[Zhongyingmei] That snake

"Put down the pepper in your hand, and then don't get distracted, go and chop the onion." Oliver looked at Jack whose eyes were wandering in vain.

Jack shuddered and came back to his senses. There was a pot of thick and sweet corn soup in front of him, and he was holding a box of sinful peppercorns in his hand, but fortunately, the angle of inclination was not enough to let the contents of the bottle Dark powder spilled out.

He put the pepper back in place, rubbed his nose, took the knife from Oliver and walked around to chop the vegetables.

Oliver didn't take the initiative to ask Jack's questions, he knew that if Jack wanted to say something, he would ask it himself.as it is now.

"Oliver, can you tell the difference between mutants and normal people?"

"Okay. Do you think you've met new mutants?"

"I'm not sure either. But what do you think of November?"

Oliver looked up at Jack with a hesitant expression, "I haven't had much contact with him, but I'm sure he's not a mutant. Did something happen?"

Oliver has now confirmed that this November is the child he asked Loki to bring out from the Hydra base.And he was, indeed, the biological son of Will and Hannibal.As for how this is done, Oliver guessed that it was probably Hydra's weird technology that was fiddled with when it had nothing to do.He didn't find anything abnormal at the time, but he couldn't guarantee that Hydra didn't do superpower experiments on the child or the sequelae left by the technology back then.

"He and I went to West Virginia yesterday to check out the new Buffalo Bill dump site and there was another victim."

"I heard about it."

"November said he had some hallucinations, like a pendulum in front of his eyes, and some hallucinations like, um, a combination of empathy and thinking like a murderer from class?"

It could be Will's genetic gift, like the golden pendulum in Will's head and Hannibal's good sense of smell, but let's hope November doesn't inherit something other than a sense of smell from his other father.

"Sounds like some sort of innate skill that would help solve a case. Other than that, what do you think November is like?"

Jack froze for a moment, searching for words in his mind, "Well, smart, punctual, friendly, sincere..."

Oliver's helpless gaze made him stop for no reason.

"Jack, I don't need you to memorize the ten excellent qualities necessary for a good American citizen in the kitchen, look at your knife, don't cut your hand."

"Well, I just thought that the descriptions would be long and complicated to say otherwise. He graduated from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, in Baltimore. He told me he volunteered for a few years after graduation, Then I went back to the FBI Academy to study. As for the rest..."

"You can find a standard to measure it."

"Captain America"

"Are you serious?"

"Well, no."

"I remember you took Will Graham's class, and you met him when you went to November's house, by his standards."

"If you use Mr. Graham as a comparison, November is willing to communicate with others and never rejects social interaction. If my feeling is correct, he is actually very sensitive to other people's emotions, but he makes himself less sensitive, To avoid some communication troubles.

He has some potential to be a convincing leader.However, when he is alone, he seems to be very emotional. When he is with his family dogs, he can groom them very gently, but he will not smile or frown. facial expressions that express emotions.Well, wait a minute. "Jack put down the knife and took out his phone to check the new arrivals." Starling said she had a new discovery and wanted to discuss it with us.Such a shame, I thought I'd be able to eat this meal. "

"It will take at least half an hour." Oliver lifted the lid of another pot, looked at the color of the oxtail in the tomato soup, "but there is a dessert already made in the refrigerator, you can take it away."

"I couldn't love you more," Jack said, running to the refrigerator and his briefcase.

Hotch looked at Jack who said goodbye and rushed out of the house, walked into the kitchen and picked up the knife Jack left behind and continued to help Oliver chop vegetables.

"Do you miss the time when you ran to catch a plane with just one phone call?"

"There are some."

"The college video conference is over?" Oliver asked.

"No, but what they were talking about wasn't important or meaningful, so I hung up."

Oliver shook his head with a smile, "Don't you think you've become more self-willed these years?"

"I have every right to do that," Hotch said, "but you…"

Oliver knew that what Hotch wanted to mention was the government's strict control over him, but he never felt that this was an issue that needed to be discussed, "I probably used up all the willfulness in my life in Arlington more than ten years ago. That’s right, they can do whatever they want, after all, my role is to maintain the agreement, which is also in line with my own ideas. Compromise and concessions have indeed achieved the results they deserve.”

"How long?"

"Probably ten or twenty years," Oliver blinked, "after they loosen the regulatory requirements a bit and you retire from the academy, maybe we can take a road trip. They may not allow me to leave the United States casually, But America is big enough."

"What about after visiting the whole of America?"

"I don't know either, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Oliver said, "But now there is a question, do you know November Graham?"

"Will's adopted son, he is also my student."

"Jack likes him very much, but he is not brave enough. He should really learn from me."

"Why do you call your escape to X Academy that year brave. Wait, you said that Jack..."

"Don't tell me you didn't see it, Tahsa saw it right away."

Maybe he tilted his head, "I...not."

"It's okay, that's not the problem here, November is not Will's adopted son, I mean, he is Will's biological child."

"Then who is his mother? Will, does he know that he accidentally had this child?" Hotch had already taken November as Will's child who was living outside.

"I don't think he knows. As for his mother, if father has already referred to Will, then the word mother," Oliver breathed out, hoping that Hotch would be mentally prepared, "the word mother should belong to Hannibal Lecter."

The knife in Hotch's hand slashed, but he didn't cut his finger, but cut the onion into triangles, "I remember Hannibal Lecter, isn't he a transgender?"

"Of course he wasn't." Oliver said, "When I was doing an undercover mission in the Hydra base, I rescued some experimental subjects. Among them, those without special abilities were sent to the orphanage sponsored by Stark. November It was one of them. I chose the name. You know, I was not in a good state of mind at the time, so I never thought about it."

"November doesn't act like Hannibal Lecter, nor does he look like Will." Hotch said calmly.

"I hope so." Oliver pressed his eyebrows, "I didn't tell Will, or Hannibal, but Hannibal has already met November, and if Jack and November continue to pursue this case, they will meet again, if Hannibal is brave enough , he will find out about it."

————————————————————————————————————————

Starling told them to go to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, where Crowford was.

Just park under the Hoover Building at [-]th and Pennsylvania Avenues and walk two blocks to the museum.

Apparently Crowford knew that Jack and November ran to the Elk River alone to check on the scene of the body dumping, but he just snorted coldly, walked forward quickly with his hands behind his back, leaving his back to them, and didn't do anything more. Lots of scolding and questioning.

Walking up the second floor and down a hallway, passing boxes of anthropological specimens, Crowford finally began to introduce the new situation. "Senator Martin's daughter, Catherine Martin, was kidnapped in Memphis," he said, "Bison Bill caught her in the parking lot and no one saw it. Last time it was day 18 the floating body showed up and this time Kathleen Martin is in Bill's hands. Maybe we have a week to go, at best that's it Alana Bloom thinks his time between kidnapping and killing is getting shorter."

"He's more proficient." November interjected suddenly.

"What do you want to say?" Jack's tone was not very good, like the sound of rubbing two handfuls of sand in his hand.

"He skinned people for a purpose. He didn't want to abuse them. Killing people was just an added bonus."

Corwford stopped, turned his head and took a deep look at November, "I don't deny your opinion, but pay attention to your words. This time, we may have a small breakthrough."

Starling looked up at him, hopeful and focused.

Crowford continued, "We found a worm in the throat of Victim No. 6, and now we have another, which Dr. Pilcher and Dr. Rowden at the Natural History Museum are identifying."

They went around the corner to the door of the anthropology department instead of the entomology department.

In the middle of the room, three men in lab coats were busy at a table.Starling smelled a familiar smell, and Crowford led the three of them forward.

On a stainless steel tray on the workbench was the head of Klaus, the one Starling and the others had found in the warehouse in Split where Raspail's legacy was stored.

"The worm was found in Klaus' throat," Crowford said.

"You think it's possible that Buffalo Bill killed Klaus, many years ago?" Jack looked at the specimen bottle that used to hold Klaus's head on another utility table, and all the liquid in it was poured out. It came out, but the old color could not be washed off.

"I know it's too much of a coincidence at this moment." Crowford didn't give a direct answer, yes or no.

"But Dr. Lecter told us where to find Klaus," Starling said. "His patient, Benjamin Raspail, claimed to have killed Klaus, and Dr. Lecter said he believed the cause of death was probably accidental sexual asphyxiation." .”

"That's what he said. Years ago, he also said that Will Graham's mental condition warranted a case investigation."

"You think Dr. Lecter might know exactly how Klaus died? Neither by Raspail nor by sexual asphyxiation."

"Klaus had a worm in her throat, and the girl in West Virginia had a worm in her throat, I've never seen it, but I'm sure there's a connection between the two, and the Entomology Department will do further identification .”

"You brought the three of us here because you wanted us to see Dr. Lecter again." Starling asked.

Corwford turned his head and glanced at the faces of the three, and the movement of his head was not small, which was obvious. "We went to ask him, he didn't speak, but he handed a note that if anyone wants to speak to him, he only accepts November Graham."

Starling was puzzled, but Jack was surprised and worried.

"I didn't ask," November said.
