The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 281 Beckett's Obsession
Lake had investigated the case of Beckett's mother before, and even knew where the key evidence was. Similarly, he also knew the murderer.

but……

Just like when Lake was in the police station before, Beckett was very concerned about his mother's case at that time. As friends, all Lake and George can do is respect Beckett.

at the moment?

The time has come.

First, Kassel and Beckett fell in love, and Beckett was once again suspended because of this case.

Second, who made Bracken piss him off in an interview a month ago?

The reporter of the Daily Bugle, Lake took the time to deal with it a few days ago. It’s not that Lake didn’t do anything about the rest, but if he did, Beckett probably wouldn’t be able to vent his anger.

Settling accounts after autumn is written deep in Lake's memory. Although it is still June, if we don't take it so seriously, in fact, June can be considered after autumn.

So it's time to settle the score.

Cassel was stunned when he heard Lake's words: "You know me and Beckett..."

Ok.

Cassel thought their investigation was still a secret.

Lake smiled and drank the bourbon in the cup: "Please, who am I?"

Federal executives.

The Department of Homeland Security, the director of New York State, said bluntly that as long as Lake is willing, he can directly shut down the land, sea and air in New York State with one order, regardless of whether he has any evidence of terrorist attacks.

at this time.

A blond-haired Beckett also came down the stairs.

at first.

Beckett's expression was still a little shy. After all, her embarrassing side was broken by her friends, but when Beckett saw the look in Kassel's eyes, his expression also changed.

"what happened?"

"..."

Cassel turned his head and glanced at Lake who was sipping bourbon, opened his mouth, and then turned his head to look at Beckett again: "Lake said that he has evidence."

Beckett was taken aback for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Cassel's words, and with a slam, he looked directly at Lake.

Lake shrugged.

Beckett hurried over, as unbelievable as Cassel: "How could it be?"

Lake looked at Baker: "Do you still remember that George and I secretly investigated behind your back, and then you found out that George and I were dragged to the training ground by you to explode the hammer together?"

Beckett shook his head and said, "I don't think it's an explosive hammer."

Lake shrugged: "Actually, the investigation between George and I had reached a critical point. After being taught a lesson by you, both George and I respected your choice and gave up the case, but..."

Paused.

Lake laughed involuntarily: "I have to confess one thing to you. After George and I promised you to drop the case, I finally did a survey."

Beckett said in a deep voice, "That file."

Lake thought for a while: "I don't think it's a document. In fact, I know it might be evidence, but I haven't read it. As I said, I respect you."

Done.

Lake got up and walked outside: "I respect you the same now, but I can tell you that Kassel already knows this clue."

Beckett looked at Cassel for a moment, and the latter was taken aback for a moment, looking at Lake who walked to the door: "When did you tell me?"

"How the key to Agent Derek Storm's first case was discovered."

"..."

Bang.

After talking about the Derek Storm series created by Cassel based on himself, Lake went out directly and closed the door intimately.

inside the room.

Beckett looked back at Kassel: "I remember that Agent Derek Storm's first case was to investigate the cause of his sister's death, and it was also because of his sister's death that Derek Storm returned from the battlefield of."

After all, Beckett is a loyal book fan of Kassel, not only the best-selling crime novels of Kassel, but also those crime novels that hit the street, Beckett has read them before.

Kassel nodded, recalling the content of Derek Storm's series of novels, suddenly his eyes lit up: "Right, I remember I consulted Lake at that time, and the key clues were also written as Lake said, After all, what he said was very dramatic, and the key evidence of killing his sister was in a relic left by his sister to Derek Storm."

Beckett's eyes lit up.

Without him.

Beckett suddenly remembered that during those years in the New York Police Department, when Lake chatted with her, he would always talk about a gift her mother left her, intentionally or unintentionally asked about the value of the gift, and asked her if it fell Or it's not good to lose it.

Think about it.

Beckett looked at Cassel: "Police station, my office!"

Kassel seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Beckett who was already walking towards the door and said quickly, "Wait for me."

upstairs.

When Lake returned home, two hungover girls were already sitting on the high stool, each holding a glass of cold water. Lake walked over, smiled, and looked at the two little ones: "How is it?"

Alexis looked up: "Headache."

"Still dizzy."

Skye said a little sickly, then looked at Lake who turned around to get the wine from the wine cabinet, and said with some puzzlement: "Why do you drink every time you come back and drink until you go to sleep, but you don't feel anything at all."

Lake smiled hey: "Want to know?"

Skye nodded.

Lake touched his chin, pointed to the bottle of bourbon that was still more than half left, and looked at Skye: "When did I buy this bottle of wine, do you remember?"

Skye held his forehead and thought back: "It should be half a month ago, we went to the supermarket to buy it together, I remember, this is 99 yuan bourbon, it is too expensive, you used to drink the 49 bourbon of."

The corner of Lake's mouth twitched: "It's not important. What's important is that I drank it for half a month, and there's still half left. Did you think of anything?"

Whoever said that he only drank cheap wine before, he was obviously used to it, and he hadn't found a high-priced substitute for a while.

Skye thought for a while, and then looked at Lake with some feeling that something was wrong: "You drink it every day, but it's been half a month, and you've only drunk half of it?"

Lake smiled and nodded.

"How is it possible, every time I saw you, you held a wine glass in your hand."

"Correct, but I don't have a sip. Sometimes, I pick up the glass and don't even drink it. I just pretend that I drink it."

"……why?"

"Drinking, drinking is not wine, you know?"

Lake's eyes became a little darker, he savored the 99 yuan bourbon on the tip of his nose, and looked at Skye and Alexis: "Drinking is an attitude, not anything else, you know?"

talking.

Lake directly used the force to circle around the two little cats. After the healing force was withdrawn, the two little cats suddenly felt that they were not in so much pain.

"what?"

"Clam."

Feeling the change in their bodies, Skye and Alexis looked at each other and seemed, as if, to feel less painful.

Lake drank the bourbon in the glass, then poured himself a full glass, and walked towards the spiral staircase: "Skye, the water in the swimming pool outside should be changed."

The joy on Skye's face due to exposure to the hangover immediately disappeared without a trace under these words, and he said oh to Lake who was walking up the stairs.

Alexis looked at Skye: "It's okay, I'll help you."

Skye felt a little better.

Ibrahimovic jumped out and yelled at Skye, as if he was also showing that he would help Skye.

in the library.

Lake sat down in his chair.

He said he wouldn't ground Skye for drinking under 21, but he didn't say he wouldn't be punished.

After Karen discovered that Lake was drinking because of a hangover at the age of 13, it was the same as Lake punished Skye now. As punishment, Karen asked Lake to clean up the swimming pool in the backyard with a hangover.

Skye's treatment has been much better than Lake's.

After all, Lake was cleaning the pool in a daze with his head about to explode due to a hangover, and Betty, who was five years younger than him at that time, was also helping Lake.

At most, Betty, who was only eight years old at the time, had little strength.

Many of Lake's current educational concepts are taught by Karen through precepts and deeds. This can be regarded as a kind of inheritance, of course, except for the education of the only rebellious son.

That rebellious son, Lake is already very restrained as a transparent person.

Martha did not stop Alexis from helping, after all, this was a punishment for Skye, but it could also be used as a punishment for Alexis.

In the final analysis, the two little ones did something wrong.

Admitting mistakes is the most basic integrity issue.

but……

In the afternoon, after the two little ones finished cleaning the pool, put on clean water, and jumped into the pool in their swimsuits, it seemed that the fatigue of the afternoon had disappeared, and they had once again returned to a state of youth without limits.

Kassel and Beckett.

When Beckett and Kassel arrived at the police station, there was no doubt that Beckett had also received her order to suspend and cancel her job. The high-ranking officials know each other, they called together, and they still investigate, but the local prosecutors don't investigate, what the hell is the police investigating?

After that, it was Beckett who saw the relic left by her mother on the table.

next second.

With a bang, the relic fell to the ground and shattered. Then, a roll of audio tape appeared in front of several people, and then the story became logical.

night time.

Lake sat on the couch watching the evening New York news on TV.

"At about four o'clock in the afternoon, according to the internal information of the New York Police Department, the local prosecutor formally issued an order to arrest Congressman Bracken. , has been arrested by Kate Beckett of the New York Police Department. It is worth mentioning that Kate Beckett is the daughter of Joanna Beckett..."
