After Lin Ze came out from Harper, he went straight to Beast Division from the Fantastic Beasts Department.
Kage·Greengrass.
This person wasn't here last time, so he can't be here this time, right?
This time Lin Ze did not knock on the door, but opened the door directly and entered.
That House-elf was tiptoeing in the corner to water a pot of wilted magic plants. When it heard the door, it turned around suddenly and stared at him with two tennis ball-sized eyes in horror.
"Where is your director?" Lin Ze asked.
House-elf almost dropped the small kettle in his hand.
"Master... Master..."
"He's not here?"
"In... in... inside..."
House-elf's voice was as thin as a mosquito's cry, and he was so nervous that his whole body was trembling, and the tape on his ears curled up and down as he trembled.
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and looked towards the "inside" it said.
It was the innermost side door of the office, and it was ajar.
Lin Ze walked over and was about to knock on the door when he heard voices inside, and it was not a single person's voice.
"Do you need me to say it again..."
"But director, if that batch of funds is not reported today, the finance department will have to queue up again tomorrow..."
"That's your problem, do you hear me? Now, get out of here right away."
Lin Ze didn't continue to listen, he opened the door.
There is a cave inside the door.
A long table was covered with bottles and cans that didn't look legal, and several large wooden boxes were piled in the corner, covered with dark green tarpaulins.
Kage·Greengrass stood in front of the long table, holding a magic wand in his hand and waving it at a dusty bottle.
Behind him stood a young man with a pale face.
Hearing the knock on the door, Kage looked up suddenly, his face showing panic at first, then turning into coldness.
Lin Ze grinned when he saw Kage with a gloomy face.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Greengrass."
Kage stared at him, slowly lowering the wand in his hand.
"Are you... Deputy Team Leader Lin of Special Operations Team? Why did you come to my office instead of catching your Death Eaters!"
"Oh, of course I came to see you for something. I just heard that you were quite angry. Did you encounter anything troublesome recently?"
Lin Ze walked to the long table with a smile and looked down at the bottles and cans.
"Hey, what is this? It smells not very good."
As he spoke, he raised his chin towards the young clerk behind Kage.
The young clerk swallowed and looked at Kage. Kage's face turned dark and he waved his hand.
After the young staff member left, Lin Ze slowly pulled the chair behind him and sat down, crossing his legs.
"Mr. Kage, your place is nice, it's quiet in the bustle, and there's a little Chamber of Secrets."
"What's the matter with you?" Kage inserted the wand back into his waist and crossed his arms.
"Nothing, I just came over to visit and asked you something." Lin Ze stepped on the wooden box and crossed his hands on his knees.
"Do you know Igor·Karkaroff?"
Kage's eyes were obviously stagnant.
"Karkaroff?" He laughed dryly, "Isn't that guy Death Eaters? There are wanted notices on him every day."
"So, you don't know him?"
"Why should I know him? Am I Auror? I am the director of Beast Division, not a prisoner."
"That makes sense."
Lin Ze nodded, then took out a small glass bottle from his arms and waved it in front of Kage's eyes.
"Then please explain why your face appears in this."
Kage stared at the silver mist billowing in the glass bottle, and his face changed several times.
"This is..."
"Karkaroff's memory, don't worry, only I have seen this thing."
Lin Ze stuffed the bottle back into his pocket, patted his clothes and stood up.
"Let's talk about something real, Mr. Kage."
Kage's face has completely turned cold.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Nothing to talk about." Lin Ze waved his hand.
"I'm just here to tell you that your situation is quite special right now. You can either fight for it or give it up. I don't like to beat around the bush, so I want to say hello to you first."
Kage narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I have to listen to you just because of your words? I don't know what is going on here."
"Yeah, sure, but... you can bet that there is nothing in this, bet... no one knows about the Werewolf troops you promised to Dark Lord..."
Lin Ze's words were like a bolt from the blue to Kage.
Kage collapsed on the chair, his lips were trembling, and beads of sweat were pouring out layer by layer on his forehead.
"You... you..." he said "you" for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.
"I am me." Lin Ze walked up to him and patted his shoulder. The force was not strong, but it made Kage's whole body tremble.
"Don't be nervous. The reason why I came alone is because only I know about your affairs now."
Kage raised his head, the fear in his eyes slowly faded away, replaced by a feeling of resignation after being pinched seven inches.
"You... what do you want to do?"
"I want to make friends with you."
Kage obviously doesn't believe it.
"Really." Lin Ze said in a very sincere tone.
"Let's make an exchange. You do something for me and I'll keep you safe. Of course, if I fall, you can't run away."
Kage was silent for a long time.
Until he spoke again, his voice unexpectedly became hoarse. "What... do you want me to do..."
"Simple."
"I need you to help me pay attention to whether anyone in Ministry of Magic is secretly in contact with the remaining Death Eaters members outside. You don't need to check it deliberately, but as long as you have any news, just find a way to tell me."
"Of course, you can also pretend you don't know anything, but my patience is limited, and I'm not sure when I will be able to resist handing over that small glass bottle to Mr. Crouch."
Kage's mouth twitched. "I understand."
Lin Ze grinned at him, opened the door and left.
When I returned to Special Operations Team's office, I was lying on the table writing something.
"Where have you been? Moody just came to you and asked you to come back and find him."
"What does he want from me?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. I don't think he's in a bad mood." Ben winked.
"Okay, where is he?"
"You should be in interrogation room four right now."
"Okay."
Lin Ze turned around and left.
When we arrived at interrogation room No. 4, Moody just opened the door and came out.
"You're here."
"I heard you were looking for me?"
Moody nodded and motioned for him to go ahead and talk.
"Have you been very close to Fudge recently?" Moody asked as he walked.
Lin Ze was stunned. "When did I get close to him?"
There was no emotion in Moody's voice. "Someone saw you and Fudge chatting happily in the corridor."
"Tsk, I don't know why he suddenly went crazy and became so enthusiastic about me."
Moody stared at him for a few seconds, then grinned. "Don't be nervous, I'm not judging you, I just want to remind you that Fudge is not as simple as you see."
"I know." Lin Ze nodded.
