The Blacklist

Chapter 213 Does the truth of the incident really matter?
It is naturally not the USSS's turn to worry about ordinary cases, but this does not mean that it does not have the power of investigation and law enforcement.

Among the nearly 30 federal departments with law enforcement qualifications, there are different priorities when exercising corresponding powers according to different fields, and the USSS's law enforcement level is the first level, or even the only first level! In other words, if it wants to take direct action, it can intervene in any case of any department.

Of course, the USSS will not do this, because firstly, they are too busy, and secondly, there is no need! The first job of their department is to ensure the safety of the president, followed by the vice president and the outgoing president. They also have to protect the safety of the White House, the presidential villa, Air Force One, Marine One, Army One and other official residences, residences, and transportation. The number of agents is barely enough, and they don't have the energy to take care of other things.

However, the previous attack was directly aimed at the President, and the USSS could not just ignore it, so Jackson took the opportunity to come to SLR to communicate with Carrie and discuss the case with him.

Knowing that Jackson was Wright's ally, Carrie didn't intend to hide it from him and told him his judgment: "Taylor, before we found you, we found a pickup truck in the woods of Bellolin. There was a homemade rocket launcher on the truck..."

"What does this mean?" Jackson was a little confused.

"This shows that the object launched into the air and threatening the 'Sea-Land One' helicopter was not a real surface-to-air missile..." Kerry explained, "The wreckage found later also proved this point. What flew into the air was just a simple homemade rocket with a maximum ceiling of only 1500 feet. It had no warhead or explosive charge... In other words, it had no actual damage, only sound, light, and video effects!

"So, we can conclude that when the 'Sea-Land One' flew over, the terrorists launched a homemade rocket from the woods. The helicopter's defense radar system regarded it as an incoming missile, so it quickly changed direction to avoid it and headed for the only emergency landing point nearby. Most of the terrorists were lying in ambush there, ready to control the presidents of the two countries in order to achieve their goal of coercing the two governments..."

After hearing his story, Jackson finally had a clear understanding of the whole incident and nodded: "Richard, if it weren't for your explanation, I really wouldn't understand this matter. It's a bit complicated!"

"Hey! It is a bit complicated, but this is also the helpless move of the terrorists." Carrie said, "Tyler, you are the first deputy director of the USSS, you should know very well that in Washington and its surrounding areas, it is basically impossible to get real missiles and prepare for launch, especially the target is the president!" He added in his heart: Unless he takes action!

Jackson heard this and nodded in agreement.

Kerry added: "It is now basically certain that the terrorists who carried out this attack intended to use similar deception methods to make the 'Sea-Land One' mistakenly believe that it was attacked by missiles, so that it had to land at a safe point and evacuate from the ground. Their purpose was to kidnap the president in the process. If successful, they would use this to coerce the government to gain benefits. However, they do not want to or dare not do it to the extreme because they cannot afford the consequences!"

Jackson's eyes lit up as he listened. He nodded and admired in his heart: Consultant Wright has always praised the case-handling ability of Kerry, the special audit director of the IRS. Now it seems that his political vision is also outstanding!
In fact, there is one important fact that Kerry did not mention, that is, the person who directly planned and directed the implementation of this operation was Eric Haswell, who left enough loopholes in this operation and sent all the Hamas members who followed him into the United States to die, and he himself did not appear in the operation at all!
During this process, Eric's performance was very contradictory. On the one hand, he helped plan the entire conspiracy, but on the other hand, he was sending these terrorists on a path of no return, and even he himself was in danger of being captured and destroyed!

Today is the last day of 2015. After what happened before, it is not easy for the presidents of the United States and Israel to go to Camp David again. After leaving SER in the evening, they were escorted back to the White House by additional USSS agents.

Before leaving, the US President praised the SER agents and promised to find a time in the early New Year to invite them to the White House.

The Israeli president encouraged Nawabi, saying that he did a good job in joining SER in a private capacity, which greatly strengthened the close cooperation between the law enforcement agencies of Israel and the United States! To this end, he specifically promised that Nawabi would have the power to act independently during his stay in the United States and would no longer be under the command of the Mossad headquarters to avoid affecting the relationship between the two countries.

After seeing off the two presidents, their entourage and a large group of followers, SER finally calmed down. Everyone looked at each other and felt that this reception work was more tiring than going out on field missions!
Donald waved his hand and said, "Everyone has worked hard today, let's go now! Well, tomorrow is New Year's Day, everyone can have a day off, but please keep the communication open..."

After that, after arranging the holiday duty personnel, Tang De prepared to leave and go home, but when he entered the elevator, he suddenly pressed the button for the eighth floor. Three minutes later, when he pushed open the door of Kerry's office, he saw that all his key agents were here!
When everyone saw him coming in, they all burst into laughter...

That night, all the backbones of the two departments held a full-scale dinner in the large restaurant on the ninth floor... Well, Tom, who had been entertaining special tasks outside, also came back!
After previous efforts, Tom has successfully joined Halcyon Shield, and with the success of several operations, he was promoted to the head of the company's security department, and has been on par with the head of the operations department, Mastin Solomon!

After learning about the pain of the company president Susan losing her son, Tom himself began to have doubts - judging from the age, time, and the event itself, he felt that it was increasingly related to his own life experience?
With this thought in his mind, Tom was clearly out of form during the dinner and seemed a little depressed!
Carrie naturally noticed this, and he even figured out the reason. However, he would not tell it to Tom yet. Instead, he was ready to wait for Tom to come to him himself. If he was smart enough, he could really give him some pointers. Now it depends on whether he can figure it out!
His future plan for Tom is to let him master the Halcyon Shield and turn it into the peripheral power of SLR. Now it depends on how long it takes him to do it!
