When Newt heard what Li Chuan said, his eyes immediately changed when he looked at him.
If he had only seen Li Chuan as a kind-hearted wizard before, the way he looked at Li Chuan now was that he was looking at a confidant.
Because his philosophy since childhood has always been: "There is nothing strange about living things, it's just that people are too narrow-minded."
"Look, I'm going to pinch you hard!"
Of course Li Chuan could feel the obvious change in Newt's attitude.
He just knew Newt's character, so he said that deliberately. He was not interested in Newt's magical animals, because for the time being, he did not have the ability to bring those magical animals to other worlds.
However, he was very concerned about Newt's super powerful Seamless Stretching Spell.
Ordinary wizards, like him and Old Manu, could only create a space of dozens of square meters with the Traceless Extension Spell. But Newt opened up a small world directly in his box.
It can be seen that his understanding of the traceless stretching spell is probably unmatched by anyone in the entire wizarding world.
Build a good relationship with Newt, and later you can use the reason that you want to raise some magical animals to ask Newt for the Seamless Stretch Charm.
"Do you know about horned beasts? I found a pair in the Far East before. They may be the last pair of horned beasts with the ability to reproduce."
"You can actually find horned beasts. I thought they were extinct. I heard that horned beasts have skin that is harder than that of fire dragons. Basically, most spells have no effect on them."
"Yes, they are aggressive by nature. Many trolls like to ride on their backs and try to tame them, but they are always thrown off by them, and then they are covered in injuries."
"Hahaha, it turns out there is such a thing, it's really interesting."
They walked and talked like this, starting from magical beasts to Hogwarts, and then they discovered that they were both Hufflepuffs, and they instantly became closer.
And Tina, who was holding the two of them, was speechless for a while when she heard the two chatting happily. They were about to face a trial by Congress, and the two of them were still so arrogant.
But to be honest, listening to the two of them talking about interesting things about magical animals and their optimistic attitudes also made her quite affected.
During this period, the depression due to being dismissed and transferred to the Wand License Office was somewhat relieved.
In this way, the three of them entered the Congress and took the magic elevator to the Major Crime Investigation Department.
"People from the Wizards' Federation have threatened to send a delegation over. They believe that yesterday's attack was related to Grindelwald!"
The President of the Magical Congress, Serafina Picquery, is discussing with the Senate members and Aurors about yesterday's incident of unknown magical animals attacking No-Majs.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Tina walked in with Li Chuan and Newt.
"Ms. Goldstein, I have made it very clear about you. You are no longer an Auror."
When Picquery saw it was Tina, he frowned and said impatiently.
Tina wanted to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted again by Picquery.
"This office only discusses major events, get out!"
"Yes, sir."
When Tina heard this, she had no choice but to pull Newt Li Chuan and turn around to walk out the door.
At this time, Li Chuan's gaze was actually focused on a middle-aged wizard behind Picquery.
Because he knew that the middle-aged wizard was apparently Percival Graves, the Secretary of Security for the U.S. Congress, but in fact he was the Dark Lord Grindelwald in disguise.
The real Percival Graves was probably killed by Grindelwald long ago.
"Wait!"
Just when the three of them were about to walk out of the Major Crime Investigation Department, Picquery seemed to suddenly think of something. She pointed at Li Chuan and asked:
"Are you Tom Foley?"
"Yes, distinguished Chairman Picqueli."
Li Chuan was stunned for a moment and smiled.
Picqueri nodded:
"As expected of a member of the Foley family, I heard that you captured the dark wizard Manu Angel, who once killed one of our very outstanding Aurors.
Very well, on behalf of MACUSA, I would like to thank you.
You can ask Ms. Goldstein to take you to collect the bounty on Manu Angel later."
"It's my duty."
Li Chuan nodded. He didn't expect that he could receive another gold galleons in the United States.
Also, that guy Old Manu is wanted by the Ministry of Magic in fifteen countries. If he is willing to travel to fifteen countries, he might be able to collect fifteen bounties.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. He is not in short supply of galleons now. The important thing is that since Picquery can recognize him, it means that he has already gained a little fame in the international community.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you."
After leaving the Major Crime Investigation Department, Tina apologized to Li Chuan. She was now completely sure that Li Chuan and Newt did not know each other, and that meeting them there was just a coincidence.
After taking Li Chuan to collect the bounty, she told Li Chuan that he could leave.
"I'd better wait for Newt to come with us."
Li Chuan will definitely not leave now. He has just established a good relationship with Newt, and Newt will be acquitted soon.
Seeing Li Chuan's insistence, Tina didn't say anything more and took the two of them to the wand license office.
But just when Tina was halfway through taking notes on Newt, the security minister Grindelwald pretended to be came over and asked Tina to open Newt's box after some questioning.
It turned out that Newt's box contained not magical animals, but a pile of bread.
It turned out that because Newt's box and Jacob's box were exactly the same in appearance, they took the wrong box when they had a conflict in the alley in front of the bank.
Li Chuan witnessed this process at the time, but he did not remind him.
Now that there are no magical animals in Newt's box, the story of him raising magical animals privately and releasing magical animals to cause trouble naturally cannot be established, so he was acquitted.
"I can't believe you didn't erase that No-Maj's memory. If anyone questions me later, I'll be screwed."
On the street outside Magical Congress, Tina said with a bit of confusion.
Just now, she could have used the fact that Newt had not erased Muggle memories to continue arresting Newt, but she thought that Newt's box was in the wrong box and they had to get it back first, so she hesitated and didn't mention it.
"Don't worry, I will find my box, but your laws are so backward that you ban all magical animals. They are actually very cute."
Newt replied to Tina, then turned to thank Li Chuan:
"Thank you Tom, this had nothing to do with you in the first place, and you were implicated in it."
"Newt, don't say that. I happen to be traveling and it's quite interesting."
Li Chuan smiled slightly.
Thanks to Wishful Thinking, Esdreel, and Ye Bobao for the tip!
