The Blacklist

Chapter 315 Mr. Kaplan's Critical Attack
While Reddington was busy looking for Kaplan, she was driving a pickup truck, towing an RV, on the interstate highway, heading west from Ohio to Indiana...

Suddenly, a pain came from the right back of his head again. Kaplan had to stop on the side of the road temporarily, take an aspirin mixed with beer, and then continue on his way.

When it was dark, she came to a motel on the side of the highway, but she had to move to Room 8 because a couple renewed their lease for Room 7 that she had originally booked.

At night, Kaplan sat on his bed, listening to the quarreling couple next door and thinking about his past.

The couple in Room 8 was arguing and had no intention of checking out. Kaplan was unwilling to wait any longer, so he used his own tricks to make the man disappear when he went out to smoke. Not long after, the woman checked out and left.

As soon as she moved into Room 8, she took out her tools, cut open the plasterboard on the wall behind the cupboard, and took out several vacuum-packed torsos and limbs from a hidden cubicle...

On Wednesday, April 4, the FBI received a serious case - in an ice hockey arena in a remote town in Indiana, 12 bodies of various types were neatly placed on the ice at minus 86 degrees Celsius, most of which had turned into mummies! And detailed information was placed on each body, all pointing to Reddington.

These are the corpses that Mr. Kaplan, the scavenger, cleaned up for Reddington. Now they have reappeared in the world and become deadly bullets shot at the Red Devil.

The FBU headquarters sent senior agent Julian Gale to investigate here. He used to be a member of the special team hunting down Reddington, but the team was disbanded for no reason four years ago and the members went their separate ways. Now that he has the opportunity to investigate Reddington again, Julian is determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

At 86: am at the post office base, Donald received a call from his old colleague Julian, who claimed that bodies had been found, and all of them were accompanied by detailed evidence pointing to Reddington, and invited him to join the investigation...

Donald was shocked and agreed, saying that he needed some time to deal with the case at hand and would try to get to Indiana as soon as possible to participate in the investigation.

After hanging up the phone, Donald immediately went upstairs to find Carrie and said anxiously: "Lee, things are not good. The FBI has received a big case. Someone has laid out 86 bodies, and they are all related to Reddington..."

Carrie immediately realized what had happened and comforted him, "Tang, don't worry. Explain the situation clearly. Also, how did you know?" Then he handed him a cup of tea to calm him down.

Donald calmed down after drinking a sip of tea and said, "Lee, you know that I was a member of the special team that hunted down Reddington. After he surrendered to the FBI, I was transferred to SER to work. The previous special team was disbanded, and the other members went their separate ways.

"One of my former colleagues in the special task force, Julian Gale, has been working in the Organized Crime Division in recent years. He is now a senior agent. This time, he was sent to Indiana by the FBI to investigate the 86 mummies found in a small town ice hockey arena. They are all related to Reddington...

"Just now, Julian called me and invited me to participate in the investigation. What do you think I should do?"

"Easy!" Carrie said, "I'll go with you and take over the case." "I'm afraid that won't work..." Donald frowned and said, "I know Julian, he has always wanted to catch Reddington himself, and now that he has this opportunity, he will never give up!"

"That depends on the specific situation." Carrie said, "If he is available, I don't mind transferring him to the post office and giving him a new job; if not, for our common interests, I don't mind letting him lose his job!"

Donald said, "Lee, will you kill him for this?"

Kerry looked at him and said, "Theoretically, no, unless he goes too far!"

At 650: p.m., Kerry, Gina, Elizabeth, Jiva, Donald, Nawabi, and Mira arrived in Indiana on a Gulfstream , and then changed to a vehicle provided by the CTU state bureau to rush to the town where the incident occurred; SLR and SER forensic personnel and field operations team members also took another chartered plane and would arrive two hours later.

At around four o'clock, the convoy arrived at the ice hockey arena in the town where the incident occurred. The FBI's on-site person in charge, Agent Julie, immediately came out to check, but saw his old colleague Donald, who greeted him with a smile and hugged him. He thought it was a brother who came to help, but the next moment he was shocked and angry!
After the hug, Donald took out a document and handed it over with a somewhat shocked look on his face, saying, "Julian, I'm sorry, we have to take over this case!"

"What did you say?" Julian was stunned. He took the document and looked at it: CTU Headquarters Special Enforcement Division took over the small town mass corpse case! There were also signatures of the two directors of CTU Headquarters and FBI Headquarters below.

Looking at the expression of his old colleague, Donald said, "I'm sorry, Julian, this is a decision made by the General Administration, and the case is too serious..."

"Stop!" Julian said angrily with a ferocious look on his face. "Director Lesler, I know you are doing well in CTU now and have been promoted to director, but you can't do things like this, right? I asked you to come and help, and to make up for the regret that our previous special team failed to catch the Red Devil, but you just want to snatch the case away!"

Donald knew his temper and was not angry. He followed the method he had thought of before and said, "Julian, you misunderstood me! I am not trying to steal credit. I am from the Special Operations Division. This time I came mainly to see you, my old friend. The Special Operations Division is in charge of this case. The person next to you is Director Richard Carey. In fact, he is also my superior. I have to listen to him."

Julian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kerry, who was walking towards the ice hockey arena with several beauties. His momentum inexplicably weakened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Tang, who is this Director Kerry?"

"He is the dual director of CTU and IRS, and also a senior consultant to USSS and NCIS..." Donald "revealed" in a low and mysterious voice, "Moreover, he is a close friend of the President and has connections in both houses of Congress. He is a real big shot, so you must not offend him!"

Julian fell silent upon hearing this. Now that he was nearly 40 years old and had been tortured by society for many years, he naturally knew how powerful a director of a law enforcement department with such a label was. He tried to calm down, but his obsession still made him ask the question in his mind: "Tang, tell me the truth, why does CTU want to keep Reddington?"

Donald was also stunned. He knew that Julian was a genius in solving cases in the FBI and was unconventional in his investigations, but he still didn't expect that he was so sensitive and pointed out the key to the matter directly!
