Chapter 29 The Greedy Wizard (Thanks to Tian Hui for the reward, add...an extra chapter, please forgive me)
Mr.R noticed something strange about Xing Ze, but he did not think that the Oriental people were frightened by the sudden projection.
He liked to see those unsophisticated wizards being shocked. That more or less satisfied his frustration of not being able to use the Legilimency spell casually.
"He believed that I knew those four people and could at least identify them."
Xing Ze remained silent. He speculated in his mind why Swamp got involved in that matter. According to the original novel and the movie, he had always been cautious.
"He just took it as my acquiescence." Mr. R, who couldn't get an answer, said something else. "In addition to monitoring Dumbledore and Hogwarts, they are also responsible for investigating abnormal events..."
"Abnormal event?" Xing Ze repeated doubtfully.
"No, the attack on the express train was an unusual incident."
Xing Ze frowned. He seemed to have no intention of explaining any abnormal events. He boldly speculated: "Is it because he is a monster?"
"Ah, I'm very smart." Mr. R's tone became serious, "But being too smart is not a good thing. Don't make assumptions, Xing Ze, my authority is very limited, so it's best to be careful in what you say and do. "He deliberately emphasized the first few words.
Xing Ze nodded obediently.
Mr.R continued: “They want me to investigate the unusual incident.
"Him? Then who is going to spy on Dumbledore and Hogwarts?"
"The two are not in conflict."
Xing Ze Zhiqi asked with a troubled look: "Then...you should tell him where to start the investigation, right?"
"Of course, then they went east to negotiate." Mr. R pointed at Dunn Eric with his wand, "Intelligence shows that the potion merchant has hidden an extremely dangerous item."
While shutting up, the light of the crystal twisted, and a new three-dimensional projection appeared on Dunn Eric's legs. There was a red fragment, as big as the palm of a leg, and I couldn't tell what material it was made of.
"The attack on the train is related to that piece of debris?"
"Is that exactly what I requested to investigate?"
"He guessed we didn't find any fragments of Dunn Eric's body."
Mr.R shrugged his shoulders, as if I had guessed wrong.
Things just don't make sense. If the attackers came with the debris, they could have just taken it and left. Why go to such trouble to attack the train?
What's more, that madman Cecil kept calling Han Xuan some great beings, sacrifices, etc.
Xing Ze gave up reasoning for the time being, and turned his gaze to the projection of Colm Cecil, "Who killed Cecil?"
Mr.R shook his head and said: "The Aurors used tracking spells on the place where he died, but found nothing. Someone used magic to erase the traces.ɱ"
"Where are the four passengers and the train staff?"
"According to the latest news, the surviving train staff are all ruled out of suspicion, and the same goes for Bowman List." The crystal light distorted again, and the image of Bowman List gradually disappeared.
"They questioned those students and ruled him out as a suspect. As for the four passengers, their whereabouts are unknown now. But they can confirm the identity of one of them, Reko Albin. He comes from the Albin family and has a prominent reputation. 's big family.”
Xing Ze thought of the chattering blond poet, but did not expect that he had such a strong backing. According to memory, although the Albin family is not among the twenty-eight sacred clans, their status in the wizarding world has always been high.
Members of the Albin family can be seen in both business and political circles, although they rarely appear in the public eye. There are rumors that they are descendants of Kenneth Albin, the founding monarch of Scotland. That is not the case. It has never been confirmed.
"They also sent people to the Albin Manor. The locals refused to admit that the madman Reko belonged to their family. To prove that they were not lying, Mr. Albin very politely used his magic wand to kill their man. Please come out."
"So..." Xing Ze couldn't laugh or cry, "So far, we have no clues."
"Not us, his friends, not them. Please know that I am also one of them." Mr. R corrected.
‘There should be some progress. "
"There is a clue." Mr. R turned his attention to the fourth person, "Severus Snape, or he helped Eric escape from the Aurors from Wrong Angle Alley."
"Are they acquaintances?"
"It's not too familiar. Eric will regularly provide potion ingredients to Swaipe, and also purchase some potions for sale."
"As far as he knew, Mr. Sweep was a warm-hearted man."
Mr.R did not reply.
Xing Zeming came over and sighed: "Is that also outside the scope of his investigation?"
"As he said before, my friend, there is no conflict between those two things."
Xing Ze's mind was spinning quickly, and he blurted out: "Since Severus Snape is suspected, then Dumbledore is also..."
"Shh--" Mr. R made a shushing gesture, "Be careful with your words and actions, friend. There are some things that you don't need to say clearly."
"That's him and me right there."
"You can't say for sure." Mr. R Sidong looked at it, "It's always right to be careful. They arranged a helper for me. His name is John, codenamed J. I can look for him when I go to Knockturn Alley to investigate. He will help."
"Knockturn Alley?"
"No, Knockturn Alley, two Aurors who were following Severus Snape disappeared there, one of them is the Golden Sun. He suggested that I go there."
The Golden Sun is another name for senior Aurors. Aurors are given the symbol of light and justice. Their original symbol is the torch, the symbol of the goddess of dawn Aurora. But after Hardridge Diggory proposed the Auror recruitment plan, it was changed to the sun.
"He knows." Xing Ze nodded. He felt that it was time to give himself a push. "But he needs money. He believes that gold Galleons are more useful than Auror badges in Knockturn Alley."
Mr. R showed contempt. The Oriental man always talked about money. "He will give me 200 Galleons."
Xing Ze shook his head dissatisfiedly. "No, that's too little."
"That's all."
"Are you sure, sir? He saved a trainload of children. We should give him some reward."
Mr. R's first glimmer of goodwill towards the stranger was also worn out. He was secretly happy because he didn't make a mistake.
The Oriental man was not a kind and upright person at all, let alone a hero. He was just like those lowly wizards. If he was not a greedy and stupid clown, then that was his true face hidden behind the thick armor.
Mr. R got more and more excited the more he thought about it, and even added a little more wine to his glass. It was easy for him to control a fool like that.
"Then 500 Galleons, that's the limit he can give me."
"Deal." Xing Ze readily agreed to Dong Lai, with greed clearly revealed on his face.
