Chapter 392 Accidental Fall into the Sea, Secret Research?
As the future heir of the Earl, the young master should logically be given more attention.

Strangely, the young master, who should have lived on the second or third floor, was assigned a room on the first floor, which was quite surprising.

"My father just felt that I should shoulder the responsibilities and burdens of the family in the future, so he hoped that I would not indulge in pleasure."

Liang Jia spoke these words without any emotion, making it impossible for anyone to tell whether they were true or false.

"Moreover, I need to get up early every day to participate in various training sessions, so living on the first floor is more convenient."

Going up and down the stairs doesn't require passing through other people's rooms, so it won't disturb their rest.

The two reasons Liang Jia gave are indeed acceptable.

"Okay, next up is a clue about the butler."

So far, only the clues about the housekeeper and the doctor have not yet emerged.

However, some people are still not clear about the motive for killing.

"The butler's father was also the butler of the castle. You are following in your father's footsteps, aren't you?"

The butler played by Göring is at most in his thirties or forties, but the count is already in his forties or almost fifty, which means that there must have been a butler before him.

Similar to the hereditary system for earls, the system for butlers is also based on inheritance.

This reminded Liang He of the household slaves in ancient times on Earth.

"Yes, I took over the job of housekeeper from my father."

Göring saw no problem with this and readily admitted it.

"I have a death report here for your father. It appears he died accidentally?"

Li Xiao placed the death report of the housekeeper's father on the table and asked everyone to take a look.

The above shows that the butler's father died by accident when he fell into the sea, and by the time he was found by a ship at sea, he had already become a giant.

"Yes, I wasn't in the castle at the time. By the time I returned, my father had already been buried."

All that reached the housekeeper was a death report.

"So what I want to ask is, do you suspect that your father's death is related to the Earl?"

Li Xiao presented the communication records showing that the butler had commissioned a detective agency to investigate his father's death.

The dialogue between the detective and the butler, as shown above, is as follows:

The housekeeper suspected that his father's death was not an accident, but rather a deliberate act.

The detective's investigation revealed that the butler's father had a dispute with the count and soon after, he accidentally fell into the sea and died.

"Yes, because my father was actually a very good swimmer. His drowning was suspicious in itself, and it wasn't directed at the Earl."

A man with excellent swimming skills fell into the sea and died. Moreover, the butler did not find his father's body. When he returned to the castle, only his ashes remained.

Therefore, it's normal for him to have some doubts.

"So, what did you find out?"

This is what everyone is most curious about.

If the Earl truly caused the butler's father's death, then this is a major threat.

"The detective's reply is all there; he didn't tell me that my father's death was directly related to the Earl."

Goring pursed his lips helplessly, indicating that he had no motive to kill the Count at the moment.

He will not admit it until concrete evidence emerges.

Oh my god... this is getting more and more complicated, my head is spinning.

[But if the butler truly harbored such murderous intent towards the Earl, wouldn't the Earl have sensed it? If he had, how could he have allowed the butler to approach or eat the food he brought?] [Right now, it's all just speculation; there's no substantial evidence. Furthermore, the butler went to the study to report to the Earl at four o'clock, and the testimonies of others all indicate that the Earl was still alive after that.]

[That makes the butler much less suspicious, since he was busy with the ball afterwards.]

The investigation into the butler's situation needs to continue. Only when the chain of evidence is complete and proves that the butler knew the Earl murdered his father can the murder be considered a valid motive.

"Finally, there's the doctor's area. Wow, we found quite a few good things there."

Li Xiao and Hao Ni Du are both from Blue Star, so their relationship is naturally closer than with others, which makes him feel more comfortable joking around with them.

"First, we found the 'coma' medication in the doctors' area."

At the very beginning of the roundtable discussion, the autopsy report sent by the forensic doctor showed that the Count had a drug in his system that could induce unconsciousness.

Therefore, Li Xiao's team's discovery of the 'coma-inducing drug' is extremely important.

"I'm a doctor, isn't it normal for me to have medicine?"

The "coma-inducing" drug is not an ordinary sedative. Depending on the dosage, it can be used as a sleeping pill or a sedative.

"Then what about the chat logs between you and the Earl?"

Hello Poison posted several screenshots of chat logs, all of which mentioned a key piece of information: secret research.

Furthermore, there were large transactions between the doctor and the count.

"These ledgers record the amount of gold bars the Earl gave you. Did you engage in any illegal transactions?"

More precisely, did the count instruct the doctor to conduct illegal research?

This is the issue that everyone is concerned about.

"All I can say is that I had no choice."

You're so toxic. He shrugged helplessly, knowing he wouldn't say another word until he had concrete evidence.

Fortunately, although Li Xiao did not find any more evidence, Liang He gained a lot.

“I happen to have some evidence here that proves you had an illegal transaction with the Earl, and that it was used for illegal research.”

The evidence was found in the garden, which means that anyone could have seen it, potentially triggering a murderous intent.

This evidence suggests that the doctor, under the Count's instructions, was investigating the possibility of consciousness transference.

[Holy crap?! Consciousness transfer? Is that what I'm thinking?]

[The real climax has finally arrived, this is the key part of the script, isn't it?! So the Earl never intended to die in the first place?]

If the Earl is not willing to die, then it means that among the nine suspects, there is someone he wants to transfer.

[An even more terrifying thought: what if the Earl has already successfully moved? Does that mean the person who died wasn't the Earl, but someone else present?]

[Oh my god! This is terrifying to think about. What on earth is going on?]

For some reason, I suddenly have a feeling that the roundtable discussion is coming to an end...

Isn't this the usual formula for TV dramas? They cut to commercials at crucial moments, or say they'll reveal the answer next time.

Since there won't be any live streams during the evening when everyone is resting, the mystery that netizens are speculating about can only be solved by the second search and discussion tomorrow.

but--!
"Cough... How did you manage to find this information, which was so well hidden? Are you using a cheat code?"

You're so sullen, pouting. Don't think he didn't see Liang He ordering the furry creatures around to help her find clues!

He had thought he could hold on a little longer.

"Alright, alright, since you've brought up all the evidence, I'll tell you the whole story."

Sorry, my darlings, due to unforeseen circumstances, I can only post one chapter today. This is the first time I've taken a break in over six months. Please forgive me, my darlings. Love you all!
