Chapter 349: Different Thoughts
Dumbledore and Snape remained silent until Minister Bones was moved and said that they should choose a site to rebuild the laboratory right away.
Almost the moment these words came out——
They coughed dryly and snorted coldly.
Dumbledore couldn't imagine how many things Jian Yu would do to make a hole in the sky if he continued to leave her outside!
Almost immediately after he saw the shape of Peter Pettigrew's body and the broken wand in the ruins, he realized -
This was a murder disguised as an accident!
The secret of Pettigrew's being in Snape's house at Spinner's End was known only to him and Jane, besides Voldemort...
And Snape would not expose himself voluntarily. All the clues related to Pettigrew's death pointed to Jane Yu, who had a grudge against him!
He would not simply believe the talk that Pettigrew and other Death Eaters attacked this place together. After all, he was the one who cast the Fidelius Charm himself, and only he knew the confidentiality of it.
The only way for the laboratory to be exposed is if the people inside it destroy the cursed house themselves.
Let the kept secret disappear directly into the world, and the spell will naturally be broken.
After analyzing layer by layer, there is only one truth——
This was an explosion that Jian Yu had planned for a long time and was deliberately created to target her enemy next door, Peter Pettigrew!
Dumbledore suddenly felt worried about Jian Yu.
He has always disdained such dishonorable means as murder. He insists on fighting fair and square and defeating his opponents.
But Jian Yu had no scruples about this. Not only did she commit the murder of Pettigrew, she also forced her enemy to release the Dark Mark before his death without any psychological burden, so as to disguise the scene as an accidental attack by Death Eaters!
What was even more terrifying was that her researchers had no objection to this. No one stood up to tell the truth. Everyone's face was filled with extreme admiration for Jian Yu and a fanaticism of faith... They performed in front of Bones... Their acting skills were perfect...
He had seen this kind of fanaticism in many members of the Witch Party and in some Death Eaters...
But today, he actually saw it in Jian Yu and her researchers!
Dumbledore didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt his chest was very blocked and he was having trouble breathing.
He knew that this was not only her conspiracy against Pettigrew, but also an open conspiracy against him and Snape.
For Snape, the dean of the college and his mentor, who had a close relationship with her, she not only killed his enemies for him, but the "trophies" of the Dark Mark and the tattered pieces of anti-curse garment also provided him with an excuse to cover up in front of the Dark Lord, killing two birds with one stone.
Snape had no reason to expose Jane Yu's actions to everyone, and he might even add fuel to the fire and secretly praise her for doing a good job.
As for Dumbledore himself, whether out of protection for his children, opposition to the Death Eaters, or to avoid infighting and adverse effects caused by challenging the Statute of Secrecy, he would never tell Bones the truth.
There were so many people who witnessed the incident...
She didn't use any spells, but she perfectly silenced every witness and buried the whole truth in the ruins.
She even led a group of researchers and transformed herself into heroes to fight against the Death Eaters!
Dumbledore was silent, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
This ability to manipulate people's hearts... this meticulous and ruthless style of doing things made him hallucinate many people...
He smelled the danger of walking on the edge of the cliff... and he was even more ashamed of his reaction...
Because after figuring out what happened, my first reaction was not to tell the truth...
——But how to cover up for her.
He was very familiar with this feeling. When he was obsessed with family affection... or past love, he would fall into a vicious circle of selective blindness.
That was the poison wrapped in honey that he had eaten and the trap covered with flowers that he had stepped into.
His intuition had long outstripped his reason, constantly ringing alarm bells in his mind.
He didn't know if this was a time for her to take advantage of him, using the name of family affection to numb him and thus blind her eyes.
But his years of experience and past experiences told him that he should not continue to question Jian Yu's motives, and he should not take it for granted that the losses he suffered from others should be transferred to his children.
She just trusted them... She just wanted to vent their anger on the Death Eater Pettigrew... She was even willing to destroy her own foundation...
Maybe he was just imagining things.
Dumbledore, who had been thinking for a long time, shook his head to even out the thoughts in his brain and come back to his senses.
But no matter what, he couldn't let Jian Yu continue to get into trouble outside!
He didn't want this kid to explode everywhere he went and take away the law of confidentiality along with him!
Dumbledore coughed and interrupted Minister Bones's proposal to rebuild the laboratory. He quickly found a reason and said firmly:
"No, no, Amelia, it's not safe!"
...
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
Minister Bones seemed to wake up from a dream, came back to his senses from his conversation with Jian Yu, and noticed Dumbledore's presence.
She wisely swallowed back the words "Albus, you are still here" that were about to come out of her mouth, and cast a puzzled look at him.
Dumbledore calmly told a lie that he himself did not believe:
"Since the Death Eaters attacked here, it means that they have mastered some way to break through the protective spell and tracked this area... The laboratory is no longer safe."
"The Ministry of Magic cannot be without anti-curse clothing." Bones frowned and pointed out the key point. "Yu can direct everyone to produce, which is crucial. We can change a location to use as a laboratory and separate the factory and the laboratory to avoid being attacked at the same time."
Dumbledore used his eloquence to persuade with earnest words:
"Even if we change the location of the laboratory, it is only a temporary solution. The Ministry of Magic needs to catch the internal informant first to ensure safety."
But Bones refused to give in. She argued with reason, and her voice gradually became louder:
"No one can guarantee absolute safety during this special period. It is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to stop operating and the Aurors to stop arresting Death Eaters just because a whistleblower appears. I can only say that I will send people to protect the researchers as much as possible."
As the tide rose, Dumbledore's voice gradually rose a little:
"But this incident proves that the speed at which the Aurors in the vicinity can arrive is not enough for them to join the battle, and the Ministry of Magic still lacks sufficient manpower."
Both sides held their own views and the argument became fierce.
The topic of their debate gradually extended from the location of the laboratory to whether the laboratory should be rebuilt to whether Jian Yu should return to campus.
Seeing that Dumbledore and Bones were arguing with each other, the situation was deadlocked for a while.
