Chapter 321: Effortless Gain

Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Effortless Gain

Vivian Jills clutched the hem of her clothes, her head lowered, and revealed her cousin’s current address. "My cousin said her place wasn’t safe anymore, so she wanted to stay at my house.

"She would pay my mom a sum of money each month as rent. The only condition was that we couldn’t disturb her or tell anyone else she was there."

Because of her, her family’s savings had been completely depleted.

So, after hearing this request, Ms. Logan only hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing without a second thought.

They were family, after all. She was just staying for a bit, and she was even paying.

Ms. Logan naturally wouldn’t refuse such a good deal.

Evan Keller raised an eyebrow in surprise. He hadn’t expected that.

"Anything else?" Evan Keller continued to ask.

Vivian Jills nodded. "Iris told me she accidentally got hooked by her boyfriend. Later, when she discovered the stuff made you lose weight fast, she thought of using short videos to promote it."

A small amount of the powder was mixed with other crushed vitamins and painkillers to make pills. These were then packaged with a large number of cheap vitamin tablets. Selling these small packs made more money than just selling the powder outright.

It was even safer and more discreet.

Iris Logan naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity. She and her boyfriend hit it off on the idea immediately and started a small "weight loss workshop," charging various membership fees and making bold promises that clients would definitely lose weight.

In reality, it was just the powder combined with a certain amount of exercise.

Although it was incredibly profitable, the two of them didn’t dare to scale up, afraid of attracting the attention of the authorities.

But their addictions grew heavier by the day, and the money they earned wasn’t enough to cover the costs.

In the end, to scrape together enough for her own habit, Iris Logan pulled Vivian Jills into it as well.

Once Vivian Jills was addicted and had spent all her family’s savings, she also set her sights on her classmates.

But she never expected that after everything had gone so smoothly, just as she was preparing to increase the dosage for a final score, Hannah Thompson would actually go to the police.

And because of her own greed, she had fallen into a trap and been brought to the station as well.

Following Vivian Jills’s confession, Evan Keller quickly found Iris Logan’s account on the app.

The video with the most views was a before-and-after comparison of her "weight loss." The comment section was a flood of praise and recommendations, with everyone saying they’d lost weight.

Amidst the screen full of praise, Evan Keller saw several skeptical comments mixed in.

Some said they felt strange after taking the pills; others said they were a total fake, just a bunch of vitamin tablets.

But these dissenting voices were too few compared to the entire comment section and didn’t attract any attention.

When Evan Keller refreshed the page, the skeptical comments he had just seen were gone.

’It seems someone is monitoring it, deleting any negative comments as soon as they appear.’

In the eyes of people obsessed with losing weight, Iris Logan’s video was indeed very appealing.

"You guys have a decent sense of self-preservation, thinking to use weight loss pills to hide this. You even knew not to make it too big to avoid attracting attention." Evan Keller stared at Vivian Jills, a corner of his mouth twitching. He continued, "Give me your cousin’s boyfriend’s phone number, and the address of this weight loss workshop."

Vivian Jills gave Evan Keller a puzzled look and said, "Didn’t you have your team members follow him?

"Iris’s boyfriend is the one who sold the stuff to Hannah Thompson."

Evan Keller’s grip on his pen tightened abruptly. He suppressed a surge of excitement and continued to ask, "Then do you know how many people are in their group?"

Having said so much already, Vivian Jills decided to tell him everything she knew. "I heard Iris say there are just three of them. They didn’t dare recruit too many people, afraid they’d accidentally be exposed."

’Just three of them?’

’Great. No need to wait, then. We can just arrest them directly.’

"Alright, I understand. You wait here for now. When we’ve brought them in, I’ll officially record the information you’ve given me and submit it," Evan Keller stood up and said to the terrified Vivian Jills.

Vivian Jills also knew that unless they actually caught everyone, it was uncertain whether her contribution would truly count for anything.

For the sake of a reduced sentence later, Vivian Jills was meticulous, even giving Evan Keller the passcode to her front door to help them catch the suspects as quickly as possible.

Thanks to the intelligence provided by Vivian Jills, Iris Logan, her boyfriend, and the young man who had just made the delivery to the Thompson family were all brought in.

Ms. Logan stood nearby. Seeing Iris Logan being escorted into the station by the police, her face turned pale, and she muttered to herself, "Oh no, Iris has been arrested. How am I going to explain this to her mother? The other relatives will definitely laugh me to death.

"And Vivi, really, how could she have ratted her out! What do I do, what do I do... Maybe I should call them now and give them a heads-up."

Her voice wasn’t loud, but Hannah’s aunt, who was standing right beside her with Hannah Thompson, naturally heard every word she had just mumbled.

Hannah’s aunt rolled her eyes without hesitation. ’What kind of clueless creature is this?’

’Shouldn’t she be angry that the other person corrupted her child? Why is she worried about being laughed at by relatives?’

Hannah’s aunt pulled Hannah Thompson a step to the side, distancing herself from Ms. Logan. At the same time, she didn’t forget to report to the police officer watching over them that the woman was planning to make a phone call.

Over in the office, Zoe Sawyer and Beau had just finished the sketches of the grave-robbing suspects. When they heard Evan Keller had brought in the drug-dealing suspects, Zoe was about to go take a look when she saw several team members escorting people past her.

Zoe Sawyer stared at the three people who had just passed in front of her and frowned in confusion. "Beau, don’t those three look like the suspects we just sketched?"

Beau glanced at their backs, then nodded with great certainty. "It’s them! I’m not mistaken!"

Sean Hughes, who had just come up from behind, heard Beau’s words and asked quizzically, "What are you not mistaken about?"

Zoe Sawyer pointed at the three being escorted ahead. "Those three are the grave-robbing suspects."

"Let’s go. We’ll head over too and see what’s going on." Sean Hughes narrowed his eyes, beckoning for Zoe Sawyer and Beau to go with him.

’If it really is them, then this is quite a stroke of luck!’

Hayden Shaw wanted to follow, but his gaze fell on Hannah’s aunt and Hannah Thompson standing to the side. He sighed inwardly and suppressed his desire.

’Forget it. I’ll just read the report after this case is over.’

’Going over now would just be a violation of regulations and would only cause trouble for my colleagues. I might as well stay in the reception room.’

Meanwhile, Evan Keller, who had been standing at the door of the interrogation room arranging for his team members to lock up the three suspects separately, saw the three of them approaching and asked curiously.

"What are you all doing here?"ℯℯ𝘭.
