Chapter 4343 Inn
Su Yan squatted down to check for a moment, and said: "The dust on the ground has been destroyed. You did get the skin back. But for some reason, the skin appeared in Du Yourui's room. The skin will not go away by itself. It must be you, or someone else, who entered your room and took the skin. Brother Yuan, someone entered your room, didn't you notice?"
Yuan Ping frowned coldly, "I was in a bad mood, drank a little too much, and went back to rest."
"Excuse me, why are you in a bad mood?"
Yuanping asked: "Does it mean I'm suspected even if I'm in a bad mood?"
Su Yan explained in a gentle voice: "I just heard from Qi Yu that you were unhappy all the way. Aren't you going to do business? This is a good thing, why are you unhappy?"
Yuan Ping looked at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu frowned and looked away.
Yuan Ping sneered, "I'm afraid I'm not the only one in a bad mood."
Su Yan noticed that the atmosphere between the two seemed a little weird.
She changed the subject, "Brother Qi, can I see your room?"
Lu Songyuan asked: "Are you going to read them all?"
"I'm mainly worried about everyone's safety," Su Yan said with a friendly smile, speaking one thing after another, "If there really is a murderer, it would be fine if his target was only Du Yourui, but what if he wants to continue to harm people? Although we met by chance, we drank together last night and can be considered friends. I guess you don't want to see anyone else get into trouble, right?"
Lu Songyuan vaguely felt that he was being suspected.
But Su Yan's smile was sincere, as if he was really worried about their safety.
Lu Songyuan was amused by Su Yan's reaction, "In that case, we should check everything."
Qi Yu's room is right next to Yuan Ping's room.
The wing room was simple, and apart from an extra set of tea cups on the eight-immortals table, it was no different from the other wing rooms.
"I drank some wine last night and was very thirsty, so I went to the lobby to get a teacup."
"You went out last night? What time was it? Did you hear any noise?"
Qi Yu shook his head, "I can't remember, nothing unusual... I seemed to hear some noises, like the friction of mopping the floor?"
Yuan Ping said unhappily, "You are talking nonsense again. In the middle of the night, even if you want to kill someone, do you need to make such a noise?"
Su Yan looked at Lu Songyuan, "Brother Lu does make noises when he walks."
Lu Songyuan waved his hands repeatedly, "This is the first time I met Du Yourui, why would I kill him? I just stayed up last night and didn't go anywhere else."
Su Yan smiled and said, "I believe it."
I thought to myself - I guess they are all lying.
Lu Songyuan: “…”
Several people had to hurry on their way. Lu Songyuan had lived in the inn for a long time and had stored some food. To be on the safe side, Su Yan took a silver needle and tested the poison one by one.
The food that Lu Songyuan had stored was fine, but when he tried the sour apricots that Qi Yu carried with him, the silver needles reacted.
Qi Yu's face turned pale, "Someone wants to kill me?!"
Lu Songyuan took a breath and said, "Fortunately Miss Su insisted, otherwise we would really die."
Su Yan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
If a murderer wants to kill someone, does he need to poison food in several places?
Su Yan said: "I remember I didn't eat sour apricots last night."
Qi Yu's expression still didn't ease. He leaned against the wall and said weakly, "This was dried by my mother. I took it as a snack on the road. There wasn't much left. I wanted to save it for the road, so I didn't take it out last night."
Su Yan looked at Yuan Ping, "Brother Yuan, do you recognize me?"
Yuan Ping frowned, "I recognize it."
"Does Qi Yu often eat on the road?"
"I'll eat during my breaks..." Yuan Ping's eyes were burning, "Are you doubting me?"
Su Yan smiled brightly, "How could that be? I believe that each of you is a good person."
I thought to myself - who else could it be but you?
Yuanping: "You!"
Su Yan rolled her eyes and tried to avoid their names when thinking in her mind, so that they would not hear her true thoughts. She would have to practice more in the future to avoid "targeted" thinking, so that it would be safe.
"I'm going to go look around the area. Yun Xing probably won't be back for a while."
Su Yan avoided the other three and went to the yard.
Poisoning is easy to say, but it is also difficult to say.
The murderer has to preserve the poison and deal with the remaining part, or the container where the poison is stored. These things will not disappear for no reason.
Su Yan carefully checked the entire inn and also looked around the area, turning over every haystack.
An hour later, Su Yan returned to the lobby.
Lu Songyuan and the other two were sitting in the lobby. Lu Songyuan had a worried look on his face, but Qi Yu and Yuan Ping were in a relaxed state. They picked two tables to sit at.
Seeing Su Yan coming back, Lu Songyuan asked, "Did you gain anything?"
Su Yan looked around and said, "We found two porcelain bottles with residual arsenic in them. What a coincidence, two people wanted to poison someone, and they both used arsenic. I am a little curious about the connection between the three and Mr. Liu's family who were killed two years ago."
Yuan Ping was furious, "This is my first time here, what does it have to do with him? If you don't believe me, just go to my house and check!"
Lu Songyuan stood up and stopped Yuan Ping. "Don't be angry. Miss Su is also concerned about our safety. How about this? I think it's getting late. I'll go get some food so we can fill our stomachs. When Brother Yun brings the government officials here, the captain will have the final say."
Qi Yuyi asked quietly, "You are so angry, are you feeling guilty?"
Yuan Ping glared at Qi Yu fiercely.
The two were in a bad mood. Su Yan was worried that he would be scolded for his idle thoughts, so he simply went to the kitchen to help Lu Songyuan prepare meals.
Lu Songyuan cleaned the big pot on the stove and started a fire, while Su Yan was responsible for washing and picking vegetables.
"Don't blame them for being anxious. I am anxious too. There are only a few of them, and the poison is almost more than the people. I have to worry and be suspected. It's normal to be in a bad mood."
Su Yan said frankly: "Yun Xing and I cannot clear the suspicion. We are all the same. Relax."
Lu Songyuan stuffed some dry branches into the stove and asked, "Did you really find two porcelain bottles containing poison?"
"Yes, not only did I find it, I also discovered something very interesting."
Lu Songyuan asked: "What's the matter?"
Su Yan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after Yun Xing comes back."
Except for Su Yan, everyone else had an uneasy meal.
Yuan Ping even chose to eat alone at a table. After each dish, he would ask Su Yan, "Have you tried it?"
Only Su Yan not only ate with relish, but also ate a lot.
Since starting the journey, Su Yan had been chewing dry food most of the time, which made his throat dry and sore. How could he miss the chance to eat some delicious food with great difficulty?
After eating and drinking, Su Yan poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it.
The other three had already finished their meal and drank two cups of tea.
Su Yan was drinking when he heard a series of "thump" sounds, as if someone had fallen on the table.
Su Yan wanted to look back, but her vision became blurry. She held on to the table and slowly fell down.
Just as the scorching sun hid behind the clouds, the last ray of light in the lobby disappeared completely.
The entire lobby was silent.
After a long while, when he saw that everyone else had stopped moving, a dark figure slowly sat up.
