Seeing Dumbledore's actions, Murphy knew that he had seen through his trick again.

If I had known that Dumbledore was coming, I would have brought the real diary!

This so-called "Dark Lord's Diary" was naturally forged by Murphy.

After all, it is quite difficult to verify the crimes of reporting Lucius through a real notebook. When Tom Riddle wrote that diary, he had no idea that a guy named Lucius Malfoy would follow him in the future. Own.

His "fire-revealing" tricks were just to confuse the audience - if the contents of a Dark Lord's notebook could be viewed by just "emerging", it would be a bit ridiculous. Instead, it was roasted with fire. This method breaks through the thinking of wizards.

And his behavior of wearing gloves highlights the danger of the notebook.

After all, the Dark Lord's things wouldn't make sense if they didn't have some curse on them.

But none of that matters now.

Dumbledore has verified that there is no dark magic in this notebook.

"A friend gave it to me. He got it from the Malfoy cellar." Murphy continued to lie.

"Is it convenient to reveal this friend's name?" Dumbledore asked.

"He calls himself Tony Wayne," Murphy joked, "but I guess it's a fake name. He doesn't trust the Ministry of Magic and has been fighting crime in secret."

Dumbledore naturally didn't know the significance of the name of the Iron Man-Batman hybrid. He thought for a while and said: "Based on my understanding of the mysterious man, it is unlikely that he would leave such detailed evidence. If there is, If it is necessary to stay, then we will definitely provide heavy protection.”

"This notebook may not be from the mysterious man himself." Dumbledore said, "However, we cannot ignore the information revealed in it. I think we should restart the investigation of Crabbe, Goyle, Karkaroff and others. trial."

After the judges talked for a while, they all expressed their support for Dumbledore's judgment.

"Mr. Murphy, do you have any other evidence to add?" Dumbledore asked.

"No more, Professor."

"Lucius, even if this notebook does not belong to the Dark Lord, your crime of hiding a large number of dark magic items has just been confirmed through Dobby. Do you have anything to refute?"

"I...those...those are inconspicuous things. They are some items passed down from ancestors. I don't know their specific uses! Moreover! They have been destroyed and burned in the fierce fire! And the one who set the fire That guy is Murphy Darkholm! Dumbledore, it’s him you should judge! Not me!”

"It sounds like we should be grateful to Mr. Murphy for contributing to the safety of wizarding society." Dumbledore joked.

"Thank you? He burned my home! Killed my friends! He almost killed me!" Lucius screamed out of control, "He was violating the Wizarding Secrecy! Did you hear what I was saying? !”

Dumbledore looked at Murphy: "Lucius has accused you of multiple crimes including arson, murder and breach of confidentiality. Do you have anything to explain about this? Mr. Murphy?"

"No professor, I think this despicable guy Lucius just made up these lies out of insidious revenge and some business competition considerations. He wants to kill me!"

Things have come to this point. Although it is not the best result and Lucius is not sent directly, it is still within Murphy's script.

Although reporting Lucius was a ruthless move, in fact, Murphy did not necessarily want it to be successful. This move was actually just a preliminary step to exonerate himself later.

"Lucius, you despicable Death Eater! You're a mouthful of scum! Merlin's shit soup comes out of his bad stomach!" Murphy was suddenly filled with righteous indignation. He looked at everyone at the trial, "Everyone! Everyone in your hearts We all know! Who is Lucius! You all know that he is a Death Eater! You all know what he did with Voldemort in those years!"

"Everyone! If you let this devil go again today, one day you will be ashamed of your actions! I sincerely hope that you will not leave any stain on your conscience!"

"Deceive the public with nonsense! You have no evidence! Your evidence is all false! Don't listen to his instigation! I'm not guilty! I'm innocent!" Lucius saw the matter and ran to judge himself again , and shouted loudly.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Dumbledore had to speak again, interrupting the exchange of insults between the two.

He glanced at Murphy, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts, and the latter looked at him without fear.

Professor, what are you hesitating about?

You know Lucius is a Death Eater, and today is the best and last chance to bring him to justice!

So what if the evidence is false?

Do we need to pay attention to procedural justice when dealing with enemies? !

The gaze seemed to be extremely long, and it seemed to be just a moment. Dumbledore withdrew his gaze. He raised his hand and looked at the trial seat. "I think we can now make a verdict on Lucius's retrial. I think Lucius If you are innocent, please raise your hands."

Among the more than fifty judges, only a dozen or so raised their hands.

Lucius' face darkened, "No, I'm not guilty! I'm not guilty!"

"If you think Lucius is a Death Eater, please raise your hands."

Contrary to Lucius's expectation, only a dozen people raised their hands this time.

Dumbledore looked at it and asked again, "If you think Lucius is guilty but not a Death Eater, please raise your hands."

This time more than twenty hands were raised.

"Please put it down." Dumbledore looked at Lucius. "There is insufficient evidence for your Death Eater accusation, but the jury believes that you have still committed crimes in concealing dark magic items. You will be fined five thousand A fine of 1,000 galleons and three months' imprisonment in Azkaban."

"What? No!" Lucius was furious, "You can't do this to me!"

He glared at everyone, and finally looked at Murphy, "What about him? Why don't you try him? I have evidence!"

At this time, Murphy paid no attention to his roar, but looked at Dumbledore, "You haven't expressed your opinion just now, Professor."

However, Dumbledore did not answer, but looked at Lucius, "What evidence do you have to prove the accusation you just made?"

"I have it! I have it!" Lucius said, "There is a wand in my pocket. It belongs to the attacker and was seized by me."

He looked at Murphy, "You must not have expected that your wand was not burned! And I even got it!"

He said, cheering up, and waited until the judge found the wand from Lucius's belongings on the side and placed it on the rostrum. He looked at the judge's seat and said, "This is the attacker's wand! Just use Flash on it." Return the spell and see what it did to my house!”

"And I have witnesses who can prove that this wand belongs to Murphy Darkholm!"
