Chapter 649 The Investigator

The two led the guests to have a meal in the box of "Going Home Like an Arrow". The owner of "Heart Like an Arrow" now regards Heimdall as one of the biggest returning customers, and is willing to meet all his needs, including the seemingly unreasonable request that the restaurant only provide venues - no food and drinks.

The major tasks of cooking fell on Hina, and the making of desserts was handed over to Kreacher.Kreacheran has followed Anna steadily to this day and has not run away full of complaints, which is completely beyond Heimdall's expectations - judging from its previous nagging, in fact, he is ready to ask his father to send another capable family supporter at any time Elf.

Heimdall didn't think Mrs. Krum would think of this. Even if she thought about it, she probably wouldn't be willing to do anything for Anna. In the eyes of her mother-in-law, Anna is almost synonymous with deviant.Plov had actually talked to Anna about finding another house-elf to replace Kreacher.Putting aside factors such as personality, Plov is a man after all. He doesn't want the house elf around Anna to come from the Sturluson family—to be precise, the Black family—similar to the unhappiness of having his own territory invaded. Eager to get rid of this unhappiness, the easiest way to deal with it is to replace Anna with a house elf.

Anna refused, in front of Kreacher, her words were tactful, but her tone was firm.Kreacher's soliloquy, which had been "healed" for a short time, erupted again due to this stimulation.

On that day, Mr. Plov of the Krum family fled after being chased by the house-elf's sharp "heart voice", and he never thought of switching Klee away.

Without the backing of their master, the house-elves, who are prone to become soldiers, would never dare to openly complain to the wizard, and the slightest offense is unforgivable.Kreacher is, of course, an outlier.Even so, its "mantra" still only exists in the scope of "talking to itself", and it is still a humble elf after recovering.Even in the face of the Weasleys it snorts at, it just "talks to itself" louder.

Husband and wife are the people who understand each other best except their parents. Just as Anna has a clear understanding of Plov's thoughts, Plov can also quickly understand Anna's unfinished words.So he wisely chose to give up the replacement idea, of course there was another reason, he didn't want to confront Anna.Ever since the illegitimate child incident came to light, Plov has always been unconsciously half his head short in front of Anna, which is what people call a guilty conscience.

It was Anna who suggested Kreacher to help make the snacks, but Anna revealed that Kreacher volunteered.It is very concerned about Heimdall's actions, even if it works with Mrs. Kroom, it does not prevent it from guarding Master Rigg for the deceased mistress—Mrs. Black.

What makes Heimdall feel particularly amazing is that Kreacher has "studied" many wizards and labeled them with various labels, including Lucius, Draco, Victor, etc., but he has never heard of it. Talking to himself "Anna--Heimdall is an exception, yes, there is also Rommel, but Kreacher has admitted that the enigmatic Rommel is more terrifying than the Mysterious Man, so it dare not--why not "Tell me" what about Anna?

Could it be that it is inseparable from the mistress it misses?Of course, this was Heimdall's wild imagination, maybe Kreacher saw in Anna some kind of quality similar to the deceased mistress.Although Anna and Mrs. Black have nothing to do with each other, they are thousands of miles apart and have very different styles of behavior.

Kreacher tried his best to make English pastry, which made the guests full of praise, and Master Malfoy hardly stopped talking.At this gathering of wizards from England, Bulgaria, Estonia, Italy, France, Austria, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Mexico and more, even lowering the standard of taste out of respect for the hosts could not water down the various languages Intertwined compliments.

Kreacher stepped back seemingly reservedly, his waist straightened, and the old rickets Heimdall saw when he saw him for the first time are no longer there. Work is the most important way for house elves to save their existence value, and it is the only means they have at present. The exhausted "savings" of No. 12 Grimmauld Place get sunshine, rain and dew here, and rejuvenate.

After dinner, Draco proposed to go out for a walk, this is not his first time in Belgium, unfortunately the last trip was in a hurry.His proposal was unanimously approved, and everyone left "Heart Like an Arrow" and decided to wander around Bruges first.

Lange walked up to Heimdall and asked, "When do you plan to go back to class?"

Heimdall's eyes fell on the master in front of him, "When Victor's condition is completely stable, I don't need to visit the therapist every day. Draco and the others copied a class note for me, covering almost every subject, and I am sincerely grateful to them I’m so sweet, I’ll take a good look at it.”

"I'm sure you understand what you're doing," Lange said, changing the subject. "However, if I was still in school when you left school, I would definitely find a way to stop you."

"As a professor?"

"And the friend part."

Heimdall smiled, "Thanks, but I'm glad you weren't at school at the time, because I don't think I can contradict you."

"Because I'm a professor?"

"And the friend part."

The two smiled at each other.

"How is Judge Hollingworth?" Heimdall said casually.

"It's fine, but it's agitated," Lange said.

"Are you restless?" Heimdall was puzzled.

"Well, how should I put it? Some people are born to scoff at leisurely living, thinking that it is a waste of life. They don't like leisurely life, and they don't like other people's leisurely life." Lange raised his eyebrows. "So I feel that he is very anxious, that is, the kind of deep in the quagmire of what he thinks is a waste of time, and by the way, he criticizes and reprimands other people who voluntarily fall into the quagmire."

Heimdall laughed loudly, "In other words, I'm just too busy."

"That's right," Lange pointed out. "Don't worry, that's not what I said."

Heimdall shook his head, "Do you need to be so careful?"

"You have to understand that people who are idle and have nothing to do are the most difficult to deal with. They can hook the spearhead on the string at any time and look for targets everywhere." Lange made a frightened look. "Who can guarantee that he won't suddenly appear from behind us?!"

"I won't tell Mr. Hollingworth." Heimdall reassured him seriously.

"My God, I actually spoke ill of his boss to Hollingworth's subordinates!" Lange told Heimdall. "Please keep it a secret for me."

Heimdall nodded, "It's okay, so I can chat with you occasionally. We're even."

"It's nice to have a mutual friend to talk about, and it's usually not cold," Lange said.

"Yes, don't worry about being heard by him."

"The best part is that he's still your boss."

A few people from the vanguard walked into a dessert shop, most of them went to join in the fun, and the three who were not interested stayed under the eaves to enjoy the sunlight and draw gold lines along the outline of the building.These three are Lange, Heimdall and Victor.

Lange took out his pocket watch and glanced, "Have you read the last issue of "Planet" before the New Year?"

"Victor read it, I don't know French," Heimdall said.

Victor said, "You mean the report that Di Rupo's body was 'discovered'?"

"That's it," Lange said. "It seems that the French Ministry of Magic is preparing to start dealing with this matter after the New Year."

"Follow the original plan to find another cause of death? Or just publish the suicide and suicide note?" Heimdall asked.

"It should be the former," Lange said. "The current French Minister of Magic is a person who loves to make a fuss, but the paradox is that he is also afraid of trouble. I think he may struggle for a while. The report before the New Year is probably a test, to test the international reaction, and to test wizard medicine. The depth of the circle. I think the time when they really start their activities may be from February 2st to December 1st.”

Heimdall couldn't help but laugh, "After the New Year?"

"Anyway, until the next year comes, it will be considered after the New Year."

"But didn't you say that the Minister still likes to make a fuss?"

"Yes," Lange reminded. "So his preparation time will be very long, until he thinks it is invulnerable, so they may come to the door."

"Looking for the door? Looking for me?" Heimdall was surprised.

"You have some friendship with Di Rupo, that's enough, they will visit everyone who has spoken to Di Rupo one by one. If Di Rupo accidentally stepped on dog shit, they will also try their best to find the dog An animal that knows how to read the occasion. All cases have to be investigated. Although this may not help the case itself, but the process is like this. tirelessly."

Heimdall and the master looked at each other, "It's not difficult to understand from February 2st to December 1st."

"What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers." Lange paused. "If they come to you, keep your story short and don't let them delay the conversation until after lunch."

"Why?" Heimdall said.

"French wizards put a lot of emphasis on lunch, and then take a nap after eating, so their lunch break is very long." Victor said.

"Sounds acceptable," Heimdall said. "Professor Lacarini once told me that the wizards in Milan sit down at the table at 07:30 in the evening and get up at 02:30 in the morning."

"The problem is that Italian wizards never work after seven o'clock in the evening. At two o'clock in the morning, they may not even remember the faces of their colleagues. They usually start to pack their things and prepare to go home at 03:30 in the afternoon." Lange said.

The door of the pastry shop was pushed open, and the small United Nations, which had returned with a full load, happily moved towards the three of them.

Heimdall hastened to confess, "If they ask what we're talking about, say we just finished talking about the climate differences between France and Italy."

Lange and Victor held back his laughter, and put his shoulders on the left and right.

"Mr. Sturluson."

Heimdall, who was standing in front of the bar, turned his head, and the nurse smiled slightly, "Two investigators from the French Ministry of Magic are looking for you."

Heimdall looked through the side of the nurse's face, and saw two wizards in thick gray cloaks and hard hats on their heads. Their eyes wandered around, and they looked at the furnishings in the coffee bar expressionlessly.

As soon as the two met Heimdall's gaze, they immediately walked over.

"Mr. Heimdall Strulusson?" asked one of the dark-haired agents.

"it's me."

Another brown-haired agent smiled and nodded at the orderly who led the way. "Thanks, Mademoiselle."

The nurse smiled and turned to leave.

"We are investigators from the French Ministry of Magic," the dark-haired agent approached Heimdall. "Specially in charge..." Looking around vigilantly, he kept his voice extremely low. "The thing about Karel Di Rupo. Is it safe here, Monsieur?"

Heimdall frowned slightly, and said nothing, definitely not to create a tense atmosphere, but the two investigators didn't see it that way, and they were shocked.

"It should be safe." Heimdall let them go before they could embarrass themselves. "As far as I know there hasn't been a terrorist attack in at least 50 years."

"Bon!" The two beamed with joy.

Heimdall's expression was a little subtle, he turned around and faced the inside of the bar.

Two investigators surrounded him, one left and one right.

"Our conversation must be carried out in a very safe place. This matter must be kept completely secret and no one else may know." The black-haired investigator stared at the waiter cautiously, and the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became. "Our identities are also kept confidential. Regarding today's conversation, you have to make sure that no fourth person knows."

"Oui." Heimdall seemed to nod his head in understanding. These two obviously no longer remembered Mademoiselle who led them the way just now.

"Your honey fruit." The "suspicious" barman handed Heimdall the freshly baked dessert.

"Thank you." Heimdall took it in his arms and was stopped by the two French investigators when he turned and walked out.

"Where are you going?" A look of fuss.

"Go find my boyfriend."

The righteousness of Chief Strulusson shocked the two investigators.

"Didn't you understand what we mean?" the black-haired investigator asked cautiously.

"Oh, I understand."

The two investigators breathed a sigh of relief.

Heimdall said again, "But it's different from my finding a boyfriend. I want to give him the honey juice fruit. This kind of snack can't be kept for a long time, and the taste will deteriorate."

But the two investigators still firmly blocked the way.

"You can't go anywhere until the conversation with us is over!" The black-haired investigator warned, and the brown-haired one nodded in agreement.

Heimdall sighed, "Let's put it this way, I am very determined to give the things in my hand to my boyfriend. He is at the therapist now. I must and absolutely do this by myself. No one can let me Change your mind and stand aside even if your ministers come in person. I will try my best to cooperate with your investigation, but at the same time please learn to respect my ideas. I am not a criminal, and if I refuse to cooperate with you, you have no right to take any action against me Measures, at least from now until now, you have not presented an official certificate that can represent your identity. And, you should have noticed that I have not yet reached the age of 17, do you need me to make it clearer? Now, I want Go get some snacks for my boyfriend, gentlemen, see you later."

Under the pressure of his gaze, the two investigators silently moved out of the way, "Oui."

Half an hour later, they sat down on stone benches in the garden of the deserted ICU.

Heimdall couldn't wait for them to speak, so he said to the dark-haired investigator, "It's safe here, Monsieur."

The black-haired investigator glanced at his colleague. The brown-haired one opened a marble-patterned briefcase and took out a stack of parchment. The black-haired investigator took the thick paper and rummaged through it.

"Nice bag," Heimdall said.

"Really?" The brown-haired investigator seemed to be pressed to a certain button, and instantly "lived". "You're so discerning, Monsieur. My mother gave it to me on my birthday, to celebrate my entry into the Ministry of Magic, albeit as an errand."

"Temporary errands, the Ministry of Magic usually has a high threshold, and the road to promotion is relatively easy." Heimdall smiled. "Isn't it just accumulating experience now? The protagonist in this case has a lot of background, and he is a synonym in itself. No matter who he is, he can make achievements."

The brown-haired investigator was overwhelmed by what he said, "You're such a nice guy, Monsieur."

"Because you have just stepped into society, and you won't think so when you don't say such things to others and understand the importance of hypocrisy." Heimdall murmured. "I didn't expect to come to my door so soon. It's not February yet."

"What did you say, Monsieur?"

"I'm thinking it's a bit hot today." Heimdall didn't change his face.

"Yes." The brown-haired investigator agreed.

The black-haired investigator coughed and successfully attracted the attention of the two.

"Have you found the papers?" Heimdall said.

The black-haired investigator pursed his lips unnaturally, and then glanced at his young colleague unhappily. If he didn't make a sound, the assistant next to him would jump onto the weighing pan by himself and let others weigh it.

"This is an investigation permit from the French Ministry of Magic." He pushed the proof to Heimdall.

Heimdall glanced around for a while, deliberately stayed at the signature for a moment, and then nodded.He believed that the two in front of him hadn't done their homework before they came, and he didn't know that he didn't understand French, otherwise he wouldn't let him see it.He also believed that they didn't pay much attention to this conversation with him. According to Lange, it was part of the process, and it was an irrelevant part.

"No problem, Monsieur?" The black-haired investigator stuffed the certificate back to the assistant and told him to keep it.

"No," said Heimdall.

The black-haired investigator glanced at his colleague, and the brown-haired investigator quickly took out a piece of blank parchment from his bag. On the top of the paper was a circular badge representing the French Ministry of Magic. He put a big, black feather on it. The pen stood up carefully—the black feather was as hard as a bristle, resting on the parchment, and then gently opened the hand, the pen was hanging straight and straight 2mm above the paper, ready to go.

"Let's start the investigation on Karel Di Rupo." Following the ups and downs of the black-haired investigator's voice, the black quill left a deep line of ink on the parchment.

"Investigator number 17." After the black-haired investigator finished speaking, the brown-haired one continued, "Investigator number 32."

The black-haired investigator gestured to Heimdall, "Our investigations are recorded every time, so please state your name accurately and clearly."

"Heimdall Strulusson."

"age."

"16."

"student?"

"Yes."

"Which school?"

"Durmstrang Academy."

"Do you know Carel Di Rupo?"

"know."

"How did you meet?"

"write a letter."

"for what?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you."

"Please cooperate."

"I'm cooperating, but there are some issues that I can't disclose. If you want to know why, you can visit Mr. Nulun in Turkey. I have nothing to say."

"Newlon?"

"Mr. Di Rupo, the head of Gringotts in Turkey, has solved a small problem for President Nurem, that's all I can say."

The black-haired investigator turned to his colleague and asked, "Which department is in charge of the economic aspects of this case?"

The brown-haired investigator shrugged.

The dark-haired investigator grumbled, as if about to give up.

"Let's continue." The black-haired investigator turned around. "What kind of person do you think Mr. Di Rupo is?"

"A very energetic old man, he speaks full of anger, and his voice is always inappropriately loud... But then it didn't work like this, now I think it's a bit..."

"Monsieur, that's our duty. Please don't complicate the matter." The black-haired investigator obviously saw Heimdall's thoughtfulness as the young man's attempt to sensationalize the public.

Heimdall nodded. The black-haired investigator was about to ask the next question when Heimdall asked again, "Is his suicide note long?"

"...Not short, more than 20 centimeters."

"parchment?"

"No, total paragraph length."

"What kind of parchment was used?"

"High-grade parchment for official documents made in England."

"Blue Lagoon?"

"Correct."

"Oh, it's really rich. It costs six gold galleons to measure [-] centimeters."

"That's right, I'm so jealous, my monthly food expenses can only be used as a suicide note at his place." The black-haired investigator joked.

"Have you checked the handwriting?" Heimdall asked again.

"I know what you're thinking. It's [-]% Di Rupo's writing, there's no doubt about it." The black-haired investigator said triumphantly. "His secretary can prove that she is in contact with the boss's handwriting every day. She sent the new Blue Lake paper in person a month ago. Di Rupo told her that the parchment was running out."

Heimdall hesitated, "Is his secretary nearby?"

"Across the wall, the lady was terrified and incoherent when facing us, she didn't understand that Di Rupo was fine the previous moment."

"She thinks the suicide note and the suicide happened together, and the two are inseparable?" Heimdall was a little dazed.

"Isn't it?" The two investigators were surprised.

"No, no, no, I'm just guessing wildly. Please don't let my nonsense affect your judgment. After all, you are all professionals and elites trusted by the Ministry of Magic." Heimdall smiled.

The two investigators withdrew their expressions unnaturally.

"Let's continue." The black-haired investigator glanced at the quill.

Heimdall pondered, "Where is Mr. Di Rupo's medicine bottle?"

"What medicine bottle?"

"It's the pill bottle that he's been showing off his masterpiece in front of people, eating it in front of a lot of people. I have a lot of questions that I can't figure out, because my boyfriend... well, so I haven't thought about it, In the past two days, those things, pictures, and words have been fighting in my mind one after another, which is really a headache."

The two investigators looked at each other.

"Look at you, the medicine bottle is missing? Not a single one?" Heimdall asked.

"...To be precise, we haven't looked for it," the black-haired investigator looked at his colleague again. "Did Rupo keep everything that Di Rupo carried with him?"

"I don't know..." The brown-haired investigator was so frustrated that he didn't even dare to meet Heimdall's eyes.

"I don't know why, but I think the pill bottle is very suspicious," Heimdall said. "Don't you think it's strange? There's something wrong with Di Rupo's medicine, which has dragged the whole of Europe into the claws of strange diseases."

"People stumble, horses stumble," said the black-haired investigator.

"That's right, but my boyfriend has never taken a new medicine. He suffered a serious injury on the Quidditch pitch. The potion he took came from Di Rupo's studio and was delivered directly by their team. The team, for the sake of confidentiality. As you all know, many of Di Rupo’s potions have not been made public, and even the recipes are sealed. My boyfriend took the original potion...you understand what I mean Yet?"

The two investigators shook their heads.

"What I mean is, since there is something wrong with Di Rupo's new medicine, why does my boyfriend get sick after taking the old prescription's potion? It is very necessary to investigate this clearly and see if it is a case."

The two investigators suddenly realized with an "ah", and then frowned.

"Is it necessary to change the formula of the potion that has been proven to be effective over time? Be more refined? Someone once told me that after gaining recognition and status, people will become more cautious and will never change easily, let alone It is said to change the witnesses that have won glory for him. Karel di Rupo deserves his fame, so why would he take such risks?"

"Why?" The two investigators couldn't help asking.

Heimdall shrugged, "He committed suicide, you witnessed it with your own eyes."

The two investigators were dramatically discouraged and leaned back in their chairs.

"The first thing to do is find the medicine bottle," Heimdall said.

The two investigators nodded.

"And whether the old medicine is an exception."

The two investigators nodded their heads.

"That's how it is now..." Heimdall murmured. "I can't figure out the reason for his suicide. Of course, it is clearly written in the suicide note, and he is overwhelmed by the overwhelming guilt, but Di Rupo doesn't feel like this to me... His eagerness for quick success, his words, It always gives people an indescribable feeling, which is very strange..."

Looking up, he saw the two investigators staring at him in a daze, and Heimdall smiled.

"Do you have any other questions?"

The two investigators shook their heads.

"Then I will take my leave." Heimdall stood up, "Oh, by the way, don't be misled by my nonsense, let alone be influenced by my words, you are elites and trusted professionals , stride forward firmly in your direction, don’t look back, and don’t go astray. Come on, gentlemen, I’m optimistic about you.” He took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. "Great, I didn't delay your lunch time. I heard that French wizards regard lunch break as an indispensable part of life. I wish you a good appetite. Aurevoir."

The two investigators watched him leave the small garden and turned around the stone arch before he suddenly woke up.

The author has something to say: there was an oversight in the communication in the last chapter, dry red is the first choice for wine.

Today's exchange content is mainly aimed at candidates, and of course non-candidates can also eat.Also, the methods I introduced can be used by both men and women, don't think that they are all patented by girls.

As the exam date approaches, candidates may become more and more stressed, and mood swings will affect the liver, causing anger to rise.Moreover, the acidic substances in the body will increase accordingly. If a person becomes acidic, it is easy to get sick.At this time, it is necessary to add alkaline substances to neutralize the acidity in the body.

Many foods in daily life are alkaline, such as vegetables, fruits, milk and so on.

([-]) The first thing to say is that if you are a candidate for the test this year, from now until the end of the test, try to eat as little chocolate as possible.After the exam, you can do whatever you want. After all, we can't live for health preservation every day. Taste is also very important.

But please try to control it during this period, it shouldn't be difficult.

Many candidates will lose their appetite when they are stressed, and chocolate is high in calories. They think that eating chocolate is to supplement their physical fitness.Of course, there is nothing wrong with high calories, but chocolate contains trans fatty acids, and the detoxification ability of the liver of people with strong anger is already weakened. Taking trans fatty acids at this time will undoubtedly make the situation worse.Chocolate also contains caffeine. Eating too much will affect sleep. Sleep is actually very important to people, especially candidates. If they don’t sleep well, their state will deteriorate, thereby reducing the quality of review.

I hope it can be done, try not to eat during this period, or eat less chocolate.

([-]) If you decide to quit chocolate, then use bananas and apples instead, both of which are "pistachios", which can relieve people's highly tense nerves, relieve stress, and supplement nutrition.Foreigners have a saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away.It shows their admiration for Apple.

Apples are good for the stomach and can be adjusted in both directions. Those who have diarrhea can stop diarrhea, and those who are constipated can eat laxatives.But remember to eat with the skin on. Some experts suggest peeling because of concerns about pesticides. As mentioned earlier - soak in flour water for 10 minutes, wash it, put it in a food bag, put it in a school bag, and take it to school. Yes Oh, don't forget to bring another banana. (Friends who go to work just put them in their bags and take them to the unit, and eat them in batches in the morning or afternoon, and you don’t have to worry about the apples being “rusted” with the skin on)

([-]) There is also a sleep-promoting drink. Vinegar is an alkaline food. As mentioned earlier, it is necessary to supplement the alkalinity to balance the acidity in the body. Eating some vinegar every day can achieve the balance purpose, but remember to persevere.

The method is a cup of hot water, pour a spoonful of vinegar in the water, wait until the water temperature drops below 40 degrees, and put a spoonful of honey. (This must be remembered. Honey cannot be placed in water above 40 degrees, let alone hot water. Once it goes in, it will become syrup instead of honey, and all the nutrients will be lost.) Pour a spoonful of vinegar and a spoonful of honey into the water at a temperature of 40 degrees The following boiled water, drink one hour before going to bed, and then go to sleep.

The vinegar balances the acidity, and the honey nourishes your stomach and calms your anger for a good night's sleep.

It is also good for non-candidates to eat the honey vinegar drink above. Drinking a glass of this water on an empty stomach in the morning can help clean up the residual toxins in the body, cleanse the stomach and intestines, and achieve the purpose of detoxification.A girl persisted for a month, and her skin became white and tender, because she has been suffering from constipation.

Another: Honey has a calming effect, if you drink it during the day, don't add too much.

There are many ways to detoxify in the morning. In addition to drinking honey and vinegar, drinking lemonade is also very effective. However, lemon is a photosensitive fruit. It is best not to go out just after drinking lemonade. Like allergies, I have had it before, and I didn't know it at that time.

The plain boiled water that is not added by Shenma is also very wonderful. It is cool boiled boiled tap water that is cooled after boiling. Drinking cool boiled water in the morning on an empty stomach can cleanse the intestines, prevent cardiovascular diseases, etc., and can also lower blood pressure.Boiled water is a good thing, don't despise others, drinking mineral water or purified water every day is not good for the human body.

That’s all for today’s exchange, I hope you can share it.

I am very happy to be able to use this platform to share this with you. I did not force myself. If these can help everyone, Paulownia’s goal will be achieved.

See you.
