[Zhongyingmei] That snake

Chapter 215 The Silence of the Lambs 2

November saw Jack sitting on the bench under the tree, and walked over quickly.

Jack was holding a half-eaten sandwich in his hand, with his head down, as if he had already fallen asleep sitting here.

November sat lightly on the other end of the bench, watching Jack's head nod from time to time, making him a little worried that Jack would break his own neck.

But fortunately, Jack woke up before the whole person fell down from the chair. He opened his eyes and took a look at the familiar scenery of the FBI Academy, and then turned his head to look at his classmates at the same table these days. I don't even know where I am.

November shook his fingers in front of his eyes dumbfounded, and Jack finally regained the focus in his eyes.

November's nostrils moved slightly, smelling a smell of alcohol, he looked at the black circles under Jack's eyes, "A crazy night?"

Jack took a bite of the sandwich, "I went to New York to attend a friend's birthday party, and I just flew back from the plane this morning."

"There is a physical training class in the afternoon, you are so sleepy, and you drank a lot of alcohol last night, are you sure you can keep up?"

"Physical training class? Oh, that's not a problem." Jack nodded dully, "Do I smell bad of alcohol?"

"No," November shook his head, "I just have a sensitive sense of smell, and you drink vodka?"

"Yes." Jack was a little surprised, after all, vodka doesn't have any bouquet.

"Then I might have to take back my 'crazyness'. If your party host buddy pours you a few more shots of vodka, I don't think I'll be able to see you here today." November laughed.

"No," Jack stroked his forehead in despair, "it's not him, it's her."

"It's your girlfriend who made you fly to New York in the middle of the night?"

Jack recalled some painful memories, and felt his eyelids twitch, "No, she definitely won't be. I prefer to call her childhood shadow."

Seeing November's probing gaze, Jack continued, "It's the daughter of Oliver's friend, probably due to genetic factors. She is indeed beautiful, but the level of violence is even higher than his beauty value."

Jack was referring to Natasha and Banner's daughter, a little beauty with red hair and green eyes, who did not inherit Banner's Hulk genes-everyone was relieved when they knew this result, and did not receive the strengthening potion that Natasha had injected influence, and neither parent intended her to follow their path.Little Tasha just entered the modeling circle with great enthusiasm under the sponsorship of Tony, but due to the influence of her growing environment from childhood to adulthood, her force value is frighteningly high.

Jack settled the sandwich in his hand twice, and commented, "I hate squid. I remember that the two of us have the same class this afternoon, let's go.

"Yeah." November held the coffee he had just taken a sip of and followed Jack's footsteps.Winter has not yet passed, and the white sunlight casts shadows of dead branches on the road.When the wind blows, the picture scroll of shadows on the ground begins to sway like water waves. "The weather is still cold, but the lake has started to melt, and the time for winter fishing has passed."

"Ah..." Jack sighed, "There is a lake in front of my house, but unfortunately it doesn't freeze, and there are no fish."

"I remember your home is in Washington." November asked, "It's even colder than Maryland, why?"

Jack raised his eyebrows, and his exhaled breath condensed into white mist in the air, "Probably because the waves in that lake are relatively large, which is not suitable for freezing and fish survival."

"A lake with big waves, you must be kidding me."

"A man-made lake, you can take your fishing rod there one day and try it, and make sure no fish will get the bait."

Clarice Starling walked quickly from the shooting range of the mock shooting training center to the BSU office. Jack. Crowford wants to see her

Starling had seen Crowford in classes at the University of Virginia, and had glimpsed him in the classroom doorway when Will was in class, which seemed to be happening more often lately.

Crowford had lost a lot of weight, and the collar of his shirt was too big for him.Anyone who is interested in serial murders knows that BSU has a troublesome case on hand, Buffalo Bill.

Starling guessed that Crowford wanted Will Graham to investigate this case, but Graham returned to the college to teach after the red dragon case that had caused a lot of trouble that year, and refused all cases. Just a lecturer, not an FBI agent, he couldn't pass the FBI's psychological test.

Crowford hung up the phone when Starling walked into his office.

"Good morning, Clarice Starling," he said.

"Hello." Starling just smiled politely.

After some pleasantries and inquiries about her past work and study experience, Crowford got to the point, hoping that Starling would go to the mental hospital to ask Dr. Hannibal Lecter to do a questionnaire.

In any civilized place, the mention of the name is always followed by a short silence.

"Uh ok, I'm glad I got the chance, I was just wondering why me."

"It's mostly because you're an available candidate," Crowford said. "I don't expect him to cooperate. He keeps saying no."

While Starling was in deep thought, a knock on the door made her look up, and there stood two other men in FBI cadet windbreakers, with a few leaves still stained on their windbreakers, it was definitely not a capture training Weeds that sometimes stick to the ground.

The two seemed to be familiar with Crowford, and after nodding, they walked into Crowford's office.

Starling knew them too, Jack Hotchner and November Graham, who she took classes with.

"Sorry, we're late," November said.

Crowford nodded, his expression was not angry, "Just right, I told Starling the important point, you two months to listen carefully," he turned to Starling and said, "This time the two of them will go with you .”

November and Jack met Will on the way, and he was trying to lure out a wounded stray dog ​​hiding in the bushes with a chop in his hand.But the stray dog ​​seemed terribly quiet because of the injury, so the two boys volunteered to step into the bushes to help Will get the dog out, and sent it to the pet hospital.

"Listen, be very careful with Hannibal Lecter. Dr. Chilton, the director of the psychiatric hospital, will go through the procedures you deal with him one by one. Don't deviate from the procedures. No matter what. Even if Lecter talks to you, he is nothing more than It's a curiosity to get to know you as a person, like a snake poking its head into a bird's nest, you and I understand, you have to go back and forth a few times during the conversation, but you don't tell her anything about yourself Nothing, nothing about your personal circumstances, should enter his mind. Especially you, November Graham, whose last name would interest him."

November nodded, "Then if he asks about my father, how should I answer, tell him?"

"You know what to do." Crowford looked into November's eyes.

When Will brought the child back from the orphanage, Crowford was a little shocked, sad and a little bit guilty.The child's eyes were shaped like Will's, like the eyes of those dogs that Will brought back.However, Novmber's reddish-brown iris and the refraction of light in his lens made Crowford seem to see Hannibal Lecter's shadow.

He kept an eye on the kid.But at least so far Crowford had trouble spotting Hannibal in his demeanor, which put him at ease for a while.But when he now wants to use this child with a last name that has special meaning to Hannibal to try to escape the message he wants, it makes Crowford feel his heart beat back to him accidentally smashing the treat in the kitchen The frequency of the guest's cup of tea.

"Hopefully," said November.

"Sunday at nine o'clock, I must get the report."

Starling was worried that she would not be used to working with two students she had just met, but when Jack helped her strongly refute some sexually harassing words that came out of Dr. Chilton's mouth, She was suddenly a little rejoiced.

She hopes to join BSU after graduating from college, but that requires at least six years of law enforcement experience, but Starling has forensic science knowledge.She is a little nervous now, not only because she is going to meet Hannibal the Cannibal, but also because she wants to do this job well and give herself a chance.

Chilton, who was stunned by Jack, honestly didn't dare to say anything more.Just introducing them to the proper rules, he said: "Then you should be able to remember these rules, don't put your hand over the fence, don't touch the fence, don't hand him anything except soft paper, pen and pencil , sometimes he uses his homemade felt tip pen, the paper you hand him must not have staples, paper clips, or pins on it, items are only given to him through the food slide, and come out the same, no exceptions , if he hands you anything through the fence, you can't take anything, do you understand what I said?"

"understood."

Dr. Chilton left, leaving one of the orderlies, Barney, to accompany the three of them through the double safety glass doors and past the other wards, Lecter's being the last.

Natural light is far away from these wards blocked by iron fences, while the incandescent lights in the wards at the end of the corridor are on, and the light emitted falls through the iron fences onto the concrete floor outside the wards, with the sharp shadows of the fences in between.
