Chapter 78
"Snapped"

"It's a provocation against us to actually wipe out the Eric family at this time, and it is absolutely intolerable."

Upon receiving the news, the Minister of Magic, Millicent Barnold, hurried over, looked at the scene in front of him, and shouted at the crowd.

"Minister, after inspection, the dead at the scene were all poisoned with deadly poison, and then they were stabbed.

In addition, all kinds of property, books, and magic items of the Eric family have been looted. "

"Minister, just now there is news from Gringotts that a group of people in black clothes took away all the property of the Eric family at midnight last night."

One after another news came, but none of them was good news.

However, she also understood.Regarding the genocide this time, it was an organized and premeditated criminal gang.

"Rufus Scrimgeour, Moody will be retiring this year. I hope you can be the Auror Director with a perfect posture. And this is your stepping stone.

I hope you will not disappoint us all. "

"I promise, this group of people will be brought to justice."

Although he couldn't find that Millicent was looking for someone to take the blame, he still had to take this matter on his shoulders for his own future.If he objected, then the Auror director position he got would fly away.

If you can't find it, you'll be sprayed at worst, and you won't lose a piece of meat.

Seeing that Rufus Scrimgeour understood what he meant and took over the case, Millicent Barnold nodded in satisfaction and left with a group of people.

From her point of view, this was obviously just a killing among pure-blood families, and the ones who died were all Death Eaters.Although there is not enough evidence to send them to Azkaban.

However, this ending is not bad.It just needs someone to take the blame, and Rufus Scrimgeour, who will take office, is undoubtedly the perfect candidate.

"Director, quickly read the latest Daily Prophet."

Before Rufus Scrimgeour had settled down in his office, one of his henchmen came to him with a newspaper.

He casually took the newspaper, but when he saw the front page of the newspaper, he jumped up in fright.

It not only registered the extermination of Eric's family, but also described in detail some actions of the Ministry of Magic and the actions of some families before this incident.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the lines between the lines were full of hints about the Ministry of Magic's attack.Especially the end of the article directly points out the author's hesitation and anxiety about the future.

In this period, who is still asking such demagogic questions, wondering if Voldemort is dead?

I took a look at the author, and it turned out to be Rita Skeeter, that's okay.

Having said that, the outside world has turned upside down now.At the entrance of the Department of Magic, you can now see that the sky has been occupied by the figures of owls.

These are all people who wrote to the Ministry of Magic to ask the truth after reading the newspaper.There are even quite a few red roaring letters mixed in, apparently quite a few people have already believed in this conspiracy theory.

"Director, do we need to arrest that Rita Skeeter now?"

After hearing this question from his confidant, Rufus looked at him expressionlessly, as if he was looking at an idiot.

After being stared at for a while, he also understood what idiot question he asked just now, and retreated silently.

After sorting out the information in his hand, he went to the minister's office to find Millicent Barnold. The best way now is to close the case as soon as possible, and he must not let the public opinion intensify.

"You, is the above conclusion true?"

"I promise, this is a possible fact that does exist."

Regarding Rufus Scrimgeour's ability to investigate the ins and outs of the entire genocide case within half a day, Millicent expressed satisfaction with his ability to work.

Subsequently, a press conference was held, hoping to quell the rumors and stabilize the social order.

"Ms. Minister, since you have been able to investigate the facts so quickly, you can't be calling for a thief from the beginning."

When Millicent said that she would announce the real culprit of this incident, Rita Skeeter interrupted directly.

After Millicent glanced coldly, she ignored her and continued:

"Let the newly appointed head of the Auror Operations Command, Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour, explain the case to everyone."

After Rufus came to power, he gave everyone the investigation results of the crime scene in his hands, and briefly explained them.

In the end, he came to a conclusion that it was the people of the Four Islands who committed this tragedy.

In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he not only gave examples of some frictions between the sunset country and the four island countries some time ago, but also related to the behavior of these island people during World War II.Fully demonstrated their motives for committing crimes.

With this series of evidence, it seems that the identity of the murderer in the Four Islands has been confirmed.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Magic began to make efforts to guide public opinion towards the four island countries, which also made other European magic circles begin to condemn the four island countries.

Under this series of operations, the Ministry of Magic of the Sunset Country quelled the internal panic, the family forces divided up the Eric family's territory and the distribution of benefits, and the European countries were addicted to melons. It can be said that all parties have Profit.

Perhaps the only ones injured were the people from the Four Islands.

This time, they not only need to pay a large sum of money, but also need to cede a lot of benefits to satisfy the red eyes of those watching melon-eating people in Europe and America.

Due to the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic, the current situation was caused, so there was an incident in the four islands.

Tsuchimikado Ryuji, who was born in the famous Onmyo family, led a group of subordinates to overthrow the previous leadership and become the new Minister of Magic.

Then, under his leadership, he not only rejected the traitorous agreement signed by his predecessor, but also forcibly destroyed the Luzon Ministry of Magic, which wanted to take advantage of it, and stood firm.

Although the indemnity has not been recovered, he has already defended the dignity of a thousand-year-old country and a powerful country.Therefore, he won the support of the mysterious side in the four islands, and was regarded as an idol by the younger generation.

And this national idol is now communicating with people.

"Fourth brother, this cooperation is a pleasure. I have already sent you the transportation route for those indemnities. If you can snatch them, it will be your operating expenses."

"Old Qi, I can't see it. When you are still so generous, the millions of Galleons are so generous that you don't want them."

"Hahaha, the money is not mine, and it's all the work of the previous Minister of Magic, so isn't it a good person? Why should I spend so much effort to get it back.

In other words, I have now become the Minister of Magic of the Four Islands, when will you be able to replace that girl and become the head wizard of the Sunset Kingdom. "

"With Dumbledore on our side, it's not that easy to get the top position. But when that genius finishes Voldemort, he's probably going to leave.

At that time, your help may be needed. "

"Don't worry, fourth brother, it's enough to say hello when the time comes, I will definitely help you within the scope of my ability."
