Chapter 420 Is the young lady the prime suspect?
Since the secret passage on the second floor connects the study and the count's master bedroom, and there are also staircases leading to the third floor and the first floor, there should also be hidden doors leading to other places.

"Okay, let's go take a look together."

Langton's proposal was unanimously approved.

If everyone's room could potentially lead to a secret passage, then the previous timeline would essentially be rendered useless.

Because they could go to the study unnoticed and assassinate the Earl.

"Let's go to the third floor first, then we can go out from the first floor later."

The third floor houses the rooms of the young lady, her guards, and her three fiancés.

Cedril and his group decided to go upstairs directly through the secret passage, as this would be the fastest way to find the hidden door.

"This is a secret door leading to my sister's room!"

During the initial search, Liang Jia, Nihaodu, and Golin were in charge of searching the third floor.

Liang Jia gritted her teeth and cursed the Earl, that pervert, as if she had truly put herself in the role of the young master.

Of course, the most important thing is to identify with the role of Miss Liang He's younger brother.

"I remember you said before that the reason you hired a personal bodyguard was because you were in a bad mental state and couldn't sleep all night?"

Elius recalled what Liang He had said during their first roundtable discussion.

If the young lady was actually aware of the existence of the secret door and felt that someone was spying on her, which is why she was so scared that she couldn't sleep, it seems plausible.

"It really is true. Could it be that the Earl is a pervert, secretly observing his own daughter?"

You're so toxic; you say whatever comes to mind without any regard for the fact that this is a live stream.

His speculation resonated with many netizens.

[Holy crap! If that's really true, that's insane! This is his own daughter!]

"The Earl truly deserves to die; the weight of that statement continues to grow."

[I think we should let the evidence speak for itself. Since the Earl is so wary and doesn't trust anyone, it seems reasonable for him to have a hidden door in the young lady's room. It doesn't necessarily mean he's doing anything bad.]

If other rooms also have hidden doors, it's probably just that the Earl didn't think too much about it and set them up uniformly for convenience.

The Earl must have known beforehand that the young lady had hired a personal bodyguard. If he had malicious intentions, he certainly wouldn't have agreed, would he?

Don't be so naive. While you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, you must also be wary of them!

Humans have a moral bottom line, but there may not be any beasts like the Count who would use other people's lives to prolong their own.

How could animals possibly understand normal human thought processes?

"Well... I was in a very bad mental state at that time. I always felt that someone was watching me when I was sleeping at night, but when I woke up, I didn't see anyone."

To be honest, the character of the young lady is quite different from Liang He herself.

If she were to encounter something like this, her first reaction would be to beat someone up. If she were to get really ruthless, she would resort to excessive self-defense and show absolutely no leniency!
"That makes sense."

Therefore, the reason why the young lady was so scared that she hired a personal bodyguard was because she was quite sensitive and realized that there was something wrong with this room.

"But if that's the case, isn't it possible that you might discover the existence of the secret passage?"

Li Xiao suddenly raised a question, and his guess was not without possibility.

"If I discovered the secret door, why would I need to hire guards?"

Faced with his questioning, Liang He calmly began to explain. "I just need to find a reason to seal this secret door. Even changing the layout of the room or using a cabinet door to block it would be fine. There is absolutely no need to hire a bodyguard."

The secret door exists so that the Earl can move between the rooms silently.

Assuming the door to the young lady's bedroom is blocked, the count cannot make a big commotion to push the cabinet open again.

"But this might make the Earl suspect that you already know about the secret passage, and he might become wary of you, or even have murderous intent towards you."

Judging from the count's character, he doesn't actually have much affection for his children; they are more like tools used to maintain his power.

The existence of the secret passage is of great importance to the Earl, especially since it is related to the secret research on consciousness transfer. If the young lady discovers the secret passage, wouldn't she sneak in to check it out?

If she goes in to investigate, she will discover the problem and even learn that her younger brother is about to become the target of the Earl's possession.

“My existence is to bring more benefits to the Earl through marriage. Killing me is not the best solution for the Earl.”

Moreover, since the Earl is trying to win over or threaten Professor Lan and others, it means that he has absolute control and confidence in his secret research.

Even if the young lady talks nonsense outside, who would believe her?
"If I really knew these things and told others, the first people to arrive would probably be psychiatrists."

The count's methods stemmed from his power and status. In his eyes, the young lady was like a caged bird, the kind that could never fly out of his grasp.

"I think what my sister said makes sense."

Liang Jia, a super sister-obsessed and blindly protective sister, was the first to stand up and support Liang He.

However, others still harbored some degree of skepticism.

"Perhaps you intentionally lied about this to clear yourself of suspicion?"

Li Xiao still found it strange.

"If you knew about the existence of the secret door, but deliberately pretended not to know, and then used the secret door to kill the Earl, that would be quite reasonable, wouldn't it?"

Otherwise, it would be too strange that the young lady had no possibility of contacting the count from beginning to end and was completely excluded from suspicion.

"Yes! And there were several periods when you were separated from your guards."

When reviewing the timeline earlier, Leila, as the bodyguard, mentioned that during the two-hour lunch break, they rested separately in the inner and outer rooms.

Between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. is the time for the young lady to put on makeup and change clothes for the ball.

“I remember the guards went to see the steward between 4:10 and 4:40 pm. You have half an hour to move around freely.”

Goring also began analyzing the young lady's timeline, clearly having done his homework.

"No, it should be 4:35, because while the young lady was waiting for the guards to return, she met General Lille, and they chatted for five minutes."

In other words, the young lady had twenty-five minutes to use the secret passage to go to the Earl's study and poison him.

"But wasn't the Earl discussing something with Professor Lan in his study at this time?"

Cedril wanted to find evidence that Liang He was not the murderer, so he helped analyze the timeline.

"I met the Earl in the study at 4:10, and I left the study at 4:20, so there was still time."

Although Landon also wanted to defend Liang He, judging from the timeline, she was indeed a prime suspect.

"The doctor arrived at the study at 4:30, which means that the young lady only had ten minutes, from 4:20 to 4:30, to poison the Earl."

Faced with everyone's analysis and accusations, Liang He raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled.

"As far as I know, the Earl seems to never leave his study. Even in this ten-minute gap, how can I appear through the secret passage in front of him and poison him?"
