Star Gate

　　　　 Zhang Family Old House.

　　 In the small courtyard.

　　 Li Hao is still sweating all over, and he is terrified.

　　 One year of his career in the inspection department, Li Hao still had some gains. If he were to change to the Yincheng Ancient Courtyard, Li Hao might not be able to perform a scene as it is today, without changing his face.

　　 "Hurry up and find it, you have to leave immediately to prevent the opponent from killing the carbine!"

　　 "Black Panther!"

　　 Li Hao cast his gaze on Black Panther. He was very familiar with the old house of the Zhang family, but the more familiar he was, the less often he could not find what he needed to find.

　　 Bringing the Panthers this time actually means using the Panthers.

　　 The panther looked up at Li Hao.

　　 Li Hao looked around, lowered his voice, and pointed to the jade sword on his chest, "Look for it, there should be something similar to this here, you have a good nose, search for it."

　　 Yes, Black Panther may be found.

　　 Before Li Hao's jade sword, Panther was very moved when he saw it.

　　 And Li Hao suspected that the black panther had wandered to his door, was it possible that he was attracted by the jade sword?

　　 Of course, Li Hao had not taken out the jade sword before, and the Panther had no chance to lick it.

　　 Until today, the Panthers had no chance.

　　 In that case, can the panther smell the stone knife?

　　 The Zhang family has been living here. Li Hao thinks that if the stone knife is really there, it should be in the house and will not be taken away. No one will go out with a stone in idle.

Besides?

　　 Black Panther understand!

　　 This time, the spirit came in an instant.

　　 As for the taste, the Panther did not smell it, and it can only smell a little by getting close to it.

　　 I don’t know, maybe I missed it.

　　 But now that I knew it, the Panther became interested in an instant, his nose began to twitch, his forelimbs lay down, his nose was on the ground, and he smelled little by little.

　　 If Li Hao finds one more, maybe this dog can also make a profit.

　　 The black panther was searching hard, Li Hao was not idle, and began to search in the courtyard.

　　 Wall corner, ground...

　　 The Red Shadow party must have looked for these places, but Li Hao judged that these people didn't know what the stone knife looked like, maybe they didn't even know that Zhang's knife would be a stone.

　　 Just like Li Hao, if he tells others that the cross he wears on his chest is the sword of the Li family in the slang, probably no one will believe it.

　　 cognitive barriers!

　　 The sword of the Li family, the sword of the Zhang family, just listening to slang, I am afraid that this sword is a treasure made of iron and mud, not to mention the gleaming light, it must be fierce and domineering.

　　 But in fact, the sword of the Li family is just a small jade pendant, and the sword of the Zhang family is an inconspicuous stone.

　　...

　　 Ten minutes, twenty minutes...

　　 Li Hao was a little anxious and couldn't find it.

Is 　　 gone?

　　 Did the Red Shadow party find it, or did the Zhang family really be lost? Not only did he not find it, but the Panthers smelled it and didn't find it either.

　　 If the black panther gets closer, you should be able to smell something, right?

"no!"

　　 Li Hao can't stay here all the time, just scared away the other party, it doesn't mean that the other party won't come back, besides, he can't keep searching here, then sooner or later someone will find out that he has no purpose.

　　He stood in the middle of the courtyard, looked at the main house and the second bedroom, thinking, if he were Father Zhang, where would he put this stone?

　　 Substitute into the role of Zhang's father, maybe it can be judged.

"At the beginning, Uncle Zhang didn’t care at all, so he just threw it away at will. Later, I came back and didn’t care if there was a stone knife on the ground, but then I came to Zhang’s house many times and didn’t seem to have seen it. If it’s still there for so many years , I should have seen it."

　　 "Uncle Zhang would not cherish it in all likelihood, otherwise it would not have been the attitude at the time, it would have been too casual."

　　 He quickly recalled everything from that year, although his memory was a little fuzzy.

　　 I can think about it now, I can still remember a little bit vaguely.

"Xiao Yuan was beaten up. It seemed that he didn't go out to play with me for two or three days. After that, I will come again... It may have been several days. Was the stone knife taken away by Uncle Zhang during that period? ?"

　　 "What would he do if he took a stone?"

　　 "It is very likely that during that period, the stone knife disappeared, otherwise I will see it again after so many years."

　　 Li Hao beat his head.

　　 was too young then, he really can't remember.

　　 What happened in the intervening few days, or did Uncle Zhang feel that the stone got in the way and just throw it away?

　　 If it is really lost... then there is no way to find it.

　　 A stone, more than ten years old, I don’t know where it was cleaned.

　　 "Black panthers can't even smell... Is it too far away, or is the sense of smell disturbed?"

　　 "The distance is too far, so needless to say, if the sense of smell is disturbed..."

　　 Li Hao's eyes moved suddenly.

　　 The sense of smell is disturbed, and the two places are most likely.

　　First, the kitchen.

　　 Second, Mao Keng!

　　 This kind of old house used to be a pit when I was young, but it was not a toilet.

　　 Of course, it's better not to be like this.

　　 "That's right... The pit and kitchen of Xiaoyuan's house seem to have been repaired when I was a child. A stone... won't be filled in, right?"

　　 Li Hao thought about this with some guesses and some uncertainty.

　　 This is the greatest possibility!

　　 If these two places are not there, then there is really no way to find them.

　　 "After Uncle Zhang beat Xiao Yuan, did he repair the kitchen or the pit first?"

Can not remember!

　　 But at this moment, Li Hao judged that if the stone knife is still in Zhang's house, there is a high probability that it will be in these two places.

　　 no longer hesitate, he immediately walked towards the kitchen.

　　 As for the Maokeng... unless the kitchen can't be found, he won't go, and if the stone knife is really in the Maokeng... Li Hao doesn't want to soak that thing in water in the future, and give Black Panther a drink.

　　 Anyway, he has a star sword!

　　 "Hope is in the kitchen!"

　　 "Black Panther, come with me!"

　　 Li Hao yelled quickly, and Black Panther hurriedly followed.

　　 The kitchen has not been used for many years, and I opened the door. The kitchen is still a large pot stove. The iron pot on it has long been rusted, and the lid has been somewhat decayed.

　　 "Let's smell it!"

　　 Li Hao pointed to the stove: "Black Panther, don't be disturbed by the smell!"

　　 The kitchen has not been used for many years, but because of the long time of use, there is still a faint smell of fireworks. This kind of smell may interfere with the panthers, and there is also some lingering smell of oily smoke.

　　 Black Panther was in the kitchen, indeed, a little confused, mainly because there was still a strong musty smell in the kitchen.

　　 The black panther came in and smelled it before, and found nothing.

　　 At this time, I heard Li Hao say that the panther moved quickly and jumped onto the stove, smelling little by little.

　　 Soon, the nose was stained with a layer of black wood ash.

　　 And Li Hao was not idle either. In the kitchen, you don't need to look at the repaired areas later. The main thing is to look at the repaired places more than ten years ago. Only those places may use stone knives.

In places like 　　, the forces behind Hongying may not be willing to watch more.

　　 Zhang's knife, where would the Zhang family hide?

　　 Of course, Li Hao took a brief look and found that Hong Ying and the forces behind it were really taken seriously. There were signs of turning over in the kitchen, and even the ashes under the stove had been stirred.

　　 The ashes that have been silent for many years are not what they are now, they may have been turned over.

　　 "Sure enough, the other party is also looking for it, not even letting go of the furnace, it's quite dedicated!"

　　 Will Zhang's heirloom be hidden in the ashes?

　　 If I changed to Li Hao, I'm afraid I didn't think it would. The other party still searched, which shows that it is quite rigorous.

　　 After waiting for a while, Panther still got nothing.

　　 Li Hao is a little disappointed, is it really in Maokeng?

　　 That's too disgusting!

As he was thinking, Li Hao's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly looked at the big chimney on the stove. The kitchens of this kind of old house are equipped with a brick chimney. Law treatment.

　　 "Um... the chimney?"

　　 Li Hao suddenly remembered something. Was this chimney built after Uncle Zhang beat Xiao Yuan?

　　He seems to be vaguely impressed!

　　 The black panther is not too big and not tall. He has been smelling it on the stove, but he can't climb the chimney tall.

　　 "Is it here?"

　　 Li Hao moved instantly, with agility, jumped onto the stove, grabbed the panther with one hand, and whispered: "Smell it!"

　　 He carried the panther and used the panther as a detector.

　　 As for the Black Panther, the eyes of the two dogs are full of helplessness.

　　 His nose twitched, and he followed Li Hao's arm all the way up to smell.

　　 walked up the stove for more than one meter. Suddenly, the black panther's nose twitched, and a familiar smell gradually filled the tip of his nose.

　　 "Wow!"

　　 Panther's eyes suddenly lit up.

　　 And Li Hao, also has sharp eyes!

Found?

　　 really here!

　　 The chimney... This is probably something that the forces behind Hong Ying could not think of. Who would have thought that the Zhang family would put the ancestral knife into the chimney.

　　 They might even have looked for it along the chimney!

Or Hong Ying simply probed, Hong Ying is invisible, Li Hao does not know whether the other party can escape through the wall, but the other party should have searched the wall and the ground, but their target may be what cracks, interlayers, boxes, etc. Treasure box or something.

　　 They would not think that the knife they cared about was just a stone.

　　 Li Hao's eyes lit up, staring at a little raised spot on the chimney, is the stone knife on it?

　　The mottled lime wall has fallen off.

　　 revealed some bricks in the chimney.

　　 Li Hao stretched out his hand and touched it. Some lime walls fell off again. The next moment, a dirt-gray stone appeared on the chimney, not completely exposed, but seeing the incomplete shape, Li Hao's eyes completely brightened!

"This is it!"

　　 Li Hao’s heart beating, that’s it. Although it’s not fully exposed, Li Hao’s memory has a vague look, like a stone with a knife, not too big, but a little bigger than a fist.

　　 "Uncle Zhang...really respects the ancestors!"

　　 Li Hao suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded. He beat his son for this stone.

　　 Good guy, when I turned to repair the kitchen at home, I put the stones left by my ancestors in there. You don’t have the same respect for your ancestors!

　　 If your ancestors of the Zhang family were still alive, they would probably die of anger.

　　 Among the eight great families, Li Hao doesn't know what the others are doing. Anyway, the sword of the Li family has been passed down as a family heirloom. If the stone of the Zhang family can be passed down, Li Hao feels that it is not easy!

　　 Maybe, it wasn’t like a stone back then?

　　 only gradually became petrified later, in the generation of Zhang's father, completely turned into stone?

　　 There was no time to think about it, and he didn't even bother to think about it. Li Hao looked at the stone embedded in the chimney in front of him, and his eyebrows narrowed slightly.

found it!

　　 But, it's not easy to take!

　　 It’s not that it can’t be taken. The point is that after taking the stone knife, the traces on the chimney are obvious.

　　 After a year in the inspection department, Li Hao still has experience. Once you move this place, Hong Ying and the people behind them will come back. You must check it out to see what Li Hao's purpose is.

　　 There is a stone missing on the chimney, maybe the other party will react soon!

If Li Hao were still a student of the ancient academy, he would take the stone knife as soon as possible. At that time, Hong Ying came back, and he would probably think for the first time that Zhang’s knife might be the stone that was taken away. Then Li Hao was in big trouble!

　　 By that time, Hong Ying will know that the stone knife is in Li Hao's hands, and it will cause a lot of trouble for herself if nothing happens.

　　 can even tell that Li Hao has guessed something, and even knows about the Eight Great Masters, and can reveal all of them all at once!

"what to do?"

　　 Li Hao thought quickly. Now that he saw it, he couldn't leave it alone. He put the stone knife here. He felt that Zhang's knife was not only a treasure, but also had other functions.

　　 The Red Shadow party attaches great importance to it, otherwise it would not be possible to risk the danger and keep monitoring here a year later.

　　 Li Hao frowned, took the stone knife, and filled it in with a stone?

　　 But the other party found it, but there is no silver three hundred taels!

　　 The old and new traces are still different.

　　 "It can only completely destroy the corpse and destroy the evidence, so that the other party can't find it. The best way is naturally to destroy the chimney... but is that too deliberate?"

　　 "Find a piece of the same stone, preferably a stone that looks almost the same... Then destroy the chimney. Even if the other party restores it afterwards, there will be no missing stone, and nothing will be found..."

　　 As a patrol inspector, Li Hao still mastered the basic professional skills, how to destroy evidence, how to create false evidence, and confuse the other party, these are all he has learned and seen in the past year.

　　 If it were simply destroyed, and the Red Shadow party secretly restored it afterwards, it would also be possible to restore the original chimney appearance and find that a stone was missing.

　　 Determined what he was going to do, Li Hao did not immediately take the stone knife.

　　 has been here for many years, no one cared about it, not in a hurry.

　　 Thinking of this, Li Hao let out a sigh of relief, and just find it, wait a moment, but this time I have to trouble the teacher.

　　...

　　Walking out of the kitchen, Li Hao directly dialed the teacher's communication.

　　 Soon, almost immediately after the fight, Yuan Shuo’s voice came: "Is it all right?"

　　 "Teacher, it's okay!"

With some gratitude, Li Hao said quickly, "Teacher, Zhang Yuan’s house hasn’t found much, but I found that someone seems to have been staring at Zhang Yuan’s house, and Zhang Yuan’s house seems to have been turned over by someone, you Is it the murderer who is looking for something?"

　　 Yuan Shuo listened and knew what he meant, and thoughtfully said: "Then what is your idea?"

　　 "I was thinking, can I lead the snake out of the hole?"

Li Hao quickly said: "Since the other party has come to Zhang Yuan's house, what else are they looking for? Didn't you find it? But I'm so quiet that I can't speak in the inspection department. If you don't bother the teacher, let the inspection department send someone to visit. A little bigger, demolish some of Zhang’s buildings and start to stun the snakes to see if they can lead to the murderer of Zhang Yuan."

　　 Demolition?

is this necessary?

　　 Of course, Zhang Yuan’s house is not the scene of the crime, and this one has been demolished a long time ago.

　　 Yuan Shuo is just guessing, did Li Hao discover something?

　　 So what do you want to get through this method, or can you really bring out the things behind?

　　 And Li Hao at this time also knows that demolishing the house is likely to attract the attention of the red shadow party, but it doesn't matter, the more fanfare the better, the better if the inspection department has a ghost.

　　 Telling each other the situation in detail, it would be more in line with Li Hao's wishes.

　　 He only needs to do one thing, replace the stone knife with a piece of the same stone, even if the other party restores everything afterwards, it’s nothing.

　　 The Red Shadow party, at that time, only guessed whether Li Hao had noticed something, and would not be sure what Li Hao had actually taken.

　　 At most, he thought that Li Hao had a strong reasoning ability and found some clues.

　　 And what Li Hao has to do is to make the other party doubt, but not sure, delay time, and make things worse, so that it is better to attract night watchers.

　　 "Publish dark things into the sight of the public... Whether it is a night watchman or a red shadow, it seems that they are reluctant to appear in front of the public, and are not willing to make things uproar!"

　　 "And I, as an ordinary person, I need more attention, and I can pick myself out, leaving the impression that I am a smart person, but an ordinary person who does not know the inside story!"

　　 "In order to avenge my friends, I chose to make things bigger...attracting more attention, which is also in line with my identity!"

　　"..."

　　 We weighed the pros and cons, and finally Li Hao had such a decision and choice.

　　 Maybe this way, it can attract the attention of night watchers in advance, and even get close contact. Li Hao can even report to it that he has found some clues, such as people who were stalking outside before.

　　 As for Hong Ying, he naturally didn't find it, but there were people outside!

　　 Li Hao even found a footprint on the outer wall. This is the best evidence. Obviously, the other party didn't care too much about his footprint.

　　 The brain quickly turned, and after determining the possible consequences, Li Hao chose to magnify the matter a little bit.

　　 On the other side of the communication, Yuan Shuo asked a few words and confirmed his choice as a student.

　　 Yuan Shuo knew that Li Hao was very smart and would not do it for no reason.

　　 Since that is the case, it is not a big deal, so please support some.

"Okay, I will call the Inspection Department right away! And Zhang Yuan is a student of the Ancient Academy. If it is really a murder, the Ancient Academy will not let it go! You first evacuate there, at most one hour, the Ancient Academy will send someone In the past, the Inspection Department would also pass..."

"Thank you, teacher!"

　　 Li Hao hurriedly thanked him, my own teacher, sometimes is quite interesting.

　　 Because of this, Li Hao is even more reluctant to tell the teacher about Hongying.

　　 No matter how authoritative, Yuan Shuo is just an ordinary person.

　　 Li Hao does not want to involve the teacher.

　　 "You are welcome!"

　　 Yuan Shuo didn't care too much about this, said a few more words, and chose to hang up the communication.

　　...

　　 Yincheng Ancient Courtyard.

　　 Deep in the ancient courtyard, in a classical mansion courtyard, Yuan Shuo is more than seventy years old, still full of energy and sharp eyes.

　　 is also quite strong, looking more like a soldier than a top professor in Silver City.

　　 At this moment, Yuan Shuo also has a file in front of him.

　　 Files on six self-immolation cases!

　　 "Inspectorate... really a sieve!"

Yuan Shuo hung up the communication, rubbed his temples, and cursed in a low voice. In recent years, the inspection department has become more and more useless. It is so easy to leak the file. Now if he wants to pay attention, Yin Many people in the city can get this file.

　　 "My student...I really don't worry about it. I dared to track down this matter secretly. Forget it, I dared to directly report it to the Inspection Department. I knew it was unusual at first sight!"

　　 sighed softly, young man, really inexperienced, the inspection department is a big sieve, don’t you know?

　　 As soon as the case file came out, anyone with a discerning eye could actually see some of the problems.

　　 "Li's sword, Zhang's sword, Zhao's fist, Liu's leg..."

　　 After humming the Yincheng slang for a while, Yuan Shuo quickly judged for a while, is this also related to his own student?

　　 "Six died, I don't know if it is related to this song."

　　As a native of Yincheng, he knew this song, and he was a well-known scholar. When he saw the archives, he actually got in touch with this song, because these surnames together are somewhat special.

　　 After a while, Yuan Shuo took out the communication and quickly dialed a number.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Shuo's tone was majestic, even with some anger: "I am Yuan Shuo! Don't talk nonsense with me, my students are now in danger. The self-immolation case that occurred in the ancient courtyard a year ago may be homicide, you guys. Does the inspection department have no information at all?"

　　"..."

"I don’t care about those. Li Hao is my student. He entered my school as soon as he entered the ancient academy. Do you know why? He is a genius, a top-level explorer, and the future of the ancient civilization exploration department. For your dereliction of duty, he I had to withdraw from the ancient courtyard. How much damage did you cause to the ancient courtyard?"

　　"..."

"Li Hao has discovered something now, but your inspection department is like a sieve, and you exposed him all at once. He is now in danger and may die at any time! Now he is in the home of the deceased student Zhang Yuan in the ancient courtyard, no matter what I do. , Even if you have leveled that street, you have to rescue Li Hao and catch me all the ghosts and ghosts in the dark!"

　　"..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you must send someone over immediately. I don't care whether the movement is big or not, I will immediately surround the street, push me a little bit, and surround the murderer who may exist in the dark. I have only one request. Li Hao must come back intact! "

　　"..."

"That's it. If you can't do it, I will go directly to the night watchman to deal with it! Six self-immolation cases, do you think that Yuan Shuo is blind and I can't see the possible problems? Your Yincheng Inspection Department doesn't I hope that the night patrol can intervene, but my student is dead, and if I get to the top, I have to take down your Yincheng Inspection Division!"

　　 "Old Yuan calmed down and dealt with it immediately, Old Yuan rest assured!"

　　 Opposite the communications, the director of the Yincheng Inspection Department has a headache.

　　 This old guy, although he has no real power, he knows so many people. He has been a professor in the ancient academy for 40 to 50 years, and some of the students he brought out are now big men.

　　 It's really a big mess, and the Yincheng Inspection Department is also uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, people will go to the ancient courtyard too. It's really impossible. I will go there! I want to see, in the realm of Silver City, who is so bold and dare to kill my ancient courtyard students! Killing one is not enough, even My closed disciples of Yuan Shuo all move, have you eaten Xiongxinbaozi gall?"

　　 Yuan Shuo is like an angry tiger.

　　 Since Li Hao wants to make a big noise, it seems to be to elicit something... Then make a big noise!

　　 Yuan Shuo is not too big!

　　 It's really a big trouble... It's really troublesome, it's also someone else's trouble.

　　 As for myself, all parties need themselves now, and they won't do anything to themselves. As for Li Hao, that's simple. Give this guy an assistant status. Those people who dare not move themselves will naturally not move Li Hao.

　　 Hung up the communication, Yuan Shuo lost his anger, just looked outside the room and sighed softly.

　　 Boy, ordinary people, don't get involved.

　　 Zhang Yuan’s affairs, even if there are any problems, you have done enough now and can no longer participate in it.

"such a pity!"

　　 An inaudible word of regret came out slowly.

　　 It's a pity, I can't really introduce mystery, otherwise... how could it be so troublesome.

　　 If I can introduce mystical abilities, with my five-bird new book accomplishments, I might be able to raise them three times a day. At that time, all ghosts and ghosts were all vain!

"Humph!"

　　 A low hum came out again. On the side of the night watchman, they may not want to enter the mysterious realm. Otherwise, why should I cooperate with them?

　　 Over the years, I have been talking about trying to find a way, but there is no way at all. Are you really stupid?

　　 "Li Hao..."

　　 "Li's sword?"

　　 Muttered, Yuan Shuo closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it. That guy should go back to the ancient courtyard and be an assistant for me. He really needs to train a successor when he gets older.

　　PS: I wrote almost 7,000 words, more than 10,000 words a day, and if I write like this, my new book term will be over!
