You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 898

Joyce was startled by his sudden reprimand.

She shuddered and the tea in her hand was nearly spilled out. She hurriedly held the teacup steady and put it back on top of the coffee table.

Honestly, she felt blessed to be reprimanded by Karl like this. A warm current spread in her heart. This was what having a friend should feel like.

"Sorry, I ..."

She was usually very articulate, but in front of Karl, she often felt unable to speak.

"I understand all these things you said. After I came to the Capital, I have been keeping an eye on the military. When Otis took over Ricky's case, I also knew about it and I had secretly had an investigation. Otis must have found out everything, but he did not report it. Instead, he closed the case hastily and put all the blame on Ricky."

He continued, "Since you want to know, I'll tell you everything that I know. First of all, it is certain Charlotte did not know that Ricky wanted to kill you, because the entire thing happened quite suddenly, and he did not have time to discuss with Charlotte. Ricky would not have known in advance that their video would be exposed during the party. After Ricky knew that we bought the gun for his fingerprints, he began to hunt us down frantically. After all, that could be the actual evidence of Ricky killing Thomas. Once we found anything, Ricky would be completely done."

"Later, the military claimed that Ricky's killing of Thomas was a personal vendetta. The offshore organizations Ricky had contacted, the dark web and the assassins, were all removed one by one by the military, but none of this affected Charlotte."

"I know in my heart that I definitely could not bring down Charlotte. So I could only back up the evidence at that time and wait for a better opportunity. Recently, through special channels, I learned that there have been some new drugs developed by the military. None of them can be found in the market."

"New drugs?" Joyce froze, "You mean, like biochemical weapons or something?"

"Not exactly. In any case, they are drugs that are not normally used, but have a special use in the military. So, I was just thinking about the bizarre death of Mr. Walsh. How could the murderer postpone his death by about five hours. How exactly did it happen? Is it related to these unknown drugs?" Karl held his chin in one hand and gently rubbed it.

"I was once in Otis' car and heard him calling someone else. He seemed to have mentioned that he was speeding up the development of some drugs and he mentioned something about drug trials. He said something like the drugs had been used before and why they could not try the drug now." She said and got more serious, "Could it be, Otis needs someone to try the new drugs?"

This was terrible. If Otis's purpose was to find someone to test the drugs and send her a "gift", he was then simply a devil.

Karl waved his hand, "These are all guesses. Without absolute empirical evidence, it's impossible to bring them down. We must understand that the difficulty now is far greater than before. Otis with Charlotte is like a tiger with wings. Otis has deep roots in the military and cannot be underestimated."

"Hmm." Joyce nodded gently. She knew it wasn't easy, and it might be even more difficult than before.

"So, you don't mess around, okay? Before you do anything, make sure you talk to me! Ask for my permission!" Karl suddenly reached out and gripped her arm tightly.

His crystal eyes looked straight into her clear eyes, and after the reprimand, his voice was almost pleading, "Promise me."

Joyce was shocked by his earnest gaze, and her heart was moved.

She subconsciously responded to him, nodding, "I know."

Between her nose, a sourness rushed up, and her eyes were steeply heated. She took a hard sniff and tilted her head up so as not to let the tears fall down.

Knowing that the road ahead was full of dangers, this time, she still got him involved this time.

She owed him, and how could she pay him back later?
