Chapter 113 Malfoy in trouble
"Save a life?" The expression on Matthew's face looked a little confused.
However, if someone who is very familiar with him is here, it can be easily seen that his confused expression is obviously fake.
Of course, Minister Barnold must not know.
She said with a serious face: "Generally, extreme magic items that are smuggled into England are extremely dangerous. No matter how many protective magic or protective props the owner puts on its surface, it cannot eliminate this danger. ...For the wizards responsible for the transshipment, especially those who do not understand the danger, such risks are terrifying!"
As she spoke, she took out a pocket photo from her coat pocket.
"This wizard's name is Juan Koos. He worked briefly at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore last August..." Minister Barnold introduced.
Matthew frowned slightly because he recognized the person in the photo... Just a year ago, when he ventured to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to inquire about things, the clerk who rudely kicked him out of the bookstore , that’s the wizard in the photo!
"And in early September, he was fired from Flourish and Blott Bookstore for reasons." Minister Barnold continued to explain: "Then in mid-October, he was admitted to St. Mungo's Magic Hospital because he contracted a strange disease. The hospital; and after only three days in the hospital, he passed away... It is said that the appearance of his death was extremely horrifying, and he kept shouting itching before he died; almost no trace of normal skin was left on the skin all over his body. Meat……"
"...The healers at St. Mungo's could not give any explanation for the cause of his death; and some Aurors who were proficient in extreme magic easily recognized that he died due to the influence of extreme magic on the mysterious side... But Aurors After searching Mr. Koos's residence, the Luos did not find anything related to extreme magic..."
"...At that time, I was already a little suspicious of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, but I couldn't find any evidence...and after I received your letter in the morning, I immediately connected this smuggling incident with Koos's death. We are connected...so now, I have to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Wakefield!"
Minister Barnold's tone was very polite.
"This is what I should do, Minister!" Matthew responded quickly.
There was not much fluctuation in his heart.
There was something wrong with the smuggling process, as Mr. Shafiq had guessed when he found him in the morning.
Matthew knows very well the principle that you get what you pay for.
Lucius Malfoy is willing to pay a high price of 3,000 to 5,000 Galleons for the transshipment of goods, so there is only one possibility... Only Mr. Shafik knows how to purchase the goods he wants, and the transportation process is extremely dangerous!
And Mr. Shafiq is willing to bring along himself, an underage wizard who is a "oil bottle", in the process of transferring goods. It must not be for charity, but must have his own purpose.
Therefore, Matthew Wakefield already knew that if he followed Mr. Shafiq to transport goods foolishly, he would inevitably face extremely bad risks.
Otherwise, why would Matthew write a letter and report to Minister Barnold.
Mr. Shafiq plays "smuggling" and has nothing to do with Matthew...
It's a pity that the minister himself doesn't know who "Tom Gunter" is... and it's not easy for him to find out the origin of the things in the box.
In other words, a thread that was finally found is now broken again.
"Minister." Matthew stood up and asked, "I feel that my body has almost recovered. Can I leave the Ministry of Magic? Or do I still have to go through some procedures?"
"No need, Mr. Wakefield." Minister Barnold shook his head generously: "You have done a good enough job, just leave the rest to us... Flourish and Blotts Bookstore has now been sealed by the Aurors. , if you want to pick up your stuff there, I can give you one of my business cards.”
"thank you very much!"
……
Putting aside the situation at the Ministry of Magic, the atmosphere in Malfoy Manor has become a bit unoptimistic.
It was late at night, and Lucius Malfoy looked like an ant on a hot pot, walking endlessly by the fountain of the manor.
Mr. Malfoy is very anxious now because the house elf he sent out has not returned yet...according to normal time, it should have returned here a quarter of an hour ago.
"Could it be Dobby, the idiot, and..." Malfoy thought secretly.
But he quickly shook his head and gave up the idea.
Although he despised house elves from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that Dobby, the house elf, never had any accidents when doing things for him...
Or maybe something went wrong with the plan itself?
At this moment, Mr. Malfoy suddenly became more anxious.
Suddenly, a crisp explosion sounded in the air
Then, a short and ugly monster that looked like a bat spirit appeared in front of Lucius Malfoy... It raised its head and looked at it timidly with its protruding, tennis ball-sized eyes. owner.
"What's going on?" Mr. Malfoy couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly bent down and asked.
"The master ordered Dobby to go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore...Bad Dobby...Bad Dobby..." the house elf stammered while banging his head on the floor crazily.
"That's enough!" Malfoy frowned in disgust: "What happened next..."
"...Dobby didn't find the wooden box at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore... Dobby thought it hadn't arrived yet, so Dobby waited... Dobby waited for half an hour, and suddenly heard a strange sound... Dobby Dobby thought it was Mr. Shafik from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore who came back. Dobby was very happy at the time...Dobby found out that the person who broke in was actually an Auror...Dobby was frightened and ran away quickly...Dobby was bad. Worse than… Dobby… Bad Dobby…”
The house elf said incoherently, while punishing himself desperately.
At this moment, Mr. Malfoy's expression suddenly changed.
"The Aurors went to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. It's obvious that Shafiq's behavior has been exposed... and he may expose himself at any time!"
Malfoy quickly helped up the house elf who was kneeling on the ground: "Dobby, I order you to stop punishing yourself... In the smallest room in the basement of the manor, there is a box with a snake painted on it... You can do it now Go, take that box to Draco's Aunt Bellatrix's house..."
"...Then, you go find that adult and tell him that the situation has changed and that the goods have been robbed by the Ministry of Magic..."
Before Mr. Lucius Malfoy finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang" coming from the gate of the manor!
Someone is trying to break into Malfoy Manor.
