Chapter 110 The Three Major Point Deductions
"The more interesting things are yet to come." Ellie whispered, "One day, Reco suddenly returned to England. If he hadn't gone to the Ministry of Magic, no one would have known he was back."
Xing Ze stopped and asked, "He went to the Ministry of Magic?"
"Yes, and he made a big scene there."
"Why?"
"I don't know. He met the Minister of Magic directly as a member of the Alban family. You know, the former Minister Millicent Barnold is almost in seclusion, and even if I ask her in person, she probably won't tell me.
"After he was there, he wrote to his sister Olivia again. This time, he said he would go to the Severn Valley, and if something unexpected happened, Olivia would be able to inherit all his works.
"As we all know, he didn't have any problems, and he met Edwin von Winkler in the Severn Valley. This was investigated by my people in a bar there."
Ellie stopped the topic because they were about to reach the principal's office.
"I think we should stop here," she said, "Let's find another time to talk."
Xing Ze put away his pen and notebook, nodded and replied, "How about later?"
"No, I have to present the Quidditch trophy. It's not possible in the evening, the big family's ball, of course, if you really can't wait, I can give you an invitation."
Xing Ze thought about it and finally rejected the proposal. He just needs to make sure that Ali Shafik is on his side. As for why she changed, it's not that important.
What's more, he, a person with no status, will rashly attend such a family ball, which will probably only bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.
...
The conversation with Dumbledore lasted for a long time, of course, it was mainly between him and Ali.
The old wizard wanted Xing Ze to join in the investigation of the whereabouts of the mysterious man, but was politely rejected by Xing Ze.
There is no need to investigate at all, he is right under your nose. Xing Ze still insisted on his theory-Quirrell is a Death Eater.
And this time Ali agreed with him, but Dumbledore still didn't mean to investigate Quirrell.
Walking out of the principal's office, Xing Ze wondered why Dumbledore was like this. If his opinion alone was not enough to impress him before, then now with Ellie's approval, he should agree.
Why? Why didn't he believe it?
This question accompanied Xing Ze until the end of November, during which he had not been able to meet with Ellie Shafik again. The latter seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. Apart from the usual classes, Ellie rarely stayed in school.
Of course, Barrow Foley also contributed greatly. This self-proclaimed flower protector would follow Ellie almost whenever he was free.
At the same time, his investigation was also in trouble. He secretly went to the base of the Boiling Oil Gang in Knockturn Alley and the winery, but found nothing.
Fortunately, Ellie Shafik secretly sent him a letter, which was handed to Xing Ze through Cedric.
In the letter, Ellie said that she had been warned by her family not to interfere in the investigation of Reco and Edwin, and to avoid meeting Xing Ze as much as possible.
Obviously, her investigation touched on something that could not be dug deep. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. Ali Shafik didn't know about the dream, or she didn't know much.
If she continued to investigate, she would inevitably find something that the Key Hall had been hiding. Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, it would not be allowed.
This also explains the strangeness of the eldest lady in recent days. I guess she has also had a hard time these days.
The warning came from the Key Hall rather than the Shafik family. It is precisely because of this that Xing Ze was not worried about Ali's private investigation before.
As a member of the Key Hall, in addition to worrying about internal doubts and investigations. He is still very relieved about the outside world.
After all, even an organization as large and powerful as the church has only won over low-level personnel like Maxim in so many years.
The letter also mentioned the information investigated by the eldest lady. Although most of it has been confiscated by the family, she still kept some of it and will sort it out in the near future and hand it over to Xing Ze through Cedric.
Anyway, he now has too few clues to connect more things together.
Therefore, Xing Ze changed the direction of the investigation. He no longer dwelled on those obvious clues, but started from various ancient legends.
For this reason, he spent his time in the forbidden book section of the Hogwarts Library, and asked Cedric to help him find a lot of rumors about the Granling Ice Demon from the Cliona Library.
In addition, daily research on "The Key to the Door" has become his daily routine. This book records a lot of knowledge about dreams, but there is little information written directly in English.
Latin and runes occupy a large part, and other documents include Sanskrit, Naktic, Carthaginian, Greek, etc.
Even though those documents have annotations from many members, the difficulty of reading is still very high, not to mention that most of the documents and materials in them are broken, incomplete and obscure.
Therefore, he did not hold much hope for "The Key to the Door". He was waiting, waiting for a turn.
If the turning point didn't come, he would have to seek help from the church, although he knew that every request to the church would cost him many times more in the future.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long for this turning point.
On this day, as usual, he was about to go to the cafeteria to eat after class, but was intercepted by Harry, Hermione and Ron.
"Please wait, Mr. Xingze." Harry said, "Please give us some time. We have something important to tell you."
"Let's talk as we walk, my stomach is already protesting." Xing Ze smiled.
"Me too, we can continue the conversation in the cafeteria." Ron agreed.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Yeah, so everyone knows."
"Then find a secluded corner." Ron said not to be outdone, "What do you think, Harry?"
"Okay, we can talk on the way to the cafeteria. Others will only think of you as students who solve problems after a few classes."
"I agree," Hermione agreed, and the other two nodded.
On the way to the canteen, the three little guys expressed their thoughts to Snape and Nico Flamel.
"You can't slander Snape just because he is a mean person." Xing Ze advised, "Also, how do you know about Nico Flamel?"
Xing Ze couldn’t remember who told Harry about Nico Flamel in the original novel.
"It's Hagrid," Ron quickly replied, "He said the thing hidden in the restricted area is Dumbledore, ah——"
Before he could finish his words, Hermione kicked him hard.
Ah, Hagrid. Xing Ze nodded thoughtfully, Hagrid was so tight-lipped, I should have guessed it.
