HP's Foreign Land

This morning, he participated in the interrogation of two experts who stole the dragon egg and the beast. In fact, it should be three experts, one took the lead and the other two were assistants.The leading expert seems to be in very bad health, and he is still lying in the wizarding hospital, under the care of specialized medical staff, and inspected by agents sent by the police force.This expert tried to imitate Ansip by using physical discomfort to delay the time when the hammer of the law hit him. IW gave him full "respect" in this matter, and he didn't have to pay for medical treatment. I'm afraid that his life will be unhappy, and there will be some ups and downs.It is said that the leading expert's physical condition has improved these days, and it seems that he wants to be discharged from the hospital.

It's not really terminally ill, it's not enough to lie in bed for a long time and pretend to be dead.

There is actually no need for a trial in a case with solid evidence. As long as the prisoner confesses, the charge will be over. However, the wizarding world also pays attention to handling matters according to the law, and pays attention to strengthening the construction of a society ruled by law. Heimdall got an opportunity to observe.

The interrogation court was set up in the smallest iron tree hall, about 20 square meters, with a table more than one meter high in the middle, and a chair with chains on it. There is no doubt that the prisoner must have sat on it.The stage is surrounded by 360-degree auditorium seats, which rise step by step in the pattern of the Roman Colosseum, and the outermost seats in the room are the commanding heights in the room.

The iron tree hall does not clearly divide the judge's seat, so the judge usually sits on the chair facing the prisoner, and only the seat facing the prisoner has a simple long table.

Before entering the Iron Tree Hall, Musayev told Heimdall that the famous villains in history would walk through this room before they were convicted.This room can be said to be one of the places where judges must come to worship before they are officially appointed. It turns out that IW's serving judges all hope to have the opportunity to hold the final trial in Iron Tree Hall. Unfortunately, the wizarding world has been peaceful for more than fifty years. Ambition is out of date, and the judges of IW now have other goals.

Then Musayev reported the names of several dark wizards who could stop people's thinking for a moment just by listening to them. Some were active in the Middle Ages, and some were doing evil in modern times.

Heimdall looked at the bas-relief in the shape of an iron tree on the door frame. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the slender leaves looked like a sickle in the hands of the god of death... The "treatment" of the two experts was really not low.

When the two experts were taken to the temporary prison, they seemed to be in a calm state. They did not regard death as home, but as if they had been wronged by the heavens. No wonder they said that life is like a drama.

There was only one chair for the prisoner, and of course it was impossible for the two to sit on it together. When the former one was taken away, the expression left behind had a moment of panic.They have been locked in different cells, and they can't hear or see the outside movement in the cells, let alone communicate with their accomplices.The one who was left behind hoped that his accomplice would be more vigilant, and pleaded not guilty after killing him. He is already afraid of going to prison.

What the expert didn't know was that IW's temporary prison was considered to be in good condition, and the real wizard's prison made life worse than death.

The one who was taken away was also in a panic, but he was experiencing it himself, so he had no time to think about his accomplices. Now there is only one thing he thinks about the most: he doesn't want to go to jail.

The most important reason why Iron Tree Hall is used as the final conviction hall is that it is very small. When the ground is raised, the roof appears to be shorter than the actual floor, making people feel cramped and out of breath.In addition, the prisoners' seats are higher than the front seats, and the public seats are surrounded by a circle, and the outermost public seats form a situation overlooking the center. When a person sits on the prisoner's seat, he is surrounded by the illusion of looking up, down, left, and all directions. If you don't go, the prisoners will easily have a strong sense of being oppressed mentally.

All kinds of psychological factors are entangled, and he begins to fidget, and there are loopholes in his psychological defense. Once there is a loophole, his thinking will be disordered. At this time, the spear of justice is pressing every step of the way. Backing, flower buds can't even bulge.

How many people in the world are as calm as Andrew Lange? !

The mental quality of the previous expert who was sent to court seemed to be not good. His face was very stiff, his mouth was pursed into a straight line, and his head was always lowered. He completely lost the calmness he showed when he left the temporary prison.

The huge letters of IW, as well as the solemn court and the judge's wizard robe play an extremely important deterrent effect here, but anyone who has a little bit of luck will inevitably feel guilty.

Musayev didn't talk nonsense and asked him to report his name directly. The next step was to follow the script and reveal his criminal facts one by one to the parchment.

He realized that protesting was useless. These judges had cleared up the trivial investigations that he didn't remember. The first expert's face was ashen when Mousayev read out slowly.

When he was taken down, he took a different passage than when he came in, that is to say, he would probably be in prison if he met another prisoner again. If he was lucky, he might become a neighbor. (PS: I remember that in the original book, Sirius and Little Crouch were locked very close together, and Sirius could hear Little Crouch crying.)

After the second expert was brought up, Musayev was not in a hurry to announce his crimes. Instead, he adopted the method of interrogation, asking him what he had done, and even put some trumped-up charges on him.Of course this one didn't agree, and Musayev just walked around with him in a leisurely way, sometimes deliberately asking wild and unconstrained ideas. This expert burst into tears and broke down under the interrogation that Musayev didn't arrange to sort out the cards. Yelling, pleading guilty while screaming and putting the main blame on the other person.

Unconscious prisoners will always do everything possible to reduce their charges in the end, hoping to get a good job in prison, which is completely unnecessary.It's all come to this point, is it up to the prisoner to decide which is more important?

When this expert was taken down, he was still crying, and he seemed to be more wronged than Dou E.

During the entire trial, Heimdall was as quiet as a backdrop. In the wizarding world, the police do not necessarily have the final say on the interrogation, and the judge would occasionally act as a police detective.The little clerk Sturluson found that his professional level was far from up to standard, and the judges in the wizarding world had to be fooled.

Those two experts are not first-time offenders, the amount of money involved is relatively huge, and the rare level of magical animals involved cannot be ignored. They will definitely not be released in ten or eight years. If they can survive the ecstasy life in the wizard prison, I believe they will see the sun again one day. .

Musayev left the Iron Tree Hall first, and the two prisoners have been convicted. The next step is to send the specific information to the department in charge of execution.

Heimdall packed his things slowly, left Iron Tree Hall, and as soon as he entered the office, Hollingworth waved to him.

Heimdall hurried over quickly.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Do you know Mendin?"

Heimdall froze for a moment, then nodded.

"President of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Switzerland." The money left to him by his grandmother Margaret is stored in Gringotts, Switzerland.

Hollingworth said nothing, and held up the letter in his hand.

Heimdall took it, scanned it quickly, and raised his eyes in surprise.

"What does this mean?" There was nothing on the letter, just an IW badge emblazoned with a garish signature underneath.

"It's from Mending," said Hollingworth. "This is a special letter, you can ask IW to handle a case for the goblins. 50 years ago, Mending persuaded the upper echelons of the goblins and helped us in action, allowing us to avoid huge losses in the battle with Grindelwald. The loss of personnel. In order to thank Mendin for his contribution to the peace of the wizarding world, the then Supreme Justice of IW sent him this letter, promising that at any time, as long as Mending speaks, IW will accept a goblin case for free. Only This time, it will not be an example."

The conflict between the International Wizengamot and the goblin society began with the lost golden balance. In fact, for so many years, only the wizards have been worried about it. In the eyes of the goblins, it was originally created by them. Take back what is yours.For example, the Golden Galleons used by wizards now, the goblins think that it is theirs too, and they are only temporarily lent to wizards for use, and the goblins have the right to take back these Golden Galleons anytime and anywhere.

Of course, wizards definitely don't do it.

Heimdall understood, "The goblin wants to go to court?"

Hollingworth said relaxedly: "The goblin can't even use a magic wand now. It's not a major case, but it's actually an economic dispute."

"Mendin's own case?"

"No, he transferred this letter to the president of Gringotts Bank in Turkey. We IW only recognize letters but not people, so whoever holds this letter has a chance."

"What happened to Gringotts in Türkiye?"

"The director of their International Magic Cooperation Department has run away."

"Run? Why did you run?"

"Using the purchase of anti-spell equipment by the Ministry of Magic, a large amount of Galleons were extracted from Gringotts. I used the money to buy new types of magic products. I was confident that I could make money, and then filled in the blanks. Even the house was lost. It seems that things are not good. When the wizards from the Ministry of Magic rushed to his house, the house would have been empty. The goblins of Gringotts went to the Ministry of Magic every day to ask for money, but the minister ignored them. The wizard was not willing to pay for the director. The matter was so procrastinated, the goblins decided to take action, they did not want to trust the wizards of the Turkish Ministry of Magic, and the president of Gringotts in Turkey asked for this letter from Mending letter."

The goblins are relatively united internally.

Heimdall understood completely now, "The goblin wants us to help them get their money back?"

"I'm glad you understood."

Heimdall shook his head, "This can't be done. What we can do is to punish the director who embezzled public funds through legal means. The money he lost was not filled by IW." They are not the mint, nor are they debt collectors company.

"Happy again to find that you are a clear thinking person."

"I leave it to you." Hollingworth pushed the letter forward.

Heimdall was dumbfounded, "Me?"

"The governor named you to be responsible. He heard about you from Mending. It seems that Mending has a good opinion of you." Hollingworth smiled.

Heimdall knew in his heart that it wasn't that he looked like the sun, shining everywhere, but that he had never withdrawn money.The best customer award for many years in a row is not for nothing, at least his stinginess is remembered by the goblins, and thus gained recognition.

"I'm just a nominal worker."

"Don't worry," Hollingworth reassured him not to underestimate himself. "The goblins don't eat humans, and they don't pay attention to it officially."

Why does Heimdall feel that this is a bit wrong, is he affirming him, or belittling him?

Heimdall sighed and took the letter.

"I'll go see this one first..."

"Newlon," Hollingworth reminded him.

The president of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Turkey, Nulun, wore a black woolen hat and a straight robe, definitely not the style of this century. Two short legs connected to two big feet, two The black leather shoes are polished and shiny.The face looks younger, with big bat ears, a long, slender and curved nose at the front-a bit similar to the illustrations of evil witches in Muggle storybooks, two small eyes, a large mouth, and very sharp teeth in the mouth.Although in Heimdall's eyes these goblins all look about the same, presumably the goblins look at them the same way.

"Mr. Nullen." Heimdall stretched out his hand as he walked towards him.

The governor took off his hat, raised his right hand and shook it with him.

Goblins are more meticulous than wizards in some respects. For example, they never look untidy outside the room. They can be very well-bred, but that is when they face their own people. They are not always friendly when they face wizards.

This Mr. Newlon is willing to shake hands with him, which is quite a face. It seems that the goblins also know how to stop when it comes to asking for help.

"We have a letter from Mr. Mending..."

"To be precise, I sent it." Nulun interrupted him not very politely, and his tone was not gentle.

Heimdall was very calm. Mendin looked like this back then, and he was their big client. To make the goblin look good to the wizard is like a fantasy.

"Sorry, we received your letter, my boss has already told me the problem..."

"Your boss?" Nulun looked dissatisfied. "I sent a letter before, which stated that I hope you will receive me. Why didn't that letter be sent to you?"

"That's because the International Wizengamot's method of handling affairs is different from that of Gringotts. This is a judicial institution, not a bank." Heimdall tried to keep his tone calm. "I'm not a customer service staff, and we don't receive customers here. Didn't you hear that you got this letter from Mr. Mending? Once this letter is sent, it can only be sent to one person. IW's The Supreme Justice, and because our Supreme Justice nodded, I am standing here to speak to you."

Nulun has been expressionless, and Heimdall is not sure what he is thinking, so he simply waits and sees.

"How are you going to deal with this matter?" Nulun's expression remained unchanged.

What Heimdall admires most about goblins is that they always care about the most important issues, rather than getting entangled in some small issues.

"Strictly follow the law and give the director the punishment he deserves." Heimdall said before Nurem spoke, "If you want to recover the losses for Gringotts Turkey, you have to follow the law."

"No, I don't believe in the wizard's law. You will only protect your own people. I don't care what happens to that wizard. My request is simple, return the money from Gringotts."

Heimdall stared at him, who remained motionless.

"Although I am not an official employee of IW, I can clearly distinguish what can and cannot be done. If you try to provoke me..."

"I don't mean to provoke you to break the law, I know a little about wizard's law even though I'm a goblin," said Newlon. "Look, I don't have a wand." Then he gave what might have been a smile.

Heimdall blinked, what do you mean?joke?

"If you're just looking for someone, there is no better channel in the wizarding world than our goblin intelligence network." Nulun said without changing his face. "It's not difficult to find him, but it's very difficult to find him and make him pay back the money. You force us not to do anything to wizards, no matter what." Nulun looked regretful.

"Since the director is bankrupt, even if you find him, you won't be able to get the money back." Heimdall couldn't figure out why he was so obsessed with the director.

"No, he has money, I'm sure, it's impossible to get it all back, but the money must be recovered." Nulun was firm.

"How are you sure?"

"As I said, we are very good at hearing news." Nulun turned his eyes and looked straight at Heimdall. "Mending also said that you are a capable person."

"...Mr. Mending is too polite."

"He said you must have a way. I never doubt Mending's judgment."

Heimdall was silent for a moment, "Since you can find someone, it means that you lack the means to collect debts."

Nulun didn't say a word and waited for the following.

"I can try to contact a debt collection agency for you, if you are willing to trust wizards."

"Standing here today, I spent a lot of thought to get that letter from Mending."

"Okay," Heimdall nodded. "I understand." Thinking of the letter in his hand, there should be a lot of procedures, otherwise the letter will probably be taken back by the goblin, and it seems that the higher-ups don't want to accept it a second time.

Nulun slid down from the sofa slowly. He tidied up his slightly messy robes, put on his hat, and turned to face Heimdall.

"Mr. Sturluson, do you still have savings in Gringotts, England?"

"what happened?"

"Since you have left that country, you should transfer all deposits to your place of residence."

"Isn't it good to put it in England?"

"Of course it's okay to put it in the UK. It's our headquarters and it's very safe," Newlon said. "But the UK is going to be messed up soon. We will withdraw from that country at that time. If you need to transfer the money out after that, you don't know how long you will have to wait."

Heimdall was startled, did he mean the mysterious person?

"But don't worry, we just don't want to be affected by the war. When the situation stabilizes, we will re-enter Gringotts in the UK."

In other words, they don't care about the outcome of the war at all, or who is in power.

Heimdall thought for a while, then lowered his voice subconsciously, "Did you find any news? Is it the action that the mysterious person will take?"

Newlon looked at him for a moment. "Sorry, I can't say, we never submit information for free."

"I pay, you bid."

"No, we have dedicated staff to take care of this. Please forgive me for not commenting." Newlon was very impressed with his unthinking purchase, and added, "It's not a big or small thing. Let's analyze it. I think it is likely to be a fuse, please hurry up and transfer the money from Gringotts in the UK."

To be honest, Heimdall didn't quite believe it, because the news came from the mouth of the goblin. If it was a wizard who said this to him today, he would reserve his attitude, let alone say it came from the mouth of a goblin.

Four days later, the latest news about Azkaban came from England. It wasn't that Dumbledore persuaded the minister and agreed to let IW take over the management of Azkaban, but that another wizard escaped from prison and ran out this time. more than one person.The Minister of Magic was still in a daze, thinking that this was a lie fabricated by Dumbledore to make him give up Azkaban. He even accused Dumbledore of being an old fool in public, and scolded him for eating inside and outside.

Heimdall on the European side was not only shocked when he heard the news, but also deeply afraid of the goblin intelligence network.
