The Evil God of Hogwarts

Chapter 37 Investigation Begins

The opening ceremony lasted for three hours. In addition to Dumbledore's speech, Ellie Shafiq paid tribute to the victims of the train. Only then did Xing Ze know that the policeman on the train, Park Shafiq, was her cousin.

Fortunately, Dumbledore's announcement deleted many details about Xing Ze, which made him relieved.

The Sorting Hat Ceremony that followed was not much different from the original plot. During this period, Xing Ze focused most of his attention on Quirrell.

He was considering whether to remind Dumbledore and Harry, but thought that no matter what, in the first year, Voldemort's plan to steal the Sorcerer's Stone had almost no chance of success, so he gave up that plan. Knockturn Alley is what he should be worried about most right now.

After the opening ceremony, Xing Ze found an opportunity to talk to Professor Sweep alone.

The latter was a little dissatisfied with the new teacher who dared to stand in his way, but he could not help but deal with it patiently: "My affairs should be worth his time."

"Dunn Eric."

"Be careful, young man." Snape's gloomy face changed a little, "There are no students there."

"They can talk to him alone some other time, but before he goes to Knockturn Alley, he wants to know about those two Aurors."

"Why ask him?"

"They disappeared in Knockturn Alley, right after following me."

"He didn't think it was okay."

"Isn't that true, Professor Snape?" Xing Ze lowered his head to avoid a few students rushing past.

Si Waipu pondered for a moment, then he gestured toward a corner beside the aisle, and Xing Ze understood.

When the two came to the corner, Professor Snape still said in a cold tone: "He led them to the old Avery house, and he got off his body there."

"That doesn't explain why they disappeared." Xing Ze was still confused.

"He thinks it's very clear, young man." His voice became deeper, like a whisper, but Xing Ze still heard his every word clearly, "The Avery family doesn't like outsiders entering their territory. And, whether they were Death Eaters, as of now..."

"I lured two Aurors to Death Eater territory?"

Si Waipu's dark eyes glanced at Xing Ze, a look that was cold, empty, and devoid of any emotion.

"Did anyone tell me not to interrupt them? Be very attentive, young man. He just said whether the Everly family was a Death Eater without trying to misinterpret his meaning. Very..."

Snapped for a moment, waiting for a teacher to pass by and then continued: "Although the Avery family doesn't like outsiders entering their territory, they are not very powerful... no, they are not stupid enough to hurt two Aurors. , not to mention the fact that there is no Jinyang."

"So I don't think the Everly family had anything to do with their disappearance?"

"I'm not hopelessly stupid, young man." Snape said sarcastically. "Let him remind me again that the Avery family is very powerful in Knockturn Alley, and besides... they are not welcome. A foreigner like me.”

Xing Ze didn't completely believe what Snape said. Although the gloomy wizard kept his mouth shut and liked to be sarcastic, he could tell whether Snape was reminding him of something.

He did not stay to enjoy the feast, so he asked the house elf for a few pieces of bread, and then rushed to the village of Novi Ravenska without stopping. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×

The "Key to the Door" given by the Key Hall is more like a piece of wisdom that can show prosperity. It can not only check external information, but also locate external personnel. Because his current authority is not high, he can browse very little information.

According to the book, the wizard code-named J is located at the junction of Knockturn Alley and Wrong Corner Alley. Before launching an investigation, Xing Ze plans to meet him first.

He did not venture into Knockturn Alley, a notorious and self-contained place where outsiders had little opportunity to linger and investigate.

So he first went to Gringotts to withdraw some money, and then went to Partridge's Crucible shop to buy a few bottles of useful potions. Yes, if it only sold cauldrons, the shop would have closed down long ago.

He put the things in order and then looked for them based on the address shown in "The Key to the Door". This is a second-hand shop located on the corner, with an old warehouse. The owner is a fat middle-aged man.

"Did you say big dog J?" the owner said vaguely. He was missing a front tooth and kept his mouth closed.

"He wants to be, J, John, Big Dog, whatever his name is, a wizard."

"Go to the back warehouse and take a look. He often sleeps there."

Xing Ze frowned, it was almost 1 o'clock now, "Do you want to take a lunch break?" He asked again uncertainly.

"It's not lunch break." The shopkeeper scratched his bald head, "It's just sleeping. He would come here when he was drunk, just like a dog. Sometimes he would lie outside the door, and sometimes he would be inside. By the way, would you like some water, sir?"

"Thanks, he's not thirsty."

"It's not for you, it's for him."

When he saw John, Xing Ze understood the reason why the owner of the red shop asked for water.

The sloppy wizard was lying in a wheeled cart having a sweet dream, like a pig lying in a pen, and the smell of alcohol in his body could almost make a cow drunk.

"Are you sure you don't want water?" The shop owner made a gesture of splashing water. "Normal methods can't wake him up, but water can. He tried it."

"Give him a bucket."

Although the shop owner was a squib, he was definitely not a fool. He exchanged Xing Ze's eight kats for a bucket of ordinary water. He originally wanted to ask for more.

"Knockturn Alley." Xing Ze cursed in a low voice and poured half a bucket of water on John. The latter screamed and jumped up like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

He knocked the leg cart without wheels to the ground, danced comically like a clown, and then fell to the ground.

"Good afternoon, John, oh, no, J." Xing Ze was walking in a dilapidated wooden box, looking at the drunkard who was swearing jokingly.

He is tall and thin, with small eyes and a beard. He wears black woolen half-finger leg warmers on his legs, and his clothes are in tatters.

"Hell, boy, I'm not going to get tired of living." John jumped up from the ground, stretching his legs and groping back and forth.

Xing Ze smiled faintly, "That bucket of water cost him eight knuts, but he felt it was worth it."

"He begged me to show him some color, I'm a damned foreigner."

Xing Ze shook the wand in his leg, "If I'm looking for my wand, it's there." He began to wonder how J joined the Key Hall.

John's face was ashen, but the wand was not in his leg, so he had no choice but to admit his misfortune and said, "Okay, okay, what do I want to do? Looking for someone to splash water on?"

"R told him to come to me."

"Those bastards," John spat aside, "remember him very well? Are they planning to invite him back?"

"No."

"Then go away, kid, and don't fucking bother him."

"Two Aurors are missing in Knockturn Alley and they've asked me to assist him in their investigation."

"Damn it, did he hear that right? When did the Key Office take over the affairs of the Auror office?"

"I have to ask R about that."

John wiped his face and shouted in the direction of the store: "Hey, Corey, get him a fucking towel. Touji, I beg you to charge for water and give him half of it, do you hear me?" Son of a bitch”

Then, he looked at Xing Ze a few times and asked doubtfully: "Are you new? He has never seen me before. Whose place will he replace? Oh, he remembered, maybe, he heard that the old The guy is dead."

"Am I going to complain like a woman all day long and have some fun?" "

John took the wand and stood there without moving, but the expression on his face was very rich. It was not until the shopkeeper brought a towel that he reluctantly said: "Damn, I'm such a clever little guy. Don't worry, Boy, I need to change my clothes first, I look like a mobile wallet now."
