I Woke Up in a Death Row Prisoner's Body, and the Ice-Cold Princess Insists I Help Solve Cases

Lu Jingheng, ace agent of the Secret Investigation Bureau, dies honorably in an explosion. When he opens his eyes, his soul has somehow entered the body of a Dali Temple deputy minister about to be executed. Covered in blood, with witnesses and evidence all pointing to him, he is due to be beheaded at noon tomorrow. Lu Jingheng thinks: These villains are really sloppy when it comes to framing people. Fortunately, he has activated the Secret Investigation Records. When ancient criminal investigation meets a modern agent, the result is a crushing advantage. The princess asks, "You say you didn't kill him. Where did the knife come from?" Lu Jingheng replies, "An officially manufactured waist saber, issued from the military armory." The princess asks, "Who made the box of stolen silver?" Lu Jingheng replies, "It was supplied by the Jingzhao Prefecture warehouse." The aloof princess Zhao Lingzhao says, "...I'll investigate this case with you." The jailer brings him poisoned wine. "My lord, have a drink to calm your nerves." Lu Jingheng grabs him by the chin. "Don't mind if I do. You drink first." From headless corpses floating in the water to illegally forged weapons, from factional struggles at court to the empress dowager's rebellion, Lu Jingheng looks at the aloof, haughty princess by his side and sighs. "All I wanted was to solve a case. How did I end up with power over the entire court?"
