He has personally come into contact with Esra Warren, and this person is considered to be quite knowledgeable.
The other one is named Daphne·Rowle. Administrative Office is in charge of the hearing records, and Lin Ze has not found a suitable opportunity to meet him.
The name Thomas Perry was screened out by Grot before.
Four years ago, he received two transfers from the account linked to White Raven Chamber of Commerce, in his wife's name.
Lin Ze guessed that Malfoy put this person back into Administrative Office, either because Malfoy himself misjudged it, or he deliberately left a tail for Lin Ze to grab.
Lin Ze prefers the latter.
Malfoy is not so rough in doing things, so rough that people can see the problem at a glance.
But there is no need to rush this matter. Administrative Office Assistant's position does not have access to the core power, and the splash he can make is limited.
What really concerned him was another news brought by Fudge - someone was inquiring about the follow-up to the White Raven Chamber of Commerce case.
There were two judges among the people who inquired. One of them was named Clinton Foster. Wizengamot had a lot of seniority and had handled many Pure-blood families cases. His reputation was always neutral. But this time he suddenly came over to ask, which was a bit unusual.
Lin Ze went to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement archives that afternoon and asked Harper to retrieve all the court trial records that Foster had handled in the past five years.
Harper has recently been used by Lin Ze smoothly, and his movements have become much smoother. He returned a stack of parchment rolls in less than an hour.
Lin Ze spent the whole night in the office.
There is nothing wrong with Foster's verdict record, at least on the surface.
But there was one type of case that stopped Lin Ze.
Any dispute involving private property between wizards, as long as one party is Pure-blood families, the judgment of Foster will almost always be on the side of Pure-blood families. The reasons are all based on legal provisions, and it is impossible to make mistakes, but this is the rule over and over again.
This kind of tendency cannot be said to be illegal. Judges are also human beings, and it is normal to have preferences.
But if a judge with a neutral reputation has a clear bias in private, this is a signal worth pursuing.
Lin Ze made a separate list of the Pure-blood families property dispute cases handled by Foster. There were eleven cases in total. The winning parties in seven of them had business dealings with Malfoy family to varying degrees afterwards.
He closed the file, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a while.
It is almost certain that Foster is related to Malfoy.
Just...Foster is asking about the White Raven Chamber of Commerce case, does Malfoy know about it?
If he knew, was it because of his instructions or because Foster had a guilty conscience?
I cannot ask Malfoy about this matter for the time being.
He decided to put Foster aside for a while and asked Ben to pay more attention to Clinton Foster and see what cases he had taken on recently.
The next morning Sirius came back from Grimmauld Place, carrying a leather-bound notebook with a cover that was almost falling apart.
"I looked through it all night, and there are indeed records about alchemy equipment in Black family's collection of books." Sirius spread the notes on Lin Ze's table and turned to one of the pages.
"There was someone in my great-great-grandfather's generation who was obsessed with alchemy and kept a lot of notes on dangerous items circulating on the black market. Three of the items on the Carl list are recorded in this notebook."
Lin Ze looked down at the yellowed paper.
The handwriting is scrawled, and there are a few crooked diagrams drawn next to it.
"These three things have one thing in common." Sirius's finger crossed those lines.
"They all need to be 'fed' with wizard magic on a regular basis, otherwise the equipment itself will gradually become ineffective. In other words, whoever holds these things in their hands must continuously supply magic power, otherwise these things are no different from ordinary iron tools."
Lin Ze raised his head. "You mean, if Weil still has goods on hand, then whoever has these goods is consuming a lot of magic power?"
"Yes. And this kind of consumption is not something that ordinary wizards can bear. It is impossible for a businessman like Weil to raise these things by himself. He must have a person or place who is responsible for 'feeding' them."
Lin Ze Turn the note to the next page.
Sirius's great-great-grandfather wrote a note at the end of the record, to the effect that he had seen two of these things, one was bought on the black market of Knockturn Alley, and the other was taken away by an organization called "Ouroboros".
"Ouroboros?" Lin Ze read the word again.
"I haven't heard of it either." Sirius shrugged.
"But there is an address on the last page of this notebook. It's a warehouse on the seaside at Cornwall. My great-great-grandfather marked it as 'Ouroboros'. I don't know if it's still there now."
Lin Ze Copy the address.
Cornwall seaside, the same coastline as Tintagel.
He remembered the scenes he had seen behind the Tintagel arch, the space connected to Gate of Death, and what Morgana had said.
Could it be that... Shedding Gods was not completely eliminated by himself?
Shedding Gods itself is an older existence than Elf Race. If there is a warehouse organized by Ouroboros over Cornwall, will the things stored in it be related to Shedding Gods?
"It seems that we need to ask Grot to check the current property registration of the address Cornwall." Lin Ze said to Sirius.
"You want to make a trip yourself?"
"First check the property rights. If necessary, you must go there in person. If not, then at least you know how many times this place has changed hands."
Sirius nodded and left.
Lin Ze After returning the notes, I sat in the office for a while and reorganized a few lines in my mind.
White Raven Chamber of Commerce This line is broken, but the underground network that Weil has been operating for more than ten years cannot only have this little thing.
The three instruments Carl deduced from the sources of alchemical items, plus the "Ouroboros" organization recorded in Sirius's great-grandfather's notes, together explain at least one thing - in addition to the Greengrass Family and White Raven Chamber of Commerce, Britain Wizarding World There are other organizations operating businesses related to wizard body tissues.
And there are probably people behind these organizations who are systematically collecting Dark Magic items for unknown purposes.
He remembered what Tom Riddle said in his diary before - "For example, some cursed alchemy items need to be eaten regularly."
Lin Ze always thought that it was just a possibility that Tom mentioned casually. But what if this is not a possibility, but something that is happening?
Someone is collecting Horcrux.
Voldemort's Horcrux is more than just the diary. Lin Ze only knows the locket, the gold cup, Diadem, the ring, the snake, and the Harry Potter book After the fall of Voldemort, these Horcrux were scattered everywhere, and most of them are still in their original hiding spots. If anyone knows where these hiding spots are, and is collecting them one by one...
Lin Ze's fingers stopped on the table.
He needs to confirm one thing.
He took out the silver badge and injected it with magic power.
"What's going on?" Rodna's voice came out, and there seemed to be wind in the background.
"Let me ask you something, when your father was active in Europe, had he ever heard of an organization called 'Ouroboros'?"
