Chapter 241

And if the other party passed the test!

Wouldn't that mean Hannibal might have a friend who is also a psychopathic murderer??

Suddenly.

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

"I met a man who is very much like me, with the same interests and the same worldview."

As Hannibal spoke, his expression carried a hint of reflection.

It was as if he were also marveling that he had actually encountered someone so similar to himself.

"But I have no interest in becoming friends with him. I am curious about him, and this has made me curious about friendship."

"Then whose friendship are you considering?"

The woman's face also carried a hint of curiosity.

Clearly, she also wanted to know.

Who exactly could make Hannibal have such thoughts.

And all the viewers were stunned at this moment.

Hannibal's previous sentence clearly referred to Tobias.

He has the same interests and the same worldview as him.

That is why both of them became psychopaths and murderers!

Looking at everyone else in the world as if they were ants!

But...

Hannibal had clearly stated that he did not want to become Tobias's friend!

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

Is someone else?!

"It's strange to say, he is a colleague and a patient. Just as 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.

Will is also receiving psychological counseling from Hannibal!

Naturally, he also counts as Hannibal's patient!

And this conclusion naturally caused countless viewers to be astonished!

The previous speculation... I didn't expect it to be overturned so quickly!!

Hannibal had no intention of becoming friends with Tobias!

His refusal at the time and the state he was showing now.

Clearly expressed this point!

Although Tobias is similar to Hannibal in some respects.

It only aroused Hannibal's curiosity!

It made Hannibal curious about developing a friendship!

But the one who made Hannibal see the possibility of developing a friendship!

Was Will!!

[Holy crap!! It's actually... Will?!]

[Although Tobias is very similar to Hannibal, Hannibal actually had no interest in him??]

[He was just a tool that aroused Hannibal's curiosity...]

[Then... why is it Will??]

[No wonder Hannibal has been intentionally or unintentionally helping Will and guiding Will from the beginning!]

[Or rather, even Hannibal himself didn't realize this at first!]

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

[Could it be that certain traits in Will also aroused Hannibal's concern and attention??]

[Will... is very smart??]

[But Hannibal is also very smart!]

[It's indeed hard to say, I feel like this kind of thing is very mysterious!]

And with the viewers' exclamations.

On the screen.

Hannibal continued to say.

"We've talked about him before."

"Will Graham?"

"He is completely different from me. We have different perceptions of things, but he can infer my point of view."

"Using the technique of profiling psychopathic criminals?"

"He is quite adept at it, which can make people feel very at ease."

"It's a good thing that someone understands us, Hannibal, or rather, has the ability to understand us, and that also requires trust. It's hard for you to trust others."

The woman looked into Hannibal's eyes and said.

Her words hit the nail on the head.

She knows Hannibal very well.

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 out of a friendship, and what I don't want."

"Someone is worth your friendship."

"Perhaps."

"You've spent a lot of time closing off your heart, Hannibal, so you want to see if there's 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 own heart.

Sometimes, when analyzing things, one really needs an outsider's perspective.

The bystander sees more than the player.

And on the other side.

Will, accompanied by two police officers, also arrived at Tobias's string instrument shop.

They happened to run into Tobias saying goodbye to a student who had come to the shop to learn music.

"I'm Will, a special agent with the FBI. Are you the shop manager?"

"Yes, my name is Tobias."

Tobias wore an expression of perfectly measured confusion and bewilderment.

As if he had no idea of the purpose of Will and his party's visit.

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

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

"Okay."

Will nodded.

He wandered around the shop on his own.

And Tobias had no intention of running away at all.

He soon sent the student away and turned back, saying.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

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

"The archer."

Tobias answered first.

Without any intention of hiding the fact that he already knew about this.

"Yes, did you know him?"

"I've heard of him."

Tobias nodded and spread his hands elegantly.

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

"That is exactly why we are here, Mr. Tobias."

"It is said that the murderer cut his throat and tried to use it to play music."

"Why do you say tried??"

"Strings need to be processed. After cutting a person open, you cannot produce sound by pulling a bow directly on the internal organs."

Tobias continued to explain.

Incredibly natural, without concealing his professionalism.

But in his words, he unconsciously deflected suspicion from himself.

He didn't know the body had been processed.

And his lack of knowledge was further highlighted by Will's keenness!

Seeing this.

Will also sighed slightly, and in his heart, he seemed to subconsciously rule out some of the suspicion on Tobias.

"The vocal cords were chemically treated, the same way as catgut strings. We didn't release those details."

"You are looking for someone who knows how to make catgut strings, aren't you?"

Tobias continued to perform.

Guessing the purpose of Will and his party's visit as an innocent bystander who didn't know anything.

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

He walked to a roll of strings in the shop on his own, picked it up, and handed it to Will.

"My goods are all the best catgut strings imported from Italy. The string section of the Baltimore Metropolitan Orchestra refuses to play with other strings."

"The sound is more authentic."

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

And just while Tobias was explaining.

Will's face suddenly changed.

He seemed to hear something.

"Did you hear that??"

"What??"

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

Obviously.

Will's auditory hallucinations were acting up again!

And because of this.

Will also walked out of the music shop on his own.

Coming to the busy street to look for the source of the sound.

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