harry potter book of crimes

It must be said that Macana's decision to ask the old housekeeper to remove the mirror immediately seemed to be the right one... But who would have thought that what proved this for him was exactly the occurrence of another accident!

The accident happened in the afternoon after the old housekeeper sent people to dispose of all the mirrors in the castle.

"...I happened to be passing by the corridor at the door of the bathroom and heard a strange sound coming from inside. When I opened the door and went in, I found Sulaini... her head was soaked in a

The water-filled sink stopped moving! Oh...how could someone drown in the sink? This is too scary..."

In Mr. Blois's study, the servant who was the first to discover the scene of the accident was speaking, and his hands could not help but tremble slightly. Obviously, until now, he has not been able to understand what he saw at that time.

Get out of the terrible scene.

At the same time, Mr. Blois was sitting behind the desk with great momentum as usual, frowning and listening to the servant in front of him.

Behind him, the old housekeeper silently acted as his observer and did not interrupt at will.

Maka watched the two of them fall into thinking after the servant who was brought to report finished speaking, leaving the other standing leaning slightly at a loss, so she simply asked first:

"Then when we went to the bathroom, why was that... um, called 'Sulaini'? Why was she lying on the ground? Didn't you say that when you entered, she was lying on the sink with her head soaked

In the water?”

"Oh! I just wanted to see how she was doing. Although she was really not moving at that time, I thought she might still be able to be saved... I'm serious!"

Probably because they were afraid of being suspected, the other party reiterated it several times.

However, Maka actually had no intention of doubting him at all, and even the content of the questions she just asked was almost just looking for something to say.

In fact, Maka almost didn't have anything to ask at all.

"Mr. MacLean, is there anything else you want to ask him?" At this time, Mr. Blois said, "If you have any questions, just ask!"

"No, not for the time being." Maka then shook her head, "But...if you want to be suspicious, he seems to be the most suspicious, isn't he?"

"Well, let's go here first!" Mr. Blois heard what he said, and immediately waved his hand casually and said, "Take him to the basement and guard him, remember to keep a tight watch."

Before he finished speaking, two family wizards from the Blois family rushed out immediately, tied the servant with a magic rope and went out of the study. No matter how the servant shouted that he was innocent, neither of them could

Pay attention to him.

It wasn't until he was dragged out of the room that Mr. Blois waved his hands to several other maids and male servants standing not far away, and said calmly:

"You guys should go back first! Just do whatever you need to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old butler, who had never moved, finally took the initiative to walk towards the servants and led them out. From the looks of it, he might be trying to appease those servants who were very uneasy at first sight.

Servant went.

And until now, only Maca and Mr. Blois were left in the study again.

"Mr. McClain," Blois paused and then said, "Do you really think he is the suspect?"

After Maka heard it, he immediately shook his head. The reason why he said such doubtful words was just to make the other uneasy servants feel at ease after knowing that the "prisoner" had been controlled.

Just a few. And his ultimate goal is to let those people temporarily eliminate the panic among the many servants in the castle after they return.

If everyone is afraid, things will only get worse.

"Of course he's not a suspect."

Maka was sitting next to Blois' desk, also frowning and saying slowly:

"Mr. Blois, you should already know that I asked Mr. Butler to remove the mirrors in the castle, right? I'm wondering if the water surface of the sink filled with water is also

Is it equivalent to a mirror?"

After hearing this, Mr. Blois couldn't help but nodded again.

"Maybe it's not that clear, but... I think if it's still water, it can still be used as a temporary mirror."

After saying this, he changed his subject again and said quite seriously:

"But Mr. MacLean, what's going on with the mirror?"

"Well, how should I put it?" Maka scratched her head in embarrassment, "Anyway, it has something to do with that guy Haierbo! He has a very weird ancient mirror, and that mirror was in my hand last night.

I lifted the seal above once."

Just as he was talking, Maka suddenly spread his hands, shook his head and said:

"Although I thought I had set up enough protection in the room at that time to isolate certain bad influences, it seems now that its power has spread in a situation that I currently don't understand."

"Is that so?" Blois couldn't help but sigh slightly after hearing this, "If even you, Mr. MacLean, don't know what the problem is, this seems to be a bit bad."

"Yes!" Maka said, "I didn't expect that after I sealed that thing again, accidents would still happen!"

After saying that, the two couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then Blois said:

"So... Mr. MacLean, can I take a look at the 'ancient mirror' you mentioned?"

"Of course," Maka said, "In other words, I can only show it to you now because in the next period of time, I plan to leave here with it."

While saying this, Maka signaled to Blois, then turned and walked towards the door first. Upon seeing this, Blois immediately stood up and followed.

To be honest, now that things have happened, Maka also wants Mr. Blois to take a look at the Devouring Mirror. Let’s not talk about whether he can see any tricks. At least he is very good at sealing magic. In that aspect

It might be of great help to him.

However, due to the special nature of the Devouring Mirror, it obviously cannot be taken out casually for others to see. Even if the facts have proven that his protection does not seem to be able to completely isolate the influence of the mirror, it is still better than doing nothing.

Be strong.

Not long after, Maka took Mr. Blois to the top floor of the tower where he lived, and immediately began to rearrange the rune array very carefully.

Blois watched from the side, occasionally nodding, as if he understood something from it, but most of the time he still had the same puzzlement on his face as other people who had seen diagrams like Maka.
