The Blacklist

Chapter 318: Openly Revealing the Truth

At half past ten, Carrie called a meeting of the core agents of the Post Office in his office and introduced Julian Gale, who had just joined, to everyone.

Julian at this time was naturally not as rebellious as before. While he had great trust in Carrie, he also developed a strong liking for the other agents. Coupled with the improvement in his physical fitness, he felt very magical and was full of confidence in this department.

Donald first introduced the investigation of the ice hockey rink case, and then what happened this morning - Reddington's financial advisor George Pelagio was tied up and thrown in front of the police station with financial documents on him. The case is now coming to an end.

Then, Carrey began to talk about the most important thing: "Everyone knows something about Reddington, but Julian, who just joined us, doesn't know yet. Let me reiterate: Reddington is currently the most important informant of the CTU headquarters. In March 2013, he obtained an exemption document issued by the Attorney General and worked directly with the FBI Special Operations Group SER. At that time, there was an official name called 'Blacklist Project'!
"In the middle period, the IRS established SLR and SER, which were upgraded to be directly under the jurisdiction of DOJ. Later, CTU was established, SLR became the Special Enforcement Division, and SER became the Special Operations Division. This special 'blacklist plan' has never been interrupted.

"So far, the Blacklist Project has been in operation for four years. Based on the tips provided by Reddington, we have captured hundreds of important criminals, solved thousands of serious and backlog cases, and confiscated taxes and stolen money and goods worth more than 40 billion, an average of 10 billion per year. We are currently the absolute number one among all field offices of all law enforcement agencies!

"During this period, our cooperation with Reddington has encountered many crises, but we have successfully resolved them all. But now, the biggest crisis has come - one of Reddington's most important assistants has betrayed him. He has been planning and implementing this plan for several months, strangling Reddington step by step!

"Before, they were all independent cases, but the mass corpse case that occurred in the ice hockey arena last week means that the situation has completely escalated. We must also upgrade our actions to protect Reddington, our most important informant!"

Except for Julian, everyone else had a general understanding of these situations, but later people like Corissa, Nawabi, Jiva, Jeffrey, Elise, Tom and others did not know all of them, especially some of the things at the beginning; and the overall data was basically unknown to everyone, and they were also surprised when they heard these contents.

Julian, the latest to join, was even more dumbfounded. He had imagined a lot of things before, and thought that Reddington had connections with law enforcement agencies, and even the now extremely powerful CTU, and that there were high-level people protecting him. However, he never thought that Reddington had obtained immunity documents four years ago and cooperated with the FBI's special department!
At this time, he also remembered that that period of time was when the original FBI's hunt for Red Devil team was disbanded and Donald disappeared. After that, he never heard of any plan within the FBI to hunt for Reddington. Now he knew that this was the reason.

If it was a week ago, he would definitely be angry and furious, but now he can think about it calmly. Thinking about the achievements of the blacklist plan in the past four years, he must admit that this is far more beneficial than simply putting Reddington in prison. He is now really looking forward to his future work! ——
After everyone digested what he had just said, Carrey continued, "The following is what we are going to talk about: the crisis that Reddington is facing this time. After integrating all the information, we can now be sure that:

"The person who created this crisis and targeted Reddington and directed it behind the scenes is a woman pretending to be the legendary Soviet KGB spy Katerina Rostova. There is no detailed information about her yet.

"And the person responsible for planning and implementing these actions is also a woman - Reddington's most important assistant, K. Kaplan, nicknamed 'Mr. Kaplan', who is also a very famous 'scavenger' in the underground world!"

Elizabeth was stunned when she heard Katarina's name, but she believed Carrie. Since he said it was a fake, it didn't matter. He must be trying to find her mother through Lao Lei. He must be a bad guy!
But when she heard that it was Kaplan who carried out the action against Lao Lei, she subconsciously wanted to refute it, because in her impression and what she knew, Mr. Kaplan would never do such a thing! But Kerry said it so confidently that she hesitated again, so she didn't really speak. Kerry continued: "Kate Kaplan, formerly known as Catherine Namik, lost her mother at the age of six and grew up in a single-parent family. She was an excellent student and mastered multiple languages. She systematically studied forensic medicine and human anatomy, and later devoted herself to studying child care and has a master's degree in child care.

"After leaving school, Catherine moved around and worked as a caregiver for children of parents of different races and classes...

"By chance, she was hired as Catalina's nanny, responsible for taking care of her newborn daughter Martha, and gained her trust with her intelligence and loyalty."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Elizabeth, because they basically knew that she was the original Martha!

Elizabeth was a little excited. She had heard some of the content from Carrie before, but she didn't know about Mr. Kaplan's experience.

Gina held her hand and signaled her to stay calm.

Kerry nodded to comfort her, because there was something more explosive to say later: "Catherine loves children very much. After living together for several years, she almost regarded Martha as her own daughter. At the same time, she was actually a hidden homosexual and had a special feeling for Katarina..."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but start buzzing. This news was quite shocking!
Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock. She had never expected this, and it was so closely related to her and her mother!

Kerry took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "Catherine is very smart. She determined Katarina's true identity in daily life, but never said it out loud. She just supported her silently behind the scenes.

"In an emergency, Katharina had to kill a KGB agent at home in order to escape the control of the KGB. She was terrified at the time, but Catherine took over the rest of the matter very calmly, handling the scene and the body without leaving any traces!
“This was Catherine’s first time doing that, but she did it really well, proving she has a talent for ‘scavenging’!”

At this point, everyone felt like they were just listening to a legend!
