The sky has darkened.
Zhang Yuan's home is not in Qiming Community, but on an old street outside the community.
When Li Hao was a child, he enjoyed playing in the old streets.
However, with the development of Yincheng, a part of the old street has been demolished, and vendors have left. The old street has gradually become abandoned, and now it is sparsely populated, with few people coming to the old street again.
Even the residents have mostly moved out, making it even quieter than the Qiming community.
On the quiet street, there are some old houses and scattered lights on both sides, which appear somewhat eerie.
If time permits, Li Hao should wait slowly, drink some sword soaking water every day, gradually strengthen himself, and then think about other things.
However, time does not allow Li Hao to do so.
For Li Hao, every day of procrastination is even more dangerous.
Although he may be more powerful, soaking in Sword Water only gave him more energy, which is not enough to give Li Hao the power to deal with Red Shadow now.
Coming to Zhang Yuan's house, Li Hao had only one purpose: he wanted to see if the stone knife was still there.
If the stone knife is still there, it may be good news for Li Hao.
If it cannot be found, it may have been taken away by Red Shadow and the forces behind it, which also means that Li Hao's sword may have been exposed, and even some people were planning to use it.
The black panther followed Li Hao silently, and in the darkness, the black little dog appeared extremely inconspicuous.
The gentle footsteps echoed slowly on the street.
Li Hao's face remained as usual. In front of him was an old house with a seal on the door, which marked Zhang Yuan's home.
At this moment, he can already see.
I didn't see anyone, and the panther didn't warn.
However, Li Hao will not place all his hopes on the Black Panther either.
When he was less than a hundred meters away from the gate of Zhang Yuan's house, Li Hao took out his communicator and dialed a number.
In the darkness, the communicator emitted a faint light, illuminating Li Hao's face.
Doodle
After a moment, a spirited voice echoed from across the street: "In the evening, have you figured it out? You can't stay at the inspection department anymore, want to come back
A loud voice!
By amplifying through the communicator, we can roam the dark streets.
Li Hao, who had originally been somewhat fearful, suddenly felt a lot more at ease at the moment, and his voice spoke in a respectful and gentle tone; Teacher, I haven't had that idea yet
Then you fart the communication
On the other side of the communication, there came some angry voices.
Teacher, the case of Zhang Yuan's self immolation has been under investigation for the past year, and I have found a little difference. Zhang Yuan... maybe he didn't die unexpectedly
Hmm
In the darkness, Li Hao's face was calm, but there was a hint of ferocity in it. "I checked and found out that Zhang Yuan was not the only one who burned himself in Yincheng these years, but several people. Although it doesn't seem to have any connection, there is a hint of some connection. I haven't found the specific clues yet
Over there, suddenly it quieted down.
At this moment, Li Hao had already walked to the door of Zhang Yuan's old house, looked at the somewhat broken seal, and whispered, "I am now in Zhang Yuan's hometown. I want to check if there are any other clues to prove that Zhang Yuan was murdered, not an accident
Li Hao
On the communication side, the old man's heavy shout came: "I also know about Zhang Yuan's case. According to your statement, if it's murder, don't rush there, be careful of accidents
After finishing speaking, he shouted loudly, "Wait a moment over there. I'll say hello to the inspection department and the ancient courtyard. If you need help, someone will come right away
At this moment, Yuan Shuo across from him seemed to understand something.
No need for Li Haoduo to say.
When Li Hao made this communication and told him that he had discovered that Zhang Yuan was not an accident, but could have died of murder, and that he was on the other side of Zhang Yuan's old house, Yuan Shuo instantly understood what Li Hao meant.
There may be danger!
Li Hao, at this moment, we need some force that is sufficient to deter potential hidden crises.
No need for Yuan Shuo to do or say anything.
Just let Yuan Shuo know that Li Hao is currently here and is investigating Zhang Yuan's case, which is enough.
A high-ranking figure from the Silver City Ancient Courtyard, as long as he is paying attention, that is enough.
No one dares to move easily.
Otherwise, the death of a Li Hao may lead to the anger of this ancient courtyard old man and lead to even more troublesome things.
There are rumors outside that Li Hao and Yuan Shuo had a falling out before.
As it turns out, there is none.
On this night, Yuan Shuo's voice echoed far across the deserted streets. If anyone had been paying attention, they would have heard Yuan Shuo's words.
People may come from the ancient courtyard and the inspection department.
Just as Li Hao was on the phone, the silent Black Panther suddenly bit Li Hao's pants leg.
Li Hao did not find any abnormalities.
However, after all, the Black Panther is more sensitive than him, perhaps sensing something, or Yuan Shuo's words, which exposed some people's movements and attracted the attention of the Black Panther.
Someone is really staring at this side.
Li Hao's heart trembled. This was not a bad thing, but a good thing. Someone was staring at the stone knife representing the Zhang Yuan family, which may not have been taken away.
In the communication, Yuan Shuo continued to say something.
Li Hao quickly laughed and said, "Teacher, it's not that serious. I'm calling you just to briefly talk about this matter. The key is not this, but that I have taken on the protection task of going out to investigate the ancient courtyard. In a few days, I may protect the teacher and go out to investigate together
You
Yuan Shuo over there seemed a bit surprised and quickly laughed heartily, saying, "Okay, then I'll wait for you! Coincidentally, this inspection task is a bit complicated. You've been with me for two years and learned a lot, but you haven't practiced it yet! Li Hao, how about treating it as your practice class this time? If you behave well, I can consider giving you the status of a non staff student. Although there are many rules in the ancient academy, as long as you make contributions during this inspection, I can still graduate you
You should know that even if you can obtain a graduation certificate, you still have to stay at the inspection department. A graduation certificate can promote you to two levels! Becoming a first level inspector is a certainty, and it has a lot of future than you do now
Li Hao smiled and said, "Teacher, let's talk later when we meet. I'll go into the house and see if there are any clues. After we investigate Zhang Yuan's case and catch the culprit, I won't need the teacher to say anything. I'll find a way to return to the ancient courtyard
That's okay
Yuan Shuo once again advised, "Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. There is no problem that cannot be solved. The inspection department and the ancient courtyard cannot solve it. Your teacher still has some face. It's really necessary to come to a critical moment. As long as you argue with me in the future, I will spare no effort. Some experts are also invited
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Li Hao's heart suddenly trembled and moved silently.
He knows what Teacher Yuan means.
When it's really necessary, what he calls an expert is probably a night watchman.
Previously, Li Hao never said much to the teacher.
He is worried about expanding the trouble and affecting the teacher.
However, with the wisdom of the teacher, when hearing Li Hao say that Zhang Yuan's self immolation may not have been an accident, it may also be the first thought that it may have been caused by supernatural factors.
That's when I spoke up about finding an expert.
However, even if Yuan Lao's identity is not low, the night watchman is not just asking for help. Li Hao's business is not a public matter, but a private matter, which may require a high price to pay.
Got it, thank you, teacher
Li Hao hung up the communication, casually tore up the seal, and opened the door of the dusty old house that had been sealed for a year.
When Li Hao brought the black leopard into the ancient house.
Outside the silent streets, there was a long silence.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes with some faint blue light appeared faintly.
In the darkness, a black figure seemed to be a part of the night, from top to bottom, all black, except for those dark blue eyes that were somewhat penetrating. On his face, he wore a mask like a fierce ghost, which concealed his appearance, not knowing whether he was a man or a woman.
Li Hao, a classmate of Zhang Yuan, a close friend, and a second level student of Yincheng Ancient Academy, dropped out of school and joined the inspection department last year after Zhang Yuan's death. He has been investigating Zhang Yuan's self immolation incident. Today, he reported to the inspection driver, room chief Wang Jie, and connected six cases of self immolation, intending to merge and handle the case
The information about Li Hao flashed in Black Shadow's mind in an instant.
Li Hao dropped out of school last year and joined the patrol inspection department. In fact, he has entered the eyeliner.
Moreover, it seems that there is more to it than that. Li Hao may still be a key figure, but this matter is not within the jurisdiction of the Shadow. I don't know for the time being, but someone has advised Li Hao not to move lightly, leaving it useful.
Black Shadow thought in her heart that she must not move lightly.
Was Li Hao on the phone with his teacher Yuan Shuo just now?
Yuan Shuo, a top veteran of the Yincheng Ancient Academy and the head of the Department of Ancient Civilization Exploration, has collaborated with the Night Patrol and is one of the few high-ranking figures in the entire Yincheng who can directly communicate with the Night Patrol.
Needless to say, Li Hao cannot move either
The dark shadow quietly approached the ancient house of the Zhang family, and he wanted to know why Li Hao went in?
Clues?
Zhang Yuan self immolated and died in an ancient courtyard. What clues can he have at home?
Or to find something?
As for what to look for, Black Shadow doesn't know, but his task is to keep an eye on everyone who enters or even approaches the old house of the Zhang family.
Wuwu
The low chirping sound came from the Black Panther's throat, biting into Li Hao's trouser legs and feeling a bit anxious.
It seems to be telling something.
Li Hao remained silent, but his heart was alert.
Is anyone approaching?
Isn't the conversation between oneself and the teacher enough to dispel some people's thoughts?
Without further ado, he gently touched the head of the Black Panther and comforted her for a while before Li Hao finally looked towards the abandoned Zhang family mansion.
This is a small courtyard.
Directly ahead is the main house.
On both sides, there is Zhang Yuan's second bedroom on one side, and the kitchen on the other. Li Hao is very familiar with this place and often came here when he was a child. Even when he grew up, before Li Hao's parents passed away, the home was not big enough to play, and Li Hao would often come over.
This time, Li Hao's main goal was the stone knife of the Zhang family.
He glanced at the ancient house and it seemed that no one had entered, but there must have been someone who had come. Not to mention anything else, the placement of some things seemed normal, but for Li Hao, it was clear that they had all been passive.
Apart from Zhang Yuan, Li Hao is probably the most familiar with Zhang Yuan's family.
In the courtyard, even the old tree has been passive and may have been uprooted before being replanted.
If Shidao were still in the Zhang family, he would definitely not be in the main room or the second bedroom, 100%
Li Hao didn't come infrequently, so he naturally knew the situation. If he had been in these two places, he would have seen them long ago and wouldn't have forgotten. He had been rummaging through boxes and cabinets at the Zhang family, and at that time, he regarded them as his own home and never saw anyone outside.
The last time I saw a stone knife was when Uncle Zhang hit Xiaoyuan. I remember Uncle Zhang casually threw it on the ground, but I don't know if he picked it up later
Li Hao recalled the past, and he vaguely remembered that at that time, Zhang Yuan seemed to have dug out a stone knife from some unknown corner.
Zhang Yuan's father may not even remember where he lost it before, but he was found by his child and took the opportunity to beat Zhang Yuan up. As for any ancestral objects, he probably didn't take them seriously.
It's just a broken stone!
What ancestral object?
Even if it were, it wouldn't be worth much. Why do you want that thing? If Zhang Yuan doesn't dig it out, his father may never remember that there is still a stone passed down in his family.
Following the unclear direction in his memory, Li Hao slowly paced towards a corner of the courtyard.
There, there are some stones stacked, which were originally used to repair the wall.
Li Hao quickly observed and did not remember the stone in his memory.
He remembered that the stone was somewhat similar to a knife.
Someone is staring at me in the dark, but it's not easy to make a big fuss about it
Just thinking about it, the black panther, who had been motionless, suddenly began to hiss in a low voice.
