Chapter 212 Illegal Entry
"Surprise! Cornelius Fudge has resigned as Minister of Magic. After a vote by the MPs, who will be the new Minister of Magic?"
"Cornelly Fudge, a career of deceit and cowardice—"
"Two employees of the Ministry of Magic were killed one after another, and the whereabouts of the murderer are unknown!"
"The new Minister of Magic: Rufus Scrimgeour, the new Minister you don't know!"
Avro put away these daily prophets, and the bruises were obvious at the moment.
Fudge's resignation is not an accident, but it seems too much like some kind of ruse...
Avro frowned, feeling a slight headache.
She barely slept a wink these past few days and was even running around.
"Hello? Af, the doctor sent by St. Mungo's has tested it and found that the two Chinese wizards do have your love potion in their bodies. These cases in China and the UK are indeed connected."
When news came from Xiao Xu, Avro pinched her eyebrows.
"I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome - eh? Lao Gu, why are you looking for me? Me? I'm talking to Afu..." On the other side of the crystal ball, Xiao Xu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Avro thought, maybe she should go to China to see the situation of the two wizards...
Go to China...
Avro hurriedly shouted to the crystal ball: "Xiao Xu! Has your Ministry of Magic detected anyone entering the country illegally recently?"
Xiao Xu said "Ah" in confusion, and a steady male voice sounded, "Afu, I'm Lao Gu. According to the monitoring equipment in our auditorium with thousands of people, there are no illegal immigrants."
"Thank you, Lao Gu." Avro stretched her eyebrows and hung up the crystal ball.
Aphra grabbed Sirius' arm and said, "Sirius, let's go to the Ministry of Magic again, and then go to the Chinese Ministry of Magic."
Although Sirius did not follow her train of thought, he agreed without hesitation.
The two came to the Ministry of Magic again, and Aphra walked straight to the Minister of Magic's office.
In just a few days, everything here has changed.
Rufus Scrimgeour was sitting in his office, looking through papers.
"Minister, we would like to see the list of wizards who have recently entered the United Kingdom." Avro said directly, while staring closely at Scrimgeour's expression.
Rufus nodded calmly and said lightly, "This kind of document is usually in the logistics department."
"Logistics Department?" Avro frowned.
"Yes, this has always been in charge of logistics. Phillips' position has not been replaced yet, so the documents are kept with me." Rufus answered her, his face was calm and calm.
He grinned, "This is related to the investigation you are conducting, right? Then I will take it out and show it to you-"
Avro took the document, and apart from Aphra and Sirius, there was no one registered in and out of the wizard list.
"This document -" Avro pursed her lips, "It was at Phillips' place at the time. We searched it but didn't see it."
"Probably Minister Fudge put it away for him," Rufus replied eloquently, "I just saw it too."
The entry and exit roster was too empty. Avro reached out and touched it, feeling a faint magical aura from the roster.
Sirius looked away from Aphra and narrowed his eyes, "Minister, are there any wizards who have entered the country illegally recently?"
"This would not have been detected, otherwise our Ministry of Magic would have the right to detain or arrest wizards who enter the country illegally."
Rufus answered them calmly.
"Dong dong dong."
"Come in." Rufus sat up straight, looking very energetic as he was about to display the majesty of a minister.
The door was opened, revealing a man whom Aphra didn't know very well.
"This is Cobain Yaxley, Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic." Sirius whispered for Avro.
Yaxley glanced at Aphra several times, his eyes serious, "Is this... someone sent by the Chinese Ministry of Magic to investigate?"
Avro nodded, "Hello, Avro Greengrass."
"It's actually Greengrass." Yaxley paused, looking confused.
"Is there any problem?" Avro didn't understand his reaction.
"It's really impressive that you can enter the Chinese Ministry of Magic." Yaxley praised her, but it didn't sound sincere, "It's just that I don't know if you have this ability."
"..." Avro frowned, a little unhappy.
"It's been three days since the Phillips incident happened." Yaxley said with a sullen face, "I'm worried that something else will happen."
"You should have full trust in me and our staff, Cobain." Rufus showed a kind and reliable look, and Avro suspected that he was imitating Dumbledore.
Yaxley glanced at him, clearly not trusting Rufus.
Rufus didn't care about Yaxley's expression, he just smiled to himself, looking a little charming.
"Greengrass, Black, I still hope that you can investigate the matter to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible and restore the safety of the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding world, okay?"
Avro just felt that his arrogance was too high, and she might have to give way to Rufus when Merlin came!
She did not speak.
Yaxley was a little impatient, "I just hope you can investigate it quickly! Otherwise, I will definitely find someone to replace you, and I will find the Chinese Ministry of Magic and ask them to replace you!"
"It's only been two days since I learned about Phillips." Avro pursed her lips and held Sirius' hand. "I promise that I will give you a satisfactory answer within three days."
She dragged Sirius and hurried away.
As soon as they left the Ministry of Magic, Sirius explained the situation to Aphra, "Coban Yaxley probably just doesn't like Rufus appointing us. After all, he is very dissatisfied that the new Minister is Rufus - Yaxley. He is also a strong candidate for the new minister.”
"But he was not selected," Avro emphasized this fact. "His attitude was really bad. I don't blame him for not being selected."
"You're right," Sirius shrugged, "Do you have any ideas?"
Aphra nodded and folded her hands over Sirius's, making Sirius startled.
"I always feel that there is something wrong with Rufus," Avro mused. "The immigration registration document is wrong and has been tampered with. I can feel it! Why is the document in the minister's office? Did Fudge really take it? ?”
"Is this really a political trick played by Rufus to drive Fudge out of office?" Avro continued to speculate.
"It's very possible," Sirius said seriously, "I see that Rufus seems to have high expectations for this election result. He is so satisfied now that he can't even hide his fox tail."
"No, there is one more question..." Avro narrowed her eyes, "What about the entry and exit documents from the Chinese Ministry of Magic? There are also records of illegal entry and exit!"
