Chapter 46: The Old House of Gaunt(2/2)
So on the surface, he fulfilled all the tasks assigned by the professor perfectly.
In fact, he has always been making small moves.
The most critical node is that after he mastered enough power through study, he returned to his parents' hometown.
He first found his father, Tom Riddle Sr.
After a bitter disappointment, he killed everyone in Riddle House.

And did the same thing to his uncle."
"If Voldemort hid the Horcrux in the cave last time, it was because it was in that cave that he realized for the first time that his own powerful power allowed him to defeat and torture the weak at will, which has a special meaning for him.
"
John said thoughtfully, "In the same way, Riddle House and Gunter's Old House should also have different meanings. Because he bid farewell to his past here... So, do you think that in these two places it should also have different meanings?"
Hidden Horcrux?"
"To be precise, it's the Gaunt House." Dumbledore said, "Because when I was looking through my memories, I found a very special item - the Gaunt family's ring.
That thing, like Slytherin's locket, is an ancestral treasure of the Gaunt family.
And I clearly remember that Voldemort once held that ring when he was studying at Hogwarts.
Since Slytherin's locket has been made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, I have reason to believe that Gaunt's ring is likely to be one of the Horcruxes.
Based on the special significance of Gaunt's ring, I think Voldemort will definitely choose Gaunt's old house instead of Riddle House."
"In other words, the Horcrux ring is hidden in front of us..."
John murmured softly.
Dumbledore nodded.
