The Evil God of Hogwarts

As a Squib, it's no surprise that Frank knows about the wizarding world. But he dared to violate secret orders and make a deal with a Muggle, which is a bit interesting.

Although the Ministry of Magic cannot attack those big families, it is not a problem to punish a squib. Even if Frank can go in and out of various families, this does not mean that his status is so noble.

Frank doesn't know his identity, so there is only one reason. The information given by the old man is worth the risk.

"The man asked you what you got?" Ellie asked.

"In my years of investigation and research on those monsters, generally speaking I would call them sewer crocodiles."

"In fact, they are snake people. A race that established civilization as early as the birth of human beings." The eldest lady felt that it was time to give a little sweetness. Blind threats and questioning will only be counterproductive. The old man must be made to understand that she is here to cooperate.

"Ha, my eyes were really opened today." Scott showed a wry smile, "If you had come twenty years earlier, I wouldn't have to work so hard."

"Twenty years earlier, could you have given me what I want?"

Scott had nothing to say about this. He cleared his throat and began to talk about his investigation, "There are many underground waterways in Liverpool. They are so intricate that the recorded drawings alone are so thick."

The old man gestured with his hands and continued: "Those so-called snake men are probably hiding there. Finding them is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. I'm not saying this in a depressing way. This is a fact. Even if you know where those things are?" It’s impossible to send all the police in Liverpool to drill into the sewers, is it?”

Ellie frowned and thought for a moment and said: "Any wild beast will have a nest, and snakes are no exception. What's more, their intelligence is no less than that of humans, so they must have a gathering point."

"That's what I think." Scott agreed. He stood up and walked to the clue wall, took down the map of Liverpool and came back.

"Look," he said, "the red circle is the nursing home where accidents have occurred in recent years. I didn't know how to start at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that the snake people I saw that night seemed to be looking for something. .

"The room they entered was the archives room of the nursing home. It was filled with information about the admissions. I really can't figure out why they went there, unless they were looking for someone."

Find someone? Hearing this, Ellie suddenly thought of something, but she did not show too much surprise and continued to listen to Scott's story.

"So I thought these damn ugly things might be looking for someone who lives in a nursing home. So I spent a lot of energy and time collecting these. Nursing homes in urban areas, natural forests, and sunsets. These nursing homes were all opened because of accidents. Closed. Just wait..."

Scott handed the map to Ellie, and he started looking around. It didn't take long for him to see what he wanted, and then walked over quickly.

The small safe was buried under the scattered "World's Unsolved Mysteries" magazine, with only a corner exposed, making it difficult for ordinary people to find it. The old man skillfully moved the magazines aside, then knelt down and opened the safe door.

A stack of documents tied with rope was taken out, Scott patted the dust on his head and returned to the kitchen again. He placed the document on the small dining table and motioned for Ellie to come over and take a look.

The eldest lady was still studying the map, so when she saw this, she walked to the dining table. She saw the old man untying the rope and laying out the documents one by one like treasures.

"These are the information from various nursing homes that I investigated."

"You gave these to Frank too?"

Scott chuckled and said: "Of course not, I only gave part of it. My half-life of marketing is not in vain. His little thing is only worth so much."

The corners of Ai Li's lips curled up slightly and she questioned, "I don't have any chips with me."

"You are a wizard, that is enough." Scott said, "Besides, I am over seventy years old, what is the use of keeping these things? I will never be able to find out the answer in my lifetime. "

"So pessimistic, sir. What is the time span of the information you investigated?"

"From the Twenties to the Present Day."

Ellie quickly browsed the documents on the table, and soon targeted the nursing home tomorrow, the 1972 nursing home food poisoning incident.

She then continued to move her gaze, but only found an elder abuse case from the Natural Forest Nursing Home in 1985.

"That much?"

"That's all." The old man replied, "The others are complaints, fights, financial disputes, etc. If you include those, this map will be full."

"Hmm~ I didn't know there were so many nursing homes in Liverpool."

"This is a big city, but some nursing homes were formerly homeless shelters and became nursing homes after receiving investment. After all, no one wants to send their parents to a shelter."

"So after changing the name and decorating it, people are willing to send their relatives there? This is really interesting."

"I don't know how you treat the elderly there." Scott said helplessly, "But here, if a person becomes a burden to others, he will be sent to that place. If he becomes a burden to society, , then he can only disappear."

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, until Ellie asked aloud: "In 1955, there was a fire in an asylum center near George Wharf. Have you ever gone to find out about it?"

"Of course, but that information was borrowed by Frank."

"Do you still have a backup?"

"No need." Scott nodded, "I remember it clearly. The shelter then moved to downtown. I visited several reporters who reported on it, and the information they gave was that there was a fire. The dot is a trash can in the archives.”

"Ha, it's the archives again. Maybe, as you said, they are indeed looking for someone. The most recent nursing home accident occurred in 1985. Does this mean they have found the person they are looking for?"

Ellie's inference made the old man take a long breath, and he replied: "I think so too, do you know what this means?"

"The clues that represent the nursing home are broken. They may have been hiding in the sewer and not coming out. But old man, the crocodile is not a fish. Even if it can hold its breath, it still needs to surface to breathe."

A flash of surprise flashed across Scott's face, and he smiled and said, "You're keeping up with me, Ms. Nix."

"Then let's talk about the really useful things." Ellie took out her pocket watch again and looked at the time. The hour hand reached exactly eight o'clock. "I can spend the time I spent going to the newspaper office on you."
