Chapter 105: Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody

    The isolated little Hangleton County has not welcomed many guests in the past few decades, but these outsiders have been arriving one after another in recent days.

    The Ministry of Magic''s Aurors were dressed formally and asked nearby residents if they had seen Tom Riddle.

    The person in charge of the cross-examination was Delis, who sent Cyrus to Azkaban more than two months ago.

    And now Cyrus has escaped from prison. Although it has little to do with him, he still needs someone to take the blame.

    In addition to him, there were several Aurors dressed similarly to him, as well as two misfits.

    Mad-Eye Moody was leaning on a cane, his uneven face looked like a toad, and the bulging magic eye in his left eye moved weirdly as if it wasn''t in control.

    "Do you really think Tom Riddle has appeared in this town?"

    Standing next to Alastor Moody was a tall woman with pink hair. She seemed restless and was tapping her feet on the ground. Weeds, "As my first Auror mission, I would rather participate in the capture of Sirius Black."

    "First of all, you are not an Auror. It''s just that Dumbledore asked me to investigate Tom Riddle''s affairs, so I took you with me." Moody did not save her any face. "In addition, Sirius Black! He''s not an ordinary criminal. I''m afraid he will kill you as soon as you meet him. Don''t think that someone who has become a Death Eater will care about your relationship with him."

    Tonks made an unhappy face behind Moody''s back.

    But then she had questions.

    "By the way, who is that Tom Riddle? I heard that he was the culprit of the previous Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts. But I think even this would not involve you in the capture, right? You have retired from the front line after all. "

    "I''m afraid it''s a revenant," Mad-Eye said through gritted teeth. Dumbledore did not reveal the other party''s name to him, but Moody was born to investigate on his own.

    Fifty years ago, there was a model student at Hogwarts named Tom Riddle.

    Although the other party was born as a Muggle, he was probably a mixed-blood. He almost monopolized all the awards during school. Such a person should have a bright future after graduation.

    But in fact, this student''s name didn''t fall on his ears after Hogwarts, no news of Tom Riddle since graduation. It was as if he had never been in the wizarding world.

    It was like a pebble hitting the lake in the magic world, causing a small wave. However, when the lake calmed down, no one could find the stone. In fact, it has become a mystery whether the water splash had even happened before or not.

    But Moody still found some clues.

    He started his investigation with Tom Riddle''s life experience.

    Delis looked at him resentfully and followed with the other two Aurors.

    The five people walked up the distant hillside together, and the old Frank stood at the door, his cloudy eyes motionless, as if he had been waiting for them for a long time.

    "Here you are, gentlemen."

    "Did you know we were coming?" Moody asked in surprise.

    His magic eye saw Frank''s whole body thoroughly in an instant, and the ice-blue eyes were frozen in the deep lake water, exuding powerful magic power.

    He wanted to see through Frank''s disguise, but the magic eye seemed unable to see through the other person''s mind, let alone the modified memory.

    "The gentleman told me that if any other guests come, I should welcome them and leave the place." He looked a little lonely, but he was not particularly sad.

    After all, that gentleman had left him a place to stay in the town.

    But in fact, he misunderstood what Cyrus meant. The "guest" Cyrus was referring to was actually Voldemort, and letting him leave was to save his innocent and pitiful life. But Frank obviously regarded Moody and the others as "guests".

    "The ''gentleman''? What''s his name?"

    "He said I could call him Cyrus, or - Riddle."

    "It''s really Riddle!" Tonks'' eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Where has he gone?"

    "I don''t know, I''m just a gardener, miss," Frank said at a loss.

    He seemed to want to entertain Moody and his group, but he felt that he should leave and wanted to pack things, but in fact, he didn''t have many things to pack at all. The wooden shed he originally had on the property had been demolished, assimilating into the new modern manor, and Cyrus had been letting him live in the house.

    As for the old things from the past, such as the kerosene lamp or his crooked kettle, they were also disposed of.

    In the end, he just took his dying body and walked towards the town step by step with the sun on his back.
