The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

Lake had investigated Beckett's mother's case before, and even knew where the key evidence was. Likewise, 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 could do was to respect Beckett.

at the moment?

The time has come.

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

Second, who made Bracken mess with him in an interview a month ago?

The reporter of the Daily Bugle, Lake took the time to deal with it a few days ago, and the rest, Lake is not doing nothing, but if he does, Beckett probably won't be able to vent.

The post-autumn reckoning was written deep in Lake's memory. Although it is still June, but if you don't go so seriously, in fact, June is also the post-autumn day.

So it's time to settle the bill.

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

All right.

Cassell thought their investigation was still 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 unceremoniously that as long as Lake wanted to, he could directly shut down the sea, land and air in New York State with a single order, regardless of whether he had any evidence of terrorist attacks.

at this time.

Blonde Beckett also came downstairs.

at first.

Beckett's expression was still a little shy. After all, being smashed into her embarrassing side by a friend, but when Beckett saw Cassel looking at him, his expression changed.

"What's wrong?"

"..."

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

Beckett was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of Cassell's words. With a sigh, he looked directly at Lake.

Lake shrugged.

Beckett came over in a hurry, as disbelieving as Cassel: "How could it be?"

Lake looked at Baker: "Remember when George and I were secretly investigating behind your back, and then you found out that George and I were pulled by you to the training ground to blast hammers together?"

Beckett shook his head. "I don't think it was a hammer."

Lake shrugged: "Actually, George and I had reached a critical point in the investigation at that time. After being taught by you, George and I both expressed respect for your choice and gave up the case, but..."

Paused.

Lake laughed softly: "I have to confess to you one thing. After George and I promised you to drop the case, I finally did an investigation."

Beckett said solemnly, "That document."

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

Done.

Lake got up and walked outside: "I respect you as well now, but I can tell you that Cassel already knows about this clue."

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

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

"..."

Bang.

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

inside the room.

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

After all, Beckett is a loyal fan of Cassell. Not only Cassell's best-selling crime novels, but even those crime novels that hit the streets, Beckett has read.

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

Beckett's eyes lit up.

without him.

Beckett suddenly remembered that during the years in the New York Police Department, when Lake and her chatted, they would talk about a gift her mother had left her, asking about the value of the gift, whether it was a gift or not, and asking her if she fell. Or lost it would be bad.

Think about it.

Beckett looked at Cassell: "The police station, my office!"

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

upstairs.

When Lake came home, the 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 wine from the wine cabinet, and said with some puzzlement: "Why do you drink and drink until you sleep every time you come back, but you don't feel at all."

Lake smiled hey hey: "Want to know?"

Skye nodded.

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

Skye covered his forehead and thought back: "It should have been half a month ago, let's go to the supermarket to buy it together, I remember, this is 99 yuan bourbon, it's expensive, you used to drink forty Nine kind."

Lake twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's not important, the important thing is that I drank it for half a month, and there's still half of it, have you thought of anything?"

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

Skye thought for a while, and then, looking at Lake, seemed to feel a little uncomfortable: "You drink every day, but only half of it has been half a month?"

Lake smiled and nodded.

"How is it possible, when I see you, you have a wine glass in your hand every time."

"Correct, but I don't have a dull sip. Sometimes, when I raise my glass, I don't even drink it, just pretending I did."

"……why?"

"Drink, it's not wine, you know?"

Lake's eyes became a little deep, and he sipped the ninety-nine bourbon on the tip of his nose, looking at Skye and Alexis: "Drinking, drinking is an attitude, not anything else, you know? ?"

talking.

Lake directly used the force to swirl around the two little ones. After the healing force was withdrawn, the two little ones suddenly felt that they didn't seem to be in so much pain.

"what?"

"Clam."

Skye and Alexis felt the change in their bodies and looked at each other as if, as if, they were not feeling so painful.

Lake drank the bourbon in the glass, 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 because of the hangover suddenly disappeared under these words, and he snorted towards 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 shouted at Skye, as if to show that he would also help Skye.

in the library.

Lake sat down in his chair.

He said he wouldn't ground Skye for drinking before she was twenty-one, but he didn't say he wouldn't punish him.

After Lake was discovered by Karen at the age of 13 because of a hangover, Karen was the same as Lake punishes Skye today. As punishment, Karen asked Lake to clean up the pool in the backyard with the hangover.

Skye has been treated much better by Lake.

After all, Lake was cleaning the pool with his head that was about to explode because of a hangover back then, and Betty, who was five years younger than him at the time, was helping Lake by the side.

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

Many of Lake's educational concepts today were taught to him by Karen's words and deeds. This can be regarded as a kind of inheritance, of course, except for the education of the only one rebel.

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

Martha didn't stop Alexis from helping. After all, this was Skye's punishment, but it could also be used as a punishment for Alexis.

After all, the two little ones did something wrong.

If there is a mistake, admit it, this is the most basic issue of integrity.

but……

In the afternoon, after the two boys finished cleaning the swimming pool and changed to clean water, after jumping into the pool in their swimsuits, it seemed that the fatigue of the afternoon was gone, and they once again returned to a state of unlimited youth.

Cassel and Beckett.

When Beckett and Cassel arrived at the police station, there was no doubt that Beckett had also received her suspension order. Although Lake was not familiar with the current police department executives, he and the current local inspection system The high-ranking officials we know, we called together and investigated, but the local prosecutors stopped investigating. What the hell is the police station investigating?

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

next second.

With a bang, the relic fell to the ground and shattered. Then, a tape appeared in front of several people, and then the story came naturally.

night time.

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

"At about four o'clock in the afternoon, according to inside the NYPD, the District Attorney formally issued an order for the arrest of Congressman Bracken, who, according to reliable sources, was charged with conspiracy to defraud and the murder of Joanna Beckett. , has been arrested by Kate Beckett of the New York Police Department, it is worth mentioning that Kate Beckett is Joanna Beckett's daughter..."
