The Evil God of Hogwarts

Chapter 48 Eric’s hiding place (Thanks to Tian Hui for the reward, please collect it.ɱ)

Xing Ze cast an admiring look at him, "I'm very smart, Cedric."

"Can he help me with anything, sir?"

Xing Ze was waiting for his words. When he was looking through the student files, he discovered that Cedric's mother worked in the Cliona Library. That resource must be put to good use.

"He remembers my mother working in the library?"

"No, sir, the Cliona Library."

"Does she have permission to access first-level documents?" Xing Ze asked. The first-level documents in Cliona's library contain many copies of historical records of pure-blood families. In addition, there are many documents that record the atrocities of the Death Eaters back then.

Cedric thought for a while and replied: "She should have that right. Well, sir, if you want to consult the literature, wouldn't it be better to go directly?"

"Secret investigation, Cedric!" Xing Ze emphasized, but complained in his heart that if he had the right, he wouldn't have to lie to a teenager.

"He can ask his mother." Cedric was a little embarrassed, "But there is no guarantee of success."

"Just try your best. Besides, I remember very well what happened on the train after he left?"

"What do you mean?"

"Abnormal, suspicious people, anything that I find interesting, especially those four passengers.

Cedric thought for a while and replied: "He went to the radio room of the train at that time. Then he can ask Patsy and other prefects to see what they found."

Xing Ze nodded, although he had no hope if he didn't do this. The Auror Office and the people who taught the wrong train have been questioned. If there is anything discovered, Bishop Andrew has no reason to hide it from him.

After telling Cedric how to contact him, Xing Ze hurried back to his dormitory. He added to his notes and formulated a simple plan.

He was now focused on the missing Auror case and the investigation of the Red Shard, but both of them involved the train attack, so the three things were mixed together, like a simmering mess.

Judging from the information currently available, the Avery family is the most suspect, after all, the two Aurors disappeared in their territory.

Next was the Gunyou Gang and the Undertaker. The red candies and strange symbols that appeared many times forced Xing Ze to include them in the list of suspects.

"So, we have to go to Knockturn Alley." After sorting out his notes, Xing Ze leaned on his chair, mentally calculating the risks of going to Knockturn Alley to investigate alone.

No, if J doesn't reply tomorrow, he can risk sneaking into Knockturn Alley by himself. After all, time waits for no one, and many clues will disappear over time.

Xing Ze raised his leg and looked at his watch. Seeing that it was very early, he planned to leave for Eric's hiding place in London to have a look.

He arrived at the address written on the piece of paper at three o'clock in the morning. It was a small two-story villa located in the suburbs of London, hidden in the dense woods, with only a gravel path leading to it.

The rental car driver who took him there was a short, fat middle-aged man. It took him a while to figure out where Xing Zeqiu was going. Along the way, he complained about traffic, the government, the plague, etc.

"Very few people go to that place now, but it used to be very lively." He said, "He remembered that the place belonged to a rich man earlier, and there would be misdirections every now and then, and many drivers would go there. But not many year, that person went bankrupt and had an economic crisis.”

Xing Ze responded word by word. He saw the bustling streets gradually being replaced by endless lawns, then trees, and finally dense forests.

Did he need to walk for the last ten minutes? After seeing the villa, Xing Ze whistled, and the raven immediately visited the villa. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Xing Ze continued to move forward.

To be able to buy such a charming place in the suburbs of London, it seems that Eric's potion business is doing well.

Xing Ze cast an Alajo opening spell at the wrong front door. The door creaked open, and the musty smell caught him off guard.

The house was turned into a mess. It was obvious that the Ministry of Magic and the Church had conducted a thorough investigation. Xing Ze didn't expect to find any useful clues there, so he wanted to confirm something.

That weird room was on the second floor, a small bedroom. The ceiling and floor were covered with various symbols. I could even find a few Celtic crosses in it.

Eric took great pains to avoid the intrusion of dreams. Xing Ze sighed and looked at the bedside.

Coming from the earth, He calls him from the east of the earth. The words written in blood have turned black, and the symbol is clearly painted on another wall of the room.

That time, Xing Ze was not led into a hallucination by the symbol. He felt vaguely uncomfortable and smelled the faint rancid smell of the liquid.

He heard the cry of Blue Beak, and turned around, and saw it getting into the bottom of the closet in the room, and after a while he found a red candy from it.

Xing Ze went over to pick up the red candy. Maybe Eric accidentally dropped it and rolled it in.

"Hallucinogens, the Oil Gang, the Avery family." Xing Ze murmured to himself, "The fog has finally cleared a little. It seems he is heading in the right direction."

The stench lingering in his nose was getting worse. Xing Ze frowned, stood up and looked around. Blue Beak also began to become uneasy.

He determined the direction of the east stink, took out the magic weapon and searched for it. The disgusting smell became strong in the study room on the second floor. Xing Ze carefully opened the door and walked in.

Then, he saw the picture on the wall, which was clearer, more disturbing and uncomfortable than the one Bishop Andrew had shown him before.

The object in the painting squats and walks on the ground, like a pot-bellied toad, and its face has some features of a bat. Because the portrait was made of a tar-like black liquid, Xing Ze could not see all the details of the strange thing, but he was glad that he did not see it clearly.

"Swaipu never mentioned that." Xing Ze said solemnly, squeezing the wand tightly, but he felt his body shaking slightly.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the house. After his rebirth, Xing Ze's sense of hearing and smell were strengthened, and there was a snapping sound when his feet stepped on the muddy ground, which indicated that the wrong party was coming not from the front entrance, but from the backyard.

He reacted quickly and rushed out of the room in a few steps, but what he didn't notice was that the portrait slowly flowed from the wall.

Xing Ze leaned against the wall and came to the window at the end of the corridor. The semicircular window could clearly see the backyard and the woods not far away. He stretched out his legs and carefully opened the curtains and looked out from the gap. .

His guess was correct. There were three people walking towards the house from the woods. From their clothes, Xingze couldn't tell whether they were wizards or Muggles. So, he waited quietly, waiting for the three people to open the back door and walk into the house.

Just when he was about to use apparation to leave there, a long black whip suddenly struck him.
