The Blacklist

Chapter 306 The Second Ring Against Lao Lei
The reason why Reddington asked Elizabeth to come for dinner this time was certainly not because of Stratos. One reason was to have a good lunch with her, and the other was because of a hit-and-run case that happened in Paris.

"One of my deliverymen died in Paris last night. His name was Prabo. It looked like a traffic accident, but he was actually murdered." Reddington said seriously, "When Prabo died, he was delivering a huge batch of bonds for me, but now these things have disappeared without a trace!"

"Do you think it's about these bonds?" asked Elizabeth.

"Bonds are important, but they're not the key point." Reddington said, "Liz, you know, in the last case, Carrie and I found out from Natalie that the person who ordered her to kill Zack was Isabella Stone, but I have no direct grudge against this person. I don't understand why she did this?"

"You mean, this person was also behind this incident?" Elizabeth said in surprise. This was the first time she knew about this.

"Yes, so I'm worried." Reddington said with a serious expression, "In recent years, this woman has made a name for herself in the underground world. It is said that after she takes a job, she will stop at nothing to deal with her target, including scandals, public humiliation, blackmail, theft, murder... She will use any possible means to attack her victims without caring whether it will implicate others!"

Elizabeth reacted and said, "Old Lei, do you mean that I might be implicated?"

"So I'm worried." Reddington admitted, "I came here to remind you that you must stay with Lee for a while. He can protect you."

"What about you?" Hearing him say that, Elizabeth thought of another point, "Lee, Gina, and my colleagues at the post office will protect me, but what about you?"

Reddington smiled and said, "Don't worry, Liz. I've been through a lot. As long as you're okay, I'll protect myself."

After returning to the post office, Elizabeth said to Carrie: "Lee, I have something to tell you..."

After listening to her, Carrie paused and said, "Liz, I understand the situation. What you need to do now is to do your job well. Don't think about these things in advance...

"I know what's going on with Lao Lei. I've already made some arrangements. Action will be taken soon, and you will also be assigned tasks by then! Now, you must eat well, drink well, and rest well, and be ready for action!"

"Well, I understand!" Elizabeth understood what was said and nodded immediately.

In fact, Carrie knew in her heart that this was a turning point in the plot. No matter what happened before, she had to go with the flow. Besides, this was what she had expected before, right?
In the SER command hall, Elizabeth introduced the new case to everyone: "Dr. Eric Bannon, a world-renowned cardiologist, was later accused of a series of medical murders. He was called the 'Doctor of Death' and was said to have used fatal interactions of prescription drugs to kill patients. There have been 12 confirmed deaths, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment."

Donald questioned, "Is there anything wrong with this case?"

"Reddington claimed that Dr. Bannon was framed!" Elizabeth said, "A man named Fujimoto Ryu hired Isabella Stone to attack Bannon and brought her to court!"

Nawabi asked in confusion, "How did Isabella do it?" "Isabella stole Bannon's password, entered the network of the inpatient pharmacy, and changed the patient's prescription..." Elizabeth explained, "Her method is very clever, but the nature is extremely bad!"

Alam said at this time: "Based on the information provided by Liz, I found another case - two years ago, a sweatshop in the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh caught fire due to negligence in management, and 68 people died, including 27 children...

"Subsequent news reports revealed horrific working conditions inside the factory, leading activists to blame the factory's main contractor, Decent Jeans, and its president, high-end fashion designer Cynthia Brooks! The scandal rocked the industry."

Elizabeth followed up, "Reddington said that the factory fire was also planned and implemented by Isabella Stone, with the purpose of attacking Cynthia Brooks! As for the workers who were burned to death, they were just collateral damage."

Hearing this, everyone felt chilled to the bone. Isabella's behavior was so terrible!
"Three days ago, Reddington's deliveryman Purab died in a traffic accident in Paris, and a large batch of bonds he was transporting disappeared." Elizabeth said, "Reddington is sure that Isabella did it!"

Donald said: "You mean, someone hired Isabella to deal with Reddington?"

"Yes." Elizabeth said, "Do you remember the last case we handled? Natalie Luca, who was asymptomatic and carrying the Rushen virus, has admitted that it was Isabella who hired her to kill Reddington's accountant Zack."

Donald was about to speak when he heard his cell phone ringing. He took it out and walked to the side to answer it. His face was obviously not right.

Nawabi and Elizabeth both noticed the situation but said nothing.

Donald came back after the call and arranged for Nawabi and MiraMila to contact the French External Security Agency to inquire about any information about the deliveryman. Elizabeth and Alam were responsible for investigating Isabella's whereabouts in the United States.

Unexpectedly, Donald, who was always at the forefront, had no intention of investigating personally this time. Instead, he hurriedly left the post office and no one knew what he was doing.
-
Nawabi and Mira received feedback from the French side, but there were no ready-made clues. However, they did send over some of the information they had previously investigated as requested. It was quite a lot of information, and it seemed that they had done a lot of work.

After receiving the data from the Internet, Nawabi and Mira could only analyze the data first without any other clues. After Alam and Elizabeth set up the program to search for Isabella, they also joined the ranks of analyzing the data...
-
After returning home in the evening, Elizabeth told Carrie and Gina about the case, and then mentioned that Donald took a phone call, put down his work and left.

Carrie didn't say anything about the case, he already knew all of this in advance, but he was very concerned about Donald's situation and said he would ask about it tomorrow. However, at this time, he was basically sure that this must be Don's brother who had a problem. What happened in the original plot? He needed to think about it...
