Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

Newt is back.

Jiang Li stayed at Queenie's house for a month, and he hasn't seen Newt for nearly a month.

He looked tired, his gray hair was messy, his already thin cheeks were even sunken, and there were dark circles under his eyes that couldn't even hide his wrinkles, all of which showed that he had a bad life recently.

"What happened?" Tina asked with concern seeing him like this.

"Something happened here in New York." Newt swallowed the rest of his sentence when his eyes fell on the two boys behind Tina.

"Rolf, you and Draco go back to the room, I have something to tell your grandma." Newt tried to send the two boys away extremely perfunctorily.

Draco was a little reluctant, he was curious what kind of things could make Newt worry so much, but Rolf listened to his grandfather's words and dragged Draco to the room.

"Hey, Newt, you're back. If you don't come back, I thought you were taken away by some magical animal!"

Jiang Li tidied up her messy hair and clothes, walked out of her room, and teased Newt with a smile.

"I'd rather be taken away by magical beasts!" Newt looked extremely anxious, Jiang Li and Tina hadn't seen his expression like this for a long time.

"What are you two still standing here for? Go back to your room!" Seeing Rolf and Draco standing beside Tina, Newt raised his voice and snapped.

"But, Li is also here, why can she stay and listen to the conversation between you and Mrs. Scamander?" Draco retorted in a low voice, Jiang Li could stay, and he wanted to stay to know what was going on even more. .

"Draco, didn't Lucius teach you not to talk back to your elders!" Newt's face was ugly, and he pointed to the room of Draco and Rolf, "Go back!"

"Newt!" Even Tina, who was usually very strict with the two of them, felt that Newt was going too far. She tugged on his sleeve to signal him not to be so cruel to the children.

Newt shook his head, pinched the center of his eyebrows, and noticed something strange.

"What's wrong with me?" Newt's voice became gentle again, and he cast an apologetic look at the two boys, "Sorry, boys, my attitude was a bit bad just now, you go to the room first, it is necessary If so, I will tell you."

Tina also nodded to the two of them, pointed to their room with her finger, and signaled them to go back to the room.

Draco respected Tina from the bottom of his heart. He had trained under Tina for more than a month, and he completely regarded Tina as his teacher.

Seeing that Tina also signaled this, Draco could only reluctantly return to the room with Rolf.

"The children have all gone back, what happened, Newt?" Tina asked impatiently.

"New York has been very uneasy recently. Half a month ago, a female corpse was found in the central garden. Her heart was dug out and her blood was drained. The death was particularly horrifying. A week ago, a male corpse was found in the central bank's vault. , the state of death was exactly the same as that of the female corpse, and the same corpses were found in various places in New York one after another in the following week."

Jiang Li poured him a cup of hot tea, he took a few sips, heaved a long sigh of relief, and continued to describe.

"A total of thirteen dead people were found, seven of them were wizards, and six of them were ordinary Muggles. In addition to the investigation by the Ministry of Magic on our side, the Muggle police are also investigating this incident. .”

"The most suspicious thing is that there were no traces of fighting at the scene or on the body of the deceased, and the seven wizards who died were not bad in strength, and one of them even won the championship of the wizard duel competition."

Listening to Newt's description, Jiang Li frowned, and expressed his guess: "One is that the murderer may have drugged the victim into a stupor, or the murderer's strength is too strong, and these wizards were killed before they even made a move." Killed."

In fact, an answer had already vaguely appeared in her heart, and she guessed that it was probably Qi Ye.

"You are right, but what is even more frightening is that according to the autopsy information obtained from the Muggle police station, all the deceased were still alive, and their hearts were dug out by the murderer, using extremely cruel methods."

When he said this, Newt's face became even worse, not only because of the murderer's extreme cruelty, but also because the corpse was treated by the murderer with some kind of curse or spell, and the Ministry of Magic couldn't recover from the corpse. get any useful information.

Fortunately, the director of the Muggle Police Department, Jennifer, and Jacob are good friends. He met the director through Jacob. The Muggles used their methods such as physical autopsy to obtain some useful information, such as the time of death and death.

"Jennifer said that according to the current information, there is no connection between the victims. She preliminarily speculates that the victim is a murderer with anti-social personality, who is carrying out an indiscriminate massacre in New York."

Newt inserted his fingers into the hair a little irritably, grabbed a few handfuls, trying to relieve the irritability in his heart.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Li felt more and more that it was Qi Ye, and Grindelwald also told her that Qi Ye was essentially a bloodthirsty murderer.

"The one who can kill a wizard can only be a wizard or a magician who is stronger than him. Muggles are basically impossible." Jiang Li frowned and analyzed.

She guessed that Newt probably didn't know about Qi Ye, otherwise, if he knew that there was such a person, it would be too easy to guess.

"I think so too, so Tina, I hope you and Queenie take the children and leave New York first, and go to Paris or London." Newt asked Tina worriedly.

"What about you? Come with us?" Tina asked him back.

Newt shook his head at her: "No, I want to stay and investigate the truth of the matter. You and Queenie left New York with their three children. It's not safe here anymore."

"No, I want to stay and help you, Newt, let Queenie take them away." Tina shook her head while holding Newt's hand, tears glistened in her old eyes.

"Tina, if you were 30 or [-] years younger, I would definitely agree with you to stay, but no, take the children and leave, just take it as my request." Newt held her hand behind his back , and gently patted the back of her hand with the other hand.

"Okay." Tina covered her mouth and ran back to her room. Jiang Li felt warm liquid spilled on the back of his hand when she passed by him.

"Li, you go clean up and leave New York with Tina tomorrow." Newt smiled at Jiang Li with a smile that was uglier than crying.

"No! I want to stay." Jiang Li sat down on the stool opposite him.

"Don't be willful! The opponent is not Grindelwald, and he won't show mercy to you like him!" Newt said with a frown.

Jiang Li sat across from him, showing a half-smile expression under the bright light.

"Newt, I probably know who the killer is."
