The chef took a while to react. He turned around and saw her as if he had seen the savior. He quickly dropped the knife and walked over quickly and said, "This, this wasn't done by me. I didn't know!"

Ye Qingran took a few steps back and stood with Chu Qingyun.

Although the chef really didn't know what was going on, his hands and body were covered in blood, and even his hands on the chopping board were cut to pieces. It was unbelievable to say that all of this had nothing to do with him.

The chef seemed to be scared crazy. Such a tall man was trembling against the wall. After he saw the man who was hacked to death on the ground and the man who was shouting on the ground with a broken arm, he was frightened. Fainted.

"What exactly is going on……"

Ye Qingran's brows were furrowed, his heart was beating fast, and he was so tense that he didn't dare to relax.

She hadn't seen such a bloody scene for a long time, and this time she couldn't be sure if it was related to her. If it was, then the sins on her body would not be cleansed.

"These meals have been drugged. Didn't you say that being poisoned will make people lose their senses? I think they are like this now. No, it's not just that they have lost their senses, it's more like they have lost their minds and become... Became a zombie."

Ye Qingran walked around them and walked into the kitchen. After looking around, he didn't see anything strange.

She pointed to the dough on one side and said: "The chef must have had a hallucination when he was delirious. He mistook human meat for pork and was preparing to make steamed buns. He probably didn't take any medicine, maybe he just tasted the food, so now he Wake up."

She pursed her lips and couldn't bear it, "When I woke up, I found that I had killed someone and made human flesh into buns, that's why I was so scared."

"I have never seen such poison before. Would Prime Minister Wang really spend so much effort just to kill us?" Chu Qingyun was a little confused.

Ye Qingran shook his head: "I don't know. I'm not even sure if the other party is coming for us. At first, I also suspected that it was Prime Minister Wang, but now it's too weird and I can't make a conclusion yet."

She walked around the inn, weighing how much antidote she had, and finally decided not to give it to them yet.

First of all, there were too many people poisoned and the antidote was not enough. Secondly, after they woke up, she couldn't explain their current situation clearly. It was better to let them stay in this state for now. As long as they didn't attack people randomly, it didn't matter.

"I think this drug is trickier than we thought."

She sighed, "If the chef was simply unconscious due to poisoning, he should be in a daze like everyone else, rather than stabbing people with a knife based on hallucinations."

"You mean, the poisoned person will still obey the poisoner's instructions to do things? But why would the poisoner hurt these ordinary diners? Is it to frame us?"

"It's hard to say, maybe it's to kill us and prevent us from escaping. But now that the poisoner has escaped, these people have no instructions, so they don't move."

She knelt down and prepared to briefly bandage the person who had broken his arm. "We can't confirm anything yet. We need some time to investigate the clues."

After she took care of the man's wounds, she turned around and went back to look for Ye Zhuoyu and the others.

They also heard what she said, and Ms. Jiang was a little scared: "Ran'er, shouldn't we avoid this kind of thing? Maybe the person who poisoned her didn't come for us at all?"

"I know this is very troublesome, but the murderer came to our room to look for us alone. It is difficult to prove that his target was not us. If it is as I suspected, then these people who died and were in hand were also dragged down by us. Yes, how can you ignore it?"

“But now we can’t protect ourselves, how should we deal with these things?”

Ye Qingran comforted him: "Mom, don't worry too much. At least we now know the basic strength of that person. If we look at it purely in terms of force, he can't beat us. Even if it's poison, as long as we take precautions in advance, I'm confident." Make it impossible for him to start."

After she finished speaking, she calmed down a little and prepared to go out, "If such a big thing happens, we should report it to the official first. It is unlikely that under such circumstances, the county magistrate here will investigate our identity and leave. Bar."

They went all the way to the county government office. This county government office was much more impressive than the previous county magistrate's government office. At first glance, there was no shortage of money to be made.

They beat drums and chanted gold, but found that the person coming out looked very familiar.

That person was the middle-aged man who checked out of the inn before. He didn't know why he was at the county government office at this time.

"You want to report it to the police? What happened?"

"There has been a murder in the inn, and we are here to report it to the police." Ye Qingran looked calm.

When the man heard about this, he frowned slightly, but didn't ask any more questions: "You guys wait here for a while, I will inform the prefect."

"Master Magistrate?" Ye Qingran was stunned.

Before she could ask, the man had already gone in and came out after a while to let them in to talk.

Originally they were still wondering whether the prefect was the one they knew, but now they went in and took a look, and by coincidence, he was an acquaintance.

"Ye Da...Brother Ye, why is it you?"

The prefect had no time to reminisce and continued to ask, "Why did you say there was a murder in the inn? I just came out of the inn less than an hour ago, how could such a thing happen?"

"So the person who booked the inn is the prefect? ​​Has he ever eaten the food in the inn?" Ye Qingran was a little surprised.

The magistrate shook his head: "No, the county magistrate invited me to come to the county government office for dinner and sent someone to invite me over."

"The food in the inn has been poisoned. The poisoned person will become unconscious and obey the poisoner's instructions. Unfortunately, we failed to catch the poisoner and let him run away. The chef of the inn is unconscious. Under the circumstances, I followed the murderer's order, killed several people, and wounded one. I took care of it briefly and then reported it to the official."

After hearing what she said, the prefect looked solemn: "Quick, come quickly, seal off the inn, and take Fu Zuo with me to see the situation."

The county magistrate followed the order and sent many people to the inn. He also issued a separate document asking people in the county not to go out at night, and arranged for non-stop night patrols. Then he hurried to the inn with a group of people.

The common people had long heard about the tragic situation in the inn and gathered around to watch, but were driven away by the officers and soldiers who arrived.

Some people were scared and kept asking about the situation. The county magistrate said impatiently: "It's all gone, don't ask anymore. If you are scared, go home quickly and stop wandering outside. The prefect is here and nothing will happen to everyone." ."

After saying this, the people went home and closed their doors and windows, and the streets suddenly became deserted.
