Chapter 371 2 Irrelevant

Sherlock looked at Scrimgeour, and the other party was also looking at him.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he had no aversion or prejudice against the new Minister of Magic who replaced Fudge.

This wizard was more than a little stronger than Fudge in terms of ability and determination to fight Voldemort.

He did not give an answer immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he looked up and looked at Scrimgeour.

"Although this question is a bit abrupt, can I understand, Mr. Minister, your subsequent plans for the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters?"

Of course, Scrimgeour would not tell Sherlock, an outsider who did not hold a "single position" in the Ministry of Magic, about the specific actions, but he had no intention of keeping the general strategy secret.

"Today's trial is a signal." Scrimgeour looked at Sherlock solemnly, "Next, we will start to take action against those wizards who have a record of leaning towards You-Know-Who. Those who have been arrested have secretly confessed many of their accomplices in private. We will follow this list."

"Those who can find actual evidence will be arrested directly, and those who have no evidence will be followed and observed by Aurors to ensure that before You-Know-Who takes the next step, his power is further eliminated."

Sherlock stared at Scrimgeour's eyes.

"What about Voldemort? What are your plans against him?"

This time he did not call out the title of You-Know-Who, but directly said the name that is taboo in the magic world.

Even as tough as Scrimgeour, his face turned pale after hearing this name.

But at least he did not tremble, which is stronger than most wizards in the magic world.

"By then, he will be a commander without troops. When he is alone, it will undoubtedly be much easier to deal with."

Sherlock looked at him deeply and shook his head.

"You are afraid of him, but you underestimate him. The danger to the wizarding world is never the Death Eaters. There will always be speculators and criminals in every era. The key to the problem is Voldemort, a madman whose threat level far exceeds that of almost all dark wizards in history."

"Even if you arrest all his men, Voldemort will still be Voldemort, and only when Voldemort is truly dead, the so-called Death Eaters will fall apart."

The Minister's office fell into silence, with only Scrimgeour's breathing, which was obviously much heavier than before.

After a long time, Sherlock spoke again.

"I actually know that you have no other choice but to target the Death Eaters, because the entire Ministry of Magic knows nothing about Voldemort. Even you, the Minister, will be afraid when you hear this title that is not even his real name, let alone others."

"If you do what you said and deal with the Death Eaters first, can you ensure that there are no undercovers in the Ministry of Magic now? Even a director-level official like Bagman can be turned against, and even Karkaroff, who committed such a serious betrayal, can be re-employed. Do you dare to say that everyone in the Ministry of Magic is trustworthy?"

"And confidentiality is the most basic prerequisite for all decisions to directly confront Voldemort. If you can't even do this, let alone find a way to defeat Voldemort."

Sherlock's tone became more serious at this point.

"So, Minister Scrimgeour, if you really want to defeat Voldemort and help the magic world survive this crisis, the best way is not to interfere with any actions of the Order of the Phoenix."

Gu Yan

"The Ministry of Magic's primary goal is to eliminate the Death Eaters, and our only goal is one person. The core goals of the two parties are the same, but the tasks are divided into two steps. The best situation now is that the Ministry of Magic belongs to the Ministry of Magic, and the Order of the Phoenix belongs to the Order of the Phoenix. Both parties do their own things seriously and do not interfere with each other."

"It is precisely for this reason that I have never agreed to your appointment to the Ministry of Magic. Your focus should not be on the influence of me or Harry, but on stabilizing the situation in the British magic world as soon as possible and minimizing the chain reaction caused by the next conflict with Voldemort."

After saying all the words, Sherlock stood up directly from the chair.

He never thought that Scrimgeour was a bad person or an obstacle on the road to defeating Voldemort. It was just that the two parties had different views that led to internal disputes.

Sherlock could only make his words so clear at this opportunity, and then he could only see what Scrimgeour himself thought.

"I have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's award ceremony. Sorry, I have to leave first, Mr. Minister."

He walked to the door. Scrimgeour seemed to be still immersed in thought and did not say anything.

Afterwards, Sherlock left the Ministry of Magic and returned home.

It was not too late for him to go home. There were more than ten court sessions today. As an important witness, he stayed in the Ministry of Magic almost all day. In addition, after talking with Scrimgeour, it was already dinner time when he got home.

Since Silk's cooking skills have improved greatly, she has basically been studying those recipes at home every day.

The long time together also made her realize that Sherlock had a special love for Chinese food, so she bought a special "Encyclopedia of Chinese Cuisine". Usually when Sherlock was not at home, she would make it herself and taste it for herself. Now she is quite good at it.

Just like today's dinner is tomato and egg noodles.

The noodles were cut by Silk with magic, and the taste is very chewy.

"Before tomorrow's award ceremony, you should go out with me first."

Sherlock slurped the noodles and said.

Silk didn't eat. She usually eats very little at night, just some fruit tonight.

"What are you going to do?" she asked puzzledly.

"To cure your eyes." Sherlock said casually, "I found a connection in the Ministry of Magic and met a former Time Hall Silencer, an old witch with a bit of a weird temper. She should be able to give some advice on your eyes."

Because he didn't want Silk to have more hope now, and more disappointment later, Sherlock didn't say for sure that Mrs. Matthew would definitely cure her eyes.

Hearing his words, Silk was stunned.

Her golden eyes hidden under the black ribbon stared at Sherlock in a daze. After a long time, she suddenly smiled.

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow."

"There will be an award ceremony later, so we can go directly to the ceremony site at that time."
