The Blacklist

Chapter 336: Collection of High-end Scavengers
In one day, Reddington gained two capable new subordinates, SER cracked the "Skinhead" drug trafficking organization, Carrie saved Elizabeth again, Elizabeth learned a lot, and the bail company recovered half of the bail... Everyone gained something and did not waste time.

Afterwards, Reddington said to Carrie alone: ​​"Lee, I think this is a good idea. It can teach Liz the real things. I will do this in the future..."

"Come on!" Carrie looked down on him, "You can't control Liz. Just like this time, she didn't listen to you at the critical moment. What if she gets into danger again? You don't want me to be your babysitter every time, do you?"

"I think this is a good idea!" Reddington said with a smile, "You are often free anyway, I can accommodate your time..."

Kerry ignored the topic and asked another question, "Old Lei, is there any news about Musk, the person I asked you to help investigate some time ago?" Musk was the one who instructed Mandy to poison the president behind the scenes.

Reddington replied: "We have a clue. This Musk is a professional criminal planner. It is said that he only takes big orders. Now I have only found out that he may be in Europe, but I don't know where exactly...

"However, I have another discovery: in Washington, there is a person who has served as a scavenger for Musk many times. There should be a connection between them..."

On Tuesday, June 6, Reddington handed over a new blacklist character to SER.

In the command hall, Elizabeth introduced the situation as usual: "Henry Prescott is a highly skilled cleaner, or a 'master of aftermath'. His main 'business' is to help people deal with the troubles after murder. He charges a high fee, but can use various means to get the murderer off the hook.

"For example, disguising the murder as an accident, completely erasing the murderer's traces, making the body disappear, arranging a serious criminal or a seriously ill dying person to take the blame, etc.

"I asked Kaplan, and she said that although Prescott is not well-known in the underground world, it is actually because he only serves 'high-end clients' such as wealthy people and politicians. She said that this man is quite smart and has made a lot of money from this 'business'!"

Alam followed up, "According to the clues provided by Reddington, I found out that this Prescott opened a business consulting company, but after checking, I found that it was a shell company, probably set up for money laundering.

"I asked SLR's Director Corissa to conduct a tax investigation on the company and found that a sum of its recent income came from an investment company whose owner is Jack Brickman."

Donald took Nawabi and Elizabeth to find Brickman, and got Prescott's contact information from him. The next step was naturally to locate and arrest him.

Prescott was very calm when he was taken to the post office. Although he had not figured out which department had arrested him, he was very sure that the law enforcement department could not have evidence of his crime. Instead, he claimed that he had many friends, all of whom were important people. If he was not released within 24 hours, someone would come looking for him! Donald was so angry that he laughed, but because there was really no direct evidence and nothing was found in his home, he decided to use a trick and release... Oh, no, it was to ask Carrie to do it!
-
Carrie came down from upstairs and personally interrogated Prescott. He found out what he wanted to know in half an hour - this guy also had a hobby of collecting trophies, and he believed that he was operating a formal business, and he also had electronic ledgers recording all orders stored in the cloud. With Carrie's talent for reading, these were naturally exposed!

After receiving the message, Donald led a team to conduct a search. To many people's surprise, the warehouse where Prescott collected the spoils was in the woods less than a hundred meters away from his home. He built a large basement in it. On the shelves inside, various boxes and bottles and jars were neatly arranged, and they were all numbered, but it was not clear what they meant for the time being.

However, after a dozen of the sealed steel barrels that were as big as oil drums were opened, it was enough to convict him - they were filled with corpses soaked in formalin solution!
Kerry didn't go to the warehouse, but directly took out his computer and downloaded the electronic account book. The simple encryption was useless to him, but he was shocked after decrypting it. In nine years, 152 cases, this guy has a lot of business! Then he thought to himself that this guy has a lot of sins and money, so he should find a chance to kill him!

After going through these cases roughly, Kerry began to think: more than half of these cases involved politicians, and even quite a few congressmen and senior officials; the other half of the clients were mostly wealthy people, and a small number were criminals in the underworld, including two cases involving Musk, both of which involved the disposal of corpses. How to deal with this situation made him cautious!
After thinking about it, he called Donald and asked him to take all the seized evidence to a secret safe house, seal it up, and keep it strictly confidential.

Then he took Gina to the White House and showed the account book to Palmer - he knew his own abilities, and it was better to let the president worry about the crimes involving so many politicians!

Even though Palmer wanted to be an upright and fair president, he was silent for a moment when he saw these crimes. There were too many people involved, and politicians were factional. One move could affect the entire body. Nearly eighty politicians were involved, including senior officials of the two parties, members of both houses of Congress, federal departmental officials, and chief executives of states and cities. This was a headache for him!
After thinking for a while, Palmer said, "Lee, this really scared me! I know there are many people in the government who have problems, but I never thought it would be this serious!

"Lee, I can only go against my campaign promise and my principles and ask you to suppress this matter for the time being... This matter can only be dealt with slowly!"

"I understand. I have already done so." Kerry nodded. "David, don't be so frustrated. Things have to be done step by step. There is no point in being anxious. If you act too hastily, it will cause unnecessary turmoil. I understand your thoughts."

"Thank you, Lee!" Palmer said with emotion.

Carrie continued, "In addition to this electronic account book, Prescott also has a warehouse that keeps almost all the important evidence. I have asked Donald to move all these things to a secret safe house. When we need to deal with a criminal, we can take them out as evidence..."
