Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 183 The Horcrux in the Vault

The person was eventually lost.

It is strange that in the Ministry of Magic, the headquarters of the Aurors, without the authority to disapparate or any other exit, the two Lestrange brothers actually disappeared from everyone's sight.

When the pursuing Auror returned to life, at the scene of the incident, Sherlock and the others were also describing the incident to the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic.

"...We couldn't save Algie. They seemed to be very familiar with the route in the Ministry of Magic, and we couldn't stop them from leaving. We could only use the explosion spell to make a big noise and attract other people. come over."

It was said that Sherlock would tell Minkan, but in fact it was Scrimgeour who really understood the incident. After all, he was a professional Auror.

"You said Rodolphus took on Eddie's form and wanted to frame him?"

His question, the two Aurors who were knocked unconscious at the beginning could prove that before they were knocked down, Rodolphus deliberately showed his face for them to see.

Scrimgeour's face looked thoughtful.

"It makes sense to pretend to be Eddie. They know that Eddie's people all died because of Algie's betrayal, so he has a big motive."

In fact, many people present knew that this was not a big motive at all, but that Eddie himself had already done this.

It's just that they deliberately didn't ask why Sherlock and Eddie appeared here in the middle of the night.

The person is already dead, and it was not Eddie who killed him, so there is no need to delve too deeply into some things. Whether it is Scrimgeour, Crouch or Minkan, they are all veterans.

Knowing that clarifying these things now will not help the development of the matter at all, there is no need to hold Eddie and Sherlock accountable knowingly.

Minkan's face was still gloomy.

"The key to the question now is why they wanted to kill Algie? The key to the question is that the defense of the Ministry of Magic is ineffective! Now I want to know how they got in and how they got out!"

Investigating these matters naturally takes time.

As the only magical political institution in the entire UK, the Ministry of Magic's defense is actually very weak.

In addition to the restrictions of Apparition, entry is also possible through certain door keys left outside for temporary use, and through the Floo network of some offices.

There is no way to seal these entrances. If they are sealed, the daily work of the entire Ministry of Magic will be semi-paralyzed, and government affairs will not be handled at all.

So Scrimgeour now has a heavy workload. He first has to check all the fireplaces in the Ministry of Magic that are connected to the Floo network, and whether the door keys hidden in the outside world have been used.

At the end Eddie opened his mouth and wanted to tell what they heard about the conversation between the Lestrange brothers and Algie, but was stopped by Sherlock pulling his sleeves and shaking his head imperceptibly.

After the rest of the night passed and Sherlock and Eddie had finished taking all the notes at the Auror Headquarters, they left the Ministry of Magic.

The two looked at each other and arrived at a bar on the street above the Ministry of Magic together without knowing anything.

"Why don't you let me tell you that?" Eddie asked puzzledly.

Sherlock narrowed his eyes and asked.

"How did Rodolphus transform into you?"

Eddie said hesitantly.

"That kind of transformation should be the effect of Polyjuice Potion."

"That's right, Polyjuice Potion. If the Death Eaters knew that you had a grudge against Algie so they pretended to be you, and it can be explained by the incident in Wales, then one of the ingredients of Polyjuice Potion, your body hair, they How did you get it?"

Sherlock's words stopped Eddie.

After his charges were cleared and he returned to the Ministry of Magic, he stayed in the Auror dormitory of the Ministry of Magic. He never returned home once, and only his colleagues were the only people around him.

In this case, how did the Death Eaters get his body hair?

Sherlock continued.

"And no matter how lax the Ministry of Magic's guards are, if it were really so easy for the Death Eaters to get in, they wouldn't choose to engage in these petty thefts until now. They have already targeted this place countless times. Isn’t that more rewarding than doing things outside?”

Eddie quickly understood what Sherlock was trying to express.

"You mean...they still have undercover agents in the ministry?"

"Not only is there an undercover agent, but his status must be high. Otherwise, the Dark Lord would not have his hands tied like this. The last time Algi was exposed was probably just a smoke bomb. His loyalty to the Dark Lord is not that firm. The Dark Lord himself I must know it too. And the truly loyal undercover agent who will be of great use in the future is still lurking in the Ministry of Magic!"

Sherlock looked at him solemnly.

"Those words Rodolphus said, the secret he wanted to hide, only we know, and maybe we can do something with it. But if we say it out, it means that both the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters know it. Besides, even if it is said out, , can the Ministry of Magic ask Gringotts to inspect the Lestrange family's family treasury?"

Eddie was silent.

This is of course impossible.

If possible, there was no need to wait until now. The family treasury of all pure-blood families who openly turned to the Death Eaters would have been sealed long ago.

The reason why there cannot be such resistance is not because of the goblins guarding Gringotts, but because it is impossible to pass such a motion within the Ministry of Magic.

The reason Sherlock knows this is because even after 17 years, and those Death Eaters have been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, their family vault in Gringotts has still not been seized.

This is basically equivalent to the rules established within the wizard.

No matter how serious the crime is, the ownership of Gringotts' vault still belongs to the wizard himself, and no one has the right to touch it (for example, Sirius, the Firebolt he gave Harry when he was a fugitive, was the one who found a way to get the Firebolt from the Black family by himself) Purchased with money from the treasury).

In addition to these reasons for Eddie to keep this matter secret, there is also Sherlock's own selfishness.

Although he couldn't remember much of the original content, he learned a lot about the inside story after coming to this world.

According to Rodolphus, the cup Voldemort asked Bella to hide in the Gringotts family vault was most likely a Horcrux!

Of course, Bella and the rest of the Lestrange family definitely didn't know about the existence of Horcruxes. They could only know that what Voldemort gave them was a very important thing.

Horcruxes are not only the only way to defeat Voldemort, but they are also the best tonic for Sherlock, the kind that can increase his power for fifty years.

By concealing the information, they also hoped that after the Lestrange brothers found out that the secret had not been spread, they would not tell Voldemort about it and move the cup that was suspected of being a Horcrux.

After all, if Voldemort knew about this, and they caused such a big commotion tonight, the two Lestrange brothers would be peeled off even if they didn't die.

...

Still in that dark manor.

On the single sofa, his face looked abnormally pale, and the handsome wizard gently picked up the wine glass in his hand.

"Ha! Rodolphus, Rabastan, my right-hand man!"

His faint sarcasm echoed in the living room. The two Lestrange brothers, who were tied with ropes and dropped on the roof, had no injuries on their bodies, but they still looked like they had experienced great pain.

Sweat dripped from their bodies and gathered into a small puddle on the floor. Standing next to them was Bella, who had just punished them on behalf of the wizard.

As Rodolphus's wife and Rabastan's sister-in-law, she had no intention of interceding with the wizard at this time.

Even the disgust and disgust in his eyes were not concealed at all.

"We...we...didn't expect that the wizard named Butler...he would actually choose to kill Taft tonight... Rodolphus begged, "Forgive us...Master...please..."

Bella cursed sharply.

"You two losers! Let me be ashamed in front of the master!"

The wizard slowly shook the scarlet liquid in the wine glass. He didn't seem very angry, but no one would think that he could relax like this.

The more they spent time with this master, the more they discovered that his temper was becoming increasingly moody.

At this time, the cold fireplace beside the wall of the living room suddenly jumped with a few sparks, and then the dark green flame suddenly rose, forming a young and thin face in the fireplace.

"Forgive me for being rude, Master. It is not convenient for me to leave the Ministry of Magic right now. I can only communicate with you through Floo powder."

Seeing the face of the young man in the fireplace, the two Lestrange brothers held their breath at the same time. They looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw the tension that almost overflowed from their eyes. .

The wizard stopped shaking the glass in his hand.

"Tell me, what did these two losers reveal?"

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, Scrimgeour clearly began to suspect that there were undercover agents in the ministry who had not been found out. He checked the fireplaces in all offices and the door keys stranded outside, and found nothing unusual. I have not been suspected, not yet. risk of exposure.”

The young man's face formed by the flame said respectfully.

"only these?"

"Yes, I am looking for the owner of Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. This is the only information I have received so far."

Hearing what he said, the two Lestrange brothers were completely relieved of their worries.

They were indeed betting that Eddie and Sherlock either didn't understand what they were talking to Algie, or that they understood and didn't spread the word.

Otherwise, even if they take the initiative to admit it, they will definitely die!

The two brothers knew how much Voldemort valued that cup, and they would never let them go even if the news was leaked!

From now on, their gambling luck is pretty good, and their lives are at least saved.

"Hurry up and complete the task I gave you." The wizard said coldly, "I don't want to delay it any longer. The things in that room must be obtained as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Lord Dark Lord!"

Green flames danced in the fireplace, and the young face disappeared.
