Star Gate

Return to his seat from the director’s office.

Li Hao glanced at the calendar on the desk, July 12, 1730.

"It's almost a year!"

Muttered in a low voice.

On the other side, Chen Na said curiously: "What's almost a year old?"

Li Hao laughed and explained: "I said I have joined the Inspection Division for almost a year."

"Oh, you have a good memory."

Chen Na didn't pay attention anymore. Who remembers this is meaningless.

Li Hao didn't say much.

He remembers!

Remember very clearly!

On August 1, 1729, he joined the Inspection Division.

Just a few days ago, on July 23, the second day after the incident, Li Hao chose to drop out. Soon, Li Hao joined the Inspection Division.

On July 22, 1729, a self-immolation case occurred at the Silver City Ancient Institute.

Ancient Institute Level 2 student Zhang Yuan, self-immolation of his body outside the dormitory, was burned alive.

In order not to affect the reputation of the Silver City Ancient Institute, and after the inspection by the Inspection Division, it was indeed caused by an accident. News of this matter was blocked. Few people knew that a student of the Silver City Ancient Institute had died.

Of course, there is still a little bit of trouble. Zhang Yuan's parents are dead, and there are no relatives in the family, and there is no suffering, so things are quickly suppressed.

Afterwards, Li Hao dropped out of school. His tutor also guessed that it was related to Zhang Yuan. It is said that Li Hao and Zhang Yuan had a good relationship.

"Zhang Yuan!"

With a silent voice, it is almost a year since Little Yuan's death.

The scene of that day came to mind again.

Red’s blood shadow seems to hold Little Yuan’s soul, the blood-red flame burns Little Yuan’s soul, pain, struggle, collapse, all kinds of emotions, others did not see, but Li Hao seemed to See it clearly.

He wanted to step forward to stop him, but at that moment, Little Yuan's mouth kept opening and closing. In such extreme pain and unable to make any sound, his mouth kept moving.

Others may think it is wailing, only Li Hao knows, no.

"Escape!"

Yes, that is to let yourself escape.

Li Hao is too familiar with Zhang Yuan!

Keep yourself away, let yourself run away.

Zhang Yuan did not die in the dormitory. When he died, he even wore only a pair of underwear, which looked ridiculous, but Li Hao never felt ridiculous.

When Zhang Yuan died, he should have been ready to fall asleep, but he escaped from the dormitory in an extremely painful situation. The direction he was going to take was Li Hao's dormitory!

He couldn't make a sound, and almost broke a tile with the greatest perseverance. This caused a lot of noise in the dead of night, and many people went out to check, including Li Hao.

Is Zhang Yuan calling for help?

Outsiders think so, Li Hao thinks...not.

He was warning himself, Zhang Yuan escaped from the dormitory, made a noise, led out Li Hao, and finally said "escape" silently. This was not to ask Li Hao for help, but to let him He ran away.

"14 years."

Li Hao murmured again in his heart.

He and Zhang Yuan have known each other for 14 years. It's not that they are only two-year classmates in other people's imagination. They have known each other for 14 years, through childhood classmates, or buddies?

It's just that the two of them are taciturn people, and the friendship between men does not need to be always on the lips.

Like Zhang Yuan, at the moment before his death, with extremely powerful willpower, he struggled to escape, just to send a message to Li Hao and escape!

The Zhang Yuan self-immolation case was finally suppressed, silently.

Li Hao, a good friend, naturally few people will go to in-depth investigation.

"Little Yuan let me escape because of what he saw, heard, or simply fear? Or... Little Yuan knows that Blood Shadow’s next target is me?"

This is also a question that Li Hao has been thinking about for a year.

He couldn't imagine how much pain Zhang Yuan endured. At that moment, he still warned himself. Li Hao felt it was not simple. Maybe...Blood Shadow’s next goal is himself!

"Six people, plus me, maybe seven people, what do we people have in common?"

"Span of ten years, time is getting faster and faster, if Counting me, the seven people have nothing to do with Zhang Yuan and me. Are they random targets or clear targets?"

Li Hao gently rubbed his forehead and looked in front of him. This is all the files of six people, and it is also some clues he has collected through various channels in the past year.

It has been ten years since the death of Number One Person. There may or may not be there before, Li Hao has no way of knowing.

The time span is ten years, and many things are actually difficult to inquire.

"Gender? Age? Occupation? Identity? Common contact?"

Li Hao has looked through the document in front of him many times. The common point in the conventional sense, Li Hao has never found out, these are the few people who are completely irrelevant.

"Why did the blood shadow kill them? Did they threaten the blood shadow, or did they have other purposes?"

Countless doubts filled Li Hao's mind.

Of course, keep tracking down, and there is one more point... revenge!

Zhang Yuan is dead, no one cares, but Li Hao cares.

Night Watchman is full of uncertainties. If you can’t get effective clues, or there is no good way to deal with a blood shadow that everyone can’t see, Li Hao will never I hope Night Watchman kills the blood shadow, he even hopes to kill the guy himself!

"Li Hao, look at the information of those people again?"

On the other side, Chen Na saw Li Hao open the familiar document again, and couldn't help but ask.

In the past year, she has seen this document many times. Li Hao has been reading this document, and the document is getting thicker and thicker, and Li Hao almost sees the burrs.

But every time she wanted to take a look, Li Hao quickly closed it.

I have only vaguely seen some personal information of a few people.

Li Hao raised his head and showed a pure smile, "Sister Na, just take a look."

"Cut!"

Chen Na dismissed it. Just take a look, can you watch it for almost a year?

This kid is not honest sometimes.

"I’ve been watching for so long, Li Hao, what do you want to check? There are so many old inspections here, so you don’t need to ask, so you can check yourself. You are a novice, what can you find? Let me see, maybe I can give you some suggestions, don’t worry, I won’t leak them."

Chen Na laughed and said: "How about, show me?"

Really curious!

Li Hao used to not want to let people know that he was investigating this, and was also worried about attracting Hongying’s attention, but now, he has been unable to find anything, and the case has been reported to Wang Jie, now to Chen Na It's not impossible to look at it.

But after thinking about it for a while, Li Hao still opened the mouth and said: "Then look at it, but don't bother other people."

He doesn't want too many people. Know that I am concerned about this.

Chen Na is also a newcomer, not so sensitive and keen. Once other people see the materials of these people, they may quickly think of the previous cases and know that Li Hao is investigating the self-immolation case.

Looking at Chen Na, it was also Li Hao who watched for too long, but found nothing. I don't know if it is because he is too involved, the authorities are obsessed, or because there is really no connection.

Maybe Chen Na, an outsider, can see something?

Well, Li Hao actually didn't hold any hope, but for a long time of nothing, made him a little unwilling.

"Don't worry!"

Chen Na smiled suddenly, and finally got a chance to see Li Hao's little secret.

For fear of Li Hao's regrets, she hurried over, snatched the documents in Li Hao's hands, and quickly looked through it.

After a while, Chen Na heads to the Great Way: "Li Hao, what do you want to find from these files? I looked at it. There are too many, you have recorded all the trivial things. I can read it as a memoir, what result do you want to get?"

Li Hao thought about opening the mouth and said: "The common ground! The common ground of the six of them!"

Chen Na was speechless.

She took a closer look and found that there are six people with different ages, different occupations and identities, both men and women, and their circles are also different.

And the ones who died early, have been dead for 10 years!

The latest one, died for a year.

What do these six people have in common?

For the past year of co-authoring, Li Hao has been watching this, and it's really...free enough.

However, I glanced at the last person's profile. Zhang Yuan, a student of Silver City Ancient Institute, Chen Na vaguely knew something. Li Hao's main purpose is still because of this, right?

"Zhang Yuan, died on July 22, 1729... It seems that it hasn't been long since Li Hao dropped out, or is it about when he dropped out?"

Chen Na took a closer look For a while, thinking of Li Hao's dropout, it seemed that he knew something.

An Ancient Institute student, don’t quit school with a bright future. Some people don’t understand until now. Seeing this file today, Chen Na thinks that there may be a nodded thread.

Thinking of this, Chen Na, who looked at the archives with a playful heart before, is also a little more serious.

Is Li Hao suspecting that Zhang Yuan was murdered?

Six people, are they all murdered?

A series of cases?

……

Chen Na was looking at the file carefully. Li Hao waited for a while, but he didn’t get any feedback. He didn’t care too much. What's the next step.

Now that the case is handed over to the Inspection Division, the Inspection Division should investigate it, but Li Hao has no hope.

Unless Night Watchman gets involved soon!

"The point is, if the next target is me, maybe I will encounter blood shadow in the near future. The red shadow I vaguely saw a few days ago, is it blood shadow? Is it looking for me? Say, I have been found, just because of my identity, I didn’t dare to do it for the time being?"

Inspection Division, after all, is a law enforcement agency. The death of the student’s self-immolation may not cause too much movement, even if The same goes for Ancient Institute students.

But a third level inspector died. As its own person, the Inspection Division will definitely check and trace it carefully. This is more serious than a dead student.

"According to the information I understand, every time this blood shadow appears, there should be a time limit, not too long, and it will only appear at a certain point."

p>

"The deceased actually have one thing in common, but...somewhat ambiguous!"

In the past year, Li Hao has not achieved nothing.

At least he found out a few things, including Zhang Yuan's death. On the day when six people died, the weather didn't seem to be very good.

Thunderstorms, spherical lightning, cloudy and rainy days...

Not many people care about this kind of weather, and Li Hao is really unable to find more clues. Will pay attention.

On the day Zhang Yuan died, Li Hao clearly remembered that there was a light rain in the night, not too much.

"Only when it rains, or when the weather is bad, he will come out to commit crimes."

Li Hao kept writing on the paper, and soon tore the paper to pieces. After being completely smashed, he put down the pen and fell into contemplation.

He was thinking. On the opposite side, Chen Na suddenly cry out in surprise in a low voice: "I found it!"

Li Hao startled, hurriedly looked up and found it?

What did you find?

How is it possible!

He had no hope. Chen Na only saw it for a while and found out. Li Hao felt that this guy was fooling himself.

Li Hao frowned. Soon Su Zhang frowned and returned to his smile: "Sister Na, what did you find?"

Chen Na vaguely saw Li Hao frowning before, some Embarrassed, then I remembered that Li Hao was very concerned about this. It was not when he was joking, he said in a little embarrassment: "That...actually I haven't read it, there are too many materials."

Li Hao has nothing in mind. Bo, guessed it.

There is no disappointment, because there is no hope in the first place.

But next moment, Chen Na still opened the mouth and said: "I haven't read it, but... it really seems to be a bit related, but I'm not sure."

Then, she held up the paper beside her, "I have the habit of writing, drawing and painting. I just looked at the document and I wrote down the names of several parties."

Li Hao looked at it. At a glance, slightly nodded.

Six parties!

Li Hao can memorize the names of these people, so what can I find?

Not the same name, not the same surname, some two characters, some three characters, it is simply irrelevant.

When Chen Na saw Li Hao's attention, he quickly said: "Zhou Qing, Hong Jiao, Wang Haoming, Liu Yunsheng, Zhao Shihao, Zhang Yuan, are these six people's names?"

Li Hao slightly nodded.

Chen Na looked at the name on the paper again, and suddenly became a little uncertain. She was afraid that she had said it. Li Hao felt that she had fooled him, but it was not good.

Somewhat embarrassing, Chen Na lightly coughed said: "Forget it, when I didn't say it, I will take a closer look, it seems that something is not right, it is two short."

" What?"

Li Hao froze for a moment: "What's worse by two?"

Chen Na is even more embarrassed: "If there is another surnamed Zheng and another surnamed Li, That's right, now there is no...cough cough, I'll just say that, don't take it seriously."

She doesn't want to say any more, it's so embarrassing!

Li Hao was shocked.

Why do you need two more?

The last name is Li... his last name is Li!

There is still one surnamed Zheng, one missing... Li Hao can only find some cases ten years ago, because more than ten years, some unsuspecting cases will destroy files because of some accidents There are too many cases and too many cases, and the Confidential Bureau will not keep them all.

At this moment, Li Hao's heart is shaking, but his face doesn't change, smiled and said: "Sister Na, what is there to say, what is there, talk about it, just talk, why do you say Two more surnames are necessary?"

Chen Na looked at Li Hao, said curiously: "Are you not from Silver City?"

"Yes."

"That..."

Chen Na said, thinking of something, nodded said: "Understood, is your family...no old people?"

"My grandfather grandma passed away early."

Li Hao became more curious, why did he contact the old man again?

Chen Na saw that he was interested, so he was not embarrassed anymore, opened the mouth and said: "If there are old people in the family, some old people like to speak some local dialects. My grandma was in my When I was young, I really liked to say this."

Chen Na thought for a while and recalled for a while, then said: "I used to live with my grandma, and my grandma liked to sing some local songs in Silver City. I remember , There is a local song like this..."

Chen Na learned the way his grandmother was before, cleared his throat, and sang in a low voice: "Li Family’s sword, Zhang Family’s sword, Zhao Family’s Fist, Liu Family’s leg... Zheng Family’s Young Master is holding back!"

Sing for a short time, Chen Na is sorry and embarrassed said with a smile: "It’s not good to sing in Mandarin, in fact My grandma used to sing in the native dialect of Silver City. Of course, there are some local operas. If you haven't heard it, I feel a little bit dirty."

At this moment, Li Hao's eyes flickered wildly.

Tuqu!

Li Family's sword, Zhang Family's sword...

There are eight surnames in this song!

Li, Zhang, Zhao, Liu, Wang, Hong, Zhou and Zheng!

He snatched the paper in Chen Na's hand without being polite at all, and instantly fell to the first name, Zhou Qing.

This is the one who died ten years ago!

I was also a party to the first self-immolation case that Li Hao found.

Next is the salesperson Hong Jiao, then Wang Haoming...

If, if the first person to die is not Zhou Qing, but a surnamed Zheng, then Zhou Qing It’s the second one, Hong Jiao’s third, and Wang Hongming’s fourth...

In the Silver City Tuqu, the eight surnames are reversed, and the order is completely in line with the time of death.

The last dead Zhang Yuan, corresponding to Zhang Family's knife.

That means... there is one more!

There is another person who will die, to surnamed Fang Li, the first in the opera, Li Family's sword!

Li Hao's face changed.

He hurriedly looked towards Chen Na, with uncontrollable vibrations and excitement, and his voice was a little hoarse: "When did this tune...began to spread, who came out..."

Chen Na was taken aback by the look in his eyes, and quickly calmed down, "Don’t worry, Li Hao, many old people should have heard this song, youngsters have heard less, so you don’t know, if you’re interested, We can check it slowly, don't worry!"

Li Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse in my heart.

Don’t worry!

He didn't expect, he just gave Chen Na a look, and the other party actually gave such an important clue. This song Li Hao has never heard of it, and no one has sung it. It should be for many years. It is no longer popular before.

Because with the popularity of Mandarin, these local village folk songs have been gradually lost since the older generation entered the soil.

The generation of Li Hao grandfather died early. Li Hao has never seen it before, so naturally no one will sing it to him.

"Calm!"

Li Hao yelled in his heart, what anxious? With clues, this is the key. Don't be anxious.

Now the key is to make sure that the first person to die is Zheng.

Ten years ago, the Confidential Bureau destroyed some of the case files, but it was not completely out of place to check, and he didn’t need to check carefully. He only needed to find out about fifteen to ten years ago. Is there any surnamed Zheng who died because of self-immolation?

At this moment, Li Hao is excited, and fearful.

If it is true, then the next one... is yourself!

Little Yuan must have seen something and heard something, so he let himself escape.

"Li Family's sword..."

"Li Family's sword!"

Li Hao thought in his heart, suddenly his eyes widened, Li Family... ...Has a sword!
