Chapter 942 The Scene Reappears!
After listening to Percy's description, Ivan hesitated for a while, looked around at the crowd, and asked. "Who was the first person to find the body besides Percy?"
"It's...it's me!" A witch in the crowd stood up in fear and said in embarrassment under Ivan's gaze. "I happened to meet my friends here tonight, and unexpectedly I bumped into this gentleman..."
"Meet? With whom? And why do you have to come to such a remote place?" Ivan asked.
"I just... I just happened to pass by here." The witch said hesitantly.
"I hope you can tell the truth, madam!" Ivan's face suddenly darkened. The place where Minister Igor died was in the corner corridor on the third floor. It was located very secretly. Normally, no one would come here deliberately. Just pass here.
Just when the witch was confused by Ivan's questioning, a middle-aged wizard suddenly stood up and spoke angrily. "That's enough, I'm the one who came to her. We plan to meet here and talk some words. What's wrong? This is our private matter and has nothing to do with this case!"
Ivan's eyes immediately turned to the middle-aged wizard. Judging from his face and the emotional fluctuations detected by Legilimency, he was probably telling the truth.
Some of the wizards who were watching quickly recognized the identity of the middle-aged wizard, who was a senior member of the Magical Congress of North America.
The most important thing is that this senior congressman has a family in their impression, but now he has an appointment with a young witch from another country to meet in such a secret place. Even if you think on your knees, you can guess that these two people are probably here. Cheating.
Probably because she couldn't stand the gossipy eyes of everyone, the witch quickly pointed at Percy and broke the news. "A few minutes ago, when I first arrived here, I saw Mr. Percy squatting in front of the corpse. It looked like he was destroying the corpse..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention immediately turned to Percy. Compared with the common gossip of a senior congressman cheating on him and having an affair, it was more important to catch the culprit.
Without waiting for Conor and others to question, Percy quickly explained that when he saw Minister Igor lying on the ground, he was stunned. He panicked for a moment and squatted down just to explore Igor. The minister's breathing was just to confirm whether he was still alive.
"I know there's only so much... I really didn't do this. Minister Igor's death has nothing to do with me!"
Percy spoke eagerly, but then he remembered those Aurors and detected traces of the Death Curse on his wand. His words suddenly changed and he spoke again. "Maybe someone knocked me out and then used my wand to kill Minister Igor, or... the Imperius Curse. Yes, I might also be controlled by the Imperius Curse..."
"Who can prove this?" The Russian wizard interrupted Percy's defense without hesitation, grabbed his collar and said sternly. "This is just your one-sided statement. Who knows if you are lying and trying to use this to get away with it. We all know that the Soul Imperius Curse cannot be detected at all..."
As he spoke, the Russian wizard was so excited that he wanted to punch Percy in the face. However, just as he was about to hit him, his body suddenly became limp, as if he had no bones and could only Under the force of gravity, Percy fell to the ground, and the two of them rolled into a ball.
The sudden abnormality startled the wizards present, and they almost thought it was another attack.
Conor guessed something. When he turned to look at Ivan, in his knowledge, apart from Grindelwald, he was the only one who could release [Relaxation of Strength] without a spell and instantly subdue an adult wizard. That genius from England is Ivan Hals.
"Who...who did this?" The Russian wizard's face turned red. He tried hard to get up from the ground, but his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't exert any strength at all.
"Sir, I can understand your mood, but please calm down. Anger can't solve any problems!" Ivan put down his raised hand, and then looked at the men on the other side who were glaring at him. Wu, continued to speak.
"I don't know much about Minister Igor's situation, but judging from Director Conall's description, he must be a great wizard. Killing him silently is by no means easy."
"As far as I know, there is only one wizard who has the ability and reason to do such a thing." Ivan added.
"You mean..." Conor frowned.
"Gellert Grindelwald!" Ivan said slowly. "Don't forget that the purpose of us convening this meeting is to fight against him together. He has sufficient reasons to kill Minister Igor, frame the blame on Percy, and provoke a fight between us..."
"This is impossible! We have tested every wizard who enters Congress. There is no way he can sneak in!" Conor shook his head and retorted.
Decades ago, Grindelwald had tricked them in disguise, so naturally they would not be on guard against this meeting of wizards.
In fact, a very concealed protective spell is set up at the entrance of Magical Congress. If someone attempts to use polyjuice potion, Animagus, or other transformation magic to mix it up, the opponent will be killed the moment he enters the door. The original shape appears directly.
"Are you sure this protective magic is foolproof? What if someone comes in through other methods? For example...the fireplace?" Ivan said in confusion.
"As you can imagine, we can naturally imagine that all the fireplaces in the Congress have been closed in advance, and space magic cannot be used here! In other words, anyone who wants to enter or exit can only go through that door!" Wilkinson Shen Sheng responded.
"What about the Aurors and goblins who were originally in the Congress?" Ivan suddenly asked.
The Aurors responsible for maintaining order all showed unkind looks on their faces, and one of the leading Aurors said extremely dissatisfied. "Are you doubting us?"
"I'm just talking about a possibility." Ivan said noncommittally.
Wilkinson looked at Minister Igor who fell on the ground, then at the excited Russian wizards, and said decisively. "I will check everyone thoroughly!"
Ivan nodded and was about to say something more when the dense crowd was suddenly separated. Several wizards in gorgeous costumes quickly walked to Igor's body. After deliberation for a while, they They all waved their wands and chanted in unison.
"The scene reappears!"
