Chapter 112: Approachable minister

Minister Millison Barnold is a witch with a wide stature and a round chin. Her black hair has been cut short, and the expression on her face looks gentle, at least not boring.
　　 She smiled kindly at Matthew, and motioned that he didn't need to be nervous.
　　 And Ma Xiu tried to get up from the bed.
　　 His head is still a little dizzy... it may be due to the influence of Phantom Displacement; it may also be the bunch of "stun spells" previously issued by the Aurors, and one or two aftermaths hit him.
　　 "It might be better to eat some of this." Minister Barnold handed over a box of things.
　　 Matthew received it, only to find it was a box of chocolates.
　　 "Thank you, Minister." Matthew said while breaking a large piece of chocolate into several pieces.
　　 Throwing a piece of chocolate into his mouth, Matthew asked at the same time: "Where am I now?"
　　 "This is the Law Enforcement Department!" Minister Barnold said with a smile: "Of course, our Ministry of Magic's laws are not to be enforced against you, but to protect brave children like you!"
　　 Seeing that Matthew seemed to be choked by chocolate, she picked up a large glass of pumpkin juice next to it and handed it over.
　　 Minister Millison Barnold was very approachable.
　　 "Thank you..." Matthew muttered, thanking him.
　　……
　　 ate a whole piece of chocolate, and Matthew was surprised to feel that a sudden flow of heat rushed to his toes and fingers.
　　 The whole body became warm, and all the uncomfortable feelings before disappeared.
　　 It looks like the piece of chocolate just now, it seems to have some "material" added...
　　 "How effective is it?" the minister asked softly.
　　 "Awesome!" Matthew nodded quickly: "I feel full of strength all over my body now!"
　　 "That's good." Minister Barnold smiled and nodded.
　　 Matthew could clearly feel that the Minister of Magic was expressing kindness to him deliberately.
　　 This is not difficult to understand.
Matthew guessed that it was probably because of Principal Gellert Grindelwald...A few months ago, Matthew had been with Principal Grindelwald and had an encounter with the female minister in Theta at Hogwarts. Zhiyuan; Although the Minister was a little embarrassed because of the escape of the suspect Troka; there was no doubt that she must have seen herself at that time.
And earlier today (to be more precise, it should be yesterday, because now it’s past twelve o’clock in the evening), when Matthew left Lihen Bookstore to have breakfast at the Broke Cauldron, he quietly and dropped in. A trip to the Owl Post Office.
　　 There, he wrote a letter, and the object of the post was directly addressed to Ms. Millison Barnold, Minister of Magic
In the content of the letter, in addition to a brief introduction to this highly likely illegal
smuggling
operation; Matthew also
inadvertently
mentioned that at the time, Sita worked with the principal of Grindelwald and the minister. One-sided edge between.
　　 There is no need for Matthew to worry about the next thing.
　　 The defensive Ministry of Magic had planted a lot of Aurors around Diagon Alley that night... and poor Mr. Shafik, who had just left the Lihen Bookstore, had already been targeted by the Aurors.
　　His anti-reconnaissance consciousness is indeed good, but obviously he can't compare with the Aurors who have experienced many battles.
After 　　, his detours and concealment were all in vain.
　　 After they landed, the two groups of wizards who carried out this "smuggling" transaction with the Aurors were all swept away.
　　……
　　 Secretary Barnold sat on a bench beside him: "You are welcome, Mr. Wickfield, after you regain your strength, can you tell me about the whole incident!"
　　 "Of course!" Matthew nodded without hesitation.
　　 Then, he told him all the information he knew, except for the book, he said everything in one hundred and fifty-one.
Including the strange transaction information he found on the bill; and the name Tom Gunter; of course, the manager Shafik made a "large sum" to lure him into "smuggling"; even Matthew overheard, Sha The conversation between Fick and Malfoy is no exception... He almost tells it all!
　　 The memory of past lives gave Matthew a slightly positive impression of the name "Milison Barnold":
She was the Minister of Magic before Cornelius Fudge. She led the war between the Wizarding World and Voldemort, and arrested a large number of Death Eaters after Voldemort was defeated by the one-year-old Harry Potter... Apart from Yurik Gamp (the first Minister of Magic), the most popular Minister of Magic in the wizarding world...
　　 Because of this, Matthew feels that this minister deserves his "trust".
　　 "It turns out that this smuggling incident is also related to Lucius Malfoy and a wizard named'Tom Gunter'!" The minister said thoughtfully.
　　 "Minister Barnold!" Matthew asked eagerly: "Have you heard of this Tom Gunter?"
　　 Minister lowered his head to think for a while, then shook his head: "No impression..."
"...However, the surname Gunter is quite special!" She added: "This pure-blood family, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is the only blood of Salazar Slytherin... But I remember that the last member of the Gunter family passed away 50 years ago...Of course, in North America, there seems to be a branch of this family. I will send someone to investigate when the time comes."
　　 This can't help but disappoint Matthew a bit. Of course he knows who this "Tom Gunter" is, but it's a pity that these things can't be told openly to the minister.
　　 He had to move the topic to another aspect
　　 "Minister... As for the box... I think it looks weird!" He made a "curious baby" look and asked, "Can you ask what's inside?"
　　 "Sorry, Mr. Wickfield." Ms. Barnold shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to answer. In fact, I don't know what's inside..."
After a pause, the minister continued to explain: "Smuggled things from foreign countries, especially from countries like Italy that are not subject to the "Extreme Magical Items Restriction Act", generally have a high risk... The Auror will not touch them easily. We usually give this kind of things to the Department of Mysteries, so that they can find out the truth slowly."
　　 "Well..." Matthew suddenly gave a frustrated expression.
　　 "However, I have to compliment you again." Minister Millison Barnold continued, her face looking serious:
　　 "In a sense, your brave behavior even saved you a life, Mr. Wickfield!"
