The Blacklist

Chapter 32 Gina encounters a major case as soon as she starts work
The two entered the post office together this time. For this purpose, Carrie asked the guard for a visitor's certificate for Gina, and she was the guarantor.

Seeing that he brought Gina in, Cooper unhappily asked him to go to the office.

Kerry shrugged his shoulders and said to Mira beside him: "Mira, help me take care of Gina for a while, I'm going to talk to the boss!"

Out of a woman's sensitivity, Mira had already sensed something. She asked Gina to sit down next to Carrie's desk, poured her a cup of coffee, and whispered to her about women's topics.

Donald and Alam looked at each other when they saw this scene, not knowing what to say.

Elizabeth, who was supposed to be here as well, took two days off because of what happened to Tom before, and stayed at home with him, to comfort him.

In the office, Cooper said angrily, "Richard, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing!" Carrie spread her hands and said, "Gina is my informant now. I believe she won't make mistakes again, so I brought her here to apply for a temporary agent status from you so that she can help us with our work."

"How is that possible?" Cooper was almost laughing out of anger. "It's true that she signed the exemption documents, but her original identity was indeed a criminal. How could she be a temporary agent?"

"Nothing is impossible." Carrie said, "Cooper, have you forgotten that when the DOJ was verifying Gina's situation, they had already determined that the two murders she committed in the United States were confidential cases that could not be prosecuted and had been erased, and her other crimes all happened abroad and there was no evidence...

"From a legal point of view, Gina is a normal ordinary tourist in the United States. However, after paying personal income tax to the IRS, she has obtained a legal U.S. residence permit. In addition, she is my informant. According to the FBI's employment rules, it is completely legal and reasonable for me to apply for her temporary agent status."

Cooper was confused by his words. After thinking about it, he couldn't find any flaws.

At this time, Carrie said again: "Cooper, given your level, this is a trivial matter. Of course, if you don't agree, I can only take Gina to the IRS and ask Deputy Director Most to get her an IRS certificate, and then let her come here as my assistant...

"Well, this is also possible. It's just that more people will know about this, which is not very conducive to keeping it secret, but it's not a big deal! Okay, boss, don't worry about it, let's do it this way, I'm leaving!"

"Wait a minute, Richard." Cooper stopped him and looked at him sighing helplessly, feeling very tired. "Okay, I agree to give Gina a temporary agent status...but let me make it clear that you are responsible for her future actions. If anything goes wrong, you will be held accountable."

"No problem, I'm her guarantor." Carrie achieved her goal, so this little thing was no problem at all.

At this moment, Donald pushed the door open and said, "Cooper, there has been a biological attack on the Red Line (the U-shaped subway line in northern Washington), and the General Administration has asked us to take over!"

When the SER team arrived at the Woodley Park Station on the Red Line of the subway, 8.5 kilometers northwest, the area had been completely blocked off. Police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances surrounded the station, but the innermost circle was filled with people from the CDC. The SER team's level was high enough to allow them to enter the inner circle, but they were not allowed to go down to the subway station.

Alam, who seldom goes out on field missions, also came this time. As soon as he arrived at the scene, he connected to the subway line's surveillance system. When he found the footage of the carriage where the accident occurred, everyone was horrified - an entire carriage, including a 9-year-old child, all 37 passengers were dead, their faces were black, their blood vessels burst, and their deaths were horrific!
"Fuck! Damn bastards! How cruel!" Carrie cursed, and then said: "Mira, ask the people at the CDC if they found anything unusual at the scene?"

Mira, who came from the CIA, had extensive connections and immediately found the person in charge at the scene. After asking around, he came back a few moments later and said that there was an aluminum silver-white suitcase in the car where the accident occurred, which was suspected to be a poisoning tool. An angry Carrie took over the scene and gave a direct order: "Aram, check the surveillance of this station and the previous station, compare the people leaving here with the people entering the previous station, and find out who took the suitcase."

Donald was not angry. Instead, he felt that his response was correct. He said, "Richard, you take charge here. I'll go pick up Liz." After saying that, he was about to leave.

"Tang!" Carrie called him. "After you pick up Liz, you don't need to come over. Aram will send the situation at the scene over. You go directly to Reddington and ask him to help us find the guy who poisoned us!"

"Okay, I understand." Donald agreed and ran away.

"Mira, keep in touch with the people at the CDC to determine what the poison is?" Carrie said again.

"Understood." Mira responded and went to make a phone call.

After a moment, Aram called out, "Richard, I found him, look!"

Kerry immediately went over, looked at his laptop, and listened to his explanation.

Aram played the video and said, "Look, this middle-aged man in a baseball cap and windbreaker was carrying an aluminum briefcase when he entered the previous Dupont Circle station. Four minutes later, he left the Woodley Park station with his hands in his pockets, and the briefcase was gone!"

"That's him!" Kerry nodded. "Aram, find out his identity. We have to catch him as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried there will be a next time."

Hearing this, Aram was shocked and immediately said, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible! But it's better to go back to the base, the Internet speed here is too slow."

Kerry nodded, called to Mira who was not far away, and helped Alam carry the computer and equipment, and walked towards the outer parking lot.

Gina, who was in the car, saw them coming and immediately started the car. As soon as they got in, she drove out. When she heard Carrie say "go back", she understood, stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed.

Mira, who was sitting in the back seat and was also an expert driver, immediately nodded and expressed her approval of Gina's driving skills.

When they returned to the post office, Donald, Elizabeth and Reddington just walked in, and Cooper immediately called them to a case analysis meeting.

Alam had already found the identity of the middle-aged man in the video. He was Fendrick Barnes, the former chief chemist of the National Defense Research Institute in Annapolis. At that time, he was a designer of weapons of mass destruction approved by the government. Cellulose, black phosphorus and other super-toxic chemical agents were all developed by the team he led. Five years ago, he suddenly resigned for unknown reasons and sold his property. There has been no public news since then...
