The Blacklist

Chapter 347: Pretending to be a Dead Terrorist

Reddington was now somewhat immune to Carrey. He didn't make a fuss, but just shook his head and sighed: "Okay, I know you know it, but what you don't know is what a good investment this is!"

"Just carefully control the people running this business and don't let them cause you any trouble!" Kerry said disdainfully, "If you want to keep doing this for a long time, you should train some good executors to check the houses beforehand and restore them to their original state afterwards. Don't cause any losses to the owners, or else the police will call you repeatedly and your business will be ruined!"

Hmm? Reddington was stunned. This hit the point! So he asked, "Lee, have you ever done this business before?"

"I'm not that free!" Carrie was too lazy to pay attention to him and buried her head in eating her steak. It was made by a Michelin three-star chef today and it tasted very good. Don't let it get cold!
Everyone was used to seeing Lei being humiliated in front of Carrie. Gina, Elizabeth and Dembe all laughed and were happy to see it!
Reddington himself had long been accustomed to this, and did not take it as an offense. Instead, he thought about what Carrie said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. It seemed that if he wanted to do this business well, he really had to train some suitable employees...

In fact, Kerry is quite optimistic about his business. As long as it is managed properly, it is indeed promising. Although it can be imagined that it is mostly used to serve those wanted criminals, it is better to have the channels in the hands of Lao Lei than in the hands of others! The reason why he confronted Lao Lei was to give him advice in disguise, hoping that he could do this well and not end up with a whimper.

Three days later, the condition of the boy with the "golden blood type" who underwent a heart transplant stabilized, and his heart began to enter a recovery period. Although he did not know that it was his biological mother who saved him, he would live well with his mother's legacy!
Elizabeth, Gina, Nawabi and others went to the hospital to see him. Through the glass window of the ICU, they saw the child who had woken up and was talking and laughing with his adoptive parents. They all wished in their hearts that he could live happily and never know the truth! —
It was already August, and the weather in Washington was still hot. The agents, who had finally had a chance to take a break, were reluctant to go out after arriving at the post office. The air conditioning in the building was very powerful, and it was so comfortable to stay inside!
Kerry had a sudden idea and asked the logistics department to buy ten self-service ice cream machines and ten self-service cold drink machines and put them on each floor for everyone to enjoy for free, which won great praise from everyone! ——
On August 8, Elizabeth went to find Reddington, preparing to go visit her grandfather Dom with him. When she entered the villa hall, she saw a lot of banknotes piled on the long dining table. Lori Halls, the money laundering expert who was recently conquered by Reddington, was happily counting the money!

Seeing her come in, Reddington, who was drinking red wine and smoking a cigar, laughed and said, "Liz, look, this is the profit my new investment business made in three weeks, nearly $25. What do you think? My vision is not bad, right?"

Elizabeth has seen the world now. She disdains the money on the table and just says, "Old Lei, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you!" She doesn't want others to know that her grandfather is still alive. She walks aside and says, "Old Lei, shall we go see Dom?"

Reddington looked embarrassed and said, "Liz, I have something else to do here. How about I let Felix go with you?"

"I know you and Dom always quarrel when you meet, but we are a family after all..." Elizabeth was unhappy, "Dom has been in poor health recently, you can't let him come to us!"

"OK, OK, can't I go?" Reddington had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"Great!" Elizabeth put away her expression and said excitedly, "Let's go!"

Alas! Reddington sighed. He was tricked again!
-
On Wednesday, August 8, the post office received a joint investigation notice from the headquarters, asking them to pay attention to and track an Eastern European terrorist named Ilyas Surkov, and to immediately arrest or kill him if he arrives in the United States. Reddington, who was drinking tea at Carrie's place, saw the notice and threw it aside with disdain, saying in a critical tone: "Lee, your CTU headquarters' intelligence system is so poor that they asked you to track a dead man! Hahaha, it would be a miracle if you could find him!"

Kerry didn't say anything. Elizabeth, who was accompanying him, asked, "Old Lei, what do you mean by that?"

"I know a very good doctor... Oh, of course, his main clients are people in the underground world..." Reddington said, "Fifteen months ago, he told me that Surkov died of pancreatic cancer!"

Elizabeth was stunned. She looked at the contents of the cooperation notice and didn't know what to say!
-
In the afternoon, Elizabeth informed all SER agents of the situation, which surprised everyone.

Alam reported the situation he found on the Internet: "Yesterday, a chemical plant in Leeds, England was attacked by terrorists and a huge explosion occurred, killing the factory foreman and injuring many people. The explosion produced a large amount of toxic dust, which seriously polluted the surrounding environment... Later, the terrorist Ilyas Surkov claimed responsibility for the incident.

"According to intelligence, Surkov is an active terrorist who has planned many attacks, sabotage and kidnappings. He once carried out the Lisbon subway bombing and kidnapped three journalists in Crimea..."

Nawabi continued, "According to what Liz heard from Reddington, the real Surkov died of illness 15 months ago. However, in the past 15 months, 'Surkov' claimed responsibility for three attacks, namely the crash of a humanitarian aid plane, the Boko Haram massacre, and the bombing of a restaurant in Paris. Including yesterday's bombing of a chemical plant in the UK, there are a total of four terrorist attacks!"

Donald said: "If what Reddington said is true, then someone must be carrying out terrorist acts in the name of Surkov... Well, I have to inform Cooper."

Cooper was also very surprised when he received Donald's call. The "Surkov" who claimed to be responsible for four terrorist attacks in the past 15 months turned out to be a fake! If this is the case, it means that the previous reconnaissance directions of the British and American intelligence agencies were wrong!

After thinking for a while, Cooper asked Donald to go to the UK to communicate the situation with MI6 (British Military Intelligence - Six) and try to clarify the situation. If possible, join forces with MI6 to capture the impostor!
That night, Donald flew to England with Elizabeth, Nawabi and Demby.
