Hannibal's IQ

With "Silence of the Lambs" first, it is inevitable that audiences will compare the two films. After reading a lot of film reviews and discussions, most of these comparisons focus on Will being able to solve the case without much help from Hannibal, without showing Hannibal's IQ.
This view has always been tacitly accepted, until I suddenly had a new idea, maybe we can look at this problem from another angle.
Originally, Clarice was only a student of the FBI, and her first confrontation with Hannibal was obviously a disguise and nervousness with her words and expressions. In contrast, Will's first meeting with Chilton and the subsequent dialogue with Hannibal is more concise and unobtrusive, and Will is described in the original "Lamb" novel as follows: "The Crawford gang The most agile hound in the world, and a legendary figure in the academy." In
this way, it would be awkward to deliberately reflect Hannibal's contribution to the capture of the "Tooth Fairy", after all, the two films have different focuses: in "Lamb" Hannibal's main role is to prompt and exchange analysis for Clarice, while "Red Dragon" is his connection to the "Tooth Fairy" and trouble for Will. Passing these is enough to prove his IQ, isn't it?

    "The Silent Lamb" prequel. The Red Dragon Killer and Voldemort are actually the same person, hahahahaha. "The red dragon is The Great Red Dragon. It is derived from the description of the landscape of the end times by the apostle John in Chapter 12, verses 1-17 of the Bible. The incarnation of the devil, Satan, who wanted to devour the son of a woman wearing the sun, was knocked down to the ground during the battle, and later caught by angels, bound with a large chain, thrown into the bottomless pit, and imprisoned for a thousand years "The plot is very similar to the Silent Lamb. This time Hannibal's fan killer is a hare-lipped man with a shadow of childhood abuse. With a weak heart, he took the evil red dragon as a guardian tattoo behind his back. His murder plan was almost perfect. The only thing that went wrong was that he fell in love with a blind girl. He has never experienced love, so when he first met love, he chose to escape.
