Andrew took advantage of the gap to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then looked at the two of them. "Okay. Andrew asked. "Who are they? The two victims. “

"You don't have to know. Lucas said impatiently.

"Little Lou. Hermione said. "Help Andrew get coffee. “

Lucas turned to face her, he wasn't tall, but he was all over Hermione. "Oh, come on, Granger, this guy is just kidding you. You don't think he'll really be able to tell something valuable, do you?"

Hermione stared at her partner's sweaty but piercing face with a cold look that was enough to shake the guy six inches taller than her. "No creamer, two pieces of sugar. “

". Lucas said. He gave Andrew a cold look (but didn't dare to look him in the eye), put his hands in his pants pockets, and strode out of the room.

Hermione followed him to the door, walking silently, and then closed the door. The living room was darker and narrower in an instant, as if there was a smiling demon in this beautiful secluded room, dancing in the smell of blood and the memories of the two dead bodies next door.

"The woman's name was Jennifer Liu, she was from the Far East, she seemed to be an international student, and she seemed to have some background in the Far East. “

Andrew waved his wand. For students from the Far East, things quickly became troublesome--- you must know that at this time, the Tang Organization was still secretly competing with the wizard army on the European continent, and anything strange could happen. International students in the Far East are basically beautiful, charming, and clever women, but Andrew doesn't know them very well.

Andrew has never been a racist in this regard.

In Andrew's mind, some women in the Far East are very concerned about their appearance, they want to be more beautiful than the female companions they see on TV and in movies, and it is better for everyone in the world to fall under their beauty.

Of course, there are also a lot of very talented girls, extremely good, and Qiu recently met one and introduced it to Andrew. Andrew had only met once.

"And as far as we know, it seems to involve a vampire organization, an organization that uses magic to control lone girls and then force them to sell themselves. ”

Andrew listened quietly to Hermione's introduction, she seemed to mention a female vampire named Lilith, who had been involved in several previous disappearances, as well as some other dark deals, in short, it seemed to be a super gangster vampire villain who grabbed territory and sold people and the like.

Andrew cut to the chase. "Could this be one of Lilith's turf disputes? Or does it mean anything? It sounds like a gang fight, except they use magic and spells instead of guns. “

"No way. Hermione said. "Lilith is a very voracious vampire, but she doesn't like trouble, and she doesn't see humans at all as people, but as goods. Lilith would not offend any other superhuman for the sake of a human. All the vampire needs is wealth, and the poor girl is nothing more than her control of the goods. “

"Sounds like a serious violation of wizarding law, isn't there any action from the Auror Office?" Andrew asked curiously. Now that Hermione has found out about this kind of thing, it is impossible for the Auror Office to let it happen.

"That's a long story. In short, the wizarding world did not notice the disappearance of Muggles until our department was completed, and the Muggle police could not solve this kind of supernatural case involving vampires, which often became headless cases, sealed in secret files. Hermione said a little sadly, "But after our department was formed, this kind of case was quickly discovered, and the Muggle police will inform me about this matter." ”

"Sounds pretty good. Andrew nodded indifferently - he didn't know that his part was wrong, in short, at this time, Andrew felt that the flames that destroyed everything in his body were beating wildly---- as if he was wearing a mask, Andrew continued with a blank face. "But if someone wants to hit Lilith in the same way that they hurt this girl, they should kill the girl and leave the guest alive, so that he can spread the story and affect Lilith's business, or she just wants to get your attention and want to kill her with a knife and ruin Lilith completely. “

"Oh. Hermione wasn't convinced, but she copied Andrew's words in a notebook.

"Who is that man?" Andrew asked her.

Hermione stared at Andrew for a moment, then said calmly, "An insignificant person, who has returned from the Afghan army and currently works for a security company. “

Andrew winked at her, "Security company? I don't know much about security companies, which one is it?"

"Bourne Defend Company. She said. "John Byrne's security company. “

Now that's interesting. John Byrne, nicknamed "Blackstone", rose from a secret agent to become one of the bosses of London's underground after the CIA was forced to remain incognito due to infighting. After years of brutal fighting and bloody exchanges with local gangsters and agents, Bourne has once again come to prominence, and despite the American government's strong demands for Britain to take action against Byrne, Bourne is a mixed gift to the British government.

Gentleman John could not tolerate any excesses within his organization, and he did not like the presence of a lone ranger in his city. As long as it wasn't for the smugglers, robbers, and drug criminals in his organization, they would end up being kicked out of the city, betrayed to the police, or even disappeared for unknown reasons, never to be seen again.

A former CIA agent who uses secret service methods to manage a gang.....

Byrne's criminal influence is civilized—the problems he causes are bigger on a scale than ever before, as long as he has his reach. he

He was a very cunning businessman, and he paid a lot of money to hire a lawyer to work for him and help him block all the legal troubles - I heard that this was the biggest lesson he learned in the CIA: he had to find a good lawyer---- who helped him completely block the threat of testimony, documents and phone recordings.

The police never wanted to admit it, but it seemed that they had nothing to do with him. Byrne is well deserved - the agent version of the king of the underworld.

"This guy looks like a good thug. Andrew said. "It's a pity that it doesn't look like it's there anymore. “

Hermione shrugged, "Looks like it." “

"What are you going to do next?" Andrew put away the change plate and set the next time.

"I guess let's start with the hairdresser. I'll talk to Lilith and Bourne, but I can already tell you what they're going to say. She closed the notebook and shook her head unpleasantly.

Andrew looked at her for a moment, she looked tired, "Hermione, your energy is limited, these things can be left to that Lucas, what is important for you now is to have a set of effective procedures in place to ensure that the Auror Office has an accurate insight into the crimes committed by evil wizards in the Muggle world, rather than staring at a specific case and headaches."

"I know. She replied. "But if I don't have enough case to follow, I don't know where to start, and I can't just hand in a memo and be done. And my partner Lucas, he can't deal with those ghosts at all now, and Lilith can easily control him. “

"Does the whole organization think the same way?" Andrew asked her.

"Most of them frowned when I wasn't looking, drew circles on their temples with their index fingers, and filed my reports without even looking at them. Others are nervous and scared. They didn't believe anything they had ever seen on the Discovery Channel as a kid. “

Reading storybooks, of course, makes anyone happy, but when those weird things do happen to you, almost everyone chooses to ignore them--- you can't believe that one day something will actually crawl out of your monitor, and you won't believe that Transfiguration allows anyone to switch back and forth between male and female at will, or that you can put down an entire lab in a room with a contraction spell.

Hermione's organization, whether in the Ministry of Magic or the British government, is still a non-existent department, and externally, this department is still an outsourcing company.

Andrew has always had great expectations for Hermione--- Hermione should be the savior of this world, she is kind, compassionate, and upright, and Andrew himself has none of these advantages.

When Andrew realized that the only way to stop the destruction of the world on his own would be to open the apocalypse, Andrew was very careful to select some suitable wizards, wanting to help them grasp greater power.

But now it seems that Hermione's beautiful heart is withering, which is a very bad sign, Andrew began to think about whether to let Hermione leave the department----- maybe this world needs heroes, needs pathetic, imperfect, real heroes, but only perfect gods can save the world.

"What about you?" said Andrew, thinking about it.

"Me?" Hermione smiled, her curved lips with a delicate expression that was too beautiful for a strong woman like her. "As you said, Andy, the whole world is coming crashing down. I think humans are too arrogant to think that we've learned everything in the last few centuries. them, I dare say we're just beginning to see the unknown around us again. I'm not becoming very cynical. “

"Maybe it's not you that's wrong, Hermione, it's the world that's wrong. "You can't expect everyone around you to be saints, in fact most of them are robots that repeat the same work every day according to the preconceived instructions." “

She smiled mischievously at Andrew. "I know what you mean, my dear, even if the whole world is a fool, I know you can understand me. “

The two looked at each other and smiled. The feeling of powerlessness that had been hovering over Hermione quickly disintegrated.

"That's right, Andy. Hermione said with a wicked smile. Andrew sensed that she had an idea in her head.

"Huh?"

"You said you could find out how the murderer committed the crime, but you're not sure if you can do it. “

"Of course you can, but it takes time, and...."

"And it's just a case that has nothing to do with you, why bother to deal with it, don't you think so?"

Andrew was stunned, she was really amazing. Maybe Hermione knew Andrew too. "Do you have to tell the truth?" Andrew said. "I really don't have time to deal with these things, I still have some Dark Lord Horcruxes to deal with..."

"Sometimes I don't want to deal with these things, but you have to do it for the sake of justice. Andy, just help me. It was only when the word justice came out of Hermione's mouth that Andrew could understand what it really meant.

"Okay. Andrew said simply. "For your sake, I'll find a way to find the source of the curse. “

Hermione didn't know all of Andrew's secrets. She didn't know the terrible picture of hell in Andrew's body, nor how the end of the law era was connected to Andrew, and she didn't know that Andrew was hanging a sword of Democles over his head. Most of the time, Andrew pretends that he doesn't even know about it.

Always on the verge of madness, the door of the apocalypse can be opened at any moment, and everything can be ruined at any time........

The power of destruction is not an illusory ghost, nor is he a wretched soul in the Albanian forest, but it truly surrounds the endless darkness of the enchantment, and at the slightest crevice, it can easily destroy this world, turning it into one of countless lifeless universes.

Andrew sometimes felt that it was a complete mistake for the master to send him to this world, and he even felt that he was the cause of all the tragedies that followed--- the power of destruction, the star monarch, the terrible disaster that destroyed the world, and maybe it was his own arrival that started the end of the Dharma Tribulation.

"Hermione. Andrew looked at Hermione. "I respect your decision, but I have to remind you again that your energy is limited, my energy is limited, and if we can't win this game, then something even more terrible than what is in front of you will inevitably happen. “

She glared at me, but not at me--- there was a burning blood-red flame---- her gaze was resolute and childish. "Oh, I know, I know that I have a murderer at large who I can't catch, and I know that you know how to help me, or that you can at least find some clues. I see what you mean, what you want me to do, but I really need time. “

Andrew noticed that Hermione Granger was currently in a state of losing his mind and could not be persuaded at the moment, and if he continued to talk about it, the only consequence would be that Hermione would ignore him for several days, and it would make it more difficult to lose it in the future, so Andrew had to nod, "Don't worry, this is just a small case, even if the first vampire count is just a small CASE."

Hermione stared bravely into Andrew's eyes for about a second before turning her face away--- Andrew remained closed, nothing leaking out of his mind--- her face looked tired, sincere, and proud. "Please, Andy, let me finish this case, and I'll do what you suggest. “

Standard strong woman.

Andrew nodded. "Okay. I'll start tonight. "Maybe it does take a little time to find a few vampire wizards, where are the addresses?

Hermione nodded, exhaled without looking at Andrew, and said, "Let's go." Then he walked to the door. This time, Andrew didn't get ahead of her.

When the two walked out, the uniformed police officers were still messing around outside. Lucas was nowhere to be seen. The Muggle forensic and post-mortem teams had arrived, standing impatiently and waiting for us to walk out. Then they swarmed up with plastic bags, tweezers, lamps, and other miscellaneous items, and walked past the two of them into the room.

As the two waited for the prehistoric elevator to slowly climb to the seventh floor, Hermione brushed her windswept hair with her hands. She wore a gold watch, which reminded me. "Oh, yes. Andrew asked her. "Are you ready for tonight's date with the two ministers?"

She stiffened, as if she was about to face a final exam, but she hadn't read the book once. "Thank you for reminding me Andrew, and for reminding me of this annoyance, what do you think I should report? Tell them that the Dark Wizard has completely broken through the restrictions and started to ruin the peace of London?"
