After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

"So I guess the transaction method between the chief courtesan and the courtesans is the same. They are all treated as playthings between nobles and given away or traded at will."

"Can I understand it this way? That is... Brother Jinnian has no substantial evidence to prove that those chief courtesans were traded as playthings?"

Gu Qingze gave a general summary.

"Probably...right." Song Jinnian felt inexplicably guilty when answering these words.

Gu Qingze sighed.

"Forget it, brother Jinnian, didn't you say that two of the three who were found dead were still dead? Did you find the bodies of the two dead ones?"

Song Jinnian shook his head and said, "No, I heard other monsters say this when I was asking around, but I don't think they would lie about this kind of thing."

"That's not necessarily true. The demon's mind is hard to predict."

Gu Qingze thought for a moment, "Brother Jinnian, when you leave the brothel this time, can you help me find the only chief courtesan who is still alive and has left the post?"

"The one who...can't speak and is crazy?"

"Yes, it seems now that she is our only breakthrough."

Gu Qingze said seriously.

"We need to make appropriate and reasonable speculations based on the evidence, rather than completely fanciful speculations..."

When Gu Qingze said this, he suddenly felt that his words were ambiguous, as if they implied something to Song Jinnian. Although it was unintentional, he still smiled embarrassedly.

Then he changed the subject and said, "Actually, Brother Jinnian's speculation just now was very good, but he was a little stuck in inertial thinking."

Song Jinnian remained silent, and it was unknown whether he had heard it or not.

However, Gu Qingze couldn't care less and had to continue talking.

"The only real information we have now, without any speculation, is that the woman is insane and unable to speak."

"The bodies of the two chief courtesans who died were not found, so they don't count. The fact that the others were used as playthings by the nobles is more of a guess."

Song Jinnian nodded, but looked embarrassed.

"But when I saw her, she was completely crazy. Anyone who got close to her would be bitten by her desperately. Moreover, she couldn't even speak because her tongue had been cut off..."

"It's very difficult to get information from her."

Gu Qingze took the initiative to hold his hand and encouraged him with a smile.

"That's why we need Brother Jinnian to take action. I'm not sure about other monsters, but Brother Jinnian is so powerful, I believe you will have a way."

"Brother Qingze..."

Song Jinnian's eyes reflected the trust that Gu Qingze showed in him, and he was stunned for a moment.

"So Qingze-nii trusts me so much...?! Are you deliberately flattering me so that I have no choice but to agree?"

Song Jinnian said suspiciously.

Oops, guessed it right...!

Gu Qingze was instantly figured out by him, but he still pretended to be wronged and shook his head innocently.

"Of course not. I always thought that Brother Jinnian was the most capable, and you helped us a lot before this."

"If I hadn't met Brother Jinnian, maybe Lingxiao and I wouldn't have gotten familiar with the rules of the demon world so quickly."

"Although what I said may sound a bit like blind admiration, I always feel that Brother Jinnian will definitely have a way."

"....Okay, I promise you." Song Jinnian looked at Gu Qingze, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
