Chapter 385 The Intricate Timeline
Even while playing a murder mystery game, Liang He was still surrounded by furry friends, and the black-and-white gentleman Xuan Jiao behind her still made fans swoon.

Beibei secretly interacted with the platinum lion, while the Mengji snow leopard lay lazily at Liang He's feet, swishing its tail.

The timeline story finally comes to Liang He, but most of her timeline has already been told by Laila.

“My timeline is basically the same as Leila’s, but at 4:35 p.m., because Leila hadn’t come back, I was about to go downstairs to look for her when I happened to run into General Lille. We chatted for five minutes.”

After the chat ended, Leila returned just then, but the two didn't bump into each other, so neither knew about the incident.

After adding this information, it was time to seize the initiative, and Cedril, who was sitting next to her, spoke.

“I am Admiral Lille, invited to the ball. Because I am the young lady’s fiancé candidate, I arrived at the castle a day earlier than the other guests.”

Besides the general, the professor and the richest man also received the same treatment, moving into the castle a day earlier.

Moreover, their room was on the same floor as the young lady's, which was also a deliberate arrangement.

“I took care of some personal matters this morning. After my lunch break, around 1:30, I went to see the Earl, but he wasn’t in his study. So I wandered around the castle and happened to run into Professor Lan.”

Liang He and Landon met between 2 and 3 pm, so Cedril met Landon between 1:30 and 2 pm.

"We chatted for a few minutes and then parted ways. I wandered around until 3:30, because I had to start preparing my attire for the ball at 4:00, so I went to find the Earl again."

Although men don't need to wear makeup, they still need to spend a lot of time styling their hair and suits.

Since this is a matchmaking event, you definitely need to pay attention to your image and not embarrass yourself.

"After meeting the Earl, we chatted for about ten minutes, and then I went back to my room early. After changing my clothes, I was a little bored, so I decided to go to the ball early. I happened to run into the young lady and we chatted for a while."

Cedril's timeline is fairly simple, but there's one strange thing about it.

"Since you have business with the Earl, why did you wander around from 1:30 to 3:30? That's a full two hours. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Li Xiao raised questions.

Logically speaking, if someone had something to discuss with them, they would have been thinking about it the whole time. How could they have been wandering around for two hours, only to go to the study to find someone when it was almost time to prepare for the ball?
【Yes! If it were me, I would definitely keep this on my mind. If I can't find him in the study, I can always ask someone else!】

[This is indeed very suspicious. It would be more reasonable if he had gone to the study to see the Earl at some point, but if that's true, then it's odd that he concealed this.]

[And another thing, the General has been wandering around, and he even ran into Professor Lan earlier. Could it be such a coincidence that he didn't run into the Young Lady?]

Based on Leila and Lianghe's timeline, it's suspicious that they didn't see each other for a whole hour, as they were taking a walk in the garden from 2 PM to 3 PM!
Of course, all of this is just speculation. If we don't actually encounter it, given the size of the castle, it's not impossible.

"I was hoping to run into the Earl in the castle, which is why I kept wandering around. In the end, I had no choice but to go to the study."

Cedril handled Li Xiao's questions with ease, which was quite different from the impression he usually gave Liang He; he was much more composed.

Unable to find any faults for the time being, Li Xiao chose to listen to the next speaker.

"Next up is Professor Lan."

Elius was the last person to speak.

Landon cleared his throat and began to recount his timeline.

"I was supposed to arrive at the castle a day earlier than Lille and Elie, but because there was an academic seminar in the morning, I didn't arrive at the castle until noon."

As the chief professor, it's normal for Professor Lan to have more academic conferences. "After lunch, I was too tired, so I went back to my room for a nap. Around 2 p.m., I met General Lille and the young lady in the garden. After parting ways with the young lady at 3 p.m., I went to see the Earl."

Judging from Langton's script, Admiral Lille left in a different direction than the young lady, so it's reasonable that they didn't bump into each other.

The reason he didn't run into Ellie was because it took him time to get from the garden to the study, while Ellie, the richest man, was seen by Evelyn going to see the Earl at exactly three o'clock.

"Did you see the Earl?"

Li Xiao was particularly concerned about this.

So far, only the butler, the doctor, the lady, and Admiral Lille have said they saw the deceased; no one else has a relevant timeline.

"I didn't see it."

Landon shook his head and continued explaining the timeline.

"Because I couldn't find the Earl, I went back to my room at 3:10 to prepare some academic materials. An hour later, I went to find the Earl again."

This time, Professor Langton successfully spoke with the Earl in the study, and because the doctor's testimony indicated that the Earl was still alive at 4:30, it was impossible to doubt Langton.

"So you met the deceased at 4:10, and how long did you talk?"

Everyone was frantically taking notes in their notebooks. Even Liang He, in order to make the netizens feel more involved, didn't rely on her good memory and gave up using pen and paper.

"It was less than ten minutes, because I was in a hurry to go back to my room to change my clothes."

When Professor Lan left the study, there were only forty minutes left before the ball was to begin, so he really needed to hurry.

Ugh... this is giving me a headache. Could someone please share the timeline?

[Haha! We're still missing one person. I guess the experts will release the compiled timeline after everyone has spoken.]

What are you guys thinking? Come on, this is a quiz with prizes! Who's stupid enough to help their competitors?!

Listening to the timelines of eight people has already exhausted netizens' brains.

Many people lamented that it would have been great if there had been an official timeline compiled instead of a live broadcast.

“I am the richest man, Eli. Like Admiral Lille, I arrived at the castle a day early. This morning I discussed matters with the Earl, and then went back to my room to take care of personal matters.”

Eli's timeline is a little different from the others; he had already seen the deceased that morning.

This point was immediately remembered by everyone.

"After lunch break, I went to play golf. Around three o'clock, I remembered that I had some things to discuss with the Earl, so I went to his study to find him."

According to Evelyn's timeline, she did see Ellie go to the study to see the Earl at 3 p.m.

"However, I knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered, so I wandered around the castle area some more."

Because it was already past three o'clock, the richest man, Ellie, unfortunately missed the opportunity to meet the young lady.

However, while he was strolling around, he saw another person.

"Around 3:10, I saw a figure enter the castle, carrying something in their hand. Now it seems very likely that it was—"
