The Evil God of Hogwarts

Chapter 157 Sheriff

Within days of their meeting with Ackermann, they were granted visiting rights with Martin Skrtel, but only once.

Xing Ze picked a suitable day and went to St. Mungo's with Ellie.

Because of the approval of the competent therapist, they encountered few obstacles along the way.

After simply filling out their identities, the two entered the psychiatric building of St. Mungo's under the leadership of a nurse.

Unlike the departments outside, the psychiatric building is more like an independent prison. The wards inside are all single rooms and have thick special doors. The caregivers working here are all specially trained people, some of whom are even better than Aurors.

Xing Ze was lucky enough to have been here once before, so he knew something about the situation inside.

Martin Skrtel's hospital room was on the second floor, which suggested that his dream contamination was not serious.

This was indeed the case. When the two entered the ward, Skrtel was reading a third-rate detective novel.

His hands and feet are wearing special lightweight cuffs that will not have any impact on his life when they are not activated.

However, once activated, the magic beam formed between the cuffs can tightly restrain the patient, thereby restricting their movement to the greatest extent.

Skrtel looked up at the person, closed the book and said, "I don't know you."

"It's enough for us to know you." Ellie moved her fingers and summoned the only chair in the room.

Xing Ze leaned against the door so he could call the nurse later.

"Wizard?" Skrtel swung back and forth between Xing Ze and Ally, "Did Mendes send you here?"

The eldest lady snorted disdainfully, "They are not qualified to command me. Mr. Skrtel, I am Ali Shafik. The one standing by the door is Xing Ze."

The Sheriff's expression changed and he asked suspiciously: "The Shafiq family?"

"I understand your doubts." Ellie took out a letter and handed it over, "This is a letter from your wife. You can read it first before making a decision."

Skrtel frowned and took the letter, then looked at it carefully. After a few minutes, he put the letter away and said, "Are my wife and children safe?"

"This letter was sent to me yesterday, and you also saw the attached photo. If you still don't want to believe it, then take a look at this again."

After saying that, Ellie stretched out her hand, and her own magic power condensed into a complex emblem on her palm. "You should know the coat of arms of the Shafiq family."

The Sheriff nodded reluctantly.

"Dear young lady." He stood up and saluted to Ellie, "Forgive me for questioning just now."

"That's not necessary, Mr. Skrtel." Ellie waved her hand, "I know you still have doubts, but your family is safe. If you want to leave this place early to meet them, you'd better tell us. The whole truth."

"You...are investigating a murder in an office building?"

"That's right. In addition, we are still looking for your friend, the missing wizard painter - Harvey."

Skrtel thought for a while before replying: "I need to know first what did you find?"

Ellie's face darkened, "Don't test my patience anymore, Mr. Skrtel. Unless you want to stay here for the rest of your life. Believe me, I can do this, and it's very easy."

"I know. But I need to see your sincerity. I contacted friends and even family members for this. It was me who asked Dr. Ackerman to isolate me, so your threats can't scare me."

"Propose?"

Xing Ze, who had been silent all this time, explained at this time: "I think he is probably afraid that he will be killed by a wizard."

Both of their eyes turned to Xing Ze.

"Am I right? Mr. Sheriff." Xing Ze smiled slightly, "This matter involves the mayor, the Mendez family. That's why you asked Ackerman to send you to a psychiatric ward.

"Actually, you don't have to ask, he will do it. There are only two ways for patients who want to visit here: get the consent of more than half of the psychiatric therapists, and the consent of the therapist in charge.

"The second option is to apply to the Ministry of Magic. But just like going to Azkaban, the application process is cumbersome and complicated, and few people will take the initiative to apply. In this case, it is undoubtedly the safest for you to come here.

"Because the Mendez family doesn't have the strength to bribe half of the doctors here. Even if they do, it's useless to get the consent of that madman Ackerman. So you can still stay here for a while until their application is approved. .

"But believe me, Mr. Sheriff, you don't have much time left. Think about your wife and children. The Mendez family will eventually become angry, and those wizards will do extremely terrible things."

Xing Ze's words completely pushed aside Skrtel's last line of defense.

He took a deep breath and said, "Harvey has always had some strange dreams, and sometimes he would draw them.

“I always thought it was just a bragging ploy, because every artist brags about his inspiration.

"I remember it was May last year, the weather was very hot, and Harvey came to me and talked about nightmares. Speaking of this in private, I didn't mind.

"But this time he came to my office and started yelling. I suspected he was high, and it turned out he was. So I pulled up the curtains and used my fists to calm him down completely.

"Then he told me a series of nightmares about what he had seen and heard. He thought this series of dreams must be hinting at something to him. I suggested that he go home and lie down so that he could have another dream comfortably..."

"You don't believe him," Ellie interjected.

"Of course I don't believe it. For Jesus' sake, I'm a policeman, a Muggle policeman. Shouldn't all this dream stuff be left to wizards?

"Anyway, he stopped for a few days. I was able to continue working with peace of mind. At that time, in addition to dealing with daily work matters, I was also investigating the disappearance case in the village of Novi Ravenska.

"The case of the missing prostitute on South Bridge Street, the disappearance of the homeless man in Memorial Park. There are also many children who disappeared on their way home from school.

"I don't know if anyone has counted. There are more disappearances in New Ravenska Village than the three surrounding towns combined. This does not include the missing wizards. But even so, there is still a steady stream of outsiders. into the town.

"Just when I was at a loss, Harvey invited me to his home. I went and found that his real purpose was to talk to me about the dream he had recently.

“I had the patience—and I admit the beer was partly responsible for that—to listen to his craziness, thanked him for the drink, and went home.

"I woke up the next day, ready to continue eating and waiting to die. But that afternoon I received a report that two children entered the office building to try their courage, but did not come out.

"And Harvey dreamed all this. He warned me, but I took his words for granted. So after the on-site investigation turned up nothing, I went to visit Harvey again.

"He showed me his latest painting, which showed us locking down the office building this morning, and of course I was in the painting."
