Chapter 167 Eddie Butler

Sherlock did not move, and directly used control magic to open the door of the guest room.

He looked at the black-haired young man who came in, with a little playfulness in his eyes.

"Why did you come back to find me when you didn't run away at this time?"

This Auror suspected to be named "Eddie" could have fled far away in the chaotic scene just now. Since he didn't want to go back to the Ministry of Magic, then walking northwest meant that there were other places to go.

But at such a good opportunity, he not only did not leave, but returned to find himself.

This was really a bit beyond Sherlock's expectations.

The black-haired young man did not answer Sherlock's question immediately, but stared at the position of his chest and asked without blinking.

"Have you met Amy?"

Sherlock's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked down along the black-haired young man's gaze and found that he had been staring at the amulet that Amy lent him before he separated from him since he entered the door.

After a brief surprise, Sherlock's thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then he asked in a deep voice.

"Your name is Eddie Butler?"

The black-haired young man was very surprised that he could call out his name directly.

"Amy told you what my name is?"

His answer was basically equivalent to admitting in disguise that Sherlock was right.

"No, I just happened to know that the Ministry of Magic was looking for a wizard named Eddie, and the Death Eaters were also looking for someone named Butler." Sherlock stared at him, "They should be looking for the same person, and that person is you."

The black-haired young man named Eddie looked at Sherlock for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"People who can make Amy trust are really not ordinary characters."

Then he asked seriously.

"How is Amy now? Did you come to this city specifically to help Amy find me?"

Sherlock shook his head and said.

"No, I just came here to deal with some other things. I didn't expect to meet Amy's father here at first. Amy is still in the Leaky Cauldron, and my friends are helping to look after her."

After learning that there was no problem with Amy's current situation, Eddie suddenly said with a serious face.

"It may be a little abrupt, but I still want to ask you for a favor."

Sherlock looked at him strangely.

"We just met for less than a minute, you don't even know my name yet?"

Eddie said quickly.

"Since Amy gave you the amulet I gave her, it means she trusts you. I have no doubts about the person she can trust."

If you listen to his words normally, it is very unreasonable, but Amy's talent is very abnormal, so it is understandable that a father trusts his daughter who is not even seven years old.

Eddie said, looking out the window.

At this time, there were constant explosions and screams on the street outside. The Muggle Exorcist he used before could only have some effect on the space in this hotel, and now the Death Eaters are attacking the entire street.

"My time is running out, this..."

"Just call me John."

"Okay, John." Eddie said with a frown, "Although it is very presumptuous, I can only ask you to help me in this situation. I want you to go to the Ministry of Magic for me and find the current Director of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Selwyn. Tell her that Stryker was killed and the Death Eaters got the secret of Door No. 7 of the Department of Mysteries from her head!"

"Why can't you go back by yourself? Even if the Ministry of Magic now misunderstands that you have joined the Dark Lord's side, you can explain it by accepting the investigation after returning, and you can also get rid of the pursuit of the Death Eaters."

Sherlock said puzzledly.

Just as he asked the question, there were suddenly more than a dozen sonic booms in the sky like whips hitting the air, and Moody's angry voice also sounded in the chaos and screams.

"Stop them quickly! Don't let the chaos spread! Block this street! Otherwise, the Statute of Secrecy will become a dead letter!"

"Old cripple! I remember you!" Bella's sharp voice was extremely harsh, "Avada Kedavra!"

"Fainted!"

"..."

The Aurors had obviously come into contact with the Death Eaters at this time. This was the opportunity Sherlock had been waiting for all the way to Sheffield.

But he was not impatient, but waited for Eddie to finish his words.

"You should know that there was an attack in Wales a month ago, and four Aurors were killed by Death Eaters." Eddie breathed quickly and spoke quickly, "I was one of them in that operation at that time. There were a total of ten Aurors on the scene, that is, two Auror teams. I was the captain of one of the teams, and the four Aurors who died were all my men!"

Sherlock frowned slightly and listened quietly.

"That operation was because the former head of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Cider, was attacked by Death Eaters. She asked for help from magic, and the Ministry sent us there. But they seemed to know in advance when we would come and where we would appear after we arrived."

"We had just arrived near Mrs. Cider's house, and we were attacked by Death Eaters who had been lying in ambush here for a long time! Two of my men died on the spot, and in the following battle, I was separated from the other seven people."

"After getting rid of the two Death Eaters who were chasing me, I returned to Mrs. Cider's residence. The Death Eaters had left there, and Mrs. Cider was dying. She told me that the Dark Lord's followers gave her a lot of truth serum to drink, and she knew about the secret behind the door No. 7 of the Department of Mysteries. "I was told to inform the current Director of the Department of Affairs, Mrs. Selwyn, as soon as possible, otherwise the Dark Lord will gain power that no one can stop!"

"I wanted to take Mrs. Sedley with me to escape, but she was already on her last breath. After telling me this most important news, she died completely!"

"At this time, the Death Eaters also found me again, and they continued to hunt me down. I was injured in the subsequent battle, and my body could not withstand long-distance Apparition, so I could only flee to London from city to city."

"Just when I had fled to Luton and was about to reach the Ministry of Magic, I heard the news from the Ministry of Magic!"

Eddie's face was gloomy, like the water in the Black Lake.

"After the others got separated, the other two people in my team also died. Now I am the only one left in the Auror team I led! But all the members of the other team survived!"

"Among those who returned to the Ministry of Magic, some said that I was a traitor, informed the Death Eaters of the Ministry's plan in advance, and used my power to kill my teammates! Because this is a huge scandal, the Ministry of Magic did not spread the news, but privately asked the Aurors to hunt me down, and even issued an order to kill me!"

Sherlock thought of the whereabouts of the Death Eaters he had studied for the past month, who had repeatedly committed crimes and appeared, which completely matched Eddie's statement.

From Wales to London, and then suddenly changed direction in Luton, and finally came to Sheffield!

"Just based on the one-sided statements of those who escaped, the Ministry of Magic judged you guilty, and didn't even follow the procedure of arresting you for interrogation?" Sherlock asked with a frown.

Eddie sneered.

"There are a lot of things involved here. The traitor is definitely not just an ordinary Auror. Do you know the identities of those people in the other Auror team? The son of a director, the nephews and nieces of three department heads, and the direct descendant of a former Minister of Magic!"

"Are they all pure-blooded?"

"Five people, five pure-blooded! That team is specially organized! Before carrying out this mission, they have never carried out any missions against Death Eaters! Now the Auror Command is the department that is easiest to mix up qualifications. Those officials need to gild their descendants, but at the same time don't want them to be in danger!"

Eddie's face was full of ferocity: "I should have thought of it earlier! Why are these pampered young masters who were well protected before suddenly sent to carry out such a mission? Task! "Someone is calculated at the beginning!" "I can't go back to the Ministry of Magic again! Come out and create conditions for the traitor! "" So someone must go back and notify this news to Mrs. Ceerwin! Promoting. "I need your help, John, although I don't know anything behind Gate 7, it must be very important! The current action of the Death Eaters is directly issued by the black devil head, that is, the black devil head itself!" Helping the Aurors to fight the Death Eaters only gives him a chance to join the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic. If he wants to get involved with the Department of Mysteries, he will have to go through more trouble later.

Eddie's request allows him to deal directly with the Department of Mysteries and meet the current Director of the Department of Mysteries.

In addition, he is Amy's father, and the situation in the Ministry of Magic is more critical than it looks here.

Whether it is for public or private reasons, Sherlock has enough reasons to make a choice.

He stared at Eddie's nervous eyes.

"Tell me, how can I find Mrs. Selwyn in the Ministry of Magic?"
