"Professor Rozier?" As soon as Matthew's voice fell, Neville and Hermione yelled almost in unison.
"Yes!" Matthew nodded.
"No way..." Hermione looked hesitant: "Professor Rozier... how could she..."
Matthew turned his gaze to Neville and began to explain: "Neville, do you remember our second after-school practice this semester, when the first-year students of our two colleges were together, Mr. Pringle Order to clean up Professor Rozier’s office."
"Of course I remember." Neville nodded, "The two of us, and Evans, and the three of us...that day was also the day Ron was attacked."
"You and Evans went out that day. When I was mopping the floor with a mop alone, I found a drop of blood-like liquid under Headmaster Rozier's desk." Matthew said calmly, "Also, In the cupboard in Professor Rozier's office, I also vaguely smelled the corpse of a unicorn!"
He was non-detailed, and he recounted all what he saw in Rozier's office that day.
Hermione and Neville looked at each other and murmured, "Unbelievable..."
"It's true." Matthew continued: "Moreover, in the second attack that happened in the potions classroom, Principal Rozier also appeared on the scene immediately!"
Hermione lowered her head and pondered for a moment: "But on Halloween, when the unicorn was attacked and Professor Kettleburn broke into the auditorium, Professor Rozier was in the main guest seat..."
However, Matthew is already aware of this question: "The time when the unicorn was attacked, and the time when Professor Keitelburn found the body of the unicorn, may not be at the same time. Maybe someone attacked the unicorn first. Beast, then return to the auditorium, and then Professor Keitelburn found the unicorn body!"
The expression on Hermione's face still seemed hesitant.
It was Neville, who had already been persuaded by Matthew for the most part.
"I always thought that Professor Rozier was suspicious!" He said very solemnly: "Why did she suppress all the news of these attacks... Why didn't she cure Ron Weasley for his poison... …Why did she still not put Hogwarts into a state of emergency after so many attacks..."
"I couldn't figure it out before, and I didn't understand why she did this, now I understand." Neville continued, "If she is the real culprit, then it makes sense!"
Looking at Neville's expression, Matthew nodded somewhat satisfied.
"But..." It's a pity that Miss Granger was still not convinced by him: "Professor Rozier, she is the principal... She has been at Hogwarts for almost fifty years... Why did she do this? Does she have any reason to attack students?"
"Who knows." Matthew shrugged and returned Hermione’s original words: "But, Hermione, you are too naive. You always think that the vice-principal of Hogwarts will be a saint, but All the evidence now shows that Professor Rozier is the most suspicious..."
Hermione lowered her head, seeming to be lost in thought.
About half a minute later, she raised her head again.
"I still think Professor Troka, he is more suspicious!"
She said seriously.
……
Matthew felt a little dizzy.
The reason he wanted to tell the information he knew about Professor Rozier was to attract the attention of these two friends and prevent them from paying too much attention to Professor Troca's affairs.
However, Miss Hermione Granger seemed to be more stubborn than he thought.
"Let's split up!" Neville decided: "Professor Troca and Professor Rozier, they both have great suspicions... That's it, Hermione, you are responsible for following Professor Troca; and I, It is responsible for following Professor Rozier...We will definitely be able to catch the horse feet they left behind!"
When he heard Neville's words, Matthew only felt that he was getting bigger.
Hermione Granger, a smart little girl, if she finds something and makes it public, it may affect the overall situation.
I must stop them from doing this!
Neville's gaze turned to Hermione: "Hermione, if you are accidentally caught by the teacher when you are tracking, then try to transfer all the responsibilities to me. Just say that I let you do this. Do it!"
"And you, Matthew..." Neville's gaze turned to Matthew himself again.
His expression was serious and he didn't make any jokes at all: "...Matthew, I know, you are a good kid who abides by the law and don't want to violate school rules... Unlike us, Hermione and I are both born with one An adventurous heart. But it’s okay. I will leave the investigation task to Hermione and me. Even if it is discovered by the teacher when we follow up~EbookFREE.me~, we will never confess you! Also, thank you very much You provide us with such important information."
was suddenly called a "good boy" by Neville, and Matthew was faintly "flattered".
"What do you do, Neville?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
The gazes of Matthew and Hermione couldn't help but focus on Neville Longbottom.
Neville smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. My parents are more or less related to the Ministry of Magic. Even if the Dongchuang incident happens, I won't be expelled. I will be locked up for a few more days at most... ."
"...Actually, I'm used to it." He lowered his head and looked at the traces of the shackles on his wrists: "And after all, you are all from Muggle families, and the punishment must be stricter than mine... The body is stronger than you. In short, no matter what happens, just put all the responsibility on me!"
The other party's words are said to be for this kind of sake, and Matthew feels that if he shirks a little bit, he is really a bit "improper".
"Neville, follow the task of Professor Troca, leave it to me." Matthew replied calmly.
"Matthew?" Neville and Hermione both looked at him in surprise.
"I am the student who is most liked by Professor Troca in the transfiguration class...it is the safest choice for me to contact him." Matthew continued: "You two should follow Principal Rozier. ; Be careful, because I believe that your task will definitely be more difficult than mine!"
Naville glanced at Matthew with some gratitude, then grabbed his hand.
"Let's act together to catch the real murderer behind the scenes!" He said very firmly.
"Yes!" Hermione also leaned over.
