According to the official investigative report, or rather the Reagan family's knowledge, Joey Reagan died in a raid on the scene of the drug dealership, and he was ambushed by two drug dealers and killed on the spot.

However, this is not the case in the suicide note of his partner Lena Gonzavis, who claims that Joey was with Detective Malewski at the time, and that she had only seen three bodies at the scene when she heard the gunshots.

Detective Malewski, the only one alive, insisted at the time that he killed two drug dealers on the spot after ambushing Joey, though Lena Gonzavis didn't seem to buy it.

Obviously, the existence of the "Blue Templars" is not a big secret within the NYPD, and Lena Gonzavis is aware of this, and not only begins a private investigation, but also leaves behind her.

This suicide note is the biggest harvest of Jubal and Hannah's secret investigation in the past few days, although the content of the suicide note is only some speculation and lacks substantial evidence, but after she was killed, the evidence is obviously not so important.

Frank Reagan read the suicide note expressionlessly, handed it to the old man Henry Regan, who had long been wearing reading glasses and waiting on the side, and turned his head to look at his youngest son with a little disappointment in his eyes.

"Since the FBI had already found you, why didn't you tell us in the first place?"

James Reagan was stunned by the cold eyes of his old father, and he couldn't help but stutter when he spoke, "Because Joey was also . I'll hide it from you, too."

In fact, on the way home, he was thinking about how to explain this to his father, and it would be definitely too much to say that he really thought that his father Frank also had a part in the murder of his brother Joey.

When this sense of guilt came to his heart, Frank Reagan had no desire to continue to blame his youngest son, not to mention that according to Jack's previous statement, James Reagan rejected Agent Ryan very decisively.

"It all started with the darkest time of the NYPD in the last century." The former director of the NYPD, Henry Regan, put down the suicide note in his hand, let out a long sigh, and began to tell his little grandson about the past.

James Reagan glanced at Jack, "I must admit, I am grateful to Jack, he made me let go of the boulder in my heart all along, this matter is really not something I can fight alone." ”

But whether it was the FBI's mysterious operation at the time, or some legends about the "Blue Templars" that he heard from his grandfather Henry Sr. since he was a child, it was inevitable that he would have some conspiracy theories.

To explain this term simply, when a certain bad behavior or culture is prevalent in a social group, those who stand up to expose or raise objections will become ostracized and become the target of attack.

This remark made the Reagan present look a little gloomy, although the younger son's reason was a little naïve, but it was also reasonable, the most important thing is that except for this little son, none of them had ever had a trace of doubt about Joey Regan's death.

"After Shepico's whistle and a series of disturbances that followed, we founded the Blue Temple, a secret society that had a bad reputation in the police force at the time, and although there were not many people involved in corrupt practices, most of them would remain silent about it for various reasons."

Shepico was an ordinary police officer in the NYPD at the time, and after he came forward to expose the corruption that was prevalent within the NYPD at the time, he became a "whistleblower" in the eyes of the police officers and was severely targeted.

As he spoke, he looked at his father Frank and grandfather Henry again, "What is the origin of that 'blue temple'?" ”

James Reagan made an effort to swallow to make his words a little more fluent, "I think this may be a revelation, an urge to carry on Joey's legacy, and I want to use my ability to win the honor my brother deserves." ”

Henry said it very tactfully, even a little evasively, in fact, the name Shepico in his mouth is well known in the United States, and even gave birth to a proper name, called the Shepico effect.

In the most dangerous case, Shepico was set in a trap by his police colleagues, shot directly in the head during an anti-drug operation, and then left where he was, waiting to die.

Thanks to an ambulance called for him by a nearby Hispanic man, Shepico was able to save his life, but some of the shrapnel remained in his brain forever and permanently deaf one ear.

His plight then sparked a storm of public opinion across the Federation, and the NYPD's reputation became stinking during that period.

"We have united a group of people who share Shepico's sense of justice and think it would be a good thing to have such a group of brothers to help keep an eye on the internal situation.

At first, this was the case, but over the course of more than a decade, thanks to the efforts of the Blue Templars, some of the black sheep were cleared out, and the NYPD's reputation gradually recovered. ”

Henry Reagan took the whiskey from his son, and his expression changed to sigh, "But after the core members of the former team retired, the 'Blue Temple' gradually became a veterans' club, and everyone only occasionally got together to talk about the battlefield experience. ”

As a second-generation police officer in the Reagan family, Frank Reagan followed his father's words and said, "After I became an NYPD, I was out of place with those people, and it was a whole senior club." ”

Then there was the third generation of police officers in the Reagan family, and Danny continued, "By the time I entered, the Blue Temple had indeed added some new blood.

Just when I thought we could regain the faith of our ancestors, it turned out that it was just a bunch of big talkers, sitting in a strip bar and bragging about free bully wine, so I quickly quit. ”

Frank's words were filled with remorse, "Later, when I first became chief, I worked with the Ministry of the Interior to conduct a thorough assessment of all types of 'fraternity' organizations in the police department, including the Blue Temple.

But we didn't see anything worth noting, and I think I just saw what I wanted to see. ”

After speaking, he took a deep breath, wiped his face vigorously, and wiped the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, not wanting people to see his old tears.

After listening to the words of the three of them, not to mention James Regan, even Jack's expression was a little more strange, good guy, after a long time, this "Blue Templar" relationship is a fraternity club.

Maybe there was a bit of a legendary past, but it was also more than half a century ago, and that Agent Ryan led a group of people to secretly investigate for more than two years like a great enemy. That's it?

But all this seems to make sense, Lao Mei seems to be particularly interested in conspiracy theories such as secret societies, but after saying it, it seems to be the same thing.

For example, the Freemasonic symbol made of compasses and rulers that Jack saw at 22 Mott Street before seemed terrifying, making people feel that the legendary Freemasonry seemed to be pervasive.

But to put it bluntly, Freemasonry was originally a guild organization of lower-class stonemasons in the Middle Ages, which was mixed with a little religious nature.

When Hongmen Zhigongtang entered North America, it cooperated with the Freemasons at that time, and even directly used their English names and logos.

Of course, this can't be underestimated, at least in terms of organization and secrecy, this group of corrupt cops is very tight, and the death of Joey Reagan and his partner also shows that these guys are at least ruthless enough to even dare to attack the son of the director.

Frank Reagan apparently thinks the same way, "Can the FBI keep this matter a secret for the time being?" ”

Of course, Jack can only nod, Dana Morge has gone to Washington to ask for the guilt in the past two days, and this matter is currently under his full responsibility, and the members of Agent Ryan's team are not much different from being in prison now.

As for Agent Ryan herself, the only time she left the federal building these days was when she appeared in the NYPD police department tonight to make a perjury on behalf of James Reagan before the Department of Internal Affairs.

"In addition to the original investigation team, there are no more than five FBI agents involved in the investigation in the past few days, and the only people who know the inside story are Hannah and my immediate superior, Jubal, who knows the inside story completely." He said.
