The Blacklist

Chapter 222 Blacklist Character Icebreaker
As the case progressed, more and more facts were revealed, and Carrie really didn't want to bother with the case for one reason: it was too dirty!

Mira and Nawabi led a field operation team to raid the St. James Asylum and found Dr. Meyer, who had been scalded to death by hot lead, in the underground corridor.

During the operation, several members of the Fimmer Society who attempted to resist were shot dead or captured alive.

Subsequently, information on numerous victims was discovered in the shelter, with levels of detail no less than those in the police files.

The subsequent autopsy was even more shocking - the bodies of the three members of the Feimer Society who were shot dead were hairless and castrated. Judging from the angles of the wounds, they must have castrated themselves!

The captured prisoner was named Harlan Holt, a former convict who had been sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually assaulting a minor. During the interrogation, he called himself the "Guardian of Innocence" and claimed that he and his companions voluntarily purified their impure thoughts, castrated themselves, and carried out God's will... But he remained silent about who provided the victim's information, and criticized the judicial system that refused to file a case even though there were eyewitnesses.

After reviewing the case files in detail, Elizabeth discovered that the child abuse information of some victims was simply forged, and someone was taking advantage of the fanaticism of the Philmer Society to achieve ulterior motives.

When Halt saw the evidence that Elizabeth produced, he realized that he was being used, and he gave out information about another hunting operation that the Film Society was preparing to carry out - James Wagner, who would attend a charity donation event at a high school that evening; and it was Father Richards who informed them of this information!
-
At this time, Reddington and Dembe found Gerald Sullivan in the wilderness - he was the biggest beneficiary of the murder of Weston and others!

Sullivan cried out that he was wronged, saying that he had seen some of his colleagues die one after another and was worried that he would suffer the same fate, so he ran out to hide in the woods in this cold season. Sullivan and the victims were all engaged in underground money laundering. Under Reddington's questioning, he confessed the competitor who was most likely to have done this.

All the information was reported to Kerry, and the final action must be decided by him! He asked the SER agents to step up their efforts and close the case as soon as possible.
-
That night, during a high school activity, Nawabi and his men captured James, while Elizabeth and Mira captured Father Richards in a nearby church. He was the mastermind behind the Philistines, who distorted the teachings of the Bible and used the name of religion to trick guilty believers into carrying out kidnappings and eliminating competitors, and used charitable donations to launder money for overseas gambling!

The case was solved, but the inside story made everyone uncomfortable. Justice, religion, humanity, lynching, and crime were all mixed in it, making people feel a little depressed!
After instructing the case to be handed over to the FBI's Organized Crime Division, Carrie asked everyone to take a vacation and change their mood before returning to work.

On Wednesday, Carrie, Gina and Elizabeth just arrived at the post office, only to find that Cooper had already arrived at SER in advance.

As soon as he saw him, Cooper said, "Richard, there's something we need to talk about."

Hmm? Kerry was a little puzzled, "Okay, let's go to the office!" This time he didn't go upstairs, but went to the supervisor's office on the second floor of the SER command hall.

After sitting down, Cooper said, "Last week, National Security Advisor Wright, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Hawkins, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Fitch and DHS (Department of Homeland Security), DIS (National Security Agency), DOJ (Department of Justice) and other related agencies held a three-day closed-door meeting and decided to establish a special professional response agency in response to the current severe anti-terrorism situation - the National Counterterrorism Investigation Bureau, referred to as CTU. Yesterday afternoon, the National Security Council passed this resolution and the President approved it." CTU! Carrie's heart moved and he understood that this should be the product of the system's third update of the world! In the series "24 Hours", CTU is a fictional organization, but now it has become a reality in this world, but does this have anything to do with me?
Cooper continued, "I will be the first director of CTU and will report directly to Counsel Wright. I want you to be in charge of the Special Enforcement Division of the General Administration..."

Kerry was a little speechless, and said with his hands spread out: "Harold, I'm from the IRS!"

"That's no problem!" Cooper waved his hand and said, "According to the resolution of the National Security Council, CTU has the right to recruit members from various law enforcement departments to join. You can still take on the position of SLR. The IRS director will agree!"

"Okay then! I'll wait for your news." Carrie could only say that since this was the result of the system updating the world, he probably couldn't refuse it!
Of course, having the name of CTU means that more cases can be handled and it still has great "money prospects".

However, the cases that CTU is involved in are full of conspiracies and dangers, so one must be careful.
-
The next day, Donald returned to work and Audrey was much better.

Carrie did not hide anything from him and told him about CTU. His original intention was to let him know that he would have a new job in the future and would not have time to take care of SER's affairs. Unexpectedly, Donald smiled and said: Cooper also found him, and SER will be incorporated into CTU in the future and become a relatively independent department-level unit!

Well, this way, they became closer colleagues in the same organization.

Carrey was somewhat impressed. Cooper was really a good leader. He didn't reveal anything yesterday! With such a sense of confidentiality, he believed that he could manage CTU well and it wouldn't be as messy as in the original plot.

On Friday, Reddington was handed a new blacklist case: "Icebreaker"!
"Two days ago, Happy, a member of the New York Vaccaro family, died in an accidental gunfight. The murderer was a member of the Ericson family. These two gangster families with deep grudges are facing a bloody fight..." Elizabeth introduced the situation, "But things have changed - a man named Arisel Pitt appeared and mediated between the two families...

"Reddington said that this Peter, nicknamed 'Icebreaker', is good at acting as a middleman to plan and implement alliances and cooperation between criminal organizations in order to obtain greater criminal profits."

Donald said in confusion: "That's great! If the mediation is successful, we can avoid greater bloodshed!"

"NO!" Elizabeth shook her head. "Both the Vaccaro and Ericson families are engaged in drug trafficking as their main business and have a considerable market share. If they unite, they will have the power to fight against the Mexican drug cartels. The entire underground drug market on the east coast of the United States will be reshuffled, and a major purge is inevitable, which means a large-scale bloodbath!"
