When Joyce finished.
Karl held his jaw in thought for a moment before nodding gently, "Yes, you've thought it through quite well."
"Well, I will keep an eye on Charlotte these days. We still need a plan for it and there are not many days left. We must not make any mistakes." Joyce returned.
At that moment, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in the meal. Two exquisite stir-fried dishes, one stewpot, and two portions of mixed grain rice. It was neatly arranged in front of them.
After the waiter left, Karl first gave Joyce a piece of tofu.
"At this restaurant, tofu is a signature dish. It tastes delicate and the soup is tasty. You try it."
"Hmm. These are the dishes the waiter recommended." She took a few bites and it was really good, "It's delicious."
"By the way, are you busy? Are you in a hurry to go back to work?" She asked as she gave him a bowl of soup.
Every time Karl had no time for lunch, and he often had just a sandwich and barely managed to get by.
"Today is okay. I promise I can finish the meal." Karl smiled, "I just thought about it. Besides exposing Charlotte's private affair, our next focus should be on the murder of Thomas. When Charlotte's private life was exposed, her reputation was in tatters, and that's when the murder of Thomas should be brought to the table. The crime of intentional homicide and obstruction of justice, even if the military district steps in, they cannot protect Ricky."
"So you mean… Even if we find evidence of Thomas's murder, we can’t get Charlotte?" Joyce's brow furrowed.
If Ricky sensed that he had been drugged, for one thing he would certainly be more cautious, and for another he would certainly turn around and find out what happened.
"No, firstly the drug is completely different and secondly the dose is very small. I used it just to help them a bit. If they didn't already have the desire, such a small dose would not have contributed." Karl knew her concerns and said with certainty, "The dose and effect of the drugs used have been measured in detail by the Office for the Elimination of Pornography."
Joyce gave a wry smile. He was indeed a professional. He even studied the dose and effect of such medicine.
"Is there anything else I can do to help with the Thomas case?" She asked again.
"Yes."
