It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 289
Barty Crouch is usually a very pampered person.

Because of his old age, although his face is full of wrinkles and small age spots, his skin is still fair and tender, but today his face looks a little paler.

After careful observation, Moody, who had dealt with him the most before, could notice something was wrong.

After his reminder, Sherlock has only realized this matter now, and Crouch himself is also one of the two most suspected people.

Now at this point in time, such a thing has been discovered again, which undoubtedly adds more doubtful points to him.

Neither Moody nor Sherlock reacted strangely to this, they just got together and talked in a low voice with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"What's next?" Moody asked.

Sherlock didn't stare directly at Crouch's face like that, but pretended to appreciate the display furniture in the meeting room as if nothing had happened, and looked at him from the corner of his eye.

"We need to verify whether there is any injury on his body. Can't your magic prosthetic eye see through some things? Can you do the see-through function?"

Listening to him ask this, Moody's face was strange.

"Of course not! My eye can see through some magical clothes, but how can a normal robe like this have the see-through function!"

"That's it."

Sherlock smacked his lips, showing a look of pity.

Then he said: "Then later, I will create an opportunity for you, you come to stare at him. Remember, look at his back, that is where Shenfeng Wuying does the most damage."

While Sherlock and the author of Moody had a brief communication, Dumbledore also told the other referees who were called here, and told about the accident that happened to the fire dragon.

"...As I said just now, if you want to carry out the first event according to the previously determined time, those Romanian dragon trainers have no way to borrow new fire dragons. If you want to follow the original plan Then we can use the help provided by Sherlock, and with the cooperation of his unique friend, we can bring these dead fire dragons back to life, and they will have the same effect as the original dragons."

Dumbledore looked at the other four referees and said softly.

He didn't fully tell the specific cause of the fire dragon's death, but vaguely skipped it, only saying that some accidents had happened to the fire dragon in the Forbidden Forest.

And what was the surprise?Among the five referees present, apart from him, only Mrs. Maxim and the mastermind who didn't know whether she was hiding among the referees knew the reason.

After hearing the news, the expressions on the faces of the four referees in the conference room were also different.

Mrs. Maxim, who knew the most, pursed her lips from beginning to end, without any intention of expressing her opinion.

It's just that sometimes her eyes can't help but glance in the direction of Sherlock. Up to now, she still can't figure out what kind of tactics this young man used to deal with the four crazy fire dragons at once.

Bagman showed enough surprise, he mused.

"After the restart of the Triwizard Tournament this time, it really gave us a lot of surprises, the matter of choosing more Potter, and now we have to face whether the first event is postponed, or choose a seemingly feasible backup option. I actually It is more inclined to the backup option that Dumbledore said. Now many eyes in the magic world are looking at this Triwizard Tournament. If the first event is postponed, it will be difficult for others to keep it. We It is a good impression that we can safely finish all the competitions this semester."

After he finished speaking, Crouch's words were still brief.

"I think the same as Ludo, and agree with the method Dumbledore said."

"I have no objection either," Madame Maxime said in the same way.

All three expressed their attitudes, and there was only one Karkaroff left. Normally, he was also the one who was most likely to refuse.

But this time he seemed to know that even if he refused, his attitude was no longer important in the situation of 4:1, so he didn't say anything more, just nodded calmly.

"Since you've all said that, it doesn't matter what I think. As long as I can ensure that the competition in the first event is still fair, I have no objection."

"Thank you for your understanding." Dumbledore said with a smile.

This meeting is obviously going to end here, and just when all the referees stood up from their seats, the robe on Crouch, who was in the most marginal position, suddenly looked up as if he had consciousness. tease!

Not only the outer robe he was wearing, but also the sweater and shirt inside were all lifted up, and at this moment, Crouch's upper body was exposed.

Because the accident happened so quickly, not only did Crouch himself fail to react, but the others also did not react immediately.

He had been reminded by Sherlock before that Moody, who had been staring at Crouch's back all the time, did not see any scars on the exposed skin.

"What's going on here?" Crouch looked annoyed and pulled down his robe and sweater.

"Sorry, Mr. Crouch, it was my fault."

Sherlock, who was pretending to fiddle with the bookcase on the side and didn't know when to leave the information, said with an apologetic face.

"I want to tidy up here, but it seems that the skill of casting spells is a little poor. I originally wanted to bring the book next to you by magic, but it accidentally affected your clothes. I am very sorry for that. gentlemen."

Crouch's face looked very bad, he said coldly to Sherlock.

"As the professor of this school, you really should hone your poor magic skills, Mr. Forrest."

After finishing speaking, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the conference room, while the others didn't see anything wrong, they just thought it was indeed Sherlock's mistake, and left here one by one.

In the end, only Moody, Sherlock and Dumbledore remained in this meeting.

After everyone left, the door of the conference room was closed again.

"No, I didn't see any obvious scars on Batty's back." Moody said with a frown.

Sherlock stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The spell of Shenfeng Wuying is very strong, but we can't rule out that even if there is no solution to the spell, someone can heal the wound I caused overnight."
