The Blacklist

Chapter 259: One wave comes after another

Gibbs glared at Tony and said, "Okay, just lie down! I asked Director Kerry to come here to solve this matter. Just listen to me."

Kerry laughed when he heard this, thinking: Good job, Gibbs, you are playing tricks on me! However, he did not mean to blame him. Instead, he admired him. A good leader is one who can think about and protect his subordinates.

He didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Jethro, I think this is very simple. Someone is framing Tony! Following this line of thought, the gloves, blood, and teeth marks used by Tony, the person who can get these three things at the same time must be around you."

"You mean, it was someone from our group who did it?" Gibbs frowned.

"Of course." Carrie said, "You know best. Are there any new people coming in recently?"

Newcomer? Everyone in the office was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, but Tony, who had just crouched down, jumped up and shouted, "Charles from the Forensic Department! He's only been here for less than ten days!"

Kerry glanced at him and said to Ji Wa beside him, "Check this Charles."

"Understood." Jiwa was now a qualified agent, so she had no problem doing this. Director Shepherd also sent two Marine Corps military police to accompany her to arrest the man, but ordered the agents from Gibbs' team to stay in the office to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Another question!" Carrie asked again, "Whose legs are those? Have you checked?"

Huh? Everyone in NCIS was stunned. For more than a day, they had been concentrating on clearing Tony's name, and had overlooked such an important clue!
Gibbs was very angry with himself for making such a mistake. He said angrily, "McGee, go check it out!"

Kerry also said, "Abby, you go too."

"Yes, Chief," Abby agreed, and stood up and went upstairs to the forensic room with McGee.

At this time, Sheppard said, "Director Carrey, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to NCIS, come to my office and have a chat!"

"Okay, I was just about to talk to the director about the collaboration between CTU and NCIS..." Carrie said with a smile, then took Gina and followed Shepard to her office.

Gibbs stayed in the big office, directing his men to keep an eye on the investigation of the case.
-
More than 20 minutes later, Abby and McGee were the first to report that they had found the DNA corresponding to the two thighs from the National Bone Marrow Donor Database, and that the person was a nurse at a hospital in Dover, Maryland.

In order not to waste time, Carrie directly ordered CTU Maryland Bureau to send people to investigate. As a result, they found that the nurse was still alive, and both legs were intact!
However, the state bureau found out that the nurse had donated blood to a car accident victim a week ago, but the woman did not survive and her body was sent to the Dover Municipal Forensic Medical Examiner... Later, CTU agents came to check and found the body of the deceased with both legs amputated in the freezer of the Dover Forensic Medical Examiner. They directly arrested the medical examiner in charge and sent his information back!
At this time, Gibbs also finished interrogating the forensic engineer Charles and got a confession - he admitted that he deliberately framed Tony...

Three years ago, when Tony was a criminal detective at the Baltimore Police Department, he revealed that a hired forensic doctor had contaminated a blood sample during the forensic examination, which affected the investigation of a major case. For this reason, the forensic doctor was fired by the police department.

Later, during a court hearing, it was discovered that the medical examiner was at fault for not following up on time, but the contamination of the blood sample was caused by an operator error at the PL lab…and that operator was Charles!
Not long ago, Charles deliberately concealed his resume and applied for a job in the NCIS forensic laboratory. He began to implement his long-planned plan and collected the gloves Tony used, the blood from occasional cuts on his hands, and the dental records of hospital checkups. Then, he contacted the forensic doctor working in the Dover Municipal Forensic Office, cut off the legs of the victim of the car accident, and took them to the Marine Corps training base in Quantico for arrangement...

The truth of the case was revealed and Tony was cleared of suspicion. Director Sheppard and Gibbs were furious. The HR department had failed to do a good job and recruited a person with a bad record, causing such a big trouble and even directly threatening the key agents. This was really wrong!
The problem has been sorted out, and Carrie left with her men. Now NCIS will be busy with the internal reorganization!
-
After returning to the post office, Carrie informed Donald of the matter and ordered the SLR and SER service departments to begin re-checking internal security issues to prevent the leakage of staff personal information, especially biometric information that had not been taken seriously before. This time, special attention must be paid to prevention!

Carrie actually thinks that Gibbs is a troublemaker. He was targeted by terrorists before, and now Tony is being retaliated against. Next...well, it seems that something is going to happen to McGee!

Thinking of this, he called Gibbs again and asked him to pay attention to the safety of himself and his subordinates in the recent field operations. He thought he had done his best - he couldn't just tell him directly that something might happen to McGee!
-
Things always happen inadvertently. Less than ten days after Tony's incident, NCIS really got into trouble again. The one in trouble was the technical agent Dinosi McGee, who has high IQ but low mobility!

On August 8, while NCIS Group One was performing security duties for the Chief of Naval Operations' trip, McGee shot and killed an undercover police officer at the back door of a hotel. The chief of the Metropolitan Police Department personally came to question the illegality of McGee's shooting.

McGee said that he had identified himself and issued a warning, but the other party still pulled a gun on him. Then he heard gunshots, so he shot back... There was another car at the scene, which drove away after the gunshots.

Gibbs believed what McGee said, but NCIS Director Jenny Shepherd tended to believe the police's statement, thinking that McGee did not confirm the situation and fired hastily under tension, so she ordered an internal investigation into him, which made her relationship with Gibbs very tense.

Gibbs thought of Carrie's previous reminder to him, and thought that he had received some intelligence in advance, so he called to inquire.

Carrey just said: It was a hunch, there was no evidence.

Gibbs himself often had intuition at work, so he didn't doubt his words. He could only order Tony, Sera and others to conduct a strict re-examination...

After hanging up the phone, Carrie felt that she should help Gibbs and McGee, so she ordered Abby and Jiva to go to NCIS for help. Abby's task was to determine which gun killed the undercover policeman, and Jiva helped find the car that McGee said was at the scene at the time, and determine the relationship between the deceased and the owner of the car.
