Tom Riddle and Vince Lord followed Sebastian. When the four of them hurried to the crime scene, there were already many people gathered at the door of the room.

This group of people were talking in low voices with people they knew, and their eyes were still glancing towards the door.

Every time he glanced at her, he looked disgusted, and then continued to peek after a while.

One of the people who were peeking in was disgusted by the bloody scene in the room.

Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed Vince Lord and Tom Riddle walking towards him quickly.

There were a few wizards around him who were not very familiar with him and were still whispering. Seeing this, he quickly scolded them a few times.

After a while, everyone else around fell silent.

The reporters waiting in the reception room were now crowded at the door and it seemed that they had taken quite a few photos.

Walking up to Sebastian and whispering a few words to him, Wenxiu Lord forced a curl of his lips, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to speak to everyone present in a calm and gentle tone.

"I'm sorry everyone, I think none of us will be able to leave this manor in the short term."

The people around had always thought that the wizard was killed by Wenxiu Lord. After hearing what he said, everyone present realized that something was wrong.

As the director of the Law Enforcement Department, Barty Crouch arrived at the scene as soon as he heard the screams.

He even used a detection spell to give the scene a rough inspection.

The result was that no clear evidence was found pointing to who the murderer was.

He walked out of the crowd with a serious expression, and looked at Wenxiu Lord as if he was examining a murderer.

"Mr. Lord, what do you mean by that?"

Tom Riddle was currently wearing a similar style of housecoat to that of Venthu Lord.

The light brown base made him look gentle and elegant, but the expression on the man's face at this moment was frighteningly cold.

He stood beside Vince Lord, confronting Barty Crouch silently.

Vince Lord has been to the interrogation room of the Ministry of Magic. Would he be afraid of such a small scene?

Patting Tom Riddle's arm soothingly, Vincent Lord straightened the corners of his lips and looked at Barty Crouch.

"Of course we are looking for the murderer. Could it be that Mr. Crouch thinks that I killed this man?"

Although he wanted to kill the wizard, he always adhered to the principle of killing without shedding blood, let alone making the man scream.

On the way here, he listened to Sebastian's account of what happened.

After sending the people to the guest room, Sebastian went to make arrangements for the reporters.

Just as they escorted the reporters to the reception room and closed the door, they heard a heart-wrenching scream in the corridor.

The guests' rooms are on the second floor, while the reception room is on the first floor.

When Sebastian arrived, several people had already gathered at the door.

Hearing what Wenxiu Lord said, everyone around except Tom Riddle, including the Death Eaters, said in their hearts, "Who else but you?"

Barty Crouch in front of him twisted his eyebrows into a "川" shape, and the meaning of his expression was very clear, "I doubt you very much."

Wenxiu Lord never expected that one day he would become the object of everyone's suspicion, which made him start to doubt himself.

"He just said something that offended me. It's true that I'm a little angry, but I don't want to kill him."

At least not now.

The silver-haired boy spread his hands and said, "I fell asleep after I changed my clothes. My fiancé stayed with me the whole time."

It was then that everyone saw the irregular red marks on Wenxiu Lord's face that were not obvious but did exist, caused by pressure from falling asleep.

"Besides, we were the last ones to leave. There are people in the banquet hall who left late who can testify that the free time after we left minus the time to change clothes was not enough."

"The most important point is that today is my engagement party. Who would kill someone at their own engagement party?"

The expression on the silver-haired boy's face was no longer gentle. His sharp eyebrows were like sharp blades, and his aura and magic power spread out around him, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe.

Barty Crouch is a serious and decisive man, but that doesn't mean he would be so stubborn as to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Judging from the time and movement route, if Wenxiu Lord did not lie, then he is really innocent.

"I sincerely apologize for any malicious assumptions I made about you."

Barty Crouch bowed decisively and apologized, going over in his mind the people he had encountered when he arrived at the crime scene.

The silver-haired boy had a restrained aura around him, and soon returned to his gentle appearance that everyone was familiar with.

Now that Wenxiu Lord's suspicion has been reduced, others can no longer remain calm.

He didn't kill the man, which means there is a murderer hiding in the crowd.

For a moment, the sound of conversations once again rang out among the quiet crowd.

Only this time, there was a hint of uneasiness in the conversation.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, and also to stabilize the emotions of everyone present.

Wenxiu Lord waved to Sebastian who appeared behind him again, and said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone. I, Wenxiu Lord, swear on my own name that I will protect your personal safety. Now please go back to your rooms."

Since he said so, these people have to leave even if they don't want to.

The crowd dispersed, but Barty Crouch remained where he was. Vince Lord had no intention of sending him away, and signaled Sebastian to just tell him what he had found out.

"Return home, Kevona is not the murderer, and there is no sign that his memory has been modified by anyone."

"Okay, I understand. Go find those reporters and delete the photos they shouldn't have taken."

After instructing Sebastian, Vincent Lord looked at Barty Crouch. "Mr. Crouch should have checked the scene. Tell me what you found?"

Barty Crouch had always admired Vince Lord, and now that he knew he had misunderstood him, he didn't hide it.

"I just did a cursory check. Judging from the size and depth of the footprints, the murderer should be a woman."

"And the murderer should have killed the person directly with the weapon in hand. I did not detect any traces of magic at the scene. Not only that, the murderer also wiped off the handprints on the weapon and the footprints on the ground after killing the person."

Every time Barty Crouch finished speaking a piece of information, the expression on his face became more serious.

The reason was simple: there was no woman among the people he saw when he arrived at the scene.

“Any more will require more careful testing.”

After listening to the known information, "Maybe I can help you check it together? Maybe I can help you get more clues." Wenxiu Lord asked without giving any room for rejection.

He wanted to see who was brave enough to snatch the person he was about to kill.

"Yes, it is fine. It's just that the scene is a bit bloody. I don't mind Mr. Lord getting involved."

After all, in Barty Crouch's eyes, Vinci Lord was still a child, and he hesitated at the end.

"It's nothing, believe me." Wenxiu Lord said without waiting for Barty Crouch to reply, and took Tom Riddle's arm, "My lover is by my side, which will give me endless strength."

Tom Riddle took his hand and they both walked into the room.

Barty Crouch watched the two of them passing by and couldn't help but say in his heart, "What a loving couple."
