Harry Potter’s Morning Light

Chapter 454: Stumbling block

   Chapter 454

  The British police release five foreign criminals into the streets of the UK every day, instead of expelling them from the UK. The reason for this is because of the budget.

To imprison these prisoners requires taxation. If they are allowed to work in the community with a tracking device, they can reduce taxes by more than a million, especially for prisoners abroad. These prisoners are not British. They have to be punished for breaking British laws, but Taxpayers’ money should not be used, and it will cost money to repatriate them. The key is to return after deportation. As prisons are overcrowded and overcrowded, there has been an increase in violent behaviors and crimes, and even some complex criminal networks are built in prisons. Therefore, the British judiciary has "hope" that criminals can return to their country by promising to reduce their sentences. .

  Slum sanitation in big cities is much better than slums like Cokworth Spider’s Tail. After all, if the plague breaks out, no one can escape in this city. The streets of the East City look clean and not so messy. Grimmauld Place is in the northwest of London, and the security is much better than the northeast. There are graffiti on the walls, and the northeast walls are full of "street art". , There are strangely dressed "punks" everywhere.

No one is surprised by people in black with cloaks like Severus. In Feinong’s words, these people are not "decent people." Feinong is considered a white-collar worker, and would not move to this type to save rent. Place, and he has a legitimate job, he won’t be idle during the working day.

Illegal immigrants are not all smuggled, especially in Eastern European countries. They can apply for asylum when they enter the UK. Each immigrant not only has his own room, three meals a day are also taken care of, and there are 35 pounds of change every week, and some receptions. Illegal immigrants also have swimming pools in their hotels. Coming to the UK is like being reborn, so illegal immigrants do everything possible to enter the UK.

It's just that these immigrants must leave London. If they want to stay in London, they have to look for work outside the "normal economy". This is not controlled. They can find a job even without an ID card. Their wages are relatively low, so there is nothing. The French rented expensive houses, and the northeast and the south bank of the Thames became their gathering place.

  There are many supermarkets in Chinatown, but you can rarely see them in the northeast city. Most of them are grocery stores. Little children are not as innocent as Hogwarts. They start smoking early, dress up hip-hop, and talk and behave like minors. The orphanage where Tom used to live is a better place than this neighborhood.

"I don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day in this kind of place." Pomona said depressed, but her "lover" ignored her at all. He strode down the depressed street with his long cloak flying in the cold wind. , It looked like he was going to a duel.

"Are you still angry?"

   "No." Severus said awkwardly without looking back, obviously angry.

  "Where are we going?" She can only keep up with his speed by jogging. He is really not considerate to a person who is recovering from a serious illness.

"Informant's residence." They came to a dilapidated and shady building, which was a Victorian apartment like South Kensington, except that the wall skin had fallen off, and the red bricks and steps inside were mottled. It was also dirty, with cigarette butts everywhere.

The soundproofing effect of the apartment in disrepair is not good, you can hear the sound of children crying, the narrow staircase is painted with discolored blue paint, which looks very dim, and there are drunk people sitting on the stairs and sleeping against the wall. , Pomona felt that the man might have frozen to death, or might attack her at any time, she quickly walked past him sideways.

They came to the third floor. The corridor was as dilapidated as the stairwell, and there was a peculiar smell of urine and vomit. The residents who lived here closed the doors one by one, and there was no light during the day, Pomona. I couldn't help but use a fluorescent flicker, but what I saw was garbage and cockroaches all over the floor, it would be better to not see anything.

  "Tom used to be at least neatly dressed in the orphanage." Pomona said sadly. This place is a **** like Severus said, and it is not suitable for children to grow up. "How did you find this place?"

   "I'll take you to the hospital and Kreacher will follow the Muggle boy." He sneered and said, "Someone is always asking for trouble."

  At this time, they came to the door of the third room in the long corridor. A gleam of light came out from the crack in the door. A shadow could be seen walking by, obviously there was someone in the room.

   "Are we going to knock on the door?" she asked, and the door could be opened with an Arachne Cave at this time, but Severus did not move.

"what's happenin?"

   "Come in, friend." A man's voice came from behind the thin door.

  The person who spoke was very enthusiastic, and was out of tune with this terrible environment. At the same time, the door was opened, and it was the child who stole Pomona’s bracelet.

  He didn't dare to look up at the two of them. He opened the door and avoided it. As the door of the house slowly opened, a tiger crouching on the ground suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you." The man who spoke just now said, and Pomona turned her eyes to him. It was a Chinese, dressed in embroidered formal wear, looking gentle and polite, in an empty living room. Make tea in it.

  The pickpocket boy and a girl older than him are standing together in the corner. They dare not look at the three of them, and try their best to hide their sense of existence, just like a bystander.

   "Who are you?" Severus asked.

  "My surname is Ma, Ma Yourong, everyone else calls me Mr. Ma, what do you call it?"

   "Others call me'Mr.'" Severus said slowly.

  Ma Yu簰's hand for some tea paused, and the smile on his face deepened.

   "Two of you, please come in and sit down. The wind is very strong and the tea is cold."

   "What are you doing here?" Severus continued standing at the door and asked.

"Valentina works in the hotel we run. I heard that her brother provokes people who shouldn't be offended and needs my help." Ma Youyan said flatly, "Use a curse on a child, you start. Is it too cruel?"

   "It seems that you know a lot." Severus put his hand behind him, and quietly pulled his wand out of his sleeve. "Are you a wizard from the East?"

"In my country, those who can be called'witches' are amazing people. I just know a little trick." Ma Youyan put down the teapot. Break the rules when you show up, what do you want to do?"

   "I need some information." Severus pursed his upper lip and said slickly, "Last Christmas, someone silently attacked Diagon Alley. I want to know news about it."

  "In my country, if a child has an extraordinary talent and the parents are too happy to be happy, I can hardly understand you." Ma Yujia turned his attention to Pomona, "What should I call you, madam?"

   "Watson." Pomona said immediately, "but he is not Sherlock Holmes."

  Ma Yujoe looked at the two silently.

   "Moriarty, you can call me that." Severus smiled and showed his yellow teeth, looking very evil.

   "The two seem to be living a secret life." Ma Youyan leaned back into the chair. "Who are you working for?"

  "What about you, Mr. Ma, are you working for Hongmen?" Professor Moriarty asked.

"I prefer to be freelancers. My name is derived from an idiom "Believe in Ma Youyan". In English, it means letting things go as they should." Ma Youyan said. "The parents of these two children are dead. If you have any questions, you must be under my supervision. If Ivan doesn’t want to answer your questions, you can’t force him like before. He stole your things and you taught him a lesson. End here, can you accept these two conditions?"

  Severus stared at the tiger on the ground.

  It has a beautiful fur, squatting like a pet at the feet of the gorgeously dressed Ma Yuyan, making this slum house suddenly gorgeous.

  But this gorgeousness is different from Malfoy's gorgeousness.

   is more deep, restrained, beautiful and dangerous, and exudes fatal temptation, which is hard to describe in words.
