[British and American Drama] Mental Correction

Chapter 76

Claire woke up in the hospital.After opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was not the doctor or the nurse, but the face of Spencer Reid from the BAU team.

She didn't know how long Rhett had been waiting. He sat next to her hospital bed and quickly flipped through the book in his hand in a page-by-page manner.Claire moved her finger and immediately caught the young detective's attention.

"Long time no see." Claire's voice was difficult because she didn't speak.Reid froze for a moment, then nodded awkwardly: "Long time no see."

They fell silent.Spencer Reed is, as usual, not very verbal (or social).But clearly he was trying to break the silence.

He spoke very quickly: "In fact, I calculated that 609 days have passed since our last meeting, a total of one year and eight months. This is an extremely long time. On the day we met, you said you doubted me Hannibal is luring his patients to commit crimes. At the same time, I told you that it is very unsafe for women to go out alone at night recently, but soon after the police received a report of your disappearance, which made me feel uneasy all the time, but then With the evolution of time, you were wanted by the local police officer as a major criminal suspect who imitated the case with a human centipede, which made me worry about your recent situation. After you were sent to the hospital this morning, someone recognized you and reported you to the police. The serial homicide case that was recently taken over by the FBI is now in the hands of the BAU, which is why I'm here."

Claire blinked, and before she wanted to speak, the door was pushed open again.The lady who rushed in was familiar yet unfamiliar. As soon as she entered the door, she threw herself in front of Claire's hospital bed, tightly clenched her arms with both hands: "Nathan...do you know where Nathan went?!"

Ah, she... is Harris' mother.

They had a relationship many years ago. In Claire's impression, the other party was a career-oriented woman with a strong desire for control.Always wear the most exquisite makeup and wear the most appropriate clothes.

but now……?Claire looked at her dark eyes and haggard look, she looked like she was about to be crushed by something...

Claire moved her lips, and she heard her voice trembling slightly: "...Harris...what's wrong?"

But Harris' mother was overwhelmed by the doubts in her expression. She squatted down covering her face, and couldn't even answer Claire's question.

"If Harris refers to Nathan Harris, then he, like you, has been missing for a year and eight months. So far, no trace of him has been found."

Claire blinked, and said after a long time: "I met Harris more than a year ago."

She looked at Rhett: "At that time, he was with Dr. Hannibal Rector."

Rhett sat up straight, his tawny eyes fixed on Claire Vidal, and Ms. Harris stopped crying.Together, they looked at the pale Claire lying on the hospital bed, waiting for her to answer the secret that had disappeared for more than a year——

She said: "After I told you about my suspicions about Hannibal, I was anesthetized by him that night and taken to the crime scene of the ... human centipede case where I was kidnapped. I think it is very likely that he Noticing that I flipped through and secretly took pictures of his treatment records."

"He was trying to break Harris, to break me, and he enjoyed destroying people," she said.

She said: "Harris collapsed under Hannibal's pressure. I tried to tell him that I was Claire and his friend, but the mask on his face prevented him from receiving my call for help."

……

Claire stopped, and her hand couldn't help stroking the knife edge on her chest and abdomen, as if she could still feel the pain of being pierced by the cold bayonet.

She smiled bitterly: "Harris, he lost to Hannibal."

This memory stopped Claire's narration, and then she spoke again:

"I woke up in a basement with an oxygen tube inserted into my body. There were medical equipment in that cramped little house. I don't know how long I stayed here. The corners were piled up for more than a year. ] Related newspapers..."

She lowered her head, pondered, recalled, and then spoke again: "I pulled out the oxygen tank on my body, and I found that I lost control over my body. The long-term nutrient solution made me feel extremely weak, and my sore and vain body The footsteps made me feel extremely panicked..."

"I don't know, maybe the person who detained me was negligent, or for some other reason, I easily opened the door of the basement, and then came to the street..."

Claire looked at Rhett: "But I remember that house, that villa, with a red door."

Half an hour later, Mrs. Vido (Claire's mother) from another state came in a hurry. She hugged her daughter with red eyes, and she was extremely grateful for the loss.

The mothers of Rhett and Harris also left one after another.Because of Claire's return, the case has a new direction. Reid now just wants to fly back to the BAU headquarters to discuss new developments with his colleagues, and at the same time apply for a search warrant on Dr. Rector as soon as possible so that they can enter his home (and studio) to find clues.

Of course, it is impossible to listen to Claire Vido's one-sided words.More than ten minutes later, a more professional physician conducted a more comprehensive physical examination for Claire. After confirming that she had indeed been seriously injured more than a year ago, and that there was evidence of long-term injection of nutrient solution in her body to maintain her vital signs, at the same time Partial muscles of the body showed slight signs of atrophy... At this point, Claire did successfully remove her identity as a criminal suspect.

And Claire who stayed put?She closed her eyes under Mrs. Vido's cherishment as if treating fragile glass. She knew that her body would recover to a certain extent in the near future, and there would be a recent record.She needs to be more calm, with a more appropriate expression, demeanor, to erase the fact that Hannibal was in the room when she left the basement.

Because she couldn't explain why Hannibal would let her go, and if the explanation was done even slightly wrong, it would reintroduce her to the suspect's identity.

As for Harris... Claire didn't know where he went.But she knew very well that Hannibal would not kill Harris, or even let Harris commit suicide, because for his bad taste, the most interesting part of this game was actually Harris The collapse of Claire's image in each other's eyes.

This kind of process of shattering a beautiful, perfect image beyond recognition is certainly interesting, but it is only when they see each other again that the show can truly be completed.

Oh, what a joke.

Claire narrowed her eyes.I hope that the FBI can be more efficient in their work, and bring more trouble to this old gentleman who has always thought that he can play everyone in the applause.It would be better if he could be put in prison.

She stretched her eyebrows in this imagination.She realized that there are actually many ways to solve the problem. In the past, when she was angry, she could only think of killing the other party to vent her anger, but her naivety made Claire look a little ridiculous now.

On the other hand, BAU's work efficiency is indeed impressive.They quickly obtained the search warrant for Hannibal's studio, and then went to the destination immediately——

The FBI took away all of Hannibal's patient data.

But by the end of the day, none of them had contacted Hannibal Lackert.

The news of Claire's admission to the hospital was not known by whom. In the afternoon, countless reporters and media appeared downstairs, trying to take pictures of the "serial killer" or get a few words from her.The police at the door strengthened her protection and transferred Claire to another ward.But this scene was all too familiar, as if it had happened to her a few years ago.

Apparently, Mrs. Vidor thought the same, and she was worried that her daughter would be destroyed by the media again, and become the silent and gloomy social disorder who resisted contact with people a few years ago.

Naturally, Claire would not know that, facing the news of her reappearance after her disappearance, many people were concerned.

Steven Toth, who was doing an internship in another place, immediately bought a plane ticket back recently to meet his wronged (yes, he firmly believed that Claire must have been wronged) friend.

In a room without light, a thin man stared at the TV screen silently for a long time.Light and shadow cast shadows on his face.

Bruce Wayne, who was far away in Gotham, stopped changing the channel, and listened to the news about Claire that was being played, while his caring Mr. Butler had already handed over the news about this case in his meditation. latest information.

In the noisy Arkham prison, in this chaotic and irrational place where all the most vicious criminals in the United States are held, the clown with obvious scars on his face stomped the man trying to change the channel, his feet were ruthless crushed on the other person's face, and then made a malicious "shh, shhh—" sound, and then looked intently at the news broadcast on the TV screen——

They stopped what they were doing and listened to the latest progress of the case.

"As a criminal suspect in the [human centipede imitation case], he was found unconscious on the side of the road and was sent to XXX hospital."

"FBI agents have conducted a preliminary interrogation with the suspect, and the suspect claims that the criminal is someone else"

"It is reported that the suspect was actually imprisoned after being seriously injured while in a coma. The reporter of this station is still exploring the specific reasons, and will contact the police as soon as possible to follow up the latest case. Please look forward to it. Please continue to lock on xxx station. I'm a reporter..."
