Chapter 667 Comes Earlier Than Before...

Autumn in the North comes much earlier.So time has entered September, and the weather is starting to get colder.

For people in the north, it is the golden autumn and September.

Originally, Celtic City was rich in geothermal resources, and it was regarded as a place with a famous warm climate in the Northland.The autumn and winter in the whole basin are longer than other places, about half a month to a month at night.

But this year's autumn in the Northland came earlier than before...

The tall trees on both sides of the road have already begun to have yellow leaves.

Pedestrians began to wear long clothes and trousers, preparing for the cold winter in the Northland.

In the tavern, many guests can be heard discussing anxiously: this year is so cold so early, I am afraid that there will be even more crazy autumn winds for the gray orcs.Even large wolf packs in the Northland will attack grazing herds because of food problems.

For the people of the Northland, every winter is a war to be prepared for!

However, Charlotte and the others didn't feel much about it.

Their knowledge of the Northland is still in the books, and they can't imagine the scene where the white-haired wind howls for several days and the house is buried by heavy snow...

Charlotte is on a mission with Alice, Xiao Jinli and Kaspersky.

Recently, the public security station in the city has been crazy busy, and the police force is extremely scarce.Therefore, a lot of work that should be done by the security team has been listed on the task board of the Adventurer's Guild.Prizes are funded by City Hall…

The task that Xiao Jinli took over was a simple bronze task - to investigate the missing Old John's family.

The Celtic city has not been peaceful recently, and many similar incidents have happened.

Charlotte took a few people and found the house where the mission was located.This is a single-family one-story wooden house, which looks old and has a small yard attached.

People in the Northland like to trim the garden. If your yard is well-groomed, the host will be very proud.

But now the yard is not very good, and there are a lot of dead branches and leaves on the path paved with bluestone.Those who didn't know thought the male host was a lazy guy.

Charlotte didn't take anyone directly into the yard, but came to a family not far away, which was the neighbor who discovered the disappearance of Old John's family.

"We are adventurers accepting investigation missions..." Charlotte unfolded the parchment and glanced at the middle-aged man.

In fact, the man was illiterate, but he knew the seal of the Adventurer's Guild.

"So, can you tell me how you found out that Old John's family was missing?" Charlotte asked.

The middle-aged man is thick and thick, and his stubble is also very thick. He is a typical northern man.He was right in the face of Charlotte, but there was a lot of worry in his eyes.

He said: "Old John would never let his yard be in such a mess! And I haven't seen him in the nearby pub for three days. This is not normal... Later, I went to their house to see, The door was locked tightly, and there seemed to be signs of a fight in the room. I hurried to report to the public security station! Goddess of the Earth blesses them, I hope they are okay..."

Charlotte nodded, he knew the man was telling the truth.But sometimes, the truth may not be the truth.

"So, no one has been in Old John's house yet?" Charlotte asked again.

The man replied: "Yes. The old neighbors around us all know that something has happened, and no one dares to go in."

This is a mature approach, and it is the experience gained by many daredevils with their lives: those dangers that can cause death are not something ordinary people can handle!

Charlotte lit a thin cigar, the cigar was so strong that it made the man twitch his nose cryptically.

There is no man in the North who does not like to smoke!

So Charlotte handed one over.

"Oh, my God! Thank you, my friend! A good Amway black cigar, 35 Silver Deer! But it's worth the money... Hiss~hoo!" After he lit it, he took a puff, feeling very comfortable, and Even the worry has eased a lot.

Charlotte asked a lot about Old John's family, including family members, social relations and so on.

Old John has a family of five, two sons and one daughter.The eldest son is 18 years old and has joined the army in the capital.The remaining two children are both minors and live with their parents.

In other words, there should be four people who disappeared together.

Although Old John has a bit of a poisonous mouth, he is a nice person, so he has many friends.Although there are a few things that are not dealt with, it is definitely not a deep hatred.

After a while, Xiao Jinli also came back and told Charlotte the information he had investigated.The information on both sides is basically consistent.

Just now, Charlotte asked Xiao Jinli to take a small bag of tobacco leaves to inquire about the news.

This kid is a bit introverted, and he can only let go in front of acquaintances. Charlotte wants to train him.

After a series of operations, Charlotte stunned Xiao Jinli and Kaspersky!Can the original mission still do this?How do you feel that the boss/uncle Charlotte is more professional than the investigators of the security team?

After the information was confirmed, Charlotte led the team and directly entered the courtyard.

Charlotte turned on the witcher's focused senses, and there were no clues in the whole yard.And the footprints on the bluestone slab match those of the man next door.

The front door was locked from the inside, and Charlotte pushed, very securely.

The civilians could not afford glass, so the windows were covered with wooden boards.Charlotte looks through the gap...

The room was rather dark, and it was possible to see that the tables, chairs, and pans were all over the floor, and there were not many bloodstains on the ground.

There appeared to be a brief violent struggle before the family was subdued or killed.

Charlotte winked at Alice, and Alice nodded. Her shadow followed the crack of the door and pulled the thick bolt open.

Charlotte took a look. The door bolt was a solid wood door bolt thicker than a brick, and there was no trace left on it.

The same goes for the windows, which are plugged from the inside!

Charlotte: Is it a secret room murder?Very good!Invite Conan, Kindaichi, Holmes, Di Renjie and the boy Bao Qingtian, upper body!

Then Alice tugged at Charlotte and pointed to the marks on the ground.

Charlotte saw that there were obvious drag marks on the ground and some blood.

Followed to the kitchen to have a look, Made!It's not a secret room murder case!

In the corner of the kitchen, there is a vegetable cellar, which is now wide open.The drag trace pointed there.

In Beidi, many people have vegetable cellars in their homes.

Because the winter in the North is very cold, there are no fresh vegetables to eat throughout the winter.

In order to prevent the stored vegetables from being damaged by freezing, a basement 2-3m deep is dug in the house to store vegetables.This kind of vegetable cellar does not need heating and can maintain a moderate temperature.

Sometimes, in order to prevent the temperature from being too low to freeze the vegetables, a few tanks of water are generally placed in the vegetable cellar, and the heat released by the freezing of the water is used to keep the temperature of the vegetable cellar neither high nor low.

In order to store vegetables for winter, almost every household in Beidi has a vegetable cellar.The vegetables that are generally stored are mainly potatoes, radishes, carrots, etc. that are often eaten in winter and are suitable for preservation.Of course, you can also put the jar of pickled cucumbers in the vegetable cellar!

The vegetables in the vegetable cellar need to be placed in a certain way, and they need to be observed from time to time...

Charlotte casually summoned a small fireball, illuminating the depths of the vegetable cellar.There are no vegetables for this winter in the vegetable cellar, and there are no corpses or remains, but there are several jars of pickles.

In a corner of this large vegetable cellar, there is a collapsed soil hole nearly one meter in diameter!

Something dug through the vegetable cellar, then attacked the family and dragged them all into the hole!
