The Blacklist

Chapter 357: The informant becomes a lone wolf and causes alarm
An hour later, Alam found out about the CIA informant, Sherif Haq, a Beirut native who was once wanted by Interpol for fraud. He later became an informant for the CIA and provided valuable intelligence several times. He later got a green card to live in the United States. He currently opened a convenience store in Roslyn, Maryland - not far from the main entrance of the officers' club where the accident happened!

When Donald learned about this, he immediately led people over...

More than an hour later, Abby's inspection also produced results. The bomb that exploded on the golf course did use a plastic shell, but it was made of degradable corn fiber. In the eastern region, this material is mainly used to make milk barrels... Based on the analysis of the explosion traces at the scene, Abby concluded that the bomb was made directly from a milk barrel as its shell!
In addition, Abby analyzed the evidence found after the warehouse explosion and determined that the explosive was detonated by a disposable mobile phone! Among the many explosion fragments, she found a damaged mobile phone memory chip. After using various methods to recover the data, she found a call record from it - it was an incoming call, probably to detonate the bomb! ——
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Donald, Elizabeth and Dumby arrived in Rosslyn and found the convenience store of CIA informant Sharif.

When questioned, Sharif acted very panicked and scared, accusing them of coming to find him and saying that if he was discovered by those terrorists, he would die!
Elizabeth comforted him and said that he only needed one answer, which was the current whereabouts of the terrorists or what their next target would be?
Sharif said he didn't know because he only learned the information by chance, but he added something he hadn't said before: the explosion on the golf course was just the beginning!
Donald and others were very disappointed, but they did not force him anymore. After all, he was an informant of the CIA and had made some contributions before. After confirming that he really did not know the follow-up intelligence, they gave up and left!
When they were driving for half an hour and were on their way back to Washington, Carrie called...
-
The post office, SLR, and Abby, who had been monitoring the cell phone number, quickly located it and found that the phone was at Sherriff's convenience store in Rosslyn, Maryland!

Kerry immediately called Donald, "Don, are you still in Roslyn? There is something wrong with Sharif or someone around him. The cell phone that detonated the warehouse bomb is now in his store..."
-
Donald and the others immediately turned back, but saw a fire truck driving towards the same destination with the sirens on from a distance! When they arrived in front of the convenience store again, they found that it was already engulfed in fire...

This reminded them of what Sharif had said before, and they believed that this was caused by terrorists!

An hour later, after the fire brigade put out the fire, a charred body was found in the convenience store, confirming their guess!

Then, Donald received another call from Kerry: The cell phone signal was moving towards Washington!
According to Abby's location, the phone arrived at the intersection of M Street and Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C. at around 6 o'clock. It was too late to wait for Donald to come back, so Kerry personally led the team to the scene...

With the help of the explosive detector, SLR agents soon found a homeless middle-aged black man sitting on a bench at the street corner. There was a high explosive reaction in the blue backpack he was holding in his arms, and he was holding an old flip phone in his hand, staring at the screen, no one knew what he was doing!
Jeffrey and Jiva directed several members of the operation team to quietly surround them, while other agents directed the field operation team to start blocking passers-by and gradually expand the cordon outwards...

During this process, Carrie stood not far away, scanning the people around her with smart glasses, while Gina stealthily entered the crowd, searching for suspicious targets while paying attention to the sounds coming from the headset. She was waiting for Carrie to give instructions.

Soon, Kerry found the target and gave instructions to Gina... In less than 30 seconds, Gina and two action team members arrested Sharif, who was standing in the crowd looking at the bench! Afterwards, the action team members revealed their identities and began to set up a cordon normally, persuading the citizens to retreat dozens of meters away...

Next to the bench, Jeffrey and his men held down the homeless man, opened his backpack and saw that it was indeed a bomb made of C4 explosives and equipped with a timer. The homeless man, who was obviously mentally challenged, still emphasized: the kind convenience store owner asked him to wait here with the bag, and would bring him a hamburger later!

There are still five minutes left on the bomb timer. Jeffrey wants to take the backpack and throw it somewhere deserted, but Jiva says confidently that she can dismantle it!

Carrie knew Jiva's ability, but still walked to the bench and asked Jeffrey to evacuate everyone. He would stay with Jiva - at the last moment, he would take action to eliminate the danger!
Ji Wa performed well and dismantled the bomb fuse in just two minutes. She smiled and said, "Boss, I have seen this type of bomb structure many times. This is the fourth one I have dismantled with my own hands!"

"Not bad!" Carrie nodded and praised. He picked up the bomb and looked at it. He found that it was made very crudely. It seemed that Sharif's level was not very good. He used his identity as an informant to deceive the CIA and carried out a surprise attack after arriving in the United States! Thinking that Gibbs and others were injured because of this guy, he felt it was not worth it.

In the subsequent interrogation, it was confirmed that Sharif was just a "lone wolf". After being captured by the CIA a few years ago, he gradually gained trust with a submissive attitude and got a green card. After coming to the United States, he found that life was not good, so he gradually developed a mentality of revenge...

The matter is simple, but Sharif's change of mentality is a warning to all law enforcement agencies - informants who have been transformed from criminals may betray again!
The Post Office took action and solved a case in just one day that had troubled NCIS and CID for several days, injured a number of agents, caused complaints from the two departments to the CIA, and involved a terrorist attack by naturalized immigrants in the country. This made CTU very prominent among all law enforcement agencies!
In response to this, Wright and Cooper rushed to the post office to praise and commend the SLR and SER departments!
David Palmer even called Carrie specifically to express his approval, praise and encouragement!

Although Carrey did not think that solving this case was anything great, it seemed extremely magical in the eyes of others. Langley from the CIA and Quantico from the FBI both came to ask for the case files and added the case-solving process into the teaching cases.
