The Blacklist

Chapter 277 Investors in Creative Crime

Elizabeth believed this result, but she also felt some sympathy for Kirk, so she advised him to cooperate with CTU, believing that Carrie would find a way to save him, but the furious Kirk didn't want to listen!

At noon, Elizabeth, who was also a patient and had not recovered, was taken back to the post office by Carrie and Gina. However, Kirk activated his backup plan and passed the order through the hospital nurses who had been bribed in advance.

Iris was in charge of monitoring the hospital. She watched him send out signals without interfering at all. In the words of her boss: Let him try, otherwise he won't give up!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Margaret Hospital suddenly received an emergency report from the police: a long-distance bus had a traffic accident after entering Washington, DC, and dozens of people were injured. Some of the injured were being sent in, and the hospital was asked to be prepared to receive them.

Ten minutes later, a large number of wounded were sent in, and the hospital suddenly became busy. Of course, this also brought some chaos. Under such circumstances, several strong men among the wounded changed their clothes and sneaked into various places in the hospital...

At around four o'clock, a fire broke out in the hospital. During the evacuation, Kirk, who was supposed to be imprisoned in the ward, disappeared and was suspected to have been rescued by someone!

In the office on the eighth floor of the post office, Carrie, who received the report from Elise, said "I understand" and asked her to withdraw the people. Now it depends on how Kirk will perform.

This weekend was relatively peaceful. Apart from the wanted warrant issued for the escaped Kirk, no other emergencies occurred, allowing everyone to have a good rest.

A good thing happened on Sunday. Elizabeth miraculously recovered her memory after waking up from a nap, which made Gina and Carrie, who were in the same room, very happy. At noon, they called their friends and booked the Turkish kebab restaurant for a party. They played for the whole afternoon, had a good meal, and celebrated well.

After work on Monday, Reddington came to the post office and after communicating with Carrie, he informed SER of a new blacklisted person - Miles McGrath.

Elizabeth, who had returned to her post, was in great spirits at this time. She introduced the situation that Reddington had told her in the SER command hall: "The night before yesterday, the power plant in the port city of Savannah, Georgia was blown up by four well-equipped and coordinated terrorists, causing a major power outage in the entire city. Due to the serious damage, it will take at least five days to restore normal power supply.

"Reddington believes that it was Miles McGrath who ordered this, but his purpose is still unclear..."

Aram, who had already found the information, then reported: "Myles McGrath has an extremely high IQ. When he was studying at Princeton University, he wrote code for the multi-billion-dollar media social platform 'Silver Screen'. He was a very famous young genius, but for some reason, after 'Silver Screen' went public, he left..."

Elizabeth added: "After the company got back on track, the other members of the board agreed that Miles had an antisocial personality and that keeping him in the company would cause great losses!"

After hearing this, the detectives present were all stunned. Is this really the case?

"Afterwards, Miles sued Silver Screen, won the case, and received $100 million in compensation!" Elizabeth continued, "Reddington investigated him, and Miles used the 100 million to start a new business - fostering crime!" This statement was really new, and Aram, who was quick to react, asked, "Fostering crime? Liz, do you mean that he invests in criminals like an angel investor?"

"Yes." Elizabeth nodded. "Miles uses the method of angel investors to find those creative criminals and understand their criminal plans. If he thinks it will bring enough benefits, he will invest in it to share the profits generated by the crime..."

Hearing this, everyone was amazed. This was truly a genius idea. If it was only from the perspective of profit, it would definitely make more money than making legitimate investments. However, the nature of this was too bad. And just think about it, there were actually such investors who committed crimes. It was really scary!
However, Nawabi asked, "This Miles is indeed abominable, but what does he have to do with Kirk who escaped?"

"I don't know." Elizabeth said, "Reddington just told me that Miles was hired by Kirk not long ago, and I don't know what he is doing. The explosion of the Savannah power plant in Georgia was invested and directed by Miles. In addition, Miles has something to do in London tonight and is staying at the Royal Monarch Hotel."

Seeing that Carrie didn't say anything, Donald directly ordered: "Aram, contact Scotland Yard (Greater London Police Department) and ask them to help monitor this Miles. We need to find out what he is going to do."
-
Nothing happened overnight, but the next morning, news from London shocked everyone at the post office: two Scotland Yard agents responsible for surveillance were killed outside the hotel, and Miles had left the hotel and flew back to the United States overnight. Scotland Yard sent the last information obtained by the deceased agent - a blurry photo of Miles McGrath meeting another man, but the man only had a side profile.

Aram analyzed the photo and tried to find out the identity of this person, but it was extremely difficult. In the end, he asked Abby for help, but the two still couldn't find out...

After hearing about this, Carrie casually said, "Now that we have a profile, we can copy it and treat it as a mirror image of another profile, and then we will have a whole face!"

Abby slapped his forehead and praised loudly: "Boss, you are really awesome. How come you didn't think of such a simple solution? Aram, you are so stupid!"

Aram wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted to say: Big sister, you didn't figure it out either, why did you only blame me? But seeing the other party's arrogant eyes, he dared not say it, and could only lower his head and work hard!

The approach was right. Without Abby even having to help, Alam pieced together a complete face, and then entered it into the SSA (Social Security Administration) citizen database to start searching. After spending some time, he found 14 possible matches, three of whom had died, five were serving sentences, and there were six left to be identified.

While the agents were trying to find the information of the six people, Carrie, who came downstairs with a cup of tea to inspect the work, looked at the big screen and said directly: "Abby, check this Dean Bradley first. Didn't you see that he has military experience?" Although he was cheating, shouldn't this person's background be checked first? It seems that Abby and Aram need to expand their thinking.
