The Blacklist

Chapter 316: Eighty-six Corpses Arranged
Carrie ignored the conversation between Donald and Julian, and walked directly into the ice hockey arena with a few people around him. When he saw the inside, he was also shocked!
86 body bags were neatly arranged on the ice. Dozens of forensic personnel were checking and collecting evidence. There were more than a dozen long tables piled with documents and materials on the sidelines. A dozen other people were verifying the materials. There were also temporarily installed computers, printers, scanners, routers and other equipment, and they seemed very busy.

Not only Carrie, but everyone who came in with him were experienced senior agents, but it was the first time they had seen so many corpses laid out together, and they were all amazed!
Julian, who had been prepared by Donald, followed in and stepped forward and said, "Director Kerry, right? I'm Julian Gale, a senior agent in the FBI's Organized Crime Division. Nice to meet you!"

"Hello, Agent Gale." Carrie shook his hand. "Don should have told you just now that we are taking over this place!"

"Yes, Tang said so," Julian said. "Although I have reservations about this, I will obey the orders of the General Administration." He admitted the matter, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Kerry nodded, looked at him and said, "Agent Gale, if that's the case, I know you're a little unwilling, but this is the reason. It involves the principle of confidentiality. Tang and I can't say anything more to you. Okay, you can leave with your people and equipment now, but all the information must be left behind."

Julian could only say, "I understand. I can arrange it... Director Kerry, can I make a request?"

"Oh? You tell me!" Carrie asked with interest.

"Can I stay with some of my colleagues to help?" Julian said, "Director Kerry, I know the rules. We are just co-organizers and will never affect your work."

Carrie looked at him deeply and said with a smile: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Don, so I'll call you Julian! Are you so obsessed with Reddington?"

"Director, you know that?" Julian said in surprise, "I admit that Reddington is the only mission target I have not completed in my career. I am really unwilling to accept this."

Kerry didn't expect him to be so humble. He had heard Donald's words before, and thought that this guy was stubborn! In this case, he naturally agreed to give him a chance, and said: "Julian, for Don's sake, you can select some people to cooperate in the case, but the principle is that you are sure to control their behavior. If you can do this, you can get a confidentiality agreement from Don!"

"I understand!" Julian's eyes immediately lit up. "Don't worry, Director Kerry, I will take care of it!" After saying that, he went to find Donald excitedly.

Watching him run away, Elizabeth stepped forward and said, "Lee, can you let them participate in this?" She was worried that this matter involved Reddington, and that if outsiders got involved, it would lead to bad consequences.

"He gave me a good feeling just now. I want to try and see if I can make him one of our own." Carrie said, "We need to expand our team... Well, we can't give up the FBI position either!" Haha! Hearing what he said, Gina, Elizabeth and others all laughed.

Two hours later, two-thirds of the FBI personnel had evacuated, and the large group of personnel from the post office also arrived. Under the coordination of the leaders of both sides, they cooperated seamlessly and immediately entered the working state, matching the information left on each body with the FBI criminal database, finding relevant case files, and reorganizing the files...

Carrie looked through the data on the 86 bodies that the FBI had compiled before, and immediately put aside most of his worries - all the dead were criminals who deserved their punishment, and there were no innocent people. This way, his psychological pressure was much less, and he no longer felt guilty!
From a legal perspective, these are all criminal acts, but for Kerry, that's no problem! The right to interpret the law here belongs to those in power, and he is now one of the representatives.

Of course, although the local government and the FBI immediately took confidentiality measures, many high-ranking politicians and law enforcement agencies still knew about this incident, which naturally caused a big response. Therefore, after CTU took over, it had to come up with a solution and explanation, which required some thought.
-
Donald wanted to develop Julian into a comrade-in-arms, so he consciously strengthened his contact with him. For a moment, the two seemed to have returned to the time when they were in the same group, and their relationship immediately returned to a close state.

Julian Gale is an agent with great ideas and abilities. He has been promoted step by step from the grassroots to the current senior agent, and his crime-solving rate in the FBI headquarters is at the forefront. However, he has always been brooding over the fact that he did not catch Reddington that year. This time, so many corpses and information related to him were discovered. He had great hopes of catching Reddington and convicting him, but in the end the case was taken away by CTU.

Julian, unwilling to give up, found a way to stay. On the one hand, he wanted to join the investigation, and on the other hand, he always had suspicions in his heart - he suspected that there were high-ranking people in the government departments who were protecting Reddington, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why law enforcement agencies across the country could not catch him after more than 20 years of wanted list!

So after CTU's Special Enforcement Division took over the investigation, Julian insisted on staying and joining, insisting on investigating secretly in private, but his goal turned to investigating whether CTU was sheltering Reddington!
Donald, who was very familiar with Julian, of course discovered his actions and took precautions and conducted counter-investigations - this was something he and Kerry had agreed upon in advance.

For other agents involved in the investigation, the 86 bodies represented at least fifty cases. It was indeed a bit scary to see them arranged in front of everyone. Moreover, things really got unusual next - after the preliminary results of the investigation were reported to the CTU headquarters, all the case materials related to these bodies were marked as SC17 level (highly sensitive and confidential information), and no one was allowed to read them without level authorization!

That is to say, among all the people present in the investigation, except for Carrie who had level five authority, no one else could access the relevant case information!

After discovering this, Julian was a little overwhelmed. He was sure in his heart that high-ranking government officials were protecting Reddington, but the level of this person or these people was difficult for him to investigate, let alone shake!

After knowing that Carrie had level five clearance, he began to consciously contact her, hoping to find out some inside information; in addition, he also privately asked Donald about Carrie and CTU's situation. He had no intention of giving up and was very persistent.
