Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 186 Barty Crouch Case

Just when the rat extermination team was about to step out of the door, an accident happened suddenly.

A fat, big rat suddenly bit through the door panel and jumped out of the closed door.

He ran away unscrupulously in full view of everyone.

"Director Crouch, there is probably a rat nest in that room. I'm afraid we have to go in and check it out." The captain of the rodent eradication team said seriously to Barty Crouch.

"No!" Barty Crouch's voice became strangely sharp. "There are a lot of Ministry of Magic secrets in there."

At this time, Barty Crouch's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

"I'm afraid not, Director Crouch." The captain of the rodent control team said to him seriously.

"These rats have begun to bite people! If we don't get rid of them quickly, the rat infestation will continue to spread!"

"You can't!" Barty Crouch blocked the wooden door with his body.

"Sorry, Director! If I accidentally see any secrets, you can cast a forgetting spell on me!" The captain of the rat extermination team also showed extraordinary toughness.

He even pushed past Barty Crouch and tried to open the door himself.

The rude behavior of the leader of the exterminator team frightened and annoyed Barty Crouch.

Given his prestige in the Ministry of Magic, almost no one dared to do this in front of him.

Barty Crouch planned to use his majesty as a senior official of the Ministry of Magic to teach this rude guy a lesson.

At this time, the arrogant and rude guy finally tried to open the locked door.

Just when Barty Crouch was about to start reprimanding, he suddenly felt a chill running from his brain along his spine to his tailbone.

Barty Crouch shuddered.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be surrounded by a huge conspiracy.

From the inexplicable rat infestation, to the spread of the rat infestation, to expelling the rats from house to house.

Barty Crouch suddenly felt a huge net surrounding him.

Barty Crouch's thoughts were racing, and he quickly reviewed the recent events in his mind.

He gradually discovered that there seemed to be an invisible thin line that gradually led to him.

Looking at the leader of the rodent extermination team again, Barty Crouch saw an intriguing look in his eyes.

While Barty Crouch was in a daze, the door had been forcibly opened.

The exterminator team rushed in, but unfortunately found nothing.

There was nothing else in the room except a small bed, a bookcase, and a shivering house elf.

"What do you guys want to do!" Barty Crouch was frightened when he saw the door being opened.

He also rushed into the room angrily and asked loudly.

"We are looking for rat infestations one by one." The leader of the rodent control team said with a half-smile.

Although he looked calm and composed on the surface, he was also very anxious on the inside.

The crazy criminal Barty Crouch Jr. was not hiding in this room as planned.

Just as Barty Crouch expected, the whole rat infestation was a ploy arranged by Fudge.

The purpose was to "accidentally" discover the Death Eaters hiding in Barty Crouch's home in the name of exterminating rats.

The members of this exterminator team are Fudge's die-hard loyalists, and they are also people who will never betray Fudge.

The captain's eyes quickly scanned the entire room, trying to find some kind of secret door, tunnel or the like.

Unfortunately, even after carefully checking the room, no clues were found.

The captain gradually became anxious. He knew that he had completely broken up with Barty Crouch.

If nothing is found, not only himself, but also Minister Fudge will have a hard time explaining it.

The captain's eyes scanned the room again, and soon his eyes fell on the frightened house elf.

He noticed that the house elf's standing posture seemed a bit awkward, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

The captain's eyes moved forward again, and he found a strange depression on the mattress of the bed, as if someone was sitting on it.

The captain smiled and walked forward.

"Don't go any further!" Barty Crouch's voice became dry and harsh.

"Obviously, there is no rat infestation here. You can leave." Barty Crouch was still making his final struggle.

The captain smiled without saying anything and continued to walk forward.

"You are not allowed to move forward one by one." The thin house elf stretched out his hands in front of the captain, trying to block him.

The captain didn't care about the house elf's obstruction at all. He kicked the house elf hard with a grunt.

This kick sent the house elf flying, and she whined before slamming into the wall.

The captain reached out his hand to the bed and gently grabbed it, and suddenly a man unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone.

Barty Crouch Jr. has been sitting in the room wearing an invisibility cloak from the beginning.

A man with pale skin, slight freckles, and light yellow messy hair suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Director Barty Crouch, who is this?" the captain asked Barty Crouch seriously.

Barty Crouch sat on the ground like a deflated rubber ball, with only one thought in his mind.

That's how Fudge learned of such a secret thing.

The next day, a bomb-like news caused an uproar in the Ministry of Magic.

It’s confirmed! Director Barty Crouch is harboring an Azkaban fugitive!

It’s confirmed! Director Barty Crouch is harboring Death Eaters!

It’s confirmed! Director Barty Crouch has always been in contact with the Death Eaters!

It’s confirmed! Director Barty Crouch has betrayed the Ministry of Magic!

It’s confirmed! Director Barty Crouch has been a hidden Death Eater from the beginning!

Truth mixed with lies spread like a storm through the Ministry of Magic.

Everyone was discussing this matter with horror and shock.

After all, the news that a high-ranking Ministry of Magic official was associated with Death Eaters was shocking.

Even when the news first came out, everyone couldn't believe it.

At this time, no one cares about Fudge anymore. At this time, the Ministry of Magic urgently needs someone who can take charge of things to stabilize the situation.

Fudge also stood up in a strong manner in time.

No matter how incompetent Fudge was, he still served as Minister of Magic for many years.

He used his many years of experience in managing the Ministry of Magic and his accumulated prestige to effectively stabilize the floating hearts.

Fudge held a press conference in time, at which Fudge confirmed that Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, was indeed harboring prisoners of Azkaban.

But when asked by reporters whether Barty Crouch was a Death Eater, Fudge remained silent and said only that an investigation was needed.

Then Fudge announced to everyone that he had delegated all investigative powers to Ethan, the leader of the Magical Crisis Response Team.

Ethan will be responsible for everything regarding the investigation of the Barty Crouch case.
