Before opening the warehouse door, Hagrid was ready to rescue the person.
However, when the door was pushed open, the result was surprising.
There were no prisoners.
No one was imprisoned.
The entire warehouse was empty.
"Sherlock, this..."
Hagrid turned to look at Sherlock, his brain unable to process it for a moment.
"Hmph, a boring disguise!"
Sherlock's gaze swept across the entire warehouse, and he immediately understood.
"You block those guys outside first, let me take a look first."
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Hagrid patted his chest and guaranteed loudly.
The reason Sherlock said this was because someone was already rushing towards them.
Hagrid is indeed a tough person to deal with, there is no doubt about that.
However, Sherlock and Hagrid's behavior of directly rushing into the back of the black market and rummaging through the warehouse was indeed excessive.
To put it bluntly, it was like riding on the other party's head and defecating.
Even if the warehouse was indeed empty, it was still an intolerable thing.
So, when things progressed to this point, the managers of the black market could no longer sit still and hurriedly rushed over with people.
"Mr. Hagrid from Hogwarts, we have no intention of being your enemy, but what do you mean by this now?"
As the keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts, Rubeus Hagrid can be said to be famous in both Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.
Of course, another important reason is that almost the entire wizarding world knows that Hagrid is Dumbledore's most trusted person.
Although this is what Hagrid himself said, Dumbledore has never denied it.
And Hagrid has indeed done things for Dumbledore more than once.
This is very scary.
Even if the dark wizards of Knockturn Alley are despicable, shameless, cruel, and treacherous, and many of them are on the Ministry of Magic's wanted list.
But.
Even if they were given ten times the courage, they would never dare to offend Dumbledore, no, the former White Lord!
Moreover, Hagrid's own combat ability is not bad at all.
After carefully inspecting the structure of the warehouse, he took out the copper kettle he had prepared and poured the water on the ground.
"Fortunately, there is enough water prepared... it seems I still have to learn some practical spells."
Logically speaking, the Water-Making Spell is the best choice at this time.
Among the first-year courses, Charms is his strength, with a leading level far ahead of other students.
That's why he was able to use the Summoning Charm, which only upper-year students can master, when protecting the Philosopher's Stone.
But now it seems that he still needs to work harder.
After waiting patiently for a while, Sherlock discovered that the trickling water was beginning to gather towards the southeast corner of the warehouse.
He observed carefully and indeed found subtle cracks in the wall there.
Sherlock had no more doubts and directly drew out his wand:
"Alohomora!"
With a unlocking charm, the secret door slowly opened, and the room hidden behind it immediately came into view.
The commotion he created naturally attracted the attention of the black market wizards outside the warehouse.
"There's actually a secret door here?"
"What, how come I don't know?"
"Quickly get out of the way, we want to go in!"
Seeing the eager appearance of the crowd, Hagrid directly drew an arrow from his waist, placed it on the stone bow, aimed at the crowd, and shouted:
"No one is allowed to move!"
Hagrid was originally tall and sturdy, just standing there he was a head taller than everyone else, and at this time this action had a very good deterrent effect.
A group of wizards looked at each other.
Although everyone held wands in their hands, no one dared to take the lead.
But standing still in place like this was not an option either.
Finally, a bolder person tentatively cast a Leg-Locker Curse at Hagrid.
This is considered a relatively mild offensive spell, the effect of which is to immediately paralyze the lower limbs of the cursed person, making them unable to move.
That way, they could bypass Hagrid and enter the warehouse without hurting anyone.
However, this spell had no effect on Hagrid at all.
Not only that, but his behavior also angered Hagrid.
Without saying a word, Hagrid directly shot an arrow at him.
"Whoosh!"
With a scream, the man took an arrow to the knee and immediately fell to the ground.
The black market wizards who saw this scene were all shocked and shouted:
"Hagrid, you are relying on your strength to protect your friend here, aren't you?
"If everyone rushes up, Mr. Hagrid can't possibly kill all the people in the black market!"
"When your strength is exhausted, you will be just as doomed!"
Hagrid couldn't help but be furious when he heard this: "Are you scaring me?"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Sherlock's urgent voice coming: "Hagrid!"
Hagrid, who was originally confronting the black market people, immediately left them and rushed to Sherlock's side, his eyes full of urgency:
"Sherlock, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Sherlock pointed forward, "Save people!"
While Hagrid was dealing with the people from the Parthenon Black Market with his own strength, Sherlock had successfully opened the secret door.
Without a doubt, this small room hidden behind the secret door was the place originally used to imprison Musgrave.
It's just that Smith didn't deliberately hide it at the time, so Baskerville didn't know the relationship between the warehouse and the two.
Hagrid looked in the direction Sherlock pointed and immediately saw a person curled up against the wall, judging from his clothes,
It was actually the Greek interpreter.
"Damn it!"
Hagrid immediately took a stride into the room, picked him up, and returned to the warehouse.
At this time, the people from the black market also took the opportunity to enter the warehouse, and they all showed surprised looks when they saw the situation in front of them.
It was because the person Hagrid brought out had cyanotic lips, a swollen and congested face, and protruding eyes.
If it weren't for the familiar clothes and the black beard, Hagrid would almost not have recognized him as Baskerville.
"He's been poisoned!"
At this time, Hagrid couldn't care about the fact that they had broken into the warehouse, seeing Baskerville in this state, he was anxious and roared at the crowd:
"Does anyone know how to detoxify!"
A group of wizards looked at each other.
"Damn it, the effect of this poison is very strong, I have to take him to-"
Hagrid looked around, ready to carry Baskerville on his back and leave with Sherlock.
Saving people is the most important thing, investigating the case can be put on hold for now.
"I'll do it!"
Just then, a bald head emerged from the crowd.
Due to the existence of the Potter family's strong hair growth potion, marketing personnel have put out the slogan "The wizarding world does not allow bald people."
However, one of the raw materials is too rare, which makes the finished product more and more expensive, and not everyone can afford them.
So it is excusable to have one or two bald people occasionally.
The bald wizard spread out his palm, and in his palm was a substance that looked like a stone.
"Great! It's a Bezoar!"
Hagrid was overjoyed when he saw this, took the Bezoar and crushed it with a little force, then stuffed it into Baskerville's mouth, the effect was immediate.
After a violent cough, the Greek interpreter's poisoning symptoms gradually subsided, but a bruise from being beaten could still be seen on one eye.
"Thank goodness, that guy didn't use the Unforgivable Curses!"
Seeing this scene, Hagrid couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
As everyone knows, so far only Harry Potter has survived being hit by the Killing Curse.
Hagrid didn't think Baskerville had the ability of a savior either.
Seeing that Baskerville was out of danger, Sherlock asked Hagrid to notify the Hogwarts professors to come and support him, while continuing to block them, not to interfere with his investigation of the scene.
As things have developed to this point, relying on him and Hagrid alone, their strength already seems a bit weak.
Didn't these people just say that Hagrid was acting recklessly because of Dumbledore's trust?
Then just let them see it.
Sure enough, upon hearing that the Hogwarts professors were coming, the people who were originally planning to enter the prison cell with Sherlock immediately stopped talking.
Just kidding, no matter which professor from Hogwarts came, they were not someone they could provoke.
It would be better if Dumbledore came.
Although he is strong and has the title of White Lord among dark wizards.
But over the years, he has rarely fought with people.
With his demeanor and status, he probably wouldn't lower himself to their level.
But if Snape or McGonagall came, once it was known that they had bullied someone from Hogwarts, they would be in big trouble.
While waiting for Baskerville to recover and the Hogwarts professors to arrive, Sherlock entered the prison cell again.
Before long, he got what he wanted.
It just so happened that Baskerville had also recovered his energy at this time.
Although the poison may cause him to spend some time in the hospital in the following period, the Bezoar successfully pulled him back from the brink of death.
However, he was in poor condition at the moment and could only briefly tell Sherlock and Hagrid the process.
Just this afternoon, Smith found him for the fourth time.
As soon as he entered the house, the other party had a fierce battle with Baskerville's protecting friends.
Perhaps it was because of underestimation, perhaps because of insufficient strength, perhaps because the opponent was prepared.
In short, after a fierce fight, the three friends who protected Baskerville were all knocked down by Smith.
He then used their lives as a threat, holding Baskerville hostage and leaving with him again.
"Three against one and still got countered, what a shame!"
When the onlookers heard this, someone couldn't help but sneer.
"Shut up!"
Sherlock turned his head and said coldly.
Without saying a word, Hagrid immediately glared over in the direction of Sherlock's gaze.
The wizard who was originally planning to retort immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Sherlock understood Baskerville very well.
The strength shown by Smith produced an almost irresistible power on this poor man who knew several languages.
Moreover, he was kind by nature and had to help even strangers he didn't know, let alone the friends who came to protect him?
The result was that he was quickly kidnapped to Knockturn Alley, serving as an interpreter in the fourth meeting.
