The Blacklist

Chapter 202 Destroying the Crowdfunding Murder Website

"'Snow Monster', I've heard of this person." Reddington said, "It's just like Abby said, this person calls himself a 'vigilante', has committed many crimes, and has a great reputation in the underground world."

"Now that this 'snow monster' is dead, what should we do next?" Donald said with a headache.

Kerry smiled and said, "Okay, Lei, I know your background. The Yeti is dead, yes. If you can find the guy who made the customized bullets for him, take me to find him later!"

Reddington laughed and said, "It won't take long. I can take you there now!"

"We really have to wait a while!" Carrie said, "Tom has some information about the Walkens Group..."

Soon, Tom also rushed back with some information and reported: "Charlie Walkens, the leader of the Walkens Group, is the brother-in-law of 'Wolf Spider' Kara Kurt. After learning of her death, he vowed to avenge her. Because of Liz's high-profile performance in this matter, he set his revenge target on her..."

Now, all the clues match up!

Kerry nodded and said, "Don, you command SER to investigate the Walkens Group with all your strength, and Tom will cooperate with you. Gina and I will go with Lao Lei to investigate the guy who customized bullets for the 'Snow Monster', and the rest of the SLR will collect taxes and provide support! Humph! This time we must catch all those who dare to raise their claws against us!"

Then, Carrie directly rejected Tom's proposal to use his skills as a disguiser to infiltrate the Walkens Group for investigation. "What a joke! We are righteous law enforcers. Why do we have to go to such lengths to deal with an underground criminal group? If we don't know the target, there's nothing we can do. Now that we know the target, we will naturally strike with lightning speed! You just need to cooperate with Tang to find out the general situation of Charlie Walkens. Then we can go to Germany together and kill him directly!"

Hearing his domineering words, everyone in the command hall was refreshed and said in unison: "Understood!"

On Sunday morning, Carrie took Gina, Elizabeth and Abby, followed Reddington and Dembe, and found Zad, a weapon modification craftsman who was quite famous in the underground world, in a very hidden basement!

With Carrey's special interrogation skills, no one could keep secrets. After knowing the necessary information, he was too lazy to talk nonsense and shot him to death - because he already knew that this guy was not only a gunsmith, but also a killer with numerous crimes and blood on his hands. Why keep him? The others were stunned by his behavior, even Reddington was surprised - Carrey had killed many criminals before, but this was the first time he killed a criminal who had no ability to resist in front of them!
Kerry still cared about the feelings of the people around him, so he said, "Liz, go call Abby in and ask her to open Zade's computer and see what's inside?"

Although Abby is a technical director with civilian attributes, she likes Gothic style and is not afraid of dead people and blood. She decrypted the computer next to the corpse, retrieved the data in it, and found a special information - a crowdfunding murder website!
The crowdfunding model of this website is no different from other websites, but what is crowdfunded is the commission for murder!
The website will list out a "list of people to be killed". If netizens think that this person should be killed, they can choose to support and donate an unlimited amount of funds. The funds raised will be listed on the homepage of the website and will continue to accumulate. If someone can prove that they have killed the target, they can get instant crowdfunding funds!
Now the first "target to be killed" on this website is Elizabeth Keen, but the crimes listed are the two previous false accusations against her. As for the subsequent rehabilitation content, it is not listed at all, which is obviously confusing right and wrong!
Damn! Seeing this, everyone on the scene burst into swear words. This is a platform for hiring killers that confuses right and wrong! There is no supervision, no investigation, no justice... Even without any evidence, as long as the website controller publishes the names of people and lists the crimes whose truth or falsehood is unknown, and deceives netizens who do not know the truth to raise money for hiring killers, when the amount reaches a certain level, there will naturally be greedy killers to take the orders!
According to the declassified information, Zadeh who was just killed by Carrie was actually one of the two founders of this murder website. He was also responsible for manufacturing, modifying and selling murder weapons. Just look at the "list of achievements" listed on the website in the past year, and you will know how heinous this website is!
At this point, no one would think that it was wrong for Carrie to kill this person, but how should this matter be resolved?

Ignoring the looks from others, Carrie just looked at Reddington. The old man could only snort and said, "Demby, call Mr. Kaplan!"

When Mr. Kaplan, one of the top scavengers in the eastern United States, arrived with her team, the group had already left early, but Kerry, who was walking last, took away all the modified weapons and ammunition in Zade's inventory, which reduced the difficulty of cleaning up a lot.

Reddington and Dembe had guessed something about this, Gina and Elizabeth knew it well, and only the ignorant Abby was interested in Zade's computer that was moved to her car... Oh, or rather, she was interested in the weapon modification information on the computer's hard drive!
Of course, before researching the information she liked, Abby diligently found out that another founder of the crowdfunding website was called "Arioch Cain". However, because the website server was located abroad, it would take some time to find out the true identity of this "Cain".
-
After returning to the post office building, with Aram's help, Abby quickly found out that "Cain"'s real name was Gavin Delgado.

Because everyone else was busy, Alam volunteered to go with Elizabeth and the SER field team to capture Gavin and seize all his computer equipment.

In the subsequent interrogation, Alam was able to participate directly due to technical reasons, which made him very excited. He also learned some new things from Gavin, a computer expert who is an anarchist and advocates citizens' spontaneous law enforcement rights, which made him very happy.

Afterwards, with the joint efforts of Abby and Alam, all the hidden information of this crowdfunding website was found, and clues to hundreds of cases and information of dozens of killers were obtained. This was a considerable harvest!

Afterwards, Carrey turned his attention to how to eliminate the Vulkans Group in Europe. Many cases revealed by the crowdfunding website were handed over to Cooper and Donald, asking them to connect with the FBI headquarters. This credit was enough to stabilize SER's special status in DOJ.
