Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 121 If everyone rushes in, you can’t kill them all

Before opening the warehouse door, Hagrid was ready to rescue people.

However, when the door was opened, the result was shocking.

There are no prisoners.

There are no prisoners.

The entire warehouse was empty.

"Sherlock, this..."

Hagrid turned and looked at Sherlock, his brain unable to wrap its head around it for a moment.

"Hmph, boring disguise!"

Sherlock's eyes swept across the entire warehouse, and he immediately understood.

"You hold off those guys outside first, let me take a look first."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Hagrid promised loudly, patting his chest.

Sherlock said this because someone was already rushing towards them.

Hagrid was indeed a man not to be trifled with, there was no doubt about that.

But Sherlock and Hagrid's behavior of rushing directly to the backyard of the black market and rummaging through the warehouse was indeed excessive.

To put it bluntly, it's like shitting on someone else's head.

Even if this warehouse is indeed empty, it is still intolerable.

So when things got to this point, the managers of the black market could no longer sit still and hurried over with their people.

"Mr. Hagrid from Hogwarts! We have no intention of making an enemy of you, but what do you mean now?"

As the Keeper of Keys and Gamekeeper at Hogwarts, Rubeus Hagrid is a well-known figure in both Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley.

Of course, another important reason is that almost the entire wizarding world knows that Hagrid is Dumbledore's most trusted person.

Although this was what Hagrid said himself, Dumbledore never denied it.

And Hagrid did do things for Dumbledore more than once.

This is terrible.

Even though the dark wizards of Knockturn Alley are despicable, cruel, vicious, insidious and cunning, many of them are still on the Ministry of Magic's wanted list.

but.

Even if they had ten times the courage, they would never dare to offend Dumbledore, no, the former White King!

What's more, Hagrid's own fighting ability is not bad at all.

So even though they saw Hagrid guarding the warehouse door, they could only negotiate verbally first.

"We are investigating a case, please don't come over."

Sherlock in the warehouse heard Hagrid speaking the truth and shook his head helplessly.

But things have developed to this point, it doesn't matter anymore.

After carefully inspecting the structure of the warehouse, he took out the copper kettle he had prepared long ago and poured water on the ground.

"Fortunately, I prepared enough water... It seems I need to learn more practical spells."

Normally, at this time, the water-making spell is the best choice.

Among all the courses in the first year, Charms was his strong point, and his level was far ahead of other students.

Therefore, when protecting the Philosopher's Stone, one can use the Spell of the Wind, which only senior students can master.

But now it seems that we still need to work harder.

After waiting patiently for a while, Sherlock found that the trickle of water began to converge towards the southeast corner of the warehouse.

He looked carefully and found that there was indeed a tiny crack in the wall.

Sherlock no longer had any doubts and drew his wand:

"Open the Alaho hole!"

With a spell to unlock the door, the secret door slowly opened, and the room hidden behind it came into view.

The noise he made naturally attracted the attention of the black market wizards outside the warehouse.

"There's a secret door here?"

"What? How come I don't know anything?"

"Get out of the way, we want to go in!"

Seeing everyone ready to make a move, Hagrid pulled out an arrow from his waist, put it on his crossbow, pointed it at everyone, and shouted:
"No one is allowed to move!"

Hagrid was originally tall, and just by standing there he was much taller than everyone else. At this time, this action had a very good intimidating effect.

The wizards looked at each other in confusion.

Although everyone held a wand, no one dared to take the first step.

But standing there like this is not a solution.

Finally, someone brave enough tentatively cast a Limp Legs Charm at Hagrid.

This is a relatively mild offensive spell, which causes the victim's lower limbs to be paralyzed instantly, making them unable to move.

That way, they could get around Hagrid and into the warehouse without hurting anyone.

However, this spell had no effect on Hagrid.

Not only that, his behavior also annoyed Hagrid.

Without a word, Hagrid shot an arrow at him.

"call out!"

But with a scream, the man was hit by an arrow in the knee and immediately fell to the ground.

The black market wizards who saw this scene were all shocked and shouted:

"Hagrid, you're relying on your own strength to protect your friend here, right?"

"If everyone rushes in, Mr. Hagrid won't be able to kill all the people in the black market!"

"When your strength is exhausted, you will also be doomed!"

Hagrid flew into a rage when he heard this. "Are you trying to scare me?"

But before he could finish his words, he heard Sherlock's anxious voice: "Hagrid!" Hagrid, who was originally confronting the black market people, immediately left them and rushed to Sherlock's side, his eyes full of anxiety:

"Sherlock, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Sherlock pointed forward, "Help!"

While Hagrid was dealing with everyone in the Parthenon Black Market on his own, Sherlock had already successfully opened the secret door.

There was no doubt that this small room hidden behind the secret door was where Musgrave was originally imprisoned.

It's just that Smith didn't deliberately hide it at the time, so Baskerville didn't know the relationship between the warehouse and the two.

Hagrid looked in the direction Sherlock pointed and immediately saw a man huddled against the wall. Judging from his clothes, it was the Greek interpreter.

"Damn it!"

Hagrid immediately rushed into the room and carried him back to the warehouse.

At this time, those people in the black market also took this opportunity to walk into the warehouse, and they all looked surprised when they saw the situation in front of them.

It was because the man who was brought out by Hagrid had blue lips, swollen and congested face, and bulging eyes.

If it weren't for the familiar clothes and the black beard, Hagrid would hardly have recognized him as Baskerville.

"He's been poisoned!"

At this time, Hagrid didn't care about the fact that they broke into the warehouse. Seeing Baskerville's appearance, he was anxious and shouted to the crowd:

"Does anyone among you know how to detoxify?"

The wizards looked at each other in confusion.

"Damn it, this poison is very strong. I need to take him to..."

Hagrid looked around and prepared to carry Baskerville and Sherlock away.

Saving lives is the most important thing; investigating the case can be put aside for the time being.

"I come!"

Just then, a big bald head emerged from the crowd.

The Potter family's powerful hair growth product has led marketers to launch advertisements saying "There is no room for baldness in the wizarding world."

But one of the raw materials is so rare that the finished products are becoming increasingly expensive, and not everyone can afford them.

So it's understandable that there are one or two bald people occasionally.

The bald wizard spread out his palm, and in his palm was a substance that looked like stone.

"Great! It's a bezoar!"

Hagrid was overjoyed when he saw this. He took the dung stone, crushed it with a little force, and stuffed it into Baskerville's mouth.

The effect is immediate.

After a violent coughing fit, the Greek interpreter's poisoning symptoms gradually subsided, but scars from a beating could still be seen on one of his eyes.

"Thank goodness that guy didn't use the Unforgivable Curses!"

Hagrid couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw this scene.

As we all know, Harry Potter is the only one who has survived the Killing Curse.

Hagrid didn't think Baskerville had the ability to be a savior.

Seeing that Baskerville was out of danger, Sherlock asked Hagrid to notify the professors of Hogwarts to come for support, while continuing to stop them from interfering with his investigation of the crime scene.

Things had developed to this point, and the strength of just him and Hagrid seemed a little weak.

Didn't these people just say that Hagrid was relying on Dumbledore's trust to act recklessly?

Then just let them see it for themselves.

Sure enough, when they heard that the professor from Hogwarts was coming, everyone who was clamoring to go into the cell with Sherlock suddenly stopped talking.

Are you kidding? No matter which professor comes to Hogwarts, they are not people they can mess with.

It would be fine if it was Dumbledore who came.

Although he is very powerful, he is also called the White Lord among dark wizards.

But over the years, he has rarely fought with others.

Given his status and bearing, he would surely not be on the same level as people like them.

But if it was Snape or McGonagall who came, they would be in big trouble if it was known that they had bullied people at Hogwarts.

While waiting for Baskerville to recover and the Hogwarts professors to arrive, Sherlock entered the cell again.

It wasn't long before he got what he wanted.

Baskerville had just recovered his strength.

Although the severe poison might force him to spend some time in the hospital, that fecal stone successfully pulled him back from the brink of death.

However, he was not in good condition at the moment and could only briefly describe the process to Sherlock and Hagrid.

Just this afternoon, Smith found him for the fourth time.

As soon as they entered the house, a fierce battle broke out between the other party and the friends who were protecting Baskerville.

Maybe it was because they underestimated the enemy, maybe it was because they were not strong enough, or maybe it was because the opponent was well prepared.

In short, after a fierce fight, the three friends who protected Baskerville were all knocked down by Smith.

He then threatened their lives and took Baskerville hostage to leave with him again.

"Three against one and still getting killed? How shameful!"

When the onlookers heard this, some of them couldn't help but shout.

"Shut up!"

Sherlock turned his head and said coldly.

Hagrid said nothing and immediately followed Sherlock's gaze.

The wizard who was about to retort immediately shut up.

Sherlock understands Baskerville very well.

The power displayed by Smith had an almost irresistible effect on this poor man who knew several languages.

Besides, he is kind by nature and would even rescue strangers he doesn't know, let alone his friends who come to protect him?
As a result, he was quickly kidnapped to Knockturn Alley and used as an interpreter during the fourth meeting.
