The Blacklist

Chapter 10: Killing Two Birds with One Stone Finally Achieved

The three of them rushed to the door of Campo's lounge in the hotel and found Reddington's bodyguard Dembe guarding the door. Elizabeth immediately raised her gun and ordered, "Open the door!"

Dembe opened the door with the room card, raised his hand and stepped aside.

The three rushed in and saw Campo standing in the middle of the living room, while Reddington was sitting at the round table in front of the window, and the two did not touch each other.

Seeing them come in, Campo immediately acted very nervous and said, "Elizabeth, thank God you are finally here! This is the man who wants to kill me!"

Elizabeth comforted her, stepped forward to Reddington, and asked, "You hired this 'freelancer', what are you going to do?"

Donald pointed his gun at Reddington, and Mira stepped forward to protect Campo. At this time, Dembe also walked in, pulled out his gun and pointed it at Donald. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Elizabeth ignored what was happening behind her and continued to question, "Do you want flowers and applause? How do you want the news headlines to be written?"

"'An Italian dog was born with two heads!' No, that's not good!" Reddington said without panic, "How about the title "Philanthropist commits suicide after being exposed for fraud"? "

"What did you do?" Elizabeth felt something was wrong and immediately turned around to look at Campo.

"I didn't do anything." Reddington stood up and bent over to smell the flowers in the vase on the table. "I guess the killer put barbiturates in her champagne, the same ones she used to poison women and children."

Elizabeth didn't understand what was said and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"This woman is not what you think." said Reddington.

"You're a liar!" Campo said angrily. Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly swayed and fell to the ground. He grabbed his neck with both hands and opened his mouth, but he could no longer scream...

"Call a doctor quickly." Elizabeth shouted, squatting down to check on her condition.

Hearing this, Mira hurried out to find someone, while Donald looked at Reddington and Demby vigilantly.

Reddington looked at Campo and said coldly: "Who is lying? Floriana, tell me and I will give you the antidote!"

"Give it to me quickly! She's not breathing!" Elizabeth cried anxiously.

Reddington also realized something was wrong at this time. This happened too quickly! He took out a syringe from his suit pocket, but found that he didn't need to pass it over!

Elizabeth had found a pen on the table and was about to puncture Campo's trachea and force ventilation, but she found that her pupils were dilated and she was dead! She stood up and stared at Reddington fiercely.

Donald on the side finally had time to speak: "Reddington, you actually killed someone in front of us!"

"NO!" Reddington denied, "I just said that the killer put the barbiturate in her wine."

"Even if that's the case, you are the instigator!" Donald said, "Before his death, the 'Freelancer' said that you hired him." "Oh, is the 'Freelancer' dead?" Reddington said, "That's great, people like him really deserve to die, what do you think, Donald?"

Donald frowned and ignored him, still holding the gun. Dumby next to him was also alert.

When Kerry walked in, he saw the tense situation and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's going on? Why did you start a fight?"

"Campo is dead." Elizabeth looked at him and said, "It must be Reddington who did it."

At this time, Mira, who had gone out to call a doctor, ran back. Seeing this situation, she had to make another phone call and said that the white car didn't need to come and let's change to a black car!
"Hey, Auditor Carrey, how are you?" Reddington said with a smile. "Although I don't mind killing this hypocritical two-faced person, the largest slave trader of women and children in the Eastern Hemisphere, and the mastermind behind the Eberhart Group, this is really not my doing."

Elizabeth, Donald, and Mira couldn't believe what he said, and the former said directly: "I don't believe you!"

"I think it's possible." Carrie said, "I once heard that a department of the IRS investigated Campo's charitable foundation and suspected that the flow of some funds was abnormal..."

"Why not investigate further?" Elizabeth asked.

"I heard that a big shot called to help," Carrie said. This was actually his guess. With such a large amount of capital flow and profits in the Eberhart Group, it is impossible for those behind-the-scenes organizations not to be tempted; and Campo, a woman, would never be able to control such a large criminal group without a backer.

"But even if that's the case, Reddington can't hire someone to assassinate her privately!" Elizabeth's voice had actually become softer.

"I think Raymond has no other choice! Because there is no way to bring Campo to court through normal channels." Carrie said, "I think Donald and Mira should understand this."

Although Donald and Mira were reluctant to express this opinion, they still nodded, acknowledging that what Carrie said made sense.

Although Elizabeth didn't fully understand, she knew there must be something hidden. However, she still insisted: "Even if I can approve of using abnormal methods to deal with heinous criminals, you have no way to prove Campo's crime now, so Reddington's behavior is still unforgivable!"

Reddington opened his mouth, but found that he had already said everything he needed to say. He really had no evidence now, so he could only spread his hands to express his helplessness.

But Kerry said, "Raymond, can you be sure that you had a more in-depth conversation with Campo before Donald and Elizabeth came in?"

Reddington nodded and said, "That's right. The face she showed to me was not what Agent Keane and the others saw."

"That's good!" Carrie said, "I think I should have evidence." As he spoke, under the puzzled gazes of the three people, he took two steps forward, bent down to take a look, and took a small object from the back of the chair where Reddington had sat before. He smiled and said, "This is a small gadget that the IRS often uses. Although it can only record for two hours, I think it should be enough!"

The three were very surprised. Reddington couldn't help but ask, "Agent Carrey, when did you install the bug?"

"Calculating the time, it should be before you came in!" Carrie said as he plugged the gadget into his phone. "I originally wanted to check if Ms. Campo was suspected of tax evasion, but I didn't expect it to have other uses..."

The other five people present all glanced at him sideways, and the meaning was obvious: If we believe you, we would be fools!
