Chapter 427: Investigation and Discussion

"Haha, that's the price just now!" "Daphne" turned hostile at this time, and insisted: "Since you chose to take action, and I was forced to take action, then I will change it to six pieces of goods... You should also know that my price is very expensive."

"Don't do this, Miss Greengrass." The old wizard looked as if he had lost a family member. "Please, if you really do this, I will go bankrupt. I am really a small business owner, otherwise I would not resort to such a desperate measure and attack you."

"Okay, okay, then four pieces will do. It's really shameless to haggle like this." "Daphne" waved her hand with a look of disgust and said, "But these four things must be chosen from all over the store. If you dare to keep any of them for yourself, this matter will not be over!"

The old wizard heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he showed a distressed expression and said, "Yes, yes, miss, don't worry, everything will be as you wish."

The old wizard finally gave in completely...

The search went smoothly, without any obstruction or sudden attack by unidentified masked men; however, the search results were not satisfactory. Although Yang Tian saw traces of many people, he did not find even half a person, let alone any other way to leave... The entire backyard was sealed, not to mention the door, not even a window could be found. If they could still run away, it would be a strange thing! But where are they hiding? Is there some mechanism that he has not discovered?

Yang Tian was puzzled. He looked around carefully, trying to find clues. Unfortunately, after half an hour, he still had no clues...

Of course, Yang Tian did not gain nothing. At least, he found some valuable treasures to pay off his debts. For example, a small bottle of Fuling potion, an ancient meditation basin, a blood demon skin made of rare alchemical materials, and a small stone Buddha ornament that had no apparent function.

Let's not talk about anything else for now, let's just talk about this little stone Buddha ornament. It is emerald green all over, as if it is carved from jade. But when it is placed on the table, it always flashes a strange red light from time to time, which is really weird.

Of course, although this ornament is beautiful, Yang Tian would not choose such an ornament if there were other options. But after searching the whole house, there was really nothing he liked. For example, those unknown potions were definitely not within his consideration. Who can guarantee that they are not failed products when refining potions?

With this in mind, he could only take this small ornament as compensation to make up the number. But for some reason, he always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if this seemingly ordinary small ornament hid some secret...

The investigation was over, and the blackmail was over. "Daphne" was contented and pulled her sister out of the store. Before leaving, she even said arrogantly: "Your performance today was not bad, so we are even... But I like this place very much, and I will definitely come here often in the future."

As soon as he said this, the old wizard felt relieved, but the expression on his face instantly fell...

When Yang Tian transformed back to his original appearance and joined the Five Idiots and a group of friends, they were already at the junction of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. They specially chose a remote small square to discuss.

"Young Master, have you encountered any trouble?" Seeing Yang Tian's heavy face, Jiuchi immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I didn't find any trace of the person who attacked Petil. But there is definitely something wrong with number 11 Knockturn Alley." Yang Tian then told everyone about the previous search operation in detail.

He did not mention Draco when he was telling the story, because the young master made a veiled gesture to him, asking him to keep it a secret. Seeing this, Yang Tian naturally knew what was going on and did not say anything more.

"Why are you so sure that there is something wrong with that old man?" Parvati asked in confusion, "I listened to the whole process, but I didn't hear anything wrong."

"In fact, we can conclude it based on just one point. It is unbelievable that a potion dealer would sell werewolf-inducing reagents as violent potions! Either he knows nothing about potions, or he wants to frame me. But this is the first time I met him today. We have no grudges against each other. Why would he want to frame me?"

"Werewolf-inducing reagent?" Hermione screamed in surprise.

"That's right. When a wizard drinks this potion, there is more than 90% chance that he will turn into a werewolf. It's a perfect candidate for frame-up. But the other party actually said that this is a berserk potion that can increase magic power in a short period of time. I really laughed!" Yang Tian said speechlessly.

"So, you mean that the other party is a fake boss?" Penelope asked.

"That's right. I suspect that the other party used some method like polyjuice decoction to steal the identity of the shop owner, otherwise it would be impossible for him to make so many mistakes." Yang Tian's tone was very firm.

Then, he frowned and continued, "Moreover, I can guarantee that those hastily retreating figures were definitely not dazzled... The black fog cast by the old man not only obscured vision, but also had the effect of slightly delaying other people's nerves. And those people were obviously prepared to unite and kill us, they just didn't expect that I could dispel the magic so quickly."

"But there is still one question that I can't figure out." Penelope rubbed his head and asked softly, "Since they are confident that they can avoid your search, why would they risk the world's condemnation to attack you?"

"I've thought about this question as well." Yang Tian said in a deep voice, "Of course, this is what I've always wondered about. Either they are still suspicious of Astoria and I breaking in, so they want to take this opportunity to silence us; or they need to meet certain conditions to hide in the mechanism... Alas, there are too few clues to make any inferences. However, what is certain is that this 11 Knockturn Alley must be hiding some unknown secrets."

Yang Tian’s words made everyone fall into deep thought.

"In that case, I will send someone to monitor that store first. I want to see how they can escape from our grasp!" Drunkard made a prompt decision.

"Okay, but you must be careful not to alert the enemy." Yang Tian immediately instructed.
