[Comprehensive] Captive villain BOSS

Sherlock is the kind of person who is inherently conspicuous.Regardless of appearance and personality, his aura is always out of tune with his surroundings, sharp, stubborn and aggressive.Because of his superior intelligence and strong self-confidence, he can always easily make others feel almost crushed - even now that he is shrunk in his 11-year-old body, this aura has not weakened in the slightest.

Moriarty, by comparison, is much less impressive.He looks no different from an ordinary freshman, except that his facial features are a bit delicate, his body is a little weak, and he is very studious at first glance.When he stood next to Sherlock and deliberately restrained his aura, almost no one noticed the freshman who walked in with Sherlock.Even if he spoke a few times, it was only used as a teleprompter and was quickly forgotten.

Except for probably Draco and Moody, everyone subconsciously saw Moriarty as Sherlock's foil.Or to put it more nicely, an assistant.So when Moriarty suddenly raised an objection and overturned Sherlock's conclusion, everyone who was shocked by Sherlock's reasoning immediately focused their attention on Moriarty, wondering what he would say What.

"...Mr. Principal..." Moriarty murmured timidly, as if he was a little frightened by these gazes, and his face showed bewilderment.

McGonagall looked at Dumbledore.Dumbledore took off his glasses, wiped them with a dark purple velvet cloth, and put them back on again: "Mr. Moriarty...you say you can prove Professor Moody's innocence?"

"I...I don't know, Mr. Headmaster," Moriarty stammered, a flush of embarrassment appearing on his face, "but...but, I think I can prove that Professor Moody doesn't have that... The time of the crime. Because, if Pritchard was killed around two o'clock in the morning, when Professor Moody was in his own office..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Dumbledore looked at Moriarty and asked kindly, "How can you be sure of that, Mr. Moriarty?"

Moriarty glanced at Snape, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly: "I...I borrowed a book from the library...it tells some knowledge about potions...I'm familiar with one of the potions I am very interested, but there is no detailed description in that book... I heard that there are usually materials in the restricted area for high-level potions like this, but I don't think I will get the professor's signature, so... In the middle of the night, I sneaked out."

His voice is getting lower and lower.Snape couldn't help but snorted coldly.He seemed to want to make some venomous remarks, but considering the current environment, he held back.

"Because I don't know much about the environment, I got lost in the restricted area." As if because Snape wasn't harsh, Moriarty mustered up a little courage, and his voice became much calmer, "I walked into a room by accident , I saw a mirror inside..."

Everyone didn't understand why Moriarty mentioned the mirror, only Dumbledore's expression was a bit stunned: "Mirror... yes, then what?"

"I saw something impossible from inside." Moriarty whispered, "I thought I encountered some dangerous magic item, because someone told me that something that can see through your mind is scary... So I backed up and bumped into a guy. The guy was wearing an invisibility cloak, and I almost screamed. He stopped me, and then... I found out it was Harry Potter."

Professor McGonagall clearly showed confusion in his expression.Dumbledore encouraged: "You did the right thing. And then, Mr. Moriarty?"

"He asked me why I appeared here, and we talked for a while." Moriarty's voice returned to normal, and he boldly raised his head to look at Dumbledore, "Then he suddenly asked me to keep my voice down, because Phil Chi is coming... We were in the cloak and he showed me the Marauder's Map and told me it was made by his father and his friends. There are some names on the Marauder's Map and we have to avoid the talents of the event Enron returned to the dormitory, but there were very few people involved, and I saw Professor Moody's name staying in his office on the third floor..."

"But—why did you notice Professor Moody's name?" asked an Auror. "Isn't that strange?"

"Probably because I just finished my confinement with Professor Moody." Moriarty said, "He is the professor I have spent the longest time with so far. Of course I will notice his name."

Dumbledore glanced at Sherlock thoughtfully, and then asked Moriarty, "So Harry also saw Professor Moody's name?"

Moriarty nodded.Snape's face was gloomy: "Principal, since Potter violated the rules and wandered around the school all night, he must know who stayed in the dormitory in the middle of the night..."

"—that's right, Severus," said Dumbledore quickly, "that's what I was thinking too. Call Mr Potter over, Minerva, if you please. Make sure he brings his live map."

Professor McGonagall was out.

The room was quiet for a few seconds, and Lucius suddenly said lazily: "In this case, principal, if my son is proved innocent, what kind of explanation do you plan to give me?"

Draco looked at his father almost in amazement.

"Don't jump to conclusions, Lucius." Dumbledore said calmly, "You have already heard Mr. Holmes' analysis, even if you extract the memory and reproduce it, it may not be more accurate than this. Why do we Why not wait till the end?"

"You are the one who draws conclusions, Dumbledore!" Lucius said sternly, "You called my son over and put a charge on his head, and convicted him based on the so-called analysis of an 11-year-old boy. But there's no real evidence—"

"—As long as all the impossibilities are ruled out, the only remaining option is the final truth." Sherlock said with a deadpan expression.Lucius gave him a hard look: "Shut up, kid—"

"Lucius!" Dumbledore raised his voice and looked straight at him sharply. "If you are not satisfied with Mr. Holmes' reasoning, we can also use other more secure and direct methods."

Lucius closed his mouth angrily.

Moriarty deliberately moved towards Draco, tugged at his sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Draco, are you angry with me?"

Draco said bluntly: "You'd better not talk to a person who is to be punished."

Moriarty blinked, with a disappointed expression: "Don't be like this, Draco, I believe you are innocent. You are the best person to me since I entered Slytherin..."

The vague eyes that lingered on Moriarty gradually faded away.Moriarty's performance is impeccable, he looks like a freshman who doesn't know much about the world...

Moriarty moved his fingers, took the opportunity to stuff something into Draco's sleeve, and chirped with many questions: "...Draco, yesterday's afternoon tea was so good, I like that relative Wind cake...Draco, can you lend me your book? It's "Hogwarts - Mysteries You Don't Know"...Draco, today's "Prophet Have you read the Daily? There are always a lot of interesting content appearing on it these days..."

Draco's eyes were a little dilated, and he couldn't help but glance at Moriarty, and then he clenched the thing tightly without saying a word.At this time, Professor McGonagall led Harry to open the door of the principal's office, and Moriarty took the opportunity to end the topic and returned to Sherlock.

Sherlock's lips twitched: "What do you want to do?"

"Make the game more difficult, Sherlock." Moriarty replied cheerfully.

He noticed that Draco was already standing beside Lucius, and quietly handed the things in his hand to his father.It was a newspaper, the latest issue of the Daily Prophet.

Dumbledore questioned Harry about what Moriarty had said.Harry said everything he knew with some trepidation.He did go out for a night out last night, and he did see Moody's name in his office at the time, but the others didn't notice.But coincidentally, his night tour is precisely because of Moody.In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Moody mentioned those wizards who were brutally murdered by dark wizards, and used them as examples to state the three unforgivable curses. Harry thought of his parents because of this, and was sad for a long time.He met Moody the next night, and the two talked for a while in Moody's office. Moody enlightened him that he could use some good memories to dispel the shadows, so Harry first went to the Erised demon he had seen before. Mirror, insomnia in the middle of the night, went to the library to try his luck.

In this way, the questions start to contradict each other.Moody unexpectedly had an ironclad proof of his alibi, but the reason why Draco murdered Pritchard is indispensable... And if the person who killed Pritchard in the end was not Moody, According to Sherlock's reasoning, it must be another professor.But the professors in the school all know the basics and have been with each other for many years. It is impossible for them to have a murderer who did such a thing...

Things are starting to get a headache.Obviously, if this stalemate continues, the Aurors will eventually use Veritaserum.

But Dumbledore still began to doubt Moody, and it was even because of this perfect alibi that he became suspicious of Moody.It was such a coincidence, why Harry met Moody at that time, accepted his enlightenment, and then went to the library according to the prompt...

Lucius' expression began to relax.He stared at the newspaper in his hand, suddenly sneered, and shook the page with his hands: "—there is nothing to say, Dumbledore, the whole wizarding world knows what's going on...you read today The Daily Prophet?"
