The Blacklist

Chapter 182 The Investigation Process Was Full of Twists and Turns

In the SLR office, Carrie saw Elizabeth's performance and couldn't help but said: "Harold, how is it, I did a good job teaching Liz, didn't I?"

"Tsk!" Cooper had already been "led astray" by him, and would despise him upon hearing his words, "Your plan is very risky. It's a good thing that Liz and the others executed it well. Otherwise, if it goes wrong, you and I will all have to go to jail! Humph, if I had known that you would make such a big deal out of it, I wouldn't have messed with you..."

"Hahaha..." Carrie laughed happily, "Harold, it's too late to talk about this now. It's easy to get on the boat but hard to get off. Don't you understand this principle? Hey, I remembered something. Mira and you seem to have something wrong. Is your second spring coming?"

"Go away...don't talk nonsense!" Cooper blushed and hurriedly evaded the question.

"Okay, I won't ask!" Carrie said, "Then why should I attend your wedding banquet?"

"Ahem..." Cooper choked, stood up and walked out, "I'm going to take a rest for a while, don't call me if there's nothing else!"

Looking at his back, Carrie smiled happily.

In court, Elizabeth continued, "After our analysis, the reason why Wolf Spider first attacked the Russian and European offices was, first, to draw the attention of law enforcement agencies to the inspection and prevention of explosives, and to cover up its real means; second, to move the real target of the attack to a public place, that is, St. John's memorial service...

“However, there are dozens of high-ranking personnel who will attend the memorial service, and we still cannot determine the enemy’s specific target.

"Six days ago, the day before the memorial service, we received a tip from FBI Deputy Director Shessman that a suspect who looked like a 'wolf spider' appeared at Union Station, so we went to investigate...

"In the station, I was attacked by a suspect..."

When Elizabeth said this, Katie played a surveillance video of the station lobby on the big screen. Everyone saw a hooded man suddenly rush out from behind a pillar, knock Elizabeth to the ground, and then run away.

"Afterwards, we captured a photo of the suspect from the video..." Elizabeth said, "The person you see now is the suspect, but he is not Wolf Spider!
"After identification, it was confirmed that this person was Leo Andropov, a former KGB virus weapon manufacturing expert! Afterwards, through the efforts of our technicians, it was confirmed that the speaker in the previous recording was him!

"Then, we found the specific address of the recording, which was a restaurant, and confirmed that there were two people dining there at the time, one was Andropov and the other was 'Wolf Spider'!
"A virus weapon manufacturing expert and a high-level action agent came together, plus the previous sentence 'customization has been successfully achieved, and the second phase can begin', let us confirm that the final attack method of 'Wolf Spider' will be virus weapons!"

Hearing this, the audience and the TV viewers all felt the excitement of the twists and turns, and became more interested in what would happen next! "According to the information provided by the informant, we found Andropov's underground laboratory..." Elizabeth pointed to the pictures played on the big screen, "You can see that this virus expert is indeed making biological weapons...

"Based on the experimental records found in the laboratory, we have determined that they have successfully developed this biological virus weapon and have undergone a practical verification...

"With the help of the CDC, we found a case of abnormal death that occurred at a university the day before the Russian-European explosion. The deceased was a college student..."

The photo of the dead college student was shown on the big screen. He didn't even hit the horse, and appeared on the screen with blood coming out of all his orifices.

"This college student suddenly fell ill on campus and died within minutes!

"According to the tests of experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it was infected with a very special rotavirus, which is harmless to humans under normal circumstances. Even everyone here will be infected once between the ages of five and ten, and then will recover on their own and will never relapse. But this time it has become a murder weapon!
"After research and analysis by virologists, this is a virus attack that only targets individuals, or a customized biological attack weapon. The previous attack was just an actual combat verification..."

"Hoo!" Not only was there an uproar in the courtroom, but the people watching on TV were also frightened - such a bizarre way of killing! Who could escape?

"We investigators were also very scared at the time, but since such a terrible murderer appeared, our duty is to catch or eliminate him and prevent him from continuing to harm people!" Elizabeth said firmly.

There was warm applause again, and everyone looked at her as if she were a hero.

"The situation was urgent at the time. We didn't have time to hunt down Wolf Spider and Andropov who were in collusion with each other. Instead, we had to determine who their target was?" Elizabeth said. "During the investigation, we found that the first college student to be killed was related to Senator Mel Hawkins... This allowed us to lock on Wolf Spider's target."

Most people at the hearing only understood that Senator Hawkins was the target of the attack through blood relationship, and did not think much about it, but some senior civil servants and media reporters thought of an old incident more than a decade ago - it was revealed that Hawkins had an extramarital affair with an assistant in his office and had an illegitimate child! However, that incident has passed, and the senator paid a heavy price at the time, so it is meaningless to mention it now.

What was played next on the big screen was the live video of the church attack. People saw how Elizabeth and others rescued Hawkins, but the senator's facial features had already started to bleed when he got into the car. It was horrifying!
This time, before Elizabeth could speak, the prosecutor spoke first: "Just now, I and everyone else heard the wonderful story of Agent Keane, and we all agree that she did not murder 14 CIA agents, but the fact that cannot be denied is that it was the virus she carried that attacked Senator Hawkins, leaving him in critical condition..."

He then presented a series of evidence, including the virus test reports of everyone at the scene, including the arrested Russian spy "Wolf Spider" Kara Kurt, among whom only Elizabeth was confirmed to be a carrier of the virus!
The courtroom became noisy again. How could this be explained?
Judge Denner did not stop everyone's discussion immediately. Instead, he looked at Elizabeth who was still standing calmly in the dock, and thought to himself: What a pity, this girl must have been framed!
