"First, judging from the contents of the suicide note, the professor had clearly made some controversial remarks in public."

"Secondly, since the suicide note was forged by the murderer, these remarks were likely the cause of the professor's death, which led to the murderer needing to use his name to erase the negative impact of his previous remarks."

"Since it was published in public and has a serious adverse impact, the biggest possibility is..."

"In the newspaper?" Mia asked.

"That's right." Mi'er said.

So the two girls started looking for newspapers again. Unfortunately, although there were many books in the professor's study, there were no newspapers.

"How come?"

"Could it be that..."

"This professor..."

“He doesn’t read the newspaper!”

"Speaking of which, paper media is also quite troublesome," Mier said. "After reading it, you have to throw it away, otherwise it will take up space."

"You mean, he uses electronic media?" Mia said thoughtfully.

After changing her search target from newspapers to display screens, Mia finally found a Pad from the drawer.

"I need the password." Mia said.

"Try fingerprint unlocking." Mier raised the index finger of the corpse's left hand and pressed it on the button of the Pad, and it successfully unlocked the device.

"Well, you don't have to bother looking for it. The professor has collected all his opinions from relevant newspapers and magazines." Mia said with a smile, opened the personal collection folder named "Publish", clicked on the document and started reading:

"… The most serious problem is the monopoly of the market segments by the giant trusts. Due to the application of the Matthew effect in the economic market, the strong take all is still effective. However, it cannot be ignored that it is the uncompetitive small and medium-sized enterprises that provide more than 80% of employment in the Italian Peninsula. If the giant trusts are allowed to recklessly acquire or merge the assets of small and medium-sized enterprises, it will inevitably lead to a significant shrinkage of the labor market and a rise in the unemployment rate."

"Why can I recognize every word here, but I can't understand it when it's put together?" Mia was confused and bewildered. "Mi'er, can you understand it?"

"Hmm." Mi'er didn't answer, but just used her finger to slide the screen and slid the page down:

"…Currently, the Licinius family has completely monopolized the high-precision manufacturing industry and is trying to expand and control the upstream and downstream industries. Its upstream industries are many parts suppliers, and its acquisition plans in this direction have almost no competitors. Its downstream industries are numerous market channels and distribution agents, which are bound to cause conflicts with the Medici family."

"As an old financial giant, the Medici family has always been committed to controlling the circulation of goods in the market. Its purpose is to realize Giovanni's ideal financial concept of 'everything is a position', so that all spot goods can be perfectly converted into options or futures. However, the Licinius family's rapid progress in the circulation market has aroused strong vigilance and hostility from the Medici."

"The Trust War in 239 of the Sixth Era was undoubtedly caused by the fierce conflict between the two giants. The Licinius family acquired 827 small and medium-sized enterprises in one month, and was denounced by the Medici family as 'barbarians in the capital market', and launched an all-round battle to defend their assets."
