Chapter 27 - 26. Parade
"To catch a spy, one must learn to think like a spy."
"If I were the Chief of Jing Dynasty Military Intelligence Department, what kind of person would I turn into my spy in the Prince Mansion?"
Sitting on a common bed and propping up his chin, Chen Ji silently analyzed:
"Not a guard, guards are not allowed into the inner houses."
"...The Imperial Physician and apprentices from Taiping Medical Hall can not only meet people from the outside but are also authorized to enter the inner houses."
Chen Ji was shocked, "I couldn't really be a Jing Dynasty spy, could I?!"
He seriously analyzed this possibility:
He had appeared at Zhou Chengyi's household in the middle of the night, and when he first met the butler, the butler already knew he was an apprentice from the Medical Hall, indicating that his original self had visited Zhou Mansion more than once.
Alum was often used as a medicine, which was available at Taiping Medical Hall, so if he were a Jing Dynasty spy, the source of the alum in Zhou Chengyi's Mansion would be explained...
He gasped!
Wait, no, that's not right.
