Return to your seat from the room director's office.

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

"Almost a year!"

Whisper something softly.

Opposite me, Chen Na asked curiously: "Why is it almost a year?"

Li Hao smiled and explained: "I said it has been almost a year since I joined the Inspection Department."

"Oh, you have such a good memory."

Chen Na didn't pay attention anymore. Who would remember this? It doesn't mean anything.

Li Hao didn't say much.

He remembers!

I remember it very clearly!

On August 1, 1729, he joined the Inspectorate.

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

On July 22, 1729, a self-immolation occurred in Yincheng Ancient Courtyard.

Zhang Yuan, a second-level student of Guyuan, set himself on fire outside his dormitory and was burned alive.

In order not to affect the reputation of Yincheng Ancient Academy, and after the inspection by the Inspection Department, it was indeed caused by an accident, the news of the matter was blocked, and very few people knew that a student of Yincheng Ancient Academy died.

Of course, one thing that didn't make it a big deal was that Zhang Yuan's parents were both dead, and he had no relatives or victims at home, so the matter was quickly suppressed.

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

"Zhang Yuan!"

I thought silently in my heart, it has been almost a year since Xiaoyuan died.

The scene of that day came to mind again.

The red blood shadow seemed to grasp Xiaoyuan's soul, and the blood-red flame burned Xiaoyuan's soul. The pain, struggle, collapse, and various emotions were not seen by others, but Li Hao seemed to see them clearly.

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

Others might think it was wailing, but only Li Hao knew it was not.

"escape!"

Yes, that is letting yourself escape.

Li Hao is very familiar with Zhang Yuan!

Keep yourself away, keep yourself away.

Zhang Yuan did not die in the dormitory. When he died, he was only wearing a pair of underwear. He looked ridiculous, but Li Hao never found it ridiculous.

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

He couldn't make a sound, so he smashed a tile with almost the greatest perseverance. Only then in the dead of night did he cause a lot of commotion. Many people went out to check, including Li Hao.

Is Zhang Yuan asking for help?

Outsiders think it is so, but Li Hao thinks...it's not.

He was warning himself. Zhang Yuan escaped from the dormitory, made a noise, and attracted Li Hao. Finally, he silently said "escape". This was not asking for help from Li Hao, but letting him escape.

"14 years."

Li Hao murmured again in his heart.

He and Zhang Yuan have known each other for 14 years. They are not just classmates for two years as others imagined. They have known each other for 14 years. They have been classmates since childhood, or should we say best friends?

It's just that both of them are taciturn people, so the friendship between men doesn't need to be talked about all the time.

Just like Zhang Yuan, at the moment before death, he struggled to escape with extremely strong willpower, just to convey a message to Li Hao and escape!

Zhang Yuan's self-immolation case was finally suppressed and silenced.

Naturally, few people would investigate Li Hao, a close friend.

"Xiaoyuan asked me to run away, was it because of something he saw or heard, or because of pure fear? Or... Xiaoyuan knew that Xueying's next target was me?"

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

He couldn't imagine how much pain Zhang Yuan endured, but at that moment, he still warned himself. Li Hao felt that it was not simple. Maybe... Xueying's next target is himself!

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

"It spans ten years, and time is getting faster and faster. If you include me, there are seven people, except for me and Zhang Yuan, there is nothing relevant. Are they random targets, or do they have clear goals?"

Li Hao rubbed his forehead gently and looked through the documents in front of him. These were all the files of six people, and they were also some clues he had collected through various channels over the past year.

It has been ten years since the first person died. There may or may not have been something before that. Li Hao has no way of knowing.

The time span spans ten years, and many things are actually difficult to query.

"Gender? Age? Occupation? Identity? Common contacts?"

Li Hao has looked through the documents in front of him many times. He has never discovered the common points in the conventional sense. These are a few completely unrelated people.

"Why did Blood Shadow kill them? Did they threaten Blood Shadow, or did they have other purposes?"

Countless doubts filled Li Hao's mind.

Of course, if we continue to pursue it, there is one more thing... revenge!

If Zhang Yuan died, no one would care, but Li Hao did.

The night watchman's side was full of uncertainties. If he had not been able to get effective clues, or had no good way to deal with a blood shadow that no one could see, Li Hao would not have hoped that the night watchman would kill the blood shadow.

Ying, he wishes he could kill that guy!

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

Across the way, Chen Na saw Li Hao opening the familiar document again and couldn't help but ask.

Over the past year, she had seen it many times. Li Hao had been reading this document, and the document was getting thicker and thicker, and Li Hao could almost see the rough edges.

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

I've only vaguely seen it, it's 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 and took a look at it casually. Have you been able to watch it for almost a year?

This guy is not honest sometimes.

"I've been watching for so long, Li Hao, what do you want to check? There are so many veteran inspectors here. You don't ask, so you just check by yourself. You are a newbie, what can you find? Why don't you show me, maybe I can

I’ll give you some advice, don’t worry, I won’t leak it.”

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

Really curious!

Li Hao didn't want people to know that he was investigating this before, because he was worried about attracting Hongying's attention. But now, he has been unable to find anything, and the case has been reported to Wang Jie. It is not impossible to show it to Chen Na now.

However, after thinking for a while, Li Hao still said: "Then take a look, but don't bother other people."

He doesn't want too many people to know that he is paying attention to this.

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

It was shown to Chen Na, and Li Hao had been looking for too long, but found nothing. I don't know if it was because he was too involved and the authorities were obsessed with it, or because there was really no connection.

Chen Na, an outsider, might be able to see something?

Well, Li Hao actually didn't have any hope, but he was a little unwilling to gain anything for a long time.

"Do not worry!"

Chen Na suddenly beamed, finally having a chance to see Li Hao's little secret.

Afraid that Li Hao would regret it, she hurriedly knelt down, snatched the document from Li Hao's hand, and quickly looked through it.

After a while, Chen Na said: "Li Hao, what do you want to find from these documents? I looked through them and found that there are too many. You have recorded every little thing in them, and they can be read as memoirs. You

What result do you want?"

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "What they have in common! What the six of them have in common!"

Chen Na was immediately speechless.

She looked through it carefully and found that the six people were of different ages, occupations and identities, both men and women, and they were in different circles.

And those who died early have been dead for 10 years!

The latest one died a year ago.

What do these six people have in common?
