"...As Ken guessed, Ludo Bagman bought Krum."

In Avada's room, after Fleur repeated the words she heard at noon to the other two people word for word, she frowned and concluded: "In other words, the previous reasoning is correct, Ba Germann indeed deliberately created a conflict with Krum, lowered his winning rate in the hearts of the audience, thereby increasing his odds, and spent a lot of money on it...three hundred galleons."

"As for why he appeared in Durmstrang, it can probably be explained. This is probably the position he fought for after learning the news about the Triwizard Tournament - he is the director of the Department of Magical Sports , and the Triwizard Tournament was originally scheduled to be in the UK. If he could give full play to his influence, he might really be able to influence Durmstrang and let Karkaroff give himself a referee position. And the number of referees must be an odd number, so Barty Crouch was also invited to join..."

"And this also proves that Bagman's death should have nothing to do with goblins. And in this case, the investigation team that released these rumors probably does have a problem..."

"If we want to continue to explore the cause of Bagman's death, I'm afraid we have to start with the investigation team or even Crouch."

Krum's expression was also gloomy: "But our time may not be long."

"Although our actions at noon did not reveal flaws at the time, they will definitely discover the problem later. Although Ken's magic may be able to delay it, it will be a matter of time - if they are not lucky, they will probably have already realized it at noon. The time was abnormal, and then they started to take strict precautions against us, not to mention that we had a party before..."

"That's right."

Fleur nodded solemnly: "After the investigation team realizes that we may be cooperating secretly, they should impose stricter supervision on us - we may not have much room to move freely in the future."

"I recommend taking the results you get now directly to someone you can trust."

Krum said: "It is difficult for us to continue to fight against the power hidden in the dark. Moreover, it seems that this is not what we should do in the first place. We just want to get our innocence and the wand back... Maybe we should Tell Maxim and Dumbledore that among the four referees, they are the only ones who have nothing to do with this matter..."

"Don't think about it yet, Krum."

Avada, who had been silent before and seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly interrupted Krum's suggestion: "Actually, I also found out something today, which may be of direct help to the subsequent investigation..."

"whats the matter?"

Fleur and Krum raised their eyebrows in unison and looked at Avada with some anticipation - after working together for the past two days, they could vaguely feel the youngest warrior's ability to cause trouble.

"Tips about Karkaroff and Crouch."

Avada adjusted her sitting posture and lowered her voice involuntarily: "Someone told me that Igor Karkaroff was originally Lord Voldemort, a criminal in the United Kingdom, and was his subordinate. Later, after his downfall, he became his own He escaped, was chased by Aurors for six months before he was successfully captured, and then betrayed his accomplices in exchange for immunity from punishment..."

He simply repeated his previous inference and then added: "Then while eating this morning, I specially observed Crouch for a while, and indeed found marks on his wrist!"

"Unbreakable Vow?"

Krum's face became even more gloomy. After all, this was his principal's black material. Once exposed, it would be enough to bring shame to the entire Durmstrang: "If you read correctly, then this is probably him and Carkaro." There is irrefutable evidence of the husband's conspiracy... But are you sure that Bagman was really killed for this reason? The murderers were really the two of them?"

"And even if that's true, then why did they know that Bagman knew about their plot? And why did they kill Bagman now?"

Fleur also followed up and asked: "If it was really just because of August Rookwood, shouldn't Bagman have doubts about Crouch and Karkaroff more than ten years ago? ?”

"...There are too many possibilities, and we can't draw a conclusion yet."

Avada shook his head slowly, and then said: "Maybe Bagman showed some tricks, or maybe something happened to him that is not yet known in the process of seeking the referee position... But I These were not the reasons for suspecting Barty Crouch at the beginning. The things I mentioned before are just some evidence - you still remember that when Bagman was just killed, Crouch came to me faster than ever. Are we all going much faster?"

"……really."

Krum thought for a moment and then replied: "Fleur and I were called together, and when we were taken to the principal's office, you seemed to have been there for a while..."

"To be exact, at most two or three minutes after I said goodbye to Bagman, Crouch suddenly came to me and took me to the principal's office."

Avada said seriously: "Even if I died just after I left Bagman, it would take quite a while from the time he was found dead to the student reporting the professor, and then to the news reaching his ears... He It came so quickly, as if it had been waiting there from the beginning.”

"..."

The room fell silent again.

"……So,"

In the end, it was Krum who was the first to speak out again: "There are only two unresolved questions - one is whether Crouch killed Bagman, and whether he killed Bagman. Mann’s motive; the other is the one mentioned before…how did Bagman die?”

"Fairy dagger? Or the killing curse? If it was a dagger, why didn't Bagman notice it? And if it was a killing curse, why didn't anyone hear the sound of the curse?"

"And what role Karkaroff played in this - if this matter was really the work of Crouch, then I don't believe Karkaroff was unaware of it." Fleur added.

"Yes, and Karkaroff."

Krum nodded decisively, showing no intention of protecting his principal.

"Karkaroff..."

Avada also frowned - he had been too busy analyzing Bagman and Crouch before to pay much attention to the current principal of Durmstrang. This was an oversight on his part.

So he carefully recalled all the actions Karkaroff had observed since he entered Durmstrang, from the initial speech, hosting the banquet, announcing the warrior, checking the wand, and even defeating him. Karkaroff's behavior as Rauch inspects the trio's wands...

"!!!"

He suddenly trembled all over, and then asked the other two warriors extremely eagerly: "Since the day before Bagman was killed...have you ever seen Karkaroff use a wand?!"
