The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

When a person's memory is modified, it is not noticeable on the surface and requires in-depth examination.

However, how could Picquery allow you to conduct a thorough investigation when it was clear that he was trying to frame Grindelwald?

As the last memory projection ended, Chairman Picquery stared at Grindelwald and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"I'm sorry, Chairman Picquery, I'm sorry, everyone. Too many of my fanatical followers have misinterpreted my thoughts and ideas, leading to extreme behavior... This is indeed my fault... If I can clear the false accusations against me, I will definitely standardize my thoughts and ideas more, such as... publishing a book or something." When Grindelwald said this, his eyes swept over Levid.

And Li Weide also showed a hint of doubt in his expression at the right time.

It was as if Grindelwald's idea surprised him.

Tom curled his lips beside him. He was really used to Li Weide who would always act like a dramatic character.

"Publish a book?" Chairman Picquery's eyes widened.

In the absence of direct evidence, it is foreseeable that Grindelwald is unwilling to plead guilty.

But, he just said he wanted to publish a book? To regulate his thoughts?

Chairman Picqueri's alertness instantly reached its highest point!

Absolutely! He cannot be allowed to escape punishment!

At the same time, the wizards who heard Grindelwald's words couldn't help but start talking.

Grindelwald publishing a book may seem like a trivial matter at first glance.

However, to a far-sighted wizard, the purpose of this action is obvious.

None of the wizards present today were stupid, so they could naturally see through his intentions.

And the most important thing is, since he has thought of such a long-term issue, doesn't it mean that he is really confident of getting away with it today?

"Silence!" Chairman Picqueri banged the gavel in his hand again.

After everyone quieted down, Chairman Picquery stared at Grindelwald and said, "So, you don't admit that these crimes have anything to do with you?"

"Chairman Picquery, as the president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, you must be an outstanding and excellent wizard. Then, there must be many people willing to follow you. If these people accidentally break the law, shouldn't we punish them instead of punishing you?" Grindelwald smiled.

"Remember, Grindelwald pleads not guilty!" Chairman Picquery said coldly.

Grindelwald didn't argue, just smiled at her.

"If you have any concrete evidence that can prove my guilt, please bring it out as soon as possible."

"Of course I have!" Chairman Picquery raised his head and looked towards the door. "Call the witness!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the door again.

Everyone knows that whether Grindelwald can be convicted depends on these witnesses.

I originally thought this trial would last a long time, but now it seems...

It was because when Grindelwald turned himself in, the evidence against him was cleared too cleanly!

All this happened silently!

By the time everyone realized what he was trying to do, it was already too late!

Who could have known that a criminal who had just suffered a crushing defeat and was then recuperating would choose to surrender directly?

As for the evidence of Grindelwald's crimes, everyone subconsciously believes that it is everywhere!

Therefore, no one will specifically protect this evidence.

As a result, almost all the evidence that can be used now has been quietly destroyed, and now there is very little that can be used...

At this time, the door was opened again.

A series of people walked in...

Everyone started talking again in surprise.

Originally, everyone thought that it would be a big deal if they could find one or two witnesses.

But now... there are so many witnesses?

So many people have proven that Grindelwald is guilty...then what crime can Grindelwald be free of?

Even if these witnesses were false, Grindelwald's plan to escape punishment today would be in vain!

No evidence was found before, and everyone was anxious and angry.

But now, so many witnesses suddenly appeared! And they were direct witnesses!

Everyone guessed a possibility...

So many people! Isn't this a clear-cut framing?

Everyone turned their gaze towards Grindelwald again.

Everyone wants to know how Grindelwald feels about the almost outrageous "frame-up" by the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

However, to everyone's surprise, Grindelwald remained calm and did not seem to be panicking at all.

"In the interest of fairness, all witnesses will take truth serum before testifying!" Chairman Picquery said.

So the Aurors were busy delivering truth serum to the witnesses.

Just when everyone was busy, Chairman Picquery came down and came to Grindelwald's side as if by chance.

She whispered, "You think I didn't notice the traitor Abernathy? You must have thought... Abernathy had already modified the memories of these people, right? You must not know that we saw everything Abernathy did! We've already restored the witnesses' memories... So, you're dead today!"

Grindelwald smiled and said, "Really? So you've discovered Abernathy... What a shame."

"What do you mean?" Not seeing any panic on Grindelwald's face, Chairman Picquery had a bad feeling again.

"Nothing much... I just want to say that I look forward to your evidence. As for Abernathy... may he live long." Grindelwald smiled elegantly.

Chairman Picquery stared at Grindelwald intently, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered something.

Just when they were about to catch the traitor, Abernathy suddenly disappeared...

This is not a good sign!

Chapter 162 Tom: A real man should be like this!

Although Grindelwald's calm demeanor surprised Picquery.

However, the arrow is now on the string and has to be shot.

Moreover, they had already discovered Abernathy's little trick! And, they had corrected it afterwards!

Although Abernathy escaped when they were about to arrest him, there will definitely be no problem with the witness this time!

No matter how calm Grindelwald appears, he cannot change the facts!

Just as Chairman Picquery was convincing himself, an Auror came over to report.

"Chairman, the witnesses have taken Veritaserum and are available to testify at any time."

"Okay... let's start right away!" Chairman Picquery glanced at Grindelwald, who was still smiling, and turned back to his seat.

"Witness number one, Morton Webb!" Picquery looked at the first witness who came forward.

He was a short and fat wizard with a dull expression on his face, which was a normal reaction after taking the truth serum.

"Have you met Gellert Grindelwald before today?" Picquery asked.

"I have seen it." Weber nodded.

"When did you see him?"

"He was there the day my brother was murdered!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar.

Chairman Picqueri, who was sitting at the top, smiled for the first time.

Sure enough, what Abernathy had done had been completely corrected!

If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to worry about!

Picquery glanced at Grindelwald again. She wanted to see how long this bastard could maintain his calm expression!

"Silence!" Picquery struck the gavel again, restoring silence to the venue.

After the meeting finally quieted down, Chairman Picquery asked again, "Who killed your brother?"

"He was killed by a witch... He was Grindelwald's subordinate..." Weber said dully.

After this testimony, the wizards in the venue couldn't help but start talking again.

Even if Chairman Picqueri keeps banging the hammer this time, it will be of no avail.

Grindelwald was present, and his witch gang killed people!

Even if he didn't do it himself, if he ordered it, then this can almost be said to be direct evidence!

Although I don't know whether this witness was a false witness deliberately arranged by the Magic Congress, but in this way, at least the charge of murder can be firmly confirmed against him!

Even if Grindelwald decides to appeal in the end, that will be a matter for the future. By then, there will definitely not be as big a stir as this public trial.

Because if this public trial initiated by Grindelwald turns into a farce, then Grindelwald's prestige will be completely depleted...

When the meeting gradually quieted down, Chairman Picquery began to ask anxiously, "Weber, did you witness with your own eyes that Grindelwald ordered his men to murder your brother?"

Following Chairman Picquery's words, the wizards in the venue fell completely silent.

Whether a conviction can be achieved depends on the witness's answer.

Of course, everyone already has the answer in their hearts.

Because this time, the Magical Congress of the United States is planning to break the rules and directly frame him... The result shouldn't be a big reversal.

"No, not really," Weber replied.

As soon as this answer came out, everyone looked at him in shock.

Chairman Picqueli, who was sitting in the main seat, was even more stunned.

"Witness! Please repeat your answer!"

"No, not really." Weber replied dully again.

The venue became noisy again because the witness's answer was too unexpected!

Does the current testimony seem to favor Grindelwald? What's the MACUSA up to?

"This...how is it possible..." Chairman Picquery fell into his chair, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained.

She looked back at Grindelwald.

Grindelwald was standing quietly in the judgment seat, a faint smile still on his face.

It was as if everything that happened was under his control.

But...how is this possible? !

"It was the Wiccans who murdered your brother, and Grindelwald was indeed present. So, what was Grindelwald doing at the time?" Chairman Picquery asked unwillingly.

Although all the answers were beyond Chairman Picquery's expectations, in this situation, as long as Grindelwald was present at the time! Even if Grindelwald didn't say anything at the time, she would have a way to regard the evil deeds of the Wiccan Party as Grindelwald's tacit approval!

In this way, she also has a way to make Grindelwald bear the crime!

"It was indeed Grindelwald's men who murdered my brother, because my brother was against Grindelwald's ideas at the time. And Grindelwald was trying to stop his men from killing my brother... but unfortunately the Aurors interrupted him." Webber answered quietly.

As he answered this, the conference hall, which had been a little noisy because of his previous answer, suddenly became quiet.

So far, the testimony of the first witness has not only failed to accuse Grindelwald of the crime, but has even... changed his image in people's minds?

Isn't he a vicious dark wizard? How could he save people from his own men?

Moreover, according to the witnesses, if the Aurors had not rushed in and attacked Grindelwald, Webber's brother might not have died?

Chairman Picqueri slumped in his chair, completely confused as to why things had turned out like this...

She snapped her eyes to the Aurors.

When they came back to report, they clearly stated that the witness's memory had been completely restored!

Now, the witness' testimony looks like this!

She had every reason to believe that there was a traitor among her most trusted Aurors!

However, the Aurors she was staring at also had puzzled expressions on their faces.
