The Blacklist

Chapter 25 Family conflicts always break out
After Donald arrived with the task force, they took control of the scene. Soon after, people from the Federal Marshals Service also arrived, along with an ambulance.

Because of the timely arrival and care of Carrie and his colleagues, the injured marshal survived, so the senior officials of the Marshals Bureau expressed their gratitude to the SER team; then after hearing that the guy who escaped and killed people had been shot dead, they came forward to "visit" and expressed their gratitude again, and everyone from the Marshals Bureau who came to the scene knew Carrie.

After noon, SER returned to the post office. It was already past lunch time, and no one wanted to go out, so they ate in the cafeteria.

Carrie and Elizabeth were sitting at the same table. When he was enjoying his meal, he saw that Elizabeth looked like she was not enjoying her food, so he asked, "Liz, are you still worried about Tom?"

"Yeah..." Elizabeth realized something was wrong just after she said one word, "Lee, what do you know?"

"I know a lot of things." Carrie said, "Especially that you are very unhappy now, and this is obviously not about work, then it must be family. Tell me, what happened to Tom?"

Elizabeth hesitated several times and finally shook her head, not expressing her doubts.

Kerry didn't force her, but just said: "Liz, although I have never been married, I also know that it is best for a couple to be honest with each other. Some things should be made clear as soon as possible, otherwise the misunderstanding will become deeper and deeper..."

"It's not what you think." Elizabeth shook her head. "It's something else."

"No matter what the problem is, it's better to solve it early than late." Carrie insisted on his point of view, "It's better to solve the problem if there is one, rather than leaving it there and letting it grow bigger or more!"

Elizabeth lowered her head and thought about it. She must have heard it!
After get off work in the afternoon, Elizabeth returned home, only to find Tom sitting in the living room angrily, with the box containing the secret on the table in front of him!
Seeing this scene, Elizabeth knew that the matter had finally broken out. Thinking of what Carrie had said in the afternoon, she simply made things clear and asked what was going on with the pistol and passport inside.

What she didn't expect was that Tom got anxious and said he had no idea where these things came from... He also accused Elizabeth of knowing about these things and not telling him?

The two had a big argument but could not come to a clear conclusion. Tom refused to admit that the gun and passport were his, and finally offered to call the police.

In order to get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible, Elizabeth made up her mind. However, given her identity, she certainly couldn't call the police. Instead, she notified the SER duty officer and initiated the emergency family review procedure.

Soon, the post office guards and internal service personnel came to the door and took both of them back, including the box.

Cooper was very angry when he received the report of this incident. He immediately rushed back to the post office and notified the main agents to come back, but he failed to contact Carrie. He instructed Donald and Mira to investigate Tom and personally interrogate Elizabeth, and temporarily ignored Carrie.

At this time, Carrie was meeting Reddington in a closed bar. For safety, both of them put their mobile phones in shielding bags. The only way to contact the outside world was the simplest feature phone in Dembe's hand, so he didn't know that the post office had contacted him.

This meeting was requested by Reddington. He had previously promised to persuade DeChambeau, and the other party agreed to be Carrie's informant, but would rather not have an exemption agreement than pay taxes!
Hearing this, Kerry laughed and said, "Ha, a woman crazy about money! Let her be!"

At this moment, Dumby, who was in the distance, suddenly came over and said, "Elizabeth and Tom have been taken back to the post office." After that, he stepped back.

Reddington nodded, took a sip of red wine, and said, "What's wrong with this couple? Is there something wrong with Tom?"

Kerry looked at him pretending and couldn't help but said, "Old Lei, don't you feel guilty for saying that? Wasn't it you who arranged Tom's matter?"

Reddington was obviously stunned and said, "Richard, what do you mean? What did I arrange for Tom?" "You arranged everything for Tom, from the beginning to now, but you lost control in the middle and let it slip away from your control." Carrie said, "It's wrong to deceive Elizabeth like this. Have you never considered the consequences?"

Reddington was silent for a while before he said, "What else do you know?"

"I also know that if you don't stop the loss quickly, not only will Elizabeth suffer, but you will also suffer a great loss!" Carrie said, "This is my kind advice to you."

"I made a wrong move at the beginning. How do I stop the loss now?" Reddington said somewhat disappointedly.

"It's simple. Just explain Tom's matter to Elizabeth," said Carrie.

Reddington thought about it and said, "If I tell you, Elizabeth will hate me to death!"

"But if you don't tell her, can you guarantee that she will never know about Tom's affairs?" Carrie shook her head. "The later she finds out, the more she will hate you!"

Reddington's hesitant look doesn't seem like a famous underground tycoon at all, but rather like a father who is troubled by his daughter's premature love.

Seeing his expression, Kerry knew that he couldn't make up his mind, so he simply changed the subject and said, "12 8123th Street, is this address familiar to you?"

Hmm? Reddington felt that this place was indeed familiar, and one of his important skills in the underground world was his amazing memory. He immediately thought, "This address should be near Elizabeth's house, right?"

Kerry admired his memory and nodded, "Yes, Elizabeth's house is No. 8126, and No. 8123 is diagonally opposite her house. Lao Lei, have you really not arranged anything here?"

"Richard, what do you mean?" When it came to Elizabeth's home, Reddington immediately became alert.

Carrie saw that he didn't look like he was pretending. After drinking beer and thinking about the plot, he said, "That's interesting! I found several armed men there, monitoring Elizabeth's home 24 hours a day. I thought they were your people!"

"What?" Reddington sat up straight. "Richard, are you sure they are my people?"

"Not sure." Kerry shook his head immediately, "But I found that one of them really likes eating apples."

Apple? Reddington's intelligence is not fake. He immediately understood what the other party was talking about. If this is true, then the problem is very serious. Thinking quickly about the countermeasures, he said, "Thank you very much, Richard, I owe you this time!"
