Chapter 423 The Unexpected Combination of Culprits

While the three groups of suspects were discussing the matter, netizens had already taken advantage of the opportunity to flood the official website of the Skalan Planet Reserve with comments.

However, since each person only has one chance, and some people are too impatient and have only voted for one suspect before, it is obviously not acceptable.

So netizens called on their friends and family, and flocked to the site, almost causing the official website to crash.

Hurry! Announce the results quickly! I'm really curious to know who the murderer is!

[We haven't found the crucial evidence, we're relying entirely on deduction. It's reasonable to suspect the organizers deliberately increased the difficulty to prevent us from winning the grand prize! (doge)]

I just watched their voting process, and it seems more people chose the doctor and Professor Lan?

I don’t know if it was because of Liang He’s final speech that it felt like a wake-up call, which led many people to vote for the combination of You Ni Du and Landon.

"The voting results have just been tallied. In the end, who colluded with the doctor to murder the Earl?"

Of the three groups of suspects, doctors made up two groups, while the statements of the young lady and young master made them relatively less suspicious.

Based on their character portrayals, the siblings, who share a deep bond, are indeed the kind of people who would rather fall into the abyss themselves than drag the other down with them.

"It's all over, you really made the wrong choice!"

You're so ruthless, the only one who's certain she's not the real culprit. Hearing Li Xiao's words, she was completely taken aback.

He was probably the only one present who voted for the young lady and the young master.

[Holy crap... no way? Could there really be a mistake?]

Is the doctor still desperately trying to save the day? Tell me quickly, is he really the culprit?!

[If the doctor really isn't one of the murderers... oh my god, I suddenly don't want to think about it.]

[No way, could the murderer really be the young lady and young master?]

[Is this a fake version of Zun Du? No way!!! My grand prize!]

The doctor's reaction made netizens a little uneasy, since many netizens followed their line of thinking and voted for the combination with the doctor.

"In the end, the combination with the most votes was—the doctor and the professor!"

The combination of doctor and housekeeper has three votes.

The doctor and professor received five votes, but what surprised Li Xiao the most was that one vote was cast for a combination that had never appeared before.

"So, are the doctor and the professor the real culprits?"

Li Xiao deliberately dragged out the last syllable, keeping everyone in suspense. If it weren't for the screen separating them, netizens would have wanted to grab his arms and shake him frantically, urging him to announce the result quickly.

"Congratulations everyone! The culprit has been identified—"

"fail!"

In the end, they still let the real culprit escape.

Even Li Xiao himself almost lost his composure when he received the final result.

It's over...it's completely over!

[Haha! I didn't apply to the doctor! I still have a chance!]

The exciting moment has arrived!!!

Although most netizens were misled by the secondary discussion, some clear-headed netizens or those who trusted their intuition more chose other combinations.

"Alright, now I will announce the real culprit in this case."

To prevent leaks of the exam questions, even the staff, apart from the real culprit, did not know who the Earl's killer was.

Finally, it was Li Xiao's friend who sent him the results directly.

Upon seeing the result, Li Xiao's pupils constricted slightly in shock, clearly indicating that he was very surprised.

"Ahem... The real culprit in this case is—"

The live stream camera panned across the nine suspects, allowing viewers to observe their expressions up close. "Let's congratulate the young lady and lady!"

???

Who are you talking about?!

Did I hear that right? He just asked who the real culprit was?!

【Good, good, good! We were all fooled by the young lady! It was her last sentence that made me doubt the doctor and professor!】

[The young lady and the countess?! Are you sure there's no mistake? How could the two of them possibly team up?!]

Neither those present nor netizens could believe the result announced by Li Xiao.

It wasn't until Liang He took Evelyn's hand and smiled as she took a step forward that they had to accept the fact.

"I'm sorry, I lied to everyone."

Liang He was playing a murder mystery game for the first time, but she didn't expect to get the murderer's script.

Adhering to the principle of saying less to avoid making mistakes, she rarely spoke, fortunately with the furry friends covering for her in the early stages.

Later, everyone's attention was focused on the secret passage and various analyses. She pointed at the doctor and professor at the end, but no one noticed.

"No, how could it be the two of you?!"

You're so disgusted. You never expected that Liang He would use you as a scapegoat.

However, he always thought it was Liang He and Liang Jia working together, but he never expected it to be Evelyn.

"The truth is quite simple: I do know that the Earl is planning to harm my brother."

Just as everyone initially guessed, in order to protect her younger brother from being replaced by the count, she, as the older sister, chose to kill her father.

"Then why did you and the Countess join forces?"

Logically speaking, the relationship between the young lady and the countess shouldn't be so good that they would join forces to kill each other, right?
Moreover, the Countess herself said that it would be of no benefit to her if the young master inherited the title of Earl after his death.

"Because I don't want my child to become the target of the Earl's possession in the future."

The key information the Countess concealed was that she was pregnant.

When she learned that the count was willing to kill even his own son to survive, she not only dared not tell him about her pregnancy, but also began to plan how to protect her two children.

"You yourselves have said that consciousness transfer is tantamount to immortality. As the young master grows older and his health deteriorates, who can guarantee that he won't harm my child again?"

Moreover, whether the count died or possessed the young master, for the lady, it was essentially the death of her husband.

In that case, why doesn't she nip the danger in the bud?

"That seems... to make some sense."

You, who were successfully persuaded, sighed in frustration, clearly still unwilling to accept the fact that you had been led astray.

"We were so confident before that we had ruled out the Countess, you must be laughing at us behind our backs, right?"

No one expected that the Countess, who was first cleared of suspicion, was one of the real culprits.

However, upon closer reflection, the young lady is actually the more suspicious one. If we were to assign someone with a strong intent to kill, it would seem too easy for them to be caught.

"No, it was mainly Liang He who was playing with me, otherwise I would have given myself away long ago."

Evelyn was also playing a murder mystery game for the first time. If Liang He hadn't blocked everyone's suspicions, Evelyn wouldn't have been able to escape successfully.

"However, I should have escaped with zero votes, right?"

Evelyn looked at Li Xiao with some anticipation. If she really did escape with zero votes, then she could be proud in front of Bei Bei for a long time!
Li Xiao, who was being stared at, raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed a smile that was hard to decipher.

No, that's not it.

Actually, there was one person who guessed the real culprit.
