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

"intuition?"

Chu Qingyun raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange, but he didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

When they arrived at the inn, Ye Zhuoyu, Ye Guodong and Jiang were already waiting inside.

"Why are uncle, aunt, and Brother Ye at the inn? Did you ask them to come?" Chu Qingyun was a little surprised.

Ye Qingran nodded: "Yes, we will stay at the inn to rest later."

"The murderer hasn't been caught yet, why don't you rest in the county government office?"

"Because we just have to wait for the murderer to come out on his own, otherwise we will never be able to catch him."

Compared to Chu Qingyun's worries, Ye Qingran seemed much calmer. She did not hesitate at all. After greeting her family, she led Chu Qingyun inside and returned to the kitchen.

There is nothing left to explore in the current kitchen, and many things have even been put away because they will rot.

She took out some white medicinal powder from her arms and sprinkled it directly from the kitchen floor to almost the entire first floor of the inn. The powder extended all the way to the room on the second floor and stopped when it reached the room they were going to live in.

After she finished her work, she reminded others: "Try not to step on the powder on the ground. If you want to go out, just use the back door. Do you understand?"

"Ran'er, isn't this too dangerous? If the assassin comes again, even if we are prepared, there will be unavoidable mishaps."

Chu Qingyun was a little worried, "That's all we can do, but my uncle and aunt are still here."

Ye Qingran did not raise his head and began to rearrange things in the room: "It doesn't matter, I have my own arrangements. I'm just worried that he won't dare to come out."

"How can you be sure that the murderer will definitely come?" Ye Zhuoyu was a little curious.

"Because he poisoned everyone in the kitchen and came to us alone after he poisoned everyone."

Ye Qingran stretched out his hand and gestured, "If his target is us, then there is no need to say more. If his target is not us, then why is he indifferent to other people and insists on going upstairs to find us? I think he must He has his reasons."

"So now you can be sure that Prime Minister Wang is up to something?"

"No, I can't be sure. I even think that this matter has nothing to do with Prime Minister Wang." Ye Qingran shook his head.

Chu Qingyun thought for a while: "Then... could it be other enemies?"

They helped Ye Qingran move all the tables, chairs and other things in the room, making the room a little emptyer.

After doing this, Ye Qingran replied: "We don't have that many enemies. Maybe the murderer just thinks there is something special about us. I don't know yet. Once we catch him, we will know everything."

After finishing their work, they assigned the rooms where they would rest at night.

Mrs. Jiang worriedly asked: "Ran'er, if the real purpose of this murderer is not us, then wouldn't we be asking for trouble by taking care of this matter? Although our family has a relationship with the prefect, that does not mean that the prefect will He favors us unconditionally, he is an official after all.”

Ye Qingran nodded: "I understand that the prefect has his own agenda. Moreover, the more fair and honest an official is, the more he puts the lives of the people first. And we are not the people within his jurisdiction, or even just a few. A sinner is not within the scope of his thinking."

"Since you understand, why do you have to take all this matter on yourself? If you do this, wouldn't you be used as a weapon by the government?"

"Mom, I understand. But even if we don't care about this matter, in their hearts, can we really get rid of the relationship completely?"

Ye Qingran sat next to her and explained softly, "Mom, don't you understand? Everyone in the inn has been poisoned, but we were the only ones who came out awake to report to the police. We can't explain this alone. It’s clear, let alone my deodorant and its antidote. It’s just because we are old acquaintances with the prefect, so they didn’t ask any more questions.”

Mrs. Jiang stopped talking.

"If you think about it carefully, whenever they ask, we are the biggest suspects. So only after we catch the murderer in person can we be cleared of suspicion, and by the way, we can also sell them favors."

After Ye Qingran finished speaking, Ms. Jiang nodded: "That's true, but are you really sure?"

"Be careful, mother, I have my own plan."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Jiang felt a lot more relieved.

At night, when all the lights in the inn were extinguished, the entire inn fell into silence.

Chu Qingyun couldn't sleep. He was always worried that the murderer would harm Ye Qingran and Jiang.

Ye Zhuoyu and Ye Guodong have been on the battlefield no matter what. Their martial arts skills are not bad, and they can naturally protect themselves.

But although Ye Qingran was good at martial arts, she still had to protect Jiang. If she encountered a murderer, he was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it alone.

In fact, he hadn't realized that the idea of ​​protecting Ye Qingran had gradually moved away from the idea of ​​repaying gratitude. He had already regarded it as a habit, or even a natural mission.

It was just that it was inconvenient for him to go to their room. He had been standing outside the door and was worried about alerting the murderer. After thinking about it, he had to use his lightness skills and reach the table by the fence on the second floor without affecting the powder on the ground.

If nothing unexpected happened tonight, he would be ready to sleep here.

Ye Qingran had been alert to the arrival of the murderer and had long heard the noise outside.

She originally thought it was the murderer, but after waiting for a long time, there was no other movement outside. She waited impatiently, and after making sure that no one was outside the door, she opened the door and walked out.

It was dark outside, but Chu Qingyun still heard the direction in which the door opened, and asked softly: "Ran'er, is that you?"

After hearing Chu Qingyun's voice, Ye Qingran realized that the noise just now was caused by him, and asked, "What are you doing there at this late hour?"

"I thought it would be unsafe for you and your aunt if the murderer went directly to you, so I thought I could keep an eye out so that I could help you in advance."

Ye Qingran smiled: "If the murderer doesn't come, will you sleep there all night?"

"It's not impossible."

"Stop sleeping, come here."

Ye Qingran waved to him. Although he couldn't see clearly at night, Chu Qingyun still came over obediently, "Come to my room and discuss how to deal with the murderer. We can't let him run away easily this time."

"But isn't my aunt inside? This is not very polite."

"I sent her back to the county office a long time ago. I know it's not safe here, so why would I leave her here?"

After hearing what she said, Chu Qingyun followed her into the room. He was completely relieved when he saw that there was no figure of Jiang in the room.
