The Blacklist

Chapter 197 Is the Magic Lamp Fairy Tale True?
Gina and Nawabi rushed out of the office with a group of action team members and ran into the building diagonally opposite...

Alarmed by the gunshots, Elizabeth and others who had just found the bullet in the warehouse behind the plaster wall, the action team members on the street, and the local FBI and police were all on high alert. Many of them turned around to look at Carrie who had just put down his sniper rifle in the office, wondering what had happened.

Soon, everyone here received the news: a sniper was shot dead in the head on the tenth floor of the building opposite!

Afterwards, the sniper rifle and the newly found bullet were sent to the local FBI for identification...

Half an hour later, the identification results came out. This gun matched the bullets found twice and was confirmed to be the murder weapon!

This means that the murderer who shot and killed the Navy petty officer and injured the FBI special agent was shot dead!
The Navy NCIS agents, DOJ SER agents, FBI local branch agents, Baltimore Police Department agents and others who were involved in the case at the scene were all confused and amazed - the lead agent of the SER team was shot and injured yesterday, and then a new supervisor came to take over the investigation. Less than two hours after the start of today, this supervisor shot and killed the murderer in the building across the street in his office, and the case was closed! ! ——
Before noon, Gibbs, who was lying in the ward of the Navy Memorial Hospital, saw several of his men coming over. He said in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to investigate the case?"

"Boss, the case has been solved. The murderer was shot dead by Manager Kerry!" Tony spread his hands.

Huh? Gibbs was stunned. It broke already?
-
On the other side, Carrie and everyone else had already started their return journey.

Unlike everyone else's unanimous amazement, to him, this case was just a trivial matter. The fact that the case was solved so quickly was largely due to coincidence. There was nothing to be proud of. The reward he received was also pitifully small, a new low.

"Complete trigger mission 45, kill the murderer Keller, and be rewarded with 220 crime-killing points."

Before the beginning of September, Donald was seriously injured and had to recuperate. Carrie had to take charge of SER affairs again. Fortunately, he was used to being lazy now, and his agents had grown up. He basically didn't have to worry about the daily work of the two departments, so it was not too busy.

More than ten days later, Reddington finally came back. When he asked him to have dinner in the evening, he told him that Vladimir Witson, Deputy Minister of the Russian Customs Department, had been dealt with - his cold turned into pneumonia and he was allergic to the drugs during hospitalization!

After investigation, it was found that the man was not behind a secret society. Reddington suspected that it was an underground consortium called "Patel Day", but there was no evidence. Later, he introduced to Carrie that this consortium was the largest arms supplier in the underground world, and had business connections with almost all large underground organizations and criminal groups, and was extremely powerful.

Reddington suspected that the other party was targeting him this time, so he prepared to fight back and asked Carrie to protect Elizabeth.

Kerry knew about this consortium and thought about how Reddington would fight back, so he became interested - this was a huge amount of resources! However, there was no need to reveal it for the time being. He took his time and tried to arrange it perfectly so that he could have a big annihilation war.

After dinner, Dembe took his daughter and granddaughter and followed Reddington. The follow-up had naturally been arranged so that Ellie and her daughter would not be in danger again. Reddington had been away for nearly a month, and this was also a reason for arranging this matter.

On Monday, September 9, Reddington forwarded a blacklist target through Elizabeth: "The Genie"!
In the SER command hall, Carrie organized a group of agents to listen to the case report.

"In the past three years, a person named 'Genius' has appeared in the underground network." Elizabeth pointed to an open URL on the big screen and said, "This is the website where 'Genius' accepts applications from people seeking help. It's similar to a real-life role-playing virtual community game. As long as the person seeking help enters and finds 'Genius', makes a request, and pays enough money, he will get help and realize his wish..." Everyone immediately understood the meaning of this "Genius", which was obviously taken from the fairy tale of Aladdin in "One Thousand and One Nights" - the god in the oil lamp helps people realize their dreams.

Alam, who had been ordered to search for relevant information, projected some clippings onto the big screen and explained, "During these three years, a princess from a European country was kidnapped, insulted, and abandoned outside the emergency room. A notorious poacher was locked in a lion cage and died. A drug dealer was kidnapped, dissected alive, and his internal organs eaten... None of these cases have been solved yet."

Elizabeth said: "Reddington believes that these three cases were solved by the 'Djinn' with the help of the people seeking help. I believe there will be more similar cases that have not been discovered or linked to the 'Djinn'."

Wow! That's so bad! Everyone felt a chill.

Gina, who usually only came with Kerry, suddenly said, "So this 'Djinn' is actually a hired killer who gets paid to do the job!"

When everyone heard this, they thought it was true, and they all thought of Gina's background and couldn't help laughing.

Kerry also laughed and said, "He's just a hired killer. Check this 'Djinn'!"

He then arranged the division of labor among everyone. Alam tried to find a way to hack into the background of the website game and verify how many people had made wishes to the "Genius" in order to determine how many unsolved cases could be linked to it; this was done with the cooperation of Nawabi.

Elizabeth and Mira entered the website game through different IP addresses respectively. After registering an account, they looked for the "Geni". Whoever found the Genie first would make up a wish and try to make an appointment to meet him.

This time he did not arrange for SLR to participate, as SER had enough power. After that, he did not care anymore and took Gina upstairs, saying that he would not care about the process and would call him when there were definite results or action was needed.
-
After two days of hard work, Alam finally succeeded in entering the backend of the "Djinn" website, retrieved some data, and found hundreds of requests. He preliminarily determined that more than 40 of the requests had been responded to.

Nawabi compared the time of the unsolved cases retrieved from the FBI's criminal database with that of nearly thirty unsolved cases, so he asked Carrie to report.

After Kerry arrived at the command hall, Nawabi and Alam reported the situation to him. Alam said, "The severity of these cases varies, but they are all serious crimes. Because they are individual cases with different modus operandi, they have not been listed as serial cases by the FBI and are still in the hands of local police."

Nawabi took out two documents and handed them to him, saying, "These two cases are somewhat special. There is a special connection behind them..."
