After pushing Bai Zhuo into the arms of the prostitute, Chi Mu finally felt at ease entering the Hongchen Pavilion.
"What's the point of a grown man following me all the time? If I don't enjoy the benefits of this dungeon, it would be a waste of my trip..."
After muttering something to himself, he immediately began to look for the man in red from last night in Hongchen Pavilion.
Although he is not the mastermind of this case, his identity is definitely not simple.
If we follow him, we will definitely find the real mastermind behind the scenes.
Hongchen Pavilion has four floors in total. The first floor is a place for drinking tea and watching dancing, and the second floor is all for pleasure.
As for the third and fourth floors, Chi Mu had actually been there last night. This was where the courtesans rested.
There is a world of difference between this place and the underground floor where the courtesan who had transformed back into a succubus was imprisoned.
While they maintained their unparalleled beauty, Hongchen Pavilion arranged for them to live in luxurious residences with their own rooms each, and they were loved by many people.
Even the services are only provided to the rich and powerful officials.
But once they turn back into succubus form, they will be instantly thrown into the underground level and locked in a cold cage, never to see the light of day again.
They didn't even have the chance to spread their names in Chang'an City.
They will be hidden and forgotten little by little.
"Hiss.....Isn't that man in red not in Hongchen Pavilion during the day?"
After searching the entire Hongchen Pavilion, Chi Mu still couldn't find the man in red from last night.
After a while of thinking, he suddenly remembered that he knew very few clues and information about rice cakes.
According to the rules, rice flower cakes appear more than once. Combined with what the man in red said to the captain who transported the new courtesan to Hongchen Pavilion last night, the way to send silver should be the old way.
This old method...could it be that it is related to rice krispie cakes?
"The people who came to buy rice flower cakes before were all not simple people. Maybe rice flower cakes are just a cover. The meaning it represents is the key."
After having this idea, the previous doubts gradually became clear.
【7: ‘It’ is very afraid of rice cakes. 】
At the beginning, the system prompted that this rule was wrong.
And the 'it' here actually refers to the Oiran, the succubus.
So 'it' is not afraid of rice cakes, but it is afraid of those who come to buy rice cakes.
The aroma of rice flower cake is very special, and the people who buy rice flower cake are actually those who are involved in the case that the commander is investigating.
They were stained with the special aroma of rice cakes, and they smelled this aroma in the process of capturing and selling the oiran.
Therefore, what 'it' is really afraid of is the people who are contaminated by the taste of rice cakes, not the rice cakes themselves.
This wrong rule has been explained.
[2: There are only five kinds of flower cakes in the flower cake shop, and there is no sixth kind of flower cake. ]
Next, here’s the rule.
It is also wrong.
Rice flower cake is the sixth kind of flower cake in the flower cake shop, and only the proprietress knows how to make it.
Rice cakes are only sold to these people of high status, and this is how they send money to each other.
That is, the 'old way' mentioned by the man in red and Qianhu.
Chi Mu guessed that each piece of rice cake represented a certain amount.
This group of people have been making huge deals in this way.
"What the hell? It turns out that the lady boss is involved in both black and white business. On one hand, it is a transit station for transactions, and on the other hand, she has a very good relationship with the commander.
If we can capture the lady boss, wouldn't it be easy to get all this information?"
Realizing this, Chi Mu recalled everything the boss's wife had done to him.
This made him feel that all this was too easy.
If it weren't for the boss lady's help, I would never have been able to investigate these things so quickly.
As for the Supreme Angel, the reason why he was ahead of himself was entirely due to his keen insight. At the beginning of the copy, he chose the most correct identity and obtained it without wasting any time.
“It seems that it is no longer important whether the man in red can be found.
If we can get some clues about the rice cakes from the lady boss, we might be able to get the answer we want directly."
Chi Mu gave up the idea of looking for the man in red.
Since this road doesn't work, just try another one.
After leaving Hongchen Pavilion, Bai Zhuo was still arguing with the prostitute at the door.
"Brother, come in and play..."
"I can't play at all. I'm a serious person!"
"Hey, my sister is also a serious person, let's play seriously!"
Bai Zhuo looked like he was about to cry, so Chi Mu grabbed him and rushed back to the cake shop.
On the way, he sorted out all the things that he had not thought through or noticed before.
Compared to the Supreme Angel, he is still a little too young.
The two chosen ones sent to the cake shop by the Supreme Angel were not looking for Rule Sequence 2.
He already knew the true meaning of rice flower cakes.
"Find a way to get the identity of a Jinyiwei, otherwise you won't have a chance to complete the clearance mission."
Chi Mu said to Bai Zhuo coldly.
Given Bai Zhuo's attitude, Chi Mu decided to help him.
"Jinyiwei? But if you want to get the identity now, you have to kill people..."
Bai Zhuo hesitated to speak, looking very embarrassed.
"Hmm? Didn't you get your current identity as a doctor by killing people?"
"No... I got it by accident. I don't dare to kill anyone."
