[Comprehensive Yingmei] I am not I do not have

Abel Gideon was sitting in the prison van, which was about four feet high, enough to sit on a chair welded into the compartment and straighten up, but not tall enough for a grown man to stand up.

He was guarded by a policeman and a nurse. The policeman sat directly in front of him, and the nurse sat on a bench beside him.The benches are metal and hard.

Will looked at the blood-splattered crime scene in the car and closed his eyes.Now, he is Abel Gideon.

"All I need is one hand."

My hands and feet were in shackles, and I pressed the thumb of my right hand to the corner of the metal bench and broke it. The pain was sharp to the nerves, but I didn't care much.The policeman sitting across from me saw my actions and rushed over to hold me down.

But I pulled my right hand out of the circular space of the handcuffs before that happened.

I raised my chained feet and kicked the policeman's thigh, punched him in the head with my right hand, and stood up.The nurse rushed over from behind and hugged my waist, trying to control me.

I pulled the handcuffs that hadn't been removed from my left wrist again, and strangled the nurse's neck.The two of us lay on the ground together and the cop got up, hunched over to attack, but I straightened my legs and was able to kick his head into the ceiling.

It's not hard to have a hard ceiling smash a man's head.

When the policeman was unable to move and collapsed without breathing, I turned over and pressed the nurse under me, and scratched his neck with the end of the free handcuffs.

Unlike using a knife, the wound left by the handcuffs was long and wide, with irregular openings, and blood kept bubbling out, bubbling. When the nurse fell to the ground and twitched nonstop, the escort driver in front had already heard the sound inside the car , Immediately slam on the brakes.

I didn't stand still and bumped into the carriage, with my ears on the ground, I could clearly hear the sound of him running behind with a gun to open the carriage door.I immediately stood up, took off the obstructing handcuffs and threw them into the pool of blood of the nurses, bent over to get ready, and jumped out the moment they opened the car door.

Beverly saw Will shudder, opened his eyes, and broke away from his fantasy.

Now, in front of his eyes are the three corpses that were dragged by Abel Gideon and placed under the tree by the side of the road. Their various organs were removed by Gilliam and hung on the branches in front of the corpses with veins. with a bow.

"He was in a completely different mental state when he was running than when he was killing," Will said to Beverly. "He now has a new understanding of who he is."

Although, Abel Gideon's attending doctor, Frederick Chilton, has always claimed that Chilton admitted that he was the Chesapeake Ripper, but from the female nurse he left in the mental hospital Judging from his dead body and the conversation Alana and Wilson had with him in prison, Abel Gideon didn't really know who he was.

But Will knew, at least, that he was no Chesapeake Ripper.

"He took a uniform, a police walkie-talkie, two [-]mm pistols, a bottle of pepper spray, pistols and handcuffs," Beverly told him. .

"It's not what he took that matters, it's what he left behind. The Chesapeake Ripper would also disembowel his victims to remove their organs, but he never left the organs at the scene of the crime. He was at the crime scene. Get the attention of the Chesapeake Ripper, and the Chesapeake Ripper will follow the news."

"The local police found footprints in the woods, which were left about two to three hours ago. The direction is to return to Baltimore." Beverly continued, "Who is he going to find?"

"The Ripper. He's trying to show his difference, and the real difference needs to be corrected by the Ripper himself." Will said, "And he has no way to find out, but Aaron Gideon's vengeful psychology Might have driven him to Chilton, or whoever had interfered with his understanding of himself, and messed with his mind."

"Like me?" Alana stood next to Will and hadn't spoken until now, she rarely came directly to the scene of the crime.

"Maybe." Will was a little anxious hearing the sound of Alana's high heels. If Abel Gideon went to Alana, it would be difficult for her to protect herself. "After you go back, you'd better apply to Jack for protection."

"If it's really necessary."

Before Will goes to the crime scene in Baltimore, including the suspected Chesapeake Ripper, he and Alana go to the Baltimore State Psychiatric Criminal Hospital to meet with Chilton.

After hearing Alana's loud questioning of Chilton, Will understood why Crawford asked Alana to participate in this case.

Will was offended by most of Chilton's actions, and he always felt that the subtext in Chilton's words was aimed at his mental instability.However, arguing with Chilton is definitely not something that can happen to Hannibal in the imagination, only Alana will do it, and make Chilton helpless.

Afterwards, he asked Anara to post a profile to the detective in charge of the pursuit, "Abel Gideon, an organ transplant doctor, who killed his wife's entire family, was convicted of first-degree murder and was detained in Baltimore state psychiatric criminal hospital, where he killed a nurse, claimed to be the Chesapeake Ripper, escaped this morning after killing three more, armed, very dangerous. After finding the Chesapeake Ripper He'll probably keep killing until the Ripper or the Ripper find him. If you have another opinion, you can add that too. But just... you don't need to give him sympathy."

Alana realized that her thoughts had been seen through, and she opened her mouth, "He has also been my patient..."

Alana wasn't like Chilton or Hannibal in that she was always concerned with the sick, whoever they were.She's better suited to the classroom, or managed psychotherapy, than to personally investigating psychopathic cases.

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

Will stepped over the security tape at the entrance of the alley, and walked into another crime scene with Beverly.Beverly went to exchange information with the local police on duty first, and Will went straight to where the body was.

Killed with a single stab wound to the neck, the Chesapeake Ripper removed her liver and a piece of flesh from her thigh.

Will mentally compared the wound on the woman's neck with the wound on the neck of the orderly injured by Abel Gideon.The wound on this corpse was narrow and precise, and the knife he used... was probably a scalpel.Weir has long speculated that the Chesapeake Ripper had a medical background, but it's likely he's no longer working on it.

But is there a connection between this case and Abel Gideon?The death time of this corpse should have been two days ago, and corpse spots had already appeared on his body.Abel Gideon escaped because it was the most favorable opportunity on his way from the mental hospital to the court, and they seemed to have no connection on the surface.

Will stood up, looking at the few traces that he had discovered when he walked into the alley, but which he had put behind the importance of examining the corpse.

The alley was very humid, and the water vapor, dust and soil adsorbed on the brick wall together to form a layer of black stains.But a lighter mark appeared on the wall opposite the lady, with a brush mark in the middle, which, by its size, appeared to be the size of a person's back hitting the wall and sliding down.

Was the Chesapeake Ripper Attacked?Will looked at the marks on the wall, and rubbed his sleeve against the stains on the wall beside him. After the cloth was rubbed against the wall, the marks left were deeper, while the marks on the side seemed a little lighter in color, but There are obvious slip marks.

What was the Chesapeake Ripper wearing?Not cheap cotton or chemical fiber, this is a special material, maybe like silk or plastic?The Ripper might be rich enough.

There was some blood on the moss at the corner of the wall, which should have belonged to the victim.

The moss on the other side has been rolled over and turned into a puddle of mud, where the Chesapeake Ripper did fall.

Will turned away, crouched down again, and with his plastic-gloved hand, lifted the victim's wrist, checking her knuckles and nail gaps for no defensive damage.Lying down on the front, it was attacked from behind by the Ripper.Will looked at the intact high heels on her feet, and then picked up her sleeves to check her elbows, there were no signs of damage or bruising.She didn't fight back.

Who saw the Chesapeake Ripper?

The blood on the victim's thigh had gradually congealed and turned black, but the stench still lingered in the air. There was no trace of the second victim here, and the Ripper completed his work as usual.

The people who met the Chesapeake Ripper temporarily stopped him, but did not stand on the real hostile side with him.Another serial killer?

Will feels powerless for his own thoughts.

He walked out of the alley, wanting to temporarily avoid the stuffy air in the alley. Beverly was still talking to the police and taking notes in her notebook. She looked at Will's figure walking out and said nothing.

Will ran into Hannibal at the corner of the alley, "Hello, Will, what's the progress of the case?"

Will took off the glasses that he sometimes wore, and pinched the marks on the bridge of his nose, "This case should be committed by the Chesapeake Ripper. But it seems that he was attacked by an unknown person while committing the crime. Abel .Gideon is coming to Baltimore after escaping from prison. He will want to find the Chesapeake Ripper. Maybe the telepathy between the serial killers will allow him to find the Ripper. Or kill a few people first and let the Ripper pay attention. To him." Will sarcastically said, Hannibal had a faint smile on his face, noncommittal, "Can you receive this kind of telepathy? Use your empathy."

Will turned his head and pursed his lips to look at the crime scene in the alley, "Sometimes. Do you believe this kind of thing exists?"

"The mind is the most elusive thing." Hannibal admitted that serial killers have a unique way of identifying each other, just like the nuances he caught when he met Mooko, and he, the other night, In this alley, I realized that Mu Ke had already seen through the face under his skin—Lekosia's description made Hannibal vaguely annoyed that he was underestimated, but when he really came into contact with Mu Ke's behind Annoyance disappeared, replaced by curiosity and excitement.

Hannibal knew that if Muke knew he was the Chesapeake Ripper, he would tell Will without hesitation.Muke didn't know it yet, and Hannibal had already connected the hangman's case with Muke.

He remembered the charred body in the barn, with several strangle marks on the neck concealed by the burn marks.
