"So, you agree that the Chesapeake Ripper is equivalent to Dr. Lecter?" This made Isaac a little surprised, because before, he was the one who supported Dr. Lecter.

"No." Jack Crawford shook his head, "I believe Will was indeed framed, but isn't Dr. Lecter also framed?"

Isaac pretended to be listening.

"There were inconsistencies in Warren's statement, and the turning point was when you told him that the victim named Hugh was in good health and had no symptoms that he shouldn't have." Jack Crawford was not unprepared, "this is in Hugh's The confession also stated that he fabricated a lie in order to buy time to resist, and Warren believed it, thinking that he was hopeless. In this case, he chose to cover his accomplice as the last malice left to this world .”

"That's right." Isaac agreed. "Until he knows it's all a misunderstanding, he has a long life to live."

"So, he retracted his confession." Jack Crawford continued, "His well-documented charges are kidnapping and attempted murder, and the previous accusation of kidnapping Mrs. Jully. He is only 15 years old and a minor is a good shield. This will give him a lot more room to turn around."

"Combined with his claims of being manipulated," Issac added, "if you get a good lawyer, it's enough to turn you around."

"And the police do believe that there is another person behind him." Jack Crawford said, "Because of his eagerness to get rid of the crime, it is really hard to imagine that he would lie and drag another person into the water."

"Wait!" Isaac made a pause gesture, "You think Warren is trying to pick someone at random to take the blame?"

Jack Crawford looked at Isaac calmly, "Several days have passed, and the police haven't found any clues. Doesn't this prove anything?"

"If he was the Chesapeake Ripper, wouldn't that be normal?" Issac retorted, "If the Chesapeake Ripper was that easy to find, I don't think the police would have been silent for so many years. That was totally expected."

"But the most crucial link is still missing - the evidence." Jack Crawford said.

"Yeah, evidence." Isaac felt annoyed at the thought, "Dr. Lecter's innocence and decency make it a sin to doubt him."

"This is exactly what I don't understand." Jack Crawford finally explained why he went to Isaac, "I won't tell everyone, but the reason why the police and the BAU are focusing on Dr. Lecter at the moment It's up to you, you believe that Dr. Lecter is the murderer."

Issac looked at Jack Crawford, his eyes were calm, and then the pressure on his face made Issac give up the idea of ​​perfunctory him

"So?" Isaac acquiesced.

"Why?" Jack Crawford asked. "I know you have no evidence, otherwise the police would not have had any clues until now. I also know that you have a good relationship with Dr. Lecter, and you were his client in the past. But your behavior now is different from what I know .”

Who would go out of their way to make that person the center of attention when no one doubted him?In the current situation, those who do this are by no means friends, and they are almost enemies.

The relationship between the psychiatrist and his patients seems clear, but in reality it is blurred.When a trust relationship is established, if one party loses control and the other party fails to control it in time, there will always be some chaos.

This suspicion is not unexpected. After all, even though they belong to the FBI, Jack Crawford can be regarded as a senior, but who would ask him to know everything about people from another department?

"You think I'm intentionally misleading because of a personal grudge?" Isaac asked.

"In Will's visit records, you are the one with the highest frequency." Jack Crawford did not deny, "And can you guarantee that the change of Will's mind has nothing to do with you?"

Jack Crawford knew Will's trust in Dr. Lecter, and he believed that Will said that he was framed, but he had doubts about Will's claim that Dr. Lecter was the one who framed him.You know, when Will first went to prison, he thought he really killed someone.So, where is the key point that prompted him to change?

The appearance of Isaac Costa pointed the way for him.

Although Jack Crawford didn't know the reason, he was willing to find out the truth.

"Then can you guarantee that these coincidences on Dr. Lecter are really coincidences?" Isaac, who wanted to set fire to Dr. Lecter, found that the fire had actually burned himself, and immediately quit.

Jack Crawford was silent.As an old guy with decades of experience in solving cases, he knew that something wrong should not be let go.But people are far and close, he hated the Chesapeake Ripper, and felt powerless when he hated the almost provocative play of that man later; but he also trusted Dr. Lecter, who provided him with countless help and had a good personal relationship psychiatrist.

Even his wife is full of praise when it comes to Dr. Lecter.

Jack Crawford couldn't forget that when the relationship between him and his wife was so cold that he didn't know what the problem was, Dr. Lecter invited them to dinner and gave them a chance to communicate.Although cancer would take her life, it only made them appreciate the time they had left more.

Thinking of this, Jack Crawford felt a pain in his heart, forcing himself to get rid of this emotion.

Isaac saw a flash of sadness in Jack Crawford's eyes, which gave him a bad feeling. Jack Crawford and Dr. Lecter obviously have a good personal friendship, if he can't convince Jack Crawford that he is regarded as a person who takes personal revenge, then the follow-up troubles will be big.

"Do you know why everyone in the BAU is willing to identify Dr. Lecter with only suspicion?" Isaac quickly thought of a countermeasure. "Don't say it's because of me, it's an insult to the quality of the whole team."

"But I can't find any reason other than because they trust you," Jack Crawford said.

"It's because of trust." Isaac looked confident, "I spent nearly five years proving to them that sometimes a flash of inspiration is the key to the truth. In repeated guesses and confirmations, they also from the very beginning The accumulation of doubts has been converted into the current trust. Others only think that Will’s reenactment of the crime scene or even empathy is something wrong with his spirit, but you think this is his unique talent. They believe in me just like you believe in Will. They I believe that I will not talk nonsense about the murder case, and I believe that I will not wrong an innocent person."

Jack Crawford was speechless.This feeling of flashes of inspiration is indeed unreasonable, but as a veteran, he understands how precious flashes of inspiration appear in the process of handling a case, because that is often the key to making significant progress in the case.

"You want to know what I told Will?" Without waiting for Jack Crawford to answer, Issac continued, "Before Abigail died, Will had problems, both mental and physical. I think you know him Yes, I also know Will's self-preservation instinct. He gave up his field work because of mental problems, and chose to return to Quanti Academy of Sciences as a lecturer. It was you who contacted Dr. Lecter and asked him to start field work again .I believe this is because you are cherishing your talents and caring enough for him, however, you still haven't found any problems, because Dr. Lecter's medical certificate says he is fine."

Jack Crawford looked at Isaac, his eyes slightly widened, as if he already knew what he was going to say next.

"Dr. Lecter has been by his side all the time. Do you think Will's problem will suddenly erupt without warning? This simply denies Dr. Lecter's professionalism." Isaac shook his head, "I only believe in the last one that overwhelms the camel. A straw, but before that, someone must have told the camel that you are fine and have nothing on your back."

Jack Crawford couldn't help clenching his fists, "There's no reason for him to do that."

"It's also hard for normal people to understand why someone tortured and killed such a cute little animal." Issac sighed, "I don't care if you believe me or not, but I hope you can stay out of this matter, and go back and check if you have time. Check the cases that Dr. Lecter participated in, as well as the list of Dr. Lecter's clients, and you will find some interesting things. And..."

"And what?"

Isaac frowned, looking a little displeased, "If you want to check the progress of the case here, please tell me directly, there is no need to look through it without authorization."

"I didn't." Jack Crawford flatly denied, and then immediately reacted, "Someone peeked at your information?"

Isaac did not deny, "The order of the documents is out of order."

"Could it be a misunderstanding?" Jack Crawford didn't intend to excuse others, but at such a sensitive time, this is often a bad signal.

"Do you know Dr. Spencer Reid?" Isaac asked.

"Of course, that's a genius." How could it be possible that Jack Crawford didn't know about the high-IQ talents who were exceptionally recruited into the FBI.If Dr. Reid hadn't been tagged as Jason Gideon as soon as he came, I don't know how many people would want to grab it.

"He has a photographic memory." Isaac glanced down at his watch, "I still have something to do..."

This was a prelude to leaving, but Jack Crawford, who had dropped several bombs in his head, gave Isaac a reminder in exchange, "Someone in the police station expressed dissatisfaction with you and reported it to the bureau. BAU will soon be released. Called back."

Before Isaac had time to say anything, he saw through the glass window that the glass door of the office was pushed open by JJ. The look on JJ's face gave him a bad premonition, and he opened the door of the reception room where he was. Just heard the last sentence.

"...Warren died suddenly in the hospital!"
