"He's not Barty Crouch Jr."

Staring at the scrawny man in the cell for a long time, Pei Chen's face became more and more puzzled, and after about ten minutes or so, he didn't make any other movements, until the dementors outside the corridor had already gone back and forth several times, Mr. Sol could hardly hold back, and he squeezed out such a sentence with an ugly face.

"What?" Mr. Sol felt that he didn't understand Pei Chen's words too much, he looked at the prisoner inside suspiciously for a while, who was dying and did not react to their arrival in the slightest, and carefully studied it for a while before he dared to say with certainty:

"That's right, he's Barty Crouch Jr.," Mr. Saul even took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and compared them for a while before ascertaining his opinion, "just a lot of weight loss?" It's true that it doesn't match the person in the photo, but the prisoners in Azkaban are like this, not to mention that Barty Jr. has been locked up here for a long time. ”

"It's been closed for a long time...... Time? Pei Chen pinched his chin, shook his head and said, "It's not for this reason, I mean-this person is definitely not Barty Crouch Jr.!" ”

I don't know if it's because the psychic ability is about to break through, or if the prisoners here have been tortured to the brink of collapse, Pei Chen has penetrated into people's hearts so smoothly for the first time, reading thoughts. The E-level skill [Thought Probe], which was originally only able to read shallow mood swings and some fleeting thought fragments, actually exerted the effect of an A+-level [Reading Mind] skill here.

A large amount of fragmentary information was extracted by Pei Chen from the depths of the other party's almost collapsed mind without hesitation, but most of it was useless garbage information, and it was disposed of by Pei Chen in an instant, but after the remaining memory fragments that impressed the other party were pieced together, Pei Chen still figured out most of the things.

Barty Crouch...... Barty Crouch Jr., and this ...... Venerable madam......" Pei Chen said in a low voice, and when he looked at the prisoner in the prison, there was a trace of inexplicable respect in his eyes.

He turned to Mr. Thor and said seriously, "You know what? Even the most heinous criminals have mothers, and they are likely to be respected. Because the brilliance of mother's love should not have the boundary between good and evil...... Heh, this reminds me of a sentence......" As he spoke, Pei Chen's voice lowered.

"What?" Mr. Saul was still puzzled.

"Nothing." Pei Chen raised his head and said suddenly, there was a trace of pity in his eyes, but then it disappeared, replaced by a touch of coldness and fierceness, "Mr. Saul, the one inside is definitely not Barty Crouch Jr. himself!" I suspect someone mixed in with a polyjuice decoction to help Barty Crouch Jr. escape from prison, probably for the past month! ”

Mr. Saul's mouth opened wide in surprise, stunned but not in disbelief, and with an expression of 'you must be joking', he stared at Pei Chen tightly.

"If you don't believe me, we can spend a little bit of time experimenting. The duration of the compound decoction is only one hour at most, which means that the person inside must drink the medicine every hour, otherwise he will be discovered. Pei Chen didn't think about how much the mother had paid for her son, and whether her doing so would make her completely desperate.

But even if he knew, he had to do it, because this was a good opportunity to cover up his plan with Dumbledore and the others in the most clever way, and after such a foreshadowing, even Sirius's next escape from prison would not arouse too much suspicion.

Professor Thor gritted his teeth, and then decisively agreed, after all, this was no joke. At the same time, he also wondered in his heart that Dumbledore suddenly sent such a person to see Barty Crouch Jr., who had been locked up for so long, could it be just for such a thing?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought so, and at the same time, the more he was in awe of the white-bearded wizard, and the more he trusted Pei Chen.

"Still, Professor Lyle...... The person inside really remembers to drink the medicine? I think he's going to die at any moment...... Besides, how could anyone be so stupid as to use themselves to come to Azkaban for someone else, this is simply the worst place in the world, if there is hell at all. Still, he had some doubts.

"Yes, maybe the person inside just remembers to take his medicine on time and not expose it now. If you are really not at ease, you can also go in and check directly to see if there is a compound decoction inside......" Pei Chen said silently, he quietly stared at this place for a while, and then continued.

"Of course you'd think this is the worst place in the world other than Hell, because you don't have any vital people left here, Mr. Saul."

"If it is to suffer or even die on behalf of her loved ones, her heart is also sweet, it seems like hell, like heaven."

Pei Chen listened to the voice that only a pure heart could hear, a woman's eager voice, whether it was surprised or anxious, but it was all shouting the same name or the same sentence - "Little Barty" and "My Son......

The voice could not be isolated, and it came out faintly and unrelentingly through the heart defense that had almost collapsed.

Without warning, Pei Chen suddenly turned around: "Mr. Sol, please watch first, I feel a little uncomfortable and need to go out to catch my breath." Without waiting for Mr. Sol to say anything, he strode out.

However, Mr. Sol didn't notice Pei Chen's abnormality, he was just stunned for a while: "...... 'her'?" ”

Thinking of Pei Chen's words to him for no reason, Mr. Sol seemed to understand something, and was immediately stunned, and looked at the prison hesitantly.

"Shocked! Azkaban's first prison escape case, is it maternal love or doting? 》…… This is the headline of this issue of the Daily Prophet, what do you think, Professor Lyle? ”

Three days later, Hogwarts Castle, Headmaster's Office.

The whitebearded wizard threw the newspaper in his hand to Pei Chen on the other side, and asked in a heavy tone.

Pei Chen glanced at Snape, who was sitting next to him, took the newspaper quietly, glanced at it at a glance, and browsed the entire article in three seconds: "Tsk, this kind of iron-blooded style and public knowledge, what's so good...... What exactly are you trying to say? Dumbledore. ”

"I mean, is that really the right thing we did?" The old man sighed and stretched out a finger full of wrinkles and age spots, and tapped the newspaper lightly a few times. Pei Chen saw that the place he was pointing to was that there was a report on the punishment of the former Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch, and the news that his wife had died of a serious illness yesterday.

"I can't say we're doing the right thing, but at least it's not wrong. Although that mother may have been very unwilling and even resentful of me when she died! Pei Chen said in a deep voice, "But I also admit it, I don't think Barty Crouch Jr. has any reason to survive on his mother's corpse." ”

"But didn't you say that the brilliance of mother's love has no boundaries between good and evil?"

"Yes, I still maintain this opinion, but that doesn't mean that I will let the reason of motherly love stand in my way, and it is impossible for me to endure such a righteous excuse to escape punishment one by one." Pei Chen nodded and said slowly.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, looking at the two people in front of him who were also weirdly exuding the aura of 'don't get out of the living, get away from acquaintances' today, holding his forehead with a headache and sighing long.

"Did you know that Barty Crouch Jr.'s crime was actually to find out Voldemort's whereabouts, and he and the Death Eaters did whatever it took to torture the Longbottoms to find out...... But we don't have any evidence to prove that he is really a criminal, he is just one of the people who was sent in directly, the only difference may be that it was only his father who sent him in. ”

"yes, so what?" Pei Chen sneered and said, he was obviously in a bad mood in the past few days, and his whole body was exuding a super terrifying low pressure, "What I care about is not how many people he tortured or what kind of crime he has, I just think he deserves to die." ”

"Damn it?" Dumbledore's face was strange, he had never seen the man in front of him hold such a strong hatred for a person.

"Well, Dumbledore, if you were captured in Azkaban, and your mother offered to exchange herself for you, to suffer in your place, to die in your place...... Would you be willing? Pei Chen became a little impatient, and his words were no longer so polite, "Harry's mother died for Harry, and I admire her because it was her choice and sacrifice. In the same way, I didn't have any ill feelings for Harry, because he was just a baby. ”

The low pressure on Professor Snape's body grew more and more terrifying.

However, Pei Chen didn't care at all, and was still saying his opinion: "But Barty Crouch Jr., what kind of thing is he?" How old was he when he was caught? How old was he when his mother came to replace him? It doesn't matter if his mother proposed it first, or if his mother was going to die...... The problem is that he actually agreed to such an approach, exchanging his mother's life for his own survival! ”

Dumbledore looked at Pei Chen blankly, as if he didn't know him, and after a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Lyle, I didn't expect you to be unexpectedly fierce in this regard!" Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about Sirius, when do you think he's going to act? ”

"It's been a few days." Pei Chen breathed calmly, relaxed himself and replied.

"Just these days? Why are you so sure? The Whitebeard wizard was visibly suspicious.

Pei Chen lowered his eyes and said lightly: "I saw Sirius a few days ago, you can't believe that he has been locked up in Azkaban for more than eleven years...... Aside from his poor physical fitness and health, his mental strength was better than that of all the other prisoners combined, and he didn't look like he had lost his mind at all......"

"Since he is still sober, then he will naturally judge when is the best time to act, because Azkaban has just exposed this prison escape case, and the alert level will definitely be greatly increased in the near future, and if you don't seize the opportunity now, there may be no hope in the future. And ......"

"Barty Crouch has been arrested, Barty Crouch Jr. has escaped without a trace, and now the Ministry of Magic is in a hurry, and if they don't escape from prison at this time, do they have to wait for them to react?"
