The Blacklist

Chapter 239: The Drayson Family’s Beauty Trap
At 2:05 p.m., Abby retrieved all the photos of Victor Drayson's family, and everyone in the precinct began to look for him based on the photos...

At 2:30 p.m., Carrie received a call from Donald who stayed at the post office, confirming that Robert Ellis had arrived and was being held under protective custody; Robert used SER's server to retrieve some files from the CIA's central database and sent them to a confidential mailbox, saying that they were related to "Operation Dark Night."

At 2:45 pm, LAPD notified all law enforcement agencies: Ten minutes ago, an explosion occurred near an abandoned dam in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles. Four bodies were found at the scene, one of whom was shot and the other three were killed in the explosion...

Based on the photos of the body sent by the police, Jack confirmed that this person was Kevin Carroll, the "impostor" who pretended to be Jenny's father. Everyone believed that this person and the other three dead were the fish that escaped during the rescue operation and were probably killed by the Drayson family this time.

Tony checked the satellite surveillance data before and after the explosion and found a suspicious vehicle, the driver of which was suspected to be Alex Drayson! Then, based on the road surveillance, he began to track the car...

At fifteen o'clock, Tony determined that the suspicious vehicle entered the Charming Rose Hotel, which was a short distance from the Century City Hotel.

Ji Wa sent a group of field agents to sneak into the hotel in disguise, and soon found out that Alex, using the alias Alex Johnny, was living in room 1243 of the hotel, and also obtained the hotel's internal surveillance video.

After analysis, it was confirmed that Alex checked in three days ago and had several dates with a black-haired woman during that time. The woman turned out to be Lisa Nash, the administrative assistant of Palmer's campaign team!

After receiving the report from Jiva and Tony, Kerry stroked his forehead. He finally found out the source of Alex, which greatly reduced his mental labor of fabricating the source of intelligence. This shows that the current team of the branch is still very combat-effective.

Carrie asked Gina to contact Senator Palmer and made sure he picked up the phone before saying, "David, find a private space. I need to talk to you about something."

"Wait a minute." After several dozen seconds, Palmer spoke again, "Richard, what happened?"

"Your executive assistant, Lisa Nash." Kerry said, "We have just confirmed that Victor Drayson's youngest son Alex, alias Alex Johnny, is dating Lisa. In the past three days, they have dated many times in hotels near Century City..."

"Lisa? How is that possible!" Palmer was a little bit unbelievable. "She is the daughter of an old friend of mine. I can say that I watched her grow up. She shouldn't betray me!"

"It's not necessarily a betrayal. Alex deliberately approached her, catered to her interests, and fell in love with her..." Carrie said, "Lisa, who has never received any special agent training, revealed enough information during their conversation!"

Palmer was silent for a while before he said, "Richard, what should we do now?"

Carrie said: "I will send a former USSS female agent to you, and you will arrange for her to talk to Lisa... Here, I will control Alex first!

"Also, I have good news for you. Robert has arrived in Washington and is under the protection of my people. You can rest assured." Robert gave me some secret files about the 'Dark Night Operation'. Among them, there is a record proving that Victor Drayson's wife and daughter died in that operation...

"I think this is why the three Drayson brothers targeted you and Jack's family..."

After hanging up the phone, Gina next to him handed over another phone. Carrie took it and said, "Katie, go to Century City Hotel to find Senator Palmer. He will arrange for you to talk to a female assistant named Lisa Nash. Gina will tell you the details..."

Then, Carrie said to the two people waiting at the desk, "Jiva, you and Jack take the operatives to the hotel to capture Alex, and try to capture him alive. Tony, next, you will organize all your forces to find Andre Drayson, we only need him now!"

"Yes, Chief." The two men agreed and stood up to leave.

At 15:20, Carrey received a call from Senator Mel Hawkins, asking about the status of the investigation into the Palmer assassination.

Kerry knew what he was worried about, so he said, "Mel, based on the information we have so far, we can confirm that the assassination of Senator Palmer was a revenge act by the Kosovo Drayson family... Well, in other words, it has nothing to do with politics or skin color."

"Richard, are you sure?" Hawkins asked in surprise.

"Sure." Kerry said, "Don't worry, Mel, the situation is under control here now. I will close the net and solve this trouble soon. You should be ready to celebrate Palmer's success in the primary election!"

"OK, that's great!" Hawkins said happily, "Well, I won't disturb your work anymore. When this is over, I'll treat you to a drink when you come back!"

"Okay, I'll arrange a place for you then, and you won't go home until you're drunk!" Carrie also laughed.

After 14:10, Carrie received a phone call from Jiva reporting that Alex had been successfully captured. However, when Jack was questioning her about her next plan of action at the scene, he accidentally injured her, but the injury was not serious and she could be brought back directly.

"It's okay, bring him back, keep it secret." Carrie hung up the phone, sighing that the plot was so rigid, Alex was still injured! It didn't matter, he was the damned guy anyway, he was looking for a chance to kill him himself! However, this Jack was really irritable, it seemed that the beating was not enough.

Ten minutes later, Carrie saw Alex with a broken head and a broken arm in the interrogation room of the police station... Well, the injury was indeed not serious enough and he was far from dying!
After asking this guy a few simple questions, Carrie lost interest and let Jack and the others go to interrogate him. He took Jiva back to the conference room to listen to the report.
-
At this time, Palmer was in a high-rise suite at the Century City Hotel, furious with his son. Keith had escaped the guards' sight under the cover of his sister Nicole, secretly drove out of the hotel, and went to negotiate with Carl alone! He came back nearly an hour later, and although nothing happened, it made him very angry!

Keith knew that he had gone too far, but he had his own purpose - when he met and talked with Carl alone and argued, he got him to tell the truth about Dr. Ferigamer's murder, secretly recorded the conversation, and got Carl's evidence! But his father got angry when they met, so he didn't show it!
