Chapter 901 Security Department Meeting
The bright moon is hanging in the west, and the bustling traffic in the city throughout the day has finally subsided. But even at this time, New York, a modern metropolis, still has many brightly lit office buildings, such as the financial mecca of the Muggle world. , which stretches from Broadway to Wall Street on the East River, including the twin towers of the World Trade Center where Amosta and Rhimes lived.
And, of course, the Woolworth Building, home to the Magical Congress of the United States of America.
However, the No-Majs looked at the building in total darkness from the outside, and had no idea that a large and special group was working all night to solve the incident that happened in New York tonight.
On the floor where the security department is located, an emergency meeting is being held.
"At present, we have completed the disguise of the accident scene. No-Majs will believe that the explosion was caused by the aging wires of the building."
In the low-pressure conference room, an Auror stood up and stepped out. Graves, whose face was as dark as water, said,
"Thankfully, the explosion happened from the rooftop, so no No-Majs witnessed the magic."
Graves nodded, and the reporting Auror continued,
"In addition, Amosta Brain provided us with information. He speculated that the cause of this incident was an error in the transaction of the poisonous leopards smuggled into the country between the two parties."
Newt Scamander strongly requested that he take care of the poisonous leopard smuggled into the country, but the Department of Security could not allow such a dangerous creature to fall into the hands of individuals, especially the magical beast hidden in New York's Central Park. There have been several missing incidents of magical creatures with 5X dangerous levels in the animal sanctuary.
Hearing Amosta Brain's name, some commotion broke out in the originally solemn and repressive conference room. Graves knocked on the table with his finger, and the rising commotion was immediately suppressed.
"On what basis did he make this inference?"
Graves looked at the wizard who was reporting, his slightly narrowed eyes showing a flash of vigilance.
"According to Amosta Brain, the person who brought the poisonous leopard into the country was an Asian. Because he entered the country at the same time, he had some images of the wizard. We have verified this from the Immigration Management Department. According to the information, from the entry application he submitted, we found that his name is Sato Ryuhei and he is 37 years old.
Sato Ryuhei stayed in a Muggle hotel after entering the country, and this evening he came to the Blind Pig Bar via No-Maj transportation. Amosta Brain recognized this person. But Ryuhei Sato did not stay at the Blind Pig Bar. After meeting the two wizards involved in the transaction, the three of them left the bar together. The incident happened next.
We found fragments of the black suitcase that Ryuhei Sato brought into the country from the scene. We can basically confirm that the information provided by Amosta Brain is accurate. Of course, we also found a few guys who were hanging out in the Blind Pig Bar at the time, and they also confirmed that Sato Ryuhei briefly appeared in the bar, but soon left with others. "
"Why didn't the people at the Immigration Administration discover that this Japanese was bringing dangerous creatures into the country?"
The frowning Auror who had appeared at the scene of the fight between Amosta and the Poison Leopard asked angrily,
"This is undoubtedly a very serious work error."
"Oh, you can't actually say that, Ariel."
Next to the wizard who reported the report, another capable-looking witch said,
"Steven Adams of the Immigration Administration is my classmate. He is a responsible and careful wizard, but when I found him to ask about the Japanese, he was confused and had no impression. I guess, Sato Long Ping may have used a confusion spell on him."
This behavior undoubtedly violated another taboo that must not be touched. The meeting room was filled with anger. But this time, Graves did not suppress the anger of his subordinates. He was thoughtful about something until everyone had almost vented their anger. , and asked again,
"How much information do we currently have about the two wizards who traded with Sato Ryuhei?"
The wizard who reported the report touched his nose awkwardly.
"The few guys we caught who appeared in the Blind Pig Bar have no memory of the two wizards who dealt with Sato Ryuhei. Of course, if you are willing to issue a permission order, we can extract it from the memories of these people. The appearance of those two people.”
"Then let's do it."
Graves said calmly, and the wizard who reported it looked as if he had been granted amnesty. He did not expect that Mr. Graves would let him go so lightly.
"So, Ariel."
Graves turned to him;
"You were one of the first people to arrive at the scene of the battle between Amosta and his companions and the Poison Leopard, right? Tell us what you saw."
"Oh, that scene was absolutely wonderful!"
Errel stood up excitedly and told his immediate superiors and colleagues who missed the big scene tonight about what he saw. Under his vivid description, he listened to the people's breathing gradually become heavier, their eyes were excited, and they gradually revealed Incredible expression.
Of course, there are also some people whose expressions turned solemn after listening, such as Selena Hilde, who just defended her classmate who made a mistake at work.
"You mean-"
Selina interrupted Ariel's repeated description, frowning,
"Brain's companions basically didn't provide any effective help. He was dealing with an adult poisonous leopard by himself?"
"No wand used at all?"
Graves also frowned fiercely.
"That's right. Oh, of course. After the Nundul escaped from the Muggle railway, Amosta Blaine seemed determined to deal with the threat quickly. He borrowed the wand from Amelia at the immigration office. I heard that the little girl is one of ours now?"
Eriel asked with a blink.
Graves did not answer, he still frowned.
He decided to take Amosta Blaine's wand because a great wizard is a huge destabilizing factor and can cause too much damage, but he did not expect that Amosta Blaine could show such strength even without the wand in his hand.
Graves lowered his head and thought deeply, his face hidden in the shadow under the light, and no one noticed the sinister flash in his eyes.
This is really a difficult thing to do. Taking Blaine's wand and having someone follow him is the limit of what can be done within a reasonable range. He can't order people to lock up Amosta Blaine.
"How is Amelia?"
After a long silence, Graves suddenly asked.
"She suffered some trauma and accidentally inhaled a trace amount of the Nundu panther's poison. We have sent her to St. Josiah's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. I'm afraid she will have to stay there for a few days."
Eriel shrugged and said,
"Poor newcomer."
Then, for the Security Department, what to do now is very clear.
Thanks to Amosta Blaine's great help, the Nundu panther did not cause too much damage. Some No-Maj who witnessed Amosta Blaine fighting the Nundu panther on the railway track and Central Park have been properly dealt with. The next goal of the Aurors is to find the two parties who traded the Nundu panther.
"What do you think--"
When the action meeting was about to end, Selina suddenly said,
"What do the two guys who bought the Nangdu leopard from Sato Ryuhei want to do? This dangerous creature, will it be related to the magical creatures that have disappeared in the nearest nature reserve?"
"No matter what the truth is."
Graves stood up and said expressionlessly,
"We have to find the suspect first."
After saying this, he strode out of the meeting room.
"Oh, this is not normal,"
Eriel looked at his boss's back and said with a little surprise,
"I thought Mr. Graves would give us a deadline to find the suspect."
