Everyday Players at Hogwarts

Chapter 508 Detective Ryan

Ministry of Magic employee dies in an accident. St. Mungo's Hospital promised last night to conduct a full investigation into the death of Ministry of Magic employee Broderick Bode.

Mr. Bode, 49, was strangled to death by a potted plant on his bed, and the therapist failed to save him.

Mr. Bode was injured in a work accident a few weeks ago.

Meliam Straw, the therapist in charge of Mr. Bode's ward at the time of the accident, was suspended with pay and did not accept interviews.

In Ryan's mind palace, the book with the words "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" turned to the page "Chapter 25 Helpless Beetle" without wind.

Just now, when Ryan lamented that the wizard who talked to himself was still in the closed ward two years later, his subconscious sea inexplicably rippled.

He realized that the wizard who talked to himself was Broderick Bode.

He was injured in a work accident two years later.

Then he died "accidentally" on Christmas.

The murder weapon was a bedside plant, disguised as a devil's snare of Christmas cactus.

It also had another identity, a Christmas gift.

After Broderick Bode's language and mobility were almost restored, therapist Straw encouraged him to take care of the plant himself.

The result was that the recovering Bode was strangled to death as soon as he touched it.

What's more interesting is that in the original world line, when Harry Potter and his friends came to visit Arthur Weasley, they happened to meet an old wizard with a trumpet-shaped hearing aid who came to visit Bode who was abandoned by his family.

Even the plant was delivered to Bode's bedside in front of them.

This was an obvious assassination.

To outsiders, Broderick Bode was an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic who was also abandoned by his family.

But in fact, he belonged to the most mysterious Department of Mysteries.

In the original world line, he was injured by the Death Eaters at the end of 1995, and he lost the ability to speak and thought he was a teapot.

But even so, he was sent to the Devil's Snare and assassinated without knowing whether he had recovered.

In this world, Voldemort and his last Death Eaters are in Azkaban.

The Ministry of Magic's Death Eaters have long been eliminated and killed.

But even if there are still Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, the reason why Bode was injured - the prophecy ball containing the complete savior prophecy has not become Voldemort's target.

Bode's attack two years earlier must be related to the recent changes in the Ministry of Magic.

Because combined with the changes in the two world lines, the only common point in his attack is the change in the Ministry of Magic.

So, in the original world line, even if there are no Death Eaters, as long as there are major changes in the Ministry of Magic, he will also be attacked.

However, now we have to confirm one thing first.

"Your name is Meliam Straw, right?" Ryan asked casually in a relaxed tone just one second after the real world.

"Yes, how do you know my name?" Straw, who was looking forward to Ryan's magic to rescue the Longbottom couple, blinked in confusion.

Ryan waved his hand, took out a pair of black-framed plain glasses from the air, put them on, and his hair turned black.

He also changed his clothes to a blue suit, shorts, and a red bow tie.

"Nothing, I just found something more interesting." He adjusted the frame of his glasses. The mirror surface glowed white.

"You are--" Straw felt something was wrong.

Could it be that this magic needed to rely on the legends of the Muggle world?

What was even more strange was that she inexplicably felt that this was the dress of a detective.

But how could there be a detective dressed like a seven or eight-year-old child.

And what is a detective?

"Edo River Conan? Death God Elementary School Student?" Kate, who had played the game of solving cases in the mind game, exclaimed when Straw's therapist was thinking wildly.

"Death God? Is it a Muggle legend in the United States?

Well, only in the stories of Americans with a short history does the Death God look like this." Straw thought.

Ryan waved his wand casually into the floral curtain, "Mr. and Mrs. Frank have been cured. They will wake up and regain their sanity in an hour.

The focus now is on another matter.

As a famous detective, I need to solve the problem."

"Ahem, what did you say?" Straw couldn't believe her ears.

She saw Ryan wave his wand.

No magic beam was seen.

And Kate was very knowledgeable and didn't say anything.

Ryan's outfit represented the atmosphere of the case.

But who was the victim?

And the murderer.

Kate began to observe the whole room carefully.

"Well, that's because you don't understand the principle that great sounds are silent and great elephants are invisible.

Strau, why did Broderick Bode enter the hospital?

Which department does he work in at the Ministry of Magic?"

"He was hit by the backfire of the wand in his hand while working, and finally lost the ability to speak, thinking he was a teapot.

He is a beater."

"Wrong! This is a murder case!

He was murdered on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic - the brain room of the Department of Mysteries.

He is not a beater, and he has no family. He was hired to study the most mysterious organ in the human body - the brain.

And a murder case in a closed room is about to happen here."

"Murder? Are you mistaken?" Strau was frightened and took a few steps back.

"Kate, go check the pillow and use my vision."

"Really, what is this?" Kate, with silver eyes, tore open the pillow with her hands and took out a black button from the cotton.

"This contains a curse that makes people lose their voice and die.

Not bad, it seems that the recent crackdown has made the murderer's methods much more sophisticated.

That's right, what is the devil's snare." Ryan looked at the button with satisfaction.

"Mr. Smith, I didn't put this there. All our tools are produced by your factory." Straw looked at Ryan in panic.

"Okay, the murderer is an old wizard with a trumpet-shaped hearing aid.

He came to visit poor Bode the day before yesterday.

Just give this matter and this button to the dean and say that I ordered it.

The evidence is in the old man's wand.

Just use a flashback spell on his wand." Ryan's silver eyes flashed with a golden clock.

Therapist Straw couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

It seemed to be able to see through everything.

He was clearly standing in this room, but he saw the wand of an old wizard who didn't even know where it was a few days ago.

"By the way, I almost forgot one thing."

"What is it?"

"Notify Augusta Longbottom and tell her that her son and daughter-in-law are fine." Ryan took off his glasses.

The outfit just now was restored to its original state.

"That's it?

Why was that Bode attacked?

And why didn't you tell Neville directly?" Kate raised her head and asked after the therapist Straw hurried out the door.

Thank you! Long live! I still found a way to recover unsaved files in wps!
