Chapter 97: The Big Net Behind Crouch

After saying goodbye to Nicol Lemay and Bassida, Calvin returned to his office, pulled out a piece of parchment, and reworked the recent events related to Crouch.

Barty Crouch, the Stonehenge embezzlement case, the Sirius case and Bertha Jorkins.

Calvin drew a solid line between Barty Crouch and Stonehenge and Sirius, and a dotted line between him and Bertha Joggins with a question mark.

If you want to rescue Blake, you can only find loopholes in the trial process of the year, and the biggest loophole is Barty Crouch himself.

If Batty Crouch could be brought down directly, most of the task of rescuing Black would be completed - the Ministry of Magic would not uphold the verdict of a downed man.

The question now is whether the Stonehenge corruption case can bring down this tumbler in the Ministry of Magic - his son was revealed to be a Death Eater back then, and the impact on him was only related to the position of Minister of Magic.

Calvin took out the crystal ball that contained the memories of the screaming shack and watched the memories over and over again, repeating the scene with Barty Crouch.

In the end, he sadly came to the conclusion that the incident did not make any difference to Barty Crouch. With Fudge's temperament, he would only ask Barty to hand over the money, even if he understood.

It seems that we have to think of other ways, I wonder if the little ladybug has found any useful information there.

Calvin was having a headache for Barty when someone knocked on the door outside his office.

"Come in." Calvin cleaned up the table a little and said lazily.

Aureliano, a tall Brazilian wizard, opened the door, sat down across from Calvin, and greeted with a little restraint, "Good afternoon, Mr. Cape." ”

"Ah, it's Aureliano here," Calvin enthusiastically asked Amor to make a cup of coffee for Buendia, "how does it feel to be back on campus these days, isn't it much better than the days in Tumbledown Alley?" ”

"I have to say that it is a novel experience, I didn't expect that after more than ten years of leaving school, I would be able to be with the energetic little wizards again," Aureliano gradually opened up the conversation, "There are many little wizards who like me very much, such as the twins in the third grade, who seem to be called Weather. ”

"Who?" Calvin couldn't help but bite his tongue, "I guess it's called Weasley." ”

"Yes, yes, you know, I don't know much about British surnames," Buendia said, "and the two of them often come to me after class and ask questions about Defence Against the Dark Arts. He also asked me if I could take them to field training during the summer vacation. ”

"yes, yes," Calvin laughed, "George and Fred are really good at it. Aureliano, you promise them that the summer vacation, no, next month, next month, next month will take them to Tumbledown Alley, I will teach them a deep lesson. ”

Buendia gasped, every time she saw Calvin's expression, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky, "Mr. Capet, forget it, the two of them are still children." ”

"Hmph, these two troublemakers, don't care if they can tear down Tumbledown Alley." Calvin remembered his milk that was constantly being stolen, and the Milk Candy that was active in the Hogwarts Underground Market. Unexpectedly, this time the twins actually wanted to put their hands into the underworld in Tumbledown Alley, and if they didn't discount their hands, they wouldn't know the pain.

Buendia drew a cross on his chest, hoping that the two of them would not be too miserable by Calvin.

"Aside from the two of them, what about the other students?" Calvin asked again, "Didn't cause you any trouble." ”

"Well, Mr. Capet," BuendΓ­a said, scratching her head, and choosing a more euphemistic one, "the children are very curious, and many fifth-graders are very interested in the knowledge of the second and third grades. ”

"Ahem," Calvin nearly squirted his coffee, "Buendia, I'm not the principal, you don't have to say that." ”

Buendia nodded, "Then I'll be blunt, when it comes to Defence Against the Dark Arts, Hogwarts is far worse than Castrobuscher." ”

"But overall, it's been a good campus experience."

Calvin smiled, "Well, I said that being a professor is more promising than doing smuggling, do you want to continue to work." ”

"No, no," Buendia shuddered, "I'm not going to do it for the last six months." ”

"Look, it scares you." Calvin laughed, "What if you weren't teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?" ”

"So," Buendia excited, "you're going to introduce me to Beauxbatons as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor?" ”

The position of Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts and the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Beauxbatons may sound like no different, but in reality the difference is worlds apart, the former is a rat in the sewers, and the latter is a coveted fragrant bread.

Calvin laughed, "You think beautifully, Professor Robespierre is not planning to resign yet?" I mean, if I run a school and you're going to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, why wouldn't you do it? ”

"That'll do fine." BuendΓ­a was ecstatic that he had finally fulfilled his wish to work under Mr. Capet.

Calvin waved his hand, "It's still early, did you come to me for anything else?" ”

Buendia nodded, "The people you asked us to check have some results, and Figo gave me all the information he could find." ”

Calvin nodded, "Bertha Jorkins, huh?" Tell me, there's something wrong. At the same time, he glanced at the parchment with the connection between Bertha and Barty.

Bertha Jorkins was born circa 1958 and attended Hogwarts from 1969 to 1976, where she worked for the Ministry of Magic after graduation. She had some mental problems in the past two years, she was rushed from one department to another, and she often disappeared, but she came back on her own after a while. ”

"Missing?" Calvin leaned forward, "When was the first time she disappeared?" ”

Buendia flipped through the parchment, "I'll look for it, ah, here." Bertha Joggins disappeared for the first time three years ago in July, where she disappeared for two weeks and then returned on her own, but since then her memory has deteriorated and she has been moving between different departments before remaining in the Department of Physical Education. ”

"Tsk," Calvin asked, holding his chin in his right hand, "is there any record of what department she was in before her first disappearance?" ”

"Yes, yes," BuendΓ­a flipped through the parchment quickly, "Bertha Jorkins has been working for the Department of International Magical Cooperation since graduation, and in July 1989, she sent a document to her boss's home, and then disappeared, and his boss said he didn't know where she went, and returned to work at the Ministry of Magic two weeks later. ”

"Her boss's house?" Calvin narrowed his eyes, "Who's her boss?" ”

"Crouch, Barty Crouch."
