Chapter 61: Another Investigator

"At least one point can be reached a consensus, that is, we don't want to see the Chamber of Secrets opened. I think we need to retain this form of self-examination meeting, gather once every two weeks in the future, one is to maintain vigilance against the diary, and the other is for everyone to exchange collected information and reason about the true identity of the opener of the Chamber of Secrets." Malfoy summarized.

"I think this gathering is still very meaningful. We found two clear ideas, that is, motivation and whereabouts. Next, everyone can start from this angle, investigate who has the motivation to open the Chamber of Secrets, and who is always suspicious in their whereabouts, and discuss it together when we have the next self-examination meeting."

After he finished this sentence, the students present nodded deeply in agreement.

"Then that's it, we'll take our leave first." Cui Ge stood up and bowed, then pulled Luna and left.

"Then we are leaving too, wish you a smooth investigation." Ivy stood up and bowed, Ginny followed him and left.

Crabbe and Goyle sat in place stupidly. Malfoy glared at them, and these two remembered that it was about time for them to leave, so they hurried out.

"What do you think, Harry?" Seeing that the people in the classroom had left, Malfoy asked for Harry's opinion.

"Assuming the notebook has no problem, then it is the Dark Lord who has laid out something elsewhere, and the notebook is just a prop used to attract Deng Buliduo's attention; assuming the notebook has a problem, then by what method did it deceive Tang Tang Nade, then the opener of the Chamber of Secrets is among your eight people." Harry said in a flat tone, he didn't want to arouse Malfoy's dissatisfaction.

"In order to avoid conveying a preconceived impression, I think we'd better investigate separately back-to-back." Harry deliberated on his words. "I hope I can come to listen to every self-examination meeting in the future."

"I fully agree with your idea." Malfoy smiled politely. "We will gather here every other Sunday in the future, and the time can be set at seven o'clock."

"I believe as you said, this self-examination meeting is still very necessary." Harry shook hands with him sincerely. No matter how bad Malfoy was at being a person before, at least he handled this matter quite openly.

On the way back to the dormitory, Harry jumped out of the specific content and looked at this whole self-examination meeting from an overall level. Just as he said to Malfoy, it can be divided into two situations.

Either the notebook has no problem, then these eight people in the self-examination meeting might all be innocent. Eight innocent people divided into two groups to investigate separately and summarize regularly, which can play a considerable positive role in solving the Chamber of Secrets incident. Malfoy might not dare to obstruct Voldemort's plan himself, so he invited Harry to listen in invisibly, so that all aspects were considered.

Either the notebook has a problem, then the opener of the Chamber of Secrets is among these eight people who take turns using the notebook. In this way, in the speeches of each gathering, Harry can collect first-hand information most directly, consider the attitude of these eight people, and they will also suspect each other and supervise each other, which is the most reasonable way to find the real culprit while maintaining the decency of classmates.

Now there is only one possibility left that perhaps hasn't been considered, which is that Ma Erfu has developed a very deep sense of cunning, using various means to cover up his situation...

Just when Harry was sorting out his thoughts, he found that he had walked to the door of the dormitory on the eighth floor without knowing it, and bumped into Tang Tang Nade at a corridor corner.

"Sorry, Professor, I was thinking about a problem and was absent-minded." Harry apologized hurriedly.

"It's okay, I'm also a bit in a hurry." Tang Tang Nade smiled friendly, then hurried away.

Harry glanced at that corner. There were only the Gryffindor dormitory and the Headmaster's office on the eighth floor. This corner would not be walked by anyone usually, unless he came out of the Headmaster's office and then deliberately took a longer corridor to go down the stairs, which was really strange.

Then, he saw Deng Buliduo coming out of the Headmaster's office. Harry thought to himself, actually, the notebook matter could be told to the Headmaster, he might be able to check out something that Tang Tang Nade didn't know.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop the Headmaster and said: "Headmaster Deng Buliduo, I think there is a matter that needs to be told to you."

"Oh, Harry, I originally wanted to find you too, but you look like you are in a hurry, so you speak first." Deng Buliduo said with a smile.

"It's like this, Malfoy told me a clue about the Chamber of Secrets, which might be related to a notebook. I suspect it is a Dark Magic item, but Tang Tang Nade said that notebook has no problem. If possible, I hope you can also check that notebook."

"First of all, I am very happy that you and Malfoy can unite in the face of major issues." Deng Buliduo said. "Secondly, wizards don't necessarily have to use Dark Magic to do bad things. Since Tang Tang Nade said the notebook has no problem, then I think it has no problem. If you are curious about the opener of the Chamber of Secrets, you can try other investigation directions, but pay attention to safety, you know?"

"Alright, then, what do you want to say to me?" Harry could feel that Deng Buliduo trusted Tang Tang Nade very much.

"Tang Tang Nade said he saw the Lady of the Lake, and Avalon might appear in the Black Lake. This is what I want to tell you. You, Luo En, and Neville, you can try it, maybe you will have a harvest?" Deng Buliduo blinked.

"This is too outrageous, he is an American, why?" Harry felt very shocked and confused. "I mean, King Arthur and Avalon are our British legends, why does he, an American, perform better than anyone else?"

"Because he is good at discovering and learning, Harry." Deng Buliduo said earnestly. "It is precisely because we are all focused on Merlin's story that we ignored that King Arthur might also be a wizard. Perhaps this is another path discovered by ancient wizards, and Tang Tang Nade can find treasures from ignored history. You should admire and learn this spirit, Harry."

Just like I found the jumping pot that adults couldn't find from a fairy tale book, Harry thought to himself, perhaps it is precisely because Tang Tang Nade is not British, so he can examine our legends from another angle, thereby discovering King Arthur's inheritance, which also makes sense.

"I know, Professor." Harry accepted his instruction and said seriously, "I will pay attention to Avalon."

Returning to the dormitory, Harry happened to see Neville reading a book on the bed, so he talked to him about the news of Avalon, and then began to talk about his suspicion of the notebook.

Neville finished listening to Harry's analysis and said: "Since Deng Buliduo trusts Tang Tang Nade, we can also trust Tang Tang Nade. If the notebook has no problem, then Malfoy, who is making a fuss about the notebook, might have some problems."

"In fact, Malfoy and I reached a consensus on this matter rarely." Harry said. "With his help, the investigation work will be much simpler. Of course, I also feel that it doesn't exclude the possibility that Malfoy is acting me, if so, it might have to be handed over to you."

"Your meaning is, either you can efficiently join hands with the problem-free Malfoy to investigate, or I can investigate what problems Malfoy himself has, so that the candidate for the opener of the Chamber of Secrets is locked." Neville combed Harry's logic.

"Right, the matter is divided into two situations, either Malfoy has a problem, or he has no problem." Harry summarized. "I start the investigation according to the assumption that he has no problem, and you start the investigation according to the assumption that he has a problem, so that all situations can be covered."

Harry scanned the dormitory, preparing to pack up his textbooks to go to the library. He suddenly remembered that there was a clue that hadn't been investigated yet, which was the scene where Colin was attacked last night.

Considering that Zhang Qiu stayed up all night, she should be resting in the dormitory, and Luo En didn't know where he went. Harry didn't really want to go out with Neville, so he decided to go to the scene to see for himself.

Colin was attacked on the way to the school hospital, Harry thought while walking from the Gryffindor dormitory toward the school hospital. Just when he was preparing to go downstairs, he noticed a professor squatting on the stairs, carefully checking the ground.

"Oh, Harry." That professor greeted him, then stood up very naturally and patted the dust on his hands, introducing himself: "I am Felix Hap, who teaches Ancient Runes, welcome you to choose my class in the third year."

It's an elective course professor, no wonder he had never seen him, Harry thought so.

"Hello, Professor Hap." Harry nodded. "What are you doing here?"

"To tell you the truth, I am investigating the opener of the Chamber of Secrets." Professor Hap said. "You also noticed, right, this is the scene of the second attack."

"Indeed." Harry thought to himself, judging from the gait of Colin's statue, he looked more like he was being petrified while going downstairs.

"Since the first attack, I noticed it. Everyone was eating in the cafeteria, so who did the attack?" Professor Hap said his analysis. "I tend to think that the person who launched the attack used some kind of magic trap, and Ancient Runes happen to be indispensable for setting up magic traps, so I am here, carrying out some professional investigations on the scene."

"However, Professor." Harry said. "We all speculate now that the one who launched the attack is the opener of the Chamber of Secrets, and Professor Binns told us that there is some kind of terrifying thing in the Chamber of Secrets. I think the attack on Halloween should have been completed by the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, right?"

"Right, this is also the viewpoint of most professors." Professor Hap agreed. "However, it is also possible that the attacker didn't open the Chamber of Secrets, but used some unique method to complete the attack. He deliberately smeared blood words just to let us focus our attention on the Chamber of Secrets."

"You are right, we actually forgot such a shallow truth when discussing." Harry felt Professor Hap's analysis instantly hit his blind spot of thinking.

"Harry, we have to allow different voices, different opinions." He said meaningfully. "It's not that there is only one possibility, it's not that there is only one situation." ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
