We have all the space treasury in hand, so mere exile is nothing.

At this time, the poisoned people in the inn had already woken up. The prefect first called the waiter and the chef to question them, but after questioning for a long time, nothing came out. He only said that he didn't know, and he didn't know anything.

The prefect had a headache, so he turned to ask: "Where is your shopkeeper?"

"Sir, the shopkeeper went out to a nearby town and hasn't come back yet..." the waiter replied tremblingly.

At this time, the chef was crying with snot and tears, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered from the fact of murder.

"Someone, go and bring their shopkeeper back. The sooner the better."

"Yes."

The people under his command acted quickly and brought the shopkeeper in less than an hour.

As soon as he came back and saw such a big battle, he was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt down and said, "Sir, I don't know what the situation is!"

"Someone poisoned the food in your inn, did you know?"

"Poisoning? I don't know, sir! I've been running an inn here for many years, and nothing like this has ever happened before. Please be careful!"

Looking at him like this, he doesn't even know what happened, let alone lie.

After the prefect asked a few more questions, the waiter and the chef also said that the matter had nothing to do with the shopkeeper, so they could no longer ask.

At present, the results of the autopsy have not yet come out, and no clues can be found, so these people can only be detained for interrogation.

Ye Qingran's family has been invited to stay in the county government office these days. Although the county government office is safe, the county town is not peaceful.

In the past few days, people in the city were killed one after another. The death was very miserable, and almost no whole bodies were left. Because of this matter, the prefect could not close his eyes all night and turned blue with worry. It was only after Ye Qingran specially prepared the requiem that things got better.

"Sir, don't worry too much. Although no other clues can be found at the moment, we had an encounter with the murderer that day. When he escaped, I left traces on him. It should be effective in the next few days."

"Are you serious?" The prefect's eyes lit up, as if the gray fog in front of his eyes had finally dissipated.

"Of course I take it seriously."

The county magistrate listened with great disdain: "How can you catch the murderer in one session of female prostitutes? I have so many people in the county government who have been busy for so many days. Isn't it worth your words?"

Ye Qingran just glanced at him and didn't answer him. He just said to the prefect, "Master prefect, are you willing to believe me?"

Feeling that he was being ignored, the county magistrate became a little angry and said, "What am I asking you? How dare you not answer?"

The prefect glanced at him, but did not stop him. Instead, he watched with interest, as if to see Ye Qingran's courage.

Ye Qingran understood what he meant and was not annoyed. He took two steps forward and responded: "If the county magistrate is more capable than me, a prostitute like me, why can't he catch the murderer? If the county magistrate doesn't have this ability, how can he catch the murderer?" Why don't you let me, a little girl, have a try? Don't you want to solve the case? "

She pretended to be enlightened, "Oh, I understand. Your Excellency is both incompetent and worried about being robbed of your credit. For this merit, you even risked the lives of the people. What a good official!"

"You little girl, you actually insulted me. Come here! Take him down and beat him up forty times!"

The county magistrate became furious and wanted to be executed without any explanation.

Ye Qingran said with a smile: "What are you doing, the county magistrate? The prefect is here. Doesn't it mean that you don't take the prefect in your eyes?"

"you!"

Before the county magistrate finished speaking, the prefect interrupted him: "Okay, now is not the time to argue about this. Since there is a way to find the murderer, why not give it a try?"

He looked at Ye Qingran with approval in his eyes and said, "Girl, since you have spoken out, I will leave the matter to you. If no one can be found, you will also be punished."

Although this punishment sounded a bit joking, Ye Qingran also understood the accusation, so he put away his ramblings and replied seriously: "I understand, please don't worry, sir."

Now that the prefect had spoken, the county magistrate did not dare to say anything more. He just glared at Ye Qingran secretly and then stepped aside.

"If we just want to investigate, there are many people in this county and it needs to be carried out in an orderly manner. The workload will be larger. I hope the county magistrate can send more manpower."

She looked at the county magistrate and said, "Also, the investigation must start from the county government office. Only after all the people in the government office have been investigated can we safely inspect the people."

"What? What do you mean?"

The magistrate opened his eyes wide, pointed at her nose and said, "I originally gave you a chance for the sake of the prefect, but you actually provoked me?"

Ye Qingran was puzzled: "It's just a routine investigation, how can it be called a provocation?"

"All the people in this county government are my cronies. If you don't trust them, you don't trust me. We need to start the investigation from my county government. Isn't this a provocation? Your Majesty, this woman is simply unreasonable. I think this The matter must not be left to her to handle things like this."

He handed over to the magistrate, hoping that the magistrate would speak out for him.

Ye Qingran raised his hand and pointed to the person next to him, and asked: "Since your Excellency said that he is a confidant, let me ask you, Your Majesty, who is this person's name, where is he from, what is his ability, and what achievements has he made?"

The county magistrate followed her direction and saw the policeman. Apart from his name, he didn't know anything else.

Before he could quibble, Ye Qingran spoke again: "If you don't know, how can you be considered a confidant? Even if your definition of confidant is not so strict, you should at least understand his details, so that you can avoid investigation, right?"

She bowed to the magistrate, "Sir, I think that the safety of the people can only be ensured after the county government investigates first. If the murderer is not mixed in, wouldn't it mean that the lives of the people are in the hands of the murderer? ? Not only that, even the safety of the county government is in their hands. If the murderer sneaks in, your life may not be guaranteed!"

What she said made sense, and the prefect nodded repeatedly, but the county magistrate still refused to give in: "If I, the people in the county government, have no problems, what will you do?"

"No matter what, this is how it should be. If there is no problem, then everyone will be happy. Does the county magistrate want the murderer to be in the county government?"

She was stunned by what she said to the county magistrate, then lowered her head and stopped making any sound.

At this time, the county magistrate only felt that he had been humiliated by a little girl, and she was still unable to speak, and he was very aggrieved.

Seeing that he had shut up, Ye Qingran stopped pursuing it. After all, time was tight now and there was no need to spend energy on such a place.

"Then we'll start the investigation from the county government office. How do we check the powder you mentioned?"
