Fuwa Narumi's account went like this.
Originally, this should have been where it ended.
But Bandai and Hongchuan became increasingly demanding, even threatening her to take drugs out of the police station for them:

Even if she had the willpower to quit drugs, that did not mean she could resist truth serum.
