Opportunities need to be created by yourself.
Li Hao's opportunity also needs to be created by himself.
So, Li Hao organized 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.
The voice of the head of the confidential room came from the door: "Come in!"
...
Li Hao opened the office door.
"Office Chief!"
"Li Hao!"
Wang Jie, middle-aged, couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Hao.
This is a good boy, polite and willing to work. After all, he received higher education at the Ancient Yincheng Academy. Although he dropped out of school early, he was not expelled but left on his own. He still cared a lot about it.
Li Hao also smiled and quickly said, "Chief, I have something to report."
"Sit down!"
Wang Jie said hello. The tasks in the confidential room were not very heavy. As for things, they were not important. Important matters were usually handled by the law enforcement team in the front. In general, the confidential room was still very stable.
Regarding Li Hao's report, Wang Jie wondered if this guy wanted to be familiar to be promoted.
But time was too short. This guy dropped out of school again and only became a full-time employee for half a year. It was impossible to be promoted in such a short time.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Hao's face in front of him began to become serious, and his voice sounded a bit monotonous: "Chief, I am in the confidential room, and I am mainly responsible for organizing files of some mysterious and unsolved cases. After a year in the confidential room, I have compiled the files of the past ten years. Some files from 2018 have been reorganized and reclassified..."
Wang Jie instantly smiled, nodded, and said, "I know, the best students are the best! The files used to be a bit messy, and some old files were almost eaten by insects. t be found when needed., so as soon as you come here, you can find any case you want to find recently, and you have merit for that..."
Li Hao nodded quickly: "Chief, I'm not here to show my merits."
Not?
Wang Jie laughed, did he really have something to report?
He didn't say anything, nodded, and gestured for Li Hao to continue.
Li Hao took out the document in front of him, handed one to Wang Jie, and opened one himself. Although he was young, his voice was calm: "On September 16, 1720, a self-immolation case occurred in the Yincheng Anju community. Someone witnessed it. The victim set himself on fire in public, and sparks suddenly emerged from his body, burning the person alive."
Wang Jie also looked at the file in his hands at this moment and then looked at Li Hao.
It was a case that happened ten years ago and was closed. It wasn't a murder but an accident. Why is this guy bringing up a case that was closed ten years ago?
Li Hao continued: "On September 22, 1723, at the Yincheng Commercial Center, a vendor's hair suddenly caught fire, and his whole body burned quickly. He was burned to death in public."
Wang Jie nodded: "I know about that."
Li Hao didn't argue and continued reading: "On August 18, 1725, at the Yincheng Minsheng Hotel, a guest checked in and was found dead in the hotel one day later.
There was a five-year gap between the first self-immolation case and two years between the second.
In the past five years, there have been three cases of self-immolation, 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 not really a big problem, and few people care about it.
Unless all three cases are handled by one person, it may attract some attention.
There are countless files in the confidential room. Wang Jie usually didn't pay much attention to them. Now, after hearing a few words, he felt vaguely and looked at Li Hao with a frown.
Li Hao continued: "On February 16, 1727, another person burned to death on Dongfang Street in Yincheng. case, a year and a half!
Wang Jie's expression changed slightly. From three years to two years, from two years to a year and a half, another self-immolation case occurred in Yincheng!
"On August 12, 1728, the Yincheng Suburban Inspection Department reported that a person was missing in the territory. Subsequently, a burned corpse was found by the river. was closed as an accident."
Another year and a half!
This was reported by a subordinate agency. The confidential office only organizes files and does not participate in case processing. Moreover, cases caused by such accidents were closed below and would not be overturned hastily by superiors.
Wang Jie's face became increasingly solemn. He really didn't care. There were many documents and files in the confidential room, and many old files were destroyed every year.
"Another year and a half..."
Wang Jie didn't look at the file in his hands, but looked at Li Hao and said in a deep voice, "Once it was three years, once it was two years, and there was a gap of a year and a half between the two times. In August and September 1729, was there another self-immolation case?"
1729, meaning last year.
Wang Jie thought about it, did it happen last year?
Is there a one-year difference?
If that's true, it means that six self-immolation cases occurred in Yincheng in ten years!
In fact, it's not much when divided equally. It's once every two years. Yincheng is so big that it's not managed by a branch but scattered. A branch can only handle it in ten years. Who cares?
Li Hao nodded: "Another incident happened in 1729, and it happened in the Ancient Courtyard of Yincheng, and... the person involved was my classmate, in the dormitory next door! Part of the reason I left the Ancient Courtyard of Yincheng was related to this incident. I witnessed it at that time. After all, I developed a fear of Guyuan, and my classmate set himself on fire, so I wanted to know why he set himself on fire!
Li Hao looked solemn: "That's part of the reason I came to the Inspection Department. Outsiders can't check these files, but I can! I examined and solved the self-immolation cases in the past ten years, and I found... maybe this is not nothing. Accident!"
Wang Jie quickly examined the documents in his hands, looked at them for a moment, looked at Li Hao, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you think."
"In ten years, there were six cases in total. No, strictly speaking, it's nine years. We haven't received any such cases until now this year."
Li Hao said sternly: "Chief, because of my classmate's incident, I take this very seriously. It's
