Chapter 1200: The Murder of Beckett's Mother (Last Day for Double Monthly Tickets, Please Order More)
Although he had no impression of the plot of Beckett's mother's case, Jack at least remembered that a great man seemed to be involved in the end.
Therefore, out of caution, he persuaded other friends to stay in Margrave and chose to return to New York alone.
Although the possibility is not great, if there is any problem on his side, both Jiejie and Hannah have channels to contact the corresponding people to help.
Although it is not advisable for Calabash Brothers to save Grandpa, there is also a saying that it is offensive and defensive. Now Jack has no friendship with those low-level gangsters, and he has some connections in both the military and the intelligence community.
In addition, Zoe, the newly promoted female senator, although she is not firmly established now, she is also considered to have someone in the political circle.
So under normal circumstances, as long as Jack doesn't think about assassinating the president and being caught on the spot, not to mention walking sideways in this North American territory, at least there shouldn't be too many people willing to provoke him.
The one who came to the airport to pick him up was Danny Reagan. Although the hairline of this tough detective moved up a little more obviously, his complexion was quite good.
The previous foot injury indirectly made this guy take a long vacation. Now his waist and legs are no longer sore, he doesn't walk crookedly, and even the black eye bags have disappeared a lot. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"So what happened?" Jack still traveled lightly. Because he was going back to New York, he simply threw a change of clothes to Hannah before boarding the plane, and then left the airport with one hand in his pocket.
Danny changed his car to a square-headed Wrangler Jeep, which was quite in line with his usual tough guy image. After fastening his seat belt, he sighed and started the car.
"To be honest, I still don't understand what happened. Your friends in the 12th Precinct and the writer are all silent about the cause of death of Police Commissioner Roy Montgomery. They are vague about what happened that night, and just insist that he died in the line of duty.
My father is very angry about this, and I hope you can take over the investigation of this case in person."
"Thank Frank for me, I will give him an explanation later." Jack took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Cassel, asking him to meet with Beckett.
Although Danny said that his father was very angry, Director Reagan obviously helped in this matter, at least helping to suppress the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The report said that Police Commissioner Roy Montgomery was unfortunately shot while chasing a fugitive named Hal Lockwood the night before, and died in a helicopter hangar in the suburbs of Long Island.
In addition to the police commissioner himself, there were also four bodies of gunmen left at the scene, including the fugitive named Hal Lockwood.
After the on-site inspection by the NYPD forensic team, it was confirmed that the four gunmen were all killed by Commissioner Montgomery's sidearm and an old police revolver hidden in his left ankle holster.
No one knows what happened at the scene, although the report claims that Commissioner Montgomery exchanged fire while chasing the fugitive Hal Lockwood, and both sides died in the end.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong with this matter. It doesn't make sense that a dignified commissioner not only chased the fugitive himself, but also appeared alone in the hangar in the middle of the night in an emergency.
Beckett and Cassel were the first to appear at the scene after the accident. Before contacting Cassel, he submitted some relevant case materials to Frank as required by Jack. The NYPD chief immediately realized that something was wrong.
Fortunately, Frank helped suppress the case for Jack's sake, or kept it low-key for the time being. Otherwise, Beckett would not be sitting in Jack's kitchen eating noodles and crying, but would be invited to drink coffee by the NYPD Internal Affairs Department.
He fried two soft-boiled eggs for the lively partner next to him. Kevin and Esposito were obviously also insiders and participants this time. Jack knocked on the table and looked at the four people in front of him with a stern face.
"Who of you is willing to speak first and tell me what happened?"
The four looked at each other, and finally the eyes of the other three fell on Cassel.
"Why me?" Mr. Writer was surprised.
"Of course it's because of your profession." Jack waved his hand to signal him to stop talking nonsense and quickly explain.
It can only be said that Cassel's mouth is as sharp as his pen. It only took him an hour to explain the whole story clearly.
The story started with a gang burglary murder case they handled last year.
At that time, an Irish gang member named Jack Coonan was assassinated. He belonged to a declining old-school Irish gang active around Hell's Kitchen.
This West Gang Alliance prohibits any drugs except "American herbs" from appearing in their territory, but recently someone has been selling heroin there.
Jack Coonan is the strongest thug in the West Gang Alliance. He wanted to eradicate those drug dealers who violated the taboos on the orders of the boss, so he contacted the FBI after finding evidence, but he didn't expect to be killed in return. The drug dealers killed him in advance.
Dramatically, the person behind the drug dealer was actually Jack Coonan's brother Dick Coonan.

This ruthless guy is a businessman and philanthropist on the surface. In fact, since he retired from the army, he has been using his former connections to process opium grown in Afghanistan into heroin and then transport it to a certain East Asian international port, and then package it into advertising videotapes and transport it to New York.
In order to cover up the truth, Dick Cunanan killed his own brother with his own hands.
When the forensic doctor Lannie examined the wounds of the deceased, she accidentally found special stabbing marks, which were exactly the same as the wounds left on Beckett's mother after she was murdered.
As a result, Cassel and Beckett discovered Dick Cunanan's third secret identity. He was once a professional killer with the alias Rathbone, and he was also the real murderer who killed Beckett's mother 19 years ago.
Of course, he was just following orders, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was someone else. However, because Dick Cunanan tried to kidnap Cassel and escape from the police station at the time, he was accidentally shot dead by Beckett, which interrupted this clue.
Beckett's mother was murdered in an alley more than ten years ago. Her death was the driving force behind Beckett's determination to become a policeman.
After so many years, Beckett had almost given up hope of finding out the truth, but Dick Cunanan, the murderer, unexpectedly appeared after so many years.
However, God seemed to have deliberately played a bad joke on Beckett. He had clearly sent the murderer to Beckett, but at the last moment, he forced her to shoot Dick Cunanan and personally closed the door to the truth.
