Returning to Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor, leaving two professors guarding the entrance to the secret room and Danny's body, everyone went down to the first floor through the movable staircase and entered the auditorium.
A traceless extension spell has obviously been cast here, and the entire auditorium has been stretched and enlarged, making it look super wide.
The four long tables on the left side of the entrance still maintain their original style, and many students are sitting there, eating their dinner.
Further to the right, there are sleeping bags covering the ground. At the feet of the sleeping bags is a low table for children to study. They are divided into four parts with clear colors. With just one glance, people can tell which area's children belong to which academy.
Seeing Mag leading people in, the teachers and students in the auditorium immediately gathered around.
They just heard that Professor McGonagall took people out to catch the murderer with Leah.
Doubt, confusion, excitement, hatred.
Noticing the looks the students were looking at the four of them, Rossi suddenly felt something bad.
"Sister Liya, are they the murderers?"
Standing on the edge of the crowd, Ron's eyes were filled with hatred and he pointed at the four Rossi's and asked.
Before he could recover from the grief of his friend being killed in a coma half a year ago, his sister Ginny, who was new to school, was brutally murdered. This made him feel a surge of energy and hatred for the murderer. .
Following his question, the children around him also pointed here and started talking.
not good! There must be players among the students here who are fanning the flames, we can't let them set the pace anymore!
This thought flashed through his mind, and Rossi immediately shouted loudly before Liya:
"Students, I am an Auror sent by the Ministry of Magic to investigate this case. These three friends are the friends I asked to help! We arrived at Hogwarts this afternoon and have now found Slytherin's secret room. We also have clues about the whole thing! Don’t worry, everyone, this matter will come to light soon!”
Hearing her words that were completely different from the rumors that had just spread, the students suddenly looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
Liya, who was robbed of her words, curled her lips without noticing, put on a sad expression, and said sadly:
"Danny, they killed him."
As soon as these words came out, the students immediately burst into an uproar.
Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded from it:
"People from the Ministry of Magic are not worthy of trust. They are murderers!"
Immediately afterwards, voices fanning the flames came from two other corners of the crowd:
"Murderer!"
"Murderer!"
…
For a moment, the four words "murderer" rang loudly in the auditorium, and the sound spread throughout the castle.
Looking at Rosie who wanted to explain but couldn't keep her voice down, Liya showed a proud look on her face and then calmed down.
hateful! These idiots who are encouraged by others don't listen to anyone at all!
With a depressed comment in her heart, Rosie grabbed Eileen who was still explaining to the students, turned to look at Mag and said:
"Professor McGonagall..."
Before he finished speaking, Mag nodded and touched his throat with the wand in his hand:
"quiet!"
With the blessing of the amplification spell, Mag's voice immediately resounded throughout the auditorium.
Upon hearing this, the students immediately became quiet.
"Dikote, Aisha, Kessel, Yunus, Saifula! You guys stand up!" Mag pointed out several names in turn.
Immediately, the students quietly moved out of the way, and three men and two women lined up against the crowd and squeezed out nervously.
Um? Is it that assassin player?
Recognizing the player among the students who came out, Rossi looked back at Mag in surprise.
"Are any of them the people you're talking about?"
Seeing five students walking out at a loss, McGonagall motioned for Snape and others to gather around them and asked Rossi with inquiring eyes.
Amazing! No wonder they didn't stop the students from causing trouble immediately. It turned out that they were taking the opportunity to observe and find out who was instigating the trouble.
Rossi secretly praised him, pointed to the boy on the far left and said:
"Professor McGonagall, that's him!"
The boy who was clicked by Rosie took a step back. Just when his face showed a look of panic, Liya on the side sneered and said:
"You said Yunus was a murderer who took Polyjuice Potion and mingled among the students? Huh! The thief is shouting to catch the thief, and he is so confident."
After hearing her words, the panic on Yunus's face immediately disappeared, and he pointed at Rosie angrily and said:
"Principal McGonagall, she is talking nonsense! I am not a murderer! These people from the Ministry of Magic will wrong others. They captured Hagrid and now they are slandering me!"
Um? Hagrid has been taken away by the Ministry of Magic?
Rosie immediately realized that it was no wonder she hadn't seen Hagrid.
At this time, the Ravenclaw girl who was called out by McGonagall next to her helped:
"That's right, you still talk about sending people to investigate, but in fact they are the real murderers!"
Oh ho! Another self-inflicted crime.
Muttering something funny in her heart, Rosie looked at the girl who was speaking carefully.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know after you try it!"
Snape said coldly, and quickly pointed the wand at the five students.
"The true form is revealed!"
Invisible magic power suddenly swayed among the five people.
However, more than ten seconds passed, and their figures and appearance did not change at all.
what happened? Isn't it because the dead cannot change back to their original form?
Didn't they use Polyjuice Potion? But is there anything that can not reveal its original form under [the original form appears]?
Rosie was filled with confusion.
"What else do you have to say now?"
Liya sneered and took a step forward, "Huh, you murderers, you were caught doing it, and you wronged us and these first-year students!"
As she said that, she turned her gaze to Mag again:
"Principal McGonagall, now the truth is revealed, they are the real murderers!"
"Bah! You are the real murderers!"
Erin spat and said angrily, "You must have used some method to turn yourself into a student, and then infiltrated Hogwarts to murder the students!"
"Outrageous! Do you believe what you say?"
The Ravenclaw girl said, "Professor Snape has already used the spell. Please tell me, is there any other way to avoid being revealed by the 'Revealing Curse'?"
"Who knows, maybe you were born dwarfs and had plastic surgery."
Abo sneered and answered, "After all, the effect of each bottle of polyjuice potion can only last for one day. With your level, there is no way you can brew it for long-term use."
The Ravenclaw girl said angrily:
"You are the dwarf! Your whole family is a dwarf!"
…
No wonder Liya wasn't worried, it turned out that they were not afraid of their true colors being revealed at all.
After looking at Yunus and the Ravenclaw girl carefully for a moment, Rosie's mind was spinning rapidly.
Since these two people don't behave like their peers at all, it would be strange if they are not players, but how do they prevent themselves from being cheated?
While his thoughts were swirling, Jiang Jing, who had been watching the five students pondering for a long time, suddenly said:
"Professor McGonagall, maybe we thought wrong before."
As he spoke, he pointed at Yunus and said, "It may not be someone who took Polyjuice Potion in disguise, and a freshman may not be unable to do evil under the guidance of a caring person."
"How ridiculous! In order to avoid responsibility for the crime, you dare to say that the students of Hogwarts are murderers?"
Leia scolded, "What do you think Hogwarts is? A gathering place for murderers?"
Upon hearing this, the students in the auditorium immediately pointed at Rossi and cursed.
"Quiet!"
After shouting to stop the students' abuse, Mag looked at Rossi with sharp eyes, "Miss Rossi, I will notify the Ministry of Magic about this matter and ask them to arrange for people to investigate. In the meantime, I have to feel aggrieved for the time being. Take a moment."
As she said that, she turned her gaze to Snape and ordered: "Professor Snape, please arrange them into Slytherin's dungeon first."
