The Blacklist

Chapter 333 Finding the Mastermind Behind the Incident
Kerry took note of NSC Secretary Dulles, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dewey, Navy Commander Sheridan, CIA Director Laurel, DIS Director Brana, as well as the two NSA directors Rayburn and Roger who were previously suspended for investigation. It can be said that most of the entire NSC members are problematic!

It seems that it is not easy for Palmer to be president!
At this time, the door of the conference room opened, and Gina and Jiwa walked in together. After looking around the room, they walked to Kerry's side and reported softly in his ear...

Cooper's seat was facing the door. He saw the two people coming in and looked in the direction they came from. He then saw Carrie. He was a little worried about Palmer, but his nervousness suddenly relaxed. He gently touched Wright beside him and motioned her to look over! Sure enough, Wright was also relieved after seeing Carrie.

Although other people noticed the two people coming in, they thought they were White House staff and did not pay much attention. They did not look at them any more and did not find Carrie.

In fact, although CIA Director Lauer and DIS Director Branagh have never met Carrey, both agencies have suffered losses many times and have read his information. If they saw him, they would probably recognize him.

While listening to Gina and Jiva's reports, Carrie wrote down the key points in a notebook. After a while, she finished writing, tore off the paper, and asked Jiva to take it to Palmer.

Palmer recognized Jiva, nodded, and looked at the note she placed in front of him...

After a moment, he raised his head and looked around at everyone sitting at the conference table. His cold eyes made everyone shut up!

After a moment of silence, Palmer spoke up, "According to the latest intelligence from the Los Angeles branch of CTU, they have successfully captured the person who made the fake recording. This person was hired by a secret organization to use the voices of Sayyid Ali and the intelligence chiefs of three Middle Eastern countries to synthesize the meeting recording that you used as evidence... In addition, it has been found that Sayyid was not in Cyprus on April 4!
"The White House Guard's interrogation of Roger, the former acting NSA director, also yielded results. He admitted that he was a member of a secret organization called 'Warhammer'. The organization was established with the support of 12 arms companies from all over the world. In order to achieve the goal of expanding sales, it did not hesitate to plan and launch a war..."

At this point, he looked at everyone present and said, "I don't know how many people in the government are members of the 'Warhammer' organization, or have received benefits from the organization, but the series of events brought about by this nuclear crisis makes me very suspicious. There is a problem with my team!

"Everyone, let's end today's meeting here! The Joint Chiefs of Staff will be responsible for recalling the fleet and related troops that have been dispatched. I will discuss with the Secretary of State and resolve this incident through diplomatic channels...

“Before noon, I need to receive preliminary reports from the National Security Council, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and various intelligence agencies, explaining to me the phenomena that occurred during this operation…

"I hope everyone here is loyal and competent! Well, let's adjourn the meeting!"
-
As a bystander, Carrey watched the participants leave with such a good look on their faces, and laughed in his heart. Compared with the original plot, his appearance shortened the process a lot, and even found evidence without giving those guys a chance to impeach the president! It seems that his skill as a plot terminator has not regressed.

Although the domestic and foreign financial groups targeting Palmer were defeated this time, there is still one guy who must be found out - the one who actually paid for the nuclear warhead and handed it over to the "Second Wave" organization to come to the United States to cause trouble! After leaving the meeting room, Gina received another call from Los Angeles, and this time she directly gave it to Carrie...

Abby reported that Jack got a key recording secretly made by Eric, the man who forged the recording, through the one he arrested. It is said that this recording can be used to find out the information of the employer behind the scenes. However, the flash memory chip is damaged. She is currently leading the technical team of the branch to read and recover the data. It will take some time to extract the audio, know the content, and thus determine the identity of the employer.

Carrie asked her to try her best and call him as soon as she got the information. He also notified Jeffrey and Julian to be ready for action at any time, with the goal of arresting the person behind the scenes later - he was sure that this person had already arrived in Los Angeles.
-
At 9:50 Eastern Time, Carrie received a call from Abby, saying that most of the recording data had been successfully recovered and divided into three sections, which were sent to her at the same time:

The first recording was a phone call between a man named Kingsley and Shirley four months ago, asking her to help introduce the then NSA director Rayburn and retired director Roger, and paying her one million US dollars for this;
The second recording was a conversation between Kingsley and Sayid, the leader of the "Second Wave" organization, two months ago, discussing the transportation and detonation plan of the nuclear warhead...

The third recording is more than six hours long. Kingsley calls an unknown person and orders him to kill other people and ensure that the nuclear warhead is safely sent to the plane...

At present, Abby has confirmed the identity of Kingsley in the recording - Peter Kingsley, an oil tycoon from Turkmenistan, and a member of the Caspian Oil Interest Group; she is now searching for the person who received the order in the third recording through voiceprint data, but it is estimated to be very difficult...

Carrie said directly: "Abby, you did a great job! I will check the last person! Notify Jeffrey, Julian, Jack, and Tony to search for Peter Kingsley in Los Angeles. Once found, arrest him immediately, alive is best, but dead is fine too!"

"Understood, boss!" Abby agreed and happily went to convey the order.
-
After putting down his phone, Carrie used his laptop to operate it and found the voiceprint information in the Pentagon's military database - an Army special forces soldier, a sergeant of the Coral Snake Special Operations Team.

Then, he took his computer and went to find Palmer. The situation was now clear. This Peter Kingsley was the mastermind behind the nuclear bomb attack, or he might be a spokesperson for some force.

After listening to the three recordings, Palmer was very angry - because of Shirley, he didn't expect his ex-wife to go so far and collude with foreign forces to participate in such a big conspiracy! He was also angry about the betrayal of the two former NSA directors, and he was also angry that a Central Asian businessman dared to plan a nuclear attack on the United States!
Kerry comforted him, "David, didn't we talk about this before? If you sit in the position of president, this kind of thing will definitely happen, and it will not happen only once. Just deal with it normally. It won't be a rebellion!"
