Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 522: Suspicious letters
In the past few days, it's nothing new for someone to write to him. After he wiped out the two generations of the Dark Lord in one fell swoop, he knew that his number was increasing every day, and letters were sent to him from time to time.
But today’s letter is quite different.
It can be seen that the envelope is a special specification of the British Ministry of Magic, and the large "M" logo of the Ministry of Magic is clearly knocked on the sealing lacquer, and a bright magic wand stands in the middle of the letter.
However, when Maca picked up the envelope and took it out, there was only one copy inside. Immediately, his eyes were attracted by the "latest report" printed on the front page of the newspaper.
"...'The ghosts rob the dungeon in the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters flee again'?"
The headline of this report is very eye-catching. A headline alone occupies almost one-eighth of the homepage. It is difficult for people not to see it.
Of course, as far as the title is concerned, although it is indeed eye-catching, ordinary people generally don't see any deep meaning in it. Just the subtitle that follows it is much more interesting.
"Scrimgeour's ministerial seat, doesn't it seem to be sitting very securely?" There was a seemingly non-essential smile on the corner of Maca's mouth, a state of mind for watching a good show.
The subtitle is written like this:
"Surprised that the ghost appeared! Is it the loose part of the Auror office or the negligence of the British Ministry of Magic as a whole?"
Compared with the straightforward brief description of the main title, the subtitle obviously contains a lot of private goods.
First of all, Rufus Scrimgeour, the current Minister of the Ministry of Magic, was originally the director of the Auror’s office. Everyone knows that. This subtitle hits Scrimgeour’s former department as soon as he opens his mouth. The intention is It's obvious.
The following sentence simply included the entire Ministry of Magic, and it was really mercilessly targeted.
Just after reading these two headlines, Maca's heart is somewhat counted. But after he habitually glanced at the date of the newspaper, there was a little more thoughtfulness on his face.
This newspaper is not today’s news, but "tomorrow". In other words, this is a so-called "finalized newspaper", the original that has not yet been officially released. Or, this is simply a "sample report" that has not been proofread by an editor.
Thinking about this, he flipped through the next few pages, and saw that several parts were still blank.
It can be seen that although Scrimgeour is doing things seemingly turbulent, he is rough but fine. Even if someone is still staring at the seat under his ass, he is not so easy to deal with, and he has also planted his own dark line in the media.
In other words, this newspaper was "stolen" by him.
"It seems that this is true, otherwise Scrimgeour would not give me this..." Maca muttered to himself, "It's just that he used the letter channel of the Ministry of Magic to come directly. Look, he seems to have plenty of leeway to control the Ministry of Magic?"
The meaning of this letter is actually very clear. It is to ask Maca to help solve this prison robbery. However, if this matter really related to Scrimgeour's ministerial position, he would certainly not be so blatantly sending a letter in the name of the Ministry of Magic.
Marcario thought for a moment, his eyes flashed suddenly, then he shook his head again.
"...So that's it," he chewed the deep meaning in it, and suddenly understood how Dumbledore became his principal. "If there are no powerful cells, this is just a normal message to me. That’s it."
The so-called smart, there are actually many directions. Some people are smart in the struggle for power and gain, and are naturally good at managing all kinds of power and profit conspiracy; while some people are smart in learning to create, usually gain knowledge in enjoyment, and then set foot on the peak in certain areas.
This letter can actually be received by anyone. The idiot should have obtained a free newspaper; ordinary smart people would probably think it is a letter of help; only those who have a certain analytical ability on the power field will find the hidden "good" in it. And "Temptation".
In fact, when Scrimgeour brought Dumbledore's will in St Mungo's ward before, his temptation had already begun. It's just that Maca was actually a little perfunctory from beginning to end, showing an ambiguous attitude. Perhaps because of this, he knocked on Maca's door again through this "inner ghost robbery incident" this time.
For Scrimgeour, who wants to be a good Minister of Magic, a wizard with powerful magic power like Maca is a hurdle that can't be circumvented. He is not willing to this potential cooperative power. , It is impossible to kick him down easily.
So now, Maca is almost certain that if he takes care of Scrimgeour and solves this mess, what awaits him will be a handsome reward. Most of this reward will not be a tacky thing like Jin Jialong, but something that is invisible and intangible, but very valuable.
Of course, if he is not smart enough, the reward may really turn into the vulgar Jin Jialong after he helped him.
And this is roughly the situation where he agrees to help.
If he refuses this time, regardless of whether he sees Scrimgeour's true intentions or not, there may be some estrangement between him and the Minister of Magic in the future.
"Rufus Scrimgeour..." Maca said the name for a while, then secretly sighed, "Can't you tell the truth?"
Whether he is willing to sign this profound cooperation document, at least for him, it doesn't matter whether he helps or not. He was not very interested in those powerful things, and he never planned to take over the principal of Hogwarts. That would not be the life he wanted.
These speculations and conjectures are a long story, but they are actually a matter of minutes. After thinking about it, Maca stretched the newspaper again and read the specific content of the article roughly.
This long piece of news that occupies a whole page is rich in details, and the words and sentences are not stingy, and the whole incident is added with the background of various people involved, and it is filled in without hesitation. A total of three magical photos are inserted in the middle, which are clearly structured and accurate, which is not unviable.
In an article by this old elder, the most frequently appeared one was an employee of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. The name Maca had never been heard before, but he was the protagonist of this incident—— It is the so-called "inner ghost".
The incident was very noisy. At that time, there was even a big fight in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic. Whether it was an ordinary wizard who went to the Ministry of Magic for official duties or the staff and workers of the Ministry of Magic, many people did. Witnessed the mighty chase and escape at the scene.
Fighting inside the Ministry, even when Voldemort was still alive, didn't dare to do it, but who knew it happened after Voldemort was destroyed.
According to the description in the newspaper, the scene was quite hot at the time. Although the dead Voldemort loyalists who were arrested and awaiting trial looked quite embarrassed, once they took up their wands, they would never be soft in killing people. Only in the first round of the battle, both the Auror and the Death Eaters suffered casualties in an instant.
After that, the two sides chased and fled, the Aurors chased and attacked, and the Death Eaters fought and retreated. After the two parties lost a lot of manpower between each other, the "inner ghost" somehow opened a closed Floo net fireplace, and the remaining Death Eater remnants disappeared into the tragic green flames. in.
In the whole article, there is a description of the identity and behavior of the inner ghost, and even some work and life in the past. Among the seemingly real information, the spear was faintly directed at the Minister of Magic Scrimgeour.
Maca just scanned the densely packed text roughly, and then his eyes were drawn to one of the three photos.
That was the scene where the Death Eaters were fighting and retreating in the hall, and their actions were clearly visible in the black and white magical photos. Each Death Eater held up their wand and waved desperately ~ IndoMTL.com~ The gray magic beams were pouring to the other end like rain.
At the close range of the photo, many onlookers huddled together were backing away in a panic, the color of fear on their faces showed.
The Death Eaters didn't love to fight—not even one person hesitated. Although they are not good at coordinating combat, most of them fight in their own way, but they are better than ordinary Auror players in individual strength. After they kept casting the spell, although they retreated hurriedly, it was not too reluctant.
But it's actually very strange, because which of those Death Eaters would be the guy who likes to retreat? You know, most of those dark wizards who escaped from Azkaban are mostly murderous lunatics. In such a fierce battle, how could he retreat in such a rhythmic and orderly manner?
Maca has processed many large and small case files from the Order of the Phoenix, so he immediately discovered the problem, and noticed some clues in the not-so-large picture of the battle.
He found that the Death Eaters seemed to be fleeing the Ministry of Magic purposefully. Or to be more precise, the prison robbery of those guys seemed to have an extremely important central task.
So, with this conjecture, Maca carefully searched in the photo, including the look, action and position of each Death Eater...
Then he saw a big acquaintance who was particularly suspicious in detail in the mess of Death Eaters.
"This is Bellatrix?" Maca muttered in surprise, "...Well, it really is her."
Of course, it’s not that he can’t recognize this big acquaintance, but the other person’s behavior in the photo is a bit unusual. It seems to be mixed among the Death Eaters and retreat, but the wand that was waving wildly did not cast any magic. Signs of curse.
