The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 389
c379 connecting clues
Is the Unsolved Mysteries Society here also infiltrated by snakemen? Xing Ze asked himself in his heart, it seemed that this place was far more dangerous than he imagined.
What’s even more disturbing is that since Jezebeth can lead him by the nose, what about others? The Old Record Gang, A, and even Burke.
The clues and information he investigated all came from these forces, and as long as they deliberately mislead, it would be even more difficult for Xing Ze to distinguish them.
Nowadays, there are not many choices before him. Turn around and leave, continuing the investigation on your own. Destroy this group of scheming people and get everything they want out of their mouths. Or simply go directly to Thomas’ house to investigate.
“If we continue to be stuck here, the restaurant will open. Then we won’t be able to dispose of the bodies.” The head chef reminded.
“Xing Ze.” Jezebeth still smiled, “If you don’t mind, we plan to dispose of the body.”
“No rush, let’s talk clearly first. Even if the police come later, I can help testify.”
“Don’t you understand?” Riley changed from his previous gentleness in the bookstore. “Those people are smuggling people. They send those people to those disgusting creatures to obtain forbidden magic and knowledge.”
“What are those disgusting creatures?” Xing Ze asked.
“Snake people.” It was Jezebeth who answered him. She put away her smile, “They are trading with snake people. You should have seen snake people along the way.”
Xing Ze did not answer or deny. I was just wondering in my heart whether these people were worth trusting.
“Cooperate with us.” Jezebeth begged again, “Even if it’s not for those poor people, you can still get what you want, I can guarantee it.”
“Tell me everything you know.”
Hearing this, Jezebeth breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Xing Ze was interested in cooperating, so she immediately replied: “It’s a long story. Let’s finish dealing with the room first. Then we can talk to you slowly.”
“No, say it now.”
“Then let’s talk while you do it.” Jezebeth asked carefully, “The things they know are limited and not of much use to you. If you have any questions, you should ask me.”
Xing Ze pondered for a moment and said, “You said the local association is trading with snake people?”
Jezebeth nodded, and then gestured to the people around her. The head chef and Riley immediately walked to the office, while Emily was waiting at the door pushing the cleaning tools. It was obvious that these people were well prepared to deal with the incident afterwards.
It seems these people have done it more than once. Xing Ze thought in his heart.
“According to our investigation, it is true. Moreover, those snake men also kidnapped Thomas and used his house as a cover to conduct some terrible transactions. What about you? This journey will not be smooth sailing, right? Jezebeth asked.
“I don’t want to discuss the past anymore.”
“It seems that I guessed it right. According to the investigation team sent before. There should be a snake man’s lair under the nearby cemetery. Only Thomas knows about these beasts, so we need his help, at least his research material.”
“In which house are those research materials located?” Xing Ze finally understood what this group of people wanted to do.
“Perhaps, at least it’s worth the risk to look for it. I don’t know why these snake people came here, but at least they have no good intentions. According to old Kimball’s research, “Snake Fang” is the holy book of snake people. In addition, there are snake scales, which are said to come from the snake god Ig, which is now preserved in the Slytherin family. In addition, there are snake eyes and black poison glands.”
A sacred object of the snake people civilization. These things were mentioned in Reko and Edwin’s subsequent investigations, but there was no more information. Reko once visited the Slytherin family, but unfortunately, the arrogant pure-blood family did not give the necessary explanation.
“Are these things all from the research of old Kimball?” Xing Ze was suspicious. It was really incredible that a Muggle mysticist could investigate these sacred objects and their uses.
“I know you don’t believe it.” Jezebeth seemed to have read through Xing Ze’s thoughts, “This has to be traced back to the old Kimball family. He is not a pure Muggle, he has the blood of wizards in his body.”
“A squib?”
“No, it’s not.” Jezebeth denied Xing Ze’s statement, “It’s just that he has blood. His grandmother is a wizard and a member of our association. His father inherited his grandmother’s surname. The reason is , his grandfather was expelled from the family.”
Xing Ze was confused, “I don’t understand.”
The three corpses in the office have been completely carried out. With the help of the trolley, Riley and the head chef are sending the corpses out as quickly as possible. Emily put on the necessary protection, picked up the bucket and mop and walked into the office.
Jezebeth looked at the progress and time and continued to explain: “His grandfather came from the Hawkins family in Liverpool. He was once the largest slave smuggler and a celebrity in Liverpool. Now there is only one house left in Merseyside. The old house at 78 Hurst Street.
“They once wanted to open up the waterway under the house to transport slaves. But… you must have guessed what they awakened.”
Xing Ze understood instantly, and he answered: “Snake people, snake people sleeping underground.”
“Binggou! That unfortunate family was cursed by the snake man, and several generations have been trying to remove the curse, including old Kimball. He kept studying the information left by his grandmother, Kady Kimball, and finally found some ways to remove the curse.”
“If Kimball can find it, why can’t others find it?”
Yezebeth spit out and said, “Ah. This is about “Snake’s Fang”. This magic secret book of the snake man records how to remove the curse. Because of the intervention of another force, Kady had no time to study this magic book sold from the Gaunt family.”
“Snake’s Fang comes from the Gaunt family?” Xing Ze asked, but it was more like asking himself, “This can explain a lot of problems.”
“So you are finally interested, right?”
Xing Ze looked at the cunning woman in front of him, and kept reminding himself not to trust her too much, but the pursuit of the truth and his inner curiosity made him temporarily put down the wand in his hand.
Seeing this, Jezebeth advised: “Let’s go to a suitable place to talk, and leave this place to the professional cleaning team.”
“How are you going to explain this to the higher-ups? And their families, won’t there be any problems if three people disappear out of thin air?”
“Relax, Xingze. We have our own set of rules. As long as you don’t get in the way, it doesn’t matter if a few more people die. For the association, every year it needs to clean up a large number of people lost in magic.”
