The Blacklist

Chapter 201 If You Dare to Shoot, I Will Shoot Missiles

Javelin 5K is an extended-range anti-tank missile developed by Lockheed Martin in 2007. Its range was increased from 2500 meters of the ordinary Javelin to 5000 meters, and its weight increased by 4 kilograms to 19.9 kilograms. As a result, it was eventually abandoned by the Pentagon.

There were two sample missiles of this type in the warehouse of weapons that Reddington gave to Carrie. Although they were land-based models, no one stipulated that they could not attack speedboats at sea!

The "Sea Elf" drew an arc and half passed the bow of the enemy yacht. Standing on the third deck, Kerry locked onto the fleeing speedboat in the distance. He pulled the trigger and the 115cm long and 13.2kg missile was pushed out of the launch tube by the takeoff engine at a low speed of 30m/s...

After 20 meters, the solid-fuel rocket engine at the tail end of the missile started, and the missile body began to climb, quickly increasing to a cruising speed of 220 meters per second. The 128×128 focal plane infrared imaging detector array at the front end locked onto the target that was set up in advance, guiding the missile to automatically track and select the trajectory and pounce on the target!

About 15 seconds later, the Javelin 5K flew to a height of meters above the speedboat, which had already run more than meters. The warhead turned downward, increased its speed again, and swooped down...

With a loud bang, the three-meter-long speedboat was blown to pieces - the Javelin missile can even blow up the main battle tanks of various countries, so blowing up a fiberglass speedboat is nothing, provided it is within the range!

Maybe they were frightened by the sight of the missile bombing the speedboat, but when Gina, Elizabeth, Donald and others boarded the enemy yacht, the remaining three gunmen immediately raised their hands in surrender - at this time it was confirmed that the one who was blown to pieces in the sea with the speedboat was the sniper.

Things were a bit troublesome afterwards, because missiles were used less than 20 nautical miles from the coast. The Coast Guard, upon receiving the alarm, dispatched as many as six small frigates and high-speed missile boats to surround their two yachts!
Fortunately, both SER and SLR are high-level law enforcement agencies, backed by the two powerful DOJ and IRS. After some somewhat lengthy inquiries and verifications and taking of statements, they were released by the Coast Guard.

During the period, an episode was: Where did the experimental "Javelin 5K" anti-tank missile come from? However, Kerry refused to answer this question because it was suspected of being confidential. With his current level confidentiality clearance, the Coast Guard really couldn't ask it again!

They were originally planning to have fun for two days, but such a big incident happened in less than a day. Everyone had no choice but to take the three prisoners back home. Solving the case was the most important thing first!

After returning to the post office base, Carrie interrogated him in person and obtained two important pieces of information without much effort:

First, the three captives and the two people he killed were all gunmen of the German Vokkens criminal group, whose leader was Charlie Vokkens;

Second, the sniper was not a member of their group. The group's boss Charlie asked them to cooperate with him in carrying out the assassination mission. They only knew that this man was a professional killer and that the target this time was Agent Keane, but the origin of his name was unclear.

A criminal group and a professional killer suddenly appeared, targeting Elizabeth, and they were so anxious to follow them out to sea to assassinate her. This matter is a bit strange no matter how you think about it!

Everyone was confused. At this time, Reddington, who heard the news, rushed over with Dembe and joined the discussion. After hearing about these situations, he actually had some clues.

"This matter is indeed a bit strange. I know that the Vulkans Group is an emerging organization that originated in Germany and has now expanded its 'business' to all parts of Europe. It mainly engages in underground casinos and underground boxing matches..." Reddington said, "But why would they cooperate with a killer to assassinate Liz? I don't understand this matter. However, I will investigate..." "Wait a minute!" Carrie suddenly said, "I remembered something... Well, let me make a call first!" As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number. After the call was connected, he said: "Tom, what was the name of the European you told me to check before?"

"Charlie Walkens," Tom answered.

That's right! Kerry breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What did you find out?"

"I just got some information, and it's still being confirmed..." Tom said, "Charlie Walkens is the brother-in-law of 'Wolf Spider' Kara Kurt, and now controls a criminal group!"

"Come back with the information." Carrie said, "We were attacked while out at sea today. People from the Vulcans Group were involved. There was also an unidentified sniper who was targeting Liz."

"Ah?" Although the marriage was a thing of the past, Tom's feelings for Elizabeth were not fake. At the very least, she was an unforgettable ex-wife. When he heard that she had been attacked, he immediately became anxious, "I'll be back right away!"

"Keep it confidential. Someone may be monitoring the post office," Carriedo warned.

Among the people who heard him making the phone call, only Donald knew something, and no one else knew, so Carrie explained the situation.

At this time, Abby, who was taking the sniper bullets found on the yacht for inspection, ran to the command hall, holding up the identification report in his hand, and said loudly: "I have found out the users of these two bullets..." As he said that, he stepped forward and pushed Alam aside, and directly put the report in his hand on the big screen with his computer and scanner.

Abby pointed to the picture on the big screen and said, "These two bullets are definitely fired from the same Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle, with a caliber of 12.7mm. The bullets are specially customized, and the words 'Psalm 1:1' are engraved in relief on the bottom of the bullet... You know, this is a quote from the Old Testament of the Bible, 'Do not follow the counsel of the wicked'...

"I have checked the FBI criminal database. There is only one sniper who uses this custom bullet. His nickname is 'Snow Monster'. This person calls himself a vigilante and acts independently. It is said that he chooses his targets from online news. So far, he has committed dozens of crimes without missing a single one, but no one knows his true identity.

"However, I think that the claim of 'Yeti' that he is 'not employed by anyone and only works for justice' is just self-boasting, because the M82A1 anti-material sniper rifle and customized bullets alone are worth a lot of money. I don't believe that he is a rich second-generation with an overflowing sense of justice who will take action without any benefits..."

Once this gothic girl starts to speak, she speaks like a machine gun, fast and dense. Although she says all the necessary information, she also adds a lot of her own personal opinions, which makes people laugh! But her cheerful personality makes everyone like her, and she is doing very well in the post office building!
