The four deans held crystal balls in their hands and stood near the end of the long table. They first asked the prefects of each college to come over and asked them if they were Death Eaters, and then asked them to stand near the door.

Then, four tables of students, starting from the first grade, were called one by one in alphabetical order by last name and asked if they were Death Eaters, and then arranged to stand near the door.

And so on, until the fourth year was called, a Hufflepuff student finally made some strange move, but before she could put her right hand into the inner pocket of her robe, a stun spell knocked her out.

The students around her wanted to disperse, but were stopped by the nearby Auror, who forced them to maintain their original sitting position, leaving the unconscious student lying on the long table and passed out.

"Miss Parkinson, are you a Death Eater or working for the mysterious man's forces?" Snape asked with a cold face.

Pansy Parkinson was so nervous that her legs trembled, and she pretended to be calm and said, "I'm not."

The crystal ball in Snape's hand lit up.

Two nearby Black Kyrgyz Aurors immediately shot magic ropes to tie her up, and also used the "Langlock" to make her tongue stick to the roof of her mouth, preventing her from speaking out in defense.

Soon, the results of the investigation came out. Five students made unusual moves at the long table and were knocked unconscious. Four students lit up the crystal ball when they denied their identity as Death Eaters.

The crystal ball is a magical item used by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to initially identify the credibility of confessions. It is also the legendary polygraph ball.

When Taylor and Holly held a meeting with Umbridge on behalf of the Muggle authorities, Chen Bin had seen the pink witch use this prop to detect their credibility. At that time, Chen Bin transformed into Yuan Fang and was attacked by the witch. Often ask: "Is that so, Mr. Naama?"

Basically, as long as you use this tool to ask for complete and detailed affirmative sentences, and the other party can only answer yes or no, the accuracy rate is infinitely close to 100%.

This cannot rule out that Occlumency masters such as Lao Deng, Voldemort, Snape and Chen Bin can deceive the crystal ball, but when used to deal with students who have never seen the world, it is equivalent to 100% accuracy.

This thing can only be purchased and authorized to be produced by the Ministry of Magic, and it must be registered and marked with a serial number. It is not like a memory ball that turns red when the owner forgets it, which can be purchased and manufactured casually.

Since this thing has been invented a long time ago, and it is a controlled product, the Naima family has never studied it, so they can only borrow four polygraph balls from Fudge to investigate Death Eaters.

Chen Bin didn't use this thing before because he was at odds with Fudge, and the right to allocate this item lies with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement under Minister Fudge.

The next process is very simple. The prefect of the same gender is responsible for searching, and the professor is responsible for testing the magic items found.

Only two of the nine people carried dark magic items with them, so they led student representatives and Aurors at all levels to search their dormitories and found many tools that could be used to commit crimes, some of which could be mixed into poison. Herbs, some parts of black magic items, some pens and papers that can send letters from a distance, mirrors and other props that normal students should not have.

According to Chen Bin's experience in investigating crimes in his previous life, even if they are suspects, finding these tools cannot prove that they are the murderers, because the parts held by each person are not lethal and are not products prohibited by law. They need to be combined together. It becomes a murder tool, and the communication equipment needs to have a criminal record to be considered as evidence.

Except for Pansy Parkinson, the other eight people are students whose names are not even mentioned in the original work.

They were all students from fourth to seventh grade, distributed among the four houses, and only Parkinson, the hidden Death Eater, was found among Slytherin.

Professor McGonagall was very worried about this. If it was taken seriously, the nine people should be sent to Azkaban and imprisoned. However, since they were students and did not have time to commit the crime, the acting principal did not know what to do.

"Professor McGonagall, being a student cannot be used as a defense for immunity from criminal responsibility." Chen Bin and McGonagall went to the room at the back of the auditorium to hold a small meeting, while the other professors and Aurors conducted secondary inspections of the students. .

Chen Bin felt that McGonagall tended to treat these students leniently, but this was not compatible with Chen Bin's philosophy.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Katerina walked over with a solemn face and whispered: "We also found three Death Eater students, one of whom is Alia Spinnet."

"Spinnett?" Chen Bin checked the student list in his mind, and finally thought that she was the chaser of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, a seventh-grade Indian girl.

He looked at Mag. Her face turned even paler, and her mouth moved a few times, but she didn't speak.

In the original book, this girl participated in the D.A. held by Harry and Hermione; in reality, she was considered a Gryffindor with excellent morals and academics.

Now that the investigation continues, she has become a Death Eater student.

Chen Bin looked at the checklist. The girl answered many questions but the crystal ball did not light up until she was asked: Has anyone asked you to assist the dark wizard in plotting against Hogwarts? The crystal ball lit up after she answered no. .

The Aurors then came up with another list of questions, asking that she had been asked by her father to assist the Death Eater students in smuggling regulated items into the castle, and was now being controlled by the Aurors.

"Bring her here." Professor McGonagall's face looked quite ugly, and she waited quietly for Aria Spinnet to be escorted into the room.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Naama." Spinnet was tied up with magic ropes, with some tears on his face. He lowered his head and did not dare to look into their eyes.

"Why did you do this? Did you know that Harry was almost burned to death, and you were one of the accomplices. Do you deserve the trust between teammates?" McGonagall asked with a livid face.

Spinnet was pressed on the shoulders by two female Aurors, his head lowered and he did not dare to speak.

"Are you having any difficulties?" Chen Bin asked gently.

no answer.

"Is there any relative in the family who is controlled by a mysterious person?"

no answer.

"Did some Death Eater relatives die in the battle?"

no answer.

Chen Bin patiently asked a lot of questions, but Alia Spinnet kept her head lowered and did not speak.

"Did you know that if you carry this alone, the highest punishment is to be kissed by a dementor?" Chen Bin's last words scared her to the point of trembling.

"The Dementors have been sealed away by the Ministry of Magic," Alia Spinnet whispered.

"We just don't let them guard Azkaban. They can still bring a Dementor as a tool when they need to carry out the sentence." Chen Bin was not trying to scare, uh, it was really threatening now, but the Department of Defense and The Wizengamot really has the power to use the sealed dementors.

It didn't take long for him to scare Alia Spinnet before he told her the whole story.

Her uncle died as a Death Eater in the battle to resurrect Voldemort, and her parents were very sad about it.

During the Christmas break, she had guests at home and asked her parents to let her take a bag of things back to school and put them in the cluttered room in the Room of Requirement.

She did so, but only after Harry was killed did it occur to her that these items might be related to Harry's murder. She believed that Death Eaters were hateful, but their crimes did not lead to death. They should be tried by the Wizengamot and then sent to Azkaban instead of killing them on the battlefield.

Chen Bin had a headache, and the experiences of the next two students were similar to Alia Spinnet's. Their parents were entrusted by their friends to send parts of crime tools to the castle.

"Naama, do you still want to insist on punishing these students severely?" Professor McGonagall left these words and walked out of the room, leaving Chen Bin to recover from his headache.

"Bin, what should I do?" Katerina came in with a thick confession, which was full of evidence of the students' crimes, and there were no new suspects.

"Binbin, do you really plan to capture them all and put them all in Azkaban?" Isha, who only knew how to watch aggressively, asked while eating melon.

Eating melon is not an adjective, she is really eating watermelon.

"Mother! I don't deserve this bad position anymore!" As soon as Chen Bin finished speaking, the White Devil flashed in the room for half a second and took Chen Bin away with him.

That evening, the Hogwarts Evening News was delayed by another two hours before reaching readers.

This time, the headlines reported that parents of students used their children to help Death Eaters destroy Hogwarts, and even plotted to carry out large-scale massacres.

All the students involved have been controlled by the school, and their parents have been arrested by the Ministry of Magic and scheduled to stand trial in the Wizengamot.

Hogwarts conducted a seven-hour dormitory search that night, confiscated all magical items and herbs without reasonable explanation, and also prohibited students from using any communication items other than owl messages, even if Hermione had a short The information machine was also confiscated by Isabel.

As compensation, the Financial Secretary promised to allocate no less than one million gold galleons every year in the future to allow students to use a fixed amount of parchment, stationery, clothes, herbs for classroom use, related textbooks and other miscellaneous expenses free of charge. However, students are strictly prohibited from doing so themselves. Bring the above items and any unlicensed magic items.

That is to say, Hogwarts has become a completely free magic school. Even the daily consumables and clothes of students are covered, but students are prohibited from bringing any undeclared items, even a blank sheet. Paper.

All packages sent by Owl will be inspected before they can be released. Things sent from home or ordered by mail need to be declared before they can be used by students.

Although this is a waste of time and money, it really completely eliminates the possibility of students carrying dangerous items.

The utility room in the Room of Requirement was cleaned out by the Auror Corps. It took nearly a week and countless invalid dark magic items were found, proving that there were unruly wizards among students throughout the ages.

As for the nine Death Eater students and three support staff, after discussions between the school, the Department of Defense and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, they were allowed to choose whether to take the case to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to be scheduled to go to court, or to voluntarily wear the An irremovable tracking necklace.

The eleven people also had normal thinking, so they all put on their necklaces obediently and signed a pledge not to violate any magical laws within ten years, otherwise they would be immediately sentenced to Azkaban.

In fact, there are no such rules in the magical world. Chen Bin referred to the "Binding over" system of Muggle law, the concept of probation and Midea's GPS digital shackles (prisoners wearing trackers squat at home instead of going to jail) ), creating this kind of non-trivial conviction.
