[HP] If youth has an ageless face

In order to avoid being noticed, Edwin did not meet Sylvia until the Public Judgment Day after Christmas.

As a family member of the defendant, Sylvia is not eligible to testify in court.When Edwin arrived at the Ministry of Magic, she was sitting in the empty auditorium in a daze.

"What's the matter?"

Sylvia motioned her to sit down, and then whispered: "I don't know who reported it, but I heard that person will appear as a witness of the Ministry of Magic today."

"Ah."

"He listened to my suggestion." Sylvia glanced down, Sean naturally hadn't appeared yet, but the members of the Wizengamot had already taken their seats, "During the last interrogation yesterday, he reported her The other benefactor - the one who bailed her out of the Ministry of Magic before - heard that she gave a lot of things herself, but insisted that I gave her the cloak."

"But she has no proof."

"That's right." In fact, the Ministry of Magic has no conclusive evidence to prove that Sean is the buyer of the cloak, after all, the transaction agreement can be forged.But the crux of the problem is that no one knows whether the agreement is true or not, because the cloak appeared as if it fell from the sky, making everyone puzzled.For Sean, the most fatal thing was not the paper agreement, but his mistress, which meant that he could not escape unscathed.

"How are you preparing?"

"I don't dare to touch the things in Gringotts, but I have already collected some jewelry, treasures and other things and moved them away."

"very good."

At this time, the Minister of Magic and the Director of the Department of Law Enforcement walked in together, and the originally noisy courtroom became much quieter—the trial was about to begin.

Edwin La was not worried that things would implicate her: on the evening of Chatillon's death, a riot broke out in Boulogne Castle. After a long time, the people also rushed into the castle and smashed and looted wantonly.Although the chaos was quickly brought under control by the French Ministry of Magic, the castle suffered some damage, including some "missing" items.

Therefore, even if the Ministry of Magic finds out the origin of the cloak, she can reason that it is not clear.

The trial went very well, and the first accused was the girl, who was still crying and making charges against Sylvia.But Ms. Burns, who was in charge of the interrogation, was not so easy to fool. She first warned the other party not to try to disrupt the order of the court, and then asked a series of questions about her money transactions with several donors. Finally, she asked if she had evidence or Witnesses who could testify that the cloak was given to her by Sylvia - of course not.

The part about Sean isn't great either.Edwina lost her mind when she heard it, and she didn't regain her senses until Sylvia hit her hard.

"That's the whistleblower." Sylvia whispered in her ear.

Edwin took a closer look and saw a man walking up to the witness stand.His appearance caused a chatter, but Edwinra's focus was on his strange appearance and well-groomed clothes.

"do you know him?"

Sylvia shook her head in the same confusion: "I don't think... he's not British, is he?"

Otherwise they couldn't possibly be ignorant of him, especially Sylvia, who was a very active socialite.

Edwina stared at the piece of holly pinned to the man's collar, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

"Witness name?"

"Christian Byrne." The witness raised his eyes and looked directly at Ms. Burns, and Edwin La found that his eyes were very light blue, which seemed familiar.

"you and--"

"I don't know anyone." Unexpectedly, the witness interrupted Ms. Burns' question with a loud voice. His offensive behavior caused a commotion, but this was not as shocking as his next words, "But I know that person." A cloak!"

Edwina straightened his back suddenly and looked down in disbelief. Sylvia's expression changed, and she secretly clenched her wrist.Things changed suddenly, which was beyond their expectations.

"That cloak was made five years ago, and I traveled from Denmark to France with her as my sister's dowry." The witness showed hatred, and he glanced around coldly, but did not find the girl, so he Looking at the high-ranking Ministry of Magic officials again, "After Godefroy de Chatillon died, I took my sister's coffin back to Denmark for burial, only to find that many of the treasures in her dowry were missing The most expensive of them all is this cloak.” Speaking of which, he paused for a moment, and slowly took out a scroll from his pocket to unfold, and on it was a Danish girl whom Edwin had once met, and It was the cloak she was wearing. "Ash cannot be a star if it is thrown into the sky, and she is no more than a foolish gold digger at heart, no matter how gorgeous she is."

This remark shocked the four.Ms. Burns was quick to ask: "How did you know the cloak was back?"

"She got carried away and showed off too much, but she didn't think about how such a luxurious cloak could come from an ordinary source." The witness said contemptuously, "This cloak is also very famous in Denmark. Although I am not in England, the news was quickly spread by several people. The Danish businessman passed it on."

If he was the brother of the Danish girl, he must also have known that she was Chatillon's last wife.And her relationship with Sylvia only needs a little investigation, then... Edwina suddenly felt a chill down her spine, she turned to look at Sylvia: "I'm afraid I have to go first. "

"Have you thought about what to do?" Sylvia no longer had the mentality of watching a good show a few minutes ago.Now as long as the witness in front of me speaks a few more words, the people who will be sent to the trial seat will become the two of them—on the charges of framing, framing, and falsifying evidence.

"I can only try to blame others." Edwin's mind was spinning rapidly, and she quickly thought of an idea that was unreliable but temporarily feasible, "Maybe... I can fabricate evidence that the cloak was stolen." My biological parents were taken away, and they sank to the bottom of the ocean with them..."

"That's too easy to see through."

"Anyway, I'm going to leave first. You stay here and send me news as soon as you have any news." Edwin pulled up and left without hesitation.In any case, if she could leave the Ministry first, she would be able to buy a little more time and find ways to clear the suspicion.
