Chapter 167 The Big Killer
Chapter 167 The Big Killer
In the future, he plans to upgrade all the protective magic of this house. The security level of these Death Eaters is too low. Many places have not taken care of it, and there are a lot of loopholes.
After finishing the basement, the two returned to the second floor. The four Death Eaters were still unconscious at this moment. It seemed that Anduin's experiment had tormented them a lot.
Anduin took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and threw it to Karkaroff, "Go feed Torkiel and wake him up."
Karkaroff nodded respectfully after taking the potion, then helped him up, and then poured the potion into Torkiel's mouth very roughly, as if venting his anger.
"Cough, cough."
Accompanied by a severe cough, Tokiel gradually woke up. He only felt that his head was very painful, as if he had a terrible nightmare. He was caught by a little wizard who was still studying at Hogwarts, and he Torture was inflicted on him, and he was devastated both physically and mentally.
And just when he thought he had woken up from the dream, when he opened his eyes, it was still the young face that looked like a devil. What's going on, am I still in a dream?Or is everything that happened before that true?
Torkiel's pupils kept shrinking, and his mind kept falling into the self-doubt of dreams and reality. Maybe he would go crazy soon.
Anduin felt a little dissatisfied when he saw Torkiel standing there in a daze after waking up, so he put on his knuckles and punched him twice.
what! ! !
The pain brought Tokiel back to reality, seeing Anduin raising his hand and punching again, he begged for mercy, "Don't, don't hit me, please!"
"Are you awake?"
Anduin's slow and heavy voice reached Torkiel's ears, and Torkiel nodded in a hurry.
"That's good, I woke you up to ask you something." Anduin took out the vault key and asked, "Do you know this one?"
Torkiel looked at the key in Anduin's hand, his expression changed drastically, he looked at the key and then at the other's face, and asked eagerly, "How did you find this?"
Anduin smiled disdainfully, "Do you want to ask me how I opened the basement? Or do you want to ask me how I cracked that safe?"
Hearing Anduin directly tell the secret of this house, Tokiel felt cold, how could it be possible, those memories should have been protected by the mental protection spell, it's over, it's over, he found the key, then Doesn't it mean that the land deed is also confiscated?
Torki suddenly became limp and was about to fall, but Karkaroff, who was next to him, reacted quickly and immediately supported him.
"Hurry up and answer the master's question, and be honest." Karkaroff's expression changed rapidly, and he sternly shouted at Tokiel.
"Karkaroff, have you betrayed too?" Tokiel glanced at the bearded man next to him, his anger overcame his fear for a while, and he said with a grim face: "Wait, when the Dark Lord returns, you will definitely suffer die!"
boom!
Seeing that he still had the strength to speak harshly, Anduin went up and punched him in the face again, causing Torkiel's tears to flow from the pain.
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't want to waste Veritaserum, and I don't have time to waste it on you, so hurry up!" Anduin asked impatiently, pulling out a bottle of potion, ready to use Veritaserum for torture at any time.
This punch dispelled the anger that Tokiel had just mentioned, and replied timidly: "No, I will say."
Then Tokiel swallowed, "That's the key to a middle-level vault in Gringotts."
"What's in the vault, do you need identification?" Anduin continued to ask.
"That vault doesn't belong to me. It's Yulia's private vault. She needs to be present with the key to open it. Both are indispensable, and the key is unique. There is no way to report the loss, and no proof documents are accepted. Inside... There are..."
Speaking of this, Tokiel's expression became a little unnatural, as if there was something unspeakable, but after seeing Anduin pick up his thumb and push off the bottle cap of Veritaserum, as if he was ready to feed him the medicine at any time, He closed his eyes and shouted.
"It's full of ledgers!"
"Ledger?" Anduin seemed to have thought of something, but continued to ask: "What ledger?"
"That's right, it's just some common ledgers for business between families." Speaking of this, Tokiel dared not look directly at Anduin, his eyes wandering.
After a night of torture, he became extremely fragile both physically and mentally, coupled with the pressure Anduin brought to him, he didn't even have the energy to organize lies.
Anduin's thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he suddenly had a guess.
"It's your smuggling ledger, isn't it? Are there any ledgers that you have secretly traded with senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and other families? Maybe in addition to your own secret ledgers, there are more criminal evidence of transactions by other families and senior officials." Duin reasoned and bluffed.
"You, how do you know?" As soon as he said this, Tokiel knew that he had been tricked, and then he shut his mouth tightly.
"Oh, I'm really curious, how dare you put these things in the vault of Gringotts? Could it be?" Anduin's mind flashed, as if he had thought of something again, "This key is also the one you plan to use. Part of the deal?"
This time Torkiel didn't dare to answer, but from his flickering eyes, Anduin reconfirmed that what he thought was right.
"So who are you going to make a deal with for this key?" Anduin stared into Torquil's eyes, and tried again in a voice, "With other pure-blood families? A certain Wizengar Members of the Morocco? High officials of the Ministry of Magic? Or... Millicent Barnold?"
But after Anduin said Millicent Barnold's name, Torkiel's pupils vibrated violently and contracted.
But at this time, Anduin's eyes were clear.
"So, this is the biggest guarantee your family has prepared for itself. On the one hand, these secrets can be used to blackmail those families and high-ranking officials who have secret dealings with you. On the other hand, if your family is facing a real crisis, this The key is the best bargaining chip, which can be used to make deals with those in power and seek political asylum, am I right?" Anduin grinned slowly, mockingly.
And through Tokiel's reaction, his judgment was further confirmed to be correct.
I have to say that these pure-blood families with a long history are quite far-sighted. They are so prepared for danger in times of peace, not only building a safe house on this legal land where no one can investigate, but also holding this kind of political killing Compared with the rogue strategy of running away after an accident, this is more like a decision made by these nobles.
