The Blacklist

Chapter 14 The mysterious corpse appears

After quickly arriving at the underground parking lot, Carrie immediately turned on the detection function of his suit at full power and looked around. The data of the surrounding environment flashed quickly on the inner wall of the smart glasses on his nose...

Soon, he found two suspicious vehicles - a silver-gray flat-head van and a blue sedan parked dozens of meters away and in opposite positions. Both vehicles were not turned off and the drivers were sitting in them!

Kerry immediately ran and rushed to that location...

The blue car reacted quickly, started and rushed out immediately, driving out of the parking lot without any hesitation!
The van was slow to react and was hit by two bullets from Carrie on the front right wheel. It then slammed into the pillar next to it. Then the door of the cab opened and a man in black jumped out. As he got out of the car, he pointed his pistol towards this side, but before he could fire, he was shot in the chest by two bullets and fell to the ground with his back facing the sky!
Kerry looked towards the exit of the parking lot and confirmed that he could not catch up with the car. Then he took out his cell phone and called Elizabeth... After the call was connected, he immediately asked, "Elizabeth, how are you doing?"

"Just finished!" Elizabeth's voice was a little breathless. "Two gunmen attacked the guards in the lounge and wanted to kidnap the witness... Tang and Mira rushed over and killed one and injured another... How about you?"

"I found their car in the underground parking lot and killed a driver..." Carrie said, "A blue car ran away. The license plate number is ML4237B."

"Understood. I will contact the base immediately and issue a warrant for the arrest of this car..." Elizabeth said, "Be careful. We will be down soon!"

After a while, the three of them ran down and came to Kerry's side. They were relieved to see that he was fine. Then they saw the van and the driver who was beaten to death...

Federal marshals and local police rushed over, followed by the FBI's Washington, D.C. branch. Soon, a large group from the post office also arrived, and the parking lot was filled with people and cars.

Donald took over the scene and asked the local police to chase the fleeing blue car, the federal marshals to protect witnesses, the FBI Washington branch to be responsible for the periphery, and the SER agents to investigate the scene. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Then, the four of them got together, summarized the situation, and basically outlined the whole incident!
It is now certain that the drug dealer Lorca, who was on trial today, arranged for the juror to fall ill, and planned to take advantage of the recess when the witness was going to the lounge to be alone to kidnap him, and then take a car to the underground parking lot to leave. The van should be used by the kidnappers to evacuate. The inspection just now has confirmed that there are handcuffs, nylon ropes, anesthetics and other items in the car. The blue car may be used by the commander...

Carrie actually knew that the person driving the blue car was the one responsible for dealing with the bodies, but this was not the time to say it.
-
Because such a big incident happened during the trial, the case was postponed, the witnesses were detained by federal marshals for protection, Lorca was imprisoned, and Elizabeth, Carrie and others had to go home.

After returning to the post office, Cooper listened to their report and realized that something was wrong. He remembered that Elizabeth had met Reddington before noon, so he asked her if she had heard anything.
Elizabeth naturally would not hide it anymore and said that Reddington had received a "business" yesterday. The drug lord Lorca had booked a full set of exit services after changing his identity, and the time would be tomorrow night.

"Call Reddington and ask him if he knows what happened in court today?" Cooper ordered.

Elizabeth agreed, but before she could take out her cell phone, she saw the iron door of the industrial elevator rise, and Reddington appeared there with Dembe, and shouted from a distance: "Elizabeth, I want to hear about your case..." Everyone moved to the command hall. Elizabeth briefly talked about the case of drug lord Lorca. She heard that 6 victims had disappeared in 109 years, with no body left, and now the only eyewitness confirmed that he saw his son being killed with his own eyes, but the body could not be found... Everyone felt a chill!
Reddington said with a serious expression: "This is the method of the 'Disintegrator'! He is a chemist who can use the prepared chemicals to completely dissolve the victim's body and flush it into the sewer, leaving no DNA or traces, truly destroying the body...

"For many people, as long as they can hire him to do something, they can guarantee that no traces will be left. This gives him an excellent 'reputation' and makes him very popular among certain groups of people!
"Well, I heard that this 'Corpse Transmuter' likes to collect trophies. If we find his true body and get these trophies, we can solve hundreds of unsolved cases at once...

"I think your special operations team should try harder. There aren't many opportunities like this where catching one person can defeat a hundred!"

Cooper was very tempted when he heard this, but he still said in a dissatisfied tone: "Reddington, you should talk about us now, not you. You also have an obligation to contribute to this matter!"

Reddington smiled and said, "Deputy Director Cooper, we have agreed before. I am only responsible for providing names and information, and you will be responsible for the rest of the work."

When Cooper was speechless, Carrie next to him said, "Raymond, this 'Corpse Transmuter' must have made a lot of money, and he definitely didn't pay taxes on time. I have to catch him. You have to help me, right?" He blinked while speaking, signaling to the other party: We have an agreement!

Now it was Reddington's turn to feel a chill. He waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I surrender. I'll ask my friends to find out about him and get back to you as soon as possible." After that, he turned and left without even saying hello to Elizabeth.

Dembe, who was laughing nearby, secretly gave Carrey a thumbs up and then followed him out.

Seeing Reddington fleeing in panic, "Hahaha..." everyone in the special operations team burst into laughter. They had always seen this Red Devil acting cool, but this was the first time he looked so embarrassed!
"Great! Richard, you will be the one to deal with this guy from now on!" Donald, who has always been dissatisfied with Reddington, said with a smile.

"I think so too." Mira immediately followed.

Cooper also said: "I think it's a good idea. From now on, Carrie should help Keane deal with Reddington, so that he won't get the upper hand every time!" It seems that he has been holding back on this sentence for a while, and he is full of opinions about the Red Devil.

Elizabeth was a little embarrassed. She knew that she was always led by Reddington when facing him, so she couldn't refute Cooper's words. She could only smile and couldn't say anything. She knew that she was still too young and a little anxious.
