The Blacklist

Chapter 374: Solving the Case Here and Arresting People There
On the SER side, Abby and Alam analyzed the software comparison results and came to the conclusion that the "alibi maker" should use plastic surgery, makeup and other means to create a stand-in with a highly similar appearance to the suspect, and then use the stand-in's appearance in other places to cover up the suspect's actions!
In other words, this "alibi maker" is not a scavenger who cleans up the criminal's traces afterwards, but a participant in the criminal conspiracy - because he created an alibi, the criminal can commit the crime with confidence! In a sense, this guy is instigating and condoning the crime, which is even more hateful!

After using his advanced technology to remove the disguise from the suspect in the video, Abby uploaded his facial features to the criminal database for query and quickly matched his real identity: Keshir Shula, a homeless vagrant who was detained for drug use last month and whose whereabouts were unknown after his release.

In the name of CTU, Elizabeth issued a joint investigation notice to the national police system to track down the whereabouts of this man; at the same time, she asked Reddington for help, hoping that he would use underground channels to find this Khil Shura.

On Reddington's side, he had just witnessed Carrie and Gina personally killing a group of killers from the Nash drug cartel when he received a call from Elizabeth!

Of course Lao Lei had to help his beloved daughter when she asked for help, but after he made a few phone calls to arrange the search mission, he turned around and found that Carrie had already killed Big Willy and others. He was speechless!

Seeing Reddington's surprised expression, Carrie said bluntly: "Why, you still feel sorry for these guys? What's that look! Help Liz find someone quickly, otherwise, she will ignore you, and I won't care."

Reddington gave him a thumbs up, saying "You're awesome", and then continued to make the call...

Carrie was not fond of killing, but when he captured the first gunman of the Nash drug cartel when he was outside for reinforcement, he sensed their evil and cruelty. His hatred for these drug dealers made him ruthless. With a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he killed everyone along the way, even small gangs like Big Willy in the room were not spared!

As for the conversation between Reddington and Elizabeth, he also heard it, but he was not worried at all. Old Reddington was very reliable when it came to handling such matters.

It turned out that Reddington, the "gatekeeper of the underworld", was quite capable. He quickly found information about the homeless man Kxir through several shelters in the Special Zone that he had previously funded. Someone saw Kxir talking to someone and then getting into a valuable luxury car.

Elizabeth received clues and photos provided by Reddington, and found out that the person who took away Kshire was a man named Rowley Sinclair III. She immediately led people to raid Rowley's hiding place. Although they did not catch Rowley, they saw a room full of human facial anatomy diagrams and cosmetic surgery instruments, and there were dozens of plaster facial models on the shelves!
Abby and Alam were taken to the scene, and after careful investigation and inspection, they determined that these things were what Rowley used to forge and disguise himself as a suspect!

After further analysis, they completely understood how Raleigh created a perfect alibi.

A few months before the crime, the suspect would follow Rowley's instructions to do certain things every day, such as running and buying things. After the residents around him had formed a fixed impression of the suspect, Rowley would use a stand-in who looked similar to the suspect and had undergone plastic surgery and makeup to perform those specific actions on the suspect's behalf on the day of the crime, so that the witnesses would have a wrong impression. In this way, the suspect could carry out the planned crime without having to bear any legal consequences. After the crime, Rowley would not pay the stand-in the agreed high reward, but would kill him to silence him to prevent future troubles.

On the table at the scene, Elizabeth and her team found a newly made human face model, which should be the commissioned project that Raleigh was working on. When they were looking for the corresponding suspect based on the human face model, Reddington and Carrie found Raleigh in advance, who was about to give up the mission and escape after getting rid of the stand-in.

Reddington wants to keep Rowley to serve him, but Carrie wants to kill him directly. The two parties with different opinions, Reddington and Felix, Carrie and Gina, both sides have guns drawn and are on the verge of a fight...

After a dispute, Carrie "reluctantly" agreed to let Reddington supervise Raleigh, claiming that if a similar case happened again, he would take ruthless action and kill the Red Devil as well! Frightened, Raleigh swore a curse to obey Reddington's supervision and protection, and was eventually taken away by Reddington and disappeared!
In fact, Carrie had discussed with Reddington beforehand that Rowley is a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient with almost harsh requirements for details. He is irreplaceable when completing specific tasks, which is exactly what Reddington needs!

Of course, this is mainly because Carrey is not so eager to kill this old man. He needs to get all the case materials and substitute lists that Raleigh has handled. According to American law, there is no second trial for the same crime. Those suspects who escaped the crime will not be tried again for the same crime, but finding these evidences can make them be tried as accomplices to murder and receive belated punishment!

The solution of this case was somewhat dramatic. After receiving the information sent by Carrie, SER was immersed in the verification and implementation of the case files of hundreds of previous cases. This task cannot be completed in a short time. Elizabeth, however, was extremely unhappy and found Carrie to make a fuss, blaming him for colluding with Lao Lei and playing tricks on her!
Carrie didn't really want to hide it from her, so she told her what happened that night to let her know that sending all the criminals involved in the case to prison was not the best outcome. Some of them were best killed outright, while some of them could contribute their residual energy by being kept, which was more realistic!

When Elizabeth was thinking seriously, Carrie comforted her earnestly and made her deeply agree with his point of view...

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Carrie walked to the balcony, smoking a non-toxic cigarette and thinking about the Nash Group. In the original plot, this drug trafficking group originated in South America and has a huge influence in the eastern United States. It has serious infiltration into all aspects of society, not only in the underground world, but also controls many local police. It is not realistic to eradicate it all at once!

Now, he and Reddington have faced off against this criminal group. This is no joke, and a life-and-death battle will soon follow!
In this regard, Carrie has made full mental preparations to see who will die first?
