The Blacklist

Chapter 299 It turns out that everything is still for money

Carrie had ridden a motorcycle once during the Radd Gang case more than a year ago, but he didn't bring Gina with him that time. This time, he took her with him to have some fun, riding around the DC Loop before returning to the post office.

Abby carefully examined the two microscopic models and successfully extracted a somewhat blurred fingerprint from them. She designed a special search program and after more than two hours of searching, she found a match in AFIS (Law Enforcement Joint Fingerprint Identification System) and confirmed that the suspect was Fiona Driscoll.

According to the mobile phone location provided by Abby, Jiva and Elise rushed to a supermarket, arrested Fiona who was shopping, and brought her back.

As soon as she entered the interrogation room, Fiona admitted that she was the one who sent the two microscopic models, but unlike what everyone thought before, they were not for Carrie, but for Elizabeth. She had seen Elizabeth's news report on TV before and knew that she was a federal agent. Not long ago, she saw her shopping with another person in a store, so she followed them and found her address...

Hearing this, Elizabeth and Gina looked at each other and blushed. It was so embarrassing that they didn't even know someone had followed them home!

In the following time, everyone figured out the truth of the matter...

Fiona's nine-year-old daughter Maggie suffers from deafness, multiple cognitive impairments, and autism. She only loves to draw and make models to pass the time. Two years ago, Maggie suddenly started making some horror models, some disasters and some murders, and then there would be corresponding tragedies - Maggie seemed to have the ability to foresee!
For this reason, Fiona reported the case to the police, but her case was not accepted, so she thought of asking federal agent Elizabeth for help.

Elizabeth became anxious when she learned that Maggie was staying alone at Lanier Hill. She talked to Gina, and then she, Nawabi and Fiona rushed to her house, fearing that something might happen to the child at home.
-
Soon, Elizabeth and her friends brought back Maggie and Fiona, as well as forty miniature models that filled two cars, which amazed everyone.

The detectives learned from Fiona that these 40 models were made by Maggie in the past two years, and each model corresponds to a major case and accident! For example:
Two years ago, a train hit a bus in Ukraine, killing 13 people and injuring 6;
Last March, Flight 361 crashed in the Andes, killing all 128 people on board;
In July a sailboat washed ashore south of Naples, with the owner and his wife missing;

In November, a factory fire in Jaipur killed 18 people...

In addition, there were the Miami bus fire and the Madrid mass shooting.

However, although the correspondence between these models and the cases has been confirmed, people do not believe that nine-year-old Maggie really has the ability to "predict". This statement is too unscientific!
Carrie wished that Maggie really had special abilities, but she knew the plot and felt very sorry about it.

Alam found a possible reason in Maggie's medical records - two years ago, in order to treat her deafness, Maggie underwent a new product testing surgery and implanted a high-frequency hearing aid in her ear cavity, so that she could hear the sound. He believes that it is very likely that a special frequency of mobile phone radio frequency signals was received by the hearing aid, and the conversation between the murderer and his employer was heard.

This statement is a bit unbelievable, but SLR technical director Abby thought it made sense and designed an experiment. After multiple tests with a spectrum analyzer and a signal generator, it was determined that Maggie could indeed hear some mobile phone signals, but the range was limited. According to the signal strength, it was only tens to hundreds of meters, which means that the mobile phone calls she heard were near her home.

At this time, SER forensic personnel confirmed the identity of the gunman who was shot dead in Bell Tower Square. He was Benjamin Allen, 35 years old, who had studied at Berkeley University. He was expelled from the university in his junior year for rape. He was paroled three years ago for good behavior and then disappeared. Now it seems that he should live near Maggie's house.

Donald personally led a large group of people to Maggie's house to find Benjamin's residence. Carrie left only Gina, Abby, and Aram to find the common points of the more than 40 cases. The purpose was to determine who instructed Benjamin to commit the crime. With his ability, it is impossible for one person to plan and carry out so many cases. In addition, it is necessary to find out why the middle-aged man who was rescued in the clock tower square was killed?
-
As Abby and Aram were analyzing a large amount of case data, Kerry had an idea and said, "Gina, get Corissa here and ask her to look for the commonalities between these cases from an economic perspective."

"Understood." Gina agreed and went out to find someone.

In fact, Carrie knew that if given enough time, Alam would be able to find out the truth. However, now that he had an expert in economics and finance, why not use him? The right thing to do was to shorten the time and solve the case quickly.

His judgment was correct. An hour later, before Donald found Benjamin's residence, Corissa found the common point of the 42 cases - after each case, the stock price of a listed company would plummet!
For example, the middle-aged man who survived the last case was the chief operating officer of a Fortune 500 company!

Kolisa even quickly found out the beneficiary of this - Yasek Private Equity Fund.

Kerry immediately said, "Corissa, check the operation status of the Yasek Fund. Aram, check the relationship between Benjamin and the fund. Abby, find out the person in charge of the company and locate him."

"Understood, Boss!" the three agreed in unison.

At this moment, Elizabeth called back and said that they had found Benjamin's residence, a room on the fourth floor of an apartment building opposite Maggie's house. A large number of criminal plans were found in the apartment and they were currently collecting and sorting them out...
-
The three technical geniuses worked together and quickly found the information they needed!

The performance of Yasek Private Equity Fund in the past three years has been extremely outstanding. Because it has made huge profits from dozens of short-selling transactions, it is called a legend in the industry!

Kolisa has confirmed that each of her short selling occurred a few days before an important case or accident occurred.

Alam found out that the company where Benjamin interned in college was the Yasek Foundation, and that the president of the foundation, Chris Farnsworth, attended Benjamin's parole hearing three years ago and served as parole guarantors along with Benjamin's parents.

Abby found out that Farnsworth was still at the company's headquarters in Manhattan.

"Very good!" Kerry nodded and praised, "Abby, monitor Farnsworth's movements, Corissa, check the fund's transaction records, Aram, support Tang and the others; Gina and I will go to Manhattan to catch this guy!"
