After all, even if Ye Ting promised to destroy Voldemort, it would take time.

Moreover, if Bones did nothing, even if Ye Ting eliminated Voldemort, she would not get any benefit.

If after Voldemort's resurrection, Bones can make preparations, even if the plan goes smoothly, these preparations are useless, and Voldemort is killed by Ye Ting before he really shows off, and Bones himself will still gain a huge reputation.

After all, all her preparations at least proved that she has done something, she has foresight, etc. Fudge's clumsy will bring out her brilliance.

However, today's Bones has to face the embarrassment of insufficient manpower.

Of course, Penello and Zhang Qiu were not under Bones, but Manasseh didn't know.

Therefore, Penello's explanation fooled her perfectly.

"So, what news do you two want to ask?" Manasseh finally got into the topic.

"It is rumored that the Smith family is the descendant of Helga Hufflepuff, is this true?" Zhang Qiu asked timely.

"Of course," Manasseh raised his head and said with a little pride. "Our family genealogy has always been up, and it can indeed be traced back to Helga Hufflepuff. In fact, our family has been born for generations. All graduated from Hufflepuff College."

"So, do you know the whereabouts of the Hufflepuff Golden Cup?" Penello asked.

"Hufflepuff's golden cup?" Manasseh became vigilant at the mention of the name. She frowned and looked at Penello, "Why do you want to know this? What is your purpose?"

Manasseh's reaction was a bit wrong. The two looked at each other, and finally Penello replied, "This is a very serious secret. I can only say that this secret has something to do with the Dark Lord."

"The Dark Lord?" Manasseh's brow furrowed deeper.

"Perhaps you have heard of his other name," Zhang Qiu added, "Tom Riddle."

"Ah, it's him!" After hearing the name, Manasseh immediately exclaimed, "I seem to know him...that's how...the real murderer is him!"

Seeing Manasseh's sudden realization, the two girls looked at each other, wondering what happened.

After a long while, Penello tentatively asked: "Excuse me, is Tom Riddle related to Hufflepuff's Golden Cup?"

"Well, this is a long story," Manasseh sighed long, and his tone softened. "Since you make me want to understand the truth, I will tell you about Hutchison. The whereabouts of the Patchkin Cup, it has something to do with what happened 49 years ago..."

Chapter 0319 Voldemort Sells Hue?

With Manasseh's talk, Zhang Qiu and Penello finally understood about the whereabouts of the Hufflepuff Golden Cup.

Manasseh told them that, in fact, Hufflepuff’s golden cup has always been the heirloom of the Smith family, which is why they dare to call themselves Hufflepuff’s descendants.

As the person who inherited most of the Smith family’s estate, Hepziba Smith inherited Hufflepuff’s gold cup of course and kept it at home.

However, this heirloom disappeared unexpectedly after Hepziba Smith himself died in 1946.

According to the original Ministry of Magic's investigation, Hepziba Smith was accidentally poisoned by an old-eyed house-elf.

When the house elves were convicted, Hepziba's family discovered that Hepziba Smith's most precious treasure, Hufflepuff's gold cup, had been lost.

Moreover, what was lost at the same time was another equally precious collection, the Slytherin pendant. The news made Zhang Qiu and Penello extremely excited, because this was also what they were looking for.

Hepzibah Smith bought this collection at a high price at the Bork-Bock antique shop, and Bork bought it from a shabby woman—in fact, this woman is Voldemort’s mother. She ran away from home in order to be with the old Muggle Riddle and stole the Slytherin pendant. However, in the end, the old Riddle discovered her as a witch and abandoned her.

In poverty, she had to sell her belongings, and Slytherin's pendant was one of them.

It took a while for the Smith family to determine this, because Hepziba has many secret locations and always takes her collection very seriously.

"So, Hufflepuff's gold cup just disappeared like this?" Zhang Qiu was a little disappointed, because it meant that their clues were broken again.

However, Penello was keenly aware of something.

"Ms. Manasseh, you think Ms. Hepziba's death is related to the Dark Lord, right?" She said her judgment cautiously.

"Yes... at least I think so-if your news is correct, because, the man named Tom Riddle, I met him."

"Have you seen... the Dark Lord when you were young?" Zhang Qiu and Penello realized that they seemed to have discovered incredible news.

"Ah, yes, I did meet that person, in this house, with my sister. At that time, he seemed to be a clerk at the Borgin-Bock antique shop. If Hufflepuff’s gold cup really If it has something to do with the Dark Lord, then, it is very likely that he killed my sister and took the gold cup."

However, to their disappointment, Manasseh seemed to have only seen the Dark Lord when he was young, and his knowledge of the incident was limited to this.

Therefore, the two girls still can't make a judgment whether this is really the case.

Until Ye Ting, Hermione and Furong brought back the resurrection stone.

Through the resurrection stone, they can temporarily resurrect key witnesses so as to understand everything that happened 49 years ago.

So they visited Manasseh again, and this time they managed to get Manasseh to resurrect her sister, Hepziba himself.

However, Hepziba also seems to think that she was accidentally poisoned to death by her own house elf, but from her mouth, the two girls learned more accurate information at the time.

While working at Borgin Bock, Tom Riddle became good friends with Hepziba. She was very obsessed with Riddle, a handsome young man. Tom himself was very friendly to Hepziba and flattered her to make her Happy.

For a long time, Hepziba did not notice the dark and greedy nature of Riddle.

Once, Riddle went to visit Hepziba at the order of Mr. Bok, ostensibly to negotiate with her about the sale of armor made of goblins. But during this visit, Hepziba rashly showed Tom his two most precious treasures: Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket.

When Tom held the locket into her hand, she caught a glimpse of the greedy red light flashing in Tom's eyes, and she did have a bad premonition at the time.

After two days, she herself died inexplicably.

All this was confirmed by the resurrected house elf Hao Qi. In addition, Hao Qi also mentioned that shortly after Hepziba’s death, "The clerk at Bokin Bok, who often went to see Hepuziba And the youth who would please her like that" has resigned and disappeared.

His boss didn't know where he was going, he was surprised like everyone else.

Tom Riddle disappeared for a long time.

Reminiscent of what they learned when they exchanged information with Ye Ting, the memory of Voldemort modifying his uncle, Morfin Gunter, made him think that he killed the Riddle family and used Voldemort to commit the crime, Penello. And Zhang Qiu came to a conclusion immediately.

It was Voldemort who poisoned Hepzibar to steal Hufflepuff’s gold cup and Slytherin’s locket, and he used the same method to modify Hao Qi’s memory to make this poor housekeeper The elf condemned it.

Although this is somewhat incomprehensible to ordinary people, this is indeed something Voldemort can do.

After all, the heir to the arrogant Slytherin has always regarded Slytherin's locket as his own, and Hufflepuff’s gold cup is a historic antique for him. Attractive.

In order to get this, Voldemort even put down his figure and betrayed her hue to please an old and fat woman who feels good about herself.

Ye Ting even thought maliciously, maybe in order to make Hepziba truly trust him, Voldemort had a closer relationship with her at the beginning.

Even Penello and Zhang Qiu felt that this experience was a dark history of Voldemort himself that he would never want to mention again.

However, the whereabouts of the Hufflepuff Golden Cup seemed to be broken by this point.

No one knew where Voldemort would hide the golden cup after that.

However, Ye Ting put forward a conjecture that seems to make sense (spoiler)
