Silent Letter
墨書 Inktalez
My name is Matthew White, and I am a detective. At this moment, I am standing in the shadows of an abandoned church on the outskirts of London, my heart pounding like thunder.
In the center of the church, a group of people dressed in black are gathered around a stone pillar engraved with a large letter "Z," chanting obscure incantations in hushed tones. A strange atmosphere fills the air, as if something terrible is about to happen.
I take a deep breath and grip my gun tightly. This is the closest I have come to the truth since I began investigating the Alphabet Killer case, and I cannot let it slip away now.
Let me start from the beginning of this bizarre case.
It all began a month ago. That day, I had just finished a mundane surveillance job and was preparing to enjoy a rare vacation. But fate seemed to play a trick on me.
On my desk lay an unsigned letter. The letter contained only one sentence: "The starting point of the Alphabet, the secret will begin with A."
At first, I thought it was just a prank by some bored individual. However, the next day, a woman named Anna Ailes was found dead in her home. Next to her body lay an open book, with the letter "A" circled in red ink on its pages.
My intuition told me that there must be some connection between this letter and the case.
Just as I was lost in thought, the phone rang, interrupting my contemplation. It was the police station; another murder had occurred. The victim was named Benjamin Black, a wealthy businessman. In his study, there was also an open book with the letter "B" circled in it.
Two cases, two letters. I began to realize that this could be the work of a serial killer who seemed to be selecting victims in alphabetical order.
I immediately threw myself into the investigation. By comparing the details of both cases, I discovered a commonality: both victims had visited a place called Elliot's Bookstore before their deaths.
With questions swirling in my mind, I went to Elliot's Bookstore. It was an old bookstore located in a remote alley in London, looking quite unremarkable at first glance. However, when I stepped inside, I found it to be quite extraordinary.
The bookstore owner, Abel Elliott, was a frail old man whose eyes sparkled with an elusive light. Under his guidance, I discovered the Letter Workshop located in the basement of the bookstore.
The workshop was filled with various artistic pieces shaped like letters, each one eerie and mysterious. What shocked me most was finding a sculpture of the letter "C" carved with Claire Carter's face on it. Claire Carter was indeed the name of the third victim.
At that moment, I received a third anonymous letter: "The fate of C has already been decided."
I realized that I needed to stop the killer's next move as soon as possible. But who was the killer? What were their motives? Why were they killing in alphabetical order?
The deeper I delved into the investigation, the more complex things became. I discovered a mysterious organization known as the Alphabet Society. They believed that specific combinations of letters could control fate, and this series of murders was part of some ritual they were conducting.
To uncover the truth, I decided to take risks and infiltrate the Alphabet Society. With help from an informant, I successfully blended into their secret gathering.
And so here I am in this abandoned church, witnessing the ultimate ritual of the Alphabet Society.
Suddenly, police sirens grow louder from afar. The members of the Alphabet Society begin to panic, but their leader insists on completing the ritual.
I know this is my only chance.
"Police! Don't move!" I shout as I rush forward while drawing my gun.
In the midst of chaos, I engaged in a fierce battle with the leader of the Alphabet Society. Ultimately, with the assistance of the police, we subdued most of the members.
The case seemed to come to a close, and the main members of the Alphabet Society were arrested. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that this was far from over.
Sure enough, not long after, I received a final letter. The envelope was black, and the letter "Z" was written in blood-red ink.
The letter read: "Dear Mr. Matthew White, our ritual has only just begun. Our next target is you. — Alphabet Society."
I stared at the blood-red "Z," feeling a chill run down my spine. I realized that this case was much more complex than I had imagined. It seemed I had become a pawn in this mysterious game.
But I would not back down. No matter what awaited me ahead, I was determined to uncover the truth behind the Alphabet Society and put an end to this absurd and dangerous game once and for all.
After all, I am Matthew White, a detective who never gives up.
