Chapter 424: The Murder Mystery Game Concludes Successfully! A Mysterious Invitation
Because Liang He and Evelyn worked together so well, and because Liang He pointed out at the end that there might be a relationship between the doctor and the professor, most people were led astray.
However, not everyone noticed the problem and began to look at her with suspicion.
"Out of the ten of us, one person voted for your pairing with the young lady."
Li Xiao was surprised when he saw the poll.
Little did I expect that this single vote would reveal the truth.
"Huh? Who is it?"
Evelyn thought they had successfully deceived everyone, but she never expected that they would still be exposed.
"it's me."
Landon, who had been silently watching Liang He and Evelyn enjoy their victory, suddenly spoke up.
"Actually, I just took a gamble and went to search the terrace that the Countess had visited during the final vote."
Because Liang He suspected a connection between the doctor and the professor, she linked him to Nihaodu.
Knowing full well that he couldn't possibly be one of the real culprits, Langton keenly sensed the problem.
"The Countess once said that she saw me and the young lady taking a walk in the garden between two and three o'clock in the afternoon while having afternoon tea on the third floor."
However, Langton later discovered that the Countess's tea-drinking position did not allow her to see them clearly.
In other words, the Countess was standing at an extremely awkward angle when she happened to see them passing by.
“I tried to reconstruct the Countess’s perspective at the time, and then found the notes they used to communicate in a hidden location.”
To prevent the count from discovering their plans, the young lady and the countess outwardly maintained a casual relationship.
But in reality, the final plan was determined through this method of passing notes.
"I see."
Li Xiao nodded knowingly. They had actually searched the place where the Countess had afternoon tea before, but subconsciously they had focused on the interior.
"I'm curious, how did you all conspire to murder the Earl?"
This is probably something that netizens are very curious about.
"I actually discovered the secret passage; you've probably all guessed that."
The young lady's initial unease did indeed stem from the eerie atmosphere she felt in the middle of the night.
"I followed the secret door to the research lab and saw the consciousness transfer plan, which made me realize that they were going to harm my brother."
The young lady, who hadn't made a fuss, returned to her room and began to think about her next plan.
Thus, Lyra, who was ostensibly a bodyguard but was actually a thief, entered the castle without any apparent difficulty.
"When I unexpectedly discovered that the Countess was pregnant, I wrote her an anonymous letter."
The young lady knew very well that she could not complete the murder plan by herself, so she began to look for partners.
Although the Countess was her stepmother, their relationship was actually not bad.
After all, she wasn't a mistress who rose to power, and over the years, they've all lived together peacefully.
“When I received the anonymous letter and learned of the Earl’s plans, I was terrified that one day he would target my children.”
Therefore, after realizing that the Earl's days were numbered, the Countess made up her mind to join the young lady's murder plot.
"So how did you cooperate?" Judging from the timeline, no one could testify that the Countess had time between 3 and 4 p.m., and the young lady only had 25 minutes of free time starting at 4:10 p.m.
However, according to the timelines given by others, the Earl was only alone from 3:00 to 3:30, 4:00 to 4:10, and 4:20 to 4:30, so they were not lying.
"It's actually very simple. Around 3 p.m., I brought the Earl afternoon tea and snacks, and ate some of them in front of him."
The count was a very cautious man. Over the years, he had developed the habit that he would only eat food if someone else had tried it first.
Therefore, the Countess's behavior did not arouse the Count's suspicion, but instead distracted him.
"But he didn't expect that the poison wasn't put in the food at all, but was secretly smeared on his pen."
The count had two habits. One was that he would start reading and reviewing the day's newspapers at four o'clock sharp in the afternoon.
Another bad habit he has is that he unconsciously bites his pen when he's thinking.
"As his closest person, I naturally know about this habit of his."
Therefore, the Count successfully ingested the poison between 4:00 and 4:10.
"After the Count is poisoned, what I need to do is erase all traces of the Countess's presence."
The afternoon tea and snacks are all non-toxic, so there's no need to worry about them being checked.
The young lady's main task was to wipe away the poison from the pen and the count's saliva to cover up their method of poisoning.
"I must lure the Earl away and sneak into his study within the limited time I have."
Fortunately, the existence of the secret passage made the young lady's movements more discreet and convenient.
“I timed it perfectly and hid in the secret passage. I happened to overhear the heated conversation between the Earl and Professor Lan. After Professor Lan left, the Earl went to the research lab to find the doctor, but the doctor was not there.”
She had originally planned to have the Countess find a way to distract the Count, but instead, she went along with it, and the Countess completely disappeared.
Taking advantage of this brief window of opportunity, the young lady quickly wiped away the poison and saliva from the pen and hid back in the secret passage.
"When the Earl returned to his study and had the doctor summoned, I made sure there was no one else in the secret passage, and immediately slipped back to my room."
Having successfully returned to her room, the young lady deliberately left her bedroom early, pretending to look for a guard, but she bumped into General Lille.
"So, once you've covered up all the evidence, all you need to do is wait for the Earl to be poisoned."
Through the reconstruction of Liang He and Evelyn's cases, everyone finally understood the truth of the matter.
Other players were convinced of this, while netizens left with regret.
Of course, it wasn't that no one guessed the real culprit.
[Haha, based on my years of experience with murder mystery games, I knew something was off as soon as I heard the focus shift to Professor Lan, and I was right!]
[It must be said that the young lady actually came up with a brilliant move. Her conjecture was completely unfounded, but because she was already being watched, she didn't care, since her accomplices hadn't been caught yet.]
[But at the time, I genuinely thought she made a good point. Without crucial evidence, it's all just guesswork; she was just bolder and more persuasive.]
The combination of a stepmother and a young lady, in particular, broke people's conventional understanding and was a surprising success.
"Alright, I hereby declare this murder mystery game a complete success! See you next time, dear audience!"
Goring, as the 'chief planner,' announced the end of the murder mystery game and then closed the live stream. As for the subsequent prize redemption, staff members will handle it.
"Oh, right, Liang He, I have an invitation here, especially for you~ It's also our next destination!"
