Chapter 214 Simple and crude
Lao Mu smiled and changed the topic, then said, "Since there is a suspect, let's go and investigate. It doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not. What matters is whether the investigation results are correct."
Avro raised her eyebrows, Lao Mu meant...
"Oh - what does that old Gu do?" Sirius asked with interest, "You can't speak connotatively, what's your background?"
"He is just the deputy minister of the Chinese Ministry of Magic. He has no background." Old Mu said with a smile.
"That's it?" Sirius looked at him a few times, "Old man sweeping the floor, your words are too arrogant."
"Old Mu, how far can the investigation go?" Avro suddenly asked.
"As long as you don't wrongly accuse anyone, it's okay." Old Mu slowly swept the floor, but his meaning was very clear.
Avro is so talented. Did Lao Mu come to her to deal with Lao Gu?
Is this an injustice or not? I'm afraid Lao Mu has already identified the murderer in his heart.
Aphra snorted and grabbed Sirius to leave, "It seems you don't have to buy so much truth serum, just a little."
"Really using Veritaserum?" Sirius asked in surprise, "Is it allowed by law?"
"This is China, not England." Avro replied matter-of-factly.
"Ahem," Old Mu coughed, "China is not allowed to give medicine."
Avro paused, "Then Legilimency."
"This is okay. Our magic system is different anyway, so this is not prohibited." Lao Mu smiled, with encouragement in his eyes.
"..." Avro believed it.
"A container for memory." Lao Mu threw a stone to Avro, "Giving it to you."
Sirius followed Aphra, who walked so fast that he had to take longer steps.
"Are we really doing this simple and crude thing?" Sirius asked hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter what the means are, what matters is the result." Avro answered him, "If you have means but don't use them, what's the good of being timid?"
"...It makes sense." Sirius thought about it and realized that this was also the case. Besides, just do it and it's done. What are you afraid of?
The two rushed to Lao Gu's office. Lao Gu, Xiao Xu and Wang Jianzhong were all sitting inside, and the three seemed to be chatting.
When Lao Gu saw them, he relaxed his frown and pretended to be calm.
"coming?"
"We have some questions to ask you." Avro said softly.
"Ask, I will tell you everything I know." Lao Gu seemed to have been prepared and was not surprised by their words.
He looked confident.
"Okay, then I'm offended." Avro pulled out her wand, and under everyone's surprised gazes, she said, "Legilimency."
"What is this?" Xiao Xu watched helplessly as strands of silver threads floated out of Lao Gu's head and flew into the stone in Avro's hand.
Lao Gu's eyes widened and he gave a backhand palm. Sirius kept watching his movements and quickly put all the protection on Avro.
"Afu, what are you doing?" Xiao Xu asked anxiously.
Wang Jianzhong also slapped the table and stood up. Before he could speak, Shitou projected an image onto the wall.
In the screen,
Lao Gu is using the simplest method of communication, which is to make a phone call.
"What does he want us to do?" Lao Gu asked the other end of the phone speaking English.
"Okay, you give me the things, and I will be responsible for the Chinese side."
"Don't worry when I do this. As long as the Dark Lord gives instructions, we will be able to bring down the British Minister of Magic. As long as you come to power, the Ministry of Magic will be under the control of the Dark Lord."
"Do your best, Cobain Yaxley..."
Avro's eyebrows widened and it turned out to be Cobain Yaxley. She knew it couldn't possibly be Rufus Scrimgeour.
Wang Jianzhong couldn't understand English, but Xiao Xu looked at Lao Gu with disbelief.
In the next scene, Xiao Xu opened his eyes. Wang Jianzhong couldn't understand but was not blind. He frowned and his worldview collapsed.
In the picture, Lao Gu was slowly walking towards a girl and handing her a glass of water.
The girl drank the water without warning, and then looked at Lao Gu again, her eyes filled with obsession.
Everyone knows what happens next.
"Lao Gu, did you do this?" Xiao Xu was the first to question him.
Lao Gu remained silent, his eyes lowered, staring at the ground with a gloomy expression. He said nothing.
"What happened?" Lao Mu pushed open the office door, still holding the broom in his hand. He looked confused, "What's going on?"
"Lao Mu! He...he is the murderer of the rape and murder case!" Xiao Xu pointed at Lao Gu, his voice trembling.
She and Wang Jianzhong both trusted Lao Gu so much, but they didn't expect Lao Gu to be such a person!
Lao Mu said "Ah" in surprise, "Is there any misunderstanding in this?"
"Lao Mu, are you confused?" Xiao Xu pulled Lao Mu to Lao Gu, "Look!"
She was shaking with anger, her facial muscles trembling.
Wang Jianzhong pursed his lips and said nothing, but his eyes were filled with disappointment for Lao Gu.
"Sure enough, it has to be simple and crude," Sirius touched his chin, feeling a little dazed.
Avro crossed her arms and looked at Lao Mu's pretentiousness with cold eyes. Lao Mu pretended not to know anything and questioned Lao Gu very awkwardly.
Finally, Lao Mu decided to hold a meeting to deal with Lao Gu.
The final result of Lao Gu's trial was to lose his internal strength and be imprisoned for 20 years.
Before that, Lao Gu had to be escorted to the British Ministry of Magic for interrogation.
"Old Mu, I'm going to write a notice and let the British Ministry of Magic prepare." Xiao Xu said to Old Mu.
"Okay, go ahead." Lao Mu nodded and looked at Avro again, "Isn't this very simple?"
"..." Avro tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Yeah."
"I'll write you a letter of recommendation. It might come in handy when you graduate next year... Actually, if the British Ministry of Magic doesn't want you, you can come to us." Old Mu said with a smile.
Avro raised her eyebrows, "Thank you, but... you are a minister, why do you do divination all over the world every day?"
Lao Mu put his hands behind his hands and said, "I don't want to stay in the office, it's boring."
"Then you can let Xian and Lao Gu come up."
"He has evil intentions, but he is loved by every member. It's hard for me to take action, and I have to ask outsiders to intervene."
Lao Mu turned his eyes and looked at Sirius, "Little brother, I see that your face is gloomy and defeated. You seem to be in jail."
"The reason he looks so gloomy is because he didn't sleep. The disaster in prison would have been over long ago." Sirius didn't believe Lao Mu's words at all.
"...It's boring. I'm going to find a German fortune teller." Old Mu snorted, "I'll go to Germany after I go to the British Ministry of Magic."
