“Hey”, said a man dressed in a coarse brown cloak, "How are you going to solve this one? It seems pretty impossible if you ask me.”
A charming young fellow no older than 25 answered, "Patience my dear Wat- I mean Baldwin. Everything should fall into place soon.”
“If you say so”, Baldwin said with a disappointed look on his face. He knew that it was of no use to try and get an answer from the person sitting in front of him.
Just moments ago the young man had seen an article about a dead body found by the authorities who had no idea how the person had died. So the police had sealed off the place so as to not tamper with any evidence found.

The next moment he appeared in his room.
“I should probably go for dinner or Isolde would be pretty angry.”

“I would not miss your cooking for the world”, replied Astraeus wittingly but was quickly shut down by her next remark.

“And ‘how’ is never the question but ‘who’ Baldwin”.
