The Blacklist

Chapter 260: Coming Out Again for a Friend
At the post office, an unexpected incident forced Carrie to put NCIS matters aside.

Tom, who was assigned to Halcyon Shield, brought back a message: a client contacted the company and hired them to kidnap Elizabeth with a high reward. The current president of the company, Susan Scotty Hargreave, did not refuse directly, but only said that she would think about it for a day. However, she informed him privately and asked him to ask Carrie what he thought.

Kerry did not ask for the client's name. Instead, he called back and said, "Tell Susan to double the fee. I want her to bring that client to me."

Hearing this, Tom was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I see, Boss."

After hanging up the phone, Carrie thought to herself that both Susan and Solomon were not easy to deal with. She didn't know whether the claim that someone had hired them to kidnap Elizabeth was true or not.

If it was true, and their company was only after financial gain, then I would not even ask for the price and would just give her double the amount, I don't believe she would not be tempted; if it was false, then Susan was testing me, which meant that her purpose was beginning to be revealed.

However, after such a long time, Tom still hasn't figured out his relationship with Susan. It seems that he is pretending to be ignorant. Well, let him be!

Two hours later, Tom replied that Susan only promised that the company would not accept the order, but would not sell out the customer, and said that this involved credibility, not money...

After saying this, Tom said anxiously, "Lee, I'm worried that if Halcyon doesn't take this order, someone else will, and Elizabeth will be in danger!"

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Carrie said, "Tom, your mission is to keep an eye on Halcyon Company, especially Susan and Solomon. I want to know if they are really not involved in this. If they dare to lie to me, I will give them a good lesson!"

The next morning, because the internal investigation of NCIS did not reach a conclusion, DCPD (Metropolitan Police Department) submitted an investigation application to the Federal Prosecutor's Office, requesting that McGee be transferred to the police station for detention and investigation. Director Sheppard was ready to agree, but was strongly opposed by Gibbs, and the two had a fierce conflict over this!
Tony asked Abby and Jiva who were helping in NCIS to tell Carrie about this, hoping that she would come to the rescue!

In response, Kerry was happy to help and came over quickly.

As the director of CTU and the supervisor of SLR, Carrey still has a lot of influence among the senior officials of various law enforcement departments. The DCPD chief and the federal assistant prosecutor who had just arrived agreed with his suggestion: McGee should be questioned and investigated here at NCIS, but the time limit is only 24 hours. If they still cannot prove that McGee's shooting was justified by the end of the day, they will formally arrest him.

Kerry took over the command of the investigation immediately. He, Gibbs, the DCPD chief, and the federal assistant prosecutor went to Director Sheppard's office. He then called the forensic room, turned on the speakerphone, and asked, "Abby, what's the status of the shooting of the deceased that I asked you to investigate yesterday?"

"Director, forensic doctor Dark took out three bullets from the deceased. They were all 9mm Parabellum pistol bullets, numbered one to three, and handed them to me for testing." Abby reported, "I have been conducting comparative tests on the three bullets since last night. It has been proven that two bullets were fired from McGee's gun. The comparison of the third bullet is in progress... Well, the results are expected to be out in more than an hour!"

At this time, the federal assistant prosecutor next to him sensitively asked: "Which of these three bullets caused the fatal injury?"

"I don't know." Abby answered immediately, "Duck Forensic said to keep it confidential and follow the most stringent forensic procedures."

"Very good, continue." Carrie said, hung up the phone, and called the forensic office again.

Medical examiner Dak was an experienced person and knew what to do at such times. He ensured that the forensic examination and identification procedures were impeccable. So after receiving the call, he immediately said, "Director Kerry, at 11:30 last night, after I completed the autopsy, I numbered the three bullets and sent them to the identification room for testing. In order to keep it confidential, the forensic report was not published, but was immediately stored in the federal forensic report database and encrypted... In addition, a copy of the report has been sent to Director Sheppard's email, but it is also encrypted." "Very good, Dak, thank you for your hard work." Kerry was very satisfied. After hanging up the phone, he turned to the people in the office and said, "I think the work of Director Abby and Medical Examiner Dak is in line with work procedures and confidentiality needs. Therefore, when the test results of the third bullet come out, they can be identified as legal and valid evidence."

Upon hearing this, the federal assistant prosecutor nodded and said, "I agree. After the test is completed, the two reports issued by the forensic doctor Dak and stored in different places can be recognized as legal and valid evidence."

Sheppard, Gibbs and the DCPD chief all agreed that the process was fair enough.

Kerry called Jiwa again and asked, "Jiwa, have you found the car that McGee mentioned?"

"Boss, we have some preliminary clues..." Jiwa said, "According to the traffic surveillance near the scene, we found a suspicious Land Rover SUV, but the license plate is fake... I have asked Alam from SER for help to check more surveillance, hoping to find its last whereabouts..."

"Okay. Tell Alam that if he finds the car, I'll treat him to a meal," said Carrie.

After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at the people in the office and said again: "Let's sort out the case now and analyze it objectively and impartially, without prejudice or prescriptive rules. Just tell the facts. Do you agree?"

"Agreed." Several people nodded in response.

"Well, let me summarize it and find something that everyone agrees on first." Kerry said, "Now my people have found the suspicious vehicle. Combined with the traces left at the scene, we can confirm that there was indeed a car at the scene, and the deceased was next to the car. Do you all have any objection to this?"

"No." Sheppard, Gibbs, the DCPD chief, and the assistant federal prosecutor all said.

"This situation proves that there were at least three people at the scene," Carrie said, "Agent McGee from NCIS, the undercover police officer who died, and the driver of the car."

"agree."

"The victim was shot three times, and McGee admitted to firing three shots." Carrey said, "But McGee said he saw a gun in the victim's hand before the shooting and heard the gunshot, but no other gun was found at the scene, and no other bullet marks were found... This is the point of disagreement between NCIS and DCPD, right?"

"Correct."
