The Curious Case of Chester Lang

It's a quiet morning in the picturesque town of Lanchester, but something is amiss. The respected historian, Chester Lang, has been found collapsed in a field next to the old Roman Fort. Rumours are swirling that Chester had recently discovered a hoard of Roman artifacts, hoping to showcase them at the local museum and bring fame to the town. But with his sudden and mysterious death, the question remains - was it an accident, or something more sinister?
