Chapter 170: Hagrid is the murderer

"Hello, Hagrid. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info," Riddle said in a stern tone.

The boy snapped the door shut, blocking the box, and he stood up, his tall figure not at all like a child, "What are you doing here, Tom?" The boy's voice was a little panicked, as if some ulterior secret had been discovered.

Riddle took a few steps forward and said in a solemn tone, "It's time to finish." He said with a little regret, "I have no choice but to denounce you, Hagrid." They're already thinking about closing Hogwarts if the attack doesn't end, and that's all I can do. ”

"What did you say?" the boy didn't understand what Riddle meant, what was his business.

"I know you didn't mean to kill someone, but monsters aren't good pets, and I think you just wanted to let them out and move, and it's over. Riddle said firmly.

"It definitely didn't kill anyone. The big boy argued, took a few steps back in fear, and leaned against the closed door, behind which there was a strange clattering sound.

"It's all over, Hagrid. Riddle took a few more steps closer, "The parents of the dead girl are coming to Hogwarts tomorrow, and the school will at least guarantee that the guy who killed the girl will be killed." ”

"It's not it. The big boy roared, his loud voice echoing through the passage, "It's not it, it definitely won't." ”

"Get out of here!" Riddle shouted, pulling out his wand.

His spell summoned a flash of fire that lit up the corridor. The door behind the big boy popped open, and he was slammed against the wall by the sheer force. A monster sprang out of the door, causing Harry to let out a scream, but only he could hear all his voices.

A large, shaggy creature, with many black legs, many terrifying scarlet eyes, and two sharp knife-like pincers.

Riddle raised his wand again, but he only read a piece of armor. Then, the monster that fled in a panic slammed him to the ground and rushed out of the corridor as quickly as possible.

It wasn't until the monster was about to disappear that Riddle stumbled to his feet, holding his wand up at the monster's back. At this time, the big boy also saw it, and the boy suddenly lunged at him, grabbed the wand in his hand, knocked him to the ground, and shouted, "No..."

"Stop," a voice came from behind everyone.

Harry was about to look back when there was another whirlwind of light and shadow, and after a weightless fall, Harry sat down on the floor.

He shook his head, and found Hermione and Ron sitting on the ground as blankly as he was, their eyes full of dazed and dazed.

"It's Hagrid, who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago. Ron said with a look of incredulity.

He knew that Hagrid's hobbies were problematic and that he was doing things that were outrageous. But I always knew that Hagrid was a good person, but I didn't expect Hagrid to be so outrageous.

Harry and Hermione groaned and didn't speak, continuing to think about what they were seeing.

"Riddle must have found the wrong person, Hagrid is not the heir to open the Chamber of Secrets. The last monster that came out of my book was the eight-eyed spider. It is a dangerous and evil monster, but the Slytherin heir controls a basilisk. Hermione quickly noticed something suspicious.

She continued, "The monster Hagrid is hiding is an eight-eyed spider, and while they are just as evil and ferocious, they don't have the ability to petrify people. What's more, the eight-eyed spider cannot be domesticated, and the Slytherin heirs can't control it. ”

As soon as Hermione said her suspicions, Harry and Ron immediately recalled the scene.

Riddle was a little suspicious, and he seemed to hold back when facing the eight-eyed spider. He'd put a protective spell on himself, and at the last moment he could stop the Eight-Eyed Spider from escaping, and he only had to wait a little longer, and finally the teacher came. ”

Harry found another suspicion, he didn't believe Hagrid was the murderer, and immediately began to think that Riddle was suspicious.

"You're too demanding, Riddle is only a student after all, and it won't be easy for him to deal with an eight-eyed spider alone, not to mention that Hagrid attacked him in the end. Hermione didn't think there was anything wrong with Riddle's actions, after all, in the face of such a huge and terrifying monster, everyone would be busy and make mistakes.

"After Hagrid was fired, the attacks must have stopped. Otherwise, Riddle would not have received the Special Contribution Award. But we know that Hagrid and the Eight-Eyed Spider are not murderers. ”

Ron didn't like Riddle, so he also felt that Riddle was very suspicious, "He was too eager to report Hagrid, very eager to report others, in addition to really finding the murderer, the other biggest possibility is to frame him." ”

I can understand Riddle's thoughts. Harry found Riddle suspicious, but he wasn't completely biased because of that.

"If Hogwarts is closed, Riddle will have to go back to the Muggle orphanage that he hates, and I can understand the feeling, he certainly doesn't want to go back, he doesn't want the house to be closed. ”

"He had a reason to denounce Hagrid, but that didn't mean he didn't want to frame Hagrid. The two most critical characters, since Hagrid is not a murderer, who else can the murderer be besides Riddle?"

Ron was more convinced that Riddle was the murderer, "Riddle didn't want the academy to be shut down, so he had to end the attack immediately, and if he was the murderer, then he could only frame the other students immediately and stop." Otherwise, he would have to catch the murderer. ”

Ron paused and said meaningfully, "Obviously, we know that he didn't catch the killer. ”

"I'm going to impress you, Ron, great reasoning. Harry was immediately convinced by Ron, after all, he had been suspicious of Riddle from the beginning, and now that he had a reasonable explanation, he naturally believed this conclusion.

"Nice inference, but there's also the possibility that after Hagrid became the scapegoat, the killer himself stopped. After all, not everyone can accept that the academy is closed. Hermione admits that Ron's reasoning can explain the problem, but it's not out of the question.

"It's a possibility, but now the biggest suspect is undoubtedly Riddle. Harry didn't continue to argue, and Hermione's explanation made sense, but that kind of speculation didn't make any sense to them, and wouldn't give them more information.

"But what's the use of knowing that?" Ron suddenly realized that even knowing that Riddle might be the murderer didn't seem to help the current situation.
