Chapter 773 An unexpected discovery (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)

“Bring dinner to the room for me, and tell Mr. Allen Wayne for me.” Xu Chuan, who missed his meal, contacted the hotel manager, but the other party’s answer was quite interesting.

“You mean Mr. Wayne didn’t go to the restaurant?”

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, I know."

Hehe, this is really interesting. Xu Chuan smiled and put down the phone, and then started to collect the clothes scattered on the floor from the study.

Then he walked all the way back to the bedroom. Sheila was lying on the bed, still maintaining the same posture as before. She was naked except for the torn stockings on her legs.

Hearing the movement, the woman turned over lazily, then turned her head and looked at him with his hands stretched out, and the moisture in his eyes seemed to be about to flow out.

Xu Chuan walked over, took the person into his arms, carried him and walked into the bathroom.

Eating dinner delivered by the hotel, Xu Chuan took out his tactical terminal. He finally remembered Hannibal's tracker and planned to see what activities the psychiatrist performed today.

Unexpectedly, Hannibal's movement trajectory today was a bit strange. In the morning, he first went to Virginia and then stayed in a mountain forest for six or seven hours, and then ended up in a car repair shop.

car broke down? But what on earth is this guy doing in such a remote place in the cold weather? Xu Chuan shook his head. He would never guess such a thing.

 Would you like to go over and have a look? Is this his food processing factory or breeding farm? This ogre is very shrewd. Although it seems that his crimes are very regular, he is not limited to these rules. After all, when killing pigs during the New Year, you need to make a show of it, but if you want to eat meat, you can just choose one and kill it. .

These small details create very big obstacles for the police and FBI to investigate. In fact, the FBI still doesn’t know how many people the Chesapeake Ripper killed.

 …

At the same time, Dr. Hannibal's cold seemed to be getting worse. He walked for almost an hour in the cold wind in Somerville today before he stopped a passing car, and then paid a high price to borrow a tow handle. Broken cars are towed back to the repair shop.

The lion in the repair shop asked him for three thousand dollars, and Hannibal paid it. However, he also asked the owner of the repair shop for a business card and put it in the food category.

 Win-win, everyone has a better tomorrow.

But the cold was so uncomfortable that after taking the medicine, Hannibal had to give up his plan to go out to find prey.

It's just that the bad luck didn't seem to let him go. Just when he was about to take a rest, the doorbell rang.

It was Dr. Alana Bloom who came here, who was once a student of Hannibal. Seeing the sick-looking Hannibal, Alana almost exclaimed, "Dr. Lecter, is your cold so serious? "

　　After saying that, he supported Hannibal in his nightgown with both hands and entered the room, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so sick."

“It’s okay, but I can’t treat you to a meal this time.” Alana and Jack often come to his place to eat and drink, and of course he doesn’t refuse anyone who comes.

Not only that, Alana often helped him cook, and she never suspected that the internal organs that needed to be processed belonged to the victims in the cases that the FBI was investigating.

This girl with no personality defects is so cute and silly.

From Hannibal's point of view, this child is just an ordinary person who has not been traumatized. He may be smart, but there is really nothing special about him. It's so easy to control her. Just give her a little superficial praise, sympathy, or appreciation from the opposite sex, and she will walk into the trap on her own.

 So Hannibal doesn’t even have the desire to eat her now.

"So, have you eaten? Do you want me to get you something to eat?" In Alana's opinion, Hannibal is a very good teacher, a friend who is very comfortable to get along with, and a very attractive person. A strong man.

Hannibal shook his head, "Not yet. What, is Ms. Alana planning to help a patient prepare dinner?"

 “Why not?”

 Opening the refrigerator, Alana took out a few sausages and eggs. Well, she could make breakfast at most.

But she didn’t know that the sausage was from the deceased who was missing intestines that they discussed with the FBI yesterday.

Alana simply made a scrambled egg with sausage. She took a bite when it came out of the pan and seemed to think it tasted okay.

Hannibal sat aside with an inexplicable smile on his face.

 …

 Early the next morning, Xu Chuan finally met Allen in the restaurant, "Why didn't you come to dinner yesterday?" Young Master Xu directly replied, betting that the other person didn't know that he also didn't come to the restaurant.

Alan had an embarrassed expression on his face. He went to bed with Mag yesterday, and he didn't know why such an outrageous thing happened.

As expected, Xu Chuan pretended to be surprised, "Congratulations."

"Don't be ridiculous, brother." Allen made a confused expression, "This is the most awkward thing I have ever done in my life."

Xu Chuan burst out laughing. This man looked like he had been taken advantage of.

"I don't know why this is happening. I always feel that this woman has another purpose." Allen asked the waiter to pour him a cup of coffee.

Xu Chuan patted Allen on the shoulder and said, "You think too much, and you're not at a disadvantage." It's impossible to win this kind of thing in one go, but if it happened, their old man would laugh to death.

If you were more shameless and used some tricks, sooner or later the Fudge family's property would be swallowed up by them.

It’s just that Margot Fudge doesn’t seem like someone who is willing to make wedding dresses for others. This matter becomes more and more interesting as it goes on.

After that, Xu Chuan ignored the obsessed Sheila and went out directly. He first went to Hannibal's house and observed it outside for a long time. After confirming that there was someone there, he drove to Virginia, where Hannibal was before. That's where I stayed for hours.

 “Oh shit, it’s really cold.” Snow has begun to fall in Virginia, especially on the mountain roads where snow has begun to accumulate and the road conditions are very bad.

About two kilometers away from the target location, Xu Chuan stopped and took out a four-axis drone equipped with a high-definition camera from the trunk. This is a new product of the R&D department that has not yet begun mass production.

　　When it is turned on, its controller is like a game controller, and the images captured by the high-definition camera can be directly transferred to the mobile phone. In terms of performance parameters, it is almost the same as the DJI Phantom in the previous generation.

 Umbrella's R&D department is currently focused on the field of drones. Xu Chuan asked them to take the civilian route to reduce costs. Loitering missiles are difficult to produce, so using this thing to hang mortar shells is also a good choice.

　　If you encounter someone like Robert again, just send out dozens of them and kill her to death.

Okay, let’s go a little further. A high-altitude drone can capture a clear picture of the target without flying directly over the target. There are woods all around, and snowflakes are already hanging on the branches.

 The whole world seemed to consist of only Xu Chuan and that small wooden house. After observing for a while and confirming that there was nothing suspicious around him, he let the drone land and continued to drive forward.

 Then he stopped about two hundred meters away, and then drove the car into the jungle on the side.

Xu Chuan shivered when he got off the car. The temperature suddenly cooled down. He looked up and saw that the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and it seemed that a heavy snow was brewing.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look, and then go back to the hotel quickly. In this weather, it's more comfortable to hug the young lady under the quilt." Young Master Xu said to himself, re-checked the HK45 on his body, and then Walking towards the cabin.

He knew that Hannibal had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, so he walked extremely carefully. If this guy planted anti-infantry mines, what would be the explanation? No one said that ogres can't use modern weapons.

He walked two hundred meters for at least fifteen minutes and took out his pistol outside the cabin. Although there was a high probability that no one was here, there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Now I have looked around and found that the two doors at the front and back are locked and there is no monitoring equipment.

This kind of lock is actually very easy to open. He took out a tool bag from his backpack, found a small tool about the same length as an ear pick, inserted it into the keyhole and stirred it a few times, and the lock opened with a click. .

 Carefully pushed open a gap, and after making sure there was no trap or anything behind the door, pushed the door open completely.

 Xu Chuan did not enter immediately, but stood by the door and looked around the entire house. It must have been abandoned for a long time, and there were farm tools and some equipment with no apparent purpose inside.

There are several compartments here. There is a wooden staircase against the wall to go up to the second floor. In the middle area there are two cement pools covered with metal covers, which should be water storage tanks.

He first checked several compartments, two of which showed signs of being used. There was a metal cage in one compartment. Judging from the size, it was definitely not for keeping dogs, but it was empty inside. There was a rice bowl with some food remnants in it.

The other room was much more spacious. There were some medicines of unknown use on the shelves against the wall, and there was a table in the middle with some medical instruments, surgical instruments to be precise.

There is a sudden open space next to it. Logically speaking, this should be an operating table. There are some simple circuits here, which are probably connected to a generator.

Tsk, is this Hannibal’s food processing plant?

 Xu Chuan stepped back without touching anything, then walked to the two reservoirs, holding the handle on the cover with his left hand, and pointing the pistol at the mouth of the pond with his right hand.

The heavy metal cover on the left arm was pulled open with great force. It was still the same as opening a gap first, and then after making sure that there was no booby trap or anything like that, it was completely opened.

This pool is at least five meters deep into the ground, and there is more than one meter of water at the bottom.

 After that came another one. After pulling away, Xu Chuan stood there stunned for two seconds.

 There is no water in it, just a woman squatting on the dry bottom of the pool, alive.

 Seeing the cover above her head being lifted, she was looking up with numb eyes.

Xu Chuan took a step back. This is really a ghost. Did Mr. Ogre not finish his food? Do you understand Operation CD?

He held his chin and thought about what to do, call the police? Stop talking nonsense. How will you explain to the American police what you did here in the cold?

He deliberately put the lid back on her, but the woman below seemed to feel that the person above was not her kidnapper, and kept calling him for help.

“Oh, you really deserve to die.” Xu Chuan cursed and prepared to go back to the car to get the rope.

But as soon as he walked out of the house, he stopped again and looked back at the reservoir, "There won't be any traps."

Hannibal’s actions yesterday were so strange that he had to think more.

Walked back again, took out his cell phone and put it at the entrance of the cave to take a photo of the woman.

 Ignoring her cry for help, he called Allen and asked for the contact information of Freddie Louds.

He is going to bring this female reporter in. This is definitely big news, and Ms. Louds will definitely not refuse.

As for whether there are traps, there are benefits but there are risks. Isn’t this normal? He is going to let a female reporter go out of the way for him.

He first sent the photo to Freddie's mailbox, and then called her, "I'm Bear Grylls, whom we met before. I may have found a big news. The photo is in your mailbox." ”

The other party seemed a little surprised, but after hearing the word news, this surprise was forgotten. He opened the mailbox without hanging up the phone. After looking at the photos, Xu Chuan heard a chaotic sound on the phone. , it should be the woman opposite who knocked over the cup.

“Fuck, oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scold you.” Freddy wiped the coffee on the table with a paper towel, and then asked Xu Chuan anxiously, “Where are you?”

"It seems to be big news, but who is this woman?" Judging from her appearance, she must know the identity of this person.

The other party hesitated for a moment, but still told him, "Miriam Russ, an FBI intern, disappeared while investigating the Chesapeake Ripper. Since no body was found, it was not reported on my website. This case."

Xu Chuan nodded, so that’s it.

“Well, I have only one request. My name is not allowed to appear in your reports.”

The other party said without any hesitation, "Deal." Xu Chuan then told her the specific location.

Two hours later, a Jeep Patriot parked outside the wooden house. Freddie Louds, who had curly red hair, jumped out of the car and walked in eagerly.

This woman is so courageous. She dares to come here alone. You have to know that in this kind of wilderness, no matter what evil intentions Xu Chuan has, she has no place to escape. "You are the only one here?"

Freddy said nonchalantly, "I don't believe that a billionaire would use such despicable means to deceive me, a young reporter."

 “Where is he?” She had already prepared her camera. This time she would definitely send out the news first. As for whether FBI’s Jack Crawford would explode, it didn’t matter.

 “You are not allowed to write about me.” Xu Chuan emphasized again.

“Don’t worry, I’ll just say it was from an informant, and I won’t mention you to the police.”

 “OK, it’s in the second reservoir.”

Xu Chuan pointed behind him, and Ms. Freddy excitedly ran past him.

The woman had stopped calling for help after realizing that the people above her were ignoring her, until a voice sounded above her head, "Are you Miriam Russ?"

She raised her head and saw a head sticking out of the square well mouth. She replied excitedly, "Yes, I am Miriam Russ."
