Despite saying this, Marcel Jefferson had doubts as he looked towards Purple Summers: “The police didn’t find any cigarette butts or packs at that time. After so long, there probably wouldn’t even be any ash left, so we have no way to collect evidence…”

This was also a concern for Purple Summers.

Without evidence, nothing could be proven. Even if Purple Summers found the cigarette to be highly suspicious, it wouldn’t help.

At this point, Jessica Cameron provided another small detail: “Cyrus Davis didn’t use a cigarette pack; he always kept his cigarettes in a small, resealable bag.”

Upon hearing this, Marcel Jefferson nodded, “Assuming the cigarette Cyrus Davis brought was problematic, he and the other two boys smoked, then casually threw the resealable bag and cigarette butts into nearby weeds, making it very difficult for the police to find.”

Peachwater Village was a rural town without comprehensive public facilities, which meant a lack of public trash cans along the streets. There were many weed clusters filled with miscellaneous garbage like cans, bottle caps, cigarette butts, and wrappers outside houses and along roadsides.

The messier it was, the easier it was to conceal useful clues.

Purple Summers pondered and asked Jessica Cameron, “Did Cyrus Davis and his classmates have any places they liked to hang out?”

For some reason, upon hearing this question, Jessica Cameron’s eyes flickered evasively. Subconsciously, she lowered her eyes, and her hands nervously twisted together.

Marcel Jefferson also noticed Jessica Cameron’s abnormal behavior and blurted out, “Why, is this question… inconvenient to answer?”

Purple Summers tilted her head, looking at Jessica Cameron, “Karaoke, video arcade, nightclubs, internet cafes – where did they normally go?”

“Does this… have anything to do with the case?” asked Jessica Cameron hesitantly.

“It might be related, or it might not be,” Purple Summers replied. “We can’t come to any conclusions for the time being, but the biggest question now is the origin of the cigarettes. I highly suspect that they purchased illegal drugs at some entertainment venues.”

Jessica Cameron’s eyes widened in disbelief, “No way… Cyrus Davis only smoked.”

“Whether it’s illegal or not depends on the composition of the cigarette.”

After hesitating for a while, Jessica Cameron finally said the name of a place, “I only know he went there several times a month, but I don’t know exactly what he did there.”

Purple Summers jotted down the place’s name.

At this moment, a tall and upright man entered the coffee shop from outside.

“Excuse me, is Jessica Cameron working here?” the man asked.

Mentioning Jessica Cameron’s name, the three people at the table instinctively looked over. Purple Summers and Marcel Jefferson simultaneously recognized the man, exclaiming in surprise, “Prosecutor Allen Rivera?”

Allen Rivera’s eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled, “It’s you guys.”

Hearing that the prosecutor was looking for her, Jessica Cameron nervously stood up.

Allen Rivera approached and spoke in an official tone, “We found traces of tetrahydrocannabinol in the talismanic water of the sorceress. Now, we’d like to ask you about the situation on that day.”

Purple Summers was speechless. Allen Rivera’s efficiency was too high – they had only sent the items for testing yesterday, and today the results were already available?

Jessica Cameron’s eyes widened in disbelief, “How could this be? I… I also drank that water.”

“The sorceress’ talisman paper is different – some contain drugs, while others don’t, depending on the price,” explained Purple Summers.

Allen Rivera looked at her, slightly surprised.

Meeting his gaze, Purple Summers continued, “I sent the items, and gave the investigation results to Officer Jackson.”

Allen Rivera suddenly realized and extended his hand, “Thankyou for assisting in our investigation work.”

Purple Summers felt awkward and touched her nose, “It might be a bit early to say thank you… I think it’s necessary for me to reintroduce myself. We have accepted Rowan Walt’s commission as her legal representatives. Please take care of us.”
