Chapter 291 - 280: Mysterious Dimension 35
The next day, a group of people found the location of September Square and conducted an investigation on the so-called Master Jiu.
Master Jiu was the nominal steward of September Square, and the industries involved were gambling, loan sharking, and a secret flower shop, which was the so-called brothel. September Square had employed many enforcers who usually collected debts or dealt with issues that couldn’t be handled in a straightforward manner.
This Master Jiu was rather ruthless. It was said he had killed quite a lot of people, but with someone backing September Square, no one dared to lay a hand on them.
The forbidden items that Wan Ting mentioned were Five Stone Powder. Consuming it would become addictive, and excessive consumption would lead to deterioration of health or even cause cancer.
Forbidden items were explicitly banned in this country, but the profit from it was huge, and thus there were many taking the risk to smuggle them.
However, all these activities were conducted secretly. It was unclear why this Master Jiu would actually let Wan Ting put the forbidden substance into the tea of the audience attending the opera shows. He must have known the risk was extraordinarily high once this was discovered.
In order to find out the truth, Mo Si and Xia Xi set off to the residence of Master Jiu that night.
They heard that Master Jiu did not go to bed early, so when they went, it was past two in the very early morning.
