Chapter 488 Disgusting Woman
In the Hogwarts Headmaster's office, Kingsley was speechless by Mrs. Kent.
Although the things Mrs. Kent said were done by previous members of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and had nothing to do with him personally, outsiders didn't care about them.
In their view, Kingsley was the same as those officials in the past!
Kingsley naturally understood this truth, so he did not argue, but at the same time he did not want to give up just like that, so he began to organize his words to prepare for the final wave of persuasion to Mrs. Kent.
However, before he could speak, Mike stood up and said:
"Okay, now that everything has been cleared up, I need to continue to stay here."
After saying this, he pulled up his collar and said to Mrs. Kent with a smile:
"Mrs. Kent, are you interested in sitting at my place? I still have some questions to ask you. If nothing else happens, you should be able to gain a lot of galleons after this."
Hearing this, Mrs. Kent showed a horrified expression at first, but after hearing Mike's last words, her expression became tangled.
However, this tangled expression only lasted for a moment before it was replaced by determination. She stood up and said:
"good!"
Kingsley became anxious, and he stood up and shouted to Mike:
"No, you can't leave! Mike, do you think you can escape the punishment of the law like this? I tell you, this is a daydream! I will always catch you!"
Mike's footsteps paused. He knew very well that Kingsley was telling the truth.
The fact that the people do not call the officials to investigate is based on the precondition that the case is not serious and the law enforcement officials find it troublesome.
If law enforcement is determined to hold someone accountable for breaking the law, the victim's opinion doesn't actually matter.
In other words, as long as Kingsley has conclusive evidence that can prove that Clark was indeed killed by Mike, then he has the right to directly make Mike accept legal sanctions.
But...is it really that easy?
The corner of Mike's mouth raised a strange arc, and then, he neither argued nor left the office directly, but turned to look at the giant wall clock in the corner of the office.
"Calculating the time, Benjamin should be almost there..."
Mike murmured, and as soon as he finished speaking, an owl flew in from the skylight of the office with a letter in its mouth, and landed in front of Kingsley.
Kingsley's eyes glanced at the copper ring worn on the owl's ankle, and his heart tightened - this was an owl exclusive to the Ministry of Magic!
Kingsley immediately took the letter and prepared to check it, but before he could open it, the blood-red letter paper flew out of the envelope and hung in mid-air, automatically folding into the shape of a mouth.
"Kingsley! Come back now, right away! Do you know how busy the Ministry of Magic is now? Those damn Death Eaters and criminals are almost filling up the Department of Magical Law Enforcement! And at this time, you As the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, instead of working hard to solve these problems in the Ministry of Magic, you also go out to work for Dumbledore after working hours! You really disappoint me, Kingsley, sometimes I really I'm not sure whether you are an official of the Ministry of Magic or Dumbledore's hound. Maybe I should think carefully about whether you are qualified for your current position."
Scrimgeour's hoarse, dull voice kept coming through the red origami mouth. The sound was so loud that the portraits on the office walls trembled slightly.
Kingsley, who was the first to suffer this, was even more pale-faced. He knew very well that his career was over.
Even though he's a member of the Order of the Phoenix, that doesn't mean he doesn't like power.
"It seems that you still have urgent matters to deal with, so we won't disturb you and say goodbye."
After speaking, Mike took Mrs. Kent towards the office door, but this time, Kingsley did not stop him.
Not only Kingsley, but Dumbledore also didn't speak. He sat there quietly as before. This was his strategy today, just look, don't tell.
But the expression on his face was surprisingly ugly, because he could see clearly that by now, he basically had nothing to do with Mike.
This kid... his wings are really hard.
Dumbledore thought as he stared at his right hand that was tightly bound by the straps.
At the same time, Mike took Mrs. Kent and walked straight towards the Room of Requirement.
Mike didn't speak to Mrs. Kent along the way, and Mrs. Kent was happy to do so. She followed Mike silently, secretly sizing up the tall figure in front of her.
What Mike did in the office just now has completely impressed Mrs. Kent. With his strong strength, astonishing wealth and power, and his miraculous age, let alone seeing such a young man, Mrs. Kent swore that she didn’t even hear it. heard about it!
At the same time, this is also the reason why she is willing to go with Mike, because she knows very well that after losing Dumbledore and others, they are just using her, and now that she has lost her use value, Mike can do whatever he wants with her. She herself had no room to resist.
Now, she could only hope that Mike would keep his promise and let her leave safely with the check.
"Here we are."
Mrs. Kent, who was immersed in her inner world, was startled and stopped hurriedly.
At this time, they were in the corridor on the eighth floor of Hogwarts.
As soon as she took in the surrounding environment, Mrs. Kent frowned and said:
"Are you sure we want to talk here? Although there are few people here, it's not..."
Mrs. Kent's words stopped abruptly, because in front of her, a door suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Come in, Mrs. Kent."
Mike smiled and made a gesture of invitation. He could see that Mrs. Kent was very surprised by the existence of the Requirement Room, but he said nothing. There was no point in humiliating an old woman.
At this time, the Response Room had turned into a spacious tea room. Zhou Hong was sitting on a sofa with his legs crossed, spinning his pen out of boredom.
Mike took Mrs. Kent into the Response Room and placed her on a hard wooden chair opposite Zhou Hong, while he himself sat next to Zhou Hong.
The conditions here were obviously not as good as Dumbledore's office. Not only did Mrs. Kent sit on a hard chair, Mike didn't even give her a cup of tea.
But this made her feel relieved. Now she didn't dare to drink the tea because she was afraid that veritaserum would be added to it.
But one thing made Mrs. Kent particularly uncomfortable, and that was the young man sitting opposite her. He had been staring at her since she came in, and that young man's gaze made Mrs. Kent feel like she had been completely seen through. Feel.
Mrs. Kent couldn't help but cover her chest with her arms. She didn't like the feeling of being completely seen through.
Zhou Hong, who was opposite her, rolled his eyes when he saw this.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense. Mrs. Kent, please tell me in detail what happened in Clark's 6th grade to 7th grade. If your answer satisfies me, today you will not only be able to bring That check for ten thousand gold galleons left safely, and I can give you an extra thousand gold galleons in cash.”
As Mike spoke, he took out a traceless stretch bag and poured it on the ground. The gold coins inside piled up on the floor into a small mountain, which made Mrs. Kent swallow her saliva.
"I hope you can tell the truth and don't try to lie, otherwise you will definitely regret it."
Mrs. Kent nodded. She used great perseverance to move her eyes away from the hill of gold coins, looked at Mike and said:
"What do you want to know? Can the conditions be more specific?"
"Weird things, as long as they are abnormal, you have to tell me."
"There's something strange...it's true." Mrs. Kent murmured, "Clark has actually not been home much in the past two years. He only stays at home for a day or two every summer and Christmas vacation. Then it suddenly disappears.
I once asked him where he went, but he refused to tell me anything, only that he went to work.
I believed it, because he did send gold Galleons home from time to time every time he went out. When he comes back, he will bring a bunch of gifts for me and his two sisters..."
"You are lying!"
Zhou Hong interrupted Mrs. Kent's words with a loud roar, and Mike's eyes at the latter immediately became unkind.
His purpose in asking Mrs. Kent was just to try and see if he could find any clues about the person behind Clark. If Mrs. Kent didn't cooperate, he wouldn't mind getting rid of her directly.
Mike's gaze startled Mrs. Kent, and she waved her hands hurriedly:
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I made a mistake! He will only give gold galleons and gifts to my two daughters, but not to me at all! In fact, his relationship with me is not good at all. He hates me very much. , hate me for bringing him into this world, and also hate me for killing his father."
Mike looked at Zhou Hong again, and when he saw the other person nodded, he signaled Mrs. Kent to continue.
At this time, Mrs. Kent was already sweating profusely. She now finally understood why she felt like she had been seen through, and finally understood why Mike was not afraid of her lying.
It turned out that the young Asian man sitting in front of her was a master of Legilimency!
No, a pure Legilimency master cannot do this. Coupled with the other party's age, there is only one possibility left.
That Asian boy is a natural mind reader!
Mrs. Kent took a deep breath, glanced at Zhou Hong fearfully, and then continued:
"You may not believe it when I tell you, but Clark's child actually had very low self-esteem and cowardice, and his academic performance was not good. It was a miracle that he became a prefect.
But since he went out to ‘work’, I found that he had changed. Becoming more and more confident and stronger, this is obviously abnormal! "
"Out of concern for Clark, I once followed him to find out where he was working, but he became too strong and I couldn't catch up at all. But fortunately, I also know some big people, and they told me Clark has been working for a Slytherin student who seems to be named..."
"Chris."
"Yes, it's Chris! A Slytherin prefect, one year younger than Clark!"
Mike's eyes suddenly lit up when he said the name Chris to the receiver. He really didn't expect that his inquiry, which he thought was better than nothing, would actually bring up such a big fish!
If the person behind Clark is really Chris, then a lot of things can be connected.
What makes Mike wonder is, why on earth would Chris do this? What good would it do him?
Mike couldn't help but fell into deep thought, but at this moment, Zhou Hong said again:
"You lied again."
Mike looked at Mrs. Kent across from him with a sharp look. He was really a little angry. He had already made up his mind here, but was the other party lying?
"No! I didn't! I...well, I did lie." Mrs. Kent said hurriedly, "I followed Clark not because I was worried about him, but because I wanted to find out where Clark worked. Then ...and then threatened him to make trouble and asked him to give me money. I...I couldn't help it. He was only willing to give the money to his two sisters, and he was not even willing to give me a copper nut! I am him Mother! He would rather see me hungry than give me money!"
Zhou Hong, who was opposite Mrs. Kent, was now extremely angry.
He had never seen his mother, so he always imagined her to be particularly beautiful. But at this moment, the information in Mrs. Kent's mind was tainting the sacred word mother in his mind!
He gasped and looked at the other person fiercely, feeling the urge to shake his head because he knew very well that as long as he shook his head, Mike would immediately let this evil mother know what it felt like to be an idiot.
But after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded hard to Mike.
Seeing this, Mrs. Kent finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Mike continued to ask expressionlessly:
"Who was the person who told you Clark was working with Chris? Where is he now?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Kent's expression that had just relaxed became tense again.
She looked at the expressionless Mike, then at the frosty Zhou Hong, and finally gritted her teeth and said:
"It's...my brother...Haloch Kent told me. He has always been a lackey of the Chris family, so he has some knowledge of these things. As for where he is. Sorry, I don't know either, he is missing. , along with his family and all movable property, were all missing, and the Chris family were also missing with him."
Mike nodded. This was similar to what he expected. The information about Clark following Chris would be strictly kept secret. The only person who could reveal the information was Chris' partner, the pure-blood alliance member who had disappeared. a member of.
However, there was one thing that Mike couldn't figure out.
According to Clark's memory, Mrs. Kent's relationship with her brother had always been bad, so how could her brother tell her such a thing?
Mike frowned and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Oh, I have an affair with my brother. I often go to his house to sleep with him. In return, he often gives some money. But he is a miser. He is only willing to give one gold Galleons at a time. Sometimes it is less. There were only five or six Silver Sickles! As for Clark, he told me once again when we were doing business. I guess it must be a very important secret, because after telling him, his face became very bad. It won’t work down there either…”
Mrs. Kent seemed to have completely let go. She was talking endlessly, as if she was telling a very interesting thing.
Opposite her, Zhou Hong and Mike's faces were already livid.
Zhou Hong gasped and said word by word:
"You are so disgusting!"
