v4 Chapter 28: Lion's Heart

The next day, Sunday morning.

Schelling received two letters from Owl.

The first letter is a thank-you letter from Slahhorn. The letter stated that his beloved disciple Gwenog has been acquitted. At the same time, I also attached two VIP seats for the Liheid Hobby team. According to him, Gwenogotto passed them on, in return for thanking Lin for his help.

The second letter is from Scolinger. The letter is very long, and the handwriting is messy, obviously he wrote very hastily.

After receiving the clues from Schelling yesterday, Scolinger hurriedly summoned the troops and set off, and successfully found the place where Griffith was imprisoned, but the opponent seemed to have received the wind in advance, and had already moved before the Aurors arrived. Up. Being able to do this shows that the other party is not easy. If it is just ordinary fans who want to punish Griffith to vent their anger just because of Griffith's betrayal, or ordinary kidnappers who just want money, they don't have this ability. Foresee the actions of the Ministry of Magic.

Scolinger has realized that the water behind this incident is deep, and there must be an internal ghost inside the Auror that he is subordinate to. As a result, he began to no longer believe in his subordinates. This time he planned to bring his confidant, Gadevin Robards, to Hogwarts alone tonight. He had already proposed to Dumbledore in advance. To apply, I want to meet Schelling to discuss this aspect.

Scolinger’s arrival to inform Schelling was a bit surprised. He thought that after giving the clues to Scolinger yesterday, he would have nothing to do with him. Unexpectedly, such a seemingly insignificant player missing case could involve so many follow-ups. Come, it seems that the British wizarding world is hidden in the dark under the water and there are still many corners that he has not touched!

Slylinger’s origin is not difficult to guess, he just wanted to ask where his clues came from, and see if he could find more clues.

However, Professor Trelawney is one of the trump cards in her hand, and her divination ability must not be exposed at will.

Schelling pondered for a while, and then figured out how to respond.

The meeting between Schelling and Scolinger took place in an empty classroom that had been requested from Dumbledore. There are only two of them in the classroom, and Gardvin Robaz is responsible for letting out the air at the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"Uncle Scolinger, I suspect that there is a ghost in your Auror, and someone is betraying information." Schelling pointed out the reason for the failure of the last operation.

Scolinger snorted coldly, "This time it’s my carelessness. I have always known that some of my staff are restless. They and people outside have some deals that can’t make it to the table, but as long as they don’t It hurts the daily work of the Auror's office, and I just let it go, but I didn't expect their courage to gain weight because of it."

He then solemnly said: "The problem is, I didn't think this task was so complicated at the beginning. I thought it was because the fans were unwilling to make trouble. At most, I took the opportunity to ask for a ransom, so I didn't get too alert for intelligence. Confidentiality, this is indeed my mistake. Now, Xie Lin, you must help me. Because of the attention of the masses and the media, the above pressure has put a lot of pressure on me. I have to solve this case."

"What I am more curious about," Schelling said, "if you can't get any clues from me, what are you going to do?"

Although Schelling raised the question, he already had the answer in his mind—what could happen to this group of bureaucratic Ministry of Magic? It was nothing more than catching a dead ghost.

Scolinger’s eyes flashed with brilliance, he naturally understood what Schelling meant, but he had a bottom line in his life-it’s okay to find a scapegoat, but if he didn’t even try to do it, he felt sorry. When he was young, he worked hard to become an Auror with ambitions.

He slowly said, "What you mean by this is..."

"Don't get me wrong, Uncle Scolinger." Schelling smiled, "Of course I will help you, and I am able to help you. However, I want to remind you that your Auror troops really need to be reorganized— —My information is also limited, and if I help you in this way, I will undoubtedly make enemies for myself, and will put my informants in danger, and will not get any benefits..."

"Don't worry, Schelling," Scolinger gritted his teeth, as if he had made a difficult decision. "Uncle will definitely rectify this ineffective class this time. As long as you are willing to help uncle, uncle will never forget Your good!"

Xie Lin waited for this sentence.

"Okay, then-uncle, let's get out of here first. Hogwarts can't Apparate. You have to bring me on this mission. The two of us plus Robaz should be enough."

The three of them left the Hogwarts gate, cast an apparition and left.

Diagon Alley, the three-way intersection in front of Gringa.

The three people dressed up as three men in black with simple disguise magic, and stepped into Knock Down Alley.

(Note: Disguise magic is not human body transformation, but to dress and hide yourself with magic to make yourself unobtrusive. Can pass easily)

Why did you choose to come here?

This is because Schelling guessed that the Auror came to the door. The two kidnappers who kidnapped Griffith are probably panicked now, and they will definitely need to discuss the next plan. And to discuss this plan, it is inevitable to mention Griffith's name, so - yes, Schelling cast a forbidden spell on the name of "Vilda Griffith"!

Schelling used the induction of the Forbidden Word Curse to lead the way, and quickly passed the storefront of the Bojinbok shop, through the deep alley after another, and finally came to a very inconspicuous dead end.

Xie Lin whispered: "You two, this is it."

Scolinger and Robaz glanced at each other, their faces became very solemn.

"Schelling, this matter is probably more troublesome than we thought..." Scolinger said.

"What do you mean?" Schelling's mentality is okay. To be honest, after knowing the "Ghost Society" and the "Knights of Walpurgis" behind it, then he learned about the "Shadow of the Devil Dragon". He felt that there was nothing to scare him anymore.

"Behind this alley is the famous Black Crime Square. You can enter by hitting certain bricks, just like the wall of the Broken Cauldron Bar," Robards explained to Schelling, "The current problem It's not how to get in, but..."

Scolinger frowned, "I am afraid that there is a lot behind the Black Crime Square, and it is closely related to some high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic. For so many years, Auror's application for sweeping this place has not been approved..."

Schelling's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said coldly: "Uncle, just say it straight-the so-called high-level people refer to Yaxley, Selwyn, and Dolphin!"

Scolinger was a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, "You help uncle, uncle doesn't want to hide from you, it is indeed them, and the Lestrange family was also involved before, but you also know that After the recent incident, there is almost no difference between Lestrange and Annihilation."

A smile appeared on Schelling’s mouth, "Then—Uncle, what are you going to do now?"

Scolinger is in a dilemma. If he does not continue the investigation, then he is negligent. The media and the masses will criticize and criticize his inaction; if the investigation continues, then he will be pushed into the storm and make countless enemies. I am afraid that in the future Life will be very difficult...

"Rufus, I see--" Robaz's expression was also very ugly, he leaned close to Scolinger's side and whispered: "Forget it. Let's follow the usual routine and find someone who doesn't have long eyes. Little thief, beat him into a trick, let him bear the entire crime, and then declare that Griffith is missing. Although it is still unavoidable to be blamed for incompetence, at least the criminal has been caught, and they can't say anything... …"

"We can't really force it in, right?" Robards said, "The last Auror supervisor who did this was inexplicably dismissed within a week, and the family was suddenly robbed within a year, and all the family members did not know where to take the risk. The black wizard who came out was killed, and he made a good person so angry that he went directly to St. Mungo’s Hospital..."

The two were silent for almost ten minutes. Finally, Scolinger said with difficulty: "Let's go!"

At this time, Schelling spoke. His shining eyes were both mocking and indestructible, "Uncle, since you have made a decision, then I won't stop you. You go first! I Decided to stay here-even if you don’t say anything, I guessed Griffith’s fate. I’m a man. I can’t stand by and watch her misfortune, especially when I know she still has a chance to be saved. under--"

Schelling’s tone is solemn and sacred, and one can clearly feel the determination in his heart that cannot be changed by anything. “I don’t want to hear her crying every night in his dreams. Face the blame of conscience!"

"Schellingyou!" Scolinger didn't expect Schelling to say that. He was very optimistic about this young man, and Dumbledore knew that Schelling followed him out to do things, if something happened to Schelling It's not something that can be solved by catching a dead ghost to commit the crime.

"Uncle, I have decided. You don't need to say more." Xie Lin's voice suddenly became cold. "I won't hurt you. I am going to fix the book and give it to my family now, to separate this matter from your relationship. This way my family won’t bother you—"

"However, I have to say," Schelling's voice became extremely soft, as if he was muttering to himself, "I'm so disappointed! I thought that the Auror is a figure who maintains the stability of the wizarding world, and is a steadfast commoner. Shields are heroes! Do you still live up to your own conscience and the expectations of the people?"

After finishing speaking, Xie Lin didn't wait for them to answer. He took out a small piece of paper and lighted it with his magic wand. The small piece of paper immediately turned into a small paper sparrow, flashing its wings, and flew away.

Xie Lin waved his hand coolly, walked to the dead end wall, and carefully studied the abnormality of the bricks on the wall.

Just as Xie Lin stretched out his hand to touch a brick, a magic wand suddenly protruded from his side and quickly knocked on a few bricks, and the wall separated to the left and right.

Scolinger's face was green, obviously because he was very angry, but at the same time, his eyes rekindled like a lion-like ambition.

"I was despised by you, Schelling," Scolinger said softly, "I will let you see now how Uncle became an Auror!" After he finished speaking, he led the somewhat reluctant Robaz. Stride forward.

Xie Lin, who stood behind them, curled his lips slightly, showing a smile like a fox.
