The Blacklist

Chapter 181 The Genius Profiler Has Something to Say
Wright's loud words made everyone in the court react. Yes, sending the ownerless body to the explosion site, although the purpose was to confuse the murderer and replace the fourteen CIA agents, it was illegal after all!

Judge Denner took the immunity document, read it carefully, and ruled: "This immunity document was signed before the explosion, and its purpose was to solve the terrorist attack case. Although it has certain flaws from a legal perspective, its purpose and result is to save 14 government employees. This court decides to approve it. The federal agents and related persons involved in this matter are not guilty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause in the courtroom. This was a rare event in a court trial! For a moment, Judge Denner was a little confused. After waiting for nearly a minute, he said loudly: "Keep quiet, the trial continues. The defendant... Um, Agent Keane, you can continue your statement."

Carrie, who was watching the live broadcast at SLR, waved his hands fiercely. This was a not-so-small loophole in his previous plan. If someone kept harping on it, it would be very disadvantageous to the people involved in the matter. Now, with this court ruling, those "interested people" could use it to do evil in the future. This was actually very important.

Elizabeth nodded to Judge Denner and continued, "The operation that day was actually very thrilling. After leaving the Oeko base, my two colleagues and I discussed the case at the door for a while before leaving. This bought some time for the special operations personnel of our department to evacuate the agents in the base and send the body in. This took less than a minute and a half!"

Wow...! There was another round of exclamations at the scene. Was it so thrilling? Many people had a new understanding of the cruelty of the anti-terrorism battlefield, and they felt more sympathy for the federal female agent who was being tried in court at that time.

"Fortunately, we succeeded!" Elizabeth smiled. "The car bomb that Wolf Spider sent to the scene exploded as planned, and the entire Ouko base was destroyed... After checking the surveillance video of the area, it was confirmed that Wolf Spider left only after seeing the house being blown up not far away. This tells us that the plan was successful!"

Although they knew the matter was not over yet, everyone in the courtroom applauded again...

This time, Judge Denner did not call a halt.

After a pause in the applause, Elizabeth continued, "Afterwards, our department secretly transferred 14 CIA agents from Russia and Europe to a safe house. In the following days, although these 14 outstanding agents could not leave their new location for the success of the entire plan, they still used their professional skills to find the most likely location for Wolf Spider among the mixed intelligence...

"After the hard work of my colleagues, we finally found the trace of 'Wolf Spider'. When it was meeting with another horror, we did everything we could to get a recording...

"Your Honor, I request that this recording be played in court!"

"Granted!" Judge Denner was already immersed in the "story" at this time, so how could he stop it!
A female USSS agent took a USB flash drive from Wright and handed it to the court clerk. Soon the recording was played, but among the dozens of recordings, most of them were noise. Everyone in the court only heard one sentence: "We have successfully achieved customization and can start the second phase."

Now, among the crowd, except for a few people, no one among the hundreds of people understood what this sentence meant.

At this time, Wright stood up again and applied, "Your Honor, because the follow-up matters are somewhat complicated, we apply to provide relevant video and photo materials to assist Agent Keane's self-defense. Please grant it."

"Approved!" At this point, Denner was no fool. He knew that this court had become a big stage. He and everyone present had become actors in a live TV broadcast. He had no choice but to agree. However, he was not angry with either party because the matter was too strange and he was eager to know the answer. At this time, Kerry in SLR was also greatly relieved. Knowing that the matter was basically settled, he ordered: "Gina, call Elise and keep an eye on Hitchin. Don't let her run away!"

"Understood." Gina agreed and took out her cell phone...
-
In the courtroom, Katie, who was sent by the SLR, came in carrying a laptop. The USSS agent on duty in the court not only greeted her with a smile, but the female agent and the clerk also stepped forward to help. Soon, the screens on both sides of the courtroom appeared...

Elizabeth pointed at the photo of the hooded man on the screen and said, "Look, everyone, this is the image captured by the surveillance camera outside the station one minute after the explosion of the Ouko. The man in the picture is the Russian spy Kara Kurt, the Wolf Spider, who carried out the car explosion...

"Soon after, we got the recording we just heard, but after analysis, we found that it was clearly recorded before the explosion, which means it wasn't about the explosion. So what could it be?"

At this moment, it seemed as if all the audience in the courtroom and in front of the TV were participating in a guessing game. Countless people had countless answers, all waiting for the mystery to be revealed.

Elizabeth continued, "We successfully avoided casualties from the explosion, but we still haven't figured out what Wolf Spider's ultimate goal is, which makes us very anxious...

"During the subsequent brainstorming, we discovered a security loophole. That is, after the previous explosion, 14 government employees were 'killed' in the attack. The government must have held a formal mourning ceremony, and senior officials from the political, military, and intelligence circles would have attended. This was the best time for terrorists to attack..."

Hearing this, everyone thought of the attack on St. John's Church.

"Yes, everyone has thought of it, that is the church attack!" Elizabeth confirmed everyone's idea, "But at that time we were thinking: with so many senior officials gathered together, what if the enemy launched another explosion?"

As soon as this question was raised, there was an uproar in the courtroom and the audience in front of the TV were also horrified. According to official news, there were 14 senators, 23 congressmen, 11 military generals, more than heads and supervisors of various government departments, dozens of victims' family members, and hundreds of people from all walks of life present at the church. If there had been a bomb attack... no one dared to think about it anymore!
Elizabeth waited until the scene had quieted down a bit before saying, "According to our analysis, there is a possibility of another explosion, but the probability is extremely low because it would be too difficult to carry out a second explosion attack!"
