradually filled with bags of different packed ingredients.

Under the background music of an incredibly elegant musical.

Hannibal's actions seemed to be added with a touch of elegance!

As if he were truly carefully preparing a grand banquet!

And Hannibal.

Was the most solemn chef!

Elegant, serious, meticulous.

But.....

All the viewers knew....

What was hidden beneath this elegance.

Was the passing of one fresh life after another! People of different identities becoming ingredients in Hannibal's mouth!

Thinking of this.

Countless viewers felt their backs go cold while marveling!

And naturally.

The police also discovered these corpses, all killed by the same method and missing organs.

In the morgue.

303

A row of four corpses was laid out side by side.

The faces of the investigation team members were extremely ugly.

It was clear that the difficulty of the case had skyrocketed!

The Ripper was killing people like a madman...

Making them all feel immense pressure!

"They all lost different organs."

"Before, we focused our attention on people waiting for heart or kidney transplants, trying to catch an organ trafficking ring."

"Now, we are facing multiple hearts, kidneys, livers, stomachs, pancreases, lungs...."

"This guy, he lost a spleen."

The complaining male team member pointed to one of the corpses.

"A spleen?! Who would need a spleen transplant??"

The team member's face was full of skepticism and exaggeration.

It was clearly dissatisfaction with Will.

Dissatisfaction with the theory Will had previously proposed.

Making the investigation team and the police put too much energy into the organ trafficking ring!

And now it seemed!

It was obvious.

These corpses were not organ trafficking victims at all!

The spleen was simply an organ with no transplant value!

Naturally, there was no such thing as trafficking!

Proving Will's judgment was wrong!

They had wasted too much energy in the wrong direction!

This was the most fatal problem!

And following the team member's exaggerated expression.

"Who would need a spleen transplant?!"

The scene shifted.

As if to show the function of the spleen.

In the scene.

Hannibal put a whole fresh spleen into a blender.

With the press of the start button.

The spleen was quickly blended into a paste in the blender!

[Holy crap.... this scene....]

[Who could have guessed that the Ripper took the victim's spleen to eat it!]

[The police probably won't be able to figure it out even if they investigate for a lifetime....]

[Yeah......]

[Spleen sauce....]

[But it's true that no one would traffic a spleen!]

[Although this organ is important, even without a spleen, it won't affect survival!]

[Right, I had my spleen removed when I was a kid because I was playful; besides having lower immunity, there's no big impact!]

[This organ is actually about the same as the appendix, right?? It's about to be evolved away!]

[Well, the spleen is still much more important!]

Following the audience's banter.

In the morgue.

Will, who had been clearly blamed and complained about, did not show any displeasure.

He pointed to one of the corpses and asked.

"The only thing missing from this corpse is the intestine, right?"

"Yes, so the person we are looking for has short bowel syndrome."

The male team member replied to Will, his face carrying a hint of mockery and banter.

"Or the Ripper is making his own sausages."

A very obvious joke.

Mocking Will and the Ripper.

But the next second.

In the scene.

Hannibal operated the sausage-making machine in the kitchen, slowly pressing fresh meat filling into the casing....

？？？？

In an instant.

All the viewers couldn't help but laugh.

Holy crap....

The Ripper was actually making his own sausages!

[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!!]

[The brother is a god of prophecy!!]

[Drag the prophet out and stab him!!]

[The Ripper is indeed making his own sausages, hahahahaha!]

[But the police would never dream of this!!]

[This... who could have guessed that a criminal would kill someone specifically to take their intestines just to stuff sausages??]

[But even if it's processed cleanly.... wouldn't there be a psychological burden when eating it??]

[In Hannibal's eyes, these aren't human intestines at all, or rather, these are livestock, not people.]

[Hannibal really can do everything....]

[I wonder if the police will be able to solve the case in the end; what will their expressions be when they see Hannibal really making his own sausages!]

Just as the audience said.

The people in the morgue.

Even if they racked their brains, they would never have guessed.

The Ripper was really using human intestines to make his own sausages!

And the progress of the case naturally fell into a stalemate.

That night.

Will had an appointment for psychological counseling with Hannibal but didn't arrive on time.

Hannibal came to Will's office.

And Will was in a half-dreaming, half-waking state again.

Like sleepwalking.

Sitting blankly at his desk.

After Hannibal woke him up, he teased.

"Appointments can be canceled for free within 24 hours."

"What time is it?"

"Almost 9 o'clock."

"I'm so sorry...."

Will rubbed his head, his expression very distressed.

It had been an hour and a half since his scheduled psychological counseling.

And he hadn't realized it yet.

Still trapped in his dream, unable to extricate himself.

This meant his condition was getting worse and worse....

"I must have fallen asleep... did I sleepwalk?"

"Your eyes were open."

"God... this feels just like being asleep..."

Will rubbed his face, trying to make himself more awake.

"I have to quit sleeping; this is the best way to avoid nightmares."

"I know why you have nightmares."

Hannibal looked at the crime scene photos all over the desk.

On every photo.

There was the tragic state of the victims.

Looking at this pile of photos every day.

I'm afraid it's hard not to have nightmares.

"What do you see, Doctor."

Will saw Hannibal looking seriously at the evidence on the table and asked.

Hannibal's opinions and suggestions could, to some extent, give him a lot of inspiration.

At this moment.

Will's trust in Hannibal was already very high.

Even if it hadn't reached the point of blind obedience.

But the viewpoints Hannibal put forward.

Were also subtly deepening into Will's mind and subconscious!

Like the organ trafficking ring theory Hannibal proposed.

Directly influenced Will's investigation direction!

Including the changes in his relationship with Jack.

All had the shadow of Hannibal's words!

And Hannibal, who had worked as a surgeon himself.

Was not too disgusted or afraid of these photos to begin with.

Coupled with his identity as a psychologist.

The judgment he gave on the crime scene would be a great help!

Will firmly believed that Hannibal could see details that many others couldn't!

"Summarizing the Ripper into so many words, carefully worded."

"Words have life, words have personality, have viewpoints, have goals."

"In many cultures, displaying the enemy's corpse has special significance."

Hannibal looked at the photos and said in a deep voice.

But Will said.

"The Ripper didn't treat them as enemies, but slapped them to death like flies."

"That is the retribution for their cruelty."
