Chapter 268 Three Liars
"You lied! Hagrid said he didn't open the Chamber of Secrets!"
Little Cat is quite experienced in lying and deceiving people. He followed Dumbledore's instructions and wrote in his diary in his usual tone.
"Of course he will not admit his guilt."
Of course Voldemort knew that Hagrid was now the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, so he was naturally prepared for such a situation.
He answered methodically: "When we caught Hagrid, he didn't admit it, so Professor Dippet just expelled him, but after he left the school, the attack never happened again. "
"Meow?"

Fish turned to look at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.
"Rebut him according to your own ideas," Dumbledore said: "As long as it doesn't reveal that you already know that he is the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets."
So Fish took up the pen again and wrote: "But Hagrid has been working as a gamekeeper in the school for many years, and there has never been an attack. Loris was only petrified and not dead. Not long after, Man Once the drake is ripe, she'll wake up, and Albus said it was just a prank."
"Professor Albus Dumbledore, right? He is always like this, he likes to give people who make mistakes a chance."
Voldemort was obviously saying good things for Dumbledore, but he was actually implying that he was lying. At the same time, he was a little anxious. He had forgotten about the Mandrake. If Mrs. Norris wakes up, The basilisk thing will definitely be exposed.
He shouldn't have hung the cat outside just to cause panic. He should have just let the basilisk swallow it.
At this time, Voldemort felt a little annoyed. He didn't expect that Fish would take so long to communicate with the diary.
He had planned to wait until he could control Fish's actions and then immediately deal with the petrified cat or destroy the mandrakes in the greenhouse.
While Voldemort was thinking secretly, Fish was scratching his cat's head.
This kind of backhanded talk is obviously extremely effective for a simple kitten. If Fish hadn't always unconditionally trusted his mother Mag on such important matters, he would probably have started to do so by now. I believe Riddle in the diary.
After all, the other party didn't look like a bad guy at all, and he was still trying to put in good words for Dumbledore.
However, knowing that the other party was a bad guy, the smart little cat quickly reacted and realized the insidiousness in Voldemort's words.
"Minerva! This guy is such a good liar, meow! Fish almost believed him just now, meow!"
(●ΦДΦ●)
"This is the scary thing about Voldemort. He can always easily make people believe in him and sacrifice their lives for him."
Dumbledore sighed regretfully. He had always regretted that after he saw Riddle's ambition, he failed to guide him properly.
Fish, who originally only wanted to free Ouroboros before continuing to chat with Voldemort, suddenly became interested because he found that he seemed to be able to learn many deceptive tricks from the other party...
This way, I won't be easily caught and spanked by Minerva in the future!
So after thinking for a moment, the little cat excitedly picked up the quill and started writing in the diary.
"But that big spider in your memory, there are many in the Forbidden Forest. Fish has killed several of them, and they are all much bigger than the one Hagrid raised."
Voldemort in the diary became depressed again because he remembered what Fish once told "Ginny" about fighting a big spider in the Forbidden Forest... He thought it was an ordinary spider at the time, but who knew it was actually an eight-year-old spider? Dangerous creatures like giant-eyed spiders.
As for whether what Fish said was true or false, Voldemort had no doubts.
After all, Fei Xu is a fierce man who can hold down and beat the real secret chamber monster, the Basilisk. Voldemort, who saw this with his own eyes, naturally knew that what Fei Xu said was true.
If I had known this, when I showed Fish the memory just now, I wish I had just stopped at the place where I caught Hagrid.
Voldemort didn't know how many times he regretted it today. Anyway, nothing happened smoothly after he met Fish.
The original intention was to let Fish clearly see the so-called secret room monster and strengthen the credibility of his lies, but now it has become a loophole...
Fortunately, this loophole is harmless and Voldemort has a way to come back.
But before that, he still had to show a skeptical attitude.
"You can actually defeat the Acromantula? That is a dangerous creature classified as XXXXX level by the Ministry of Magic!"
"Yes, Fei is amazing!"
The little kitten ignored Voldemort's doubts and boasted proudly...
This made Voldemort, who wanted to use this opportunity to provoke Fish's anger, quite speechless.
Many of his tricks were completely ineffective against Fish, who had a clear mind. Coupled with the tight time now, Voldemort couldn't help but become a little anxious.
"I do not believe!"
The urgency in Voldemort's heart was subconsciously shown in his words. Under normal circumstances, he would not question Fish's words so bluntly.
"Even if you don't believe it, Feishu can defeat those big spiders anyway."
The little kitten who has his own way doesn't care whether you believe it or not, he continued to answer Voldemort unexpectedly.
Dumbledore was smiling happily, and Fitz didn't feel anything, but he saw the urgency in Voldemort's heart.
When people are anxious, they are prone to reveal flaws.
In that short period of time just now, Fitz made Voldemort unable to control his emotions twice.
You know, this is still Voldemort in his youth who has been hiding his ambitions.
In the eyes of Dumbledore, who had spent his school years with Voldemort, this is much more difficult than defeating him.
At that time, Voldemort had hardly revealed any flaws in school. Dumbledore's suspicion of him was because of the abuse of power that the other party inadvertently revealed when they first met in the orphanage, and his indifference to other children in the orphanage.
Letting Fitz chat with Voldemort was really the right thing to do.
Before this, Dumbledore just let Fish give it a try without much hope, but he didn't expect that Fish's different way of thinking from normal people would make Voldemort, who was always thoughtful, inexplicably confused.
Could it be that Fish's real date of birth was also at the end of July?
Dumbledore touched his beard, and his thoughts suddenly became a little divergent.
On Fish's side, Voldemort regained his composure again.
"Sorry, I just lost my temper," Voldemort apologized quickly, "mainly because what you said was too unbelievable."
"Believe it or not, those big spiders can't be the monster of the chamber anyway."
Fish didn't care about these at all. He was now waiting for Voldemort in the diary to teach him how to lie.
"Just take what you said as true," although he knew it would not have much effect, Voldemort still pretended not to argue with Fish, and then took over his words, "But you can't deny the danger of the Acromantula because of this. I think there are not many little wizards in Hogwarts who can defeat them."
This is the truth.
The little cat nodded in approval. Anyway, after watching the duel club for so long, he thought that only a few senior students could beat those big spiders.
"But those big spiders can't petrify, and Hagrid doesn't have a wand in his hand."
Fish questioned Voldemort from another angle. He felt that this game of constantly finding loopholes in the opponent was actually quite interesting... It would be even better if there was no need to write.
"The wand problem is actually easy to solve. I know that you can buy some unrecorded wands in Knockturn Alley next to Diagon Alley."
Voldemort briefly explained the wand problem, and then wrote in the diary: "But it seems that you trust Hagrid very much. No matter what I say, it is meaningless. It is even possible that I was misled by the real murderer back then..."
At this moment, the Dark Lord finally showed his true colors.
"Why not, we can work together to find out the truth about the Chamber of Secrets."
After laying the groundwork for so long, what Voldemort actually wanted to do was to gain Fich's trust.
And working together to do one thing is one of the best ways to build a bridge of trust.
In this process, he can also constantly try to make Fich feel negative emotions. Voldemort believes that as long as he communicates with Fich enough, he will definitely find the right way to stimulate Fich and will not fail again like today.
But what Voldemort didn't expect was that his actions were exactly what Dumbledore wanted, because Voldemort obviously would not let Fish investigate the Chamber of Secrets on his own, but would constantly mislead Fish, and a lot of communication would inevitably occur during this period.
At this time, he could let Fish get words from Voldemort in return.
Then, Dumbledore saw Fish quickly write a line in the diary.
"Okay, I'll go find clues now."
After writing, Fish closed the diary and turned to look at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.
"We can't chat anymore. Fish always ends the conversation after writing so many sentences." He explained to the two: "And..."
The kitten showed a bored expression.
"Fish doesn't want to write anymore today, meow."
