We propose a simple rule for finding Dirac cone electronic states in solids, that is neglecting those lattice atoms inert to the particular electronic bands, and pursuing the two dimensional (2D) graphene-like quasi-atom lattices with s- and p-bindings by considering the equivalent atom groups in the unit cell as quasi-atoms. With CsPbBr$_3$ and Cs$_3$Bi$_2$Br$_9$ bilayers as examples, we demonstrate the effectiveness and generality of this rule with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We demonstrate that both bilayers have Dirac cones around the Fermi level and reveal that their corresponding Fermi velocities can reach as high as $\sim$ 0.2$\times$10$^6$m/s. That makes these new 2D layered materials very promising in making new ultra-fast ionic electronic devices.
