Alan had the capital to face their reaction; he calmly smiled and said, "Don't worry, next I will provide a detailed and reasonable explanation for everyone, along with sufficient evidence. Of course, a lot of the content involves state secrets, which is why I had everyone sign the magical contract beforehand."
Upon hearing Alan's reply, everyone finally calmed down and turned their inquiring gazes toward him.
"As you can see, No. 1 Park indeed has a scale of over two hundred people, and after multiple investigations, I can confirm that a large portion of them are ordinary wizards. The Muggles and Squibs are mostly the spouses or relatives of these wizards." Alan did not hide much from those present and directly told them this astonishing news.
"Since these people are ordinary wizards, why are we still attacking them?" A subordinate brought by Andre looked at Alan in confusion. He was an Auror, and his duty was to protect the safety of these ordinary wizards. Now, being asked to turn against them was truly perplexing.
Hearing the wizard's questioning, other Aurors around also nodded in agreement, and even the British Aurors familiar with Alan showed puzzled expressions.
"Although most of them are ordinary wizards, this park is indeed affiliated with the Silver Spears. Everyone, please look..." As Alan said this, he pointed, and the screen at the front of the conference table lit up. Immediately, like slides projected by a projector, dozens of wizards' portraits appeared. From the shooting angle, it was clear that most were secretly taken, mostly side or top views.
"These people you see are the thirty-six patrol personnel in the base and Gail, the park management secretary. After confirmation, they, along with the internal managers of the park, are collaborators of the Silver Spears. I believe you understand the implications of this," Alan said gravely.
Everyone around nodded after hearing Alan's words, especially the German Aurors. They had been dealing with the Silver Spears for quite some time and were not unfamiliar with these collaborators.
"So our main target is actually these people? Then why don't we just arrest them and dismiss the other ordinary wizards? Is it necessary to capture everyone?" another Auror from the German Ministry of Magic asked.
"Your question is very good, but the situation involved here is quite complex." After saying that, Alan turned his head to look at Andre. "Director Andre, everyone here has signed a non-disclosure agreement. Can I reveal that secret now? Regarding that matter, I've only disclosed it to you so far."
"Do you already have conclusive evidence?" Andre knew what Alan was referring to and asked back with a serious expression.
Alan nodded. "Not only do I have it, but I have already collected it. If needed, I will announce it to everyone shortly."
"Alright, since we are already here, there is no turning back," Andre sighed with a hint of melancholy.
Upon seeing this exchange between Alan and Andre, everyone showed curious expressions, wondering what riddle these two were speaking in. Alan did not make everyone wait too long. He turned his head and continued, "What I am about to say involves absolute secrecy. Although everyone has signed the magical contract, I still want to caution you. I hope everyone keeps their mouths shut."
全面 serious expression when he said this, everyone also became serious, even sitting up straight involuntarily.
"To make it easier for everyone to accept, I will just speak with evidence directly." With that, Alan raised his hand and pointed again. The content on the screen changed once more, and several more photos appeared. But what was different was that the subject of the photos this time was only one person. Some were close-up headshots, while others were long shots. Among these long shots, some were outside the park, and some were inside.
"This is... Clement? The owner of that magic item shop?" Upon seeing these pictures, some German Aurors recognized the man's identity and couldn't help but blurt out.
"That's right. This Clement is the main collaborator of the Silver Spears, and also the actual manager of No. 1 Park," Alan did not deny, giving a confirming response.
"But we've known about his connection with the Silver Spears for a long time. Clement also manages a black market in Berlin. It doesn't seem strange that he's in charge of this base, does it?" An Auror looked at Alan somewhat inexplicably, not understanding what this had to do with the secret just mentioned.
"Don't be anxious," Alan smiled slightly. "Presenting these pictures is just a premise—a premise to prove that his status within the Silver Spears is not low. By a stroke of luck, I used my identity to connect with this Clement, and I installed a small toy on him, which allowed me to use his vision to see and hear everything he saw and heard."
Alan then waved his hand, and the scene on the screen changed again, but this time it was not a picture, but a video. "This is the footage I recorded during his contact with the Silver Spears. Everyone, please watch carefully." After saying that, Alan let the video start playing and slowly sat down himself.
The surrounding people, seeing Alan's expression, knew that this footage might contain the big secret that Alan and Andre had talked about, so they focused their attention on the screen. The content playing on the screen was precisely the scene of Clement meeting Golden Knight in the black market's darkroom. However, apart from the initial greetings, the beginning showed Clement reporting on his meeting with Alan and his evaluation of him.
While watching this content, everyone was amazed by the technology that could record and play back images, and also indirectly learned about Alan through Clement's conversation. They never expected that this young man had such a dark heart, daring to extort Clement the first time they met. Just hearing the amount of money they discussed made everyone secretly gasp.
And when they heard the Silver Spear instigating Clement to cause trouble using his West German Endeavor Society, everyone's faces instantly darkened. They also began to feel strange, wondering why the voice of this Silver Spear sounded so familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before. Until the end, when Clement asked for instructions from the other party, revealing Alan's desire to visit this Silver Spear and seek his opinion.
Everyone felt a slight chill in their hearts, and a few among them had already vaguely guessed the true identity of this Silver Spear, but still couldn't believe the fact, their eyes widening in disbelief. And Andre, who had also watched the complete recording, had an even more terrifyingly grim expression. He recognized the other party's identity the moment he heard the Silver Spear's first sentence, and combined with the other party instigating infighting among civilian groups, how could he not see the trickery behind this series of events in Germany?
"This..." After the video finished playing, a German Auror showed a shocked expression, his gaze constantly shifting between Andre and Alan. "The Silver Spear who appeared in this video, could it be that one? What Clement said, the person you were going to visit, could it be...?"
"Exactly!" Alan then made a decisive statement. "For a period of time after these two met, I only met two people: one is Director Andre beside me, and the other is the one you saw in the video, our Minister for Magic—Minister Peter!"
Alan's words, once spoken, were like a giant rock smashing into a calm lake, immediately making the scene as noisy as a market. Even Newt and Amelia, who had not known this information beforehand, showed shocked expressions. And the German Aurors were even more agitated.
"What? This is impossible!" an Auror, who was slow to react, exclaimed.
"So it really was him, I just felt the voice sounded so familiar," this was the heartfelt thought of an Auror after confirming what he had suspected.
"Why? Why would Minister Peter do this? Why would he collude with the Silver Spears and instigate civilian groups to cause trouble?" This was the furious roar of an Auror who hated evil and was emotionally agitated.
"This doesn't entirely prove that Minister Peter is with the Silver Spears, does it? The person in the video is wearing a mask, and the voice could also be processed!" This was the questioning remark from an Auror who refused to believe it.
"Silence!" Alan saw the scene in chaos and immediately shouted loudly, then said, "This is only part of the evidence!"
Everyone was slightly shaken by Alan's magically imbued voice, and then slowly closed their mouths. However, when they looked at Alan again, the confusion, shock, and other emotions in their eyes still had not faded.
"During my investigation of No. 1 Park, I discovered that there were many XXX-level alchemy pieces from Silver Lightning Trading Company in this base. This equipment is prohibited from being sold to ordinary wizards and must be directly negotiated with the British Ministry of Magic. The presence of so much equipment in the Silver Spears' location itself indicates a problem."
After saying that, Alan turned his head to look at Amelia beside him. "Director Amelia, before coming, I asked you to tally the export situation of XXX-level equipment. May I ask how much XXX-level equipment Germany has imported from Britain, and who the purchasers are, as well as the corresponding quantities?"
"So that's why you asked me for this data," Amelia looked at Alan with a sudden realization, then calmly said, "Currently, there are only three German entities that import from us: one is Gringotts in Germany, one is the branch of Obscurus Books, and the other is... the German Ministry of Magic!"
