Chapter 486 There is a clue
"You two saw that you forgot that something is still cooking in the pot while reading?!"
In front of the kitchen door on the first floor, Jin Li looked angry like a furious head The bear's red hair is like a flame, seeming to burn everything around it.
Heli, who was in charge of cooking, and Lu Li, who was helping, were like frightened quails, standing there with their heads lowered, not daring to express their anger.
In the living room on the second floor, Frederick was flipping through a book on the sofa. He had just deliberately said that it was not a big deal, but Jin Li glared back at him.
This was an internal matter of the Aurora warriors, and it was not easy for Frederick to interfere.
He heard Hua Qiulei say that there is a strong sense of hierarchy between them. If the positions in the church are at the same level, those who graduated in the previous year can strictly educate the younger ones, and those who graduated with good grades in the same year can educate them. Those with poor grades.
Frederick knew that Psyche was writing a book at work, but he had never read it, so he looked through the book "Detective Holmes and the Bloody Footprints" and ruined it. Pot radish stewed with seal.
The story begins when a team of night watchmen were patrolling Weissenburg City one night and heard a scream coming from the alley. They found that a young man had been murdered, and the murderer escaped without a trace.
The police station did not find many clues when investigating the scene and thought it was an ordinary robbery and murder case. However, the protagonist, senior detective Holmes, had a different view. From the wounds, he deduced that the murderer was a professional. An inconspicuous clue in the pool of blood on the ground was a half-bloody footprint on the roof of the house next to her.
Then Holmes led the police to the deceased's home and found a note in the deceased's diary, which recorded a set of dates and corresponding strange numbers.
He soon discovered a huge conspiracy while investigating the strange number, which attracted the murderer's assassination.
After reading ten lines at a glance, Frederick was sure that this book was the world's first mystery novel, and he was also sure that Psyche's purpose in publishing this book was to sell soy sauce, because The protagonist asks for soy sauce every time he eats stew.
Heli quickly made lunch again after being scolded. This time it was relatively simple, noodles with red tomato, mushroom and fish meat sauce. There was a lot of ginger powder in the meat sauce to make it a bit spicy, and fish heads were used. Fish tail and mushroom soup.
At the dinner table, Jin Li asked Frederick: "Sir, what are your requirements in life?"
Frederick shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have any requirements. It's just that I'm not used to the work and rest time here. I'd better follow the schedule I have in the south."
Now there are only four hours a night here, and people are competing for time. Frederick couldn't stand having only five hours of rest a day at most.
Hurry asked: "Sir, we don't have soy sauce here. Can the stew be made according to our traditional method?"
Frederick smiled and said: "No problem, as you like Just get used to it.”
After lunch, the four of them were reading in the living room. No one was talking quietly. Frederick wanted to chat with Jin Li and the others, just look at the atmosphere. .
Time passed little by little, and the only sound in the room was the turning of pages, and from time to time the girl's breathing increased when she saw the tense parts.
The alarm clock in the living room broke the afternoon tranquility. Holly reluctantly put down the book and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare the second meal.
There are a lot of sea fish here, so Heli made a meal of cod stewed with mushrooms, which was quite delicious.
While eating, Frederick asked: "What is the chief minister busy with recently?"
This question of his was very impolite. It is inappropriate to ask rashly about the movements of other people's top leaders no matter where they are. It's appropriate, but I have to take care of business first before I come here.
Jin Li and Heli said they didn't know. They were waiting for Frederick to come over and didn't pay attention to his daily actions.
At this time Lu Li said: "I heard from the church driver that the first sacrifice went to the village in the south, and the Elizabeth potatoes there are ready to be harvested."
Frederick thought to himself, so this is the case, In the past, potatoes could not be grown here in the north due to the short summer time. Later, varieties with short growth cycles were developed, so Hua Qiulei was sent over to see if they could be grown.
He said to Jin Li: "Please inform me, I also want to see the harvest situation."
Jin Li agreed and asked Lu Li to drive him to the south later. Village report.
Now Frederick and Hurley were the only two people left in the room. Hurley went to wash the dishes and make buns and noodles for tomorrow. After Frederick took a bath, he went back to the bedroom, got into the bed and turned on the light to continue reading.
What Frederick was reading was a travel diary written by a local Aurora warrior. She had been helping to defend against wild beasts and practicing medicine among the tribes in the north for many years. She had been to many places and had also met Psyche who came to travel in the north. and Richard Nall et al.
He read quickly, looking for words related to minerals between the lines.
Now the largest iron ore area has been discovered in the Dark Land in the south, located in the area where the northern part of the Sverier Kingdom meets the Sami Alliance.
King Kosdorf of the Kingdom of Sverriers has been sending pirates across the sea to plunder southward. Frederick felt that he would have to fight with him sooner or later and could not put his eggs in the same basket, so in the Sami Alliance Find new sources of iron ore. A place in the book caught Frederick's attention. There was a forest where it was easy to get lost and the compass would fail there.
This shows that there is considerable iron ore in this place, which interferes with the magnetic field.
There was the sound of opening and locking the door outside the box bed. After a while, the door of the box bed also opened, and Heli got in wearing a white cotton nightgown and holding a book.
"It's so warm here." Hurley said, "I come here to read."
The weather is quite cool here in July now, with the highest temperature only 20 degrees Webster. dropped below 10 Webster degrees.
Frederick moved to let the girl in.
This box bed is not small, big enough for several people to come in, and there is a carbon stove under the bed for heating in winter.
Hurry sat down directly next to Frederick, leaning on the wooden board at the head of the bed, her face slightly red, and she concentrated on reading.
After a while, she asked Frederick: "Can vegetables really be grown in a glass house?"
"Yes." Frederick nodded, "Now Hua Er Qiulei and the others are learning how to build a greenhouse and will come back next year to teach everyone.”
Hurley whispered to him: "Is it okay not to let Valkyrie come back?"
Frederick asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"She is very fierce!" Heli looked like she was saying something very scary, "You saw Jin Li scolding me just now. When she scolded Jin Li, Jin Li was more scared than I was just now."
Fate Lie scratched his head and said, "I've never seen her that scary."
Heli shook her head and said, "She definitely doesn't dare to be fierce in front of you."
Frederick thought about it. He was a famous prince after all, and she didn't dare to hurt him.
“Let me ask you something.” Frederick asked, “Do you know where the Grouse Forest is?”
Hurley replied: “Yes, it’s far away from here. , it’s estimated to be a thousand kilometers by foot. You don’t need to walk that far by boat first, it’s about two hundred kilometers.”
Frederick nodded and asked: “Can’t the compass be used there? ?”
Heli replied: “That’s right, you can only find the direction by which side of the moss grows on the rocks and tree trunks.”
Frederick thought about whether he should go there and see if there was really iron ore.
The box bed became quiet again, with only the sound of turning books.
“It turns out he is the murderer?!” Heli exclaimed when she saw the last scene.
Frederick smiled and said: "I didn't expect it."
"Yes." Holly nodded, "I really didn't expect that the murderers were actually the night watchmen who reported the crime. They were discovered poisoning the water tower and killed the young man.”
Frederick said again: "Actually, there are clues ahead."
"Really?" Hurley planned to read it a second time.
Frederick nodded and said: "Really, you will know after watching it again."
He saw that the time was not too early for his biological clock, and he should go to see the first priest tomorrow , it’s time to sleep.
So Frederick said to Hurley: "I'm going to sleep first. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave."
After he finished speaking, he moved his position, patted the pillow, pulled the quilt and fell asleep.
