Chapter 102 Imitator

"Now the clue is broken again." Tonks said frustratedly.

"Let's go in and check this house first, at least we have to find out why Riddle bought it, and what is the connection with the magic traces left at the old Gaunt house." Moody picked up the wine flask at his waist, drank a sip happily, and then limped to the side, "I'm going to write a letter to Dumbledore, maybe he will have some guesses about Riddle's purpose."

"If you find anything, tell me immediately!"

He found a stone to lean on, and a feather pen dipped in ink automatically wrote words on the letter paper.

"You only know how to order people around." Dawlish watched him walk away and kicked a stone away unhappily.

Moody is retired after all. It is undeniable that he has a great aura, but everyone thinks he is almost crazy, and his mind is full of delusions of persecution. Such a person is now commanding him, which makes him very dissatisfied.

"People have left, what can be found? "

Dawlish muttered quietly, but he did not dare to disobey Moody's order. The old Auror's deterrent power is still very strong, and he will not be soft-hearted whether dealing with enemies or his own people. Sometimes he wondered how the trainee Auror named Tonks could get along so well with the other party.

Dawlish was thinking, and his eyes were suddenly dazzled by something.

It was like the sun shining on a colorful mirror, and the reflected light dazzled his eyes. The thing flashed and disappeared in the green grass. His heart suddenly became nervous, as if he was about to catch something.

"You two go over there, I'll go to the side and take a look. "He quickly sent the other two Aurors away, and then trotted over there.

How could he share this good thing of promotion and salary increase with others?

He pretended to casually push aside the grass, but there was nothing inside. When he looked up, he saw a black and green python with colorful scales reflecting on it fleeing in the distance.

Dawlish felt awe in his heart. There was no doubt that this python had a close relationship with Riddle. Tom Riddle himself was a Parseltongue, and perhaps he controlled this snake to monitor anyone who appeared here.

This was Riddle's spy, but on the other hand, if he followed this snake, maybe he could find Riddle's location!

Dawlish followed without much thought.

Although Dumbledore repeatedly stressed that Riddle was dangerous, but Dawlish's confidence and arrogance made him think that the so-called Riddle was probably just that.

Everyone graduated from Hogwarts with the best grades. Could it be that I, the proud Roderix, was not as good as Riddle?

While keeping up with the python, he drew out his wand and carefully looked around.

But Dawlish didn't seem to notice that he had unknowingly left Riddle House on the hillside and walked alone into the depths of the jungle. The light suddenly dimmed, the leaves of the forest turned dark green, and the ground covered with dead leaves under his feet was wet, making him almost slip and fall several times.

'Stop. '

He saw from a distance that the body of the brightly patterned python stopped moving forward. He paused, and his heart tightened, and he immediately hid his body behind a thick tree.

Dawlish swallowed his saliva, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

For a long time - perhaps only a few minutes - he could only hear the chirping of birds and insects from somewhere in the jungle. But just when he couldn't hold back, another footstep sounded.

The sound of dead leaves being crushed by the soles of shoes became clearer and clearer, and Dawlish became more and more nervous.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Dawlish heard the owner of the footsteps lower his voice and make a terrifying hoarse sound of "Sha——".

It's Parseltongue!

It's Tom Riddle!

He didn't leave, and as he guessed, he was passing through the snake. Monitor these people.

That self-righteous Moody found nothing, and the person who finally caught Tom Riddle, the prisoner who escaped from prison, was me—Dawlish!

Dawlish's breathing became heavy.

He thought that he only needed to turn his head and shoot a "fainting" at Tom Riddle at this moment, and he could take all the credit.

The other Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and the guards of Azkaban almost went all out, but they couldn't catch another fugitive. But I caught Tom Riddle alone, so it seems that the next director of the Auror Office must be me.

He adjusted his breathing and prepared the spell. The next moment, he jumped out:

"Fainting!"

The wand shot out a red spell, which exploded suddenly!

"Pop! "

Dawlish's eyes widened, his heart seemed to be hanging up and then falling down as if he was on a bungee jump.

The spell did not hit.

In other words, there was nothing in front of him except a small hole blasted by his own spell.

The expected Tom Riddle was not here, and even the python disappeared. Dawlish subconsciously wanted to turn around, but the back of his head was pressed against by a sharp object.

His heart sank completely, and his limbs were cold.

This is a magic wand!

"Are you looking for me?"

This familiar voice made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

Dawlish only now remembered that he had to seize the opportunity to fight back, but before he could make any move, something slapped the back of his hand violently, causing a burning pain, and his wand was also knocked away.

"We meet again, Mr. Auror." Cyrus chuckled at the cowardly Auror, "I have to say, you are really stupid. You actually jumped into such an obvious trap alone."

"Tom Riddle..."

"I'm glad you still remember my name, sir, but--" Cyrus gently hooked his wand.

"Soul out of the body."

--

"Where is Dawlish?"

Moody finished writing the letter and looked around. He didn't find Dawlish. He thought Dawlish had searched inside the mansion.

But soon, Tonks, who jumped out of the mansion, shook her head.

"This house is really nice, much better than my father's aesthetics." Tonks sighed as she looked at it. Her father was a Muggle-born wizard, so he seemed to be influenced by the wizarding world in some aspects, and the decoration of the house still maintained a relatively old style.

But what about here?

It was hard for her to even imagine that this was a wizard's home. The house was fully equipped with electrical appliances, and even equipped with a Sega Saturn, which was a game console that was just released this year!

"Did you find anything?"

Tonks shook her head: "Dawlish may have found something. I saw him running hurriedly into the woods, as if he was chasing something."

Moody: ? ? ?

"Then you won't help?"

"Huh?"

"Dumbledore has emphasized many times that Tom Riddle is very dangerous. If Dawlish really found something, he might have been solved by now!" Moody shouted, "I said long ago that if there is any discovery, notify me immediately!"

"Where did he go? We have to move faster! Otherwise, Dawlish might be solved!" Moody said anxiously.

But the other two Aurors and Tonks pointed to completely different places for Dawlish's direction.

"Which way is it?"

"I clearly saw him going to the jungle!" Tonks said with wide eyes.

"But John told us that he went to the top of the mountain to have a look." The other two Aurors replied.

Moody was about to collapse.

What is wrong with the Aurors now?

Can this kind of quality protect the peace of the British wizarding world?

If this happened in the Voldemort era more than ten years ago, these people would not even know how they died!

Fortunately, at this time, Dawlish came back.

"What are you doing here?" Dawlish came out of the woods, patted the fallen leaves on his body, and asked in surprise at several colleagues who seemed to be about to quarrel.

"You see, I said he went to the woods." Tonks said with her arms folded.

The appearance of Dawlish broke the tense atmosphere between Tonks and the other two Aurors, but Moody did not relax his vigilance at all.

His magic eye seemed to have sensed something, and it turned wildly, scanning Dawlish several times like a broken machine.

"Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Dawlish stopped approaching and frowned at Moody.

Moody kept silent with a gloomy face, and his eyes scanned every corner of his body like infrared rays.

During the last wizard war, Moody saw through the Transfiguration of the Death Eaters more than once through this magic eye, and prevented many assassinations against himself.

At this moment——
