ARGUMENTATION

Believe me, I'm a RJ is Partridge guy and am eagerly anticipating the reveal. 

However it's sooo clear that there is a complete alternate storyline going on in The Great Red Dragon, that we aren't shown the full details of as yet. 

I just wanted to point out this very important scene where Patrick goes and kneels in church. Just after he kneels, the camera pans to a painting on the wall which shows a man with a beard holding a book with the Roman Numerals I through to VII (7). 

The man is holding up three fingers with his right hand - suggesting the number 3. 

This makes me wonder could this be Heller's way of indirectly referencing the seven suspects? And on the original list, the 3rd name read out by Lorelei is Haffner...

I wouldn't be thrilled at this outcome as I want it to be Partridge, but this seems like a clue that is hard to ignore.

Please see the comments section for the link to the photo from that scene. 

What say?
