In the next week, Xing Ze organized the case files whenever he had free time, and the eldest lady would also come to help.
But she doesn't seem to have much interest in this. Rather than sorting out case files, she prefers to go out in the field and study the rural legends of Ravenska Village.
As for Reko, his plan worked. After the tank failed to turn in the money, the other party sent a debt collector.
John and Recco caught the debt collector at Tank's residence, but he was just a gangster active in the town.
The information I got from him was quite limited, but at least I asked how he received the mission.
These so-called debt collectors receive their assignments through a middleman, like Isido from Knockturn Alley.
The middleman known as Little Britain opened a wood processing factory in the village of Ravenska, specializing in providing high-quality wood to those broomstick factories.
Obviously, there is only one way for those who want to obtain information about the mission through him - kidnapping and interrogation.
However, in view of their recent frequent activities in Ravenska Village, Xing Ze stopped this plan and just asked Reko to continue to monitor the remaining hallucinogen peddlers.
The Sabbat Order is not a fool. After losing several chess pieces in succession, it will definitely react in some way. It is time to avoid the edge for the time being. After all, the so-called Screamer is hiding in Ravenska Village. If you encounter it,
This is no joke.
It's like fishing, use force when you need to use force, and release when you need to loosen the line. Of course, timing is very important.
On a day in late February, the Key Room of the Ministry of Magic.
John sat lazily in the reception hall, playing with his wine bottle in his hand. His pupils kept moving with the magic quill directly in front of him.
Next to the quill, a woman in formal attire was working on a stack of documents.
There was a slight sound, the door of the key hall slowly opened, and R walked in from the outside on crutches.
He sat down next to John and put his hands on the crutches. "I heard that the boy found a group of unknown people. He also tried to think that he could win this competition, right?"
The flask stopped in John's hand, "I remember that you owe all your injuries to him. Why, have you forgotten the pain after the scar healed?"
Anger flashed across R's face, and he said in a deep voice: "I really don't understand, J, what do you like about him?
"In my opinion, he has nothing to offer except his brainless drive. And a person like this will one day hit a wall. The harder he rushes, the harder he will hit.
.”
John's mouth raised, "Why didn't he break the wall? You know, R, the biggest difference between you and him is that you regard these cases as the cornerstone of your success.
"Those dead people are just numbers and words to you, and all you care about is yourself. So many times, you are clearly one step ahead of us, but you always look forward and backward, and are timid, thus ruining your advantage.
"But the boy is different. He is a practical person and the most upright or principled person I have ever met. He has his own set of ideas and three views.
"In his eyes, people are just people, no matter wizards, no matter hemp, no matter skin color, no matter race. He will not bother with the so-called blood. As for everything other than human beings, they are all monsters and should be eliminated and destroyed.
"
R's face twitched slightly, and he said with disgust: "We call such people crazy."
"Did I say he wasn't?" John glanced at R coldly, "But he is a persistent lunatic. If he identifies something, he will pursue it with all his strength until he digs out the result he wants. I
I thought he was a hound..."
"He is indeed very suitable to be a dog." R interjected sarcastically, "A dog that needs to be disciplined with a collar and a chain."
Hearing this, John laughed unbridled. His laughter attracted the attention of the secretary and made R very unhappy.
"Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"
"You will definitely lose, R." John stopped laughing and said, "and you will lose ugly. Because you don't know your opponent at all, and he is not a hound. I made a mistake."
Having said this, John leaned towards R and whispered: "He is a wolf, a wolf that pursues blood. His claws are sharp, his eyes are like a torch, and he is also hungry.
"And recently, a blind guy provoked him, so he is still angry."
R leaned back unconsciously, recalling what happened when he used Legilimency on Xing Ze.
Painful memories came to mind again, and his hands and body trembled slightly.
"We'll see." R pressed the crutches hard with both hands and stood up from his seat.
The secretary made an invitation to the two of them and said: "A has time to see you two, please come with me."
John looked at R playfully, and he put the flask into his pocket, muttering in his heart.
There is an essential difference between wolves and dogs. People can control dogs, but they cannot control wolves. And most people will choose to eliminate anything they cannot control.
At the same time, Xing Ze was searching for a reasonable explanation, one that could deceive Albert.
"We have an agreement." Albert Shafiq said solemnly, "I hope you haven't forgotten it."
"Of course, sir." Xing Ze put a smile on his face, "Your daughter, I promise, she has not done anything dangerous."
There was distrust in Albert's eyes. He picked up the report compiled by Xing Ze and said, "Really? But recently she always runs to Ravenska Village and often spends time with my incompetent brother.
in one piece.
"You know, my brother, Lanson, has always been unpopular with his family, especially for Ellie. They are completely different worlds.
"So, I'm very worried. You know, Ellie will not deliberately approach people she doesn't like if she doesn't have any intention. If you ask me, she is the one with the most Shafiq family qualities among all my children.
.”
"The Shafiq family never does business at a loss," Xing Ze said.
"Yes, it seems she mentioned it to you."
"Yes, sir. Um, can I ask, has she been to Ravenska Village recently?"
"Hmm, the most recent one was three days ago. And she became very interested in the history of Ravenska Village and the family's business there. Tell me, Xing Ze, this is not what I thought.
.”
"Of course it's not what you think." Xing Ze replied with a smile, "I will talk to her, very formally. I think you must have heard about it recently..."
"Ah, I know about that bet."
For Merlin's sake, could this matter be published in the Daily Prophet? Xing Ze cursed in his heart.
"I'm also very interested in this." Albert's serious face softened slightly, "Your current position should be at the same level as R, so you'd better bring Ellie into your team and give her a
A mission that seems important but not dangerous."
"It is exactly what I have done."
"Very good, I did not misjudge you." Albert was relieved, "By the way, I bet on you to win. Because I know that R is a person who cannot stand up to the public. If you need any help, you can always ask.
