The Blacklist

Chapter 376: Saving My Wife Without Killing Someone

Judging from the situation at the scene, it should be Patrice who found Cronin, but was caught and controlled by him instead!

Carey immediately issued an order in the name of CTU, requiring law enforcement agencies to find and intercept Cronin's vehicle.

In a big city like New York, the law enforcement agencies are strong enough and Cronin's car was quickly discovered.

Carey personally directed the operation and ordered the NYPD to block Cronin's car from the front and back, forcing it to stop under an overpass where there was little traffic. He then immediately rushed to the scene with a group of detectives and the CDC emergency team.

After seeing that he was surrounded, Cronin, who originally wanted to kidnap Patrice and take her to the CDC for help, immediately dropped his pistol, got out of the car and demanded medical treatment. At this time, a rash had appeared on his body!
Because the antidote was destroyed in the previous fight, Patrice herself was also infected with the virus, but she was no longer afraid of life and death. She claimed that her husband Dennis was innocent, Cronin was the one who stole the opium, and he killed her husband... Everything she had done before was to find out the truth and redress her husband!

At this point, Cronin still didn't want to tell the truth, but just stumbled forward to ask the doctor at the CDC for help...

What no one present expected was that Carrie would pull out his gun and fire two shots at the ground in front of Cronin. He said in a cold voice, "Cronnin, I believe what Captain Patrice said. If you don't want to tell the truth, then you'd better wait for death!"

At this time, Cronin could no longer stand, fell to his knees, and begged, "Please...save me..."

Unexpectedly, Patrice, who was in a slightly better condition, said, "Captain, please save him. The virus kills in three hours. He has been infected with the virus for more than two hours. He is going to die!"

The agents from law enforcement agencies such as SLR, CTU, FBI, and NYPD outside the blockade were all a little moved. Captain Patrice had a really good heart. No wonder after releasing the virus to infect everyone in the restaurant, she risked her life to go to the hospital to release the antidote. Now everyone had begun to believe her words!
The CDC emergency team was carrying the successfully copied antidote at this time. Seeing that both of them had been attacked by the virus and could hardly hold on, they wanted to step forward to treat them, but were stopped by Gina and the SLR agents.

After a few minutes, Cronin could no longer hold on. In order to save his life, he finally admitted that he had colluded with others to steal opium and killed people to silence them after being discovered by Dennis.

Carrie then put away her gun, and Gina and the others sent a doctor forward to inject the antidote into the two men.

In fact, if it wasn't for seeking justice for the unjustly killed Colonel Dennis, Carey really wanted to shoot Cronin on the spot!
Looking at Patricia, who was lying on the mobile bed with a look of relief and was sent to the closed ambulance, Kerry nodded secretly. He was moved by this woman's loyalty to her husband, and he was ready to do something for her...

Three days later, on Saturday, May 5, the rehabilitated Navy Captain Dennis Edwards was reburied at the Arlington Military Cemetery west of Washington, where he received the treatment he deserved. He was recognized by the DOD as having died in the line of duty and was awarded the First Class Legion of Honor.

Carrey led all the agents of SLR and SER to attend the funeral, and next to him was Patricia, who was pardoned by the military court because of his efforts. Although she lost her military rank and became a civilian, she was specially hired as a civilian researcher by the Naval Medical Research Center, and her salary was even increased by two levels. As the coffin was placed in the tomb, the Navy Guard of Honor fired three volleys to bid farewell to Colonel Dennis, who died in the line of duty, and Patricia took the American flag folded into a triangle from the Secretary of the Navy with tears in her eyes. Although the means were illegal and brought panic and certain harm to the society, she successfully redeemed the innocence of her husband who died unjustly!
After the funeral, Patrice, holding the national flag, walked up to Kerry and the others and bowed deeply, "Thank you! Thank you!"

Kerry nodded, accepting her thanks, and then Gina stepped forward to help her up, gave her an SLR business card, and told her that if she encountered any problems again, she could call for help...

On the way back to the post office, the detectives were all sighing. This case had brought great shock to everyone's thinking. Ask yourself, how many people can do as Patrice did, who, after her lover was killed for being involved in a crime, could firmly believe in his innocence and be willing to sacrifice her own life to clear his name?

Because of this idea, the agents understood and admired Carrie's previous behavior!

On Tuesday, May 5, after spending more than an hour processing the documents that had to be signed by him, Carrie threw away his pen, stood up, walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the jasmine tea that Gina had prepared for him and took a big sip, feeling very refreshed!

During this period of time, he felt that the scented tea was very delicious, so he bought a lot of it from Chinatown, as well as several double-layer glass thermoses made in China. He could make a large cup of it at a time, and although it had nothing to do with tea art, it tasted refreshing and enjoyable, and had a unique flavor.

Elizabeth walked in after taking two sips of tea. She said, "Yesterday evening, the Pennsylvania State Police found a special victim in a forest in Huntington County. They suspected that it was the work of the Capricorn Killer. Agent Brandon Graves, a profiler from the FBI Pennsylvania Branch, contacted me and invited me to come over to help!"

"Capricorn Killer?" Gina asked before Carrie could say anything, "Serial killer? Liz, what does this have to do with you?"

Elizabeth explained: "In 2010, a special killer appeared. The first victim appeared in Tacoma, Washington. She was a female university professor. The cause of death was tied and strangled. She was placed in a strange posture of kneeling on the ground with her face up, with a hand-made sword inserted deep into her mouth. The body was placed in a remote woods with a horned goat skull next to it, so it was named 'Capricorn Killer'.

"In the following three years, there were seven victims, and then the killer disappeared. I was an intern profiler at the New York State Police Department at the time, and I was assigned by the FBI headquarters several times with profilers from other branches to profile criminals. Because my views at the time were different from those of others, I was laughed at..."

Kerry just listened silently, thinking about the plot, but Gina asked with interest: "Liz, why are they laughing at you?"

Elizabeth said, "Other profilers believe that with this killing speed, the 'Capricorn Killer' will soon stop forever due to mental breakdown. Only I think the murderer is just dormant temporarily and will appear again later..."
