Opportunities need to be created by oneself.
Li Hao needs opportunities and also needs to create them himself.
Quickly, Li Hao sorted out a file in front of him, stood up, and walked towards the small office in the office area.
Dong Dong Dong
Li Hao knocked on the office door.
Inside the door came the voice of the confidential room chief, 'Come in!'
Li Hao pushed open the office gate.
Roommaster
Li Hao
As a middle-aged man, Wang Jie couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Hao.
This is a good child who is polite and willing to work. After all, he has received higher education from Yincheng Ancient Academy. Although he dropped out early, he was not expelled, but dropped out on his own. He is still very concerned about it.
Li Hao also smiled and quickly spoke up, "Roommaster, I have something to report
Sit down
Wang Jie greeted, and the task of the confidential room was not too heavy. As for the matter, it was not a big deal, and the law enforcement team in front of him usually carried out the big things. Overall, the confidential room was still very stable.
Regarding Li Hao's report on work, Wang Jie speculates that this kid wants to become familiar with his face and promote himself?
But the time is too short. This guy has dropped out of school again and has only been promoted for six months. It's impossible to get promoted in the short term.
As he was thinking about it, Li Hao in front of him began to look serious and his voice seemed a bit dull: "Roommaster, I am in the confidential room and mainly responsible for organizing the files of some suspicious and unsolved cases. After entering the confidential room for a year, I have reorganized and reclassified some files from the past decade
Wang Jie instantly smiled and nodded, "I know, the top students are the top students! Previously, the files were still a bit messy, and some old files were almost eaten by insects. I also had people reorganize them, but they often couldn't find them when needed. As soon as you come, what case you're looking for recently can be found immediately. You have contributed to this
Li Hao quickly shook his head and said, "Roommate, I'm not here to show off my achievements
Isn't it?
Wang Jie chuckled, is it really difficult to report something?
He didn't say anything either, nodded and gestured for Li Hao to continue.
Li Hao took out the document in front of him and handed it to Wang Jie. He opened it himself. Although he was young, his voice remained calm and said, "On September 16, 1720, a self immolation case occurred in the Anju community of Yincheng. Someone witnessed the victim self immolate in public, and suddenly sparks erupted inside his body, burning the victim to death
At this moment, Wang Jie also looked at the files in his hand and continued to look at Li Hao.
The case from ten years ago has already been closed, not a victim, but an accident. What is this guy doing to bring up a case that was closed ten years ago?
Li Hao continued, "On September 22, 1723, at the Yincheng Trade Center, a salesperson suddenly caught fire with his hair, quickly burning all over his body, and was publicly burned to death
Wang Jie nodded and said, "I know this. I filed it and personally went to the scene. It was an accident, caused by the excessive static electricity in the commercial center at that time
Li Hao didn't argue, but continued to read, "On August 18, 1725, at the Yincheng Minsheng Hotel, a guest stayed in the hotel and was found dead in the hotel a day later, also self immolating
The interval between the first self immolation case and the second one is five years.
Over the past five years, there were three cases of self immolation, all of which were accidents. Yincheng had to deal with many cases every day. The three cases of self immolation caused by accidents over the past five years were not a big deal, and few people cared about them.
Unless it happens that all three cases were handled by one person, it may still attract some attention.
There are countless files in the confidential room, and Wang Jie doesn't usually pay attention. At this moment, after listening to a few words, he vaguely feels a little, frowning and looking at Li Hao.
Li Hao continued, "On February 16, 1727, on Dongfang Street in Yincheng, another person committed suicide by self immolation. The reason was the appearance of spherical lightning nearby, suspected to be caused by spherical lightning, which induced human self immolation. There was a case of self immolation after a year and a half
Wang Jie's face slightly changed. From three to two years, and from two to one and a half years, another self immolation case occurred in Yincheng!
On August 12, 1728, the Yincheng Suburb Inspection Department reported that a person was missing within the territory. Afterwards, a burned corpse was found by the river, suspected to have been caused by lightning strikes in a thunderstorm, and the case was unexpectedly closed
Another year and a half!
This is reported by a subordinate organization. The confidential department only organizes files and does not participate in case handling. Moreover, for cases caused by such accidents, the case has already been closed below, and the superior will not rashly overturn it.
Wang Jie's face became increasingly solemn, and he didn't really care. There were too many files in the confidential room, and he even destroyed many old files every year.
Another year and a half
Wang Jie did not look through the files in his hand, but looked at Li Hao and said in a deep voice, "Once for three years, once for two years, with a gap of one and a half years between the two. In August and September 1729, was there another case of self immolation
1729, also known as last year.
Wang Jie recalled, did it happen last year?
Is the time interval one year?
If there are, it means that within ten years, there have been six cases of self immolation in Yincheng!
Actually, it's not very common to share it evenly. Once every two years, Yincheng is very large, and it's not handled by a single branch, but rather scattered. A branch may have been together in the past ten years, who cares?
Li Hao nodded and said, "Another incident occurred in 1729, and it was in the Yincheng Ancient Courtyard. Moreover, the person involved was my classmate, the next bedroom! I left the Yincheng Ancient Courtyard, and there was also a part of the reason that was related to this matter. At that time, I witnessed everything and developed fear and fear towards the ancient courtyard. In addition, my classmate's self immolation was strange, so I want to know why on earth they would self immolate
Li Hao's face was solemn, "So I came to the inspection department, partly because outsiders cannot access these files. I can! I have reviewed and organized the self immolation cases in the past decade, and I have found... this may not be an accident
Wang Jie quickly flipped through the document in his hand, looked at it for a moment, looked at Li Hao, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me your thoughts
In ten years, a total of six cases have occurred. No, strictly speaking, it's nine years. We haven't received such cases so far this year
Li Hao said sternly, "Roommate, because of my classmate's situation, I attach great importance to it. It's already July. If the self immolation case is not a coincidence, then it's almost a year since the last self immolation case! This self immolation time has been shortening time and time again, and if it's not an accident, it's likely that similar cases will occur recently
Isn't it an accident
Wang Jie searched through the documents and archives over and over again. He was also an old inspector, but later he got a little older and was transferred to the confidential room.
If Li Hao doesn't organize and integrate several cases separately, I'm afraid no one will really care.
However, when the six cases of self immolation were integrated together, anyone could vaguely sense that something was amiss.
Wang Jie let out a gentle breath and said, "From the current situation alone, there is no way to determine that this was premeditated, but... too many coincidences may not necessarily be coincidences
Wang Jie is still very sensitive and quickly said, "I will communicate this matter with other departments, especially the law enforcement team. The confidential room is not directly involved in solving the case, but there have been consecutive self immolations, which may need to be taken seriously. If it happens again recently
Speaking of this, Wang Jie's face slightly changed and said, "That means that your judgment is correct. It may not be as simple as an accident
He looked at Li Hao and his serious expression suddenly relaxed, revealing a smile: "Of course, there's no need to be too nervous! Even if it's a real murder case, there are worse ones than this, but it's Li Hao who... did a good job
Wang Jie's seriousness only lasted for a short time.
Don't say it's still uncertain, even if it's really murder, it's not a big deal. He's seen too much, heard too much, and died six people in ten years, but it's really nothing.
.
Classmate?
Good friend!
Otherwise, there is no need for Li Hao to drop out of school.
Opposite, Li Hao didn't say much either.
Murder case?
If it were a real murder, why should he drop out of school or escape from the Yincheng Ancient Academy.
Witnessing everything with one's own eyes, it was a simple murder that would have been better.
What exactly is that red blood shadow?
Self immolation?
No, it was burned to death by the blood shadow, but at that time, like myself, several other classmates who witnessed their classmates' self immolation, surprisingly no one saw the blood shadow!
Did they lie?
No, it's not necessary.
Li Hao knew that only he could see it, and the others did not even notice the blood shadow, or rather, they could not see it.
Moreover, he has recently felt it again, and even faintly saw the blood shadow last night.
Perhaps... not together!
It's okay if no one pays attention. Once the inspection department notices it, it's definitely not an accident. If the inspection department is unable to handle it, it will definitely report to the night watchman
If no one cares, these cases will only be closed as accidents, and the files will only be thrown into the confidential room for ashes.
If noticed, the inspection department is still quite responsible.
Night Patrol
Li Hao thought to himself again, and across from him, Wang Jie stood up and said, "Let me discuss with the law enforcement team. You may need Li Hao to coordinate and provide some help in the future, after all, this case was compiled by you
Li Hao nodded hastily, with a slight sigh of relief in his heart.
Great, I heard what I wanted to hear.
He did all this to participate, not directly, but as an unexpected discoverer. Therefore, if the night watcher intervened, Li Hao would likely come into contact with the night watcher in the future.
Of course, contact does not mean you can join, even if you can... Li Hao may not dare to join!
Over the past year, he has read too many files.
Some things are reflected between the lines, such as seeing the red shadow, as if not one can see it. Li Hao has consulted some data files and Yincheng has such records.
However, those people, either dead or missing, were not spared!
Li Hao did not say anything about it, as there was a great danger involved. He dared not even tell anyone that even if he could see the red shadow, even the night watchman might not be reliable.
Anyway... it's important to come into contact with this mysterious power through some normal channels
Li Hao took a deep breath and withdrew from the office.
Not only to investigate the truth, but also to take responsibility for one's own life.
Those who can see the red shadow are all dead. As for whether anyone else can see it, Li Hao doesn't know, but he knows that everything exposed is dead, which is very unusual.
My little life cannot be easily lost. Leaving the Yincheng Ancient Courtyard and coming to the Inspection Department is not to escape
Walking out of the office door, Li Hao let out a gentle breath and smiled brightly.
The best outcome is for the night watchers to solve this problem. If they can have some unexpected gains, it would be great. As a civilian, if they can join the night watchers, then Li Hao also hopes to join the civilian organization among the night watchers.
As for the law enforcement agencies, Li Hao doesn't think he can handle it, and it's also very dangerous. A few days ago, when he went to the teacher's place for dinner, Li Hao made some insightful remarks. The night patrol personnel... the casualties were not small!
Take a step and see
Li Hao watched Wang Jie hurriedly leave with a smile on his face, and the first step was finally to step out.
Red Shadow
In my heart, what is that thing?
And what can I see because of?
