The Blacklist

Chapter 314: The Orphan of the Temple Revenges on the Client
Aram found out that the red-headed krait is a rare and extremely venomous snake with only four suppliers in the world, and only one in North America, a now-closed reptile farm in Pennsylvania owned by Asa Hightower.

Kerry personally led a team to investigate the farm and found a laboratory inside, which was filled with various biological extraction equipment...

Elizabeth also found Asa's wife who had been imprisoned. She wanted to leave because she couldn't stand Asa's evil deal. Asa controlled her with homemade anesthetics and she was unable to leave the bed! She was pregnant now. Asa went to the town to buy baby products and prepare to decorate the baby's room.

When the agents arrived at the town, Asa, who had discovered the agents, fled in a hurry, which was exactly what Carrie wanted. He immediately shot him dead on the spot and earned a sum of crime-killing points - well, this was also the purpose of his coming here in person.

A detailed search of the Asa laboratory later found a lot of evidence proving that it had committed at least dozens of poisonings and crimes. This also means that the two departments of the post office will be busy closing the case for a while!

The specially hired doctor found the antidote for the red-headed snake venom in the laboratory and sent Helen to the hospital, where she was successfully revived. Of course, she then went through the divorce procedures with Robert, who had been arrested...

Over the next week or so, both the SLR and SER were busy finishing up the case, and a series of previously unsolved cases were solved, bringing great praise to both departments.

When Reddington encountered a crisis this time, he exposed several blacklisted figures in order to solve the problem, which brought reputation to the Post Office and made SLR and SER famous in CTU and even in law enforcement circles!

Of course, Carrie was still as lazy as ever, but he was not idle either, because the matter with Reddington was indeed a bit tricky this time, and he had to consider helping him solve it.

After more than half a month without finding any trace of Kaplan, Reddington was really anxious. First, he was worried about her safety, and second, he didn't know what else she would do.
On April 4, a new week began, and Reddington provided SER with a new blacklist target - "The Temple"! This is a special service provider that provides shelter and resettles people who need to hide their whereabouts. It has its own underground transportation network. He suspects that Kaplan is now using its services.

Reddington has used his power to find some people who have received services from the "Temple", but failed to find its operator. In a hurry to find Kaplan, he decided to use the power of official partners.

Based on the information provided by Reddington, SER found a man named Richard Fickman who had received services from the "Temple", but when Donald led the team there, they only saw a large pool of blood and the man was gone.

Based on traffic surveillance near the scene, Alam found out that before the agents arrived at the scene, only one car had been there. The owner of the car was Chuck Shaw, a criminal who had just been released on parole.

Donald and Nawabi found Chuck working out in the gym. After interrogation, Chuck confessed that he had reached an agreement with prison psychologist Sophia Gallup in exchange for parole - to kill the person designated by the doctor after being released from prison! But he could not provide any solid evidence, and the only disposable mobile phone used to contact Sophia had been destroyed.

After returning to the post office, Elizabeth found out that there was indeed a doctor named Sophia who was a psychological counseling doctor in various prisons in the Northeast, but she only registered an email address as a contact information. The prisoner Sophia recently testified to guarantee parole was named Dennis Cowley, and it was reasonable to suspect that there was a similar secret agreement. Donald and others rushed to the address Dennis reported to the police. The house was empty, and there was a file of an antique appraisal expert on the table, which also stated that he would go to the museum every afternoon.

The agents rushed to the museum, rescued the man from Dennis, and got the inside story of "The Temple" from him - a honey company located in Ohio, run by Tony and Maria Lopez. They use beehives scattered across the country as safe houses and transit stations for people who need to hide their whereabouts.

Nine months ago, the apiary run by the couple was set on fire, killing both of them and seriously burning their daughter Vanessa, who works as a therapist. All the apiaries under the bankrupt honey company were repossessed by the bank, leaving only the burned one still under Vanessa's name.

Later, the detectives found a woman with bees crawling all over her body in the apiary. It turned out that she was using bee venom to treat the sequelae of burns. This woman was Vanessa.

Donald and others returned to the post office with Vanessa and the information about the "Church" and immediately arranged an interrogation...

Vanessa admitted that she was Dr. Sophia, and the reason she used paroled prisoners to kill clients of "The Temple" was for revenge!

The basement of the beehive where her parents lived had stored the wealth accumulated from decades of running the "Holy Temple". Nine months ago, a customer who coveted this wealth sneaked into the beehive and caused a fire when cutting the safe with acetylene, which caused the death of her parents. She didn't know which customer was the murderer, so she planned to kill all the people on the list in the account book one by one to avenge her parents.

Carrie copied the customer information of the "Sanctuary" and gave it to Reddington.

After checking the information, Lao Lei did not find any trace of Kaplan, which meant that his previous judgment was wrong. If he wanted to find Kaplan, he had to think of other ways.

At this time, Dembe had fully recovered and followed Reddington again. Thinking that it might be Kaplan who poisoned him, he felt very uncomfortable. They had a very good relationship before, and he couldn't figure out why she did this?
At Carrie's suggestion, Reddington explained Kaplan's past to Dembe and Elizabeth...

Kaplan's real name was Katherine Namik. She was Katharina's nanny thirty years ago and took care of Martha until she was four years old. In her mind, she had a special feeling for Katharina and Martha.
Later, Katarina disappeared, Martha lost her memory and was sent to Sam to be raised, and Kaplan became a "scavenger" by chance, and was recruited by Reddington a few years later...

After hearing this, Dembe understood why Kaplan followed Katarina's instructions, but Elizabeth was very shocked. She never dreamed that Kaplan had such a relationship with her!
Carrie finally said, "Liz, Dembe, Lao Lei and I have analyzed this. Kaplan must have been deceived. The 'Katerina' who instructed her to do these things must be a fake. We must find her as soon as possible to prevent her from getting deeper and deeper into trouble!"
