About ten minutes later, the bank's alarm suddenly rang, and immediately after, Li Chuan saw two figures instantly appear outside the wall in front of him.
It was Newt, who had just entered the bank, and Jacob kowalski, a Muggles who was preparing to go to the bank today to get a loan to open a bakery and was forced into the incident.
Jacob was a demobilized soldier after the end of World War I, assigned to a cannery doing numb work, and his dream was to open a bakery using his grandmother's secret recipe.
Today he originally wanted to see if he could apply for a loan to open a bakery through his own craftsmanship.
As a result, because of an egg, he was instantly brought into the bank vault by the mysterious man in front of him, and also saw many incredible things.
"Excuse me, you've seen too much. If you don't mind, just stand still like that, just for a moment."
Newt helped the terrified Jacob, who could barely stand, to stand properly, politely helped him straighten his clothes, bent down to put down the case in his hand, and wanted to cast an Obliviate on Jacob.
"Sorry!"
However, Jacob thought Newt was going to cast some terrible magic on him, and while shouting sorry, he picked up the case Newt had just put down, knocked Newt to the ground, and quickly ran out of the alley and squeezed into the crowd.
By the time Newt, who had no guard against Jacob at all, reacted, the other party had already disappeared.
"This is troublesome now."
Performing magic in front of Muggle, and not using Obliviate to erase memories, this is an act that violates the Statute of Secrecy and will lead to arrest and imprisonment.
"He really is a flexible fat man!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of the alley. Newt turned to look, and there was actually a young man standing there all along.
"Excuse me, I can't make any more mistakes."
Newt subconsciously thought the young man was also a Muggle, raised his wand and was about to cast Obliviate, but the young man took out his wand and quickly said:
"Don't be so agitated, I am also a witch, I just didn't expect you to be knocked down by a Muggle, and I didn't have time to take out my wand to help you hold him still."
This young man was none other than Li Chuan, who had deliberately hidden here in advance.
He knew that Newt was one of Dumbledore's most trusted witches at this stage, and also a key figure in the subsequent development of events, so he deliberately came over in advance to make contact.
"It's my own problem, I've disturbed you."
Newt was clearly not very good at communicating with people, so after knowing that Li Chuan was a witch, he put away his wand, picked up the case on the ground, and was about to leave the alley to chase after Jacob.
Unfortunately, just as he turned around, a woman wearing a trench coat walked straight into the alley.
As the woman brushed past Newt, she grabbed his arm, then took out her wand and pointed it at Li Chuan, pulling Li Chuan's body directly in front of her, and taking both of them with her as they disappeared from the alley via Apparition.
When Li Chuan saw the woman's wand pointing at him, he could have also used magic to deflect it, or used physical strength to forcibly break free from the magic restraint, but he didn't do that.
Because he had recognized that the person was Tina Goldstein.
"I am a witch from the Magical Congress of the United States of America, who are you?"
In an empty alley diagonally opposite the Woolworth Building, Tina held out her identification with one hand and held her wand pointing at Newt and Li Chuan with the other, asking.
"Newt Scamander."
"Tom Foley."
Newt and Li Chuan glanced at Tina's identification and replied at the same time.
It's just that after Li Chuan finished replying, he added another sentence:
"Hmm, I think I've seen you. It was you who helped me process my wand permit three days ago."
"Cough cough... That's not important. What's important is what's in your case, and what just happened?"
When Tina heard Li Chuan's words, she carefully looked at Li Chuan and immediately remembered that the other party was indeed a witch who had come from London three days ago.
So after her expression became slightly awkward, she quickly changed the subject.
You should know that she is no longer an Aurors, but only a wand permit processor, and has no right to stop Newt and Li Chuan.
Now it's like a civil affairs bureau staff member responsible for registration, who found two suspicious people on the street, but went to arrest and interrogate them like a Police officer.
Under normal circumstances, Newt and Li Chuan could completely ignore Tina, and if Tina used magic on them, they could even go to the Magical Congress of the United States of America to complain about Tina.
However, Newt was clearly a very good-tempered person, so even though he knew the other party's identity through Li Chuan, he still replied honestly:
"What's in the case is a Niffler, you know they are always relatively mischievous and like shiny things."
"Oh, Merlin's beard, don't you know that the United States strictly prohibits keeping magical creatures privately, and precisely at this time, such a sensitive time, something like that just happened yesterday.
Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?"
Tina's tone was quite agitated.
Newt quickly waved his hand:
"No, I just arrived here today. Niffler is always incorrigible. It just likes..."
"Okay, I believe you didn't do it on purpose. So, have you dealt with that Muggles? Did you erase his memory?"
Tina saw Newt's foolish look and gradually started to believe his words.
"Muggles?"
Newt looked confused.
"It's Muggle. They call it that here in the United States."
Li Chuan, who was beside him, explained on his behalf.
And Newt shook his head somewhat awkwardly upon hearing this.
"You have violated Article 1 of Chapter 3 and Article 5 of Chapter 8. I need to take you to macusa for trial."
Tina looked at Newt and Li Chuan with a serious expression.
Li Chuan spread his hands somewhat helplessly:
"This seems to have nothing to do with me. I just happened to be here and saw all of this."
"Yes, it has nothing to do with this mr.."
New York also quickly explained to Tina.
However, Tina pulled Newt with one hand and Li Chuan with the other, and walked directly towards the Woolworth Building across the street:
"You two are both witches from england, and you both appeared in that alley at the same time. It's hard for me to believe that you have no connection. Let's talk about it after we get to macusa!"
Seeing this, Newt and Li Chuan could only follow Tina towards macusa.
"mr. scamander, you seem to know a lot about magical creatures?"
On the way to macusa, Li Chuan took the initiative to chat with Newt.
Newt was not a talkative person, but as soon as he heard it was related to magical creatures, he immediately became more talkative.
"Yes, I am conducting a one-year investigation and plan to write a book specifically about magical creatures, calling on everyone to understand why they should be protected."
"Oh, Merlin, this is truly a very meaningful thing. Many people think they are strange, but what do I think is strange about them? It's just that people's minds are too narrow."
Li Chuan exclaimed with a serious expression.
