The Blacklist

Chapter 33 Spend million to buy some time
Hearing this, Reddington added: "Well, I know this person. After Barnes resigned from the government department, he started working on his own and plunged into the free market. He sold the products he designed and manufactured to anyone who paid a high price. He should have made a lot of profit.

"The chemical weapons he designed and produced can easily kill tens of thousands of people and are very popular in the underground world. But Barnes only sold products before and never participated in specific operations. If he starts to do it himself now, it will be terrible. The harm to society will definitely exceed that of most terrorists!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Cooper asked hurriedly, "Then do you know where we can find him?"

"I don't know yet." Reddington, "I need more conditions."

At this time, Mira's cell phone rang. After she answered the call, she immediately said, "Just now, a friend from the CDC told me that the suitcase was indeed a tool for releasing poison gas, but radioactive residues were found on it. It has been sent to the biochemical laboratory for special testing."

Cooper immediately said, "Tang, Mira, go to the laboratory immediately and send back the results as soon as you get them."

"Yes." The two agreed and immediately set off.

Reddington also said: "Well, I will also go find someone to ask about Barnes' situation. Let me know if there is any new information." After saying that, he left.

The few people who stayed in the post office, except Alam who was still searching for Manns' residence, had nothing to do for the time being and could only wait for news.

Cooper turned around and saw Gina following behind Carrie, he sighed, called the administrative staff of the base service department, and asked them to apply for temporary agent credentials and create a file for Gina. However, he has now come to terms with it, if there is any problem in the future, Carrie will be there to take care of it!
Elizabeth was not surprised by Gina's joining. She had already noticed some clues. When she heard that she was really going to join the company, she was the first to step forward to congratulate her, and the two of them immediately started chatting.

Carrie watched from the sidelines, confused just like in her previous life: Why is it so easy for women to improve their relationships? Of course, the same is true when they fall out.

At around ten o'clock, Mira called back and said that the nature of the poison gas had been determined to be a high concentration of Kuznetsov virus, and that the radioactivity on the aluminum suitcase used to release the gas came from strontium 90.

Immediately, Alam set up a conference call and invited Mira and Don to join; on this side, Elizabeth also contacted Dembe and asked him to call Reddington over.

As soon as the three-party conference call began, when Reddington heard that the radioactive material was strontium 90, he immediately said that he knew this thing was a waste byproduct of nuclear reactors, was toxic, and was highly regulated by government departments. There was only one supplier still alive in the underground market, but it was not under the jurisdiction of the United States.

Cooper immediately said: "Reddington, what I need you to find now is Barnes..."

"Okay, I admit that we can't find him now." Reddington said helplessly, "Barnes is not an ordinary criminal. If he wants to hide himself, it is really impossible to find him."

Everyone had no choice but to listen to Mira continue to explain the situation of the poison gas.

The Kutz virus used by Barnes this time can cause Kutz disease, a rare and fatal vascular disease. Once onset, it can cause vascular sclerosis, hypoxia, and eventually death. There is currently no cure. Under normal circumstances, the Kutz virus is extremely low infectivity, and it takes ten years for the infected to worsen and die. However, this time the virus quickly infected everyone and killed people within two minutes. It is obvious that it has been modified.

Experts at the CDC believe that this mutation is due to the use of strontium 90, but it is not clear how it was done. Hearing this, Reddington said, "So, Barnes needed a lot of strontium 90?"

Mira, on the other hand, consulted the experts and replied, "Yes, the experts believe that at least 500 grams of strontium-90 would be needed for a poisoning of this scale."

"I understand." Reddington said, "Okay, let's continue the meeting and prepare for action. I will find a way to find Barnes' location."

"Wait a minute." Cooper shouted, "Reddington, tell us how to find Barnes, and we will do it."

"You can't do it." Reddington said, "I plan to find the guy who sold Strontium 90 and ask him to ask Barnes for payment..." Having said that, he hung up the phone.

Among the people present, only Carrie knew what he was going to do. He suddenly thought of a plot: Lei was going to fly to Havana, Cuba, find the seller Manning, and offer to buy 12 kilograms of strontium 90 at double the price, in order to lure him to take back the goods that had already been sold to Barnes, in order to induce him to call Barnes and use the tracker to locate Barnes. In this process, he had to come up with enough payment to win the trust of the other party. Lei didn't have that much money at the moment, so he asked the accountant to raise money urgently...

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and walked outside, calling Demby in a corner without surveillance. Seeing that it was his call, Demby directly gave the pistol to Reddington.

"I have something else to do. I'm catching a plane!" said Reddington.

"Let the accountant come to me and prepare some funds for you to work around." Carrie said without further ado.

"Is this true? There is such a service?" Reddington asked in surprise.

"I support this good deed." Carrie could only say this as he couldn't say much over the phone.

"I understand. Thanks." Of course Reddington understood. He thanked him and hung up the phone.
-
Half an hour later, Carrie took Gina out for lunch and met Reddington's accountant Zeng Luli in a western restaurant. The three of them had a meal together and chatted.

Carrie asked the system to transfer 800 million to an account provided by Zeng Luli - he really wanted to help, so that he could catch Barnes as soon as possible to prevent more people from being harmed, and he spent more than one-third of his "funds" for this!
He knew that Barnes was looking for an immune person and preparing an antidote for his sick son, but his style of not taking other people's lives seriously and slaughtering people at will was too abominable, so he couldn't help but take action! -
At around 800: p.m., while Reddington was still on a private plane flying to Havana, Cuba, he received a satellite call from Zeng Luli, who said that the account she provided to a friend had received a remittance of million, and the other party had not made any requests; in addition, the source of the remittance had been traced, but could not be determined.

After hearing this, Reddington was stunned for a while. He didn't expect this result. Who is Carrie? Is he so generous?
