Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Breaking News

"We have no choice against cunning criminals!" said an Auror. "Reporter Skeeter, why don't you listen to the testimony of Mr. Alex?"

"Alex, repeat everything you just confessed!" the Auror ordered.

"I, my name is Alex Wood, I work for Murphy Darkholm, I..." Alex twitched in his chair in a daze, "I made the potion for him and put the magic potion on him. The medicine was sold to, Ma, Madou..."

"It's a Muggle!" the Auror corrected. "The Veritaserum made him a little slurred, but this does not affect the authenticity of his testimony. What else do you have to say?"

Murphy frowned, looked at Alex, then at Barty Crouch, and finally turned to Kingsley, "Is this what you call a testimony? Captain Sly?"

"What? You still want to deny it?"

Murphy took a step forward and was stopped by an Auror. He looked at Alex, "I ask you, where did you make the potion? Sell ​​them to Muggles?"

"I, I don't know... I don't know..."

"Then what evidence do you have to prove everything you said?"

"I... I don't know, I don't know..."

Alex suddenly grabbed his chest, "It hurts... My chest hurts..."

"Didn't you say I was selling potions to Muggles? How did I sell it to them? How much did I sell it for? Where's the evidence?" Murphy continued.

"I don't know, I don't know, they didn't tell me..." Alex suddenly struggled violently, "It hurts! It hurts! Help! Help..."

"Murphy, you..." Kingsley thought that Murphy was against Alex. Lux did something and was about to scold.

But Murphy shouted faster than him: "What did you do to him! Stop! Do you want to silence him?!"

Kingsley was stunned.

Should I silence him? Why should I silence him?

However, Alex struggled more and more fiercely, and he yelled miserably, "No, please, I know, I am Alex! Stop! Please, I remember! I work for Murphy, Please, stop..."

All the Aurors were stunned and didn't understand what was happening.

Rita Skeeter was also stunned by this sudden development, but the reporter's sense of news immediately brought her back from the shock, allowing the photographer to quickly snap several photos.

Big news!

Big news this time!

"What spell did you use on him? The Cruciatus Curse?" Murphy asked.

"What?" Kingsley looked at the scene in front of him in shock, "No way, he must be cursed! Quick! Undo the curse on him!"

Murphy raised his eyebrows and reacted quite quickly.

But it's too late.

His consciousness followed the magic link connecting "Alex" and issued the instruction, "Well done, now you can die, Yitzhak."

Yes, the so-called "Alex" was only a few days old. Yitzhak was captured by him before and then had plastic surgery.

After experiencing countless Legilimency and Oblivion spells, he has been tortured by Murphy into a puppet who only knows to repeat a few lines.

Now, the puppet's performance is over and it's time to exit.

The magic power of the Thorns Oath was injected into Yizhak's body along the link, instantly detonating the curse implanted in his body. Yzhak felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a bush of thorns, and even his internal organs began to grow thorns, countless thorns entangled him, tightened them, and then twisted violently.

Yitzhak suddenly let out a miserable scream, then rolled his eyes and lost his breath.

"Stop the curse! Stop the curse!" An Auror recited several breaking spells to Yitzhak, but there was no response. "Boss, he's not breathing!"

"Therapist! Quick! Go get a healer. Master!" Kingsley shouted.

"Kill him!" Murphy shouted loudly, "What methods did you use to force him to say those words!?"

"What?! What nonsense are you talking about!" The Aurors still didn't listen to Alex. Coming back from the shock of sudden death.

"Did you put a curse on him?" Murphy asked. "You forced him to say those words, and then in order to avoid anyone questioning, he spilled the beans and put a curse on him!"

"We? Put a curse on him!" An Auror laughed angrily, "Why should we curse him?"

"Of course, it is to make him say those words, to make him prove that I am a criminal!"

Kingsley was furious! To the extreme, it was the first time that he felt that he hated someone so much.

The boy in front of him was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was already like a demon in human form. He was as indifferent to the lives of others and regarded all laws and rules as nothing!

He is simply like a replica of the Dark Lord!

Kingsley couldn't help but want to pounce on him and punch that confident face hard.

"Stop!"

Barty Crouch stopped him.

"You're crazy! Kingsley! This is the Ministry of Magic! This is the Auror's office! This is not a place for you to quarrel and fight!"

Kingsley forced himself to calm down and said to Crouch: "Director, what happened to Alex just now? " You have also heard the testimony. The evidence is clear that Murphy Darkholm has violated the law. I apply for his immediate arrest!"

"Oh? Then, you will continue to torture me and suddenly die after I tell you my crime?" Murphy scoffed.

"Shut up!" Crouch also yelled at Murphy, "Call experts immediately to check the cause of Alex's death. No one is allowed to leave the Auror headquarters until the cause of his death is found out!"

However, his words Just as he landed, a wizard suddenly broke in.

"Davis?" Crouch was a little confused when he saw the man, "What are you doing here?"

The young wizard named Davis just nodded to Crouch but came to Murphy's side. He showed a smile and said: "Mr. Murphy, I am Davis Pruitt, the secretary of the minister. The minister asked me to inform you that Mr. Alex Wood has been found just now. He just passed the international floo not long ago. He went to Germany to visit his relatives. "

"What?" Murphy was stunned, "Are you sure it's Alex Wood?"

Everyone in the interrogation room also looked at Davis.

The latter was a little confused but still said: "Yes, it is Alex Wood. We looked at his cross-border floo application. The staff in charge of the fireplace was a classmate of Alex, and it was confirmed that it was him. "

In an instant, the silence in the interrogation room could be heard.

"If Alex went to Germany," Murphy looked at the body behind Kingsley, "then who is this person?"

Rita Skeeter was also shocked.

Aurors arrested the wrong person? And tortured people to death?

Good guy! Big news!

This is definitely going to explode!

"Quick! Quick! Why are you still standing there! Take pictures! Take pictures!"
