Chapter 239

People like Hannibal basically cannot trust others.

But this Will... seems to be an exception?

"You need to help me better understand what I want to get from a friendship, and what I don't want."

"Someone is worthy of your friendship."

"Maybe."

"You spent a lot of time closing your heart, Hannibal, so you want to see if there is a smart person who can climb over that wall."

The woman continued to analyze.

And the point of view she raised also made Hannibal realize more thoughts in his heart.

Sometimes analyzing things really requires others to look at them.

The bystander sees more clearly.

And on the other side.

Will, with two police officers, also arrived at Tobias’s string supply store.

And just happened to run into Tobias saying goodbye to a student who came to learn music.

"I am Will, FBI Special Agent, are you the store manager?"

"Yes, my name is Tobias."

Tobias’s face carried just the right amount of confusion and bewilderment.

As if he had no idea of the purpose of Will and his group’s visit.

And all the viewers couldn't help but exclaim when they saw Tobias’s natural acting.

"I was just about to send a student out, excuse me for a moment."

"Okay."

Will nodded.

Walking around the store on his own.

And Tobias had no intention of running away at all.

Soon, he sent the student away and turned back to say,

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"We are investigating the Douglas murder case, he used to be..."

"That archer."

Tobias answered first.

Without hiding his thought that he already knew about this.

"Yes, do you know him?"

"I’ve heard of him."

Tobias nodded, spreading his hands elegantly.

"Baltimore is a small city, and the cultural and artistic circle is even smaller."

"We are here for this, Mr. Tobias."

"It is said that the killer cut his throat, trying to use it to play."

"Why say trying??"

"Strings need to be processed, after cutting a person open, playing directly on the internal organs cannot produce sound."

Tobias continued to explain.

Incredibly natural, without hiding his professionalism.

But in his words, he unconsciously pushed away his own suspicion.

He didn't know the body had been processed.

And his ignorance was expressed through Will’s sharpness!

2.0 Seeing this.

Will also sighed slightly, seemingly subconsciously excluding some of the suspicion on Tobias.

"The vocal cords were chemically treated, the same method as processing gut strings, we didn't announce these details."

"You are looking for someone who knows how to make gut strings, right?"

Tobias continued to perform.

Guessing the intention of Will and his group as an ignorant innocent bystander.

It can be said that the starting point of his acting was seamless!

Walking to a roll of strings in the store on his own, picking it up and handing it to Will.

"My goods are all the best gut strings imported from Italy, the string section of the Baltimore Metropolitan Orchestra refuses to use other strings to play."

"The sound is more orthodox."

"A fuller, deeper sound! Letting music express what words cannot."

And just during Tobias’s explanation.

Will’s face suddenly changed.

Seemingly hearing something.

"Did you hear that??"

"What??"

On the side, Tobias and the police officers were all bewildered.

Obviously.

Will’s auditory hallucinations had started to flare up again!

And because of this.

Will also walked out of the music supply store on his own.

Coming to the street with cars coming and going to find the source of the sound.

Leaving the two police officers in the store looking at each other.

Happy New Year to everyone in the new year!!! May everything go as you wish!!!

There was an error when uploading the previous chapters!! I will contact the editor to fix it after the New Year!! I have caused everyone trouble here!!! I am extremely sorry!!!!.

Regarding Hannibal’s frankness.

Will was also very surprised.

Beyond surprise, he was also somewhat moved.

After all, having known Hannibal for so long.

From Will’s perspective.

He considered himself to have some understanding of Hannibal.

Hannibal’s impression on him has always been that he is not the type of person who would casually violate his professional code.

Being willing to violate the privacy code of a psychiatrist to reveal information about a murderer to him.

Could be said to have surprised Will somewhat.

He also felt a bit more gratitude toward Hannibal in his heart.

Will didn't say much in the way of thanks on the surface.

He was inherently introverted and reserved in character.

He silently noted this favor from Hannibal in his heart, and then said,

"Regarding his friend, what did he say?"

"He opened a music supply store in Baltimore, specializing in string products."

Hannibal said after a moment of recollection.

And this clue further corroborated the truthfulness of what that patient said!

Music supply store!

And specializing in string products!

Everything matched up!

Suddenly.

Will nodded solemnly, indicating that he took this very seriously.

And the next day.

Before the police found Tobias.

Hannibal had already arrived at his psychiatrist’s home for a routine counseling session.

It was still that elegant and stylish middle-aged woman, who was making tea for Hannibal.

And Hannibal was talking about his own discoveries on his own.

"I saw the possibility of developing a friendship for the first time."

"Did you meet someone new?"

Hannibal’s statement immediately attracted the woman’s attention.

The expression on her face was full of surprise and astonishment.

02 As if hearing this sentence from Hannibal’s mouth was incredible!

And in an instant.

All the viewers also understood the reason for the woman’s expression!

This.... is Hannibal!

This is the Chesapeake Ripper! A serial killer who has committed dozens or even more brutal murders!

Saying the words "developing a friendship" from Hannibal’s mouth.

Is undoubtedly incredible!

Who.... would be worthy of Hannibal, a psychopath, wanting to develop a friendship with?!

And immediately!

All the viewers also thought of that murderer who was also a psychopath!

Tobias!

Coincidentally!

Last night.

Tobias had been a guest at Hannibal’s home!

And indicated that he knew Hannibal’s identity as a murderer.

And also expressed the desire to become friends with Hannibal!

It’s just that he was rejected by Hannibal at the time!

Could it be....

Hannibal only rejected him on the surface at the time?

In reality, he also wanted to have a friend who was also a psychopath?!

[Hannibal.... actually saw someone he could develop a friendship with??]

[This... it’s hard to imagine this coming from Uncle Hannibal’s mouth!!]

[Usually, you only see Hannibal wanting to eat someone... no one expected Uncle Hannibal would want to be friends with someone??]

[This must be another psychopath, right??]

[Ah... this isn't talking about Tobias, is it!!]

[It’s possible!]

[Tobias and Hannibal indeed have many similarities in some aspects!! And both have had the thought of killing each other!]

[But didn't Hannibal already reject Tobias yesterday??]

[Maybe he just rejected him on the surface??]

[Is this playing hard to get??]

[Hannibal might want to test the other party a bit more??]

[Exactly! It’s really possible!]

[Is this why Hannibal told the police Tobias’s information?? Is he trying to test if Tobias can handle the police??]

[Holy crap!! So that’s what it is!!]

[This test is a bit too difficult......]

In the live stream.

The viewers were guessing endlessly.

Although they couldn't reach a final conclusion for a moment.

But most viewers unanimously felt that this direction of speculation was not wrong!

It is very likely that Hannibal deliberately revealed Tobias’s information to the police!

Wanting to test whether the other party’s ability was enough to escape the police’s pursuit and investigation!

And if the other party passed the test!

Does that mean Hannibal might have a psychopathic murderer friend??

Suddenly.

All the viewers were incredibly curious about the subsequent plot development.

"I met a man who is very similar to me, with the same hobbies and the same worldview."

When Hannibal was talking, his expression also carried a trace of emotion.

As if he was also marveling that he would actually meet someone so similar to himself.

"But I have no interest in becoming friends with him, I am very curious about him, which makes me curious about friendship."

"Then whose friendship are you considering?"

The woman’s face also carried a trace of curiosity.

Obviously, she also really wanted to know.

Who exactly is the person who could make Hannibal have such thoughts.

And all the viewers were stunned at this moment.

Hannibal’s previous sentence clearly referred to Tobias.

Same hobbies, same worldview.

So both became psychopaths and murderers!

Looking at everyone else in the world like ants!

But....

Hannibal clearly stated that he did not want to become friends with Tobias!

The one who made him want to develop a friendship...

Is someone else?!

"Strange to say, he is a colleague and a patient. Just like I am both your colleague and your patient."

Hannibal’s next sentence instantly made all the viewers understand this person’s identity!

Both a colleague...

And a patient...

Then this candidate... perhaps there is only one!

Will!!

Besides being a psychiatrist!

Hannibal also helps the police solve these bizarre murder cases!

Will naturally counts as his colleague!

And at the same time.
