Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 508 Detective Ryan

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

Mr. Bode, 49, was strangled to death in his hospital bed by a potted plant, and the therapists were unable to save him.

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

Meliam Straw, the therapist in charge of Mr Bird's ward at the time of the incident, was suspended with pay and declined to be interviewed.

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

Just now, when Ryan lamented that the wizard who talked to himself was still in the closed ward two years later, the sea of ​​his subconsciousness inexplicably began to stir.

Only then did he realize that the wizard who was talking to himself was Broderick Bode.

That was originally due to an injury at work accident two years later.

Then he died 'accidentally' on Christmas Day.

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

It also has another identity, which is a Christmas gift.

After Broderick Bode's speech and mobility were almost fully recovered, Therapist Straw encouraged him to take care of the plant himself.

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

What’s even 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 pot of plant was delivered to Bode's bedside right before their eyes.

This was a clear assassination.

To outsiders, Broderick Bode is just an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic who has been abandoned by his family.

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

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

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

And now in this world line, Voldemort and his last Death Eaters are in Azkaban.

The Ministry's Death Eaters had long been eliminated and killed one by one.

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

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

Because combining the changes in the two world lines, the only common point in his attacks is the changes in the Ministry of Magic.

This means that in the original world line, even if there were no Death Eaters, he would still be attacked as long as there were major changes in the Ministry of Magic.

However, let's 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 casting magic to rescue the Longbottoms, 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 attire to a blue suit, shorts, and a red bow tie.

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

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

Could it be that this magic requires the help of legends from the Muggle world?

What was even stranger was that she inexplicably felt that this was the attire of a detective.

But there is no detective who dresses like a seven or eight-year-old child.

Also, what is a detective?
"Edogawa Konnan? The Elementary School Student of Death?" Kate, who had played the game of solving cases in mind games, exclaimed when Therapist Straus was daydreaming.

"Death? Is that a Muggle legend in America?
Well, only in the stories of Americans, who have a short history, does the Grim Reaper look like this," Straus thought.

Ryan waved his wand casually towards the floral curtains, "Mr. and Mrs. Frank have been cured. They will wake up and regain their sanity in an hour. Now the focus is on another matter.

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

"Ahem, what did you say?" Straus couldn't believe his ears.

She saw Ryan wave his wand.

No magic beam was seen.

Kate was tactful enough to remain silent.

Ryan's outfit represents the atmosphere of the case.

But who was the victim?
And there is the murderer.

Kate began to observe the entire room carefully.

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

Straw, why was Broderick Bode admitted to the hospital?
What department does he work for at the Ministry?"

"He was struck by a flashback from his wand while working, and ended up losing the ability to speak and thinking he was a teapot.

He’s a hitter.”

“Wrong! This is a murder case!
He was murdered on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic, in the Brain Room of the Department of Mysteries.

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

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

"Murder? Are you mistaken?" Straus took a few steps back in fear.

"Kate, go check the pillows, 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 will cause people to lose their voices and die.

Not a bad method. It seems that the recent crackdown has made the murderer's methods much more sophisticated.

That's right, what the hell is a 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.

"Well, the murderer is a doddering old wizard with a trumpet-shaped hearing aid.

He came to visit poor Bode the day before yesterday.

Just hand this matter and this button over to the dean and tell him that it was my order.

The proof is in the old man's wand.

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

Therapist Straus couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

It seemed as if it could see through everything.

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

"Oh, I almost forgot one thing."

"what's up?"

"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 also restored to its original state.

"That's it?
Why was Bode attacked?
And why didn't you just tell Neville?" Kate looked up and asked after Healer Straw hurried out the door.

Thanks! Hooray! I still found a way to recover unsaved files in wps!
