The Blacklist

Chapter 384 The Corrupt Police Are Likely a Gang
After getting the information, Elizabeth insisted on being responsible for investigating this clue, and Carrie had no choice but to agree and let her take Dumby with her.

That afternoon, the two drove a Ford SUV with a civilian license plate to the Kaufman Food Company in the North District, but found that there was only a dilapidated old factory area and there were not even any workers, which showed that this food company was a complete cover.

Just as the two were racking their brains over where to find Navarro, Dembe spotted a few hooligans with nothing to do on the side of the road, and said, "Liz, have you seen those hooligans? They must be gang members. They're keeping watch and distributing goods on the side of the road."

"You mean they have drugs?" Elizabeth's eyes lit up.

"Probably not." Dunby said, "They won't just put the drugs on their bodies. They will only take the drugs after negotiating the price with the buyer..."

Elizabeth nodded, then asked, "They are distributing goods next to Kaufman Foods. Could they be Navarro's men?"

"It's hard to say." Dembe was not sure.

Elizabeth thought for a moment and said, "Then let's catch one and ask him and we'll find out!"

Then, the two of them switched seats, with Dembe sitting in the back seat. Elizabeth drove around for a while, then stopped at the entrance of an alley on the street and waved at a hoodlum with an afro leaning against a wall on the side of the road...

When the gangster saw that it was a woman driving, he walked over without a care and started teasing her: "What's wrong, beautiful lady? Is there something wrong?"

Elizabeth asked directly: "You are Navarro's men, right? Where is he?"

Hearing this, the gangster's face changed and he waved his hand, "I'm not anyone's subordinate... Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Elizabeth did not get angry, and continued in a calm tone: "Isn't this Navarro's territory? Why don't you even know the boss?"

The gangster was furious. He reached out and grabbed Elizabeth in the car, cursing, "You bitch! Are you looking for trouble?" Before he finished cursing, he felt a coldness on his wrist. A pair of silver handcuffs were locked on his wrist, and the other end was handcuffed to the steering wheel! He hurriedly shouted, "Ah! What are you doing?"

Elizabeth started the car again and drove forward, saying, "You look strong, so running should be no problem!" As she spoke, she exerted force with her feet, and the speed of the car gradually increased, getting faster and faster!
"Ah... Stop now!... You fucking idiot..." The gangster's right hand was handcuffed to the steering wheel inside the car, so he had to run after the car. As the speed increased, he soon couldn't keep up and was about to be dragged to the ground! "Shit!... I don't know who Navarro is... My superior is Mark..."

Just when the gangster was about to fall, Elizabeth stepped on the brakes, turned around and looked at the panting gangster outside the car, and said calmly: "Then take me to see this Mark!" At this time, Dembe got out of the car from the back door and carried the frightened gangster into the car...

More than 40 minutes later, Elizabeth and Dembe gave Mark a beating and found a restaurant based on his confession. According to Mark, these minions could not see Boss Navarro at all, and all the drug money received from the shipment would be handed over here. The restaurant owner must know where Navarro is!

Although the restaurant owner was not good-looking, he was very arrogant. When he heard that the two men were looking for Navarro, he actually pulled out a pistol, but was shot by Elizabeth and his knee was broken!
After Elizabeth summoned a team of SER field operations team to clean up the mess, she and Dembe immediately rushed to capture Navarro...

As the leader of a low-level gang, the tall and strong Navarro was fierce enough. When he found something wrong, he opened fire first. In the ensuing gunfight, he was shot dead on the spot by Elizabeth and Dembe!
Although a large amount of drugs and drug money were found in the subsequent search, this clue was broken after Navarro's death, which made Elizabeth a little depressed.
-
After listening to the reports of the two people, Carrie didn't take it seriously. People like Navarro were dead, so they died. However, he remembered that there was something very interesting on him, which he could check.

Following his instructions, the forensic doctor found an artificial eyeball from the left eye of Navarro's body, which actually contained a high-tech microchip! Abby, who had been told by Carrie, put the eyeball in a screen box.

Afterwards, Abby studied the microchip in the eyeball in the shielded room and determined that its function was positioning. By using the microcurrent of the human body to power it, it could send its current location through a nearby radio terminal. After deliberately running it, Abby reversely looked up an address!

Elizabeth, who had been prepared, quickly went out with Dembe, Nawabi and others to 1275 New Jersey Avenue and broke into the house. The building was empty at this time, but a damaged server equipment was found in the basement. Although the data could not be obtained, its sophisticated workmanship clearly showed that it was not an ordinary product, which gave them a clue to track down.
-
After searching for a long time, Abby identified the manufacturer of the microchip, but could not find out who manufactured the artificial eyeball and the server that received the chip data. She could only determine that these were not mass-produced products but should be custom-made items.

However, after hearing about this, Reddington, who knew nothing about technology, thought of such a person in the underground world, nicknamed "Toymaker", and even knew his real name was Cleveland Bandicoot.

Afterwards, Reddington took Elizabeth and others to find Cleveland, a high-end player who was immersed in making various electronic products. He didn't know the name of the person who commissioned the production of artificial eyeballs and servers, but based on his experience, he believed that the person was most likely a policeman.

Elizabeth, Demby, Nawabi and others exchanged knowing glances when they heard this. This was right! Ian, who was shot dead by Carrie before, was the detective of the NYPD's drug enforcement team. Now the person who commissioned Cleveland to manufacture the equipment was most likely a policeman, which meant they had found the right way!

After returning to the post office, under the chairmanship of Kerry, everyone held a case analysis meeting to summarize the current situation. They all felt that the corrupt police in NYPD or DCPD, and even in the police departments of various states on the East Coast should not be isolated cases. One possibility is that many people have been dragged into the Nash Group, and another possibility is that these corrupt police have become an organized gang. In comparison, the latter situation is more serious.

Carrey asked Elizabeth to investigate the case, but no case was filed for the time being. There was only an order signed by him to launch an investigation project code-named "N18066", and the executor was Elizabeth Keane.
