The Blacklist

Chapter 186 Halcyon Shield Company
Carrie took two steps forward, sized up this guy who was always arrogant in the original plot, raised his hand and slapped him. With his current hand strength, even if he didn't use his full strength, it was far beyond that of others. This slap directly sent Solomon flying. While he was still in the air, a mouthful of blood and two teeth spurted out!
He fell more than two meters away and landed hard on the ground. Solomon felt as if he had been hit by a car. His whole head was buzzing and his left face was numb. He didn't even feel the pain of two teeth being knocked out! At this moment, he even forgot what had happened before!

Dembe and the SLR team that followed in were also a little confused - could a slap in the face be so severe? Manager Carrey had such strength...

Only Gina was not surprised. With her current ability, she could do this if she tried her best, but she couldn't do it so easily!

"Take them all back." Carrie waved his hand, referring to Solomon and several of his men who had been subdued and knocked down outside. Then, he turned to Dembe and said, "It's okay, the child has been found. You take people to take Ellie to SLR. Let them stay on the ninth floor for the next two days. When this is over, I will arrange a place for them."

"Richard, thank you!" Dumby said gratefully, and immediately got up and ran out.

An hour later, Solomon, who was locked in the detention room, finally woke up completely. He recalled what happened before and felt deeply scared. Although he didn't know the identity of the man just now, he knew very well that if the other party wanted to kill him, it would be very easy! He had been walking in the hail of bullets for more than ten years before, and he was really scared this time!

Looking at the surroundings, it was obviously a detention room of a law enforcement agency. The first thing he thought of was naturally the FBI special operations team that had recently received widespread attention in the domestic media circles. He even knew that its code name was SER, and that it had a close relationship with Reddington. But what he couldn't understand was why this department found him so quickly?

His guess was correct, this really was SER's detention room!

At this time, in the command hall, the new supervisor Donald and a group of SER members were watching Solomon in the surveillance video. Although half of his face was swollen and looked pitiful, they lost their sympathy when they thought that this man actually threatened Dembe by kidnapping a baby. If they thought about it more carefully, if Carrie hadn't rescued him, who knows what would have happened afterwards!
Donald naturally looked down on this kind of person and said in a bad tone: "Liz, Nawabi, interrogate this guy carefully and find out who instructed him to do this?"

Elizabeth had a very good relationship with Dumby, so she was naturally unhappy with this guy's behavior. Upon hearing this, she said, "Don't worry, I will interrogate him carefully!"

Although Nawabi did not say anything, she nodded heavily. Even as a Mossad agent who was used to seeing life and death, she was extremely disdainful of the man in the detention room and would not show mercy.

But just as they began the interrogation, they were stopped by the new DOJ Deputy Director Cooper who came in a hurry!

Then, Cooper called several key subordinates to his office and said, "This Mastin Solomon is the operations director of Halcyon Shield. Halcyon (Greek, meaning calm) is a professional PMC (private security) company founded by Howard Hargreave. It is actually an outsourced military intelligence agency of the Ministry of Defense, specializing in some secret military operations that cannot be made public..." What does that mean? Everyone was stunned. Could it be that this person kidnapped Dembe's granddaughter to follow the orders of the Ministry of Defense?

Cooper continued, "This is something Wright only learned after he took office as National Security Advisor. Therefore, we cannot interrogate this person now... Someone will come to pick him up in a while."

Everyone was unhappy, and Elizabeth asked directly: "Are you just going to let this criminal who kidnapped a baby go?"

"Of course not!" Cooper smiled and said, "I have already informed Richard, and his auditors will come and take this guy upstairs in a while. They say they want to check the tax issues!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed. Cooper, who was so serious, even knew how to joke!
Solomon in the detention room saw the two female agents who had just interrogated him being called out. He immediately knew that it was the company that intervened and that he would be able to get out soon, so he relaxed and acted carefree. He didn't care about the two guards next to him at all and even started to joke with them...

But the next moment, he was stunned - four operatives wearing combat masks came in, put a black hood on his head, gagged him and dragged him out. Just as he was about to resist, someone punched him on the back of the head and knocked him unconscious, with no sign of mercy at all!

When Solomon woke up again, he found himself locked in a new detention room. It didn't look much different from the previous one, but he was sure that this was not the same place! He didn't know how long he had been unconscious, and he had no idea where he was now, so he began to panic.

Carrie had Solomon sent to SER first to test the attitude of the company behind him, and then sent him to SLR because he wanted to meet the people of Halcyon Shield in person and see what this brave and vast PMC company looked like in front of him - this was a test for him to decide to integrate more deeply into this world.

During the afternoon working hours, a deputy director of DOJ came to SER with two men in suits, presented the main documents of the department, and asked to take Mastin Solomon away, but they were told: the person had been taken away by the special department of IRS, and they didn’t know why!
Although the deputy director of DOJ was surprised, he just needed to put down his hands since it was none of his business. However, the two senior executives of Halcyon Shield were confused. They could only call back to the company and report to the big boss. As for causing trouble here, they didn't dare to think about it!
In the president's office of Halcyon Shield, the current head of the company, Susan Scotty Hargreave, frowned after receiving the call. How could the IRS be involved in this matter?
After asking the two senior executives of the company to come back first, she called DIS (Defense Investigative Service) and asked if there was any special department in the IRS that could extract people from the SER directly managed by the DOJ?
Ten minutes later, she got the answer and was so angry that her nose was crooked - the special department of IRS was called SLR, which was located on the floor above SER. Its department head was a director-level IRS special auditor who also served as the deputy director of SER!

From this point of view, whether it is SLR or SER, it is obviously intentional!
