Chapter 2390

The complexity of Jasper's case far exceeded Rio's expectations. There were so many underlying factors!

'Firstly, I didn't know this was a narcotic, Chief Olson," Jasper explained calmly. "As you mentioned, this is a new drug that's only emerged in Solana City over the past two months. Most people haven't encountered it yet. Even someone as informed as you likely just started learning about it. How could I have known?

"Secondly, I wouldn't have taken it if I'd known it was a narcotic. I'm dealing with health issues right now. Taking drugs would only harm me further. Why would I jeopardize my own life? Why would I not want to live a long life?"

Jasper's posture was upright, exuding an air of sternness reminiscent of a disciplined soldier. His righteous demeanor made it hard to believe he was a man struggling with drug addiction. Who could look at him and think otherwise?

While Rio mulled over the situation, Steven interjected with a serious tone. "Chief Olson, I strongly suggest questioning Dr. Gillis as soon as possible. If she's the one who provided my client with these medications, she would know their source.

"If the pills found in Mr. Beckett's office are indeed Crystal Ice, then Dr. Gillis is highly suspicious. As a private physician with unrestricted access to the Beckett residence, she could easily have planted the drugs in Mr. Beckett's office.

Rio froze at Steven's assertion.
