Chapter 565 The buyer of the necklace

Turning around, before the wizards in Knockturn Alley had woken up from their naps, they saw a whole team of law enforcement officers rushing into the alley, fully armed.

These employees from the Ministry of Magic parked neatly at the entrance of Borgin-Bock. They did not enter the store, but blocked the road in front of the store and drove away the people who gathered in front of the store.

At this time, the shop door opened, and Mr. Bojin, with oily hair, hurriedly came out. As a shrewd businessman, Mr. Borgin guessed that he must have offended someone unintentionally, but he could not figure out who he had offended yet.

With a smile on his face, Bo Jin said kindly: "What are you doing here? But what's wrong with this small shop?"

The members of the Law Enforcement Team parted to both sides, revealing the figure of Arthur Weasley.

Probably because he comes from a grassroots level, Mr. Weasley likes to do things personally. He has only served as the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department for just over two months. He has appeared in person more often than many senior directors who have worked for many years. More.

"Ah, Mr. Weasley!" Mr. Borgin said respectfully, "You're here in person!"

With fiery red hair and old, patched robes, anyone with both must be from the Weasley family. And Mr. Weasley is now the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department, so Mr. Borkin naturally recognizes him.

Although Mr. Borgin disdained the Weasleys from the bottom of his heart, he would not be rude to Mr. Director, especially in front of them. The team behind them is not the model team, but the legal enforcement team of the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Borgin, this is a very unpleasant meeting." Mr. Weasley said, not arrogant or scornful because of his high position.

Hearing this, Mr. Borkin appeared very uneasy. He said in a fuss: "Mr. Weasley, please don't say that. Borkin-Bock is a law-abiding store, and our meeting will definitely be pleasant." ."

With that said, Borgin invited Mr. Weasley inside to talk in detail. He did not want these people to rush into his store. If any items were damaged, it would be Borgin-Bock's loss.

Mr. Weasley did not refuse Borgin. It seemed that he brought people here to check Borgin-Bock, but in fact he wanted to find out the opal necklace. It would be best if I could talk to Bojin alone.

Borgin ushered Mr. Weasley into the shop, along with the two of them and one of Mr. Weasley's assistants.

The two sat down, and before Borgin could warmly entertain them, Mr. Weasley got straight to the point. He said: "That's right, we are tracking an illegal dangerous item. According to the tip, this illegal item came from Bojin-Bock."

There are so many illegal products in the Bojin-Bok store. Mr. Bojin can’t remember just one illegal dangerous product.

However, Mr. Borgin did not refute immediately. The location of the store in Knockturn Alley already indicated the nature of the store. If the Ministry of Magic really wanted to check it, it would definitely check it.

Seeing Borgin's reaction, Mr. Weasley was not surprised. If the other person jumped up and said it was impossible, he would have to copy the other person back to the Ministry of Magic! Mr. Weasley gave his assistant a look, and the smart young man understood immediately.

The young assistant took out a package from his arms, placed it on the table in front of Mr. Weasley and Borgin, and then carefully opened it - what was wrapped inside was a luxurious opal necklace.

"This thing... Mr. Borgin must be familiar with it, right?" Mr. Weasley asked.

Familiar, too familiar, this necklace was sold by Bo Jin!

"Uh...this is indeed a product in the store, but I have already made a statement about this item. This necklace will only be sold to those who want to study and break the curse." Bo Jin said, "You know , breaking the curse on the object has always been a problem. Do you remember the sonnet?"

In the wizarding world, many magic items come with curses, either to protect the item itself, or out of pure malice.

Regarding the curse of the sonnet, many people know that anyone who comes into contact with this cursed object can only speak in the sonnet genre throughout their lives.

"I don't want to study the curse on the opal necklace, Borgin." Mr. Weasley put away his smile and said seriously, "Because of this necklace, a Hogwarts student was injured and hospitalized. Fortunately, she only touched it. Take a moment, otherwise I won’t be able to sit here and communicate with you now.”

Mr. Borgin's expression became even more exaggerated, his mouth opened wide, and his eyeballs almost flew out of their sockets.

"How could this be!" Bo Jin shouted, "The items in the store are only for research, how could someone use them to do bad things!"

Mr. Weasley motioned to Borgin to calm down and said: "Sit, sit... I am very willing to believe you. I believe that you have nothing to do with the curse on the students at Hogwarts. But, it is useless for me to believe that you You have to work hard.”

The position of director of the Legal Enforcement Department has made Mr. Weasley more powerful. It is just a word of comfort, but it gives people a feeling of calm and self-power.

Bo Jin's brain was working rapidly at the table. He clearly remembered who he sold the opal necklace to, and he was weighing whether he should betray the buyer. Between offending the Ministry of Magic and offending the buyer, Mr. Borgin must make a choice as soon as possible, and the legal enforcement team outside the store will not give him much time to think.

If the previous Ministry of Magic had been inefficient and procrastinated, Borgin would have kept secrets without hesitation.

But now the Ministry of Magic is different. With the support of top experts, Thicknesse has changed the previous impression of the Ministry of Magic, and the entire organization is operating efficiently. Although there will still be disharmonious voices within, due to public opinion and the current situation, these people can only temporarily let Thicknis do what he wants.

As the old saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current person in charge. Without much hesitation, the cunning Mr. Borgin named the buyer.

"I sold an opal necklace to Draco Malfoy a while ago," Mr. Borgin said.

Then, in order to reduce the impact of this incident on himself and the store, he continued: "As you know, Young Master Malfoy's father is a subordinate of the 'Mysterious Man'. He wants to buy an opal necklace, and I don't dare to stop him."

Borgin said that he was innocent, a victim of coercion, and that Draco Malfoy was the abandoned son. As for whether the Death Eaters would cause trouble for him in the future, Borgin couldn't care so much. It was better to settle down smoothly today than later.

As long as they are not very ignorant, almost everyone knows about the relationship between Esmeralda Twisted Fate and Arthur Weasley. Having offended Arthur Weasley so much this morning, maybe the female devil will come to visit in the afternoon.

Borgin could still tell the difference between Drizzt and Death Eaters.

Mr. Weasley was a little surprised when he heard Draco Malfoy's name. He guessed that this matter might be the work of a Death Eater, but he did not expect that it was the work of a second generation eater.

Mr. Weasley was a little confused. He thought this might be a conspiracy against Slughorn or Dumbledore, but Draco's name made him doubt his thoughts.

Would the other party give such an important task to a child?

When they first lived in Grimmauld Place, adults Fred and George were rejected when they wanted to join the Order of the Phoenix, even if they wanted to know more information.

Draco Malfoy is the same age as Harry. Can his young shoulders really carry such a heavy responsibility?

"What else did he buy?" Mr. Weasley asked. Whatever Malfoy's purpose, the investigation must continue.

"No, he only bought the opal necklace." Bo Jin said, his old habit recurred, and he started to say half and half. In this way, he still has room for change, but he suffers the inquirer.

"Seriously?" Mr. Weasley didn't believe Borgin. His eyes became sharp, and the young assistant beside him also made a move to walk out and call the legal enforcement team waiting at the door.

The situation was stronger than the others. In desperation, Bo Jin could only continue: "It's really gone. But...he was more interested in a few items in the store. Like the glorious hand that inserted a candle , only the person holding it can see the light, Young Master Malfoy..."

"Is there anything else?" Mr. Weasley interrupted Borgin. The so-called Hand of Glory was the best friend of thieves and robbers, and the danger of that item was very low.

As if he had made up his mind, Bo Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! The disappearing cabinet. He is very interested in the disappearing cabinet, but that thing has been broken for a long time and cannot be used at all."

Mr. Weasley frowned, he didn't understand more and more.
