Chapter 135 Being interrogated
Merlin wanted to take off its red hijab, but was kicked far away by someone with three eyes.
"Your name is?"
"Lumi Guriel."
"How did you come to China?"
"Portkey."
"I haven't received a notice from your country's Ministry of Magic. Can I understand that this was smuggled in by you?"
"Okay, because we just want to sneak in for fun."
"...What is the purpose of coming to China?"
"Have breakfast."
"Tell the truth."
"It's really time to have breakfast. I heard that the food here is very delicious, so I brought my girlfriend here to eat."
"Wait a minute, girlfriend? That little girl next door?"
"Ah."
"Haha, your country is so... so... open."
"hey-hey."
The two of them spoke fluent English, and their fluency in speaking completely surpassed that of the previous child Li Xiang.
While Lumi was being questioned, Luna next door was also going through the same thing.
As for why the police knew about magic?
This has to bring up what happened when the two first arrived at the police station.
Those hiding in the shadows showed their IDs to the police and produced freshly printed documents to prove their identities.
However, the police uncle still dealt with them responsibly for half an hour. It was not until several senior officers in the police station signed the document that Lumi and Luna were officially handed over to them.
After another half hour of riding in the car, the two finally arrived at their destination.
This is a hollowed-out mountain. An ancient-style building made of red bricks and green tiles stands here. There are many neatly arranged square courtyards inside.
When Lumi entered the mountain, he felt several powerful sources of magic power, and the magic power displayed was not weaker than Dumbledore's.
This made Lumi feel a little nervous, but not much.
The two were taken to two huts and questioned respectively by young men and women wearing black uniforms.
At the same time, the wands on their bodies were taken away, and the two sat on chairs for interrogation.
They did not take away the bag, but only took away the wand. It was obvious that Lumi and Luna were unable to cast spells without a wand due to their age, and taking away the wand was just a routine move.
Lumi's mahogany wand was confiscated, while the elder wand was lying quietly in Lumi's small bag.
Unlike Lumi's helplessness, Luna seemed very excited when being questioned.
The interrogators who asked her questions laughed at her attitude.
After spending an hour together, Lumi gradually understood the status of Chinese practitioners in their country.
Internationally, there is the United Society of Wizards, who signed the Statute of Secrecy and hid the wizarding world from the Muggle world.
Wizards in other countries hide themselves honestly, but China is different.
They say one thing and hide another.
In this building that resembled an ancient palace, Lumi saw several Chinese people wearing wizard robes talking, and there were even a few guys using magic wands as chopsticks to eat noodles.
When they came into contact with other countries, the ones who came forward were those wizards in robes and wands, making other countries think that their lives were similar to theirs.
But actually?
He specifically used magic power to detect some things.
Every wizard within them becomes a member of the system after graduation, specializing in dealing with things that ordinary people cannot handle.
The benefits are excellent, with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 200 galleons a month.
There are also pension subsidies, medical priority, private rooms and cars, etc.
In addition, there are two magic schools in China, one of which is open to international students. Tell them that it is not that our country does not have students for you, but that we have our own schools, and most of the students do not want to leave their countries.
Of course, there are many foreigners in this school.
The other school is in Sichuan, the hinterland of China. There is a school larger than Hogwarts hidden there. This is the school where students enter the institutional system after graduation.
As for how you know?
In the largest hall, there is a moving map with quite detailed information.
"What on earth are you here for?"
"Smuggler travel."
Lumi, who answered the question for the third time, successfully defeated the interrogator.
He slapped the table and said loudly: "Don't think that I won't dare to do something to you when you are still a child! Your behavior can definitely shoot you as spies!"
"But everything I said is true. We just wanted to travel, we just didn't report it."
Lumi said helplessly.
Just when the interrogator wanted to continue asking questions, the door was opened, and the female interrogator next door came to him and said something in his ear.
Then, under Lumi's magical perception, the interrogator's expression was first stunned, then full of disbelief, and finally looked at Lumi with complicated eyes.
It all started with Luna next door.
Lumi, who can sense through walls, naturally knows exactly what his girlfriend has done.
When the female interrogator asked Luna whether she had considered what she would do if caught, Luna took out the small bag she had given her.
This is what she said at the time: "Lumi said, if I get caught, I will give you gifts and bribe you!"
This move amused the female interrogator on the spot, and she thought Luna was joking for a while.
It wasn't until she took out a piece of cut colored dragon-patterned glass that she realized that the little girl's words were not false.
She took out several more pieces of dragon-patterned glass from her bag, and while she was piecing them together with trembling hands, she rushed out of the room, came to the interrogation room where Lumi was, and told the interrogator what had happened.
This is how the interrogator's expression changed.
"I also have something here, in my bag, that I can give back to you."
As he spoke, Lumi took off the bag containing the cultural relics from his waist, put it in his palm and spread it out.
The male interrogator took one suspiciously, and casually took it out, which was a piece of paper in a box.
It says in English: Authentic work of Hong Xiuquan.
Seeing this, the male interrogator was stunned for a while, then put it on the interrogation table, and then took it out again.
A jade pot with a thin body and a branch pattern was taken out. Its strong Chinese elements made the interrogator's face no longer tense.
He looked at Lumi and his voice was trembling: "You use this to bribe cadres?"
"Isn't it enough?"
"...enough."
The small bags brought by Lumi and Luna were put away by them, and a lot of magic was given to others.
Now that the two men are no longer being interrogated, they are sitting in a house with a period atmosphere.
The decoration here is very Chinese style, very beautiful, luxurious and grand.
At the same time, the interrogator also thoughtfully presented two local Chinese desserts and a pot of fragrant green tea.
“It’s great here.”
Luna took a sip of tea and was accidentally attacked by its bitterness, sticking out her tongue.
"It's great, but our smuggling trip was a failure."
After handing her a piece of soft pea yellow, Lumi said: "I didn't expect that I would be discovered without even finishing breakfast. This country is so amazing."
Luna took a bite of the pea yellow and nodded in agreement, saying, "If we successfully smuggle him across the border and go for a week without being discovered, then this country will be like a bubble."
"makes sense."
