Chapter 631: The murderer 50 years ago

In April, the weather picks up and spring flowers bloom.

Hogwarts Castle was restored to its usual tranquility and peace, and no students would pay attention to the attack a while back, as if nothing had happened.

Albert decided to take the time to find Hagrid, ask him about Tom Riddle, and fill in the last piece of the puzzle for the truth he will tell Dumbledore next.

To be honest, it is very difficult to conceal a mastermind reader like Dumbledore, even if Albert's Occlumency level is not low, but Dumbledore's IQ is not low.

In fact, not contacting Dumbledore is the best way.

Unfortunately, the panel task rewards are so rich that Albert can't easily give up. When he has to contact Dumbledore, he can only take another method, which is to follow the truth. Simply put, it is to make Dumbledore think that he is a genius who can piece together the truth from broken information. Anyway, everyone thinks that he is a genius. This is nothing to doubt.

Leaving the castle and walking through the grassy path, Albert raised his foot to Hagrid's hunting lodge. Before he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door, the sound of fangs was heard inside the door.

The next moment, the wooden door was opened from the inside, and the Hound Fang shook his tail and rushed forward. Albert flashed sideways, and then squatted down and touched his head to subdue the excited Fang.

Hagrid looked at Albert, who was squatting in front of the door, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here? Did you find something again..."

"Go in and talk about it." Albert interrupted.

"Oh, I almost forgot, come in!"

Hagrid felt that Albert might have discovered another amazing secret to share with him, and quickly opened the door and invited Albert into the house.

Hagrid closed the window of the room, then hung the copper kettle on the fireplace to boil, and asked, "What clue did you find again?"

"Hagrid, do you remember Tom Riddle?" Albert asked mysteriously.

Hagrid obviously never thought that Albert would ask about Tom Riddle. He was stunned for a while. After a long time, he said quietly, "Of course I remember, that guy caused me to be expelled from school. You said this!"

"I remember Tom Riddle was a student at Slytherin College, right?"

"Yes, I remember it seems to be Slytherin College...what do you ask this for?" Hagrid put a plate of rock crust on the table and looked at Albert in confusion.

"You never thought, is it possible that the person who opened the secret room was Tom Riddle?" Albert directly broke the news and began to direct Hagrid's thoughts in the direction he wanted.

"Although he caused me to be expelled from school, you can't just because he is S....wait, did you find any evidence?" Hagrid bit the rock cake and turned his head to look at Albert in shock. . He knew that Albert would never talk nonsense, and there must be some reason to suspect that Tom Riddle was the heir of Slytherin.

"There is no direct evidence, but something has happened recently." Albert told Hagrid what had happened a while ago.

"The Riddle's diary that appeared suddenly is suspicious." Facing Hagrid with his face full of doubts, Albert deserves to continue to explain, "You probably don't know, except for the Sorting Hat, I have never seen anyone who can think on his own. Magical items, and the diary disappeared somehow. The culprit who stole it was a student of Gryffindor College."

"Why do you think you are a student of Gryffindor?" Hagrid became even more confused. He could understand every word of Albert and understand the meaning of every sentence, but he didn't understand why he said that. .

"Someone broke into Potter's dormitory secretly, rummaged through his cabinet, and stole Riddle's diary." Albert glanced at the rock cake that fell on the table and continued, "You don't think about it. Is it suspicious?"

Hagrid seemed to want to say something, but was directly interrupted by Albert.

"You are also a student of Gryffindor. You should know that students from other colleges cannot know the fat lady's password, let alone break into Gryffindor’s common room, so the person who stole the diary can only be Gryffindor. Many students.

"You're right!" Hagrid agreed absently, as if considering the possibility that Tom Riddle was the culprit in opening the Chamber of Secrets.

"I only know that you may not believe it, but Riddle is really suspicious. Just take a look at this and you will know why I said that."

Albert took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and spread it flat on the table, allowing Hagrid to read what was written on it.

Hagrid took the parchment and read the concatenated names above:

[Harry], [Basilisk], [Snake Guy], [A Gryffindor Student], [Riddle’s Diary], [Hagrid], [Tom Riddle], [Secret Chamber].

They are connected by countless lines.

"What does this mean?" Hagrid put down the parchment, walked to the fireplace and picked up the boiling copper pot, and made a pot of hot tea for Albert.

"Don't you think Tom Riddle is connected to many things?"

Albert picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the hot tea, and continued to guide Hagrid: "Remember, think about what Tom Riddle did, think about whether there was a snake-like voice in school at the time. Rumors."

"What if Riddle is a snake-like voice?" Hagrid asked tentatively.

"If Tom Riddle is a snake-like voice, then he is undoubtedly the culprit who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago." Albert said affirmatively: "Although there is no official name, I am not at all. I suspect that opening the Chamber of Secrets requires mastering Slytherin. Don’t forget, Salazar Slytherin is also Slytherin, and his mark is snake. I think nothing is more suitable as a symbol of Slytherin’s heir than using Slytherin. Up."

Hagrid doesn’t know why Albert thinks this way. If you think about it, it’s true. Although there are other snake-like wizards besides Slytherin’s blood, they can’t hold back many things in Slytherin College that are like snakes. Related, especially the way to control the basilisk.

"This is just your suspicion, we have no evidence." Hagrid clearly pointed out the problem.

"You should be clear, we only need doubts, no evidence." Albert ignored Hagrid and continued. "Although Tom Riddle lives in the Muggle world, it does not mean that his parents are Muggles. Even his parents had wizards or dumb guns."

"Tom Riddle is a Muggle wizard?"

"The diary that Potter found was bought in the Muggle World, so his childhood must have been in the Muggle World, otherwise, who would go to the Muggle World to buy the diary?"

Hagrid knew that Albert made a lot of sense, that the wizard had not much contact with Muggles, let alone buying notes.

"If, we are being bolder, Riddle is a snake-like voice, is it possible that he is a descendant of Slytherin?" Albert once again threw out a hypothesis, "I know many famous wizards, and I have rarely heard of four The descendants of the giants, maybe their descendants’ surnames have changed. After all, if the descendants have no sons, the continuation of the blood will be inherited by the daughters."

At this moment, Hagrid was already at a loss. His IQ could not keep up with Albert's changes in thinking, so he could only listen to Albert's words in a daze.

"I have never heard of such an outstanding wizard like Tom Riddle. I even asked some old friends and never heard of his name." Albert took a piece from the plate. Rock cake, soaked in tea, smiled and asked, "Do you know what this means?"

"Does that mean he is dead?"

"Or..." Albert reminded.

"Or?" Hagrid replied with his brains, "become a very mediocre wizard, so he is unknown?"

"Do you think I will be unknown for the rest of my life?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"No." Hagrid shook his head. He knew how Albert's abilities and talents could be unknown unless he died early.

"That's right!" Albert took a bite of the wet rock crust and said slowly, "Tom was the chairman of the Hogwarts student council in seventh grade, and according to the magic of that diary, Tom Riddle is a genius who doesn’t compare to me at all. It’s not that I’m boasting here, but I’m pretty confident in my talent."

"You mean..."

"He probably changed his name."

"Why do you think this way?" Hagrid asked puzzledly.

"Tom's name is bad, and my cats are called Tom."

"Why would he do this?" Hagrid was even more confused. According to Albert's analysis, Tom Riddle was indeed suspicious.

"The reason why he wants to report you is probably because he doesn't want the school to be closed." Albert threw the final killer, "Don't be anxious to deny it. After you were caught, the Hogwarts attack completely stopped. Now, are you Slytherin's heir?"

"Of course not." Hagrid exclaimed excitedly.

"Don't yell at me, of course I know you are not." Albert tried to calm Hagrid's emotions. "But after you were caught, the attack stopped. That's the point."

"Point?" Hagrid obviously didn't understand Albert's meaning.

"After you were caught, the attack stopped, and everyone thought you were the culprit in the attack." Albert reminded, "If the attack continues after you are caught, they will know they were caught. The wrong person."

"Yes, that's right, that's it." Hagrid seemed to figure this out and stood up excitedly.

"Since you are not Slytherin's heir, why did the assault stop after you were caught?" Albert continued, "Naturally, the attacker wanted to put you in the wrong, and Tom Lee, who won the Special Contribution Award Del is the biggest suspect."

"why?"

"Because he is the biggest gainer, the suspicion is naturally the biggest."

"I remember that only Dumbledore thought I was innocent." Hagrid said sadly. "Later, he persuaded Professor Dippet to let me stay as a hunting ground guard."

"No, you are wrong. In fact, most professors know that you are innocent as long as their brains are okay." Albert said quietly, "Otherwise, you think you should stay at Hogwarts instead of Living in Azkaban Prison? Principal Dippet knew of course, so he agreed with Dumbledore."

"But, why..." Hagrid opened his mouth in shock.

"They need a scapegoat, and the assault stopped after you were caught, so you are the most suitable person to do it. Someone always needs to do this." Albert's face was undisguised. Ridiculed, "After all, a student died, and he always needs to give his family an explanation, and you were caught on the spot by Riddle and let go of the young eight-eyed giant spider. You can’t prove that you are innocent, even Deng Brito can't help you, so don't blame others."

Hagrid was silent for a long time. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Albert had already explained to him in detail, and what he said made sense.

"Why do you think I am innocent?" Hagrid asked curiously, "Why do you think I am not the culprit? Why do you say that other people know it at a glance."

"Because you are not a snake-like voice, because you have the blood of a giant. Of course, other people may not think about this, but the heir of Slytherin must be a sinister and cunning guy with a very clever mind, and most likely in Slater Lin, not in Gryffindor, and your brain... ahem, it can only be regarded as ordinary among many students." Albert shrugged and said, "Slytherin's secret room can be hidden in the castle. It hasn't been discovered by others for a thousand years. It is not easy for ordinary people to find the secret room, so you know why I say that."

"Humph!" Hagrid snorted dissatisfiedly, a little dissatisfied with Albert saying that he was not smart, even though it was true.

"If it was Tom Riddle who opened the secret room last time, and who opened the secret room this time, according to your statement, you would say that apart from Harry, no other students in the school are. And according to your statement, controlling the basilisk attacking students also requires a snake-like voice."

"If these assumptions are true, Riddle's diary is suspicious." Albert said his point. "Since he can automatically answer the questions of the person who wrote it, why can't he speak? Let a diary Speaking is actually not that difficult!"

Albert drew his wand and pointed it lightly at the parchment paper just now, and the parchment paper made a sound.

"If Riddle leaves any weird magic in the diary, naturally it is possible to use the diary to open the secret room to control the basilisk. Don’t forget, the diary has its own thinking. The only question now is whether Tom Riddle will He doesn't know how to speak like a snake, is he the one who opened the secret room fifty years ago? Did he change his name.

"Go ahead, what is your final answer?" Hagrid took a deep breath and asked.

"Mysterious man." Albert tapped it lightly, so that the name appeared on the parchment. After he was connected with Tom Riddle, everything could be explained.

"Mystery man!"

When Hagrid saw the name, his breathing became sharp, "Do you have any evidence?"

"No." Albert shook his head. "However, I will find a clue."

Naturally, he would not tell Hagrid the secret of Voldemort's name, otherwise it would be difficult to explain clearly.

[Tom Marvolo Riddle's English is "TomMarvoloRiddle", and the English of "I am Voldemort" is "IAmLordVoldemort". The letters are all the same, but the arrangement is different. 】
