Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 19 Returning Disappointed

"I'm afraid they are all gone, right?"

Lu Ke's eyes swept across the small town that had long since declined. What he could see here was a desolation that was no longer glorious. If the people Voldemort knew when he was still in the orphanage were still here, then they might not be living a very good life.

Watson walked towards the intersection on one side: "Actually, that's not the case. They have already started a family and started a business when they stayed here. The young people in the family have already gone out to work. The old people who stayed here are also living well, but they just don't want to leave their homeland."

Lu Ke followed Watson to the intersection with a complicated expression, and then turned into an alley.

"Although I already knew that you wouldn't tell me anything about that person, I still have to ask, is that person a sociopath lunatic?"

Watson's question made Lu Ke silent for a moment, but he finally nodded.

"So he really is..."

"Have you ever heard of the family of origin theory?"

Lu Ke shook his head.

Watson sighed as he walked: "All human characters are acquired. Even those children who don't seem to be good people since childhood are because they learned a lot from their parents when people thought they were ignorant. The bad things are not their own fault.”

"So, there are no born sociopath lunatics in the world, there are only poor children who failed to escape from the lunatic in time."

Lu Ke glanced at Watson with a complicated expression.

"It's a shame I didn't hear those words from you sooner."

Watson shook his head: "Does it matter?"

"A madman has already killed someone. Does saying these words prevent him from being put on trial?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "That lunatic once had a teacher who thought it was all his responsibility. He was so old that he only had a few days left to live, and he was tortured because of guilt."

Watson casually stopped in front of a house: "Teacher? Then he has lived to be a hundred years old, right?"

Lu Ke nodded: "That's right."

Watson knocked on the door: "If that's the case, then he will spend at least sixty or seventy years blaming himself for the rest of his life. How pitiful."

Lu Ke was about to speak but stopped.

Because the door is already open.

Standing behind the door was an old man with a very unhappy expression. He was very weak, his hair was all white, and he was leaning on a cane. He was very weak.

"Oh, it's you."

But the old man knew Watson, and he reluctantly opened the door and let the two of them enter the room, while staring at Lu Ke with a vicious look.

Watson smiled and took out a bottle of wine from his pocket.

"For you, Billy."

All the dissatisfaction and hostility on the old man's face disappeared instantly.

He took the bottle, raised his head and took a big sip.

"Ah...this thing never fails to make me happy."

The old man seemed to have gained endless strength. He walked in front of the two people with the completely opposite agility from before and fell on the sofa.

"Maybe."

"You know, at that time, although the nun in charge of the orphanage hated him, the two female students who helped liked him because he was very good-looking."

Watson started to speak cautiously: "Do you know what secret base he has?"

Billy smiled and shook his head: "Secret base? No, no, no, he doesn't need a secret base. Wherever he is, no one dares to go in. Even if the nuns go in, they won't find anything."

Watson sensed a hint of something bad.

"Is it really... not at all?"

Billy shook his head: "Where can he go?"

"What does he have to hide?"

As he spoke, the old man took another big gulp.

"I was adopted from an orphanage when I was six years old. He was thrown at the door of the orphanage right after he was born. He doesn't need secrets."

Billy smiled: "He didn't hide from others at all when he bullied us."

Watson knew the conversation had to end.

She stood up and said, "I'm sorry for reminding you of these unhappy things. It's time for me to go."

Billy nodded: "Although I don't like your question, if there is wine next time, I will open the door for you."

Watson smiled and nodded, and then walked out of the room with Lu Ke.

"What exactly went wrong..."

Lu Ke shook his head: "I'm afraid it's from my side."

He raised his right hand, and the little man in the bottle appeared out of thin air.

"That Billy didn't lie, and he didn't forget."

The villain shook his head with a disappointed look on his face: "That's all he knows. Tom Riddle really has no secrets in the orphanage."

Lu Ke nodded.

Although things didn't go according to plan, he wasn't too disappointed.

In fact, Voldemort is a master at hiding secrets, and it is just a delusion to hope that it will be so easy to find the Horcrux he used all his wisdom to hide.

Watson smiled and waved at the villain: "Don't take it too seriously, we have another clue."

The little man in the bottle disappeared expressionlessly.

Lu Ke nodded: "Where did she go in the end?"

Watson smiled: "Where else could it be."

Lu Ke understood.

"London……"

After all, it was the largest city in Anglicis.

They got on the train together in the small town and rushed to London.

Watson sat opposite Lu Ke on the way, and there were only two of them in the whole carriage.

"So your girlfriend can also see through other people's thoughts. Is she a mind reader?"

Lu Ke nodded helplessly.

Watson looked behind him carefully.

There was no one there.

She turned around and looked at Lu Ke: "Bill said that the kid named Tom Riddle will have super powers."

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh: "You know if I tell the truth, someone will rush over to erase your memory."

Watson smiled with surprise: "So it's true!"

Lu Ke nodded silently.

He knew that he couldn't hide it from Watson for too long. This was a private detective who easily made people relax their vigilance, but she was worthy of the name of the strongest among the Anglicans.

Watson let out a long sigh: "I don't want any reward. Are you willing to accept my commission?"

"The reward is a relationship with a special person, which you will never expect!"

Lu Ke did not hesitate and nodded directly.

"I accept it, but I've been in trouble lately. You know it's impossible for me to accept your commission."

Watson nodded: "Of course, special people will not take action casually, but they can solve all problems with one action. I know many such people."

Lu Ke looked out the window in silence.

Watson also looked out at the passing wasteland.

"No one in the world can hide a secret, because as long as people live, they will continue to leave traces and no one can stop it."

Lu Ke nodded: "Fortunately, I don't have any secrets to hide."
