Chapter 1001: Clumsy Auror Tonks
Truth be told, the Muggles who committed the murder behind the disappearances are actually easy to find.
Because most of them felt extremely remorse and fear for the evil deeds they had done under the "momentary confusion" after regaining their true nature, they basically stayed near the scene of the crime afterwards.
Therefore, if the Aurors wanted to find them. In fact, you just need to go to the local police station and other places and walk around in turn.
It was noon, and Tonks, an Auror, was walking down the crowded street. Her dress was not much different from that of modern rebellious girls, allowing her to blend in with the Muggle crowd with ease, and even the ability to disguise Maggs could be dispensed with.
"Oh, when we're done with this trip, it's time to grab something to fill your stomach......"
As he walked, Tonks gently touched his somewhat empty belly, feeling that he would be able to eat a whole dragon in a while.
ββ¦β¦ Well, I'm going to Blake's house for lunch today! β
Thinking about it, she suddenly muttered softly in a volume that only she could hear.
Obviously, the reason why Tonks chose the old mansion was to meet Lupin, who had been staying there most of the time to deal with intelligence.
Their couple, who have a slight age gap, have become more and more affectionate in recent years.
Of course, although Tonks is always very enthusiastic about the love she chooses, she is also quite a responsible Auror. After putting aside the heat in her heart for the time being, she changed her mind again and accelerated the pace of progress with a serious attitude.
More than ten minutes ago, she had apparitioned herself into an uninhabited alley in the neighborhood, which had four police stations, one large and three small, according to the documents kept in the Auror office.
This time, according to Kingsley's assignment, she was tasked with investigating three of the smaller substations and sending the specific criminals on the list to the Ministry of Magic dungeons without the Muggle police officers knowing.
In fact, the task was so urgent today that most of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic had already been dispatched. For example, Nymphadora Tonks is just one of them.
"Is this it?"
Looking up at the blue streetlights that represented the British police station, Tonks didn't choose to blend in through the main entrance, but naturally turned to the right to leave the crowd and turned into the alley next to him.
Most of the buildings in this neighborhood are made of red bricks, and they are so clean that even the alleys that are not usually walked on are cleaned by cleaners every day.
Winds down the alley to the back door of the police station, Tonks looked around and at some of the windows above to make sure there was no one before he took out his wand and quickly pointed towards a closed grille window.
"Click."
After the snap of the window snapping off, she swung her wand to the left and right twice, causing the iron fence inside the window to tilt to the sides like softened spaghetti.
This is the most basic Transfiguration technique, and even the middle and lower grades of Hogwarts can easily do it. As an Auror, who is particularly good at Transfiguration, it's as simple as eating and drinking.
When the window hole was wide open and there was no obstacle, Tonks immediately reached out and grabbed the iron fence that had become hard again, and leaped into the room with only one belly and leg.
She'd already seen it before, it was just an old room full of filing cabinets. Judging by her experience in the past few years at the Ministry of Magic, it should be an ordinary archive room for old materials.
"There really isn't any."
Once inside, Tonks looked around left and right again, and then waved his half-held wand backhanded, restoring the iron fence that had been bent to its original state.
However, the fact that there was no one in the old archives does not mean that there are no guards outside. As he walked softly to the back of the door, Tonks heard the voices of two men alternately coming in through the crack in the door.
ββ¦β¦ Abel, it's almost lunch break again, and I heard that today's lunch has changed to a fast food restaurant, and I don't know if their fries are crispy or not. β
"Hey! Don't always worry about eatingβare you really going to sit here and watch the files forever? β
"Otherwise, what else can you do, you've been put here for a bastard day, do you still want to be promoted? Don't be silly, when you sit here like me for another two or three years, you'll start thinking about lunch. β
"I don't think so...... Listen, Abel! When I went to collect the files from the task force, I heard that the number of cases in all London boroughs has been rising frequently, and the detainees' compartments are running out of space. If you think about it, even if you change the guard, it's much better than talking about lunch and leaving work all day here......"
After only a few words, Tonks was not ready to listen to it anymore.
Although they also happened to talk about their mission, she already knew everything she should know, so naturally she didn't need to get information from these even more uninformed Muggles.
After hearing roughly where the two men were, Tonks quietly unscrewed the doorknob and poked his head slightly.
Outside the file room was a corridor, and the two police officers in charge of guarding it were sitting at the entrance of the corridor not far away, and there seemed to be some miscellaneous items such as record books on the table.
When it comes to disguise, Tonks is a good hand, but when it comes to stealth, she can only sigh secretly.
Knowing that it would be very difficult for her to pass past the two police officers without being detected, she simply waved her wand and let the two of them fall asleep on the table in advance.
Then she went to the entrance of the hallway, and cautiously looked out a few more times. Unexpectedly, someone outside happened to pass by at the other end and was walking in the direction of the stairs.
"Oh!"
With a soft snort in his heart, Tonks hurriedly withdrew his gaze and ducked to the side.
Otherwise, why can't she always carry out tasks alone! In desperation, her careless mistake of not paying attention to details was repeated - when she stepped back, she accidentally touched the thermos cup on the table.
Seeing that the cup was about to fall under the table, Tonks hastily reached out his wand, and a silent levitation spell narrowly stopped before the cup hit the ground.
"It's okay...... It's rare that Kingsley is willing to let me try it alone again this time, but I can't mess it up again! β
Just like at the old Black House, almost every time she went back to the kitchen, she would alarm the portrait of Sirius's mother. Either the cloth covering it was rubbed off by her, or she kicked the wooden frame next to the wall, and there were even cases of flat wrestling.
It can be seen that although her magical talent is good, she is really not suitable for stealth or tracking. Being able to be this Auror is really the result of her unremitting efforts.
Controlling the thermos and putting it back on the table, Tonks dared to glance out twice.
After making sure that there was no one left, several controlled Muggle banishment spells fell down into the nearby corridors and aisles, allowing her to ensure that her follow-up was smooth.
Fortunately, this time it was a simple mission in the Muggle world, and if it had been in the wizarding world, she would have been discovered by other wizards long ago.
In this way, Tonks searched around the police station in the same way, and finally found a row of rooms for detention and detention.
As the previous police officer said, the frequent occurrence of cases has led to people living in every room, and some even have two people living there.
Presumably to prevent the suspects from getting into a conflict, they were all chained to one side of the room.
After driving the guards away, Tonks was able to open the iron door and gather the Muggle suspects together, and with the help of the portkey, he disappeared from the police hallway in a blink of an eye.
As for the rest of the mess, leave it to the follow-up memory cancellers to give it a headache!
But Tonks, who had just left here, didn't notice it at all, and her actions fell into the eyes of one person from beginning to end. When she took all the Muggles out of the police station, a familiar figure suddenly appeared around the corner outside the hallway.
"Ahem, ahem...... What's the matter with this Auror, who is so procrastinating in the face of Muggles......"
Obviously, this is the mysterious trench-coat wizard who has met with Maca, with little Cathy, and even with Helbo. Although it always seems that she knows a lot of things, this time she doesn't seem to know Tonks, but thinks of her as an ordinary Auror.
But after muttering softly, the man said:
"Forget it...... Anyway, has Mr. McLean noticed? β
Looking at the empty detention room, I don't know what kind of expression appeared on the face hidden in the shadow of the brim. But I heard a few more coughs, and the sound of slightly heavy breathing proved that the "false prophet" was really not in good health.
After a moment's thought, the man nodded slightly, as if he was sure.
"Well, I believe that with his wisdom, it is time to understand the meaning of what I am indirectly conveying. In that case, there is no need to continue to create disappearances...... Ahem, take a little more time, and you can also prepare more backup means. β
After sorting out his thoughts like this, the figure standing in the corner suddenly faded away quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he hid his figure again.
Whether the man stayed where he was, or whether he just left, no one knows.
Not to mention this mysterious wizard who Maca secretly called a "false prophet", actions similar to Tonks's mission are also being staged in various police stations in and around the city of London.
Of course, compared to the slightly clumsy Tonks, many experienced Aurors are much more efficient. By the evening of the same day, the Ministry's dungeons were filled with many Muggle suspects who had been sent over for centralized custody.
No, in fact, they are all victims as well...... Isn't it? (https:)
