The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, inside the magnificent room.

The wide-open windows let in a gust of cold wind, causing the oil lamp on the table to flicker on and off.

Next to the overturned chair lay a noble young man in gorgeous clothes.

At this moment, his delicate face looked pale and colorless, his eyes were closed tightly and his lips were purple.

A sharp arrow shot into his chest openly, pointing straight to his heart.

"Ahem..."

Suddenly, the young man coughed suddenly and woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around blankly, only to find that it was no longer the familiar environment.

"Where is this?"

"Am I not in the detective agency? Hiss..."

Memories poured out of his mind like a flood, Kane Gerrard was the name of this body.

As a baron who had just inherited the title, he could have had great success, but on this night, a sudden assassination ended his life.

At this moment, Su Ming from Blue Star inherited his body.

It was unlucky to say that Su Ming just took a nap in his detective agency, but he didn't expect that when he woke up, he would travel through time.

Su Ming stood up unsteadily, but felt a burst of pain in his chest. Only then did Su Ming remember that there was a sharp arrow stuck in his body.

"Damn it, I forgot about this."

Looking at the sharp arrow that had sunk into his chest, Su Ming didn't know what to do, but the increasingly severe pain warned him that he should either pull out the sharp arrow, or the pain would continue.

After struggling for a moment, Su Ming took a deep breath, endured the heart-piercing pain, held the arrow tail, and pulled out the sharp arrow.

Immediately, golden-red blood spurted out following the arrow, and Su Ming himself fell to his knees on the ground.

Unspeakable pain appeared in his body, as if the moment he pulled out a sharp arrow, Su Ming's own strength also drained away along with his blood.

Holding his chest that was bleeding continuously, Su Ming slowly changed from kneeling to falling down. Finally, he lost the strength to support himself and collapsed completely. Everything in front of him became sleepy.

But his will to survive kept reminding him that he couldn't just sleep.

Perhaps the gods were also moved by him. Under his strong will, his eyelids, which were already rolling, gradually opened, and an inexplicable feeling of comfort filled his heart and spread throughout his body.

Su Ming, who no longer felt pain, relaxed his mind in this sense of comfort and gradually fell asleep.

........

early morning.

When the bright sunshine shone into the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Lord Baron Kane."

Maintaining the same posture as last night, Su Ming, no, it should be said that it was Kane who fell to the ground, opened his eyes again.

He struggled to get up from the floor, wiped his wet cheeks, and then realized that his whole body was covered in blood.

But what makes Kane feel strange is that his blood is actually mixed with a little golden color, and the blood that should have dried or coagulated long ago is now dripping from his body like running water.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Kane ripped off his tattered shirt.

After looking at his chest, he showed an expression that was indeed true.

The bloody hole left by pulling out the sharp arrow has now healed, leaving only a hideous scar.

I'm afraid something happened to my body last night.

Kane clearly knew that even if he had the first-level strength in his memory, he would not have such an ability.

Looking at the large pool of blood on the floor, Kane shook his head in self-mockery. That's right, a person who can still be fine with this blood should be no longer a normal person.

At this time, there was another questioning voice outside the door.

"Lord Baron Kane?"

Listening to this familiar voice, Kane knew the identity of the person outside the door. He was his personal servant Enqin.

As a servant who grew up with Kane, he is deeply trusted by him.

Before he knew whether the assassin came from outside the castle or inside the castle, Engen was the person he trusted the most.

Immediately, Kane opened the door and pulled Engen into the room.

"Lord Kane, what's wrong with you?" Enqin asked anxiously, looking at Kane whose whole body was covered in blood.

Kane patted Enqin on the shoulder, signaled him to calm down, and then said: "Enqin, I'm fine. No need to ask more about this matter. You clean up this place first, and remember to leave the arrows."

Seeing that Kane didn't want to say more, Enqin suppressed the doubts in his heart and started to clean up.

On the other side, Kane, who had finished his instructions, went to the bathroom alone to clean himself.

After washing and dressing up again, Kane walked out of the room and was led by another maid to the restaurant.

After he took his seat, the servant waiting aside began to serve breakfast, and the butler Jace also walked in at this time.

In the memory of the original owner, Butler Jace was an old man who had been assisting the family since the previous baron, and his experience could be described as very sophisticated.

"Lord Kane, Petersburg's warm red wine has been prepared for you. Do you want to serve it now?"

"Serve it, Jace."

"As you wish, Lord Kane."

Jace took the red wine from the servant's hand and slowly poured it into Kane's glass.

During this period, Kane also observed everyone's expressions, but both Jace and others were as usual.

It seemed that they didn't know that they were being assassinated. Could it be that the murderer came from outside the fort?

.......

After breakfast, Kane followed his original habit and went to the training ground outside the castle to start his daily morning exercises.

Waving the long sword in his hand, Kane absentmindedly slashed at the training dummy.

While trying to maintain his normal routine, Kane also kept thinking about who wanted to assassinate him at this juncture.

Is it Jace? Obviously not. As the steward of the castle, he has no reason to assassinate himself.

Could that be Marcus? A strong and steady figure emerged in Kane's mind, but then he shook his head. As his own canonized knight, the other party would not make such an unwise choice.

That would definitely not be Catherine. Like Marcus, she was a transcendent person raised by her own family. Once she fell, they themselves would be greatly affected.

Putting down the long sword in his hand and taking the towel handed by the servant, Kane wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to think that apart from all the candidates in the castle, it could only be an assassination from the outside.

The morning exercise ended quickly, and Kane returned to his study room again.

At this time, the study room had been cleaned by Enqin, who stood aside and handed the murder weapon and arrow to Kane.

After taking the arrow, Kane ordered: "Enqin, remember not to tell anyone about what happened in the room."

Enqin nodded: "Yes, I understand, Lord Kane." Then he consciously exited the study.

After the other party closed the door, Kane picked up the arrow and examined it carefully. There was a protruding part at the tail end of the arrow, and the feathers that should have been at the tail were above this part. This is typical.

Crossbow arrow deconstruction.

At the same time, the style of crossbow arrows is also common on the market. It is obvious that the assassin did not want others to detect his identity.

Putting down the arrow, Kane came to the window. Assuming his previous reasoning was true, then the murderer most likely entered the room from outside.

The study window looked very clean, thanks to the servants who came to clean it every day, but Kane still found some doubts under the window.

Looking up and down, the majestic stone walls supported the entire castle, but a few places below the windows, Kane noticed that one or two stone bricks looked a little different.

They are all missing a piece of leg, and the missing position is right on both sides of the window.

This tiny detail, if it weren't for Kane's occupation in his previous life, would never have been noticed by ordinary people.

Sure enough, just as I thought, the murderer came in from outside.

So the murderer who was able to evade multiple inspections outside the fort and easily climb the city wall to assassinate himself must be an extraordinary person, even higher in rank than himself.

This gave Kane a bit of a headache. Extraordinary beings all have their own unique powers, which are far beyond the ability of ordinary soldiers to resist.

Moreover, now that the other party is hiding and he is hiding, once he finds out that he is still alive, he will definitely come to assassinate him again.

Kane must make a plan before the opponent assassinates him.
