London time, 7:30 AM, at the Bedlam Asylum's card room for patient entertainment.
Ke Yin Zhi picked up a deck of poker cards that Francis had tampered with and sat down at a table with Fan Quan.
"Shall we take a look?"
He rested his chin on one hand while speaking and opened the deck marked with serial number 02.
Then, keeping their internal order unchanged, he gently flipped through them, starting from the top card and looking down one by one.
The playing cards provided by the asylum followed the standard 54-card set.
Aside from the two joker cards, "Big Joker," and "Little Joker," the remaining 52 cards consisted of four instances each of: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K.
Subsequently, Ke Yin Zhi, while keeping the order of the cards the same, checked the decks marked with serial numbers 05 and 09.
Soon, both he and Fan Quan discovered that each deck adjusted by Francis had a different arrangement from top to bottom.
