Stargate: Lords of Time

Chapter 2 Red Shadow

Opportunities need to be created by themselves.

The opportunities that Li Hao needed also needed to be created by himself.

Soon, Li Hao sorted out a file in front of him, got up, and Li Hao walked towards the small office in the office area.

"Boom boom boom!"

Li Hao knocked on the office door.

The voice of the head of the confidential room came from inside the door: "Come in!"

...

Li Hao pushed open the office door.

"Office Chief!"

"Li Hao!"

The middle-aged Wang Jie couldn't help smiling when he saw Li Hao.

This is a good boy who is polite and willing to work. After all, he has received higher education from Yincheng Ancient Academy. Although he dropped out of school early, he was not expelled, but dropped out by himself. He is still very concerned.

Li Hao also smiled, and quickly said, "Director, I have something to report."

"sit down!"

Wang Jie said hello, the task of the confidential room is not too heavy, as for the matter, it is not a big deal, the big things are generally carried out by the law enforcement team in front, generally speaking, the confidential room is still very stable.

Regarding Li Hao's report to work, Wang Jie wondered if this kid wanted to get acquainted with him and let him promote him?

But the time is too short, this guy dropped out of school again, and he has only been a regular for half a year, and it is impossible to be promoted in a short time.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Hao's face in front of him became serious, and his voice seemed a bit dull: "Director, I am in the confidential room, and I am mainly responsible for sorting out the files of some suspicious and unsolved cases. After entering the confidential room for a year, I will organize the files of the last ten Some of the archives in 2019 have been reorganized and reclassified..."

Wang Jie smiled instantly, nodded and said: "I know, a top student is a top student! The files used to be a bit messy, and some old files were almost eaten by moths. I also had people reorganize them, but I still can't find them when I need them. , as soon as you come, you can find any case you want to find recently, and you have credit for that..."

Li Hao shook his head quickly: "Director, I'm not here to show off."

isn't it?

Wang Jie laughed, so is it possible that he really has something to report?

He didn't say anything, but nodded, motioning for Li Hao to continue.

Li Hao took out the document in front of him, handed a copy to Wang Jie, and opened one by himself. Although he was young, his voice was calm: "In 1720, on September 16, a self-immolation case occurred in Yincheng Anju Community. The victim set himself on fire in public, and suddenly sparks shot out from inside his body, burning him alive."

Wang Jie also looked at the file in his hand at this moment, and then looked at Li Hao.

The case ten years ago was closed, and it was not a murder, but an accident. Why is this kid bringing up the case that was closed ten years ago?

Li Hao continued: "In 1723, on September 22, in the Yincheng Commercial Center, a salesman's hair caught fire, and his whole body burned quickly, and he was burned to death in public."

Wang Jie nodded, "I know this. I filed it at the beginning, and I went to the scene myself. It was an accident. It was caused by the excessive static electricity in the business center at that time."

Li Hao didn't argue, and continued to read: "In 1725, on August 18th, at the Yincheng Minsheng Hotel, a guest stayed in the hotel, and was found dead in the hotel a day later. He also died by self-immolation."

Five years have passed since the first self-immolation case, and two years since the second.

In the past five years, there have been three self-immolation cases, but they were all accidents. Yincheng has to deal with many cases every day. Three self-immolation cases caused by accidents in five years are really not a big deal, and few people care about it.

Unless by coincidence, all three cases were handled by the same person, which may still attract some attention.

There are countless files in the confidential room, and Wang Jie usually doesn't care about it. He listened to a few words now, feeling vaguely, and looked at Li Hao with a frown.

Li Hao continued: "In 1727, on February 16th, another person set himself on fire on Dongfang Street in Yincheng. A year and a half!"

Wang Jie's complexion changed slightly. From three years to two years, two years to one and a half years, there was another self-immolation case in Yincheng!

"In 1728, on August 12, the Yincheng Suburban Inspection Department reported that a person was missing in the territory. Afterwards, a burned body was found by the river. It was suspected that it was caused by a thunderstorm and a lightning strike. The case was closed by accident."

Another year and a half!

This was reported by the subordinate organization. The Confidentiality Office only organizes the files and does not participate in the handling of the case. What's more, the case caused by this accident has already been closed below, and the above will not rush to overturn it.

Wang Jie's face became more and more serious, he really didn't care, there were too many documents and files in the confidential room, and many old files were even destroyed 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: "One time for three years, one time for two years, and the interval between the two times is one and a half years. In August and September of 1729, did another self-immolation case happen? "

1729, that is, last year.

Wang Jie thought about it, did it happen last year?

Is it a year interval?

If so, it means that within ten years, six cases of self-immolation occurred in Yincheng!

It’s actually not much to spread out, once every two years, Yincheng is very big, and it’s not handled by one branch, but scattered, and a branch may receive one in ten years, who cares?

Li Hao nodded: "It happened again in 1729, and it was in Yincheng Ancient Courtyard, and... the person involved was my classmate, in the dormitory next door! Part of the reason why I left Yincheng Ancient Courtyard was also related to this incident. At that time, I witnessed After everything, I have a fear of the ancient courtyard, plus my classmate's self-immolation is weird, so I want to know why he set himself on fire!"

Li Hao's face was solemn: "That's part of the reason why I came to the inspection department. Outsiders can't check these files, but I can! I read and sorted out the self-immolation cases in the past ten years, and I found... Maybe this is nothing Accident!"

Wang Jie quickly flipped through the documents in his hand, looked at them for a while, looked at Li Hao, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think."

"In ten years, there have been six cases in total. No, strictly speaking, it has been nine years. I haven't received such a case until now."

Li Hao said seriously: "Director, because of my classmate's matter, I attach great importance to it. Seeing that it is already July, if the self-immolation case is not a coincidence, then it has been almost a year since the last self-immolation case! This The self-immolation time is shortening time after time, if it is not an accident, it is very likely that similar cases will appear in the near future.”

"Isn't it an accident?"

Wang Jie looked through the documents and files again and again. He was also an old patrol inspector. Later, when he was a little older, he was transferred to the confidential room.

If Li Hao doesn't tidy up and integrate several cases into one, I'm afraid no one will really care.

However, when the six self-immolation cases were combined, anyone could vaguely sense something was wrong.

Wang Jie let out a sigh of relief: "Judging from the current situation alone, there is no way to be sure that this was premeditated, but... too many coincidences may not be coincidences!"

Wang Jie was still very perceptive, and said quickly at this moment: "I will communicate this matter to other departments, especially the law enforcement team. The confidentiality room is not directly involved in solving the case, but self-immolations have occurred one after another. I am afraid that this needs to be taken seriously. If the recent Happen again..."

Speaking of this, Wang Jie's complexion changed slightly: "It means that your judgment is correct, and it may not be as simple as an accident!"

He looked at Li Hao, his serious face suddenly relaxed, and he smiled: "Of course, there is no need to be too nervous! Even if it is a real murder, there are worse cases than this, but Li Hao, you... did a good job !"

Wang Jie's seriousness only lasted for a while.

Not to mention that he is still not sure, even if it is really confirmed that it was a murder, it is actually not a big deal. He has seen too much and heard too much. Six people died in ten years, but it is really not a big deal.

He was even more gratified that Li Hao was persistent and responsible for the case. Of course, he also generally understood some of the reasons why Li Hao dropped out of school.

classmate?

Good friends!

Otherwise, there is no need for Li Hao to drop out of school.

...

On the other side, Li Hao didn't say much.

Homicide case?

If it was really a murder, why would he drop out of school, why would he escape from Yincheng ancient courtyard.

Seeing all that with my own eyes, it would be better if it was a simple murder.

What is that red blood shadow?

Self-immolation?

No, it was burnt to death by the blood shadow, but none of the other students who saw their classmate self-immolation with their own eyes at that time saw the blood shadow!

Are they lying?

No, it's not necessary.

Li Hao knew that he was the only one who saw it, and the others didn't notice the blood shadow at all, or they couldn't see it.

Moreover, he felt it again recently, and even vaguely saw that blood shadow last night.

Maybe...not one!

"It's fine if no one pays attention. Once the inspection department notices it, it's definitely not an accident. If the inspection department can't deal with it, it will definitely be reported to the night watchman."

If no one cares, then these cases will only be closed as accidents, and the files will only be left in the confidential room to eat ashes.

But if it is noticed, the inspection department is still quite responsible.

"Night watchman!"

Li Hao muttered again in his heart. On the other side, Wang Jie stood up and said, "Then I will go to the law enforcement team to discuss it. I may need Li Hao to connect with you and provide some help. After all, this case was collected by you..."

Li Hao nodded hastily, heaving a sigh of relief.

Great, I heard what I wanted to hear.

He did all this to participate in it, not directly, but as an accidental discoverer. In this way, if the night watchman intervenes, then Li Hao is likely to come into contact with the night watchman next.

Of course, contact does not mean that you can join, even if you can join... Li Hao may not dare to join!

In the past year, he has read too many files.

Some things can be seen between the lines. For example, seeing Hongying, it seems that he was not the only one who could see it. Li Hao checked some files, and Yincheng had such a record.

However, those people either died or disappeared, and none of them survived!

Li Hao didn't say anything about it, there was a great danger in it, he didn't even dare to tell anyone that he could see the red shadow, even the night watchmen might not be reliable.

"No matter what...you must go through some normal channels to get in touch with this mysterious power!"

Li Hao took a deep breath and exited the office.

Not just to find out the truth, but more importantly, to be responsible for one's own life.

Those who could see the red shadow were all dead. As for whether other people could see it, Li Hao didn't know, but he knew that everyone who was exposed died, which is very unusual.

"My little life can't be lost easily. I left Yincheng Ancient Courtyard and came to the Inspection Department, not to escape."

Walking out of the office door, Li Hao exhaled lightly and showed a bright smile.

The best result is that the night watchman can solve this problem. It would be the best if he can get some unexpected gains. As a civil servant, if he can join the night watchman, then Li Hao also hopes to join the civilian organization among the night watchman.

As for the law enforcement agency, Li Hao didn't think he was competent, and it was also very dangerous. When he went to the teacher's place for dinner a few days ago, Li Hao made some indirect remarks. The night watchmen...caused a lot!

"Let's take one step at a time!"

Li Hao watched Wang Jie leave in a hurry and smiled, finally taking the first step.

"Red Shadow..."

I thought to myself, what exactly is that thing?

And I can see it, and why?
