Chapter 945 Clues and Five Keys
After Percy was captured by two Aurors, the crowd gathered in the corridor gradually dispersed.
However, this attack still left a big shadow in the hearts of many guests. The dignified Russian minister, the head of a magical country, died silently in a remote corner. The murderer may be the famous Dark Lord. Grindelwald.
These two points combined make it uneasy to sleep!
If Wilkinson had not repeatedly assured them that the North American Congress would send additional personnel to protect the safety of all of them, I am afraid that some wizard elites who are greedy for life and fear of death would have left and ran away.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Conor, who had finished the interrogation, went to the minister's office exhausted to report on his work.
"Have you found any clues through the investigation?" Wilkinson asked, sitting at the head of the office, tapping his fingers on the wooden table.
Conor shook his head. After taking the Veritaserum, Percy said everything he should and shouldn't say, but unfortunately they didn't get any new clues.
"I have also sent people to investigate the Aurors and goblins who have been responsible for guarding recently, and there are no problems with them!" Conor added.
"That's strange. It seems like someone didn't sneak into the Magic Congress in advance." Wilkinson spoke slowly. "In other words, Grindelwald was probably hidden among the guests and used some method to avoid the magic detection at the door..."
At this point, Wilkinson suddenly paused, then looked at Conor and spoke again. "No, maybe there is another possibility..."
Another possibility? Conor frowned, not quite understanding what Wilkinson meant.
"Do you think someone deliberately used Grindelwald's name to kill the Russian minister and take the key from him?" Wilkinson said his guess word by word.
Hearing this, Conor was obviously stunned for a moment, and then broke into a cold sweat.
Indeed, there is no evidence to prove that Grindelwald did this. All they can confirm is that a powerful wizard controlled Percy Weasley and used him to kill Minister Igor. .
Besides Grindelwald, in his impression, there was another person who had the ability to do the same thing!
"Are you doubting Ivan Hals? But I tried it before, and the other party doesn't seem to know about the key..." Conor said in a thoughtful voice.
Although he also had some doubts in his heart, Conor didn't want to...or he didn't want to believe that this matter was related to Ivan Hals.
Because that represents the worst-case scenario - today's magical world cannot withstand the ravages of two dark demons.
"The results of one or two trials don't mean anything. Maybe it's just a disguise. Anyway, we can't rule out this possibility... Don't forget that Percy Weasley is a wizard in England. Ivan Hals has many opportunities to He cast the Imperius Curse," Wilkinson said emphatically.
"I understand, Your Excellency Chairman, I will send additional manpower for surveillance." Conor nodded. As the person in charge of this case, he will naturally not be affected by personal emotions, even if the possibility is not high. You must also be on guard.
…
At the same time, in the private bedroom of the lounge, the worried Pierce looked at Ivan and spoke after shooing away Delis and others.
"Grindelwald is obviously targeting us, otherwise he wouldn't have controlled Percy and asked him to kill Igor with his own hands. If we can't find him out in a short time, I'm worried that Grindelwald might He will continue to kill people in the Magic Congress and find ways to frame us."
"It's not possible, it's certain!" Ivan corrected Pierce's statement. He didn't take any chances on this point.
But on the other hand, this is also a good opportunity to hit Grindelwald hard...
You must know that powerful wizards like them are almost impossible to be captured or killed. Even if they lose in a duel, they can easily escape.
However, things are different now. In order to hold this World Wizards United Conference, the North American Magic Headquarters is heavily guarded. A large amount of protective magic has been deployed overtly and covertly, and all means of spatial displacement are ineffective.
The only trouble is that Grindelwald possesses a Horcrux. Unless he takes it with him, the most they can do is destroy Grindelwald's body, but they cannot completely kill him in one battle.
Ivan's calmness reassured the worried Pierce a lot, and he soon broke free from the shadow brought by Grindelwald.
As Ivan said, although Grindelwald caused them a lot of trouble, he also put himself in a dangerous situation. Once they find out, the situation will be completely reversed.
"Then what should we do next?" Pierce gathered his emotions and asked.
"Of course I'll lay out a plan, and then find a way to lure the snake out of the hole..." Ivan explained simply, paused, and then continued. "If I'm not mistaken, you should also have one of that key on you, right?"
Pierce nodded, and immediately took out a lifelike raven that was all silver in color and only half the size of a palm from his sleeve.
"Is this the key?" Ivan took the raven over in surprise. He had imagined what this mysterious key would look like, but seeing it actually exceeded his expectations.
What surprised Ivan even more was that with his current knowledge of alchemy, he couldn't figure out how this thing worked.
Should it be said that it is truly the crystallization of the wisdom of hundreds of alchemy masters?
It's really not that easy to crack.
"Just leave this thing here for now." Ivan looked at it over and over for a while, and finally put the silver raven into the pocket of the wizard's robe.
In this case, unless Grindelwald defeats himself, it will be impossible to collect all the keys anyway.
Of course, Pierce didn't dare to have any objections, and he even wished for it. With Grindelwald, a great enemy, watching, this thing was simply a hot potato. Whoever held it might become the next target of Grindelwald's attack.
After Ivan put the keys away, he discussed the next course of action with Pierce.
The two of them talked like this until late into the night, before Pierce solemnly said goodbye and left the bedroom.
After the door was closed, Ivan took out the Resurrection Stone while hesitating. If Conor and others were here, they would be surprised to find that the dead Igor actually appeared here in another form. In a bedroom...
