It was a blood-red letter. If it was in his previous life, Luo Ya might not be surprised. After all, many love letters on Valentine's Day were of this color, which represented sincerity. But in Xi Ya, this color represented an ominous one.
After all, people in modern society were used to peace and rarely saw blood, so they were not very sensitive to this color. But in the public security situation, which was far worse than Xi Ya in his previous life, this color would arouse people's vigilance, especially for Transcendents. This color of the envelope was an obvious warning.
When he found this letter in the mailbox early in the morning, Gelok originally thought it was a letter to cause trouble. After all, because of his roommate Paul, there were always some scoundrels who did not dare to show up at night who would send all kinds of insulting letters to the mailbox of the consultation department. He was very angry about this, but there was nothing he could do.
But adhering to the strict style of a military family, Gelok would still take a look at the content even if he was annoyed. But what he didn't expect was that he saw the problem today.
This was a letter of entrustment, and it was very long. There were three pieces of letter paper, and it could be seen that it was a very serious request. Judging from the handwriting, it was likely to be written by a girl, but the content inside was too strange. The most important thing was that there was no signature.
"It should be because of the content, so the client used this color of the envelope to attract our attention, but the content inside is really too involved …"
Gelok handed the letter to Luo Ya with both hands with a heavy expression and explained the reason why he took an hour to rush back from the central campus in the morning. After receiving the letter, Luo Ya did not read it directly, but called a servant to add a chair.
"Sit, eat something first."
"Ah, thank you, Minister."
Feeling Luo Ya's attention, Gelok smiled and sighed for the other party's thoughtfulness.
As a student organization, the consultation department naturally couldn't start its business so early. In fact, Gelok didn't have time to move to Pale Hall, and he had the habit of doing morning exercises. Today, when he was running, he found this letter on the way through the mailbox. After noticing that there was a problem, he took the first carriage to Pale Hall, so he definitely didn't eat breakfast.
Gerlock was so hungry that he stuffed food into his mouth. Paul was preparing for the meal. Luo Ya stroked the blood-red envelope for a moment, opened the letter, took out the letter and read it.
The content of the entire letter was very complicated, but in general, it was a letter asking for help. The content was to ask the consulting department to help find a senior named Shirley Lawrence who might be on campus. After reading the entire letter, Luo Ya handed the letter to Paul and leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.
Who would have thought that the first incident they encountered would be this?
The black-haired youth sighed in his heart, his expression slightly gloomy.
The Blood Envelope Incident, this was what Luo Ya called it. It was the first major incident in the academy in the that the youth played in his previous life. It was also an incident that changed the style of the entire story, making people re-evaluate the seemingly perfect academy and the world.
Normally, this incident should only appear after a few small incidents, but perhaps because Luo Ya changed something, the few small incidents that were used as foreshadowing didn't appear, causing the consultation department to be idle for half a month. But he never expected that as a result, Luo Ya and the others would have to face the extremely nasty Blood Envelope Incident when they started work for the first time.
The cause of the incident was the disappearance of Shirley Lawrence, a graduate of the academy this spring. Every year, St. Freya Academy's opening season was in early spring, but in fact, the graduation season was also in early spring. It was a model of retiring the old and welcoming the new. As graduates, Shirley and the others had already graduated for three months, so naturally, they weren't counted as students.
Shirley was born in a small country near the Austin Empire, the Lorent Kingdom. Her family wasn't nobles, but merchants. She was the second daughter in the family, and had an elder brother who inherited the family business, as well as a few younger sisters. Naturally, she didn't have the right to inherit the family business.
For graduates of St. Freya Academy who had no family business to inherit, the best place to go was to find a job in Leinster. After all, compared to other places, Leinster not only had concentrated resources, but also had the highest recognition of St. Freya Academy's academic qualifications. As long as they could develop well here, they might even be happier than their brothers who ran the family business back home.
As the second daughter of the family, Shirley naturally had the same thoughts after graduation, so she didn't go home immediately. Instead, she looked for a job in Leinster. But she didn't expect the unexpected. Shirley's elder brother and sisters were unfortunately caught in a flash flood when they were traveling, and they died while she was staying in Leinster. Her parents, in their grief, immediately wrote to Shirley to inform her of the incident and asked her to go home.
Without a doubt, the Lawrence family, who only had one daughter and a family business, could only take in a son-in-law. Shirley went from being one of the many children to being the only child. Although it was a little heartless, from a personal point of view, Shirley's future life became better after this tragedy.
However, something strange happened next. Shirley's parents didn't receive their daughter's return in a hurry. Instead, they received a reply letter. The content of the letter was that Shirley had found a job in Leinster, met a boyfriend, and wanted to start a new life. She thanked her parents in the letter and said that she didn't want to go home for the time being.
At first, Shirley's parents thought that the letter was sent by their daughter before she learned of her elder brother's death, so they didn't pay much attention to it. But as time passed, Shirley didn't return. The Lawrence couple, who only had one child at home, thought that their daughter couldn't bear to part with her boyfriend, so they traveled a long distance to Leinster to pick her up, only to find that their daughter had already gone missing.
More importantly, according to the receipt records of the Leinster post office, Shirley had actually received a letter from her parents. In other words, she already knew that her other children had died. The letter sent back to her hometown was sent a few days after she received it. It wasn't handled personally but sent from a public mailbox to the post office.
Then, here came the question. Would a person who knew that all her siblings had died in an accident happily write that she had a new boyfriend and didn't want to go home? Would she give up her right to inherit her family's fortune for a new job?
Obviously, this was impossible. Therefore, the Lawrence couple thought that their daughter had been kidnapped and immediately chose to report the case. However, Shirley stayed alone after graduation and didn't have any social connections. The Leinster police didn't find any clues after a round of investigation, so the matter was left unsettled.
Although the police gave up, the Lawrence couple didn't. After a round of investigation, they received news that someone had seen Shirley near St. Freya Academy during the few days she went missing. Therefore, they approached the academy, hoping to help with the investigation. However, the relevant personnel of St. Freya Academy were not interested in this matter.
After all, Shirley had already graduated. Strictly speaking, she was an off-campus employee. Furthermore, there was no evidence that she had once appeared on campus. In the eyes of the school, this matter was simply caused by the Lawrence couple, who couldn't find their daughter. After a symbolic notice, they sent them away.
The Lawrence family was only a business family in a small country. Naturally, they couldn't put pressure on a colossus like St. Freya Academy. However, what they didn't know was that a third-year student who had been taken care of by Shirley had started an investigation after learning about this matter. This was also the origin of this letter.
"The content of this letter … is really complicated."
At the dining table, Paul frowned after reading the letter. He could clearly feel that this request was different from the rest.
Usually, the requests that the consulting department received were at most about the difficulties that the students encountered in their lives. However, the content of this request was far from trivial. It actually involved a missing person case, and even carried a hint of danger.
If this letter was true, then accepting this request was equivalent to the consulting department participating in the investigation of Shirley's missing person case. Once they found clues, it was likely to involve a crime, and the impact would be huge. This was also why Gelok had hurriedly come to Luo Ya after reading the letter.
However, if they didn't accept this request, once Shirley was really still on campus and something happened to her, Paul and the others would inevitably blame themselves.
