My Immoral Detective System Chapter 22
Advertisement
Zion had expected to see the prince jumping over the poor prostitute and pushing her on the bed. But what he thought of didn't happen. Instead, he waved at the girl standing before him, and she bowed before she walked into the middle of the room. After that, she randomly started dancing.
The steps she performed urged Zion to raise his brows in surprise. At first, he had thought that this girl would perform an ancient dance, but what she was doing was an ugly mixture of hip hop and belly dance. Being a 21st-century youth, he knew how the dancers performed, and even prostitutes would be aware of a professional way of dancing it all out.
But when he glanced at the girl who was dancing before him, he felt a rare urge to puke. The prostitutes were supposed to dance with elegance to seduce the man before him, but such a performance would only force the clients away!
Even kids in the apartment he lived in his previous life would do better than this lady! This girl was just flapping her hands in the air like a mad person in the name of dancing!
Zion pressed his lips together and curbed his urge to throw something at the dancing girl before him. He averted his eyes and simply decided to ignore the girl's funny dancing. The only good thing was the soothing piano music in the background.
Just when he thought he would save himself from seeing such an embarrassing thing, he heard a high-pitched voice that sang what seemed like a comical version of a modern pop song. His brows were wrinkled.
What kind of world was this?! At every point, he saw something that irritated the heck out of him! Then he glanced at Prince Linton, who had a smile on his face as his entire body relaxed and leaned back on the wall. The man watched the funny dance before him and seemed like it was making him feel relaxed.

Zion really wanted to march toward the guy and shake his shoulders. How could he like such a stupid performance?!
Just then, he heard something that made Zion even more irritated.
"Okay, that's enough. I want to be alone now." Prince Linton paused and took out a pouch filled with coins before throwing it toward the girl. "Here. You have professionally presented the pre-war culture. I guess the ancestors who had lived in the technology world would shower praises on you."
The prostitute grabbed the pouch and grinned before heading out.
Veins popped on Zion's forehead. What professional?! This was nothing but comical! He could bet that if the ancestors saw this kind of performance, they would definitely throw shoes and stones at the girl!
After calming down, he realized what Prince Linton meant by pre-war culture. He had read about how the world was like when humans were still ruling over the world. It was just like the world Zion used to live in his previous life. And if that were the case, then the dance presentation he saw just now was a comical version of the real one belonging to the technological era.
He was just thinking about this when he heard the loud scolding voice of the manager coming from the main hall. Zion glanced at the prince, who furrowed his brows and walked out. With nothing to do for now other than following Linton, the detective also sighed and walked out while hiding his presence in the shadows.
What he saw next made him feel an urge to kill every single person.
He saw a girl performing a professional hip-hop dance, and that lady's steps looked like she had just jumped out of the television to show them the authentic dance. Even her singing was up to the mark that made him feel relaxed. But the manager standing before her glared at the woman and said, "What the-" He took a deep breath as if he was suppressing his anger. "What kind of performance is this?! Learn something from Lisa! This is not what a professional dance looks like!"

The girl abruptly stopped and lowered her head as if she was guilty of her actions. "I-I'll try my level best…."
The manager was too angry. So he knocked her head with the paper fan in his hand and said, "You have been learning from that lazy man Riley, haven't you? That man has been teaching comical and unauthentic versions of dance and songs for years, and King Rhesus still hasn't done anything at all!"
Unauthentic?! From what corner did this dance look unauthentic to these people?! Zion glared at the manager. He wanted to go and flip the table right before their eyes!
He originally wasn't a person who would get irritated quickly in his previous world. Of course, back then, people would praise him for everything he would do and not even dare to do anything to irritate him. But now, when people from this world were going against the norm, he couldn't help but feel irritated.
Still, he was here to solve the case and survive rather than focusing on unnatural things. He took a deep breath and glanced at Prince Linton, who laughed and walked back inside the room. Zion swiftly followed and hid behind the folding screen again.
He watched the prince closing the door behind him before he strolled toward the cupboard. After opening the wooden door carved with flower design at the corner, Linton shifted the hanging clothes on one side. He pressed something on the wall and slid open the hidden door inside the cupboard. What was revealed was darkness.
After glancing at the room once again, he entered the dark place before closing the door. Zion squinted his eyes and stared at the opened cupboard for a long time before he came out. His vigilance was high since he wasn't sure when that person would pop out of that place. But even after waiting for a while, the cupboard door didn't slide open.
So he went back to the same place where Prince Linton had done something on the wall. He squinted his eyes and caressed the bricks. He even knocked every single one of them and tried pushing them. But no matter how much he tried, the cupboard's hidden wall didn't open again.
