Chapter 362 Memory Cabinet

"His remuneration is very reasonable. Of course, I am very happy that such an outstanding talent is willing to submit to a small shop like mine."

"So he stayed with me, and I came to teach him how to identify those antiques and some strange magic items. His talent is really amazing. Basically, no matter what I just tell him once, he can learn it immediately. You can even draw inferences from one instance, saving me a lot of effort.”

"In this way, in less than three months, I can safely hand over some of the things in the store to him."

"As you said, although your uncle was quite cheerful when he was young, he was definitely not enthusiastic. To open a store in Knockturn Alley, such qualities are necessary, and the clerk who is too enthusiastic may have some Sometimes it will have the opposite effect.”

"Tom is a very talkative person. He has a good relationship with several regular customers in the store, especially Chris and Smith. They all like this young guy."

"Especially Smith, she really loves him very much, and Tom doesn't dislike her age. He is very good at coaxing women. For a while, they were almost inseparable."

"Then he worked with me for about three years. One day he suddenly found me and said that he was tired of the current life and wanted to go out for a trip."

"At that time, I was also used to having this outstanding young man in the store to help me with my business. I offered to offer him a 30.00% increase in salary if he thought the salary was low, but he finally chose to leave."

Burke's face full of thoughts slowly subsided, he looked at Dumbledore and said.

"I asked him where he planned to go. He didn't tell me the exact location, but he just said that he had been to Albania before, and now he planned to go north again. will return to the UK."

Dumbledore repeated the place name softly.

"Albania?"

"Yes, this should be where he went before he came to my store. During his work here, he never took more than two days off."

With a relaxed smile on his face, Bock said.

"That's all I know. I hope this news can be helpful to you, Mr. Riddle."

The two hundred Galleons were only exchanged for this point. I don't know if it's true or not. It's a dispensable news. There is no doubt that it is definitely a loss.

But the expression on Dumbledore's face did not change at all, it was still so peaceful.

He nodded his thanks to Bok.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Bork. I hope we can have another chance to cooperate next time."

After confirming that Dumbledore was not dissatisfied with his news, the smile on the old wizard's face became brighter.

"Oh, of course Mr. Riddle at this time, this cooperation is very pleasant."

Then Dumbledore and Sherlock had no intention of staying any longer, and walked out of Borgin Burke's shop together.

They didn't stop, and Sherlock led the way to the hut he had bought in Knockturn Alley to temporarily store the property of the Lestrange family.

Dumbledore asked calmly until he turned a corner and the store was no longer visible.

"Did you find anything?"

Sherlock, who hadn't said a word in the store from the beginning to the end, sneered at this moment and said,

"It is true that he has a bad memory when he is old, but one sentence is a lie. There is a secret room in that shop, which is full of all kinds of jewelry and gold Galleons. It is obviously his small treasury, the secret room There is also a cabinet in the cabinet, and there is a Pensieve in the cabinet, as well as a lot of labeled memories."

"I saw Riddle's name in those memories. Although he didn't know that the talented young man who worked in his shop at that time was Voldemort, for some reason, he took him very seriously."

When it came to this, Sherlock couldn't help looking at Dumbledore with some doubts.

"Professor, haven't you read something from his memory with your Legilimency?"

Of course, Dumbledore is not a voyeuristic mind-reading maniac who turns on Dementor all the time, but at the right time, such an easy-to-use magic will not be so pedantic that he has no intention of using it.

It's just obvious that he didn't get any results this time.

"Occlumency is not a difficult magic to learn. An old wizard like him who has lived in Knockturn Alley for decades and has had no accidents for decades will not leave me a chance to read the memory without alarming him. .”

They had already entered the hut that Sherlock had bought, and it was empty.

Sherlock had already emptied the Lestrange family's vault in Gringotts in Diagon Alley, and all the assets that were inconvenient to sell were transferred to a newly opened vault in Gringotts, France.

If one day, Bella and her husband can come out of Azkaban alive, the family vault of Gringotts will definitely be cleaner than their faces.

"So, do you want to do something with the memories he saved?"

With Dumbledore in such a matter, of course it is Dumbledore's decision, and Sherlock is happy not to use his own brain.

Dumbledore's eyes were dark, and under the appearance of not wearing glasses, his blue eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

"We need to get his memory. I think he seems to be hiding something. Just when he was talking to me just now, that memory may answer my doubts."

Now that he has made a decision, Sherlock will certainly not object.

"It's very simple for me to do it. I don't even need to open the door of the secret room. There is a sewer in his small vault. I can steal that memory through this."

"Then let's wait here until dark."

Time passed quickly, and night quietly descended on Knockturn Alley.

After going to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, and having a casual dinner there, Sherlock and Dumbledore, who were dressed in black robes, approached Borgin Burke's shop.

Bok didn't have a family. He was single from beginning to end, and he seemed to have no interest in anything other than earning Galleons.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, he had already turned off all the lights in the house early and returned to the bedroom to rest.

But Sherlock didn't start to act immediately. Under his magic control, he made sure that Bork's breathing became even and he fell into a deep sleep before he really started to act.

In the secret room of the store, the old cabinet leaning against the corner was silently opened.
