The Blacklist

Chapter 240 The cub cries for the first time to share his father's worries
Ji Wa brought back all the evidence she found in the hotel room, the most important of which were the wallet, mobile phone and a stack of bearer bank bonds, all of which she brought to the conference room.

Just when Jiva had just finished reporting the arrest, Alex's cell phone on the table suddenly rang. It showed that the caller was a man named Morgan. While the others didn't know what to do, Carrie picked up the phone and answered it!

"Hey, Mr. Johnny?" a deep voice said on the phone.

"It's me." In front of Gina and Jiva's surprised gazes, Kerry said in English with a hint of German accent, "Morgan, I don't have much time, where do you want to meet?"

"Six o'clock in the evening, California Plaza." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

The two girls realized that Carrie had asked Alex a few questions in the interrogation room just to listen to his accent! High! Really high!
-
Less than ten minutes later, Carrie received a call from Tom, saying that Carl had been secretly captured and was being interrogated, but this guy was very stubborn and it would take some time.

Tom said that he had investigated this person's background and found that he did have close ties with some business people, some of whom were Palmer's original campaign fund donors; in addition, it was certain that Carl's personal income sources were complicated and he must have problems with his finances and taxes.

Now, apart from anything else, if there is a tax problem, Tom can directly handle the case in the name of SLR, detain and interrogate him legally, and Carl will never be able to get out again for a while!
Finally, Tom reported: Before secretly arresting Carl this time, they discovered during the tracking process that Carl had just met with Palmer's son Keith in private, and it seemed that the two had an argument, but they didn't know what the content was - Carl refused to confess.

Carrie smiled. He naturally knew what had happened, so he took out his phone and called Palmer. Since their last call, Palmer promised to carry his own mobile phone with him, so the two of them no longer needed to communicate through an assistant.

"Richard, is there any new situation?" Palmer ignored his son standing in front of him, picked up the phone, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"David, why are you so angry? Are you scolding your son?" Carrie said with a smile.

"Huh? How did you know?" Palmer was very surprised.

"Haha! My men arrested Carl not long ago, but during the previous tracking, Keith met with Carl alone, so I guess you must be angry." Carrie said, "David, don't be angry, the kid wants to help you, he must have secretly recorded the conversation with Carl, you listen to it first, and then give me the tape, which will just be the evidence to prove Carl's guilt!"

Palmer's mood suddenly improved when he saw that his son's actions were a little unreliable, but he did it with a heart after all. He felt warm in his heart! He then turned on the hands-free mode of his mobile phone and asked, "Richard, two questions. First, you are not using your power for personal gain and arresting people without evidence for my case, right? Second, isn't it said that private recordings cannot be used as evidence in court?"

"David, you worry too much!" Kerry said, "Carl's personal income source is complicated, tax evasion is serious, and there are many other crimes. The IRS Special Audit Division that I am in charge of is in charge of this matter. It will be no problem to catch him!
"As for the fact that private recordings cannot be used as evidence in court, other departments cannot do that, but the IRS has no problem with that. Once the recordings are used as evidence in the tax court, the federal court will have to recognize it!
"So, Keith did a great job this time, and I appreciate his contribution to you and your family! Stop scolding him, have a good talk with him, and when he graduates from college, send him to me and give him some good training. He will definitely be great!

"Oh, by the way, there are a few other things I want to tell you..." "Hahaha! Richard, you're too kind!" Is there anything that can make a father happier than praising someone's son in person? However, Palmer knew that the other party was going to talk about an assassination, and it would be difficult to let his son know, so he interrupted the other party, picked up the phone, turned off the speakerphone, covered the microphone, and said to his son who was already dumbfounded: "Keith, put down the recording, you go out first, I have other things to do here."

Keith was actually a very smart kid. Although he didn't know how the person on the other end of the phone knew that he was secretly recording, he realized that what happened next involved confidentiality issues. Without saying anything more, he took out the recorder from his pocket, placed it in front of his father, made a gesture, walked out, and closed the door.

Palmer nodded with relief, and then he spoke to the phone again: "Okay, I let Keith leave, Richard, you can talk now."

From the voice on the phone, Kerry guessed what was happening on the other end. He thought that this old black man was quite scheming. He must have turned on the speakerphone and praised his son through his own mouth! However, considering his "kind father" heart, he did not tease him.

Carrie continued, "First of all, Jack's wife and daughter were successfully rescued, but I think there will be some other twists and turns afterwards, don't worry, I will control it.

"Second, CTU has confirmed that Victor Drayson's eldest son Carver died of a heart attack. His youngest son Alex was arrested not long ago. It is confirmed that your family friend's daughter Lisa is not involved in the case. I have asked Katie to do some ideological work on her. You can pay attention to her later.

“The third thing, David, your wife is deeply involved in the relationship with Karl, you have to be mentally prepared! It’s up to you what to do, and I will help if you need it.

"The fourth thing is, I got some clues and I suspect it involves the Pentagon. David, you'd better ask someone if the Department of Defense did anything secretly before and after the 'Dark Night Operation'? This is very important.

"Also, I have already contacted four big bosses. They have changed their original attitude of supporting the Republican Party and will invest their future funds in you. Please ask your staff to pay attention to this..."

After listening to this long conversation, even though Palmer's brain was good enough, he took a moment to understand and digest it before saying, "Wow! Richard, you really gave me a big surprise, thank you!
“I’m also thinking about Shirley’s matter, and I’ll make a decision later.

"As for the Pentagon, I will contact a friend right away to see what they have done!
"As for campaign finances, I will have Chief of Staff Mike take charge personally..."

Kerry smiled and said, "OK, that's it. I wish you a great victory in the primary election in advance! I will resolve the matter here... By the way, have a good talk with my son!"
