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

Chapter 322
"I think that even if I was negligent in teaching, what I have always instilled in him is the correct thinking. In the end, it was his own choice to go another way. This can't be blamed on anyone. He might blame me and think it's all wrong. My fault, this is also where his thinking is naive, he just wants what he lost, never wanted to get."

"But I've always owed Kath."

"When I was young, I was busy with work, and even when the baby was born, I didn't spend even a day with her at home. We had no wedding anniversary, no candlelight dinner, no romantic memories, but she still No complaints of any kind."

"When I was promoted to Director of the Executive Division and made a public statement against Voldemort, she was already in danger. Those inhuman thugs tried to kidnap her countless times to blackmail me into compromise. Several times they have all succeeded,"

"But she never gave in, and she never asked me to save her, not even once!"

When he said this, Crouch had already pulled his hair in pain.

"At the most dangerous time, the Death Eater's wand was already on her head, and she just smiled and said to me, let me work hard, take good care of little Barty, and don't be sad about her death."

"I love her, so I feel sorry for her even more. Therefore, I have no way to refuse her last wish before death, even if it betrays what I have always insisted on."

"As she said, I went to Azkaban in the name of visiting the prison, and then changed her into Barty Jr. in prison, and Barty Jr. into her, and completed the replacement in this way, I personally sent my wife to a dead end, and rescued my son who had gone astray."

"But little Barty has come out, and his loyalty to Voldemort has not diminished. He treated that man as his own father, and after he came out of Azkaban, he was determined to find him back. I There's no other way but to keep him in the house with the Imperius Curse and let the house-elf take care of him."

"It's Kath's last wish to take good care of him. I can only hope that Voldemort will never come back. Little Barty will eventually accept this reality."

"However, it turned out that I was still wrong."

His expression has become numb. In the office, Dumbledore, Sherlock and Moody didn't bother him, just quietly listening to him talk about the old man who almost became the Minister of Magic back then, Tell about your past.

"Little Barty's loyalty to Voldemort, no spell can be erased, his willpower is extremely tenacious, but the more he goes to the back, the more he disguises himself, making me think that he has really changed from the past. Then, in order to let him relax, I let the house-elf secretly take him to watch the Quidditch World Cup."

"And then something happened."

Cockroach raised his head and turned his gaze to Sherlock. His eyes were complex, with hatred, gratitude, anxiety, and relief.

"You should all know what happened that time. This Professor Forrest should have told you all what he did. Little Barty took this opportunity to reconnect with Voldemort's people, but in the end he was found , Forrest killed him, and he told me the news at the scene that day."

"I should thank you for not telling me about it on the spot, at least I saved my reputation that it doesn't matter whether I have it or not." He said to Sherlock decadently.

All the people present tightened their breathing slightly, they knew that now Crouch was going to talk about the crux of the problem.

"After the World Cup ended, when I returned home, several unexpected guests came to my house. I know all of them, and all of them are wizards who once worked under Voldemort, and then used their connections and bribes to get rid of their crimes. , the most notorious of which was Gargson."

"They told me that Barty Jr. is not dead, he is with them now, he misses his father very much, and wants to meet me."

"Of course such a clumsy lie can't fool me. I already know in my heart that Forrest didn't lie to me. He really killed Barty Jr."

"I tried to drag them first, and then sent a message to the Ministry of Magic to wait for reinforcements, but they didn't give me such a chance at all, and directly controlled me and used the Imperius Curse."

"After the Quidditch World Cup, all you saw of me was my soul-captured self."

When he was talking, Dumbledore asked softly.

"Is Harry's name the Goblet of Fire they held you in?"

Crouch shook his head.

"It's not me. After those people in Gagson captured my soul, they just asked me to plan one thing from the beginning to the end." He looked at Sherlock again, "Kill Forrest, and put Take his body back."

"That day in the Forbidden Forest, I summoned the fire dragon, and I was the one who attacked Forrest, but after that operation failed, I had already started to fight against the Soul Snatcher on me, and Gagson and the others also noticed that I was The situation is wrong, just when I can barely be controlled by them, let me hand over the work to Percy, and then privately try to find a way to control me again."

Sherlock couldn't help but frowned, what Crouch said was completely different from what he had guessed before.

"From beginning to end, you just did that one thing?"

Crouch said calmly.

"I'm willing to take Dumbledore's Insanity, or drink Veritaserum and re-talk the whole thing."

Dumbledore shook his head.

"It's not necessary, we believe what you say."

Moody's hoarse voice also sounded.

"They separated the two things."

Sherlock and Dumbledore turned their eyes to him.

"The matter of killing Sherlock and dealing with Harry was handed over to different people by the mysterious man. After being captured, Batty was in charge of Sherlock, and he was in charge of Harry." At this point he deliberately paused, "I Think it's the guy we've been suspecting."

Dumbledore and Sherlock were naturally tacit about who the person he was talking about, but there was no way to accuse him with the existing evidence unless strong measures were used.

Dumbledore looked back at Crouch.

"I want to know, during the period when your soul was captured, did you ever see the current Voldemort with your own eyes?"

Crouch drank the hot cocoa in the cup, shook his head and said.

"No, the only people who have been in contact with me are Gagson and the others, but from their words, I can be sure that Voldemort is planning a comeback!"
