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

Chapter 390 It's normal for the richest man to bring a box of gold bars!
"What I want to ask is—are you really the Empire's top professor?"

As Cedril spoke, everyone's attention turned to Landon.

"Or rather, are you really Professor Lan?"

Both of Cedril's statements clearly point to one thing: Professor Lan's identity is questionable.

This is very interesting. If Professor Lan is not Professor Lan, then who is he?

[I'm getting into this! I love watching these kinds of revealing secrets, hehe~]

[So, to speculate on a conspiracy, could it be that the Earl learned Professor Lan's true identity, which is why he wanted to kill her?]

[But it should be difficult for a chief professor to impersonate someone or tamper with things, right? Could it be plastic surgery?]

Faced with everyone's questioning and curious gazes, Landon could tell this part of the story according to the rules of murder mystery games.

“That’s right, I’m not the real Professor Lan.”

He readily admitted to impersonating someone else.

"Professor Lan is actually my twin brother."

In the story, Professor Lan is an outstanding student with exceptional academic talent, but no one knows that he actually has a twin brother.

Due to an accident at birth, the younger brother was frail and sickly for many years. In order to cure him, the older brother devoted himself to studying medicine and eventually became a chief professor on his own.

"But shortly after my brother healed me, he disappeared."

To facilitate the investigation into the truth behind his brother's disappearance, the younger brother, who was self-taught and whose talent was in no way inferior to his brother's, took his brother's name.

"So, you came to the castle to investigate Professor Lan's disappearance?"

Li Xiao knew that all the suspects present likely harbored some degree of intent to kill the Earl; it was just a matter of degree.

"Could it be that the Earl was behind your brother's disappearance, and that's why you want to kill him?"

Li Xiao's speculation is reasonable, and not only him, but netizens have also made various connections.

[If it's just a disappearance, it shouldn't amount to murder, right? It feels like there's more to the story.]

[But wasn't Professor Lan supposed to be the young lady's fiancé? If it's not true, why invite him?]

My intuition tells me there's more to this than meets the eye! The fake Professor Lan actually possesses medical talent, and could the Earl's poor health be related to this?

The netizens, so curious they were itching to jump into the live stream, wanted nothing more than to grab Langdon and bombard him with questions.

"I only speak based on evidence."

Landon did not directly answer Li Xiao's question; he would only offer an explanation when the evidence emerged, which was in accordance with the rules of the game.

"I! I have evidence! I'll explain later!"

After Cedril finished speaking and Elius added the clues he had found, the other groups were free to choose their speaking order.

It just so happens that the "You're So Poisonous" team is in charge of the third floor, which is the area where the young ladies and their fiancés live.

"Alright, let me tell you about the clues regarding the Countess first."

Elius, who was in charge of explaining the Countess's part of the clues, went up on stage and laid out the clues on the round table.

"Countess, you've always suspected the Earl of having a mistress, haven't you?"

She immediately asked sharp questions, but fortunately Evelyn was prepared, and with the mask covering her face, she didn't have to worry about her expressions betraying her emotions.

"...Actually, it's not really a doubt."

When the count was with his wife, he was often distracted, as if he didn't care about her at all.

Moreover, he always acted mysteriously, and sometimes he would even sneak out of the room in the middle of the night while the Countess was asleep.

"I suspect he's hiding a secret lover somewhere in the castle behind my back."

Otherwise, how do you explain the Earl's behavior of not sleeping in the middle of the night and running around outside?
"That's why you didn't call for someone to open the door when you first noticed something was wrong."

I recall the Countess's words at the time of the incident, which corresponded to this point. "Yes."

After this conversation, Evelyn's murderous intent gradually emerged, and it was very likely that she killed him out of love turned to hate.

Haha! I don't know why, but I inexplicably thought of a certain prince. I wonder if he's scared...

[If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. The Earl was unfaithful in his marriage and deserved to be killed.]

[Support! If you're afraid of dying, don't do things that make people hate you! You have children, a happy family, what more could you want?]

Netizens increasingly felt that the count deserved to die.

Because the space was too large, Elius and his two companions focused their main attention on the study, the crime scene, so there were relatively few other clues.

After Elius finished speaking, it was your turn to be ruthless.

As soon as he came on stage, he went straight to asking Langton a question.

"We found a letter in Professor Lan's room."

Because Golin needs to handle things in the live stream at any time, and Liang Jia is not a talkative person.

So the person in charge of speaking on stage for their group is "You're So Poisonous".

"This letter is actually a threatening letter."

Hello, Poison, put the letter on the table for everyone to read.

"The letter said that the Earl already knew Professor Lan's true identity and demanded that he cooperate with him in conducting secret research, otherwise he would reveal the truth to the public."

Another key piece of information has emerged.

"Secret research?"

Elius narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that this should be a very crucial clue.

“That’s right, I was threatened by the Earl.”

Now that the evidence is out, Landon has nothing left to hide.

"I impersonated my brother in order to investigate his disappearance. If the count exposes me, it will create many unnecessary obstacles for my investigation."

Langton's explanation was reasonable, and there was no further evidence pointing to him for the time being, so Youhaodu began to show everyone other clues.

[I have a question: If the real Professor Lan was kidnapped, wouldn't it cause problems if a fake Professor Lan appeared?]

[We need to find out why Professor Lan disappeared. It might not be a kidnapping; what if it was murder?]

Whether it's kidnapping or murder, when they see two identical Professor Lans, they'll definitely get suspicious, and they might give themselves away.

I think Professor Lan's explanation makes sense; he hasn't found any clues about his brother yet, so he doesn't want to be exposed.

While netizens' discussions were still focused on Professor Lan, Youhaodu had already turned its attention to Elius, who was standing to the side.

"Mr. Elijah, why did you bring a whole box of gold bars to the ball?"

Gold bars have always been a form of hard currency, regardless of the era.

A box of gold bars represents enormous wealth.

"I'm the richest man in the world, isn't it normal for me to carry a box of gold bars?"

Elius raised an eyebrow slightly, not finding it suspicious.

"Alright, if carrying gold bars is normal, then your transaction with the count is rather unusual, isn't it?"

You're so toxic, suddenly you come up with another clue.

The above shows that Ellie, the richest man in the country, and the Earl have a cooperative relationship, and their main cooperative project is the secret research mentioned earlier.

"So, what exactly is this secret research?"
