Chapter 288 temptation
Barty Crouch is usually a very pampered person.
Because he is old, although his face is full of wrinkles and small old spots, his skin is still white and tender, but today his face looks a little pale.
After careful observation, Moody, who had dealt with him the most before, could realize that something was wrong.
After his reminder, Sherlock realized this now, and Crouch himself was one of the two most suspected people.
Now that this is the time when I discovered such a thing, it undoubtedly added more doubtful doubts to him.
Moody and Sherlock did not react strangely to this. They just got together and talked in a low voice that only two people could hear.
"What should I do next?" Moody asked.
Sherlock did not stare at Crouch's face like that, but pretended to appreciate the display furniture in the conference room as if nothing had happened, and looked at him from the corner of his eyes.
"We need to verify whether there is any injury on him. Can you see through something with your magical fake eye? Can you achieve the ability to see through perspective?"
Moody's face turned strange when he asked about this.
"Of course not! My eyes can see through some clothes with magic, but how can a normal robe like this have a perspective function!"
"That's how it is."
Sherlock smacked his lips and looked like a pity.
Then he said, "When I'll create opportunities for you, you can stare at him. Remember, look at his back, where is the most harmful place in Shenfeng Wuying."
Just as Sherlock and the Moody's author were briefly communicated, Dumbledore also came to the other referees who were called here, telling the story of the accident that happened to the Fire Dragon.
"... As I said just now, if you want to perform the first competition at the time you have determined, the Romanian dragon trainers will not be able to borrow new fire dragons. If you want to remain unchanged as planned, then we can use the help provided by Sherlock. With the cooperation of his unique friend, these dead fire dragons can be brought back to life and have no difference from the original dragon."
Dumbledore whispered as he looked at the other four referees present.
He did not fully explain the specific cause of the fire dragon's death, but vaguely skipped it, just saying that the fire dragon in the forbidden forest had some accidents.
And what was the accident? Among the five referees present, there were only Mrs. Maxim and the mastermind who didn't know whether they were hidden among the referees, and knew the reason.
After learning the news, the expressions on the faces of the four referees in the conference room also had similarities and differences.
Mrs. Maxim, who knew the most, pursed her lips from beginning to end, and had no intention of expressing her opinion.
But sometimes her eyes couldn't help but glance at the direction where Sherlock was. Until now, she still couldn't figure out what kind of techniques this young man used to solve the four crazy fire dragons at once.
Bagman showed enough surprise, he pondered.
"After restarting the Triple Triple Championship this time, we did have many surprises, choosing more Porter, and now we have to face the postponement of the first match event or choosing a seemingly feasible alternative. I actually prefer the backup option Dumbledore said. Now there are many eyes in the magic world looking at this Triple Triple Championship. If the first match event is postponed, it will be difficult to leave a good impression for others, and we can safely complete all the events in this semester."
After he finished speaking, Crouch's words remained short.
"I agree with the method Dumbledore said, just like what Ludo thinks."
"I have no objection, either." Mrs. Maxim said so.
All three of them expressed their attitude, leaving only one Kakarov, who, normally, was the one who was most likely to refuse.
But this time he seemed to know that even if he refused, his attitude was no longer important under the circumstances of 4 : 1. He didn't say anything more, but just nodded calmly.
"Since you all said that, it doesn't matter what I think. As long as I can ensure that the competition in the first event is still fair, I have no objection."
"Thank you for your understanding," Dumbledore said with a smile.
This meeting was obviously about to end here, and just as all the referees stood up from their seats, Crouch's robe, who was at the edge, suddenly felt as if he had consciousness as if he had a general upward movement!
Not only the robe he wore outside, but also the sweater and shirt inside were all lifted up, and at this moment, Crouch's upper body was exposed.
Because the accident happened too quickly, not only did Crouch himself not react, but others did not react immediately.
Sherlock had been reminded before, Moody, who had always stared at Crouch's back, but he did not see any scars on the exposed skin.
"What's going on?" Crouch looked a little angry and pulled down his robe and sweater.
"Sorry, Mr. Crouch, it's my fault."
Sherlock, who was pretending to be fiddling inside in front of the bookcase next to him, was left with information at some time, and said apologetically.
"I want to sort it out here, but it seems that the spell casting skills are a little bad. I originally wanted to use magic to get the book beside you, but it accidentally affected your clothes. I am very sorry for this, sir."
Crouch's face looked very bad, and he threw a cold sentence at Sherlock.
"As a professor at this school, you really need to hone your bad magic skills, Mr. Forrest."
After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned around and walked out of the conference room. The others did not see anything wrong, but thought that this was indeed Sherlock's mistake, and they all left here one by one.
In the end, the only ones left in the meeting were Moody, Sherlock and Dumbledore.
After everyone left, the door of the conference room was locked to death again.
"No, I didn't see any obvious scars from Old Bati's back." Moody said with a frown.
Sherlock touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
"The spell of Shenfeng Wuying is very strong, but we cannot rule out that even without the curse being solved, there are ways for someone to heal the wounds I caused overnight."
