The Blacklist

Chapter 303 Impossible Virus Kills

On the other side, Emma, ​​who escaped alone, boarded a plane back to the United States with her forged passport and ticket. However, ordinary civilian airliners were more than half slower than the Gulfstream 650. When she arrived at the Los Angeles Airport, Carrie and others had already returned to Washington, D.C. for a long time. When she left the airport and rushed to the safe house she had arranged in advance, she saw Reddington waiting for her!
This time, Emma betrayed everyone. She wanted to get the list and sell it for a good price, then escape from the dangerous underground world and live a stable life in seclusion. But when she saw Redding, she was desperate!
But contrary to her expectations, Reddington did not intend to punish her. Instead, he gave her a new identity, the title deed to the lakeside villa, and a large sum of money, so that she could live a comfortable retirement life. Of course, he took away the witness protection list.

That night, Reddington met with Carrie, handed over the list at the dinner table, and said uncomfortably: "Carrie, there is a problem here!"

"What do you mean?" Carrie asked in surprise.

"Kaplan is missing!" Reddington said, "I can't find her. The reason I got this list is because there is a person named Maureen Ron on it. She testified in court because she witnessed a gang murder and was included in the witness protection program. She is Kaplan's sister."

"Do you think she knows where Kaplan is?" Carrie said.

Reddington shook his head and said, "I have confirmed it. She doesn't know."

Carrey thought about it, but was a little confused. He had changed the plot before. Elizabeth did not encounter those dangers, and Kaplan did not betray Lao Lei. This should not cause the internal struggle between the two sides in the original plot, but what is going on now?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Lao Lei, what else happened to you? Your business, your men, etc.!"

"What do you mean?" Reddington was stunned. "What do you suspect?"

"Why do you care what I'm suspicious of? Think about it quickly, what else is wrong?" Carrie said, "By the way, Dembe, think about it too... your boss is not thinking well now!"

Oh? Dumby was stunned for a moment, then he started to think about it.

After a moment, Reddington thought of something and said, "Three days ago, one of my accountants, Zach Kenmore, who was in charge of overseas logistics and financial operations, suddenly disappeared. The $2 million in funds he handled also disappeared, which seriously affected some scheduled transactions, especially the Whistler cruise route that had been negotiated. "

At this time, Dunby also added: "There are also problems with freight at several ports in Europe. The exemption from inspection for the import and export business of several of our companies has been cancelled... Well, a regional manager in Madrid died in a car accident!"

Reddington reacted and immediately said: "This is not right, someone is taking action against me!"

Kerry looked at him with disdain and said, "Old Lei, you need to reflect on yourself. Have you become too arrogant recently? You didn't even notice so many problems around you! Okay, go check it out quickly. I'll also try to find out Kaplan's whereabouts. I hope she's okay!"
-
On a new Monday, Elizabeth was still in charge, informing everyone of the new mission objectives: "Yesterday, a man named Zach Kenmore died in a massage parlor. After the autopsy, the DCPD (Metropolitan Police Department) forensic doctor found that the symptoms of the body were consistent with acute meningitis - but Reddington believed that he was murdered!"

Donald crossed his arms and asked, "Why does Reddington think so?"

"Zach was Reddington's accountant. His disappearance and death caused serious losses to his business!" Elizabeth explained, "$2 million in funds are missing, and a cruise line transaction involved failed..." At this time, Carrie walked into the command hall and said, "We just received the results of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) autopsy, confirming that Zack died of the Rushen virus, a highly contagious and highly lethal meningitis virus. It only takes a few minutes for the infected person to die from contact with the virus!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Aram said nervously, "That means someone has infected Zach. In this case, many people will be killed, right?"

Kerry shook his head and continued, "Fortunately, this virus is very fragile and cannot survive without a host, so as long as you don't come into direct contact with the corpse, you can ensure safety.

"In addition, the CDC found lipstick residue containing the virus on Zach's lips... Although it is incredible, the only possibility is that there is a female virus carrier who will not get sick herself."

Nawabi asked doubtfully, "Lee, do you mean there is such a carrier of the virus who deliberately kills people?"

"So, this is why you need to investigate!" Carrie assigned the task...
-
On the other hand, Reddington found out that the Whistler cruise line he had lost was sold to Balder Magnussen, his old rival in the shipping industry. This made him suspect that he was the mastermind behind Zack's murder.

It can be said that Reddington really wants to kill Magnussen, and the other party does the same, but with their status in the underground world, they have enough security measures to protect themselves. It is not easy for others to find their whereabouts, and assassination is extremely difficult. So if Reddington wants to confront them, he has to think of a way.

Reddington wants to use the mysterious killer Edgar Leggett, who no one has ever seen - this is actually a fictional character he made up. Whenever someone is needed to take the blame for murder, this name will appear; but this time it is not just a name, but real action, so he needs someone to materialize Edgar.

It has become Reddington's habit to look for Carrie when he encounters difficulties, and this time is no exception.

Without much thought, Carrie gave the task to Tom. As an imposter, it would naturally be no problem for him to play the role of a killer.

Tom accepted the mission and led his men to carry out the plan of luring the snake out of its hole...
-
SER agents checked the CDC records and found that there had been two Ruschen virus incidents in the country. The first incident occurred in July last year. The victim was the owner of a pawn shop in Maryland. The pawn shop was robbed the day before his death.

Alam checked the surrounding surveillance footage from the time of the crime and discovered a strange woman - she was wrapped in a coat in the hot weather, and seemed afraid of touching other people.

Later, the woman was spotted again in surveillance footage near the massage parlor.

Abby found out that the only recorded outbreak of the Rushen virus was in Moldova in Eastern Europe 14 years ago, and only one girl survived the epidemic: Natalie Luca.
