And the card he is currently distributing the introduction represents the division of labor between the detective agency and this case.

"Next, let me talk about your roles in the detective agency. The first is the prophet, Luna." Harry sent the corresponding card to Luna, "Her main job is to find criminals, At the same time, I will also use my own ability to assist in the search for evidence."

"Hermione is a hunter, and she is responsible for integrating clues and looking up information; in addition, if the criminal dares to escape or resist, Hermione can also show her talents. After all, our Miss Granger is very good at fighting~"

"I came to be a doctor. In addition to basic reasoning, I am also responsible for identification and treatment. Of course, under special circumstances, I can also be responsible for poisoning."

In other words, it is inevitable to change the witch into a doctor. It is absolutely impossible for the role of a witch to appear in Harry's modified werewolf.

"After this is Will, you are just in the first grade, and you can't participate too much in the process of the case for the time being, so you will be the judge and be responsible for controlling our discussion process of the case. At the same time, in the game that will start later, you must first It's up to you to play the judge."

"Harry, what about me?" Seeing that he was the only one left in the end, Colin raised his hand impatiently and asked.

"I was just talking about you," Harry smiled and handed Colin a card, "Because there are only three clergy cards for the time being, so...you are a commoner~"

"Ah?" Colin's face collapsed, "Why do you all have such cool identities, but you have to be civilians when you come to me?!"

"Because it is impossible to have more priesthoods in a six-player field, and other identity cards are not suitable for you." Harry patted Colin on the shoulder, pretending to say earnestly, "Son, you can help everyone with peace of mind." Let's go~"

"Okay..." After all, it was the task assigned by the idol. Even if Colin felt unwilling, he could only accept his status as a 'civilian' in the detective agency.

"And then there is the client of this case, Mr. Filch, who needs our help in finding a roll of parchment that disappeared a few years ago."

Harry also gave Filch a card with the word 'client' written on it. This is purely the identity card of the case. If it is a game, Filch has just drawn the identity card.

"The last is Uncle Lupine, you are a witness." Harry put the last witness card in front of Lupine, "Mr. Filch said that the roll of parchment was confiscated from my father, so you You should know something, right?"

"That's not just parchment, but a map made by the four of us." Seeing Harry ask, Lupine's face also had a little more memory, "Its name is the Marauder's Map, and the map on it Enchanted by the four of us, as long as the correct password is spoken, the map can display the current location of everyone in Hogwarts Castle in real time. In order to successfully map it, we have traveled almost every corner of the castle. "

"So powerful?" Harry was startled when he heard the words, "So, if I got this map two years earlier, I would have found Weasley and Pettigrew right away?"

"I think so." Lupine nodded, pursing his lips.

Every time he mentioned that betrayer, his heart would become very heavy.

"Forget it, let's play a game first to relax. Just in the process of the game, we can also collect some information about the case."

Realizing that Lupine was in a bad mood, Harry turned around and motioned to Will, hoping to divert his attention with a game.

"Okay, please close your eyes when it gets dark." Will announced the start of the game knowingly.

From confirming the player's identity to announcing that the werewolf had begun to act, Will, who was a judge for the first time, was generally quite professional.

So, Lupine and Filch, who had drawn a wolf card at the same time, pointed at Harry at the same time...

In a game like this, it should be common sense to kill those who know how to play first at the beginning.

"Doctor, please open your eyes."

Harry's identity is still in his old profession, but when he opened his eyes, Will signaled that he was the one who died, so he rolled his eyes helplessly.

He had no choice but to save himself, or he could only leave his last words and stare blankly.

"Prophet please open your eyes."

Luna quietly opened those big eyes, and shot Lupin backhandedly.

"Dawn, yesterday was Christmas Eve."

"Hey, you guys who got the wolves are so ruthless. I'm the only one who knows how to play. You guys beat me? But... fortunately, I have medicine~" The first game didn't need to be too complicated, so Harry directly chose to reveal his identity .

But after that, he looked at Filch who was about to speak next: "Mr. Filch, do you still remember why you checked that drawer?"

"First of all, I'm just a commoner who doesn't know anything." Filch obviously got into the role quickly, and the liar didn't even bat an eye, "The reason I went to check that drawer... ah, I remembered Yes! Because there were two particularly troublesome students enrolled in that year, I confiscated many things from them since the beginning of the school year, and at the end of the year, because there were too many things, I wanted to make a special cabinet for them. I don’t remember the drawer Is there any of their stuff in it, so I opened it to check."

"No... that's right, I'm a commoner like Mr. Filch." Lupine followed Filch and continued to lie, "Besides, he should be talking about the Weasley brothers, they are indeed two very interesting children , is completely comparable to what the four of us had back then~"

His tone became lighter, and there was a little more smile on his face. It seemed that a proper game could really relax people.

But soon, he stopped laughing immediately.

"Professor Lupine is a werewolf."

Luna's tone was firm and without any waves, which directly made Lupine tremble all over with fright.

Immediately afterwards, she also shocked Filch: "There are two criminals who stole the Marauder's Map, and you have already mentioned it just now."

"You mean those two troublesome Weasleys?!"

At this moment, Filch was full of disbelief.

What did they investigate just now, how did they find out the criminal in seconds?

Chapter 290 Eight Stolen Items Can Be Recovered Without Searching

The criminals who stole the roll of parchment were actually two Weasleys, Fred and George?

This conclusion is not unacceptable to Filch, on the contrary, he also thinks it is quite reasonable, because those two guys can definitely do such a thing.

It's just that for him, the way of drawing conclusions is a bit too casual.

That little girl named Luna, what basis did she have to identify the criminal so easily?

Hmm...Mr. Filch obviously didn't know that Luna didn't need evidence at all.

"Mr. Filch, this is the case-handling routine of our detective agency, you have to get used to it slowly." Harry smiled and explained to Filch, "Different from ordinary detectives, we always guess blindly first. Who is the criminal, and then the evidence is collected around the criminal. Luna's identification of the criminal is basically infallible, as long as she is there, we can completely deduce the process from the result."

The daily contact so far, and most importantly, the previous trip to France, gave Harry a deeper understanding of Luna's abilities.

It is no exaggeration to say that if she really wants to become a detective with her predictions that are so accurate that they are mysterious, she will definitely make all her colleagues lose their jobs.

Therefore, in order to give full play to her advantage, Harry thought of using the werewolf killing game to collect case information.

As the people participating in the game continue to provide clues, Luna's understanding of the case will gradually deepen, and when her intuition reaches a certain critical point, she is likely to find the criminal in a flash.

In other words, when I was watching a live-action drama in a theme park in France, the criminal who stole famous paintings was recognized by Luna at the beginning of the scene~

The 'culprits' in Filch's case were also relatively easy to guess, they were both killed by Luna before they even survived a round of the game.

"Now that we know it's the two of them, let's restore the details of the crime...Although I don't think there is anything to restore." Harry looked at Filch again, "Because these two brothers often commit crimes, Filch Mr. always took them to his office to teach them, so they discovered the drawer containing dangerous confiscated items, and then they wanted to steal."

"However, with Mr. Filch's vigilance and Mrs. Norris helping to guard them, unless they completely attract your attention, they have no chance of successfully stealing it." Hermione on the side took the conversation, "Therefore, The Weasley brothers who have always been inseparable must have separated, and one of them will take the initiative to make trouble to divert attention, and the other can wait for the opportunity to commit crimes and successfully steal the Marauder's Map."

"Uh... that seems to be the case." Filch seemed to remember something when he heard this, and a trace of sullenness appeared on his face.

"These two troublesome ghosts have always acted at the same time, but when they first entered school, it seemed that once, I caught one of them throwing a dung egg in the corridor. That time it was almost like giving me It exploded, because just before that, the two of them had just teamed up to throw a dung egg! God knows how long it took me to clean up before I barely emptied the smell of the entire corridor!!"

"So everything is clear," Harry concluded, "Brother Weasleys were brought into this office when they released a dung egg in the corridor in their first year, and saw the confiscated items drawer; after which one of them released a dung egg, which attracted the attention of Mr. Filch and Mrs. Norris, while the other snuck in and stole the Marauder's Map."

consternation.

After this concluding statement, not to mention Filch, even the rest of Lupine, Colin and Will also showed expressions of astonishment!

Luna answered in seconds, and then Harry reasoned and Hermione added that the three smartest heads in the whole school tried their hand at it, and restored all the details of the crime with ease.

And it actually really deduces the process backwards from the result!

"We can now find a way to get the Marauder's Map back. As for this game..."

"Mr. Filch is also a wolf." Before Harry could finish speaking, Luna threw a check at Filch.

"Luna... the next time you draw a prophet, can you take the initiative to change your identity?" Hermione put her hand on her forehead speechlessly, "I haven't spoken to Colin yet, the game is over, this experience It must be too bad!"

My experience is the worst... Lu Ping lamented in his heart that he had no love in his life.

If this goes on like this, sooner or later he will be frightened by Harry and other children to suffer from diseases other than phalanx~

"If the thieves are the two senior Weasleys, I can enter the Gryffindor lounge and search, maybe I can find the map."

After the game was over, Colin thought about it and felt that he should be able to help, after all, he was the only student of Gryffindor here.

"Don't bother, you just need to tell us the fat lady's password." Harry shook his head and rejected Colin's proposal, "If people in Gryffindor know that you searched the Weasley brothers' things, they will definitely have a big opinion of you."

Although the Weasley brothers often mess around, they are very popular in Gryffindor because of their lively and enthusiastic temperament and their status as Quidditch players... So once the lions know that Colin dared to 'betray' them, This kid could be ostracized for years to come.

After all, there's a saying... You did the right thing, but luckily I'm not your friend.

"Mr. Filch, let's go to the Gryffindor lounge. There is no need to conduct any searches. As long as the fat lady is willing to open the door, I should be able to find the map."

Today was the weekend, and Gryffindor was currently having special Quidditch training. Harry thought about it and thought that the Weasley brothers would not carry the Marauder's Map with them all the time.

So, he and Filch came to the door of the Gryffindor common room, and told the fat lady the password provided by Colin.

"A lucky star is shining."

"The password is correct, but you are not a student of Gryffindor." The fat lady in the portrait expressed hesitation in a high-pitched and beautiful voice.

"I lost something and suspected it was hidden in the Gryffindor dormitory, so I came to investigate." Filch said to the fat lady gloomily, "Don't worry about it, you just need to open the door. "

"This... well, but don't mess up the students' things." The fat lady struggled for a while, and finally opened the door obediently.

"We're not going to rummage, and we don't intend to go in." Harry shook his head and waved his wand at the same time, "Here comes the Marauder's Map!"

Whoosh!

A moment later, under the surprised eyes of the fat lady, a roll of parchment flew quickly from the direction of the boys' dormitory, and fell straight into Harry's hands.

By the way, with the Flying Curse, why would Harry need to search the dormitory himself?

Chapter 290 IX A Specter Shouldn't Appear In School

Looking at the Marauder's Map that he had easily summoned into his hand, Harry couldn't help feeling in his heart...the reason why wizards lack logical thinking ability is not without reason.

Taking this case investigation as an example, Luna can immediately know who the criminal is by just rolling her eyes; and the process of searching for evidence can be completely omitted, and it can be done by simply saying "fly them all".

Always using this simple and crude method, after a long time, wizards will naturally be unwilling to analyze the logic and process step by step.

But the complaints belong to the complaints, the summoning spell is really cool to use.

As long as you can concentrate your mind and clearly imagine the appearance of this object, you can call it to your side through a spell... In Harry's view, this spell is simply a bug.

Just imagine, when Harry was in the cabin in the Forbidden Forest, he yelled "Hermione is here", at that time, maybe a beautiful girl fell from the sky and fell directly into his arms, and then hehehe...

Uh... In short, the summoning spell must not only have such strange uses, it is definitely a must-have spell for traveling at home and stealing.

"The thing has been found, thank you for your cooperation, Fat Lady." After successfully obtaining the Marauder's Map, Harry smiled and nodded to the Fat Lady to express his gratitude.

However, he did not put away the 'stolen items', but handed them over to Filch: "Mr. Filch, this thing can now be returned to its original owner."

"Forget it, you just keep it for yourself." However, Filch pushed the map back again, "I just need to know who stole this thing, I didn't say I have to get it back. You two troublemakers, it's best not to fall into my hands before they graduate!"

Just kidding, this little bastard's eyes can't wait to grow on the map, return them to their original owners?

I believe in you

"Then I won't be polite." Sure enough, Harry pulled his hand back immediately.

He was just putting on a show, and never thought of returning this thing to Filch.

When it came, Lupine had already told Harry the features of the Marauder's Map and how to use it in detail. How could such a super easy-to-use 'Hogwarts Campus GPS' continue to be thrown away in a drawer? Of course It is to play a role in your own hands.

Thinking of this, on the way back to the caretaker's cottage, Harry waved his wand casually at the map.

"I solemnly declare that I have done nothing wrong... What kind of broken spell is this~"

"This spell is very in line with your father's style," Filch also spit on the sidelines, "a group of troublemakers who don't do good things."

In fact, it can't be blamed for Harry and Filch's partnership, after all, it can be seen from this map that his father and Lupine, the four robbers, must have been quite lawless in school back then.

It was also because of this that Filch finally confiscated this map.

But the situation is different with Harry. Not only can he use this map, but he can also openly use it in front of the administrator Filch.

Therefore, this incident tells us a truth: breaking the law and breaking the rules can only be done for a while.

Only by working hard to become a privileged class, and eventually override the rules, and even become the rule-makers, can you truly experience the pleasure of doing whatever you want~

With a light touch of the wand, ink lines like spider webs began to appear on the Marauder's Map, and gradually merged and extended, outlining an extremely accurate map of Hogwarts Castle on the parchment.

At the same time, a line of curved green writing appeared on the top of the parchment.

'Gentlemen of Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, suppliers of aids to makers of magical mischief, proudly present the Marauder's Map. '

"Heh, father and the others are really amazing. Not only have they explored the entire castle in such detail, but they can also cast such a brilliant human presence spell. It's unbelievable~"

Carefully observing the Marauder's Map in his hand, Harry once again had a new understanding of the strength of his father.

They found out almost every detail of Hogwarts Castle, except for the Room of Requirement and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, there was basically nothing missing, and they added several things that even Filch didn't know about. Secret passages.

The other is the Human Tracking Charm used to track all creatures in the castle. If Lupine hadn't told Harry the principle of making this map in advance, he wouldn't even know there was such a powerful tracking spell.
