Chapter 356 Veritaserum

Surrender?

It's weird if I believe you.

A completely unresponsive system can already explain a lot of problems.

Muttering in her heart, Rosie nudged her toes, and the wand under her feet was held in her hand. Then, she put her hands behind her back and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Crouch stiffened for a moment, then said with a dry smile: "That's fine, but can you let me have a few words with him alone first?"

Rossi smiled and said, "Do you need a wand?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her left hand behind her back, holding Barty Jr.'s wand in her palm.

"Yeah, that's good, so I can control him better." Crouch said with a smile on his face and reached out to take the wand.

The next second, the wand suddenly raised and drew a circle: "Petrify them all!"

However nothing changed.

Rosie looked at him with a smile. She held her left hand in the air, and a wand that was exactly the same as the one in Crouch's hand was held in her hand:

"You're just holding a handkerchief and you want to cast a spell?"

Silent casting - the true form appears!

As invisible ripples flashed, the wand in Crouch's hand turned into a green handkerchief.

Looking at the veil in his hand in shock, he was silent for a moment and prayed:

"Miss Rossi, I just want you to forget these things. I have no intention of hurting you. Considering that he hasn't done anything yet, can you give us a chance? I will lock him up and prevent him from doing anything."

Those who come out to cause trouble again.

Isn't Melody going to retire? As long as you let us go, I can contact some old friends and support you in becoming the director of the Auror Office, and even the position of Director of Magical and Legal Affairs in the future, I can also help you make connections."

"Oh, do you think I need this? You want to clear my memory, and you said you have no intention of harming me. You really have the nerve to say that."

Rossi sneered, raised his wand and pointed at it.

"All petrified!"

A flash of white light flashed, and Crouch fell to the ground.

"After such a thing happened, you actually want to hide it for your son? Haha!"

With a sigh, Rossi took out the suitcase and put both his father and son in it.

"Ding! The escapee from Azkaban has been captured, but there seems to be something hidden behind him..."

As the system prompt sounded, the number prompt after task six also changed (current arrests: 4, minimum number of arrests: 2).

…

Eleven o'clock in the evening, Melody's office on the second floor of the Ministry of Magic.

The office was full of people at this moment, and on the floor in front of Melody's desk, the unconscious Crouch and his son were lying there.

Rossi sat quietly on the sofa, his eyes slowly scanning the people in the room.

Sitting next to her was Nymphadora Tonks with bright white hair and wearing a women's jacket.

Next to Tonks was Williamson wearing a scarlet robe and a ponytail.

"Mad-Eye" Moody sat across from him, glaring fiercely at Crouch and his son on the ground with one bright blue eye.

Next to him were Shakur, Robards and Delis.

These people are all Aurors, elites that Melody specially called back from vacation.

Half an hour ago, when Rossi and Crouch and his son rushed to Melody's house and conducted a brief interrogation on them, Melody immediately decided to summon back her capable men who were on vacation.

So it happened that Rosie and the others gathered here.

Just as she turned her eyes around the room, the sound of footsteps approaching quickly came in.

Three seconds later, Rufus Scrimge appeared in the doorway.

"Director, the application for the truth serum has arrived."

While speaking, he shook the bottle of potion he had obtained from the Department of Mysteries in his hand.

Melody said "hmm" and pointed at little Barty on the ground and said:

"Feed it to Barty Crouch Jr."

Rufus nodded, walked over to Little Barty and dragged him up, then opened his mouth, gave him a sip of the clarifying potion, then took out his wand and pointed it at him:

"Revitalization!"

A brief red light flashed, and little Barty slowly opened his eyes.

The resuscitation spell has taken effect!

Everyone sitting in the office turned their attention to him.

His eyes were dull, the muscles on his face were slack, and he looked completely dull.

"Can you hear me?" Rufus reached out and patted his face twice.

Little Barty blinked: "You can hear it."

"Tell me your name, gender and age."

"Barty Crouch Jr., male, age 30."

Hearing this, Rufus raised his eyes and looked at Melody: "Director, the Veritaserum has taken effect."

Melody stood up and walked to Barty Jr.: "Tell me, how did you escape from Azkaban?"

In fact, Rosie has already spoken about the answer to this question, and she confirmed it with Crouch.

But in order to let other Aurors know the situation, she asked again.

Crouch told the story of his escape from Azkaban in an emotionless tone.

"...The dementors couldn't tell who was who at all. They only knew that my father brought people in and brought people out. They had no idea that the people in the cell had been replaced.

My mother drank Polyjuice Potion until she died, so she died looking like me.

After my father took me back, he pretended that my mother had died and held a secret funeral. After that, he used the Imperius Curse to control me so that I could not move freely..."

"Then when did you get in touch with the mysterious man?"

"In August, the house elf who nursed me back to health secretly took me out for a walk while my father was away on business, and I happened to meet the master possessing Quirrell."

"So, house elves are not trustworthy at all!"

Delis' dissatisfied grunt immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This guy's thinking is very problematic! Rossi secretly laughed and complained.

"No, I'm not speaking for Crouch, I, I, I just..." Delis blushed in embarrassment in the eyes of everyone, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

After glaring at him, Melody turned her gaze to Barty again:

"Who else are your accomplices? What do you want to do with the madness potion?"

"Peter Pettigrew, Quirrell, and the Malfoys."

His eyelids trembled, "On the third day after Halloween, the master came to see me. He asked me to prepare the madness potion, then gave it to Lucius, and then asked his son to find a time when there were many people to pour the potion.

To the Defense Against the Dark Arts assistant at Hogwarts."

"Assistant teacher?"

Hearing what little Barty said, Melody looked at Rosie in surprise.

"Well……"

Rossi, who was furious because of their plan, saw her look at her and immediately explained, "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to teach well by myself, so I found a friend to be my teaching assistant."

Immediately afterwards, she was worried that Melody would ask why she used the "Insanity Potion" to splash the assistant teacher, and she stared at little Barty and asked: "Do you know where Voldemort is hiding?"

"I don't know, the master has never shown his face since he looked for me that time."

"Then when did you give the madness potion to Lucius?"

"A week ago."

A week ago? That was before the Christmas holidays started?
