Chapter 83 Private Detective

Just as the matter between Riddle and Snape reached a stalemate due to various parties' wrestling, an uninvited guest suddenly visited Potter's house.

"You—you—" James stared dumbfounded at the little man in front of him. Harry leaned forward with interest.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Harry Potter." The other party took off his hat and bowed, "Peter Pedillo, people in the circle call 'Wormtail', I am the most expensive private detective in the United States."

"What does a private detective do?" This was the first time in Harry's life that he saw a live detective. The Potters were stunned on the sofa with the same surprised expressions. Harry seemed to be the only one in the family whose brain was still working. .

"Simply put, I'm responsible for all the things the police can't do." Pedilu is obviously a person who doesn't like nonsense. He took out a cowhide envelope from his briefcase and pressed it on the coffee table of Potter's house. Something that will solve your troubles, James, how much are you going to pay me?"

He came here uninvited and asked for money, this guy is too thick-skinned!After silently complaining in the letter, Harry had to admit that if what Pedilu said was true, most of what he contained in that envelope was some evidence he had collected that could resolve the dispute, and this was exactly what they needed at the moment. of.

"How much do you want?" James asked after a moment's consideration. "I can pay you double—if you're not fooling me."

"Flicker? I, Wormtail, never do that kind of thing." Pedilu snorted coldly, his face sullen, but the next second, he laughed dramatically, and pushed the envelope towards James, " Come on, take it, it's my Christmas present to you."

But James waved his hand and refused: "It's business, I can't let you worry about it in vain."

"Okay," said Pedillo, smacking his lips, "I'll send you the bill. For now, though, we'd better see what's in it—Harry, as a child, do you want to avoid it? "

"I'm an adult!" Harry begged hastily before either James or Lily could tell him to leave. "Let me stay and listen! You all know I love being involved."

"Let him keep it." Lily supported him once in a while.James nodded submissively: "Tell me, Peter."

"Riddle was expelled from Hogwarts a few years ago because of a series of academic dishonesty. I believe everyone here is aware of this?" Pedilu took out a copy from a stack of papers, "This It’s a copy of the original report letter—don’t ask me where I got it, everyone in our business has their own way.”

Lily picked it up and looked at it, Harry glanced aside.This letter is typescript, very short, only half a sheet of paper.But since it can directly reduce Riddle from the son of Tianjiao to a street rat, the amount of information must be huge.

"Is there something strange about it?" Lily asked.

"The person who wrote it was Snape. In other words, he reported Riddle." While the three people on the opposite side were shocked again, Pedilu calmly presented his evidence one by one, "Snape once A member of Riddle's fake experimental group, and the only person in the group who was not injured and not punished by the school; Internet traces prove that the report letter was sent from a public computer, but the computer was used by Snape at the time. The account was unlocked; Snape repeatedly mentioned keywords such as 'report letter' and 'revenge' during his time in the mental hospital; after he was discharged from the hospital, he wrote many letters to your old address, Lily, in those letters he more than Once he admitted that it was Riddle who reported him, and said that this incident made him feel 'proved'... If Riddle knew that it was Snape who ruined his career back then, you think that with his character, this matter would How to develop?"

"A dog bites a dog," James said quickly.Lily, on the other hand, looked at the stack of evidence with a complicated expression on her face.

"Yes." Pedilu nodded, "Of course, you don't have to feel sorry, Lily, the letters he wrote to you are not all good. In fact, this guy is already a 'high-risk stalker' standards."

"I don't think it's a pity," Lily quickly clarified, "I just think it's pathetic for him...to prove himself in this way. Although he actually did the right thing, I can't understand his original intention of reporting Riddle."

——It turned out that it was just to win the favor of a girl.

Assuming Lily hadn't had a falling out with him before, would he still report it?not necessarily.

"These things can irritate Riddle and Bellatrix behind him, and clean up the dirty water Snape threw at me. But..."

Pediru seemed to see James' concern: "I suggest that you hand over the pile of letters he wrote to Lily to the police. First, apply for a restraining order so that he can never approach your family. Second, use these letters as evidence , indicating that Snape is still insane. This way, if he is not sent back to a mental hospital, he will be monitored."

After hearing these words, Harry completely cast his eyes on this unremarkable little man: "You are simply a genius, Mr. Pediru!"

"Indeed. I didn't think I would be a detective until I graduated from school, but now it seems... quite successful." Pedilu looked at the time, "Maybe I should leave."

"Maybe you should stay for a drink," James suggested.

"No, let's wait until you settle this matter." Pedilu refused politely, "I never have any personal interaction with my clients until the case is closed."

"You've become glib, Peter."

"It's called business." Pedilu threw back what James said not long ago, and handed over a business card, "If you have any needs, please feel free to contact me—Mr. Wormtail, walking in the black and white The boundary between white and white, crossing between day and night."

"You're terminally ill, Peter."

Harry returned to Hogwarts a few days later.

Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna and others swarmed up, everyone wanted to be the first to share with him the big news that happened in Hogwarts——

"Professor Dumbledore—"

"—Grindelwald—"

"—listen to me! Aberforth..."

"No no! Arianna! Let's talk about Arianna first!"

"Shut up, there must be a first-come, first-served story when telling a story!"

"Then why don't you prioritize?"

"Okay, everyone be quiet, I have something to announce." Harry waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. He threw his heavy schoolbag onto the chair and made a very shocking "bang".

"You brought us a present?" Ron was excited.

"No." Harry looked around seriously, and took out a thick book from his bag, "I solemnly swear in front of everyone today——I want to go to law school!"
