Riddle Manor is in Little Hangleton, about four or five miles from here is Big Hangleton, where Gaunt's old house is located.

On the way to Gaunt's old house, you will pass by Little Hangerton. This may be why the Dark Lord's mother fell in love with Tom Riddle. They are neighbors.

Riedel Manor is housed in a large mansion on a hillside, overlooking the cemetery and church below.

Fifty years ago, the tragedy of the Riddle family was the scene of a catastrophe in which a family of three was killed overnight, with no murder weapon and no visible scars. Frank Bryce, a gardener at Riddle House, was questioned and arrested, and suffered half a century of rebuke and imprisonment.

By the time he was released from prison, Frank Bryce was already old, and the current owner of the Riddle Mansion offered him a job and invited him to come back and take care of the place.

Although Frank Bryce has now been proven innocent, he is still ostracized by his neighbors because of his trumped-up criminal record. The children around him use Riddle's mansion, where the murder took place, as a place to adventure, playing tricks on him and wreaking havoc from time to time.

When Frank Bryce finished inspecting the cemetery and put the kettle on the stove in his little house where he was resting, he looked up and saw the lights of Riddle's old house on the hillside in the distance.

"What a bunch of unlucky kids!"

Frank complained, threw his gloves on the old couch beside him, picked up the lantern that had just been extinguished, lit it again with a match, and prepared to walk towards Riddle's old house.

As the current caretaker, he had to protect the place. The adventurous kids won't be careful about any source of fire, and they might set the whole house on fire.

Adjusting the brightness of the lantern, Frank shuddered and pushed open the door of his cabin, only to find that there were two more people in the doorway.

Frank shines a lantern on the person in front of him and asks in a warning voice, "Who are you?" This is a private property, and next to it is a cemetery! If you're looking for a picnic spot and a place to rest, head down the hill to Little Hangleston. If I don't leave, I'm going to call the police! ”

Rorschach looked at the old man in front of him and asked inexplicably, "Do you regret it?" ”

Frank was a little puzzled, there was something wrong with the person in front of him, and he asked rhetorically, "What do you regret?" ”

"What happened to Riddle's house in the first place kept you in prison for fifty years. After you are released from prison, you have become like this, and your youth and life have long been taken away, so you don't regret looking for a job in Riddle's house? ”

Frank's hand trembling a little, he raised his head and said, "Son, if I regret it, I won't go to World War II!" That was the beginning of my life! ”

Without a positive answer, Frank just took two steps outward and pulled the dilapidated wooden door shut, but the wooden door directly broke the lock under the strength of his hand.

Frank picked up the lock on the floor, tucked it into the crack of the door and pinned it, then turned to Rorschach and said, "Get out of here, I need to finish my job." ”

"No need to go, I didn't hire you to let you die......"

Rorschach's voice sounded behind Frank, and the decrepit Frank turned around, placed the lantern in front of Rorschach, and looked carefully at the person in front of him.

"I haven't seen you, and I haven't met anyone who hired me."

Frank told the truth that he hadn't met anyone on the hiring side, that he had just been released from prison and that he had received a letter in the mail with a job in it.

Rorschach pushed open the broken wooden door of the hut, pointed to the creaky kettle on the stove, and said, "The water is boiling, let's have a cup of tea, and I'll tell you about it......"

The tragedy of Riddle's house comes from the fact that the witch Merope Gaunt is not far away and falls in love with Riddlegar's son.

A handsome but arrogant rich Muggle boy, the witch Merope was only fascinated by his handsomeness and wealth, and used magic to make Riddle fall in love with her.

A year after they eloped, Merope stopped using aphrodisiac on Riddle because she was pregnant and didn't want to live this false life again, and told Riddle about her identity as a wizard. Riddle immediately abandoned Merope and the unborn child as soon as he came to his senses.

After giving birth to Tom Riddle Jr., Merope died at the door of the Woo orphanage in London.

Not surprisingly, little Tom Riddle has the talent of wizarding, successfully enrolls in Hogwarts, and begins to confuse other girls and ladies and ghosts with his appearance.

Tom travels to the village of Little Hangleston to find his origins, and in the dilapidated old Gaunt mansion, he meets his uncle Morfin Gaunt and learns of the death of his maternal grandfather, Marvolo Gaunt. He knocked Morfin unconscious, then went to Riddle House and used his uncle's wand to kill his father, the Riddles, who had expressed disgust and hatred for Tom.

The Ministry of Magic took Morfin, and the police of the ordinary world took Frank Bryce.

After telling the story of Riddle's house, the pot of water was almost drunk, and after Adam refilled Rorschach's last cup, Frank slowly lowered the teacup and raised his head.

Frank looked at Rorschach seriously and said, "If what you said is true, then who are the people in Riddle's house now?" ”

"Once little Tom Riddle, he's back."

Frank continued: "According to you, Tom Riddle Jr. is a KB now? ”

"It's like a fake."

"I'm going to call the police! You also report to the wizard's police, and you must not let them continue! ”

Frank hurriedly stood up, rummaged through the room and found a few coins, then picked up the lantern again, and prepared to walk to Little Hangleton down the hill to find the pay phone to call the police.

Sure enough, it is not different from the description in the original book, although his life has been bumpy, Frank Bryce is a righteous and persistent person.

When Frank pushes the door open again, the scene outside the door changes.

Silent figures filled the area, holding wands and laying out all kinds of defensive magic around them.

Frank turned his head and saw Rorschach holding up his teacup at him and said, "Can you boil some more water?" We may need to monitor this group of KBs. ”

Frank put down the lantern, went back to his small room, and said, "So you're a cop?" Already found them and ready to close the net? ”

"Sort of......

After hearing this, Frank began to pack his things in his cabin, and Rorschach asked puzzled, "What are you doing?" ”

"After the net is closed, I have to look for a new job......"

"No, I'll continue to hire you, but first, will you shoot again? People who will shoot and those who can't shoot are two treatments. ”

Hearing this, Frank Bryce was a little angry, he put down the kettle and threw it on the stove, looked at Rorschach solemnly and said, "Are you doubting that a World War II veteran will forget what he learned on the battlefield?" ”

Rorschach didn't answer, and Adam handed over a revolver. It was the World War II standard pistol Webley .455in revolver, an angular revolver.

When he picked up the weapon, Frank's hand stopped shaking for a moment, and with the familiarity of his memory, he opened the nest of bullets and reloaded them with a sense of familiarity in his memory.

This process was repeated until Frank was able to load the bullet into its nest with his eyes closed.

Holding the pistol, Frank asked, "Do you want me to shoot two shots to prove myself?" ”

"No, that's enough."

In Riddle's mansion on a hillside in the distance, Voldemort has now been transformed into a shriveled baby.

Bellatrix gently hugged Voldemort like a mother, gently wiping the dirt off his body.

But when she turned around, Bellatrix, who looked at Peter Pettigrew on the side, was full of disgust, and she said viciously to Peter, "You are so picky, Wormtail! Why don't you hurry up and squeeze Nagini's venom, if it's not the master, you're still living in the gutter of Azkaban! The owner needs to take the potion every few hours. Damn when those guys will be able to bring back the blood of unicorns, dragons, and other magical creatures! ”

Peter Pettigrew curled up to the side, holding the vessel in his hand, and watched Nagini squirt venom into it. His hands didn't dare to tremble in the slightest, for fear of being stained with this bone-eroding poison.

After finding Nagini and then Voldemort, the Death Eaters discovered that Voldemort had reverted from a soul to a body with a spell of his own making, but that his body was now fragile and in danger of dying at any moment.

At Bellatrix's request, the other Death Eaters searched for any magical items that could prolong Voldemort's existence. Only Peter Pettigrew and Bellatrix take care of Voldemort himself at Riddle's mansion.

And hiding in the slightly populated Muggle world also avoided some Ministry of Magic detection. The current Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are still looking for remote and uninhabited places. Darkness became the plan of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

After scolding Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix became a fanatical believer in longing for Voldemort himself, gently placing Voldemort on the couch next to him, and then kneeling beside Voldemort.

Bellatrix, with his head bowed, said, "Master, I have a big plan to announce your return to everyone!" ”

The shriveled baby-like Voldemort raised his rotten, pale hand and said, "Watch out for that child! This wouldn't have been possible without that child! ”

Bellatrix crawled to Voldemort's side, gently took his hand and put it on his cheek, and said, "Don't worry, master, all the Death Eaters know that they will cooperate with Barty Jr. to send that boy to you......"

"Good!"

With just two words, Bellatrix approached Voldemort excitedly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and then urged Peter Pettigrew to torture him.

And their plans were also filmed by pinhole cameras arranged around them and transmitted back to Rorschach's hands.

After listening to the plan, Rorschach said to Adam on the side: "Inform Fudge that his opportunity to make meritorious service has come again......
