The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 379

c369 many clues

Emily took Xing Ze to the central garden of the teaching building. There were not many people here, which was perfect for conversation. As soon as the two arrived, Emily thanked him: “Thank you for not saying the name of my club.”

“Old Sailors Association? The name is indeed not very good.” Xing Ze said half-jokingly.

“Are you serious?” Emily also laughed, “Is the club you are referring to the Old Sailors? If that is the case, I will be disappointed in you.”

Xing Ze stopped smiling, “So, is all this planned? Will I be guided to your side in the end?”

“Of course not.” Emily’s smile became brighter and brighter, “If you come to the college to investigate, we have people here who will guide you slowly. But who would have thought that you would choose my shop when you were eating?

“To be honest, we were all shocked at that time. We thought you had seen through it. People from the association thought you would go to a Chinese restaurant near the school, which should be more in line with your taste. Maybe this is fate.”

“Chinese restaurant? Oh, forget it, that thing can’t be called Chinese food.” Xing Ze shook his head, “Speaking of which, is that shop real? Are they really your parents, or just…”

“You are as paranoid as you are rumored to be, sir.”

Hearing this, Xing Ze looked up at the students passing by in the corridor. Many of them were looking at them with curious and wary eyes. He should have noticed that everyone here was hostile and wary of him, but this girl didn’t show any signs of xenophobia when she saw him.

“Of course those are my parents. We’re not so good that we use fake stuff for everything.”

“This club of yours is really boring.” Xing Ze sarcastically said, “If you come to me for something, you can just tell me directly. Do you have to do it in such a secretive way?”

“Would you believe it?” Emily asked.

Xing Ze narrowed his eyes. To be honest, he didn’t believe it. Unless he had verification, he would never believe a strange organization that suddenly came to his door.

“The answer is obvious, isn’t it?”

“Okay, I admit I won’t believe you so easily. So, what is going on?”

Emily exhaled a long and heavy breath and said: “Thomas Kimball is missing. What we can determine so far is that something has taken over his home. We need your help.”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute, you can’t just come up and let me work. I’m not a private detective, here to wipe your butts.”

“The truth you are looking for is only known to Thomas, and he cannot be found. We can’t give you the answer either.”

Hear this answer. Xing Ze couldn’t help but feel angry. He said in a deep voice: “Listen, I don’t have time to help you find someone. Tell me the whole story, otherwise, I don’t mind asking your president personally.”

Emily was not angry at Xing Ze’s threat. She replied calmly: “Promise to help us investigate that room, and we will tell you everything.”

“Hell, don’t you even have a man in this mysterious society?”

“Most of us are just ordinary people, and the occult knowledge involved is simply incomparable to that of real wizards like you.”

Xing Ze was slightly startled and asked angrily: “You know I am a wizard? What else do you know?”

“That’s a lot. We know about the existence of wizards, but no one is stupid enough to publicize it everywhere. Because you wizards will come to erase our memories immediately.”

“Then you’re not afraid of me using a mind-control spell on you?”

“I believe what some wizards would do, but I don’t believe you would do that.”

This answer was beyond Xing Ze’s expectation. The young wizard frowned and waited for an explanation.

“You are a good person.”

Xing Ze laughed, “I think you have some misunderstandings about me.”

“No, Ms. Jezebeth told me about you. She provided me with a lot of information. Saving the train, investigating Knockturn Alley, and going deep into the cult village to rescue people. What you did cannot be called a villain.”

“That’s because you only see the person in the profile, not the person in reality. Stop wasting your time.”

“Of course, let’s talk as we walk.” Emily said, turning and heading towards the corridor. Xing Ze exhaled depressedly and followed closely.

…

“It’s me, do you have any new clues there?” The pencil in the eldest lady’s hand hit the paper rhythmically.

Scott’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “There’s nothing useful. Something did happen to that ocean shipping company, but it shouldn’t have any inevitable connection with the Snake Man.”

“Okay, where are you now? I’ll pick you up and then we’ll go to the University of Liverpool.”

“College? Why where?”

“I’ll talk to you later.”

Scott didn’t ask any more and gave an address. The eldest lady jotted down something on the white paper, then stood up and walked out of the office.

Ribbon took Worm to find Harris. After that, the superintendent planned to go to the office to investigate in person. When he saw Ellie passing by, he hurriedly came over and stopped him and asked, “Going to school?”

The eldest lady nodded.

“Xing Ze called.”

“Did he say something?” The eldest lady flashed a hint of joy, “He arrived in Brichester?”

“He didn’t leave anything, he just asked the front desk if we had time. He didn’t leave a contact phone number, he should call later.”

“Well, if he calls, tell the front office to transfer to the University of Liverpool.”

Rui Ben responded and turned to go to Harris again.

Half an hour later, Ellie picked up Scott. As soon as the old man got in the car, he looked around and was quite cautious. Seeing him like this, the eldest lady asked in confusion: “What are you doing?”

“In case someone follows me.” Scott replied seriously, “You don’t have a bug on you, do you?”

“I had one before.”

Scott frowned and looked at Ellie.

“For the mission, it’s gone now.” Ellie had to continue explaining.

“I hope you’re not lying to me. I found some clues.”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t find anything?”

“I have to make sure no one is monitoring the phone. It’s safest to say it in person.”

Ellie reached out and pressed her forehead, “I’m beginning to regret letting you join.”

“Listen to what I found first, it’s not too late for you to regret it.”

“Go on, old man.” Ellie started the car and drove towards the University of Liverpool.

“According to your suggestion, I talked to the former employees of the ocean-going company, but only one was willing to answer my questions, and it cost me one hundred pounds. By the way, can this money be reimbursed?”

“First, I have to confirm whether this clue is worth one hundred pounds.”

“Well, according to what he said. The main reason for the collapse of the ocean-going company is poor management, but there are some unknown things. During the years of operation, the company has lost a total of five employees. Three of them are security guards, and the other two are cashiers and data clerks.

“The only thing in common about the disappearance of these people is that they all disappeared at night. The three security guards were all on night shifts. The cashier was working overtime at the company on the day he disappeared, and the data clerk was the same. Very interesting, right?”

“Why are there no relevant reports on these things?” Ellie asked puzzledly.

“Because the company spent money to suppress it for its reputation. But no matter what, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The company’s employees are panicking and investors are also terrified. Therefore, the ocean-going company became increasingly depressed.”
