Chapter 184 The Horcrux in the Vault
The person was finally lost.

It is strange that in the Ministry of Magic, the stronghold of the Aurors, without permission to apparate, and without any other exits, the two Lestrange brothers disappeared from everyone's sight.

And when the Aurors who were chasing him came back, at the scene of the incident, Sherlock and the others were also describing the process of the incident to the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic.

".We failed to save Alji. They seemed to be familiar with the route in the Ministry of Magic, and we couldn't stop them from leaving. We could only use the explosive spell to create a big commotion and attract others."

It is said that Sherlock told Minkan, but in fact it was Scrimgeour who really understood the incident. After all, he was a professional Auror.

"You said Rodolphus turned into Eddie and tried to frame him?"

He doubted that the two Aurors who were knocked unconscious at the beginning could prove that before they were knocked down, Rodolphs deliberately showed his face for them to see.

The expression on Scrimgeour's face was lost in thought.

"Pretending to be Eddie makes sense. They know that because of Alji's betrayal, all of Eddie's subordinates died. So he has a great motive."

In fact, many people present knew that this was not a great motive at all, but that Eddie himself had already done so.

It's just that they deliberately didn't ask why Sherlock and Eddie appeared here in the middle of the night.

The person is dead, and Eddie didn't kill him, so there is no need to delve too deeply into some things. Whether it's Scrimgeour, Crouch, or Minkan, they are all old fritters.

Knowing that figuring out these things now will not help the development of the matter at all, and there is no need to ask Eddie and Sherlock for their responsibilities knowingly.

Min Kan's face was still gloomy.

"The crux of the problem now is why did they kill Algie? The crux of the problem is that the Ministry of Magic's defenses are useless! Now I want to know how they got in and how they got out!"

Investigating these things will naturally take time.

As the only magical political institution in the entire UK, the Ministry of Magic's defense is actually very weak.

In addition to the restrictions of apparation, it is also possible to enter through some door keys that are left outside for temporary use, and some offices' Floo network.

There is no way to seal these entrances. If they are sealed, the daily work of the entire Ministry of Magic will be semi-paralyzed, and there is no way to deal with government affairs.

So Scrimgeour has a lot of work to do now. First of all, he has to check all the fireplaces connected to the Floo network in the Ministry of Magic, as well as whether the door keys hidden outside have been used by anyone.

At the end Eddie opened his mouth, wanting to say what they heard about the conversation between the Lestrange brothers and Algie, but Sherlock grabbed his sleeve and shook his head imperceptibly to stop him.

Sherlock and Eddie didn't leave the Ministry of Magic until the second half of the night had passed and they had finished all the records at Auror Command.

The two looked at each other, and they came to a bar on the street above the Ministry of Magic together tacitly.

"Why didn't you let me tell that?" Eddie asked puzzled.

Sherlock narrowed his eyes and asked back.

"How did Rodolphus become you?"

Eddie hesitated.

"That kind of deformation should be the effect of compound soup."

"That's right, Polyjuice Potion. If the Death Eaters know that you have a feud with Algie so they pretend to be you, it can be explained by the incident in Wales, one of the ingredients of Polyjuice Potion, your body hair and they are How did you get it?"

Sherlock's words stopped Eddie.

After he was cleared of his crimes and returned to the Ministry of Magic, he stayed in the Auror dormitory of the Ministry of Magic. He never went home once, and there was no one else in contact with him except his colleagues.

In this case, how did the Death Eaters get his body hair?
Sherlock continued.

"And no matter how loose the guards of the Ministry of Magic are, if the Death Eaters were really so easy to get in, then they would not choose to engage in these petty thefts until now. They have already set the target of their operations here countless times. Isn't that more rewarding than those things done outside?"

Eddie quickly understood what Sherlock wanted to express.

"You mean they still have undercover agents in the Ministry?"

"Not only is there an undercover agent, but the identity must not be low. Otherwise, the Dark Lord would not be so restrained. The last exposure of Alji is probably just a smoke bomb. His loyalty to the Dark Lord is not so firm. The Dark Lord himself I must know it too. And the truly loyal undercover agent who will be of great use in the future is still lurking in the Ministry of Magic!"

Sherlock looked at him gravely.

"The words Rodolphus said, the secrets he wanted to hide, only we know, and maybe we can use it to do something. But if you say it, it means that both the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters know it. Besides, even if you say it , can the Ministry of Magic ask Gringotts to check the family treasury of the Lestrange family?"

Eddie was silent.

This is of course impossible.

If possible, there is no need to wait until now. The family treasuries of those pure-blood families who openly turned to the Death Eaters have long been seized.

The reason why there is no such resistance is not because of the goblin guarding Gringotts, but because it is impossible to pass such a motion within the Ministry of Magic.

The reason why Sherlock knows this is because even after 17 years, those Death Eaters have been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, and their family vaults in Gringotts are still not seized.

This is basically equivalent to the customary rules within the wizard.

No matter how big the crime is, the ownership of the Gringotts vault still belongs to the wizard himself, and no one has the right to touch it (for example, Sirius, who sent Harry the Firebolt when he was a fugitive, he figured out how to get it from the Black family Withdraw money from the treasury to buy it).

In addition to these reasons, there is also Sherlock's own selfishness for Eddie to hide this matter.

Although he can't remember much of the original book, but after coming to this world, he learned a lot of inside information.

According to Rodolphus, the cup that Voldemort asked Bella to hide in the Gringotts family vault is very likely to be a Horcrux!
Of course, Bella, including the rest of the Lestrange family, certainly didn't know the existence of the Horcrux. They could only know that what Voldemort gave them was a very important thing.

Horcruxes are not only the only way to defeat Voldemort, but also the ultimate tonic for Sherlock, the kind that can increase his skill for 50 years after taking it.

Concealing the news is also to hope that after the Lestrange brothers find out that the secret has not been spread, they will not tell Voldemort about it and transfer the cup that is suspected to be a Horcrux.

After all, if Voldemort knew about this, and they caused such a big commotion tonight, the two Lestrange brothers would be peeled off if they didn't die.

Still in that dark manor.

On the single sofa, his face was abnormally pale, and the handsome wizard gently picked up the wine glass in his hand.

"Ha! Rodolphus, Rabastan, my right man!"

His faint sarcasm echoed in the living room. The two brothers Lestrange, who were tied up by ropes and fell to the roof, obviously had no injuries on their bodies, but they still seemed to have experienced great pain.

Sweat dripped from their bodies and formed a small puddle on the floor. Standing beside them was Bella who had just punished them in place of the wizard.

As Rodolphus' wife and Rabastan's sister-in-law, she had no intention of pleading with the wizard at this time.

Even the dislike and disgust in his eyes were not concealed at all.

"We...we didn't expect that wizard named Butler. He would actually choose to kill Taft tonight." Rodolphs begged, "Forgive us, master, please."

Bella cursed sharply.

"You two trash! Let me also be ashamed in front of the master!"

The wizard slowly shook the scarlet liquid in the wine glass. He didn't seem to be very angry, but no one would think that he could relax like this.

The more they got along with this master, the more they found that his temper became more and more moody.

At this time, the cold fireplace beside the wall of the living room suddenly sparked a few sparks, and then the dark green flame suddenly rose, forming a young and thin face in the fireplace.

"Forgive my rudeness, master, it is inconvenient for me to leave the Ministry of Magic right now, so I can only communicate with you using Floo powder."

Seeing the young man's face in the fireplace, the two Lestrange brothers held their breaths at the same time. They looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could see the tension almost overflowing from their eye sockets. .

The wizard stopped shaking the wine glass in his hand.

"Let's talk about it, these two wastes have exposed something."

"Although he didn't say it clearly, Scrimgeour obviously began to suspect that there were still undercover agents in the department who hadn't been caught. He checked all the fireplaces in the office and the door keys stranded outside, and found nothing unusual. I haven't been suspected yet, not yet. risk of exposure."

The young man's face formed by the flames said respectfully.

"only these?"

"Yes, Master, that's all the news I've got so far."

Hearing what he said, the two brothers Lestrange completely let go of their worries.

They were really betting that Eddie and Sherlock didn't understand what they were talking to Algee, or did and didn't spread the word.

Otherwise, even if they take the initiative to admit it, they will surely die!
The two brothers knew how much Voldemort attached importance to that cup, and they would never let them go even if the news leaked out!
Judging from now, their gambling luck is not bad, at least their lives have been saved.

"Hurry up and complete the task I entrusted to you." The wizard said coldly, "I don't want to procrastinate any longer. The things in that room must be obtained as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Lord Dark Lord!"

Green flames danced in the hearth, and the young man's face disappeared.
