Foul Lady Fortune

The following day, Silas, Rosalind, and Orion go to the food market to meet their new handler. To everyone’s surprise, it’s an 18-year-old filing clerk named Jiemin who works with Rosalind. He explains that he’s been surveilling Seagreen for the past year and discovered that the poisonings originated there. Rosalind and Orion were called in to figure out why. The spies explain that their principal suspect is Haidi. Since the company is holding a party at the Cathay Hotel on Friday evening, Rosalind suggests that the Nationalists plan to make their arrests then because all the suspects will be conveniently assembled in one place. Jiemin agrees and gives the agents until Friday to figure out the reason for the poisonings.

Around the same time, Liza leaves her hideout to do some investigating for Rosalind and her colleagues. An old woman claims to have seen the poisoner at work in the alley below her apartment. She took some photos and agrees to give the film to Liza. The spy takes the film roll and immediately goes in search of a darkroom to develop it.

Later that day, Orion is picking up a lunch order at an outdoor stall when Phoebe shows up.
