Chapter 1 Baron Kane
The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, in a magnificent room.
The open window blew in a cold wind, causing the oil lamp on the table to flicker.
Beside the overturned chair lay a young nobleman in gorgeous clothes.
At this moment, his delicate face looked pale and colorless, his eyes were closed and his lips were purple.
A sharp arrow actually shot into his chest, pointing directly at his heart.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, the young man coughed violently and woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around blankly, but found that it was no longer the environment he was familiar with.
"Where is this?"
"Am I not in the detective agency? Hiss..."
The gushing memories appeared in his mind like a tide. Kane Gerrard was the name of this body.
As a baron who had just inherited the title, he could have had a great time, but on this night, the sudden assassination ended his life.
At this time, Su Ming from Blue Star inherited his body.
It was unlucky. Su Ming just took a nap in his detective agency. He didn't expect to travel through time when he woke up.
After standing up shakily, he felt a pain in his chest. Su Ming remembered that there was still a sharp arrow stuck in his body.
"Damn, I forgot about this."
Looking at the sharp arrow that had penetrated his chest, Su Ming didn't know what to do, but the increasingly severe pain was telling him that he should either pull out the sharp arrow or continue to feel pain.
After struggling for a while, Su Ming took a deep breath, endured the pain, held the tail of the arrow, and pulled out the sharp arrow.
Then, golden red blood gushed out along with the arrow, and Su Ming himself knelt on the ground.
The unspeakable pain appeared in his body, as if from the moment the sharp arrow was pulled out, Su Ming's own strength also disappeared along with the blood.
Covering his chest that was constantly bleeding, Su Ming slowly fell from kneeling to falling, and finally lost the strength to support himself, and fell down completely, and everything in front of him became sleepy.
But his will to survive kept reminding him not to fall asleep like this.
Perhaps the gods were also moved by him. Under his strong will, his eyelids, which had been spinning, gradually opened, and an inexplicable sense of comfort surged from his heart to his whole body.
Su Ming, who no longer felt pain, relaxed his mind in this comfort and gradually fell asleep.
........
Early morning.
When the bright sunlight shone into the room, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock."
"Lord Baron Kane."
Maintaining the posture of last night, Su Ming, who fell to the ground, no, it should be Kane, opened his eyes again.
He struggled to get up from the floor and wiped his slightly wet cheek, only then did he realize that his whole body was covered with blood.
But what surprised Kane was that his blood was mixed with some gold, and the blood that should have dried or coagulated long ago was now dripping from his body like water. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Kane tore off his tattered shirt.
After looking at his chest, he showed an expression of "as expected".
The blood hole left by the sharp arrow had healed, leaving only a hideous scar.
My body might have changed last night.
Kane knew clearly that even if he had the strength of the first level in his memory, he would not have such an ability.
Looking at the large pool of blood on the floor, Kane shook his head again in self-mockery. That's right, anyone who could leave a pool of blood on the floor and still be fine should not be a normal person.
At this time, another question came from outside the door.
"Lord Baron Kane?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Kane knew the identity of the person outside the door. It was his personal servant Enqin.
As a servant who grew up with Kane, he was deeply trusted by him.
When he didn't know whether the assassin came from outside or inside the castle, Enqin was the person he trusted the most.
Immediately, Kane opened the door and pulled Enqin into the room.
"Lord Kane, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Kane, who was covered in blood, Enqin asked anxiously.
Kane patted Enqin's shoulder, motioned him to calm down, and said: "Enqin, I'm fine, there's no need to ask more about this matter, you clean up here first, remember to leave the arrows."
Seeing that Kane didn't want to say more, Enqin suppressed his doubts and began to clean up.
On the other side, Kane, who had given instructions, went to the bathroom alone to wash.
After washing and dressing again, Kane walked out of the door and came to the dining room led by another maid.
After he sat down, the servants waiting on the side began to serve breakfast, and the butler Jess also walked in at this time.
In the original owner's memory, this butler Jace was an old man who had assisted the family since the last generation of barons, and his experience was very experienced.
"Lord Kane, the warm red wine of Petersburg has been prepared for you. Would you like to serve it now?"
"Serve it, Jace."
"As you wish, Lord Kane."
Jace took the red wine from the servant and slowly poured it into Kane's glass.
During this period, Kane also observed the expressions of everyone, but whether it was Jace or others, they were as usual.
It seemed that they didn't know that they were assassinated. Could the murderer come from outside the castle?
.......
After breakfast, Kane came to the training ground outside the castle according to the habit of the original body and started his daily morning exercise.
Waving the long sword in his hand, Kane absent-mindedly slashed at the training dummy.
While trying to maintain the daily life of the original body, Kane kept thinking about who wanted to assassinate him at this juncture.
Is it Jace? Obviously not. As the steward of the castle, he had no reason to assassinate me.
Would it 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.
It would definitely not be Catherine. She and Marcus were both extraordinary people cultivated by their own family. Once they fell, they would also be greatly affected.
Putting down the long sword in his hand, 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 again.
The study had been cleaned by Enqin at this time. He stood aside and handed the murder weapon arrow to Kane.
After receiving the arrow, Kane said, "Enqin, remember not to spread what happened in the room."
Enqin nodded, "Yes, I know, Lord Kane." Then, he consciously left the study.
After the other party closed the door, Kane picked up the arrow and carefully studied it. There was a protruding part at the end of the arrow, and the feathers that should have been at the end were above this part. This is a typical crossbow deconstruction.
At the same time, the crossbow style is also a common commodity. It is obvious that the assassin did not want people to know his identity.
Putting down the arrow, Kane came to the window. Assuming that his previous reasoning was true, the murderer was likely to enter the room from outside.
The window of the study 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 wall supported the entire castle, but in a position below the window, Kane found that one or two bricks looked a little different.
They all lacked a piece of edge, and the missing position happened to be facing the two sides of the window.
This tiny detail, if not because of Kane's previous life's occupation, would definitely not be noticed by ordinary people.
Sure enough, as he thought, the murderer came in from outside.
Then the murderer who could avoid multiple patrols outside the castle and easily climb up the wall to assassinate him must be a superhuman, even higher in rank than himself.
This gave Kane a little headache. Superhumans all have their own unique powers, which are far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers.
Besides, now the other party is in the dark and he is in the light. Once he finds out that he is still alive, he will definitely come to assassinate again.
Kane must make a plan before the other party assassinates him.
