Chapter 175 The Barty Crouch Incident Breaks Out

"Why has the Ministry of Magic repeatedly maintained the Prophet Daily? Is there an ulterior transaction between the two?"

"Foge and Barnabas are mutually successful partners."

With the re-emphasis of "Singing the Contradictory", this time, they actually directly burned the war to the power center of the magic world, the Ministry of Magic.

At this time, the Ministry of Magic and the Prophet Daily had just experienced a crisis of trust among the masses, and the timing was not bad.

But the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and no one can understand why a mere newspaper dares to directly question the most powerful person today - Connelly Forge, then Minister of Magic.

Fudge understood very well, because Dumbledore's authorization behind the scenes, because Dumbledore couldn't stand himself, because he wanted to absorb and utilize the power of the pure blood family, but Dumbledore regarded those people as obstacles to progress.

Therefore, Fudge no longer retains it. He wants to unite the extreme right forces in the magic world to fight Dumbledore. The first thing he wants is to remove Dumbledore's first tentacle, the Singing Magazine.

So the "Prophet Daily" and "Witcher Battle" attacked at the same time. With the support of the Ministry of Magic, they attacked and discredited "Singing the Contradictory" at will.

Originally, according to the current sales of "Prophet Daily" and "Witcher Battle", compared with "Singing the Contradictory", they are basically negligible, but with the support of the Ministry of Magic, they have almost endless ammunition. They seized the past dark history of the Singing the Contradictory Magazine and kept smearing and attacking, trying to vilify its image among the masses. Although the progress is slow, everything seems possible with the support of the Ministry of Magic.

But soon, the Ministry of Magic had no time to work on this matter, because another major news was published on the opposite sing.

"Shocked! Bati Crouch, the number one Death Eater, is not dead, and is still living in Crouch's ancestral home!"

"Soul-Snatching Curse! What makes a father control his son for ten years?"

"Who died unjustly in Azkaban? A detailed analysis of the case of Batikrouchi, the youngest."

"Azkaban, known as the strict Ministry of Magic? "

For four consecutive days, the sing of the opposite sing published the suspicious points and analysis of the case of Bati Crouch back then. The explosive content undoubtedly touched the heart of the entire magic world.

In an instant, whether it is the "Prophet Daily" or the "Witcher's Battle", all the slander is meaningless in front of the public. When the banner of anti-war, anti-Death Eater, anti-Voldemort, and pursuit of fairness and justice is singed and set up, it seems to have opened a golden body. Before this event ends, it is invincible, with righteousness in hand, and it is beaten wherever it is pointed!

Forge was disrupted by this sudden move. Who is Barty Crouch Jr.?

By the way, Barty Crouch, former director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department, the most powerful competitor to the Minister of Magic, the next minister in the eyes of the public, broke out a huge scandal before being appointed by the Magic Parliament, and the source of this scandal was his son, Barty Crouch Jr.

That was the last two years when Voldemort and the Death Eaters rampant. The man who claimed to be the Dark Lord broke into the Potter house because of the betrayal of the Little Dwarf. After killing those who came to protect and support, he easily killed James Potter and Lily Potter. At that time, there was no stop between him and Harry Potter.

However, when Voldemort released Avadassori, the result was not the death of his enemy, but his own destruction, and thus the prophecy was realized.

At that time, the Death Eaters did not believe that the Dark King was dead. They thought that the Dark King might have just been captured and imprisoned in a secret place waiting for their rescue.

So while they chased Peter, a little dwarf who might have the information about the whereabouts of the Dark King, they found out the whereabouts of the Dark King through the Ministry of Magic.

And just at this moment, they found an Auror couple, Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom, who were Neville's parents.

The three Death Eaters led by Severus Snape, Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange. Snape is a two-way spy in Hogwarts, while the other two are fanatical admirers of Voldemort.

They used the pilogue curse torture the couple frantically, trying to get some news from them, but it was all in vain, because the Longbottoms really knew nothing.

At that time, the Ministry of Magic finally noticed the disappearance of the Dark King, so he sent Aurors to rescue him quickly. In the end, they caught the two crazy Death Eaters. The poor Longbatons were tortured by pain and completely lost their consciousness, even unable to recognize their son, and lost their basic ability to live, and could only stay in St. Mungo Hospital for recuperation forever.

Two death-eaters leaders, who were extremely guilty, were sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. Bellatrix is ​​still imprisoned in Azkaban. Bati Crouch Jr. was confirmed to be dead early.

It was precisely because of the incident of Barty Crouch Jr. that he was at the peak of his reputation at the time. Barty Crouch, who made great achievements in the war against Voldemort, also resigned and has now become the minister of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department of a marginal department.

"Damn!" Fuji almost couldn't help but swear. What's this?

Although he was not the one who committed the crime, he was the former director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department! The second-person of the Ministry of Magic is still a government official and an adviser to the Minister of Magic. How dare he take the blame for the world to drive out such a ridiculous thing?

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong. After all, Bati Crouch is the only child of the Crouch and his wife, and their only hope. What can they do for this child? So the question is - if Bati Crouch is not dead, then who is the person who died in Azkaban?

"Oh, darn!" These terrifying details made Fuji swear again.

Fudge quickly picked up the newspaper and looked closely. It was exactly the same as his guess. The person who died in prison was nothing but someone else, but Mrs. Crouch, the biological mother of Batty Crouch, little boy.

"Is it true?" Fudge was really a little scared.

This matter must be investigated, but how to check and what to check is still the final say. So Foggy summoned Barty Crouch to his office and showed him the report "Singing the Contradictory" to him.

In fact, there is no need to let him see it, because this matter has been known to everyone in the entire magic world, and the only thing people don’t know is whether this matter is true or false.

However, whether it is true or false is easy to verify. You only need to send someone to Bati Crouch's home to investigate. Even if there is no definite evidence, it is actually very simple for the Ministry of Magic to not be able to search Bati Crouch's home at will. You only need to send someone to Azkaban to verify the corpse buried there, and you can easily get news of whether Bati Crouch is alive, and then you have sufficient reasons to initiate an investigation into the matter.

Therefore, Barty Crouch's mental state was very poor because he no longer needed to hide it. Originally, he wanted to keep it hidden forever, and he even wanted to go to Muggle society to use magic kidnapping to leave a seed for Barty, but now, everything is over.

"I have to confess to you..." Barty Crouch said in a sluggish manner.

When Fuji saw this statement, he understood that this incident was really true. Faced with this colleague who made a big mistake, he had no trouble in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh, but he couldn't show it, so he had to pretend to be compassionate and comfort him.

"Don't be too sad, Barty, this is human nature, but how can you exchange Mrs. Crouch's life for your son's life? This is simply a tragedy on earth!"

"No, I'm already a tragedy..." Old Bati Crouch explained miserably: "At the beginning, I did send my little Bati into Azkaban and vowed not to visit him again, but I couldn't do it. At Maureen's plea, we went to visit him once.

From then on, we both seemed to be possessed and missed him every day until I found out that Maureen gradually became very weak. We went to Saint Mungo to check it out. It was a terminal illness. Maureen was in short order.

At this time, she took out the compound decoction she had prepared and asked me to enter Azkaban again and let her switch out the little bati. I...I agree..."

Old Batty burst into tears when she said this, and even a cold-blooded person like Fudge had to feel a little respect for Mrs. Crouch's efforts.

"So, Bati, he did escape from prison, and he is right at your house?"

"Yes, right in my house, he was still so crazy and loyal to his damn master. By then I could not tolerate it, so I used the Soul-Snatching Curse on him..."

"My God! How could you do such a thing?" Fuji widened his eyes. He would never have thought that his honest, stubborn, selfless colleague had now become like this because of family affection. The tragedy of the family almost destroyed all the pride of this man. No wonder he has been staying honestly in his international magic cooperation and exchange department for so many years, and it turned out that he had already lost all motivation.

"I...I can't do it..." Old Bati had cried enough, and said enough, spread his hands and said to Furge, "The glory of the Crouch family is over here. You arrest me, and my stupid son, lock us up in Azkaban, wait for us to die, and bury us with Maureen..."
