Chapter 617 Four Suspects

"You shouldn't ask me this, Hals! As a warrior, Harry needs to solve this problem on his own... Don't expect me to help you cheat!" Moody grinned and said playfully.

Ivan glanced at Moody, thought about it, and then continued to ask. "Then you said before that you were tracking down the person who put Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire. Did you have any doubts about the person?"

"There are four people who are very suspicious!" Moody smacked his lips and answered Ivan's question while walking towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

"The first one is Karkaroff you just met. You may not know that he was a Death Eater before and did a lot of bad things. I personally sent him to Azkaban!"

"Originally, according to his crime, he should have spent the rest of his life in Azkaban with the dementors. But he reached an agreement with Crouch, who was the director of the Enforcement Department at the time, and relied on providing Death Eater personnel. The list was exempted from prison sentence..."

"Then why did he, a former Death Eater, become the principal of Durmstrang?" Ivan was very surprised by this question.

"Because he has become notorious in the British magic world and no one wants to see him, so this guy fled to Northern Europe. As for how he became the principal, I don't know. Maybe it's because not many people there know about him. Past events!" Moody shook his head and explained.

Ivan thought for a while and sorted out the information Moody gave him in his mind.

He actually thought that Karkaroff's suspicion was not serious.

After all, this guy is an out-and-out traitor. When Voldemort is weak, he may not dare to believe him.

Moreover, Karkaroff's performance during this period was no different from that of the original time and space, and he even planned to lower their scores and make them lose the game.

"What about the remaining three suspects?" Ivan ruled out Karkaroff's suspicion in his heart, looked at Moody, and continued to ask.

"The second one is Snape!" Moody squinted his eyes, and the sound of wooden legs hitting the ground continued to echo in the corridor, and his words were mixed in.

"Like Karkaroff, he was once a Death Eater, but Dumbledore saved him.

In addition, I have obtained some information at school these days. Many people told me that Snape has been targeting Harry in recent school years. If someone really wants to kill Harry, he is the most suspicious candidate. "

No, he is the least doubtful candidate!

Ivan rolled his eyes and did not agree with Moody's statement, but he also understood that in the eyes of outsiders, Snape was indeed the number one suspect in Harry's murder.

"As for the third suspect—" Moody drawled, hesitantly.

The two of them walked all the way and arrived at the office of the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Moody took out the key, opened the door of the office, and strode in.

"You haven't told me yet, who is it?" Ivan secretly clenched the wand and walked in, pretending to be relaxed.

But when he walked into the office, Ivan's brows frowned, and there was a faint stench inside.

After taking a closer look, Ivan realized that the entire Defense Against the Dark Arts office was very messy. There were various documents, newspapers, and all kinds of strange small objects piled on the table. A few clothes that hadn't had time to be washed were also hung here. .

"Oh, it's time to clean up. I've been busy with classes and investigations these days, and I haven't had much time to sort out these things..." Moody looked a little embarrassed, and he quickly walked aside and opened the window. He drove up, then waved his wand and pointed it inside the house.

"Clean up!"

As Moody recited the spell, the wind of magic swept through the office. The documents and newspapers scattered around floated up and were stuffed into drawers one by one under the influence of an inexplicable force.

A large number of strange little creatures crawled out from the gaps between tables and chairs, and were swept up and thrown out of the window by the magical wind. Also swept away was the strange smell...

Taking advantage of this time, Ivan looked around in the office.

The most eye-catching thing here is a huge mirror. It is hung on the wall opposite the door, but it cannot reflect the scene in the room.

On the contrary, there were many figures dangling in the mirror, and one figure was already standing very close, as if he could walk out of the mirror if he took a few more steps.

There was a golden antenna-like thing placed on the corner of the small table next to it, which was making a buzzing sound.

Ivan took a few glances and found several warning devices in succession. He couldn't help but feel glad that he hadn't rushed in to investigate Moody before, otherwise he would have been discovered.

Then, Ivan's eyes focused on several boxes placed in the office...

"The third suspect is Barty Crouch!"

When Ivan was thinking about how to find a reason to open the box and confirm, Moody's voice suddenly came over.

"What?" Ivan was stunned, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Moody with surprise and suspicion.

After a while, Ivan asked calmly. "Why? Isn't Mr. Crouch a senior official in the Ministry of Magic? He is also the former Director of Operations. You just told me that he tried many Death Eaters and imprisoned them in Azkaban. What reason did he have to kill them? profit?"

"I don't know about this, but from the information I've learned, Crouch's recent state is very wrong!" Moody walked quickly to Ivan with a cane.

"I heard from Bagman that Crouch has not been in Hogwarts Castle these days. I thought at first that he had gone back to the Ministry of Magic to handle matters, but I asked the people in the Communication Department and they didn't see him. To Crouch!”

"This is very interesting! Crouch, as the organizer of this Triwizard Tournament, is now missing and his movements are unknown..." Moody's expression was solemn.

Ivan nodded, so it seemed that Barty Crouch was indeed very suspicious.

He did not forget that the two fathers and sons had the same name. If Barty Jr. pretended to be his father, he could successfully deceive the Marauder's Map because the names displayed on it were exactly the same.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Crouch disappeared for a long time and was killed by someone!

"What about the last suspected candidate?" Ivan calmed down and asked.

"He's here, isn't he?" Moody's words became a little erratic, and the magic eye stared at Ivan tightly.

"You doubt me?" Ivan looked at Moody dissatisfied.

"Don't blame me for being cautious, Hals. In fact, your suspicion is no less than others. You successfully crossed the age line that night, didn't you? You had enough time to do something about the Goblet of Fire..." Moody said nothing. He questioned mercilessly.
