Chapter 250

This instantly reversed the tide of battle!

It sealed the final victory of this fight!

As Tobias fell to the ground in pain,

Hannibal caught his breath slightly and elegantly pulled out a handkerchief.

He used the handkerchief to pick up a stone art piece from the shelf.

Then,

without hesitation, he smashed it onto the head of Tobias, who was struggling to get up from the floor!

Thud!!

A dull, sickening thud that made everyone shudder echoed!

Tobias's struggling body instantly went still!

On the floor,

blood slowly spilled out!

It seemed to symbolize Tobias's life force!

Ended by Hannibal's decisive and cruel method in one blow!

When it came to a fight to the death,

Hannibal was the one who remained standing in the end!

And the countless viewers before their screens

still found it hard to believe.

Two such elegant, high-IQ criminals

had ultimately used such a crude and inelegant way to end everything!

[This.... he's just dead like that??]

[Hannibal's combat power....]

[This Tobias was already terrifying! He killed those two police officers all by himself!]

[Right! Such a psychopath must have trained a lot!]

[I didn't expect the Ripper to be a higher-level existence in the food chain than him!]

[Is Hannibal always this decisive when killing?]

[Since he's already killed one, of course he has to finish the job!]

[Tobias delivered himself to his door!]

[No need to trouble Will and the others now, Hannibal solved it all by himself!]

[Who would have thought a serial killer would be captured by a psychiatrist!]

Not long after,

during a break,

Hannibal notified the police.

Countless officers began investigating the scene.

Will and Jack soon arrived at the scene upon hearing the news.

Looking at Hannibal's bruised face and the chaos of the scene,

"Tobias killed two Baltimore police officers and almost killed an FBI agent, yet his first stop after killing was here."

Jack looked directly at Hannibal, saying with suspicion,

"Your office."

"He came to kill my patient."

Hannibal remained calm in the face of Jack's suspicion.

He had already prepared his wording.

He looked at Franklin's corpse on the floor.

"Is your patient the one who listened to Tobias play the serenade?"

"I don't know, Franklin didn't tell me all his secrets."

Hannibal said, half-truthfully.

His face showed a timely expression of confusion and bewilderment,

"He was just trying to persuade Tobias to stop killing, then Tobias snapped his neck and immediately attacked me."

"You killed him?"

"Yes."

Hannibal nodded as if still shaken.

He appropriately displayed the demeanor of someone who had narrowly escaped death.

Jack nodded as well,

accepting Hannibal's explanation.

Will continued to ask,

"Was Franklin involved in Tobias's murders?"

"I had assumed he simply chose his friends poorly."

Hannibal said with regret, bowing his head slightly.

Will felt a sense of guilt.

He stepped forward and apologized proactively,

"I'm sorry, I feel like I've dragged you into the mire as well."

As they spoke,

the two exchanged a smile.

Clearly,

Hannibal had by now completely gained Will's trust.

He had even caused the latter to feel a profound sense of guilt,

believing that Hannibal, an innocent party, should never have been involved in so many homicides.

It was inherently unfair to him.

Will had already been quite critical of these brutal criminals and cases.

Now, Hannibal had been dragged into it as an unrelated bystander.

Unconsciously,

Will's resentment toward Jack grew a little deeper in his heart.

Happy New Year to everyone in the new year!!! May all your wishes come true!!!
