Stargate Chapter 9: Master and apprentice
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 like today, without changing his face, crossing the sea without changing his face.
"Hurry up and find, you have to leave immediately to prevent the opponent from killing the carbine!"
"Black Panther!"
Li Hao cast his gaze on the Panthers. He was very familiar with the old house of the Zhang family, but the more familiar he was, the more 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 Panthers wandered to his doorstep, 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 take a stone out of the house.
there is more?
Black Panther understand!
This time, the spirit came in an instant.
As for the smell, 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 looking for it carefully, and Li Hao was not idle, and began to look for it 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.
is 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, no one would 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 of iron-cutting 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 even more inconspicuous.
……
ten minutes, twenty minutes...
Li Hao was a little anxious and couldn't find it.
is there anymore?
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?
can be judged by substituting into the role of Father Zhang.
"At the beginning, Uncle Zhang didn’t care at all, so he just threw it away at will. Later, I came again and didn’t care if there was any stone knives on the ground, but then I came to Zhang’s house many times and didn’t seem to see it. , For so many years, I should have seen it."
"Uncle Zhang will not cherish it, otherwise it will not be that attitude at the time, and it will be too casual."
He quickly recalled everything back then, even though his memory was a little fuzzy.
But think about it now, I can still vaguely remember.
"Xiao Yuan was beaten up. It seemed that he hadn't gone out to play with me for two or three days. After that, I would come again... Maybe it has been several days. Was that stone knife during that period, he was hit by Zhang? Uncle took it?"
"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 punched his head.
was too young then, he really can't remember.
During those few days, what happened, or did Uncle Zhang feel that the stone got in the way and just lost it?
If it is really lost... then there is no way to find it.
A stone has been cleaned up for more than ten years.
"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.
"By the way... the pit and kitchen of Xiaoyuan's house, it seems that I have repaired it 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 Xiaoyuan, did he repair the kitchen or the pit?"
I don’t 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 hesitated, he immediately walked towards the kitchen.
As for the Maokeng... unless the kitchen can't be found, he will not 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 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 is a bit decayed.
"Smell and smell!"
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 use time, there is still a faint smell of fireworks. This kind of smell may interfere with the panthers, and there is also some fumes that can't dissipate.
Black Panther was in the kitchen, indeed, a little confused, mainly because there was still a strong musty smell in the kitchen.
The panthers had come in and smelled before, and found nothing.
At this time, I heard Li Hao said that the panther moved quickly and jumped onto the stove, smelling bit by bit.
Soon, the nose was stained with black wood ash.
And Li Hao was not idle either. In the kitchen, there is no need to look at the places that were repaired later. The main thing is to look at the places that were repaired more than ten years ago, and those places might use stone knives.
At 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 Red Shadow and the forces behind it were really valued. 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?
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.
waited a while, but Panther still got nothing.
Li Hao is a little disappointed, is it really in Maokeng?
That's too disgusting!
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. If there is no chimney, then the kitchen will cook. Can't stay when you are.
"Hmm... the chimney?"
Li Hao suddenly remembered something. Was this chimney built after Uncle Zhang beat Xiaoyuan?
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 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 it?
is really here!
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 Hongying simply probed, Hongying is invisible and innocent. Li Hao doesn’t know if the other party can go through the wall and escape, but the other party should have searched both the wall and the ground, but their target may be a crack or a mezzanine. , Boxes, treasure boxes and the like.
They would not have thought 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 of the lime exterior wall fell off again. The next moment, a dirt-gray stone appeared on the chimney, which was not completely exposed, but Li Hao's eyes were completely bright when he saw the incomplete shape. Up!
"This is it!"
Li Hao’s heart beats, and this is it. Although it is not fully exposed, Li Hao has a vague look in his memory, like a stone with a knife, not too big, but a little bigger than a fist.
"Uncle Zhang...really respects the ancestors!"
Li Hao was a little bit dumbfounded. He beat his son for this stone.
Good fellow, 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 Masters, Li Hao doesn't know what the others are like. 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 thinks 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?
too late to think about it, and without thinking 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 away, 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 was still a student of the ancient academy at that time, 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 have been taken away. Li Hao is 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, so he can reveal all of them all at once!
"What should I do?"
Li Hao thought quickly. Now that he saw it, he couldn't ignore it. 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 that one year later, he would still risk being here and keep watching.
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 corpses and destroy the evidence, so that the other party can't find it out. 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, so what 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 so many years, no one cares, and there is no rush.
Thinking of this, Li Hao let out a sigh of relief, just find it, and wait a while, 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: "Are you okay?"
"Teacher, it’s okay!"
Li Hao took some gratitude, without much greeting, and quickly said: "Teacher, Zhang Yuan’s house has nothing to find, 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 upside down. Yes, do you think the murderer is looking for something?"
Yuan Shuo obediently knew what he meant, and thoughtfully: "Then what is your idea?"
"I'm 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? However, I’m a little bit soft and I can’t speak to the inspection department. If you don’t bother the teacher, let the inspection department send someone. Let's go, be a little bit quieter, demolish some of the buildings in Zhang's house, start to stun the snake, and see if we can lead to the murderer of Zhang Yuan."
tear down the house?
Is this necessary?
Of course, Zhang Yuan’s house is not the scene of the crime, and this area 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 lead to the things behind?
At this time, Li Hao, 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.
It would be more in line with Li Hao's intentions to tell the other party about the situation in detail.
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 doesn’t matter.
Hongying's side, at that time, he would only guess 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.
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 public eye... Whether it is a night watchman or a red shadow, it seems that they are reluctant to appear in front of the public, and they 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 greater 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 people are 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 this is not a big deal, 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 homicide, the Ancient Academy will not let it go! You first evacuate there, up to an hour, Gu The hospital will send someone there, and the inspection department will also go there..."
"Thank you teacher!"
Li Hao hurriedly thanked him. Sometimes my teacher 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 much about this, he said a few more words, and chose to hang up the communication.
……
Yincheng Ancient Courtyard.
In the depths of 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!
"The Inspection Department...It's 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 less and less useful. He leaked the file so easily, and now he wants to pay attention. If so, many people in Yincheng 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 a glance!"
sighed softly, young man, really inexperienced, the inspection department is a big sieve, don’t you know?
As soon as this case file came out, anyone with a discerning eye could actually see some of the problems.
"The sword of the Li family, the sword of the Zhang family, the fist of the Zhao family, the leg of the Liu family..."
hummed a silver city slang for a while, Yuan Shuo quickly judged for a while, is this also related to his own student?
"Six dead, I don't know if it is related to this song."
As a native of Silver City, he knew this song, and he was a well-known scholar. When he saw the archives, he actually connected to this song, because these surnames together are a little special.
judged for 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’m 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 Kill, don’t your inspection department have any information?"
"……"
"I don’t care about those, Li Hao is my student. He just entered the ancient courtyard, he entered under my door, do you know why? He is a genius, a top explorer, the future of the ancient civilization exploration department, for yours Dereliction of duty, he 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, if you even level the street, you have to rescue Li Hao and catch 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 possible murderer in the dark. I have one request. Li Hao must be intact. Come back!"
"……"
"That’s it, if you can’t do it, I’ll go directly to the night watcher to deal with it! Six self-immolation cases, do you think that Yuan Shuo’s eyes are blind and I can’t see the possible problems? You Yincheng Tour The inspection department does not want the night patrol to intervene, but my student is dead, and if I get to the top, I have to take down your Yincheng inspection department!"
"Old Yuan, calm down and deal with it immediately, Old Yuan rest assured!"
Opposite , 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 forty to fifty years, and some of the students he brought out are now big men.
is really making a big noise, and the Silver City 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! Not enough, even my closed disciple of Yuan Shuo has to move ~ IndoMTL.com~ Have you eaten Xiongxinbaozigu?"
Yuan Shuo is like an angry tiger.
Since Li Hao wants to make a fuss, it seems to be to elicit something... Then make a fuss!
Yuan Shuo is not too big!
It's really a big trouble... It's really troublesome, and 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 also simple. Give this guy the identity of an assistant. Those people who dare not touch themselves will naturally not touch Li Hao. .
hung up the communication, Yuan Shuo lost his anger, just looked outside and sighed slightly.
boy, ordinary people, don't get involved.
Zhang Yuan’s matter, even if there is a real problem, you have done enough now and can no longer participate in it.
"What a pity!"
A low voice of regret came out slowly.
It's a pity, I can't really introduce mystery, otherwise... how can it be so troublesome.
If I can introduce mystical powers, with my five-bird new book, I might be able to raise them three times a day. At that time, all ghosts and ghosts were all vain!
"Huh!"
came out again with a low hum. 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?"
murmured, Yuan Shuo closed his eyes and stopped thinking about it. That guy should just go back to the ancient courtyard and be an assistant for me. As he gets older, he really needs to train a successor.
PS: I wrote almost 7,000 words, more than 10,000 words a day, and if I write it like this, my new book term will be over!
