The Blacklist

Chapter 170 Who is the target of the conspiracy?
In order to unite more available forces, Carrie asked Mira to be responsible for contacting Oeok, and let its two supervisors participate in the plan to a limited extent. Of course, they could not be allowed to leave the ninth floor.

At this time, Elizabeth came specifically to ask this question. Although she did not think that these two people had any clues, Carrie asked her to come here, as if she was very confident.

After confirming that the man in work clothes who delivered the bomb to the Russian-European base was "Wolf Spider", Patrick knew he was wrong. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he said, "Marshall, give her the recording!" Then he got up and left the room. He was going to organize his men to re-examine the intelligence about "Wolf Spider" to see if there was anything missing.

Marshall Musk knew that the boss was too embarrassed to admit his mistake, but saying this was the same as admitting that he was wrong, so he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Agent Keene, we have a Russian informant who appears to be a tough conservative. He now runs a Russian restaurant in Washington, D.C., and some foreign spies often visit him... He gave us a recording last night using a secret code, and we haven't figured it out yet..."

Elizabeth was very surprised. She looked at Mira beside her and they both thought: There really is a clue?
In the SER command hall, everyone listened to the recording played on the USB flash drive repeatedly. In fact, apart from the ambient noise, the only useful thing was one sentence: "We have successfully achieved customization and can start the second phase."

After hearing it many times, no one understood, so Donald said, “Liz, when Musk gave you the USB drive, didn’t he specify who was speaking?”

"No, they haven't investigated yet." Elizabeth shook her head.

Kerry stood up from his seat and said, "Abby, Aram, analyze this recording carefully and see if you can find any other information in it.
"Mira, Nawabi, put on some makeup and go find that informant of Oouko and ask him one thing: the details of this recording, including the environment, time, and callers. The more detailed the better.

"Tang, you and Liz go find Dumby and check out the temporary residence of the Wolf Spider to see if you can find any new clues..."

After receiving the order, everyone went about their business. Carrie looked at Elizabeth who was about to leave. She gave him a look that said "I understand" and then went out with Donald.

In the underground parking lot of the post office, Elise from SLR led a group of people and quietly set off, following Donald and Elizabeth's car...

After the field staff left, Cooper sat in SER's office to coordinate all parties; Carrie and Gina returned upstairs and were ready to respond at any time.
-
Donald and Elizabeth's destination was the intersection of 63rd Street and New Jersey Avenue. Although they knew that it was impossible for them to stay in the apartment there after the explosion caused by "Wolf Spider", they still thought it would be a good idea to go and take a look.

Just as the two men's car left the post office, a middle-aged man with ordinary looks made a phone call in a car parked on the street: "The target has set off." Because he lowered his head to make the call and didn't look at the street outside for a few seconds, he didn't see two low-key gray vans following the target car.
-
Ten minutes later, an internal confidential phone call came to Cooper's office. FBI Deputy Director Mike Shessman informed him that DHS had forwarded urgent intelligence: DCPD (Metropolitan Police Department) had found the credit card used to purchase the explosive truck and found that the card had just been used to purchase a train ticket to New York at Union Station in Washington, DC...

Cooper hung up the phone with a sneer, notified Carrie upstairs first, then called Donald, told him the "information", and asked him and Elizabeth to go to Union Station to investigate the suspected target; then ordered the SER field operations team to send a team to the station to support the two...

Everything was done according to standard procedures.
-
Donald, who received Cooper's call, turned the car around and said to Elizabeth beside him: "The boss called and Deputy Director Shessman of the General Administration provided information that 'Wolf Spider' appeared at Union Station and bought a ticket to New York..."

Elizabeth nodded and got ready. Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at Union Station and entered the ticket hall. They wanted to go to the police station to check the surveillance video, but suddenly saw a person wearing a hoodie walking in the distance. The figure looked like a "wolf spider", so they chased after him first...

After checking several people in succession, none of them was the target. There were many people in the hall at that time, and the two of them could no longer see each other after they were separated by a distance!

Elizabeth saw a hooded man walking quickly not far away, so she immediately chased after him. Just as she turned around a large pillar, the hooded man turned around and bumped into her, knocking her to the ground. She was dazed for a moment, and when she looked up again, the hooded man had disappeared!

Donald ran over, helped her up, and asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

"No." Elizabeth touched her painful forehead and said, "It seems that Wolf Spider knocked me down just now..."

"Hmm?" Donald was a little surprised. "Did you see it clearly?"

Elizabeth shook her head and said, "It happened too suddenly. I didn't see it clearly."

At this time, the SER action team arrived to support the police and searched the station, but no suspects were found! In the end, everyone had to evacuate, but before leaving, they copied a videotape from the police duty station and took it back.
-
Soon, all the teams that had gone out on missions came back and held another meeting in the SER command hall.

Abby and Aram were the first to report that there were no more clues in the recording.

Nawabi, who went to find the informant, said: "Anton Virov, the owner of Ninoska Restaurant, was a member of the former Soviet Internal Security Forces..."

Mira, who went with him, took out a receipt and said, "This is a dinner receipt provided by Vilauf. The person who signed it is Leo Andropov. The recording should be a conversation between the guests at this table. Vilauf said that there were two people dining at this table."

Nawabi said: "We have reason to suspect that the person dining with Andropov was Kara Kurt."

At this time, Abby, who had already searched for relevant information in the database, raised his hand and said, "This Andropov was once a famous child prodigy in the Soviet Union. At the age of 16, he published his first and last academic paper in an authoritative academic journal. The content was about targeted gene viruses... After that, this person disappeared from the public eye. Intelligence shows that he entered the Soviet Ministry of Defense and engaged in biological weapons research. He is a dangerous person!"
