?Chapter 2133


    They could not get through to Owen, and the higher-ups have been putting pressure on the chief.


    Therefore, when they heard that Be wanted to try negotiating with Owen, although it was not in line with the procedure, and Be was also not a negotiation expert, solving the case was more important than anything. So, the chief made an exception, letting her meet and talk to Owen.


    Outside the one-way ss window of the interrogation room, Justin and Ralph looked at Be, who was inside confronting the suspect. Both men had heavy and worried expressions.


    In the interrogation room, Owen''s gaze was dark and inscrutable as he emotionlessly stared at the beautiful woman before him.


    "Ms. Be, at this point, I''ve admitted everything I should. I think there''s nothing left for us to talk about."Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Deputy Chief Hopkins,"


    "Please change the way you address me. I''m only a suspect who kills without blinking." Owen smiled self- deprecatingly.


    But even when reduced to a prisoner, he still sat upright, his demeanor unshaken. Decades of navigating the political scene and the air of authority built from holding a high position could not be stripped away in a day.


    "Okay, then I''ll call you Mr. Hopkins."


    Be''s eyes were gentle, and she said politely. "I know you''vee to this point today not because you''re evil, but because you were forced to."


    "You''re wrong. Every step I''ve taken in my life was my own choice." Owen tugged at his lips, "Ms. Be, I''m willing to meet you and sit here, listening to your pointless nonsense because you saved my wife. I''ve already confessed to my crimes. I won''t say a word about anything else. Please leave."


    Outside the window, Justin clenched his jaw, secretly curling his fists into a ball.


    "Justin, don''t be nervous. Be must have a n." Ralph noticed his nerves and patted his shoulders reassuringly.


    Be steadied herself and ced a report she prepared before Owen.


    "What''s this?" The man lowered his eyes.


    "The analysis report of the drug you see as yourst hope from a reputable institution." Be looked at him nonchntly.


    Owen''s pupils contracted, a crack appearing on his cold expression.


    "The reason you''re protecting the man behind you, even at the cost ofmitting crimes for him, was to save your wife, who has Alzheimer''s. But you never considered that this new drug development was a ridiculous scam from the start."


    Be''s voice was calm, but the light that shone beneath her eyes was as cold as des, seemingly piercing through the man''s trembling soul!


    "What did you say? What scam?" Owen clenched his jaw.


    "The report clearly stated that the so-called new drug is merely a type of neuroleptic." Be''s voice deepened. "It does not have any treatment effect toward Alzheimer''s, and it causes other side effects, even


    carrying the risk of poisoning if overdosing. This was also why many people copsed and convulsed, eventually dying after consuming the drug.


    "If there''s any difference between the new drug and neuroleptics, it''s that it has a moreplicatedposition, and even it contains three types of strictly prohibited substances in our country due to their highly addictive potential. Rather than saying it''s a medicine, it''s more urate to call it a narcotic."


    The word "narcotic" made Owen''s sight instantly go dark.


    He was a police officer who once despised drugs, but never in a million years would he imagine that he would be involved with them.


    It was undoubtedly turning his values, his goals, and his faith upside down.


    "Impossible. You''re lying!" Owen''s cuffed hands clenched into fists tightly. "This analysis report is fake, right? It''s a tool you''re using to deceive and trick me!"


    At this moment, Ralph furrowed his brows outside.


    "He took the bait. He''s indirectly admitting that his murders were rted to the new drug''s experiments." Justin nodded. "Owen is a cleaner. His worth is to clear all the obstacles for the mastermind behind the drug research, ensuring that the experiments could carry on secretly."


    Ralph shook his head. "What a pity. He''s a distinguished Deputy Chief with admirable achievements, but he chose to dance with the devil."


    Justin stared at Be''s face, slightly parting his lips. "It''s not his intention. He was desperate to save his wife."


    Ralph sighed indignantly. "He''s pitiful, but more despicable and hateful."


    "I don''t have to do that. Besides, you were deep in the middle of the conspiracy, handling many problems for the mastermind. You must have had your doubts. After all, the people who consumed the drug had such tragic fates, don''t you think so?" Be struck while the iron was hot.


    Her words hit home for Owen. He slumped back dejectedly, eyes turning bloodshot.


    In fact, Owen had long been suspicious. However, he did not dare to ask Christopher, holding on to a sliver of hope that the drug would save his wife.


    In the chairman''s office of Iverson Group, Christopher continued reviewing documents after taking his medication.


    Putting aside his character, he was hardworking and diligent in his work. If Justin was the number one workaholic in Savrow, he couldpete for second ce.


    At this moment, his phone vibrated on the table.


    Behind the golden-rimmed sses, Christopher nced at the name on the screen, and his face instantly paled.


    "Ms. Amaryllis." He lowered his voice.


    "Chairman Iverson, your trusted aide is now under the police''s control and has be a major threat." rice''s voice carried a hint of mockery,ing from another continent. "The Boss is very concerned about your situation now."


    "Please assure him that I will take care of the problems here." Christopher gripped the fountain pen tightly, his knuckles turning white.


    "You''re confident, but the Boss does not have much patience left." rice smiled. "The weather at Meridan is really not as good as back home or Savrow. It''s not beneficial for the Boss''s health. Besides, the Boss''s homesickness has intensified over the past two years, and he''s in a rush to return to Savrow."


    She lowered her voice. "But look at all the trouble you caused. How can the Boss return peacefully? You''ve really let us down."
