Autumn in the Northland comes much earlier. So as the time entered September, the weather began to get colder.

For the people of the Northland, it is the golden autumn of September.

Originally, Celtic City was rich in geothermal resources, and it was a well-known place in the north with a warm climate. The whole basin is more than the autumn and winter in other places, and the evening is about half a month to a month.

But this year's autumn in the Northland came a little earlier than usual......

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

Passers-by began to put on long coats and trousers, ready for the cold winter of the Northland.

In the tavern, many guests can be heard talking worriedly: this year is so cold so early, I am afraid that the gray orcs will usher in an even more crazy autumn wind. Even large wolves in the Northland can attack grazing herds because of food problems.

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

However, Charlotte didn't feel too much about it.

Their understanding of the Northland is still stuck in books, and they can't imagine the scene of the white-haired wind howling for days and the heavy snow burying the house......

Charlotte takes Alice, Little Golden Calendar, and Kaspersky on a mission.

Recently, the city's security office has been overwhelmed, and there is a huge shortage of police personnel. Therefore, a lot of the work that should be done by the security team has been hung on the quest release board of the adventurer's guild. The prize money is allocated by the town hall......

The task that Little Jin Li took on was a simple bronze mission - to investigate the missing old John's family.

Recently, there has been a lot of peace in Celtic City, and there have been a lot of similar incidents.

Charlotte took a few people and found the house at the mission location. It's a detached one-story wooden house that looks a little old, and it has a small yard attached.

Northlanders love to mow their gardens, and if their yard is beautifully maintained, the man will be very proud.

But now this yard is not very good, and there are a lot of dead branches and leaves on the bluestone paved path. I don't know, I think the man is a lazy man.

Charlotte did not take anyone directly into the courtyard, but came to a family not far away, which was the neighbor who found the old John's family missing.

"We are adventurers on an investigative mission...... Charlotte unfolded the parchment and glanced at the middle-aged man.

Actually, 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 stout and has a very thick stubble, which is a typical Northland man. He was not vain at all 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 so messy!" And I haven't seen him in a nearby tavern for three days. This is not normal...... Later, I went to their house to see that the door was locked, and there seemed to be signs of a fight in the house. I hurried to the police station to report the crime! Mother Earth God bless, I hope they are okay......"

Charlotte nodded, he knew the man was telling the truth. Sometimes, though, the truth isn't necessarily the truth.

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

The man replied, "Yes." The old neighbors around us knew that something was wrong, and no one dared to go in. ”

This is a mature practice, and it is the experience of many daredevils who have learned with their lives: those dangers that can cause death are not something that ordinary people can handle!

Charlotte lit a thin cigar, which was so fragrant that the man twitched his nose vaguely.

There is no Northland man who doesn't like to smoke!

So Charlotte handed over one.

"Oh my God! Thanks friends! The best Amway black cigar, 35 silver deer! But great value for money...... Hiss~Whew! He lit it and took a sharp puff, which was so pleasant that even his worries were relieved a lot.

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

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

That is to say, there should be four people who disappeared together.

And although Old John has a bit of a poisonous mouth, he is a good person, so he has a lot of friends. Although there are a few that I don't deal with, it's definitely not a deep hatred.

After a while, Xiao Jinli also came back and told Xia Luo the information about his investigation. The information on both sides is basically the same.

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

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

Charlotte made a series of operations and suppressed both the little golden calendar and Kaspersky! Can the original mission still do this? How do you feel that Boss/Uncle Charlotte is more professional than the investigators of the vigilantes?

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

Charlotte opened the witcher's senses of concentration, and there were no clues in the entire courtyard. And the footprints on the bluestone slab match the man next door.

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

Civilians can't afford glass, so the windows are covered by wooden panels. Charlotte peered through the gap......

The room was relatively dim, and you could see that the tables, chairs, and pans were all falling to the ground, and there were not too many blood stains on the ground.

It appears that there was a brief fight, and then the family was subdued or killed.

Charlotte winked at Alice, who nodded, and her shadow slipped through the crack in the door and pulled open the thick deadbolt.

Charlotte took a look, and the deadbolt was a solid wood bolt thicker than bricks, leaving no marks on it.

It's the same with the windows, they're all plugged in from the inside!

Charlotte: Is it a murder in a closed room? That's great! Please Conan, Kanedaichi, Sherlock Holmes, Di Renjie and the teenager Bao Qingtian, go up!

Then Alice pulled Charlotte and pointed to the marks on the ground.

Charlotte looked at it, and there were obvious drag marks on the ground, as well as some blood stains.

Then I went to the kitchen and looked, Made! It's not a murder in a closed room!

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

In Northland, many people have vegetable cellars at home.

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

In order to prevent the stored vegetables from being frozen, dig a basement 2-3m deep in the house to store vegetables. This kind of vegetable cellar does not need to be heated, and can maintain a temperature that is neither hot nor cold.

Sometimes, in order to keep the temperature from freezing and spoiling the vegetables, a few jars of water are generally placed in the vegetable cellar, and the heat released by the water freezing is used to maintain the temperature of the vegetable cellar so that it is neither high nor low.

In order to store winter vegetables, Northland basically has a vegetable cellar. Generally, the stored vegetables are potatoes, turnips, carrots and other types 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 need to be observed from time to time......

Charlotte casually summoned a small fireball to light up the depths of the cellar. There are no greens for this winter in the cellar, and there are no corpses or wreckage, but there are a few pickle jars.

In the corner of this large vegetable cellar, there is a collapsed earth hole with a diameter of nearly one meter!

Something dug through the cellar and attacked the family, dragging them all into the hole!
