Chapter 1001: Clumsy Auror Tonks
To be honest, the Muggles who committed the murders behind the disappearances are actually quite easy to find.
Because most of them felt unusual remorse and fear for the evil deeds they did in a "moment of confusion" after they regained their nature, so they basically stayed near the crime scene afterwards.
So, if the Aurors want to find them. In fact, you only need to go to the local police station and the like and wander around in turn.
It was noon now, and Tonks, an Auror, was walking on the busy street. As far as her attire is not much different from modern rebellious girls, she can easily blend into the Muggle crowd, and even the ability of Transfiguration Magus can be completely ignored.
"Oh, after this trip, it's time to eat something to fill your stomach..."
While walking, Tonks lightly touched his somewhat empty belly, feeling that he could eat a whole fire dragon in a short while.
"...Well, I went to Black's old house for lunch today!"
After thinking about it, she suddenly muttered softly at a volume that only she could hear.
Obviously, the reason why Tonks chose the old house was to meet Lupine who stayed there most of the time to handle intelligence.
Their couple, whose age gap is slightly larger, has become more and more affectionate in recent years.
Of course, although Tonks is always very enthusiastic about the love she chose, she is still a very responsible Auror. After temporarily putting aside the passion in her heart, she changed her mind again and again, and accelerated her pace of progress with a serious attitude.
More than ten minutes ago, she apparated into an uninhabited alley in this block—according to the documents kept by the Auror office, there are a total of four police stations, one big and three small, in this block.
And this time,
According to Kingsley's assignment, she was responsible for investigating three of the small sub-bureaus, and sent the specific criminals on the list to the Ministry of Magic dungeon without the Muggle police noticing.
In fact, the task was so urgent today that most of the Ministry of Magic Aurors had already been dispatched. Like her, Nymphadora Tonks, is just one of them.
"is it here?"
Looking up at the blue streetlight representing the British Police Department, Tonks did not choose to sneak in through the main entrance, but turned right naturally to leave the crowd, and turned into a side alley.
Most of the buildings in this block are made of red bricks, and they are very clean. Even in the lanes where no one walks, it can be seen that there are cleaners cleaning them every day.
Following the alley all the way to the back door of the police station, Tonks looked around and at some of the windows above. After confirming that there was no one there, he took out his wand and quickly pointed towards a closed grille window.
"Click."
After a soft click of the window button falling off, she flicked her wand left and right twice again, causing the iron bars blocking the window to fall to the sides like softened spaghetti.
This is the most basic use of transfiguration, and even Hogwarts students in the lower and middle grades can easily do it. As an Auror especially good at Transfiguration, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
When the window hole was wide open and there was no obstacle, Tonks immediately reached out and grabbed the iron fence that had become hard again, and jumped into the room nimbly with just one abdomen and kick.
She had seen it just now, it was just an old room full of filing cabinets. Judging from her experience working in the Ministry of Magic for the past few years, it should be an ordinary archive room with old materials.
"There's really no one."
After entering, Tonks looked around again, and then waved his half-raised wand backhand, restoring the bent iron fence to its original state.
However, the fact that there is no one in the old archives does not mean that there are no guards outside. As soon as he walked lightly to the back of the door, Tonks heard the voices of two people talking alternately through the crack of the door.
"...Abel, it's almost lunch time again. I heard that today's lunch has changed to another fast food restaurant. I don't know if their fries are crispy or not."
"Hey! Don't keep thinking about eating—are you really planning to just sit here and watch over the files from now on?"
"Otherwise, what else can I do? I've been put here to fool around. Do you still want to get promoted? Don't be stupid. When you sit here for two or three years like me, you will start thinking about lunch too." .”
"I don't think... Listen, Abel! I heard when I went to collect files from the special case team that the number of cases in all London districts has been increasing recently, and there are almost not enough cubicles for people. Think about it , even if it’s changing to guard the suspect, it’s much better than discussing lunch and getting off work here all day..."
After only listening to a few words, Tonks was not ready to listen any more.
Although they also happened to chat about their mission, she already knew what she should know, so she didn't need to get information from these more uninformed Muggles.
After roughly figuring out where the two were, Tonks quietly turned the doorknob and lowered his head slightly.
There is a corridor outside the file, and the two police officers in charge of guarding are sitting at the entrance of the corridor not far away, and there seem to be some sundries such as notebooks on the table.
When it comes to camouflage, Tonks is good at it, but when it comes to stealth, she can only sigh to herself.
Knowing that it would be very difficult for her to pass by those two police officers without being noticed, she simply waved her wand and made them fall asleep on the table in advance.
After that, she went to the entrance of the corridor, and carefully looked out a few more times. Unexpectedly, someone outside happened to pass by the other end, walking towards the direction of the stairs.
"Oh!"
With a secret cry in his heart, Tonks hastily withdrew his gaze and hid to the side.
Otherwise, why is she always unable to perform tasks alone! In desperation, she committed the careless mistake of not paying attention to details again—she accidentally touched the thermos cup on the table when she was stepping back.
Seeing that the cup was about to fall under the table, Tonks hastily reached out his wand, and a silent levitation spell stopped almost before the cup fell to the ground.
"It's okay, it's okay... It's rare that Kingsley is willing to let me try it alone this time, so I can't screw it up again!"
Just like back in Black's old house, almost every time she went back to the kitchen, she would startle the portrait of Sirius' mother. Either the cloth covering it was rubbed off by her, or she kicked the wooden frame next to the wall, or even fell on the ground.
It can be seen that although her magic talent is good, she is really not suitable for stealth or tracking. Being able to become this Auror is really the result of her unremitting efforts.
Controlling the thermos and putting it back on the table, Tonks dared to glance out again.
After confirming that there was really no one left, several expulsion Muggle curses that controlled the range fell to the nearby corridors and passages one after another, allowing her to ensure the smoothness of her follow-up actions.
Fortunately, this time it was a simple task in the Muggle world. If she had been in the wizarding world, she would have been discovered by other wizards long ago.
In this way, Tonks searched everywhere in the police station in the same manner, and finally found a row of rooms used for detention.
Just like what the police officer said before, the frequent occurrence of cases caused every room here to be filled with people, and some even had two people living there.
Probably in order to prevent the suspects from conflicting, they were all handcuffed to one side of the room.
After driving away the guarding police officers, Tonks was finally able to open the iron gate and gather the Muggle suspects together, and disappeared from the corridor of the police station with the help of the portkey.
As for the rest of the mess, leave it to the follow-up amnestics to worry about!
But Tonks, who just left here just now, didn't realize at all that her actions fell into the eyes of one person from the beginning to the end. When she led the group of Muggles away from the police station, a rather familiar figure suddenly appeared at the corner outside the corridor.
"Cough cough cough...what's the matter with this Auror, he is always so procrastinating when dealing with Muggles..."
Obviously, this was the mysterious windbreaker wizard who had met Maca, Little Cathy, and even Hai Erbo. Although it always gives people the feeling that they know a lot, but this time they don't seem to know Tonks, but treat her as an ordinary Auror.
But after muttering softly, the person said again:
"Forget it... anyway, has Mr. McLean noticed?"
Looking at the empty detention rooms, I don't know what kind of expression was shown on the face hidden in the shadow of the brim of the hat. However, a few more coughs were heard, and the slightly heavy breathing proved that the physical condition of this "false prophet" was really not very good.
After a short while, after thinking for a while, the man nodded slightly as if he was sure.
"Well, I believe that with his wisdom, he should understand all the meanings I conveyed indirectly. If this is the case, there is no need to continue to create the disappearance case... Cough cough, spare more time, and you can prepare more backup."
After sorting out his thoughts like this, the figure standing in the corner suddenly faded away quickly, and he disappeared again in just the blink of an eye.
As for whether this person stayed in the same place or left directly, no one can know.
Leaving aside the mysterious wizard Maca secretly called the "False Prophet", actions similar to Tonks' mission are being staged in various police stations in and around London.
Of course, many experienced Aurors were much more efficient than the slightly clumsy Tonks. Only in the evening of that day, there were many more Muggle suspects in the dungeon of the Ministry of Magic who were sent to be kept under surveillance.
No, in fact, they are all victims too... aren't they?
