Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Chapter 161: To prevent my thoughts from being twisted again, I decided to write a book... …

As Dumbledore, his position was naturally at the very front.

Because Dumbledore also brought two children, the MACUSA people specially arranged seats for them.

While passing through the crowd and finding their seats.

Leif敏锐敏锐敏锐敏锐敏锐敏锐敏锐敏锐听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到听到邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利邓布利多被美国魔法国会监视的事情了。

It could be seen that Picquery had made all the preparations. Once the plan failed, the matter about Dumbledore would definitely be spread directly.

Of course, Picquery still hoped that the plan would succeed.

Because in that way, Grindelwald could not be acquitted, and she would not need to offend Dumbledore... …

Just as Leif and the others were seated, many people entered the Great Hall.

Before long, the entire Great Hall was filled with people.

However, even with the hall full, people were still constantly entering at the door, standing far away to watch... …

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a loud noise rang from a door at the bottom.

The door was flung open.

A series of Great Hall officials walked in from behind that door.

President Picquery walked at the very front.

She would be the presiding judge for this trial.

Today, it could be said that everyone from the judge to the jury was her person!

In addition to the tricks she had secretly used, she didn't believe that Grindelwald could clear his name under such circumstances!

President Picquery sat in the middle seat. She glanced around and then her gaze fell on Dumbledore in the front row.

Dumbledore also looked at her, his blue eyes as calm as water.

He smiled and nodded at President Picquery.

President Picquery couldn't help but feel a little guilty and looked away.

She took a deep breath and then nodded to the Auror next to her.

Subsequently, the door was opened again.

Then, Grindelwald walked in... …

After seeing Grindelwald, almost everyone stood up from their seats and craned their necks to look at him.

Countless flashes of light also lit up at this moment. The reporters who had been squatting at the door began to take pictures.

Grindelwald was surrounded by a group of Aurors, enduring the flashing lights and everyone's gazes, and walked towards the judge's seat.

At this time, Grindelwald no longer had the disheveled appearance he had in the dungeon.

Now, he was wearing the well-fitting suit he had worn when he surrendered, and the scars on his face had disappeared.

Even his hair was combed meticulously.

If his hands weren't handcuffed... …he would have looked like he was attending a banquet.

Obviously, the methods that the Congress had imposed on him were not convenient to disclose.

Therefore, when he appeared in court, they had specially tidied him up.

He smiled and calmly walked towards the judge's seat, ignoring the wands pointed at him by the surrounding Aurors.

When Grindelwald walked onto the judge's seat, he finally saw Dumbledore in the front row.

Of course, he also saw Leif and Tom next to Dumbledore.

Leif and Tom's presence surprised him a little.

He stopped at the steps and looked at Leif with a meaningful smile.

Leif also winked at him.

Dumbledore frowned and vigilantly pulled Leif, who was standing aside, behind him.

After Grindelwald walked onto the judge's seat, the wizards sat down again.

“Gellert Grindelwald, you are charged with more than seventy counts of murder, kidnapping, intimidation, organizing illegal groups, etc....” President Picquery said.

Grindelwald smiled and said, “Fortunately, it's a little less than I expected.”

“It's not your turn to speak yet!” President Picquery said angrily.

Grindelwald shrugged with a smile when he heard this.

President Picquery became more and more uneasy.

Because Grindelwald was too calm!

He had been in this state ever since he was imprisoned.

Even when faced with the most severe punishments, he had not changed his expression... …

At this time, a buzzing sound of discussion rang out in the Great Hall.

Obviously, Grindelwald's calm appearance also surprised others.

“Silence!”

President Picquery took a deep breath, “Now, starting with the first murder case... …

Immediately afterwards, pieces of evidence were brought up.

Leif also saw the so-called court evidence of the wizarding world for the first time.

He discovered that in the wizarding world's court, the so-called evidence was some memories that could be released... …

It was like projecting a witness's memory for everyone to see.

Of course, these memories had been strictly tested to ensure that they would not be modified.

However, Leif was very sure that these memories had not been modified much.

Because there was no evidence in these memories that could directly accuse Grindelwald himself.

The people who committed the crimes in these memories were all Grindelwald's followers from the Wizengamot!

Since they could not be used as direct evidence to accuse Grindelwald, there was naturally no need to modify them.

If that's the case... …then the direct evidence that Picquery wanted to use to nail Grindelwald should fall on the human witnesses!

Indeed, the traces of modifying memory evidence were too obvious.

Wizards with a little experience could even see the clues during the projection process.

Human witnesses were the easiest to manipulate... …

The memories of people who had been modified could not be seen on the surface and required in-depth examination.

However, since it was clear that she wanted to frame Grindelwald, how could Picquery allow you to conduct an in-depth examination?

As the last memory projection ended, President Picquery stared at Grindelwald and asked, “Do you have anything to say?”

"I'm very sorry, President Picquery, very sorry, everyone, too many of my fanatical followers have misinterpreted my thoughts and propositions, leading to excessive behavior... This is indeed my fault... If I can clear my name of the unwarranted charges, I will definitely regulate my thoughts and propositions even more, for example... by publishing a book or something." Grindelwald's eyes swept over Levid as he said this.

Without a single mistake, a poem, a hair, an inner, a capacity, a presence, a glance!

And Levid also showed a hint of doubt just at the right moment.

As if Grindelwald's idea surprised him.

Tom rolled his eyes beside him, he was really used to Levid entering his acting mode at any time.

"Publish a book?" President Picquery's eyes widened.

It was predictable that Grindelwald would not plead guilty without direct evidence.

But he just said he wanted to publish a book? To regulate his own thoughts?

President Picquery's vigilance instantly rose to the highest level!

Absolutely! He must not be acquitted!

At the same time, the wizards who heard Grindelwald's words couldn't help but start discussing again.

Grindelwald publishing a book, this matter seems to be nothing at first glance.

However, in the eyes of far-sighted wizards, the purpose of this move is very obvious.

None of the wizards present today are stupid, so they can naturally see his intention.

And the most important thing is, since he has thought of such a long-term thing, doesn't that mean that he is really confident of getting away with the crime today?

"Silence!" President Picquery struck the gavel in her hand again.

After the people calmed down, President Picquery stared at Grindelwald and said, "So, you don't admit that these crimes have anything to do with you?"

"President Picquery, as the President of the Magical Congress of the United States, you must be an outstanding and excellent wizard, so there must be many people who are willing to follow you. If these people accidentally violate the law, shouldn't we punish them instead of punishing you?" Grindelwald smiled.

"Record it, Grindelwald refuses to plead guilty!" President Picquery said coldly.

Grindelwald did not argue, just smiled and looked at her.

"If you have any concrete evidence that can prove my guilt, please take it out as soon as possible."

"Of course I do!" President Picquery raised her head and looked towards the door, "Summon the witnesses!"

Everyone's eyes fell on that door again.

Everyone knew that whether Grindelwald could be convicted depended on these witnesses.

Originally, it was thought that this trial would last a long time, but now it seems...

It was because Grindelwald's confession had been cleaned up too cleanly!

All of this happened silently!

By the time everyone realized what he wanted to do, it was already too late!

Who would have known that a criminal who had just suffered a major defeat and then recuperated would choose to surrender directly?

As for the evidence of Grindelwald's crimes, everyone subconsciously thought that it was everywhere!

Therefore, no one would specifically protect these evidences.

This led to the fact that almost all of the available evidences have been quietly destroyed, and there are very few that can be used now...

At this time, the door was opened again.

A series of people walked in...

Everyone was surprised and started discussing again.

Originally, everyone thought that it would be amazing to find one or two witnesses.

But now... there are so many witnesses?

So many witnesses proving Grindelwald's guilt... then how can Grindelwald escape the crime?

To put it another way, even if these witnesses are all fake! Grindelwald's idea of escaping the crime today will fail!

Before, they couldn't find any evidence, and everyone was anxious.

But now, so many witnesses suddenly appeared! And direct witnesses!

Everyone guessed a possibility...

So many people! Isn't it obvious that they want to frame him directly?

Everyone looked at Grindelwald again.

Everyone wanted to know what Grindelwald would think in the face of the almost barbaric "framing" behavior of the Magical Congress of the United States.

However, to everyone's surprise, Grindelwald still looked indifferent, without any sign of panic.

"For the sake of fairness, all witnesses will testify after taking Veritaserum!" President Picquery said.

So, the Aurors were busy sending Veritaserum to those witnesses.

Just as everyone was busy, President Picquery walked down and came to Grindelwald's side as if inadvertently.

She whispered, "Did you think I didn't discover that traitor Abernathy? You must think... Abernathy has already modified the memories of these people, right? Then you must not know that all of Abernathy's actions have been seen by us! The memories of the witnesses have been restored by us... so, you are doomed today!"

Grindelwald smiled and said, "Is that so? So you found out about Abernathy... that's a pity."

"What do you mean?" Not seeing the panic on Grindelwald's face, President Picquery had a bad feeling again.

"It's nothing... I want to say, I'm looking forward to your evidence. As for Abernathy... may he live long." Grindelwald smiled elegantly.

President Picquery stared at Grindelwald tightly. At this moment, she suddenly remembered something.

Just when they were about to catch that traitor, Abernathy suddenly disappeared...

This is not a good sign!
