Chapter 616: Four Suspects
"You shouldn't ask me, Hals! As a warrior, Harry had to solve this puzzle on his own...... Don't expect me to cheat for you! Moody grinned, playfully.
Ivan glanced at Moody, thought for a moment, and then moved on. "Did you suspect the person who threw Harry's name into the Goblet of Fire?"
"There are four people who are suspicious!" Moody smacked his lips as he walked towards the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, answering Ivan's question.
"The first one is the Karkaroff you just met, you may not know it, he was a Death Eater before, he did a lot of bad things, I personally sent him to Azkaban!"
"Originally, according to his crimes, he should have spent the rest of his life in Azkaban with the Dementors. However, he made an agreement with Crouch, who was still the director of the Executive Division at the time, and was able to obtain a waiver on the basis of a list of people who confessed to the Death Eaters......"
"Then why did he, a former Death Eater, become the headmaster of Durmstran?" Ivan wondered about the question.
"Because he was already notorious in the British wizarding world, no one treated him, so this guy fled to Northern Europe, as for how he became the headmaster, I don't know, maybe not many people there know about his past!" Moody shook his head and explained.
Ivan pondered for a moment, sorting out the information Moody had given in his mind.
He didn't think Karkarov was suspicious.
After all, this guy is an out-and-out traitor, and Voldemort may not dare to believe him when he is weak.
Moreover, Karkaroff's performance during this period was no different from the original plane, and he even planned to lower their score and make them lose the game.
"And what about the remaining three suspects?" Ivan ruled out Karkaroff suspicion in his heart, looked at Moody, and continued to ask.
"The second is Snape!" Moody's eyes narrowed, and the sound of wooden legs echoing through the hallway, and his words were mixed in.
"Like Karkaroff, he was a Death Eater, but Dumbledore saved him.
Also, I've got some information at school these days, and I've been told by a lot of people that Snape has been targeting Harry for a few school years, and that if anyone really wants to kill Harry, he's the most suspicious person. ”
No, he is the least suspicious candidate!
Ivan rolled his eyes, disagreeing with Moody's claim, but understood that to outsiders, Snape was indeed the number one suspect in Harry's murder.
"As for the third suspect—" Moody snuffed out, hesitating.
The two of them walked all the way to the office of the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and Moody took out the key to open the office door and strode inside.
"You haven't told me yet, who is it?" Ivan secretly clenched his wand and walked in, saying in a pretended relaxed manner.
But when he walked into the office, Ivan's brows were furrowed, and there was a faint smell in it.
Looking closely, Ivan noticed that the entire Defence Against the Dark Arts office was very cluttered, with all kinds of papers, newspapers, and all kinds of strange small objects piled up on the table, and a few clothes that had not yet had time to be washed were also hanging here.
"Oh, it's time to clean up, I've been busy with classes and surveys these days, and I don't have much time to tidy up some things......" Moody looked a little embarrassed, he walked briskly to the side and opened the window, then waved his wand at the house.
"Clean up!"
As Moody recited the incantation, the wind of magic swept through the office, scattering documents and newspapers floating up and being stuffed into drawers under the influence of an inexplicable force.
A large number of strange little creatures crawled out of the cracks in the tables and chairs, and were swept out of the window by the wind of magic, and the strange smell was also swept away......
Taking advantage of this, Ivan looked around in the office.
The most striking thing here is a huge mirror, which is hung on the wall opposite the door, but does not reflect the scene in the room.
Instead, there were many figures dangling in the mirror, and one of them was already standing very close, as if he could step out of the mirror after a few more steps.
In the corner of the small table next to it was a golden, antenna-like thing, buzzing sound.
Ivan glanced at it and found several alert devices in a row, and couldn't help but be glad that he didn't have a hot head before to break in to investigate Moody, otherwise he would have been discovered.
Then Ivan's eyes focused on the boxes that were placed in the office......
"The third suspect is Barty Crouch!"
Ivan was thinking about how to find a reason to unpack and confirm when Moody's voice suddenly came.
"What?" Ivan was stunned, turned his head sharply, and looked at Moody with surprise, surprise.
After a while, Ivan asked calmly. "Why? Isn't Mr. Crouch a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic? Or the former Executive Director, you told me that he tried many Death Eaters and imprisoned them in Azkaban, what reason did he have to kill Harry? ”
"I don't know, but from what I've learned, Crouch's recent form is very wrong!" Moody walked briskly in front of Ivan with his cane.
"I heard Bagman say that Crouch has not been in Hogwarts Castle for the past few days, and I thought at first that he was going back to the Ministry of Magic to deal with things, but I asked the people in the Communication Department, and they didn't see Crouch!"
"That's a lot of fun! Crouch, as the organizer of this triwizard, is now nowhere to be found, and his movements are unknown...... "Moody's expression was very solemn.
Ivan nodded, so it seemed that Barty Crouch was indeed very suspicious.
He hadn't forgotten that the two fathers and sons had the same name and surname, and that Barty Jr. would have been able to fool the Living Point Map if he had disguised himself as his father, as the names shown on it were identical.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Crouch has disappeared for a long time because he has been killed!
"And what about the last one who doubts?" Ivan asked, steady.
"He's right here, isn't he?" Moody's words became a little erratic, and the magic eye was fixed on Ivan.
"You doubt me?" Ivan looked at Moody dissatisfied.
"Don't blame me for being cautious, Hals, in fact you are no less suspicious than the others, and you managed to cross the age line that night, didn't you? You've got plenty of time to do something with the Goblet of Fire......" Moody questioned mercilessly.
