The only thing Sherlock and Moody got out this trip was this ring.
Moody’s face was very bad, he said with a gloomy face.
“This proves that Old Batty has been controlled very early! But we only discovered it now!”
Sherlock touched the ring in his hand, thinking about what happened at the summer World Cup in his mind.
“If we calculate based on the time of the fight on the spot, Crouch was controlled by someone, it should be after the end of the World Cup, and that time was also his son who was hiding at home. Bati was killed by me.”
Even if we can infer that Crouch was controlled, the information they have now received is very limited.
Finally, after searching in this small building without results, Sherlock and Moody returned to Hogwarts together.
There is no curfew in the castle tonight, but the students cannot be too presumptuous. By this time, no one is still wandering outside, and they basically return to their own lounge.
Dumbledore’s office was still brightly lit. He was not dealing with anything else, but was waiting for news from Sherlock and the others.
However, what he was waiting for was not good news.
After listening to Moody’s report, he picked up the ring with the Crouch family emblem that Sherlock found, and murmured softly.
“The Crouch’s ancestral home…”
In the end, Dumbledore shook his head.
“I don’t know about this. The older the family, the more they built their estate in a secret place. There has never been any specific location of the Crouch family in the outside world.”
Sherlock stared at the ring and narrowed his eyes slightly.
“If Crouch still doesn’t appear in front of the public again, can we infer that he is about to encounter an accident?”
Moody’s expression seemed extremely difficult to see.
“I don’t understand, if someone among the Death Eaters uses the Soul-Snatching Spell to control him and want him to create chaos in Hogwarts, frame Harry, and kill Sherlock. Then why is the first event just over the competition and only one semester of this school year has passed, and they are now going to change their attention and deal with him?”
The problem he noticed was obviously not ignored by Sherlock and Dumbledore.
Dumbledore tapped the table with his fingers.
“There are two possibilities. First, someone on the Death Eater knew about what we had doubts about him, so not only did Barty not come, but if we continued to let him stay in Hogwarts, we could easily follow the clues and find some of their other things.information. “
“Secondly, Bati himself was consciously fighting against the soul-catching curse on his body. ”
Sherlock frowned. As a professor of the Black Magic Defense Class, he naturally studied the three unforgivable curse the most in-depth.
