The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 352

c342 hidden truth

Scott’s eyes followed Ellie’s hand to the wall. He frowned and murmured: “Ouroboros. Why are you interested in it?” His expression became quite solemn, and he even turned his head. The excitement of discovering a wizard was forgotten.

“A few days ago, I found the same logo in a place.” Ellie took out the brochure from her pocket.

Scott’s eyes were shining, as if he had seen something extraordinary. His breathing began to quicken, and his voice trembled slightly, “Where did you get this thing?”

“This has to be kept secret because there are some cases involved.”

The old man’s eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment of silence, he said: “I guess it has something to do with the four corpses found at the assembly dock a few days ago, right?”

There was no change on the female detective’s face, which made Scott a little disappointed. He thought he could deceive something, but the beauty in front of him was like a majestic iceberg, and it seemed that no oil or salt could enter her.

“I’m afraid the information I can provide is limited, Ms. Nix. I am just an ordinary person. I don’t know magic. I have been working in insurance marketing for most of my life. Collecting these things is just a hobby.”

Hearing this, the eldest lady finally said: “If all this is just done in your spare time, how can you let those professional detectives live?”

“There’s no comparison.” The old man sighed, and the expression on his face relaxed, as if he had aged a lot. “These things took more than twenty years. But today, you showed up, and Showing up like this made me feel like everything I did was a joke.”

“That’s not necessarily the case.” Ellie patted the flyer and said, “I am currently investigating this secret church. If you are willing to help, that would be great.”

Scott glanced quickly at the administrator on the sofa, hesitant.

“Don’t worry, she’s fine, she just fell asleep.” Ellie said, “I want her to wake up, and she will wake up.”

“If possible, I don’t want to involve outsiders. It would do neither you nor me any good.”

Ellie didn’t reply, but took out her pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost eight o’clock, and she still had a lot of things to do next.

After seeing her actions, Scott came over knowingly. He pulled up a chair and sat down and said, “Do you know about the shooting in the nursing home that happened here?”

“Click”, the cover of the pocket watch was closed by Ellie, she raised her head and replied: “I heard that the nursing home used to be across the street.”

“It seems you have asked about it.” Scott said, “That incident happened twenty-six years ago. At that time, I had not yet retired, and I would occasionally go to the nursing home to play chess. I even thought that if I got old, it would be very possible. I will live there too.”

“Do you know the murderer?”

“Ah, that’s right. That guy is an Italian, his name is Pierre, and he is good at chess. He often plays a game with me in his free time. I can’t believe that this harmless boy would shoot and kill so many people. “Multiple people.”

“No matter how honest a person is, he will be pushed into a hurry.”

The old man nodded in approval, but denied it: “The kid committed suicide in prison and hung himself with a bed sheet. No one sympathized with him, and everyone thought he committed suicide out of fear of crime.”

At this point, Scott fell silent.

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said, “But you don’t think so, right?”

“Yes, I don’t think so, but what’s the use? The evidence in this case is solid, there is no doubt at all, and all the clues point to Pierre. Until you appeared today, I really felt that Pierre was very likely is innocent.”

“Why do you say that?”

“People say that Pierre committed the murder because he was fired and resentful. So the day before the murder, such a thug told me that he planned to return to his hometown to inherit the farm, and also planned to marry his beloved girl in the autumn. Doesn’t it seem that way? A little too weird?

“Maybe he has multiple personalities, in which case everything would be much simpler. But in my opinion, he doesn’t. I visited him once after he was sent to prison. I could see his helplessness, He told me he didn’t remember anything that happened.

“He also told me some weird things about snake gods, mysterious churches, etc. He insisted that he was being controlled by something. But no one would believe it at the time, not even me. Pierre finally He was hanged, and the jury voted unanimously for his death sentence.

“The reputation of nursing homes has also plummeted. If something like this happened, no one would trust their family to them. Originally, the matter was over. But one night, when I came back from the bar and passed by the nursing home, I saw Something arrived.

“I was very drunk that day, so I’m not sure if I was hallucinating. All in all, I saw a few figures sneaking into the nursing home with strange steps. At first, I thought it was a thief and planned to call the police, but the nearest phone booth was not far away. It was quite far. Out of curiosity, I followed it.

“God, I saw the weirdest scene that night. Those twisted figures had long tails and snake faces. I was so scared that I didn’t even remember how I escaped home. .

“After that, I got seriously ill. After I recovered, I also went to the nursing home to inquire, but there were no clues and nothing was stolen in the hospital. From that moment on, I felt that Pierre might not be lying.”

At this point, Ellie understood why Scott investigated these strange things, but he still didn’t get to the point.

“Do you know what you saw that day?”

Scott shook his head, “Snakehead man? Lizard man? Anyway, no matter what it is, it has made me rely on sleeping pills to sleep for the past 20 years. You know what these things are, right?”

“I don’t know much. I want to ask, has anyone come here to ask about the nursing home a few days ago? A detective named Frank, you may have seen him in the newspaper.”

Ellie realized that she forgot to ask about Frank when she was talking to Carpenter just now, but considering Flack’s level of investigation, he must have visited here.

The old man nodded without thinking too much and replied: “Indeed, someone came here, um – but his name is not Frank, but Dean. He is also very interested in my investigation and borrowed a lot of my research materials. Do you know him?”

“I guess so.”

“Then can you help me ask when those materials can be returned to me. Although they are all backups, I don’t want him to borrow them and not return them.”

“What materials did he borrow?”

“To be precise, we exchanged materials.” The old man pointed to another clue wall, “The things you cared about before were what he gave me, rumors about wizards, entrances to the magic world, etc.”
