Chapter 1202 Conversation in the Backyard (Part 2)

After Jack briefly introduced how he and the NYPD chief worked together to eradicate the "Blue Templars" police gang, the three NYPD officers present all had shocked faces.

Even Cassel had the same expression, "No wonder when we were interrogating Gary McCallister, he actually put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look. Oh, by the way, he is John Raleigh." Grand's old partner from back then.

This cunning old guy actually deliberately provided false clues to mislead us when we first found him. "

Seeing that he was going further and further, Jack had to knock on the table to signal this guy to get back to the topic, "What did they do in nineteen years?"

"Black eats black." Beckett said in a nutshell, "At that time, there were five major gangs in New York who joined forces to run rampant, so they used violence to fight violence, kidnapping key members of these gangs everywhere. Imprisoned for a period of time and then extorted a large ransom.

One of the operations went awry, however, when John LaGrand and Gary McCallister, along with a rookie police officer, attempted to kill him in the back alley of a club called Sons of Palermo."

"'Sons of Palermo' was a gathering place for gangsters at the time." Cassel added.

Beckett continued, "They went awry when they kidnapped a gang member named Joe Bugatti, and there was an FBI undercover named Bob Amen who was there and tried to stop the kidnapping.

As a result, in the chaos, Bob Amen accidentally died at the gunshot of one of the black policemen, and Joe Bugatti, who was supposed to be the victim, became the scapegoat and was beaten into prison as the murderer. "

Hearing this, Jack had roughly figured out the ins and outs of these two old cases, "Years later, uh, almost seven or eight years later, Beckett's mother, as a civil rights lawyer, heard about Bob Amen's case. Unjust case and an investigation began.

Then, about ten years ago, when she was about to investigate the truth, she was murdered and silenced. She also died in the back alley of the Sons of Palermo club. After that, the other three insiders were also cleared and the case files disappeared. .

The person who did it should be Dick Cunanan, the professional killer who went by the pseudonym Rathbone, who was shot to death by Beckett more than half a year ago. "

Seeing several people nodding frequently, Jack waved his hand, "No, that doesn't make sense, John LaGrand and Gary McCallister are just two little police detectives.

Even if they make a lot of money from kidnapping and extorting gang members, I assume it's millions or even tens of millions of dollars. It's not a problem to hire a professional hitman with this kind of money, but they have to be able to clear up all the clues and even make the court files disappear. This is clearly beyond their capabilities.

There was obviously a mastermind behind them. When he learned that John Lagrand had contacted Beckett, he hired a professional killer named Hal Lockwood to snipe the opponent remotely in the cafe. "

"We thought the same way at the time." Cassell looked proud as if the hero had the same idea. "After we talked with Joe Bugatti, who had been in prison for almost 20 years, we found John Large again. Long's partner Gary McCallister.

This old bastard admitted everything, including the kidnapping and manslaughter, but when we asked about the real culprit behind the scenes, he kept his mouth shut and would rather go to jail than say another word. "

Jack sighed, "Don't tell me that you just sent him to prison and then turned around to arrest the professional killer Hal Lockwood. You don't think that opening the mouth of a professional killer is better than letting him go." Is it easy for an old criminal policeman who is greedy for life and afraid of death to speak? "

"Well, in fact, Kevin and Esposito had already found out the whereabouts of Hal Lockwood at that time, but something unexpected happened after that." Cassel tried to help the Huobao duo regain their respect.

"No, that's not important. No matter what the process was, you did capture Hal Lockwood afterwards, but it's obvious that neither the professional killer nor Gary McCallister spoke. "?"

There was an awkward silence in response to Jack's words. Some of the four of them looked at the sky, some drank tactically, and some stared at the plate of peanuts. The remaining one, Beckett, stared at the vegetable garden in the backyard in confusion.

After a long while, Cassell continued in a thin mosquito-creeping voice, "Not only that, but just a few days ago, Hal Lockwood killed Gary McCallister in prison."

"How did you do it?" Jack seemed to be listening to a fantasy. "How could you be so stupid as to lock a professional killer like Hal Lockwood in the same cell with an important witness like Gary McCallister?" It’s even the same prison area!”

"This is all my fault." Beckett said in frustration. "I applied for a separate isolation area for Hal Lockwood, but someone forged a transfer order and sent him to the general area a few days later."

Jack chuckled and glanced at the three NYPDs in front of him one by one.

"What's going on with you? Two professional killers in a row killed each other in the street, Kevin and Esposito were tortured and almost lost their lives. Isn't all this enough to show the seriousness of the problem?

You still insist on following official procedures. Do you need me to apply for a medal from Director Reagan on your behalf? "

Seeing that Cassel looked slightly guilty and wanted to help explain, Jack interrupted him before he could speak.

"Do you remember what we did when Alexis was kidnapped? Is it really because we were in Paris instead of our home country that we didn't need to follow the rules?"

"But the situation wasn't that serious at the time," Cassel was retorted by Jack's suddenly raised voice.

"Yeah, Hal Lockwood shot John LaGrande in front of you and Beckett, set a trap to catch Kevin and Esposito and almost killed them, and didn't care about their police identity at all.

But you still think the matter is not serious enough, right?" Jack felt that he was about to die of anger. He felt that these guys had some kind of mentally retarded aura when he was not around.

People didn't tell them any rules at all, and these people actually followed the procedures step by step when handling the case.

Jack was not in the mood to drink slowly from a small wine glass, so he just changed to the whiskey glass he usually used, and went back to the kitchen to get some ice cubes from the refrigerator.

"So, the guy behind the scenes has not taken action against Detective Beckett because of the relationship with Superintendent Montgomery, right? Could he be the rookie police officer who was taken by John LaGrande and Gary McAllister in the manslaughter case that year?"

Jack calculated the time and age, and felt that they should all match.
