Chapter 559
After receiving Professor McGonagall's affirmative answer, the first thing that came to Zhang Xu's mind was to save a piece of maple syrup muffin pudding and a little elixir. He had planned to talk to Mully tonight, but now there was no one left.
Zhang Xu recalled every detail of his contact with Miu Li at noon today, and said, "After leaving the screaming shack with Delacour at noon today, we met her on the way back to the village. Then she invited us to lunch, and we parted ways with her after lunch. β
"Was there anything unusual about her during this time?" Professor McGonagall asked, saying that what Zhang Xu said was no different from what other witnesses had said.
"The fact that she invited both of us at the same time while she was with Delacour was the most abnormal thing." Zhang Xu replied, "There are some things that everyone knows, so I won't say more." β
Zhang Xu and Miao Li's grievances, the professors present all know that it's just that all parties have done a clean job, and even Scrimgeour couldn't find evidence that the two sides killed each other, and in the end, the pot could only be firmly buckled on Voldemort. Even if Scrimgeour had asked Voldemort, Voldemort would not have admitted that he had become the knife in the murder with a knife. And a certain Western reporter couldn't ask anything, she had already taken herself out.
But the two students who came to report the case didn't know, they have now made up a million-word text about the heroine being destroyed by the villain.
Zhang Xu continued: "There are other stranger places as well. β
It's just that Zhang Xu looked at the room of people in the office next, and then repeated to Professor McGonagall what Mully had said during the meal.
A room full of people in the office saw Zhang Xu looking at Professor McGonagall steadily, and then his mouth was closed one by one, but not a single sound leaked out.
The professors here all had a pain in their heads, the last time Zhang Xu and Harry had disappeared together for a few days, they were so scared that they almost flew up. But at that time, Ginny told them the truth, so they had a bottom in their hearts.
And this time the disappearance of the students, no one told them what the missing person had done, whether he had defected or been killed, no one knew.
Now they have no information other than a little eyewitness information in Hogsmeade, and no matter how clever their brains are, they can't do it. All they could know now was that Professor McGonagall's face was getting darker and darker after listening to what Zhang Xu said.
Hogwarts has undercover Professor McGonagall knows, Zhang Xu will get a copy every time she corrects additional homework, and Lupin, who is in charge of intelligence in Hogwarts, and Moody, who is in charge of internal security, also have corresponding reports to her, but Professor McGonagall does not agree to the purge of students, so these students can still quietly jump in Hogwarts.
After listening to Zhang Xu's story, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but rub her sore temples, because Mully's reaction was so abnormal. If she wants to turn herself in, she can find Slughorn or herself, even if she finds Zhang Xu, it is not surprising. But she didn't have anything else to say after breaking the news, and disappeared after a dull lunch, did she disappear by accident, or did she give some hints before leaving.
Professor McGonagall was not good at this kind of thing, and after letting the students who had come to report the crime leave, she repeated Zhang Xu's words to those present.
Ξ£(ΒΊβΌΠΒΊβΌ; "There are Death Eater spies in Hogwarts?!" β
Frank Longbottom was startled, his eyes popping out in surprise.
In addition to the four deans, the faces of several other professors also changed drastically.
"Then why don't you let them go?" Frank asks Professor McGonagall, "Do you want to keep it for the New Year?" β
"They were all forced." Zhang Xu said to Frank, "Their family was threatened by Death Eaters or even mysterious people, so they had to do this. β
"If we kick them out of Hogwarts, then the only thing that awaits them and their end is to be tortured and then killed."
"And now that the spies have been eliminated, the Death Eaters can find a new batch of student families to take hostage and threaten the students. Maybe they'll kidnap Old Lady Longbottom and threaten Neville. β
"So instead of bothering to find out who the spy is when the time comes, it's better to simply use what has been exposed now."
Frank was unhappy with Hogwarts' approach, but the Ministry's hand couldn't reach into Hogwarts.
"Then she may have left on her own." "Who knows what mission the mystery man has given her." β
"In that case, she wouldn't have to blow herself up in front of me." Zhang Xu replied thoughtfully, "At first, I thought that her behavior was aimed at Delacul, but now that she is missing, this assumption is not appropriate. β
"If the Death Eaters called her away, but where else could she, a barely cute, mediocre girl with modest abilities, a middle-class family, and poorer than Peeves, play a greater role than she did as a spy at Hogwarts?"
"Could it be that her affairs have been exposed?" Lupin asked.
"No, it won't." Lupin's answer was Moody, "If her affair is exposed, she won't be the only one who will disappear with her." The suspicious mystery will take care of her companions together. β
Zhang Xu originally planned to let Lupin contact Snape, the biggest "Huo Spy" among the Death Eaters, but a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, it seemed that this matter should not alarm him?
A group of professors discussed for a while, but they couldn't come up with a single reason, and Professor McGonagall reluctantly told everyone to go back first, and then pay attention to any other clues.
After everyone left, only Zhang Xu stayed in the office.
"Anything else, Zhang?" Professor McGonagall spotted Zhang Xu, who had not yet left.
Zhang Xu walked to the desk and placed the carton containing the maple syrup muffin pudding in front of Professor McGonagall.
"This maple syrup muffin pudding was originally intended to be eaten by Muli when she talked to her tonight, but now that she's gone, I'll give it to the professor." Zhang Xu said.
"You didn't put anything weird like a real potion in it, did you?" Professor McGonagall asked, staring at Zhang Xu.
"No, no!" Zhang Xu shook his hand and said, "Before I could release it, you called me here." β
Professor McGonagall looked at Zhang Xu and said that there was no reason to fool herself, "Hehe...... I'd be happier if you said it was bought specifically for me. β
