A few days later.
Joyce went to work on the top floor office of Cloud Bay Tower as usual.
In the past few days, she had been going back and forth between the office and the construction site, held a few meetings, and had now got a preliminary proposal ready.
As she walked out of the elevator, she received a call from Karl.
She didn’t want to draw attention to herself, and she purposely walked to the end of the corridor before picking up the phone.
She wore a Bluetooth headset and carried her phone in her pocket.
"Joyce, the police just released a report about the death of Mr. Walsh. There are no lethal drugs in his blood, but only narcotic pain relievers." Karl said.
"I remember they had the same result for Stephanie's blood sample." Joyce lowered her voice, "But at the time, Stephanie was taking pain pills because of her advanced lung cancer. So it didn't get much attention."
"True, but the younger Mr. Walsh insisted that his brother never took painkillers. So the cause of death of this Mr. Walsh was absolutely identical to Stephanie's."
"What's next?" Joyce asked.
"In order not to arouse Otis's suspicion, I will close the case temporarily as accidental death. We can say perhaps the older Mr. Walsh might be taking pain medication in private or to be high on drugs, and then just close the case like that. However, I have a feeling that the younger Mr. Walsh would not just let go easily. Joyce, you have to be careful these days."
"Okay, I got it." Joyce responded, "By the way, have you gotten the bugging program that I mentioned to you two days ago?"
"Yeah, but are you really sure? Don't take risks easily."
