It was a sunny day. Because it was a working day, the zoo was not as crowded as it was during the weekend. There were only some children who were on holiday and couples who were walking around.
At the entrance, there was a cart selling desserts, cold drinks, and ice cream. A pretty girl was selling them. She probably thought that Jon and Joanne were a couple like other people. Jon was too tall, and he did not look out of place when he stood next to Joanne. Jon bought a large chocolate ice cream for Joanne and a cup of honey tea iced orange for himself.
After all, in this hot weather, cold drinks were actually more suitable. Of course, the ice cream was not bad, Jon thought to himself. It just might be easier to melt.
Jon and Joanne walked into the zoo. The first thing inside was the orangutan zoo. Jon took a sip of the cold drink and glanced inside the zoo. He happened to see a gorilla waving and dancing. It looked very much like Dudley Dursley, but it was a chimpanzee, and not as fat as Dudley.
On the other hand, Joanne laughed out loud at the sight of the dancing gorilla. Jon looked at her silently. This was probably the happiest morning of Joanne's life in a while.
It was normal to relax properly, and for a writer, there must always be a proper relaxation.
Lunch was done in the zoo restaurant. Although the steak here was very bad, the sundae was still good. The only problem was that Joanne felt that the sundae was too high in calories and gave half of it to Jon.
Then Jon was stuffed to the brim.
After lunch, they came to the destination, which was the reptile house.
This was Jon's main purpose this time. In Joanne's previous investigation, there was only a brief description of the previous incident. And this incident, because of Harry's strong magic reaction, was only classified as an accident, and it was not even publicized.
Besides, animal escapes were not a big deal in zoos.
The air in the reptile house was very humid, and the light was not very good. It was very comfortable to enjoy such a cool and natural breeze in such hot weather.
Through the glass, he watched all kinds of lizards and snakes crawling around on the blocks of wood and stones. It was as if no animal had ever run away.
"No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like something happened not long ago."
Jon tilted his head and whispered to Joanne.
Joanne disagreed. "Do you think the work efficiency of capitalist countries is as slow as what we see? There's a reason why some things are slow. It's because they're not important that they're slow and procrastinating. If there's really something that needs to be suppressed, the efficiency will definitely be quite high. "
"I know, because I am a capitalist. I know very well the temptation of money."
"You still have a long way to go. Although you are indeed mature and steady enough, the capitalist's heart is much darker than yours. You can be considered a rich person at best."
Joanne replied. He didn't know what she was thinking, but her words were a bit cold.
Jon didn't care about her coldness. He glanced at the large glass exhibition in front of him, trying to find the Brazilian python. "I'll take that as a compliment. But when you investigated, did you find the place where the accident happened?"
The brown python should be nearby. With such a strong attack power and such a large size, it should be the most obvious existence in this exhibition hall.
"The place where the accident happened last time is there."
Joanne's hand holding the ice cream jumped slightly and pointed to the glass room not far in front of Jon.
But there was obviously only a big lizard inside, and there was no so-called python.
"The people here should have changed to a new place for the sake of safety. But why are you in such a hurry to find the python?"
"I have my purpose. Anyway, it's just to collect some materials. It's not important."
Jon touched the ring on his left hand, then took out the magic wand. Using Joanne as a cover, he stuffed it into the pocket of his shorts.
Fortunately, his pocket was relatively deep, and only the tail of the more than 20 centimeters long wand poked out slightly.
"Speaking of which, the environment here has been changed for so long. Can you still do profiling?"
"Of course, profiling is not as good as you think, and it's not as good as you think."
Joanne closed her eyes, leaned against the glass cabinet, and closed her eyes.
However, soon after, she opened her eyes again.
"The amount of information extracted is a bit small. The environment here fluctuates too much. Ugh, but there is still some useful information, especially this glass. There are traces of it being replaced."
"What do you mean?"
"This glass," Joanne gently knocked on the glass, "is new."
"New?"
Jon leaned over and touched the glass, but he didn't feel anything wrong.
"Could it be that the staff here changed it?"
"No, there are no signs of tools being pried open. Also, the smell is not right. If the glass was changed in this weather, there would definitely be the smell of work clothes. When I first came in, I smelled the repairman who fixed the light signs. They all have the same smell of dust and rot, but there is no such smell here."
"Then … there is only one explanation."
The little Wizard had all kinds of magical powers. When he was completely controlled by his will, he was similar to a house elf. However, after the age of 11, his magic power had to be controlled to prevent it from going berserk.
Jon had experienced this before. When in danger, the magic power in his body would automatically protect his master. It would even resonate with the surrounding magical environment to protect himself.
Hatred could have the same effect, or it could just be a moment of revenge. Children's minds were pure, and everything was pure. It was the case for kindness and it was the same for malice.
Therefore, it wasn't impossible for Harry Potter to change the original glass and then summon a new one to lock Dudley in.
Joanne nodded. Both of them knew what was going on, so there was no need to say it out loud in public.
After all, no matter how soft they were, it could still be heard. Since everyone knew what was going on, there was no need to say it out loud.
The two of them walked all the way forward. They walked through almost half of the stadium before they found the brown python.
At that time, he had failed to escape, and this giant python was now coiling around a huge tree.
It was sleeping soundly.
