"I'm too tired..." Old Batty said, lowering his head and then stopped talking.

Fudge was secretly funny. Although he was also very happy, at this time, Old Bati had already represented the face of the Ministry of Magic to some extent. As the minister, he must be blamed.

For example, when Bati was secretly replaced by someone from Azkaban, why can't the Ministry of Magic discover? Could it be that the Ministry of Magic's control over Azkaban is actually no control?

For example, when Mrs. Crouch reported her death, someone from the Ministry of Magic should have come to investigate, why didn’t she find that there were actually no corpses at all?

No matter how Foggy defends her, these shits can be put on his head. So for Foggy, the most urgent task is not to give this damn little Baddy Crouch a just judgment, but to cover the lid first and wait to deal with the father and son well afterwards. Maybe Foggy's subordinates will have an extra loyal and veteran thug.

Thinking of this, Forge said to Old Batty: "We are friends, Batty, I can understand you. It is true that you are parents just for the good of your children. At this point, you will never owe anyone."

"..." Old Bati smiled miserably, don't owe it? To put it nicely, how could he not owe it? The indulgence and tolerance of the murderer is cruelty to the victim, trampling on justice, and hurting the public's feelings, so where did he say he didn't owe it?

But no matter what, he didn't want to see that ending, and Bati must not die.

"What do you want me to do?"

Fudge finally smiled on his face: "Look, I just said we are friends, but we are in harmony. Even in my opinion, I can't look at the poor little Batty to die? How old is he? He doesn't even have children. Even if there is a little problem with his mind, his body can still move?

I want to say, Batty, have you ever considered taking a wife for Batty?"

"Ha! Impossible, everyone knows that Batty Crouch is already a dead person..."

"Yes, it's totally correct, so it's normal for a dead person to marry a dead person, right? Little Batty needs not a witch, but a woman. A little bit of vision is relaxed, and this kind of resource is everywhere."

Old Bati glanced at Fudge, and smiles appeared on both of them, looking dangerous and disgusting.

“You haven’t considered the Muggle Protection Act?”

The Muggle Protection Law is a consistent law issued by the Magic Parliament. The purpose is to reduce the exposure of wizards, so wizards are prohibited from causing any harm to Muggles in any way or form.

Although the tone is very absolute, it is not different from other laws in actual implementation, highlighting one characteristic, that is, as long as you are not arrested, there will be no crime. In fact, even the Ministry of Magic does not know how many cases of Muggles being violated and injured by wizards every year.

Even so, Fauci is the Minister of Magic after all, and the official face is that he must not ignore the rules, right? But he really doesn't.

Fudge sneered and asked back: "My dear Barty, please tell me what is our purpose in protecting Muggles? Ultimately, to protect ourselves.

Our Ministry of Magic has a lot of contact with the British government. I believe you must know, do you have many official citizens in the UK?"

Old Batty shook his head. Although the Ministry of Magic had a lot of contact with the British government, wizards usually had a very stubborn elitist idea and were unwilling to contact Muggle, and there were very few developments in Muggle society.

Only a few wizards are interested in learning about the basic situation of Muggles when they are free, including the seemingly unreliable Fudge in front of them. It is precisely because of this that he did not choose to support Voldemort back then because he knew how huge the gap between the number of wizards and the number of Muggles could be.

"Five seven million and six hundred thousand people, my friend."

"How many?" Old Bati jumped up like a cat with a trampled tail.

"You heard it right, it's just that exaggeration." Faugi said calmly.

How many people in the British magic world are there? Adding one is not enough for a town in Muggle society. Even if there is magic to help, it is definitely impossible to rule over 50 million people with a population of 3,000 to 5,000, right? Just think about it, it is impossible, let alone Muggle is not without power. Although they have great disadvantages, their absolute number can cover up any disadvantages.

"So, think about it, there are so many cases happening in the UK every day, and there are countless headless cases every year, so why do you care about one more or one less?"

"Snort-Huh!" Old Bati took a breath and was convinced. He could not let go of his son. Although his former dream was fairness and justice, when the choice came, he still resolutely chose his relatives.

"Okay, then, what do I need to do?"

"It's not the time, but to make you a little mentally prepared, I'll tell you who our potential enemy is," Fudge said mysteriously: "Dumbledore."

Old Batty closed his eyes and then focused his head: "Dumbledore? Then Dumbledore."

"Don't you ask why?"

"Haha, among the people with high power in the magical part, how many people are willing to be suppressed by the prestige of an old man forever?"

"Hahahahaha!" Fuji laughed happily. What's this called? I'm not alone. "You, you, it's really just that I'm not lucky..."

"By the way," Fudge asked, "who else knows the truth of this matter except us?"

"A Auror, named Josha Birkins, but I have modified her memory using the forgetting spell."

"Hmph, it's all right, you, Old Bati."

"Mr., please allow me to surrender."

“Go…”

The next day, the Ministry of Magic officially issued a statement on the front page of the Prophet Daily: There is currently no evidence to show that Bati Crouch is still alive, and all the evidence points to the fact that Bati Crouch has not used any means to help his son escape legal sanctions.

Everyone was silent after saying this. Can the Ministry of Magic really believe what he said?

But they thought about Old Bati's style carefully. After years of being in politics, they have never had any cases of favoritism and fraud.

"The Wizards" also cooperated to post the life of Barty Crouch on its front page headlines, and praised him as the pride of a selfless and impartial pure-blooded wizard.

This common memory aroused everyone's sympathy, and gradually became dissatisfied with the domineering and arrogant "Singing the Contradictory".

It was precisely because of this dissatisfaction that the battle between the Prophet Daily and the Wizard started a counterattack against singing the opposite. Although the opposite has always been a sensible figure, the impact this time was too great, so that singing the opposite in public opinion was at a disadvantage.

Fudge was very happy. This state was exactly what he wanted now. He destroyed the reputation and prestige that he had accumulated after trying the opposite tune. This magic world is too small and does not require two mouths to speak.

But then Barty Crouch brought him bad news - they couldn't reach Auror Josa Birkins...

"What?" Fudge was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. "Why did you tell me such important news now?"

Old Bati smiled bitterly: "I didn't know before..."

"Retrieve her latest report to me!"

A few minutes later, a clerk came to Fudge's office with files taken out of Auror's office.

Fudge flipped through the report of Josha Birkins page by page. She has been staying in the UK recently. During her time, she went to Hogwarts as a representative of the Aurors to condolences to Sirius, and then stayed in London. Her most recent mission was to investigate the activities of the Death Eaters in northern England...

"It's not that the Death Eaters were captured, right?" Barty murmured.

Fudge gritted her teeth and said, "I hope she will be captured by the Death Eater, so she will die where she is..."

The clerk couldn't help but shudder. Why did the Minister of Magic have such strong malicious intentions towards a conscientious Auror?

"Go and look for me, and go to the place where she disappeared. Go quickly... Just say yes, Josha Berkins, our excellent colleague of Auror. We have to see people in our lives and to see corpses in our lives."

But soon, Forge no longer had trouble finding Josha Birkins, because "Singing the Contradict" soon began a second wave of offensive.

"Revealing Barty Crouch's thoughts, why did Sirius go to prison without permission?"

"The importance of procedural justice is a tragedy caused by no trial and investigation."

"Is Barty Crouch really just?"

The successive period of the newspapers made Barty Crouch worried. What happened later really verified his conjecture. "Singing the Contradictory" published such an article on the front page of the subsequent issue.

"Invisible man who is worse than death, Barty Crouch Jr."

In this issue, Josha Berkins, a lady from the Ministry of Magic, personally stood up to testify against Barty Crouch and condemned Barty Crouch's atrocities in using the forgetting spell to modify his memory, and how Barty Crouch Jr. spent nearly a decade.

For a moment, the entire magic world was in full swing. What a good guy, do you know people but not your heart? But what they care about most is - is it true?

"Tsk..." Fuji threw down the newspaper ferociously, and there was almost nothing that went well recently.

He realized one thing, that is, he was at a disadvantage, and he even began to wonder whether his choice was the choice of his own will, or whether his opponent had already arranged all his behaviors? He felt like an ignorant butterfly, slowly flying into the spider's web, and the more he struggled, the more hopeless he was.

"I have to break the deadlock..."
