Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 985: The death behind the disappearance
Muggle disappearance cases have been increasing recently.
Due to the previous disaster, Mondungus realized that future intelligence gathering might need to include the world of Muggles.
However, compared to the population of the magic world, the social structure of Muggles is much more complicated.
"To be honest, the information on the Muggle side is very laborious to find out-although it is a special period, the international secrecy law is still there after all, and we dare not make it too conspicuous..."
Listening to Mondungus spitting out bitterly there, Maca actually didn't have much to say.
In fact, the International Secrecy Law was originally born to provide two-way protection for wizards and Muggles. As long as the two parties are separated from each other as much as possible, a lot of trouble can be avoided.
If you have to give an example... then, for example, war.
It’s just that in terms of the situation during this period of time, Helbo’s constant tossing has also made Muggles and wizards inevitable contacts, so that the international secrecy law has almost become a display.
However, his ability to ignore the laws and plain texts of the modern magic world does not mean that Mondungus and the other wizards who can only walk on the edge dare to cross that line.
"Mr. McLean, you said... If we want to go to the Muggle world to develop some'hands', will this work?"
Looking at the look of Mondungus’ eyebrows and rat eyes, Maca suddenly said:
"It doesn't work!"
He naturally knows what this guy is thinking-as long as he gets approval or instruction from him, then this guy can do these extraordinary things in his name. If the Confederation asked about crimes, Maca McLean would be the strongest shield.
In fact, Mondungus’s idea is mainly for the growth of intelligence channels. Of course, there is selfishness, but the benefits to the Order of the Phoenix and Maca are indeed obvious.
And to be honest, if Mackaken nodded his head, it would really be possible to do it with his current network.
But...
"The temporary investigation is okay. If there are any valuable clues, you can use Veritaserum or even the Imperius Curse, and I can help you with it. But you must remember the word'temporary'," He solemnly said, "This is not the time to break the barrier. Don't stretch your hands too far."
To put it bluntly, if Maca was willing, he had already agreed to the invitation of the Queen of England and the old bishop last time. But he knew very well in his heart that it was too early to talk about these things, and if he really did, he would only get a burning ending.
After this, he returned to the original question:
"So, what's the ‘Muggle Missing Case’ you just mentioned? It was done by a wizard?"
Seeing that Maca completely disagrees with his own thoughts, Mondungus can only put the thought that made him a little bit tickling back into his heart.
Because he understands that, like the kind of extraordinary act of developing power in the Muggle world, there are only a few people in the world that can be done-at least he himself is definitely not qualified.
After sorting out his thoughts a bit, Mondungus explained in a low voice.
"It’s because I don’t look like a wizard made it, so I can’t make up my mind!" He said a little depressed, "Actually! Those missing cases are not difficult to find out. At most, it just takes more time."
"The strange thing is that behind the disappearances, human lives are actually involved, and...the process of the deaths of those deceased is also very bizarre, it is the kind of'strange bizarre'."
Maca heard this and raised his eyebrows:
"'There is a trace to follow the bizarre'? How do you say it?"
Immediately, Mundungus randomly picked a case he had investigated clearly, and told it to Maca as an example.
According to him, an accident happened to such a seemingly ordinary Muggle family a few days ago:
That is a home made up of a couple and two young children. The husband is a car salesman, and the wife, who has just given birth to her second child, quit her job to take care of the children at home.
Obviously, this is actually a common family in London.
But just a few days ago, the wife found out that her husband had an affair very accidentally. This is undoubtedly a very heavy blow to a woman who has only been married for a few years.
So, the wife, who has always been gentle and clear, questioned her husband that night, trying to get him to confess everything.
She originally thought that her husband would covertly refuse to admit it no matter what-although it would also irritate her, it also proved that the husband still has her as a wife in his heart.
Marriage is not a matter of one person, not to mention there are two children now. Even if it is for the sake of the child, she wants to see if it can be restored.
What she didn't expect was that her husband admitted to it nonchalantly!
Needless to say, this quarrel between husband and wife escalated further with the attitude of the husband, and a cold war began between the two.
"It can be said to be normal up to this point," Mondungus said, "This kind of thing, whether it is Muggles or in the magical world, always happens. But then..."
A pair of scissors, one life; the deceased was the husband, but the wife was not the one who did it.
"...It was the hands of the eldest son of the two," he frowned, stretched out his hand and gestured, "only five years old, so tall—the kid took advantage of his father's drunk, right Quasi throat was pricked three or four times in a row!"
"Five years old?" Maca couldn't help but frown, "Is it his own will?"
"Yes," Montongues nodded, "I personally asked...but there is one more problem, which is that this case was originally caused by a disappearance. The wife was not there yet. Knowing that her husband had died in the bathroom, she only found out that her little son was missing... In panic, she called the police."
"Is there any problem?" Maca asked suspiciously.
However, Mondungus spread his hands afterwards.
"There is no problem," he said, "because there is no problem, this is the biggest problem-I said from the beginning, the number of "missing cases" has been increasing recently."
Hearing this, Maca suddenly said:
"So you just said that the disappearances involved human lives... No, it should be said the other way around-are all these deaths cases initially involved in the disappearance?"
"Yes, that's it." Montongues nodded. "We probably counted the dead and murderers. There is no rule to follow. The distribution of cases can only be said to be near London-in the city and It's all outside the city. The only thing that is'missing' is the same for everyone... Although the missing is nothing strange, and most of them are easily found back afterwards."
Judging from the circumstances he said, whether this matter is related to wizards... or to put it more bluntly, whether it is related to Helbo, it is really difficult to make a rash conclusion.
Of course, Haierbo must be a big deal when it comes to suspicion.
"Hmm..." Maca pondered, and then said after a while, "Just because your current number of people is not enough to find out the situation in time, so you will mention me to the Muggle World to develop manpower?"
"Yes!" Mondongues said bitterly, "The Muggle side is too messy, there are so many people, and there are many wizards on our side who are not familiar with Muggle things."
"Don't tell me now," Maca waved his hand, "Anyway, you should continue to stare at it in your current state, and I will figure out the rest."
finished speaking, he picked up the remaining half a cup of butter beer, drinking it and fell into contemplation.
Mundungus saw that Maca was not speaking, so he turned his head and looked at Aberforth, who immediately looked away impatiently.
"Uh... we will continue to stare, then I won't bother you from now on-please feel free to call me if you have anything, I'll be right by the side!"
After speaking to Maca, Mondungus, who felt bored while sitting, stood up and walked to the other round table with his Fire Whiskey.
Maca responded casually, not paying attention to his departure.
He is now thinking about "missing", especially "those who are missing are easily retrieved afterwards".
Obviously, there must be a reason for this. If these disappearances were all "man-made", the reasons here would be more intriguing.
As for those seemingly "bizarre" deaths, Maca has already developed some personal thoughts.
"Anyway, I have to check it out myself."
gently put down the empty glass, Maca muttered so.
……
The next day~IndoMTL.com~Maca received a summary of the case compiled by Mondungus. He asked the other party to keep a record of all the cases that he had followed so that he could select and check.
As Mundungus said, these disappearances are really many.
Compared with the population around London, this list is nothing at all. But if he was asked to check it out one by one, to be honest, he really didn't have so much time.
Right now, Maca is sitting in his potion preparation room, looking at these case records with different handwriting at will. After a while, he shook his head for himself:
"There is really no pattern at all."
But after roughly scanning it first, and finding that there were no clues, Maca settled down and looked carefully one by one.
Because he is used to reading all kinds of messy materials, his reading speed is much faster than ordinary people. I saw the stack of reports quickly alternated in his hands, turning over half of them in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly, he stopped turning his hand over the report.
"This is--"
Maca stared at the piece of paper in her hand, looked back and forth again, but frowned more and more tightly.
After a while, he put all the other reports on the table, walked out quickly with only that one, and left the room in a hurry.
