"How are the people who were rescued?" Xing Ze pushed aside the empty plate and asked.
Tonks was stunned for a few seconds, shook her head and said, "I heard that St. Mungo's had formed a rescue team before I came here. It seems that the church will also send people there, but..."
The three fell into silence. Finally, Xing Ze whispered: "Sorry, go ahead, Tonks."
"There's no need to apologize." Tonks leaned back so that the waiter could place the coffee. "If it weren't for you, more people would have died."
"Maybe they can give me the Order of Merlin," John said, "but I'd rather they give me a few bottles of good wine."
His words made the atmosphere more relaxed, and Tonks took a big sip of coffee: "Let's get back on track. You should know that Minister Fudge has been trying to ban Knockturn Alley since he came to power, so he asked Scrimgeour to start collecting
Information about the Knockturn Alley Gang."
John sneered and interjected: "Cornelly Fudge wants to make some achievements. If old Barty's son hadn't failed to live up to his expectations, he would never have been able to become a minister. Let me tell you, compared to old Barty,
Fudge, you know, is too weak."
Most of the public in the wizarding world think that Fudge is a generous person, but few people associate him with being tough and decisive. Therefore, after Fudge came to power, he has been trying to change the public's perception of himself.
Xing Ze made a guess in his mind. Of course, the fastest way is to severely punish those Death Eaters and dark wizards. But the mysterious man suddenly disappeared, the Death Eaters fell into disarray, and all the credit for fighting the Death Eaters was lost to Scrimgeour and
Barty Crouch took it.
Therefore, he could only focus on Knockturn Alley. Fighting crime can also improve his reputation. What's more, the British wizarding community is still in the recovery period. At this time, controlling the crime rate will be very popular with the people.
It's true that God's calculations are not as good as those of people. Xing Ze sighed in his heart that a great plague broke out in Wales and also affected the magical world. If this matter is not handled well, Fudge's term of office may come to an end.
"Although we shouldn't talk about the Minister of Magic behind his back," Tonks whispered, "but I agree with you. Master Dumbledore thinks Fudge is an unreliable person.
"Speaking of which, before the outbreak of the plague, Sage Aven had been responsible for investigating the Oil Gang. After being transferred, Sage backed up the case file and sent it to Gringotts, and took out this part of his memory and gave it to
Shakur."
"Why does he have to go to so much trouble?" John frowned, "The investigation files will naturally be kept safe at the Ministry of Magic."
Tonks looked around warily, lowered her voice and said, "Sage thinks the Ministry of Magic has been infiltrated."
"Infiltrated? By Death Eaters?" John continued to ask.
"He didn't say anything, and he didn't have any definite target of suspicion, but he was worried." Tonks shrugged. "In addition, he discovered that the leader of the Grease Gang, Grease Face, is the former Death Eater Errol Charles.
Des.”
"Look, reading is still useful." Xing Ze glanced at John, who hummed a few times but didn't reply.
Tonks originally thought that the news would surprise the two people opposite her, but she didn't expect that they were very calm.
"Well, I think you also know Master Dumbledore's attitude towards You-Know-Who and Death Eaters, so..."
"Dumbledore also got involved in this matter?" John asked in surprise.
"Yes, Minister Fudge asked Dumbledore for his opinion before launching the investigation. I think it's because...well, well, I don't know why."
John laughed and rubbed his chin with his hand, "Do you know where the biggest failure of Hogwarts is?"
"Are there too few night watchmen?"
Tonks looked at Xing Ze with a puzzled expression, and John's face had mixed emotions.
Xing Ze spread his hands and explained: "I have seen many students running around in school during curfew time."
"Damn it, boy, they don't have politics classes. Scrimgeour is not a softie who just takes orders. Fudge has only been minister for a year. He needs help, Dumbledore? No, no,
Don't forget, the old wizard also has the Order of the Phoenix."
No wonder Fudge always went to Dumbledore's room for advice in the original work. Xing Ze thought to himself that Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix was indeed a good choice. It hated Death Eaters and criminals and preached justice without asking for anything in return.
"It makes sense. Although the Order of the Phoenix was severely damaged when fighting the mysterious man, its reputation remains. If we can win over them, the chance of persuading Scrimgeour will be much higher." Tonks agreed.
Xing Ze finally understood why Snape had been reluctant to tell the truth. Snape was afraid of him... no, maybe Dumbledore was afraid that he would disrupt the situation and ruin the secret investigation.
John took a sip of coffee and took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, "So, after discovering that Greaseface was a Death Eater, Dumbledore persuaded Scrimgeour to reopen the investigation?"
"Yes, that's it." Tonks nodded.
Xing Ze narrowed his eyes and stared at the girl, but he didn't stop for too long. He picked up the cup and pretended to drink water, thinking: She was lying. Dumbledore, an old fox, would not expose himself in front of the stage.
It was Kingsley. He must have asked Kingsley to persuade Scrimgeour. Tonks wanted to hide Kingsley's identity as a member of the Order of the Phoenix. This is interesting. If he hadn't read the original work, he would probably be fooled by Dumbledore.
Let's have fun with Lido.
"Okay, let's talk about the key points. What did you find out?" John brought the topic back.
Tonks took out a thick document from a witchcraft bag. She tapped the document with her fingers and said, "Sage and Alvin discovered that the Oil Gang is making poison, red candy."
"We know that." John said, "Have you analyzed his candy?"
"Hmm, there are human tissues in it. So Shacklebolt checked the missing people in Knockturn Alley and found that the Oil Gang was also running a human trafficking business. He thought that the disappearance of Sage and Ivan must be related to this."
Tonks opened the file and took out several photos. She pointed to one of them and said, "Smiley Charlie, he is responsible for the hallucinogen trade and human trafficking in Knockturn Alley."
"You've never taken advantage of him? But he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is easy to defeat." Xing Ze questioned.
"Indeed, this guy is very cautious." Tonks looked around, and then began to change her appearance. After a while, she turned into the black-haired white girl before.
"We heard from the cripple in Knockturn Alley that he goes to Sweet Home every month and finds a girl - white, dark-haired, petite - and he doesn't do that with her, he just lies with her
On the legs.”
"We learned from Big Daddy that he missed his mother. Charlie's mother had black hair and was a prostitute living in Knockturn Alley. He had an Oedipal complex."
"What a pervert." John said in disgust.
"Wait, who is Big Daddy?"
"Everyone at Sweet Home is not a match for the Burning Oil Gang." John explained to Xing Ze.
