After finishing all the instructions, she announced: "Lingshan Investigation Team is officially open for business!"

This kind of task is mysterious, and they are very interested in it, and they are eager to try it.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After Ye Qingran gave Xiao Qi a look, he motioned for the others to hide and not come out.

After Xiao Qi understood what she meant, she straightened her clothes and went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a young girl. Judging from her dress, she should be a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Is this the Lingshan Investigation Team?"

She looked at Xiao Qi curiously, looking a little confused.

Xiao Qi's face was cold, but his words were very polite: "Yes, please come in."

The young lady followed him in, walked through the flowers and plants in the front yard, and reached the main hall.

"please sit down."

After Xiao Qi guided her to sit down, he poured her a cup of tea, "I am Xiao Qi from the Lingshan Investigation Team. What is my name?"

The young lady looked around and then replied: "My surname is Fang. Are you the only one here?"

"No, I'm just responsible for reception. Did you encounter any problems?"

"Well... it's not a big problem. I need you to help me investigate a person. I want to know all his details. Can you do it?"

She took a sip of tea and seemed very satisfied with it. "As for the reward, as long as you can investigate clearly, I will pay you five hundred taels of silver."

Xiao Qi didn't say anything about this price, but continued to ask: "Who is the person who wants to investigate?"

"It's just a man, a young man from a rich family. I have some interest in him, but all I know about him comes from his own words. I don't know anything else."

She narrowed her eyes, "So I need you to investigate this matter within three days. I will not pay you for more than three days."

This task doesn't sound difficult, so five hundred taels of silver is considered a very high price.

After thinking about it, Xiao Qi nodded in agreement: "Yes, we have accepted this commission. We will deliver the results to your house within three days, or you can send someone to pick it up."

"Okay, if you can satisfy me, then your business will be inevitable in the future."

After saying that, she got up and left. Xiao Qi sent her to the door before returning to the backyard.

Ye Qingran heard the whole process in a hidden place. When he came out, he patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder and praised: "Not bad, Xiao Qi. You are so skillful in the first reception. I really saw you right!"

"That's natural. I have kept everything the Lord taught me in mind, so don't worry."

"Okay, this is our first commission. It's not difficult, but it must be done well. Now that we are open, the most important thing is reputation, so I will not restrict any of you from doing it this time. You will cooperate to complete this commission and you will be rewarded. First come, first served.”

After she sent the mission, everyone else set off.

In just one day, they found out the identity of the young master. He was just a brothel boy with no father or mother. He usually liked to dress up like a rich young man and go seduce young ladies from wealthy families for fun.

This speed made Miss Fang very satisfied. After paying an extra hundred taels of silver, she said she would come to them if she had anything to do in the future.

After an actual battle, Ye Qingran had some confidence in the strength of the investigation team, and decided to expand some business and let them practice more. At the same time, he recorded all the commissions he received, and used potions to hide the client's identity. Name, only record the content and accounts, and then keep them secretly.

"You must know that all our entrustments are not allowed to reveal the identity of the entruster, not at all. Secondly, the contents of the entrustment cannot be disclosed to any third party. This is a basic principle. Anyone who breaks this rule will also die."

After she finished her serious instructions, she was about to continue making secret propaganda when she turned around and saw a pigeon flying towards her.

She reached out to catch the falling pigeon and took off the small bamboo tube tied to its feet.

Inside was a message sent from the village. She could recognize it as Ye Zhuoyu's handwriting.

The words on the note were very brief, saying that suddenly everyone in the village began to have vomiting and diarrhea. The old doctor could not cure this problem, and he hoped she would go back and have a look.

After reading the note, she frowned slightly: "What a weird thing."

One or two people may have eaten the wrong thing. If everyone is like this, it may be a big problem.

Thinking of this, she had to go back, so she called Changsheng and told her: "I have to go back to the village for a while, and I don't know when I will be back. The investigation office has been handed over to you before I come back. I can't be sure." If you have any questions, just write to me and ask me, don’t take it lightly.”

Chang Sheng was a steady person, but after all, she lacked experience, so she was still a little worried. After handing the carrier pigeon to him, she left the investigation office and went straight to the village.

When she returned to the village, she couldn't see anyone and the whole village was lifeless.

Seeing this situation, Ye Qingran suddenly felt that something was not good. He first found Ye Guodong and Jiang, and found that they were lying on the bed with pale faces, and Ye Zhuoyu was beside them with a tired look on their faces.

When they saw Ye Qingran coming back, they couldn't get up to greet her. They could only look at her helplessly, hoping that she would come to help.

She also knew that she wasted too much time on the road, so she immediately went to check Ye Zhuoyu's pulse.

"poisoned."

She originally guessed that it was poisoning, but now she was able to confirm it directly after checking her pulse.

Since it was poison, an antidote had to be prepared. This was too slow, so she had to turn around and take out spring water from the space, mix it with tea and give it to them to drink.

After seeing that they were getting better, she asked: "Have you eaten or drank anything recently?"

After Ye Zhuoyu recovered, he replied: "The food is different. I guess it may be a problem with the water."

"But don't we usually use river water and streams? With such a flowing water source, even if someone poisons it, it will have been diluted long ago. How could it be possible for so many people to be poisoned? There must be something fishy about this matter."

She stood up and planned to go to the kitchen to ask first.

It was not convenient for her to take out spring water for everyone to use, so she could only ask others to endure it.

After arriving in the kitchen, they discovered that the people in the kitchen were also poisoned. They had no strength to stand up because they had been delayed for too long. Looking at the spoiled ingredients in the kitchen, they must have not eaten in two days.

Looking at this situation, there is nothing much that can be asked from the chef.

She didn't remember until she left the kitchen that she didn't seem to see Chu Qingyun.

If such a big thing happened, it stands to reason that he would help take care of it. If I didn't see him at this time, could it be that he was also poisoned?

Thinking of this, she suddenly became a little nervous and started looking for Chu Qingyun everywhere, but she couldn't find him after searching a lot, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Are you looking for me?"
