“Dumbledore and I have been looking for other works of this student named Tom since we discovered that he was making Horcrux.”
Sherlock was like Slughorn telling them a story in the afternoon, without asking questions or oppression, and just speaking in such a plain voice.
“It has been three years now, and we have gained a lot. By understanding the past of this student named Tom, we have found several other Horcruxes.”
“But we don’t know how many Horcruxes he made. Where did he get the knowledge of Horcruxes. After all, at the beginning, he was just a powerless orphan in Hogwarts, and there was no channel for him to get access to this knowledge.”
His voice suddenly stopped here. Slughorn always avoided Sherlock’s gaze, and he couldn’t see his face clearly.
After a few seconds of quiet, Sherlock continued to speak and ask the last question.
“So, I came here, in addition to chatting with you, Professor, to reminisce, Dumbledore invited me here and asked me to ask you, do you know this student named Tom Riddle?”

His face was very pale, his trembling lips were just looking at Sherlock.
Sherlock looked at him with a peaceful look, without putting any pressure on him or forcing him, as if it was a sparse and ordinary question.
It took a long time to say Slughorn.

Sherlock poured Slughorn half a cup of whiskey, and when he was having a meal, he never mentioned the things they were talking about, but thanked him.
“Thank you for your help to me the previous two times. If it weren’t for you, I might have been lying in the coffin now, instead of being able to sit here and drink with you.”
Slughorn was a little confused.
“The first two times?”
Sherlock explained to him how Shilk used his bottle of Fuling agent to find himself in the last event of the Triumph Championship, and finally let Dumbley make it happen.Take Aurors to arrive in time.
Slughorn sighed.
“You should not thank me, but Vera. My bottle of Fuling agent only provides some auxiliary effects.”
Sherlock turned to look at Sherlock and smiled, the table
