"It should be revenge of the enemy. In a place like Knockturn Alley, it would be strange if there is no case in three days." John Deluxe said to the team's men after a brief inspection of the scene.

The Auror team responsible for the security of Knockturn Alley is led by him, but everyone knows that Diagon Alley is actually a gray area allowed by the Ministry of Magic, and even some things that are difficult for the Ministry to deal with directly will be sold here, so they actually He doesn't show up much here, using his Knockturn Alley duties purely as a reason to get an extra stipend - which is also the easiest salary to get.

However, they still have to come and see if someone is actually killed. After all, there are too few people in the magic world, and one person who dies is really one less person.

"You wouldn't say that if you came to work with a brain."

Delis frowned and looked at Aesop Green who suddenly barged in: "This is not Azkaban, and it is not under your control, right, Warden?"

Aesop didn't care about the other party's attitude. He directly stretched out his hand to push the people from the Delis Auror team away and squatted down next to the corpse.

Seeing that the other party completely ignored him, Delis became even more unhappy: "This is my case, and your team is not qualified to intervene."

Hancock held his shoulders, obviously not letting him disturb his captain.

"What, Yankee, are you confident now that you have a backer?"

This Auror from the United States, a formal member of the Sour Grapes Auror Team, just looked at the other party with a smile, and did not seem to be angry: "Mr. Delis, please give Captain Green some time. I think you also need to have some understanding of the ministry." Explain - just a reason for vendetta is not enough."

Are expressions contagious? Why am I so angry when I see this smiling face? It's like it was copied from Aesop's face.

What a sour grapes squad, you might as well call it the fake smile squad.

After a while, Aesop stood up and took off the disposable rubber gloves.

"Are you a wizard, Aesop, or is it because growing up in a Muggle orphanage has affected your brain, and you need to use Muggle methods to investigate a case?" Delis mocked, he knew that rubber The gloves must have been a product of the Muggle world, and Aesop fiddled with the corpse for a while without using a single spell.

"Too arrogant, Delis. Whether it's a wizard's method or a Muggle's method, the method that can solve the problem is the best method." Aesop took out a thermos cup filled with coffee from his pocket.

"What do you think this place is?" Delis was even more annoyed when he saw the other party's appearance. "Then you can tell me what you gained from your Muggle methods."

"First of all, we can rule out vendetta." Unexpectedly, Aesop actually started to argue with it. "If it is a vendetta, it will definitely be straightforward, or make the target as painful as possible."

Even wizards cannot deny this. In fact, from an emotional point of view, there is no difference between Muggles and wizards.

"But." Aesop looked at Delis with a smile.

Here we go again, this half-smiling look is really annoying.

"Although there are traces of restraint on the body, the location of the wound was carefully selected. Stabbing here will only cause continuous bleeding, but you will not feel much pain."

Therefore, this method of killing is neither straightforward nor can it achieve the effect of torturing the target - this is not a vendetta.

"If you only see these things, it won't be of much use to the case." Delis didn't care. It should be said that he didn't care much about all the cases that happened in Knockturn Alley. Gray areas must be aware of gray areas.

In Diagon Alley, hurting someone is a big deal; but in Knockturn Alley, no one will be held accountable for their death.

"Of course not." Aesop suddenly became serious, "Be serious, Delis, someone's hand crossed the line."

"What do you mean?"

Aesop waved his magic wand, rolling up the blood on the ground. The black blood extended from the wound on the abdomen of the corpse, and finally turned into the shape of a sword.

"This wound was not caused by magic at all." After losing the support of Aesop's magic, the black blood fell back to the ground. "If you haven't forgotten everything you learned in Hogwarts and Auror training camp, It’s clean, and it should be easy to distinguish between spell injuries and sharp weapon injuries.”

"Is there any difference between dying by a sword and dying by a wand?" Delis snorted, and no one stipulates that wizards are not allowed to use swords. Otherwise, what is Gryffindor?

"The key is not what you died of." Aesop looked directly at Delis, "The key is, if it were you, could you stab this position with a sword that would only make people bleed?"

"This..." Delis swallowed.

Aesop's eyes narrowed, which was a dangerous sign: "Don't mention you, there is no such person in the entire British wizarding world. Even Dumbledore couldn't cause such a precise wound without a wand. ,so……"

Yes, who else could it be? His old rival, Mr. Seldon Ilyich, was the former principal of Kodosdorez.

Only a combat wizard with a wand and a sword trained by Kodosdorez could have the ability to thrust out such a sword.

In other words, the murderer is a wizard from Russia.

Then why could Aesop know that it was not Ilyich himself - he had seen the Gryffindor sword himself, and the blade was a little wider than this wound.Moreover, this archmage, who was once the head of a school, had no choice but to sneak out of Russia for unknown reasons, so he has always been alone.

At the scene, in addition to the footprints left by the Delis team who trampled the place into a mess, there were four or five sets of footprints belonging to the murderer, which meant that this was still a gang crime.

These four or five people are all good players. If an archmage has such helpers, he is fully qualified to form an Order of the Phoenix. There is no need to leave Russia in embarrassment.

"The Russian Ministry of Magic has crossed the line." Aesop's tone was very firm.

Delis's expression finally became serious: "Aesop Green, you know what you are talking about, right? What their wizards do and what their Ministry of Magic does are completely different things."

If it is true as Aesop said, this case is likely to stir up a storm in the magical circles of the two countries.

"Delix, take this body back to the ministry. Someone will tell you the answer - they used alchemical chains and used bloody interrogation, and this is the symbol of our Russian colleagues."

"Temple?" Delis's mouth came out with a name that made countless Russian wizards tremble.

"Where are you going?"

Just as straightforward as when he came, Aesop left without any worries at all - but at this moment, Delis no longer had the confidence he had before.

It would be nice if Aesop Green could bear the pressure with him.

Aesop did not turn around: "Just cut off the hand that crosses the boundary."
