The Blacklist

Chapter 151 Reddington’s True Purpose
"What's the problem?" Reddington asked, but he remembered what Carrie said not long ago.

"Let me take you to see it!" said Julian.

Julian takes Reddington back to his and Lean's former home and tells him that he has been deceiving Roger with fabricated test data and using his funding to test how to treat frontal lobe injuries in the hope of curing Lean's injuries, but all the tests over the years have failed and there is no hope at all...

After saying that, he actually took out a revolver from a drawer and shot himself!

Reddington was speechless. This result was really unacceptable to him, but it seemed to be the best result for Roger!
Sure enough, Roger was very happy after receiving the latest news. Julian's "suicide out of fear of crime" covered up all the previous things! For this reason, he made a special appointment with Reddington and was very satisfied with his "successful completion of the commission and the creation of the illusion of Julian's suicide". He claimed that he owed him a favor and asked him to make any request...

After returning to Washington, Elizabeth found Reddington in the SLR and angrily accused him of kidnapping Julian!
Reddington already knew how to deal with Elizabeth's sense of justice, so he immediately admitted that he asked SER to investigate the case in order to find Julian, but the actual target had always been Roger Hobbs - using the FBI investigation to put pressure on Roger, and then helping him solve the problem, so that Roger would owe him a favor... This was extremely important for his future plans! -
Almost at the same time, Cooper at SER received calls from several acquaintances. This time, they were all very enthusiastic and praised him for being a good friend. They said that if they had any problems, they could just talk to them and they would definitely help if they could, and that they were all good friends, etc.!
This situation left him confused and it took him a long time to figure it out. He couldn't help but feel angry, furious and helpless. His resentment towards Reddington was greatly reduced - this is how the world is. Even the DOJ and the FBI are like this. How can we still ask the "Red Devil" to be a good person?
After learning the outcome of this case, others were also speechless, but living in this country and working as employees in the public sector for a long time, they got used to it and soon put the matter aside. Everyone should just do their own thing and live their own life!
Carrie understood the whole story, but he didn't take it seriously and didn't think too much about it - for him, this kind of thing could be recorded in a small notebook. It would be fine if he didn't know about the evil deeds done privately by a wealthy man like Roger. Once he knew, there would naturally be a chance to deal with him. Let him help Old Lei first and live a little longer!

Although he did not go out to investigate the case, his combat partners (Elizabeth) and quasi-combat partners (Donald, Reddington, Abby) were directly involved and earned some crime-solving points. Although it was not much, it was better than nothing, and it was an extra gain! ——
On the 20th, Carrey asked Gina to transfer the tax payments of Reddington, Babbitt, Hassan and others, nearly 600 million, to the IRS tax account, completing the main task of this month. However, he felt that it was a little less and affected his image, but he thought that he had paid too much in the past two months, so this was not bad, so he put it aside and did his own thing.

During this period, he became interested in science fiction writers in this world, and he bought books from Amazon according to the sales rankings and read them, which he enjoyed very much. Moreover, his new habit also influenced the people around him. Gina, Elizabeth, Abby and others began to pick up the books he had finished reading, and he made full use of the novels he bought without wasting them.

“A simple life makes people happy!” One day, Carrie was lying on the sofa in the office reading a book when she suddenly said this. Gina and Abby, who were drinking tea and chatting nearby, heard it. After being stunned for a moment, they all burst into laughter - they felt that Carrie had been a little obsessed with reading during this period!
Their loud laughter startled the emotional Kerry. Seeing the two of them laughing and falling on the sofa, he also understood - how could he say such a thing? Thinking of this, he also laughed.

At this moment, Gina's cell phone rang, and it was a very nice ringtone - this was due to the unanimous request of everyone. Carrie had to modify a batch of large-screen confidential smart phones according to everyone's aesthetic standards, among which music playback and camera functions were the key points, and they were very popular among these ladies.

The call was from Dembe. Reddington had just given Elizabeth a new blacklist target and asked him to tell Carrie that this case should have "money prospects".

Ever since Carrey revealed Reddington's hidden purpose last time, the old man has been avoiding him. He probably feels that he can't keep secrets in front of him and feels bad. This time, he even sent the message to the blacklisted people through Dumby, which shows how much he doesn't want to talk to him. Carrey just found it funny and didn't take it seriously.
-
Speaking of which, this case is also quite bizarre - several entrepreneurs who have been killed or imprisoned recently, although they are all guilty and deserve bad luck according to official reports, Reddington believes that they were framed by a woman! This woman will spend a long time designing traps, and when the target falls into the trap, she will not only take away his property, but also destroy his reputation, freedom and even life.

The most recent unlucky victim was an investor named Declan Salinger, who was found drowned in the bathtub of a hotel room from a drug overdose. After investigating the deceased's computer, forensic personnel from the FBI's Washington, D.C. branch discovered that a huge amount of money in his personal account had been withdrawn at the time of his death.

Cooper asked Donald and Mira to visit the deceased's wife, and Elizabeth and Nawabi to talk to a Wall Street fund investment manager who had been sentenced to prison after his sentence was commuted.

In prison, Conway, who is still serving his sentence, recounted his case: he had an extramarital affair with a temporary female worker named Claudia, and he didn't know when she got his password and other information. Six months later, the woman disappeared, and the client funds in his investment account were transferred to a shell company and disappeared. He had packed luggage in his car and flight booking information on his computer. All signs proved that he wanted to run away with the money... So, he couldn't explain himself and was found guilty!
Donald and Nawabi got more information from Salinger's wife: because she suspected her husband of having an affair, she had hired a private detective to follow Salinger, but she still knew nothing about the woman. She only obtained some fingerprints, a disposable phone number, and some selfies in Salinger's mobile phone...
