Stargate: Lords of Time

Chapter 4 The fog is gradually dissipating (recommended for collection)

Li Hao remembered!

As for the sword, the Li family really has one...or one?

The reason why he was a little uncertain was because the sword Li Hao remembered...it didn't look like a sword.

But Li Hao knew that this was the sword.

Very contradictory.

However, it is true.

When Li Hao was a child, Li Hao's father put a sword-shaped jade pendant on Li Hao's neck, and told him very seriously, "This is called the Starry Sky Sword, and it is the only old thing handed down from my Li family. In the future, you will give it to your child. Say it is jade, this is the sword."

When he spoke, his father was very serious.

Of course, after being serious for a moment, seeing that Li Hao was confused and his father was also very helpless, he said, "This is what your grandfather told me. The words handed down by the ancestors are all explained in this way. If you insist on saying it is a sword, anyway, you will Just call it that."

That's why Li Hao immediately thought that the Li family really had a sword called Starry Sky Sword.

In fact, it is a small sword-shaped jade pendant on Li Hao's neck right now.

At this moment, Li Hao was slightly confused.

If the Li family's sword mentioned in the slang refers to this jade pendant, then the Li family does have a sword.

Does the Zhang family have a knife?

Li Hao didn't know much about others. Zhang Yuan's parents passed away early. Li Hao had known him for many years, and he was very familiar with Zhang Yuan.

"The Zhang family's knife..."

Li Hao thought about it carefully for a while, did the Zhang family have a knife?

Recalling the past, soon, Li Hao's eyes moved slightly, the Zhang family may really have a knife.

Unlike his own jade pendant, jade is a valuable thing anyway, and it is still an old jade, so the Li family still pays some attention to it.

As for Zhang's knife, Li Hao suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he went to Zhang Yuan's house to play. Zhang Yuan once secretly took out something to play with Li Hao, and Zhang Yuan's father soon found out and beat Zhang Yuan violently.

That thing... looks like a knife-shaped rock.

At this moment, Li Hao's memory is a little distant and fuzzy, but he still vaguely remembers that Zhang Yuan's father scolded him for a while, saying that the thing was left by his ancestors. Do not litter the ones that come down.

Of course, in fact, Li Hao clearly saw that Zhang Yuan's father threw the stone aside casually. Li Hao suspected that Zhang's father just wanted to beat his son that day, and he just made up an excuse.

"Could it be that it is the Zhang family's knife mentioned in the slang song?"

If that's the case, then it's a match.

Afterwards, Li Hao never saw that stone again. In fact, as they got older, Li Hao and Zhang Yuan would not just go and play with a stone. There were many on the side of the road.

At this moment, Li Hao was generally sure that what was said in this song was probably true.

Subconsciously touched his chest, the jade pendant was cool, and there was no change.

This trace of coolness also awakened Li Hao instantly. Soon, he looked at Chen Na, a little eager and impulsive, and quickly said, "Sister Na, can I see your grandma?"

He wants to know, where did this song come from, who passed it on, how many years has it been spread, is this song complete or not?

Why is this self-immolation case related to a country slang song?

What is the red shadow? Why did you kill people from the eight families in this song?

Moreover, if you want to kill, do you kill one person, or kill everyone who is related to the eight families, if so...

"Um?"

Before Chen Na could speak, Li Hao was startled suddenly.

He quickly opened the files. Although he had read these documents countless times, he quickly checked them now and murmured: "Hong Jiao's parents have passed away, and she was young when she died, so after Hong Jiao's death, There is no one else in the Hong family."

"On Zhou Qing's side, his lover is still alive, but Zhou Qing has no children, and the couple has not conceived any offspring for many years."

"Zhang Yuan needless to say..."

The Zhang family has only one seedling, Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan's parents passed away early, so Zhang Yuan is also the only descendant of the Zhang family.

"Wang Haoming was not married when he died, but Wang Haoming was not an only son, he also had a younger brother..."

"Liu Yunsheng is an old man who has been single all his life."

"Zhao Shihao has a daughter. After Zhao Shihao died, she left Yincheng with his wife. Her whereabouts are unknown."

Li Hao checked quickly. Some of these people were married, some had children, and not all were lonely, so Li Hao didn't find any problems with it before.

But at this moment, Li Hao suddenly thought of himself.

"My parents passed away unexpectedly three years ago... an absolute accident, the car overturned due to a loss of control, but... is it still an accident now?"

Li Hao's parents passed away three years ago.

It was caused by an accident!

It has nothing to do with the self-immolation case, so Li Hao never substituted his parents into this case before, because this is a self-immolation case.

At this moment, Li Hao was full of thoughts.

The four families of Zhang, Hong, Zhou, and Liu have been completely cut off, and there is no direct lineage.

Wang Haoming has a younger brother, Zhao Shihao has a daughter, and if he is the Li that the Li family's sword said, then the Li family... seems to be himself.

"This is not killing one person, but... annihilating a family!"

The heart became more frightened, and while frightened, it also became more angry!

Didn't my parents die accidentally?

Of course, all of this cannot be completely determined, after all, there are still people in the Wang and Zhao families.

...

"Li Hao!"

Chen Na's shout woke Li Hao up.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing that Li Hao finished asking, Chen Na answered by herself, but he ignored him, as if she was distracted.

"fine!"

Li Hao shook his head hastily, Chen Na glanced at him, and suddenly said: "You...do you think these people are related to several companies in the song? But they are all rural slang songs, some are adapted from some myths, and some are simply Just singing casually on weekdays, I think it might just be a coincidence, isn't there two missing?"

As she said that, she wanted to laugh, but before she could, she suddenly froze slightly and glanced at Li Hao.

Two families are missing, one surnamed Zheng and one surnamed Li!

Li Hao?

Is this related to Li Hao?

After all, she is still an inspection, and she still has basic logic and thinking, and she immediately thinks of Li Hao. Li Hao has been chasing these people, so it can't be related to him, right?

"Li Hao, your surname is Li, right?"

"..."

Li Hao smiled wryly, can I say no?

Chen Na frowned immediately: "Tell me the truth, is there something wrong with the death of these six people?"

She looked at the documents, but didn't look at them carefully, but it seemed that they were all accidental deaths, and they were not concentrated in one year. Could this be related?

"Sister Na, let's not talk about this first, can I meet your grandma?"

Li Hao didn't want to talk too much about it.

Seeing this, Chen Na didn't ask any more questions, and put the matter down first, and said, "I just said, but you didn't hear, my grandma passed away a few years ago..."

"Feel sorry!"

"It's okay. My grandma was in her nineties when she left. It's a joy and a funeral."

Chen Na was fine, and quickly said: "However, many people at my grandma's side can sing this song... It was like this when I was a child, but I don't know now. At my hometown, I don't know how many old people are still alive. Did not go back."

Seeing that Li Hao was interested, Chen Na said again: "How about this? If you are really interested, let's take some time to go to my hometown and check it out. If you meet an old man who can sing, maybe you can ask some questions. What."

Li Hao thought for a while and nodded.

"We will rest the day after tomorrow, is it convenient for you, Sister Na?"

"Can!"

The two agreed, and Li Hao didn't bother about it anymore, and quickly said, "Sister Na, you have a wider relationship in the inspection department than I do, can you do me a favor?"

"Tell me."

At this moment, Li Hao, because he showed Chen Na the file, no longer hides it, and said in a low voice: "Can you help me find out the whereabouts of a few people? The first one, Wang Haoming's younger brother, he is not in the bank. In Yincheng, Wang Haoming is his only relative, and after Wang Haoming's death, he hasn't been back for a long time."

"Second, Zhao Shihao's daughter! After Zhao Shihao's death, his daughter and his wife moved out of Yincheng together, and there is no news."

The area that the Yincheng Inspection Department can manage is only Yincheng. It has no jurisdiction over other areas, let alone the qualifications for file inquiries.

The reason for looking for Chen Na is because Chen Na knows more people in the inspection department.

As for the inspection department, Li Hao is not familiar with the inspection department in the outer city, but there are always other people's colleagues, classmates, and friends who work in the inspection department in other places. If you really want to inquire, you can also get news .

Chen Na's eyes flickered slightly.

Check the family members of several parties?

What does Li Hao mean?

"Sister Na, can you find it?"

Chen Na thought for a while, then nodded: "In general, if there is an area, then it is easy to investigate. I am afraid that there will be no clues. You must know that after leaving Yincheng, the sky is big and the earth is big. We don't have cross-region law enforcement authority, and we can If you don’t have the authority to inquire about information, if you entrust someone, you must have a fixed target before you can entrust someone to inquire.”

"Understood. I have some information about them. I will write to you later. Although I don't know the exact location, I still know which city it is in."

Li Hao searched for a long time and had some knowledge about the family members of the deceased, but Li Hao couldn't get in touch because the other party was out of town.

"That's easy, leave it to me!"

Chen Na readily agreed.

Li Hao quickly thanked him.

The two talked for a while, and Chen Na suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Li Hao, there are some things... Anyway, you should pay attention to it yourself! I think... I think this matter may not be so simple."

She is not stupid, and generally guessed something.

At this moment, Chen Na is thinking, if Li Hao is really the Li in "The Sword of the Li Family" in the slang song, will he also be in danger?

The inspection department is not afraid of danger, but the danger that does not know where it comes from.

The cases of those people were all caused by accidents.

Li Hao nodded slightly and didn't say much.

And Li Hao himself has a lot of things to be busy at the moment, and he needs to verify.

He wants to investigate the case from 10 years ago. Is the Zheng family dead?

If the situation permits, he will go to Zhang Yuan's house. After Zhang Yuan's death, his house will be vacant. Li Hao wants to go and see if the Zhang family's knife is still there.

Not only the Zhang family's sword, but also the Hong family's hammer, the Zhou family's gun, these weapons in the song, do they exist, or do they exist?

Is it the people of the Ba family that Hong Ying is after, or the weapon of the Ba family?

Needless to say, fists and feet, when a person dies, nothing is left.

But weapons, if each family really has an inheritance, like the Li family, when it is passed down as a family heirloom, there may be some clues to be found.

Only by determining Hongying's purpose and understanding the other party better can we better deal with the crisis.

...

Li Hao didn't go directly to Zhang's house, nor did he go home. He still had things to do.

Inspection Department.

Archives.

Aunt Zhao, who was in charge of the archives, took out a stack of documents from the dusty warehouse, patted the dust, and raised a cloud of gray mist.

Handing the yellowed information to Li Hao, he said strangely: "Xiao Hao, what do you want these for? From 1715 to 1719, the name list of Zheng who died in Yincheng and canceled his account is here. There are hundreds of people in total. But people have been dead for many years..."

Li Hao's face was full of innocent smiles, "Sister Zhao, there are some suspicious cases in the confidential room that involve these, I can't tell you the specifics, you were troubled, and you found the clue later, I invite you to dinner."

"Forget about eating, Xiaohao, you are already 20 years old, and you are not too young. My daughter is 22 years old this year, and she is two years older than you..."

"..."

Li Hao was a little helpless, but still kept smiling: "Sister Zhao, let's talk later, I'm still young."

As he said that, he quickly left with the file in a slightly embarrassed manner.

The aunts of the inspection department are very enthusiastic, but they are not very good at this point. They like to introduce their daughters to him.

It's not a daughter, it's a niece, or it's a girl from so-and-so.

Who told him that Li Hao had been admitted to Yincheng Ancient Academy, even though he dropped out, it still didn't hinder his popularity.

After getting the list, Li Hao quickly looked through it.

The list of hundreds of people is not many, and the cause of death is generally introduced. This is the list of canceled accounts. Next, Li Hao has to exclude some of them, and combine some other information to find out whether there is the Zheng family member he is looking for.

The best result, of course, is to have a direct introduction, and die by self-immolation, that is the best and most convenient.

Li Hao finally discovered that Hongying kills people, or if there are any forces behind Hongying, they kill people, the direct descendants of the eight families or the only seedlings, and they all use self-immolation to kill people.

If not, Li Hao would not have been able to lock the first few people.

Among them, there may be some secrets hidden, which Li Hao can't find out yet.

"There was a self-immolation case in 1720, followed by a self-immolation case in 1723, so the previous time should be equal or longer and longer. The most likely death is before 1717."

Li Hao watched as he walked, he had to make sure whether the Zheng family member was dead or not.

If it is dead, it means that the previous guesses are all correct.

If he is not dead...then if the Zheng family is alive, it is not without gain. If the other party is alive, it may provide Li Hao with more clues. He even thinks it is better for the Zheng family to be alive, so it is very likely that it is directly related to Hongying. .

"In the slang song, it's about the young master of the Zheng family dragging his feet, which is different from the other families... Maybe the Zheng family is also a little different."

Just as he was thinking, Li Hao turned to a page.

"Zheng Yunqi, died on September 12, 1715, cause of death: gas explosion..."

Li Hao's eyes sharpened instantly, gas explosion?

In this case, when you die, you may die without a whole body, which is very similar to the way of self-immolation.

And this way of death is not too noticeable.

"is it him?"

Li Hao murmured, the gas exploded, and more than one person may die. In this case, the Zheng family can even take care of it!

Looking through the hundreds of lists, this one is most likely to be the Zheng family in the song.

"Maybe... you can go and have a look."

Li Hao thought, there is the other party's address on it. Of course, it's hard to say whether that place is still there after 15 years.

A slang song by Chen Na today gave Li Hao a lot of clues in an instant.

In my mind, I gradually figured out the key to the self-immolation case.

If this Zheng Yunqi is the Zheng family that Li Hao is looking for, then among the eight surnames, he may be the only one who is still alive.

"Revenge? Or something else?"

"Is the red shadow man-made, or is it a special ability, or is it just a cover-up?"

Li Hao touched the jade sword on his chest again. Is this ancestral jade sword just a simple family heirloom, or does it have some other function?

"The members of the seven families are all dead, so the next one must be me. How did the other party find me and the others? There is nothing special about us. Why can Hongying lock us?"

The crisis of death seems to be approaching gradually.

At this moment, Li Hao already felt that the storm was coming. He quickly checked the communicator in his hand. He wanted to find out which day was cloudy and rainy recently. According to the rules of time, the next rainy day may be when the red shadow appears. .

"July 18, overcast!"

Li Hao's face changed slightly. Today is the 12th, and the next few days will be fine weather. It will turn cloudy on the 18th, and there will be a period of cloudy and rainy days after that.

"That is to say, if it is the fastest, the red shadow may appear again in six days? Even if it is not six days, the other party may appear in the next rainy day."

At this moment, Li Hao's heart seemed to be clenched tightly!

Before, he wasn't sure if the other party was looking for him, and if he was the next target, but at this moment, he was very sure that Hong Ying's next target was himself.

"Xiaoyuan let me escape in the end, does it mean that he also guessed it, or learned from Hongying that I will be the next one to kill?"

"Then why didn't Hongying kill me directly last time, why did it take a year to kill me?"

"Maybe there is a limit for Hong Ying to kill people, or maybe the method of self-immolation can only be used once, but to kill me, you must use the method of self-immolation?"

Rubbing his temples, Li Hao suddenly smiled.

"Relax!"

The fear of the unknown is actually better than the imminent crisis.

Before, he knew too little about Hongying, the purpose, origin, goal... Li Hao knew nothing about these things, so he was actually very scared this year.

However, when he figured out some clues and clearly knew that the other party's target was him, Li Hao was not so afraid.

There is only anger, resentment!

eye for eye!

This time, if the other party really appeared, even at the risk of being exposed, he would go to the night watchman, go to them, and tell them that he could see the red shadow!

If he could kill Hong Ying, even if he ended up dying himself, it would be worth it!

"Xiaoyuan...and parents, if you also died at the hands of Hongying, this time, I will definitely avenge you!"

Li Hao clenched his fists, and on his gentle face, there was an incongruous look of ferocity!
