Chapter 474: Something is wrong with Old Barty

Is the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement dead?

This is by far the largest homicide in the office.

Something even more frightening happened.

The attack on Weasley was just the beginning.

Amelia Bones died.

The situation escalated.

People with a heart analyzed this matter, and they suddenly discovered something.

There may be a reason for Amelia's death.

Survey.

And everyone knows that Amelia has been investigating the ......

Johnny Silver Hand!

...

"I knew, I knew, those who disobeyed him didn't end well!"

"He killed five families, and now even high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic have done it."

"Weasley? Maybe Weasley did it! ”

The pure-blood family knows far more about the affairs of the five families than the others.

So they panicked.

In their opinion, Johnny Silverhand has become a dictator.

Any opposing voice will be killed.

Panic spreads in the magical society.

Barty Sr. was so troubled by the noise that he couldn't believe that his rival, Amelia Bones, had died.

The words of those men kept flooding into his mind, and he kept his face calm with a kind of horror in his eyes, "Is that you, John?" ”

He thought of the five families, and then of the Weasleys, now Amelia Bones.

What they all have in common is the Dark Mark that Johnny's Silver Hand is used to exonerate sins.

And this news is frightening.

They all thought it was Johnny's silver hand.

"Murder of the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, that's a serious charge."

Old Barty paced back and forth, his mind in turmoil.

Whether he chose to believe John, or did he have doubts that prevented him from calming down?

"Pierce, tell me, what should I do?"

Pierce Hinkenis, who had been promoted to a high-ranking official at the Ministry of Magic, kept his face calm in Barty Sr.'s private mansion.

This slick official, who has always been left and right, was stumped by Barty Sr.'s question.

Even he can't give his immediate boss a conclusion now.

"The pure-blood family is revisiting the death of the five families," Pierce mused, "The Bones family is highly respected among pure-bloods, and has contributed greatly since the time of Voldemort. ”

"So what?" Old Barty slapped the table very excitedly and yelled, "What do you want to say? ”

"With all due respect, Minister Crouch, how likely do you think Johnny's Silver Hand is involved?" Pierce said calmly, "We all know, who is the person with this strength and motivation?" ”

Pierce's words were spoken, and the ones that old Barty didn't want to face were torn apart.

He sat down little by little, and the depression in his chest exhaled from his mouth.

Pierce was not in a hurry, he looked at Old Barty quietly.

There was a long silence.

"Minister Crouch, we have to accept reality." Pierce said.

"Reality?" Barty Sr. laughed to himself, "I thought I was going to be friends with him." ”

"He's too narrow-minded, even though you can't stress enough about purebloods." Pierce's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he said, "But he doesn't seem to have you in his eyes." ”

"Johnny Silverhand, he has untold wealth, well-trained private security guards, and outlaws also serve him."

Pierce said excitedly: "His existence is the biggest threat, if the Minister of Magic can't fulfill his wish one day, will he change the minister?" ”

"He did, Minister Crouch."

Layers of bloody truth are torn apart.

Old Barty seemed convinced, and he said hoarsely, "I know how to do it, thank you, Pierce." ”

Seeing Old Barty being convinced, Pierce breathed a sigh of relief and said with a faint smile on his face, "We're all in this together, Minister Crouch." ”

Barty Sr. got up to see Pierce off.

Walking out of the house, Barty Sr. stared at Pierce's departing figure and noticed that something was wrong.

He looked at Pierce's drooping left index finger, where there should have been a ring.

"Pierce, where's your ring?"

Pierce's footsteps stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Turning his head expressionlessly, he said indifferently, "Do you have to say it, Minister Crouch." ”

Old Barty's face changed, and the moment the other party took out his wand, he was about to close the door.

"Shhhh

Old Barty's movements froze, and black veins spread across his neck.

Looking down with difficulty, the little emerald green snake bit him at the ankle.

Old Barty couldn't move, and could only watch the other man come by.

"My master told me that you have a lot of silver hand goods."

That face was like plasticine, changing rapidly.

"Leather ...... You...... This...... Where is it? ”

Old Barty couldn't breathe, and he asked with difficulty.

"He? It should be somewhere to continue to fall asleep now. ”

The man approached Old Barty and whispered in a demonic voice, "Guess when he'll be useless?" ”33

Old Barty's eyes widened, wanting to slap the face that was close.

But now he can't even move a finger.

The man raised his right hand and held up a finger and gently poked it at Old Barty's body.

Old Barty fell straight down.

"Sleep, my dear Minister Crouch."

Holding his wand out at Crouch, the man smiled wickedly, "Say hello to the silver hand for me." ”

Old Barty's eyelids closed heavily, and a voice rang in his ears.

"Out of Body"

...

The Star Society.

"Something is wrong." He muttered to himself.

He held the newspaper in his hand and read it repeatedly in the Star Society.

"Old Barty ......"

Watch as the Minister of Magic came forward in person, and promised to find the murderer and punish him severely.

This statement struck John as strange.

Old Barty didn't even contact himself, did he believe in himself unconditionally?

His relationship with Barty Sr. is one between cooperation and friends, and more often than not, they are each taking what they need in the name of friends.

Old Barty needs John's financial resources, and John needs Old Barty to develop as Minister of Magic today.

But this time, Old Barty was under pressure and didn't even ask himself.

The last time Weasley's house was attacked, Barty Sr. angrily approached John and patted the table to ask if it was him.

Doubts left seeds in John's heart, and he stared at the newspaper above.

"Amelia Bones is dead, is it Voldemort?"

He pondered.

Amelia Bones is not only a Ministry of Magic official, but also a very good witch.

If you want to defeat her, you will either be attacked by someone or Voldemort himself.

But so far, there is still zero information about Voldemort.

The other party's whereabouts have never been revealed.

John couldn't even determine whether the other party was at home or abroad.

The asymmetry of information made John feel tricky.

Voldemort was far more difficult to deal with when he returned, and he was as smart as if he had opened his mind.

Amelia's death sent the entire wizarding community into a panic, and this invisible fear could help Voldemort develop his strength, distracting the attention that should have been focused on Voldemort.

"First Weasley, then Slughorn, and now Bones, every step you take is unexpected, creating a panic rendering."

John put down the newspaper, Voldemort's purpose was clear, it was to make the wizarding society scared, and to incite pure-bloods against the Silver Hand.

Barty Sr. also reacted quickly, using the Minister of Magic to boost the morale of the people.

As the man who once led the Ministry of Magic against Voldemort, he bravely stood up when everyone began to return to the fear of the mysterious man.

John also breathed a sigh of relief, but the little doubt in his heart could not be dissipated.

Walking out of the Stars Society, John saw Basil at the door.

"What's wrong?" John walked over and saw Basil with a letter in his mouth.

John took it down and opened it and looked at it.

His face changed instantly.

"The Ministry of Magic is suspending on the expansion of the werewolf community?"

John stared at the letter, which was the original and the letter sent by Don Mi.

Old Barty did it to himself?

John opened Don's letter.

"Regarding what has happened recently in the werewolf community, the Ministry of Magic regrets that the expansion of the werewolf community has been temporarily suspended due to funding."

John clutched the letter and looked at it word by word.

After making sure that he was not mistaken, John finally knew why Barty Sr. had not contacted him to find out the truth.

He was ready to play against the silver.

Because of the pressure of purebloods, or do you want to tear the alliance apart?

"Old Barty, you're too impulsive."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When I opened it again, the coldness of the vertical pupils flashed away in my eyes.

John muttered to himself, "I really didn't expect you to do something to me, and I was very surprised. ”

Looking at Basil, John told him to go back to his bedroom.

He turned around and walked into the Star Society.

A dark blue flame ignited in the fireplace.

John walked in and said with a blank face.

"Silverhand Manor."

...

Some people died, but not completely......
