After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 389: The roundtable discussion begins!

The roundtable discussion involves everyone sharing the clues they've collected and then discussing the story behind each suspect, as well as their motives for killing the victim.

Due to time constraints, everyone was focused on getting things done quickly and avoiding unnecessary conversation.

Netizens went to great lengths to explore the tickets, especially the highest-level one, taking notes in their notebooks.

"The forensic report just arrived, confirming that the Earl died of asphyxiation, not poisoning, and that the time of death was between 4:30 and 5:30."

As a detective, Li Xiao received all the first-hand information.

"Furthermore, the Count's body was found to contain the ingredients of a 'coma-inducing drug'."

Therefore, the count must have been killed while unconscious.

In this way, even Evelyn and the others, who were relatively weaker, could not escape suspicion.

"Now everyone can share their findings. Since we are in groups, you can each send a representative. If there is anything to add, the group members can then add it."

If all nine suspects were to speak one by one, the time would be out of control.

Presumably, netizens won't be able to stick with it, and they'll end up falling asleep listening to it, which would defeat the purpose of attracting them to play in the first place.

"Then let me talk first."

Since Li Xiao has just announced the cause of death, it would be most appropriate to start with the crime scene in the study on the second floor.

Langton, as the representative, spoke first.

Behind him was a huge blackboard, on which people could write to help them sort out the clues.

"We were responsible for searching the second floor area, and we went to the study first..."

Liang He was able to use the furry creatures to find clues, and the three of them were just as good, basically uncovering all the clues.

"First of all, everyone has already reached a consensus on the point that it was a locked-room murder."

The small hole that Beibei climbed through is too big for an adult to pass through, and even a slender woman would find it difficult.

Unless the murderer can shrink their bones.

"What's strange is that we didn't find the murder weapon."

Since it was strangulation, there should have been a murder weapon such as a rope, but after searching around, they found no suspicious items.

The other groups seem to have nothing to add, meaning the murder weapon is still missing.

"However, we found quite a few interesting things in the Earl's study."

There are other suspects, including Professor Lan himself, but his evidence will be supplemented by Cedril and Elius.

"First, we discovered that the Earl's health seems to be not very good."

Langton looked at the doctor and said, "You're so ruthless," and then placed the Earl's medical examination report in front of everyone.

"The report indicates that he is exhausted and nearing the end of his life."

The interesting thing is that, according to the NPC servants, the count did not show any signs of being terminally ill.

"Countess, are you aware of this matter?"

Langton suddenly turned his gaze to Evelyn, seemingly testing her intentions.

Evelyn, on the other hand, shook her head in bewilderment, repeatedly flipping through the script in her hands to make sure she hadn't misread it.

"I knew nothing about this. The Earl has always been very health-conscious. How could he be seriously ill without telling us?"

"You'll need to ask a doctor about that."

Upon hearing Evelyn's reply, Langton once again pointed at You're so vicious.

Everyone's attention was focused on Nihaodu, which made him inexplicably nervous.

Fortunately, there was a script, so we could read it aloud and avoid talking nonsense.

"Cough... The Earl does have health problems, but he doesn't want me to tell anyone else. He just wants me to check on him every day." When explaining the timeline at the beginning, Youhaodu mentioned that he had checked on the Earl at 4:30.

"So, if you're telling the truth, based on the death report just now, you're very likely the last person the Earl ever saw."

Since the time of death was between 4:30 and 5:30, based on the timeline everyone just gave, it seems that Youhaodu was indeed the last person to see the Earl.

Of course, this does not mean that he is the murderer.

[I remember we mentioned a time-delay device before, right? Did they find it?]

If there really was a delay device, then the doctor would be less of a suspect, right? For the sake of an alibi.

[We don't know the exact method of the murder, and the murder weapon hasn't been found. I find the Countess, as the first person to discover the body, very suspicious.]

Generally speaking, the first person to discover a crime scene is very likely to be the murderer.

However, since this is a murder mystery game, netizens are unsure whether the scriptwriters will do the opposite.

"Let's move on to the next one. In addition to the Earl's physical examination report, we found that the young master's health report was also included."

This time, Landon's attention was set on Liang Jia.

If the family's reports were all with the Earl, why did they only find the Earl's and the young master's reports?
Is there some secret behind this?
"Young Master, are you aware of this matter?"

"I do not know."

Liang Jia gently shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing about it.

"So, you were unaware that the Earl circled the words 'very healthy' in red on the test report?"

Landon placed the young master's medical report on the table for everyone to see.

One of the devices in the live stream cleverly flew into the air and passed the clues to the viewers.

[It's true! The words "very healthy" are circled in red!]

[That's strange. The father took his son's test report and circled the comments... Something just doesn't feel right.]

[Wasn't it said that the Earl was nearing the end of his life? Perhaps he was worried about his large family, so he wanted to confirm whether his son could shoulder the heavy responsibility?]

The netizens' opinions have some merit.

But if the goal is for the young master to inherit the earl's position, shouldn't we focus more on his abilities?

“I really didn’t know about this, but my father has always been very concerned about our health since I was a child, and it’s not just me.”

Liang Jia didn't need to look at the script; she could quickly retrieve the information she already knew from her mind.

His words shifted the blame onto Liang He and Evelyn.

Of course, NPC Beibei is also among them, after all, she plays the role of the young lady.

“Young Master is right. The Earl is very concerned about the health of his three children.”

A comprehensive inspection every six months, a fixed inspection every month, and a routine inspection every week—none of them are missed.

The Earl himself conducts a routine inspection every day, so everyone has gotten used to it.

"So, the Earl might simply want his heir to be healthier?"

Li Xiao pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of any other reason.

Putting that aside for now, Langton began to recount other clues.

However, none of them have a clear direction.

"We found a safe in the study, but we don't have the combination or key to open it. We might need to search for it together during the second round of evidence search."

After Langdon finished speaking, Cedril went on stage to add to his remarks.

"I only have one additional clue, and I'd like to ask Professor Lan—"
