Chapter 207: The Secret Room in Knockturn Alley

After Sherlock left the Gringott, he turned around and walked into a remote alley.

He took off the mask on his face, then took out a bottle of disguise potion that had been cheated from Snape, poured it on his face, and pinched out an ordinary-looking middle-aged witch face.

Then he took out a wide black robe, put it on his body, and put on a hood, just like Shilk usually did, covering most of his face with the hood.

After getting everything ready, Sherlock walked out of the alley, first wandering around Diagon Alley for a while, and then came to a wall at the end of Diagon Alley.

He walked straight forward as if the wall did not exist.

The moment Sherlock contacted the wall, the entire wall was like a rippling water surface, causing a rippling ripples, but Sherlock had disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, his figure reappeared in a squat gray street.

This is a magical street similar to Diagon Alley, but the environment is particularly bad.

There is garbage everywhere on both sides of the road, and the surrounding buildings are also gray. Just looking at it will make people feel depressed.

There is a wooden signpost next to the road that marks the name of this magical street - Overturn Alley.

This is a street that is far less famous in the magic world than Diagon Alley, but basically every adult wizard knows.

All the shops here are doing business related to black magic, and the wizards who wander here all year round are basically dangerous people from the gray area.

Those who can become Death Eaters can be said to be all black wizards, but not everyone is a Death Eaters.

Diagon Alley is the gathering place for most non-Death Eater black wizards.

Sherlock ignored the shops showing various broken limbs and hands or withered heads in the windows, and walked towards the depths of the overturned alley with clear goals.

There are few pedestrians on this street, but almost everyone dresses like Sherlock, and there are a few who show up in public, all of whom are malicious and you can tell at a glance that they are not a good thing.

Near the end of the overturned alley, Sherlock stopped in front of a dilapidated house.

This is not a shop, but a house. This is a broken house bought by Sherlock a month ago.

Although the place where the Chung's alley is remote and the traffic is not large, it is worth every inch of land. Even in such a hidden place, a house covering an area of ​​less than 20 square meters still cost him nearly a thousand gallon.

Take out the key of the trait from your pocket and Sherlock opens the door to the house.

There is almost no furniture inside, and the walls and wooden floors are also dilapidated. It can be seen that the house has a very long history. If it is placed in the Muggle world, it may be considered a cultural relics.

There was a pile of debris piled up in the northwest corner of the room. Sherlock waved his hand and threw the messy old sofas, bad chairs, and bad tables on it to the side, leaving only a wooden cabinet that was old but still complete.

He opened the third drawer on the wooden cabinet, pulled out his magic wand and gently tapped it into the drawer. The entire wooden cabinet automatically split, revealing a small secret room behind it.

After the secret room was opened, a lot of messy things squeezed out from it.

The most conspicuous ones are a skull with a crown on its head and a dry arm. Even if the other items do not look so scary from the outside, they still don't look like something simple.

All of these were treasures identified by Sherlock from the Lestranger House vault and related to black magic.

He specially distinguished these things from normal treasures and bought this house for storage, while the others, the same priceless gold, silver and jewelry, were stored in the Gringotts in France.

Sherlock used his true identity to buy a vault in Gringott, France, specifically to store wealth transferred from the vault of the Lestrange family.

However, these related to black magic have extremely clear characteristics. To be on the safe side, he did not store them in the vault or take action at will.

Instead, it is placed here alone, and plans to pick out what may be useful from it, and the others will be destroyed.

After identifying the items related to the black magic brought out of the treasure this time, sherlock left the house after storing it in the secret room.

He arranged the protection measures for this house very well, and he was not afraid of anyone finding anything from here.

Just as he arranged everything, left the Chung-Up Alley with other treasures, returned to Diagonal Alley, and just took off his black robe and removed the disguise on his face, he met an acquaintance.

"Sherlock, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Looking at Kingsley who stopped to say hello to him, a smile appeared on Sherlock's face.

"I haven't been away from school for a long time. I'll buy some things that I might use from the next semester."

Kingsley and Sherlock are old acquaintances. After investigating the case of the straw man attack together last year, the relationship between the two has been very good.

Including the ticket to the Quidditch World Cup that will be held in the UK soon, he also gave it to Sherlock.

Kingsley did not wear the Auror Command uniform today, so it was obvious that he was not in Diagon Alley for official business.

"Sometimes I really envy you." Kingsley said with a wry smile. "There are many holidays every year, which is much easier than when I was an Auror."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows and walked side by side with him.

"Stop coming, you're on vacation now, too?"

"This month is only one day to rest. Not only me, but the entire Auror Command will be very busy."

"Because the Quidditch World Cup will be held next?"

Kingsley shook his head.

"Not only that, the Prophet Daily has not reported this incident, but it is not a secret. In the Ministry of Magic, an employee of the Magic Sports Division named Bertha Joggins disappeared. At first we just thought that the woman who was usually a little stupid and liked to meddle in other people's business was lost somewhere, but until now she still didn't show up, it was obvious that something was wrong."
