Zhang's old house.

In the small courtyard.

Li Hao is still sweating all over and is terrified.

Li Hao has gained a lot from his one-year career in the Inspection Department. If it were during his time at Yincheng Ancient Courtyard, Li Hao might not be able to do what he does today, acting out a show without changing his face and hiding the truth.

"Look for me quickly, we have to leave immediately to prevent the other party from trying to kill you!"

"Black Panther!"

Li Hao turned his attention to Black Panther. He was very familiar with the Zhang family's old house, but the more familiar he became, the harder he often found what he needed to find.

Bringing the black panther this time actually means using the black panther.

Black Panther looked up at Li Hao.

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

Yes, Black Panther may be found.

Black Panther was very attracted to Li Hao's jade sword when he saw it.

Moreover, Li Hao wondered if the Black Panther might have been attracted by the jade sword when it wandered to his doorstep?

Of course, Li Hao had never taken out the jade sword before, so Black Panther had no chance to lick it.

It wasn't until today that the Black Panther seized the opportunity.

In this case, can the Black Panther smell the stone knife?

The Zhang family has always lived here. Li Hao felt that if the stone knife was really still there, it would be in the house and would not be taken away. No one would go out with nothing to do but a stone.

besides?

Black Panther understands!

Now, I felt energetic instantly.

As for the smell, the black panther didn't smell it, and it could only smell something if it got very close.

I don’t know, maybe I missed it.

But now that he knew it, the black panther immediately became interested. His nose began to twitch, his forelimbs lay down, his nose was on the ground, and he started to smell it bit by bit.

If Li Hao finds another one, maybe this dog can get some benefits too.

Black Panther was searching hard, and Li Hao was not idle either, and began to search in the courtyard.

Corner, floor...

Hongying's party must have looked for these places, but Li Hao judged that these people didn't know what a stone knife looked like, and maybe they didn't even know that the Zhang family's knife was a stone.

Just like Li Hao, if he told others that the cross he wore on his chest was the sword of the Li family in the slang, probably no one would believe it.

Cognitive barriers!

The swords of the Li family and the swords of the Zhang family. Just listening to the slang, I am afraid that these swords are treasures that can be sharpened like clay. Not to mention the shining light, they must be fierce and domineering.

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

…

Ten minutes, twenty minutes...

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

Is it gone?

Did Hong Ying find it, or did the Zhang family really lose it? Not only did he not find it, Black Panther sniffed around but couldn't find it either.

If the black panther is close, you should be able to smell something, right?

"No!"

Li Hao can't stay here forever. Just because he scared the other party away doesn't mean that the other party won't come back. Besides, he can't keep searching here. Sooner or later, someone will find out that he has ulterior motives.

He stood in the center of the courtyard, looked at the main room and the second bedroom, and thought, if he were Zhang's father, where would he put this stone?

Only by assuming the role of Zhang's father can we judge.

"At first, Uncle Zhang didn't care at all and just threw it away so casually. Later, when I came back, I didn't care whether there was that stone knife on the ground. But then I came to Zhang's house many times and didn't seem to see it. If it was still there, after so many years,

, I should have seen it."

"Uncle Zhang most likely wouldn't have kept it, otherwise he wouldn't have had that attitude at the time and it would have been too casual to throw it away."

He quickly recalled everything that happened back then, although his memory was a little blurry.

But now that I think about it, I can still vaguely remember it.

"Xiaoyuan was beaten up. It seemed that he didn't go out to play with me for two or three days. After that, I came back... Maybe several days had passed. Was the stone knife taken away by Uncle Zhang during that period?

Already?"

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

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

Li Hao slapped his head.

He was so young at that time that he really can't remember it.

What happened in the intervening days, or did Uncle Zhang just throw the stone away because he thought it was in the way?

If it's really lost...then there's no way to find it.

A piece of stone has been swept away for more than ten years and no one knows where it has been.

"The black panther can't even smell it... 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 suddenly moved.

If the sense of smell is disturbed, there are two places where it is most likely.

First, the kitchen.

Second, the pit!

This kind of old house used to have a latrine when I was a kid, not a toilet.

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

"By the way...it seems that the pit and kitchen of Xiaoyuan's house were repaired when I was a child. A stone...won't be filled in, right?"

When Li Hao thought about this, he had some guesses and some uncertainties.

This is the greatest possibility!

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

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

Can not remember!

But at this moment, Li Hao judged that if the stone knife was still in the Zhang family, it was most likely in these two places.

Without hesitation, he immediately walked towards the kitchen.

As for the latrine... unless he couldn't find it in the kitchen, he wouldn't go there, and if the stone knife was really in the latrine... Li Hao wouldn't want to soak that thing in water in the future, it would be more like giving it to the black panther.

Anyway, he has the Starry Sky Sword!

“Hope is in the kitchen!”

"Black Panther, follow me!"

Li Hao shouted quickly, and Black Panther hurriedly followed in.

The kitchen had not been used for many years. When I opened the door and walked in, I saw that there was still a large pot on the stove. The iron pot on it had long been rusty and the lid of the pot was somewhat rotten.

"Smell and see!"

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 due to long use, there is still a faint smell of fireworks. This smell may have disturbed the Black Panther, and it is also mixed with some lingering oil smoke smell.

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

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

At this time, I heard from Li Hao that the black panther moved quickly and jumped on the stove, smelling it bit by bit.

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

And Li Hao was not idle either. In the kitchen, there was no need to look too much at the places that had been repaired later. The main thing was to look at the places that had been repaired more than ten years ago. Stone knives were probably used in those places.

The forces behind Hongying may not be willing to look at such a place.

This is where the Zhang family would hide the Zhang family's knife?

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