a certain scientific harry potter

Harry accidentally missed it, and Luna had already run to several jugglers, but when he was about to take Hermione to look for it, the whole street suddenly became extremely noisy.

"The float is coming!"

Someone suddenly yelled, and the crowd who were still reveling just now rushed to both sides of the street.

The crowded crowd seemed to form a human wall in front of Harry, completely blocking his sight of looking for Luna. He could only hold Hermione's hand tightly, trying his best to move forward in the surging crowd.

"Two little devils, pay attention to the road." While pushing and shoving, Harry accidentally bumped into a passerby.

The other party was a male wizard wearing a long black cloak, and Harry couldn't see his face clearly because of the hood.

"Sorry, I left in a hurry." Harry didn't want to cause trouble, so he took the initiative to give in.

"Hmph." The male wizard snorted coldly, took a few steps to the side, and chose a good position where he could watch the floats.

And even after such a delay, when Harry turned around and wanted to meet Luna across the street, the dancers leading the float had already entered the block in circles.

"It seems that we can only wait for the float to pass by."

Everyone in the street gave way to the main road, so Harry couldn't possibly ram the float in front of everyone... although it's not like he hasn't done this before~

Anyway, Luna should be across the street, and Harry felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he put his arms around Hermione and enjoyed the fireworks in this foreign country with her.

Bang!

The real grand event has begun, and countless fireworks are scattered in the sky, reflecting the night sky with colorful lights.

The float dragged by pure white horses moves forward slowly under the guidance of the dancers. There are wizards on the float who specialize in setting off fireworks. Ignite and manipulate the flames to create various shapes.

Reflecting the glowing red flames, many people around began to cheer excitedly, and even hugged and kissed passionately... Affected by this scene, Harry and Hermione's heartbeats seemed to start to fluctuate.

So, he gently put his arms around Hermione's waist, and slowly moved his face closer.

Bang!

"Harry..." The fireworks exploded, and Hermione moaned softly, closing her eyes a little shyly...

boom! !

However, just as the two were about to touch their lips, another crisp sound suddenly shocked Harry.

He hurriedly turned around and looked around, but he didn't find anything unusual.

But Harry felt that he heard it right. The sound just now was definitely not the sound of fireworks exploding, but...

gunfire! !

Chapter 250 A Burned Corpse Doesn't Have to Be Burned to Death

"Harry... what's wrong?"

Not waiting for the expected touch, Hermione couldn't help but opened her eyes in doubt, but what caught her eyes was Harry's serious and vigilant expression.

"Something may have happened, you must stay close to me." Harry commanded in a deep voice, "We will meet Luna immediately after the float parade is over."

Just now, the sharp-eyed Harry had seen Luna across the street through the gap of the float, and the latter also spotted Harry and waved at Harry.

Now that she was sure she was safe, Harry wasn't too worried.

The question now was whether the sound he had just heard was actually a gunshot.

And, if it was really a gunshot, where did the bullet hit!

"Huh? That person..."

Harry roughly recalled the direction from which the sound came from, and he looked to his side, only to inadvertently catch a glimpse of the cloaked wizard he had just bumped into.

His attention was immediately attracted by this mysterious guy who had been staring at the float. After all, a guy like him who was dressed in black from head to toe would definitely be the first person to be suspected as long as he appeared at the scene of the crime...

"problem occurs!"

"Why are people missing?"

There seemed to be some commotion across the street, and a small area of ​​the crowd suddenly burst into exclamations for no apparent reason.

boom! !

Suddenly, the flames on a float shot up into the sky strangely, as if the fierce flames in the mouth of a fire dragon suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames above the float!

The steed that was in charge of pulling the cart had its tail burnt off, and was frightened and rushed across the road, causing the entire convoy to turn over.

At this moment, the wizard who was supposed to be in charge of setting off the fireworks could only wave his magic wand in vain, but he couldn't do anything about the weird flames in front of him, and finally had no choice but to jump off the float and let the flames unscrupulously show off.

"Then... what is that?"

"It seems to be a person!!"

But at this moment, the onlookers were shocked to find that a strange figure appeared in the burning flames!

His body stood upright, his hands were stretched out to the sides, and he slowly floated into the air like a cross. The fierce burning flames coiled upwards like a fierce snake, burning him into a burning man almost instantly!

Bang!

Soon, the burning body seemed to lose its support, and he was thrown from the air to the ground like a rag bag by some kind of force, immediately throwing up a cloud of fly ash that spread everywhere.

"Ah!" *N

And when the flaming Pyroman landed on the ground, the onlookers who had been watching the excitement before finally screamed in panic, crowded and shoved to leave the place, and the whole battlefield was extremely chaotic for a while.

"Calm down, stay where you are and don't run around! Calm down... Calm down!!"

The bright signal spell exploded quickly after lift-off, and at the same time, an angry roar swept the audience under the effect of the loud spell. The rioting crowd at the scene was shocked by the sound, and it took a lot of effort to finally stabilize. .

"I am Auror Covus Lestrange from the Ministry of Magic. No one here is allowed to move. All of you stay where you are, and no one is allowed to leave!"

The one who stopped the commotion in the crowd was Cobos whom Harry had just met. He was holding a wand to watch his surroundings. Beside him was a pile of shattered glass and a cane that fell to the ground.

"Cobos, it's over...he was burned to death."

At this time, more than a dozen armed wizards rushed out from all over the crowd at the same time. They should also be Aurors who acted together with Cobos, and soon completely controlled the scene.

One of the Aurors shook his head regretfully at Cobos after inspecting the flame-burned corpse.

"Damn! You guys go to block all the entrances and exits around, and the rest will investigate the scene with me...An anti-apparition spell has been cast on Hidden Street, that guy will definitely not be able to escape!!"

Cobos gritted his teeth and gave the order, and the Aurors he brought also acted at the same time. A group of people began to disperse to guard the entrance of the hidden street, while the rest began to question the wizards who stayed at the scene.

"Mr. Lestrange, may I ask if this is the case?" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Harry, who had joined Luna, finally had a chance to ask about the situation.

"Harry, aren't you scared?" Cobos grinned reluctantly, showing an ugly smile, "As you can see, a murder case just happened here, you better not ask more questions."

"I think we might be able to help." Harry shook his head earnestly, "For a case like this that happened in a complicated environment, it is the least efficient way to directly question all the suspects, because the murderer has most likely already taken advantage of the situation." The chaos has left the scene. So what you should do now is to send more people to the entrances and exits, and try to completely block the entire hidden street in the shortest possible time!"

"Here... you guys, hurry over to support them too."

Cobos was stunned for a moment, but then he came back to his senses immediately, and sent a few more people to support everywhere, leaving only two deputies on the scene.

After that, he couldn't help looking at Harry with a little more surprise.

He didn't expect Harry to be so calm. Even when he saw a burning corpse, he didn't panic. Instead, he calmly helped him analyze the case.

And the two girls next to him seemed to be very relaxed. Although they didn't dare to look directly at the corpse, there was no fear in their expressions.

What have these three children experienced before...

"Harry, what do you think we should do next?"

The episode just now allowed Cobos to see Harry's ability, so he also began to seek Harry's opinion, hoping that the other party could provide him with some ideas.

"There were a lot of people at the scene, and their words can't be counted. Therefore, we can only let the corpse tell the truth now!" Harry raised his finger to the charred corpse not far away, and his words showed undoubted confidence!

This is his area of ​​expertise, he definitely...

"Let the corpse talk...Harry, don't you mean to use some kind of black magic? Let me tell you that this is absolutely impossible, do you know that?!"

Who knew, after hearing Harry's words, Cobos suddenly turned pale with fright.

Harry: (?-?*)

Good guy, your imagination is really rich enough. Emotions let the corpse talk, is that what I mean by using black magic to resurrect the corpse?

Besides, your Lestrange family started out with black magic, even if I really want to use black magic, you are afraid of being a mess here~

"Mr. Lestrange, you have completely misunderstood." Harry rolled his eyes helplessly. "The so-called letting the corpse speak means that we will conduct an autopsy to determine the specific cause of death of the deceased and other details of the case."

"Cause of death? Isn't that..."

"He wasn't burned to death." Harry shook his head, rejecting the previous judgment of the Aurors. "From the moment he appeared in the flames to the time he was thrown on the ground, the period didn't last too long. A normal person, In such a short period of time, he would not die due to suffocation shock. What's more, when the flames went out, his clothes were not completely burned, which shows that pure burning is not fatal. So the conclusion is ...he was dead before he was thrown into the float!"

"He died before this? Impossible...absolutely impossible!"

Hearing Harry's words, Covers' eyes widened in disbelief.

"Harry, I admit that what you said has some truth, but it is simply impossible."

Regarding Harry's conclusion, Cobos made a negative opinion: "This deceased...I have always stood with him and protected him closely. Unless he died the moment he was thrown into the float, how could I Can't find it?"

"He's right, they were indeed standing together before." Luna on the side suddenly said, "I just saw that he was watching the float parade with an old man. That old man was holding a A crystal ball, and he was still leaning on a cane. It’s just that when the fireworks exploded, the grandfather’s crystal ball also shattered, and then he disappeared suddenly.”

"Yeah, when the crystal ball shattered, I started to be wary of my surroundings, and then he disappeared strangely beside me." Cobos's voice contained deep regret, "When he appears again, It's already the... dead person on the float."

"disappear suddenly…"

Harry glanced at the crystal ball and cane scattered on the ground. With a slight thought, he hurried to the wreckage and carefully searched among the piles of broken glass with his wand.

"Sure enough... found it!"

Among the debris of the crystal ball, Harry found a slightly deformed bullet.

After he raised the warhead with the Levitation Charm, he presented it to Cobos.

"This is..." Cobos couldn't help being taken aback when he saw this.

"Pistol bullets, and this should be just one of them." Harry said indifferently, "Obviously, the murderer used a gun to shoot and kill the important person you wanted to protect. He fired at least two shots, one of which shattered The crystal ball also caused you to be vigilant about your surroundings; while the other shot took this opportunity to kill you directly."

"Pistol? But...I obviously cast the Iron Armor Curse on him!" Cobos said in amazement.

"The issue of how the pistol bullets break the shield is not the main point we should be concerned about now." Harry shook his head, and raised his finger to the charred corpse not far away, "What we have to do now is to clean up the remaining clothes on the dead body, see Can you find any obvious bullet holes."

"Go check the body again."

Cobos called an assistant to remove the deceased's clothes, while Harry just watched silently, and did not act directly on his behalf.

He left the interspatial ring at Nicole Flamel's house, so he didn't have tools suitable for autopsy. Besides, it was just checking a bullet hole anyway, so there was no need for him to join in the fun...

"Look... found it!" The Auror checked the corpse again, and found a scorched black hole on the left chest of the corpse!

hum!

But in the next instant, the corpse that had been scorched by the flames suddenly shriveled up, and then countless buzzing flying insects flew out from the mouth, nose and bullet holes of the corpse, turning into a sudden cloud in the air. The black torrent that gathers and disperses!

"Uh...Help!!" The Auror who went to check the corpse was surrounded by flies and insects that fell suddenly, and before he could even use the spell, he fell limply.

"Is it a fly? Hermione, help!" Harry was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly asked Hermione to take out his wand together.

"Blazing flames!!"*2

The power of the magic wand of the same origin was revealed again, and the two rushing flames intertwined into a huge burning net, burning all the flies and insects in an instant.

"What a terrible curse..."

Looking at the flies flying in the flames, Harry couldn't help feeling a little scared at the moment.

"That Auror, how is his injury?" Looking at the Auror who fell to the ground, Hermione asked worriedly.

"He... can't be saved anymore, and you must not touch his body rashly, otherwise you will also be cursed..."

Cobos said hoarsely, his face was extremely ugly at the moment, and his figure was also shaky, as if he would fall to the ground in the next second.

"It appeared... Sure enough, they really appeared..."

Cobos muttered some words that others could not understand, and his spirit suddenly became very trance, as if he had suffered a huge blow.

"No matter what happened, you can only keep your spirits up now!" Harry stepped forward to support Cobos, and squeezed his palm hard, "Your colleague is about to lose control of the scene, and There are also Aurors guarding the entrances and exits, they may encounter danger at any time!!"

"You said...the entrance?" Cobos woke up suddenly when he heard Harry's words.

"The shooter is about 180 centimeters tall, with a thin build, and he sounds like a middle-aged man, wearing a long black cloak. Of course, he may have changed his clothes now. This guy... should be wandering near a certain entrance and exit, ready to Wait for the opportunity to leave the hidden street!!"
