Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 293 The real cause of death

The death of Ludo Bagman happened to happen after the interviews with the three warriors, and the suspicions happened to be evenly distributed among the three warriors... Isn't this a bit too coincidental?

Although there is still a problem with this inference, that is, whether it is the dispute between Bagman and Krum or the debt relationship between him and the goblins, they all occurred before the start of the Triwizard Tournament - who is the murderer? How did you predict the Warrior's identity and relationship with Bagman before the game started?

Even as a British official, Ludo Bagman came to Durmstrang to host the game. Is the reason behind it not as simple as Karkaroff said?

"So, you all must remain in custody until we find out the truth."

Crouch said without doubt, and the two principals behind him just said nothing, seemingly acquiescing to Crouch's statement: "During this period, you need to continue to live in these rooms. But classes and Life can go on as normal, but you are still not allowed to hold a wand. In addition, you are not allowed to communicate with your principal in private for the time being. This is to ensure the accuracy of the results... Are there any questions?"

"have."

Avada raised her hand and asked: "Now that our study and life can proceed normally, can we look for evidence that is beneficial to us on our own, or at least go to the crime scene to take a look? That should be fine. I can keep it confidential. Right? Many people have witnessed it..."

"This is your freedom. But it's best not to expect the so-called 'evidence' you can find to be convincing."

Crouch nodded casually: "As for the crime scene - since Durmstrang is still negotiating with the British Ministry of Magic, the crime scene has been frozen by magic, waiting for the intervention of a professional investigation team. The place is now being strictly protected, and no one is allowed to get close. But it doesn’t matter if you just observe it from a distance, but that shouldn’t have anything to do with the verification..."

"and,"

Finally, he warned sternly: "Don't be too careful - every move you make outside your room will be recorded by badges. Once you make any abnormal behavior, we will immediately learn about it and take action." .”

"Outside your own room?"

"Of course. You don't expect to be under surveillance when you take a bath or sleep, right?"

This time it was Dumbledore who answered on behalf of Crouch: "And this is because your room itself has already guaranteed safety - so please try to be as calm as possible when you are in the room and don't do anything unnecessary. No Things that will help you escape guilt."

After saying that, he looked at each other with Crouch and Mrs. Maxim, and then turned and left together. From the beginning to the end, he did not give Avada even a hint of his eyes. And in the underground floor, there were only three warriors who had not yet been exonerated, looking at each other awkwardly...

"Do you believe what the Englishman said?"

Krum, who had been silent just now, was the first to break the silence this time: "The deceased happens to be related to all three of us, even Ken, who has the least motive... Is that your name? That's fine... Even Kendu was arranged to be the last one to meet Bagman, and got the biggest suspicion... We are probably being targeted."

"Anyone can see it."

Fleur shook her hair and looked a little anxious: "The goblin... what is the specific relationship between the man named Bagman and the goblin? Do any of you know?"

Avada and Krum shook their heads together.

"I have to go find Professor Karkaroff."

Krum said: "This is not a personal contact, after all, he is now the person in charge of Durmstrang... I have to go to him and ask him about the matter, at least not as ignorant as I am now - -If Bagman was killed by an outsider, it probably means that the school is no longer safe, not to mention we don’t have a wand yet!”

"Then I'll go check out the crime scene."

Avada also nodded heavily, then turned around and left the underground floor first - now he was also unsure.

Although losing his wand is not a big deal to him, he has long been able to cast most of his magic without a wand. But if things are really as Krum said, then this undoubtedly means that other students will also be in danger - which is different from what he and Dumbledore agreed.

On the second floor of Durmstrang, Ludo Bagman's former office has long been protected by heavy magic. Although the door is still open, several lines including warnings, defenses, etc. have been painted on the outside. There are two professors outside to take care of the protective magic including counterattack. After seeing Avada coming, they immediately became vigilant, obviously sensitive to knowing the identity of the visitor.

"...just came to take a look."

Seeing this, Avada had to stop several meters away from the first line. From this distance, he could not even clearly see the interior of the office with his eyes alone.

As Crouch said, Bagman's office was indeed completely preserved, and even the body of Ludo Bagman himself was left intact - in the Magic Senses Below, the entire office was shrouded in a strange magic, causing all objects inside to stop moving and freeze at the moment before the magic was activated.

And Ludo Bagman's body, like the furniture and objects around him, sat motionless on the chair behind the desk. A silver dagger was nailed to his heart, but strangely there was no trace of blood left. He even held a quill in his hand, and his eyes were slightly widened. It seemed that before the panic could fully appear on his face, he had permanently lost the ability to express emotions...

"Killed instantly? No resistance at all... no, not even a little bit of awareness?"

Avada tried his best to control his expression and prevent the two professors in front of him from seeing that he was actually carefully observing every detail in the room: "Is this the effect that can be achieved with a dagger?"

"...The dagger does have traces of magic that are different from human styles. It should be the so-called fairy craftsmanship - but that magic only has the function of eliminating blood stains. Other than that, it is an ordinary silver dagger..."

"Look at other things...the mental power has completely dissipated. After all, the time of death has passed for too long. The vitality...wait?!"

"How come the life force has completely dissipated?!"

Generally speaking, life force, as the link between body and spirit, exists everywhere in the body. Muscles, blood, bones...everywhere is infiltrated by vitality. Although the vitality will be greatly dissipated at the time of death, it will never be completely dissipated like it is now, without any trace of its existence, unless there is some special magic...

No matter in theory or in Avada's knowledge, there is only one magic that can cause such an effect.
