The Blacklist

Chapter 385 The Stalker is a Good Policeman
Elizabeth accepted the task and was busy the whole weekend, but she didn't find any new evidence, which made her a little depressed.

On Sunday afternoon, she and Reddington returned to Washington from Baltimore. As soon as they entered the city, Felix, who was in charge of driving, suddenly said, "Boss, someone is following us."

Elizabeth and Reddington were both startled. They looked back and saw a Lincoln car behind them. They wanted to believe Felix's judgment. As an excellent mercenary, he would not make a wrong judgment. But who was following them? Was it Reddington or Elizabeth?

The three people in the car all had enough experience to deal with being followed. Felix tried again by speeding up and turning. After confirming that it was indeed the follower, he prepared to set an ambush and catch him!
As their car turned a corner, Elizabeth and Felix quickly got out and Reddington took over the driving.

Thirty seconds later, the tracking Lincoln drove over, and just as it turned and slowed down, Felix suddenly rushed out from the sidewalk, scaring the driver to emergency brake... Elizabeth then rushed out, opened the passenger door, and pointed a gun at the driver!
-
Half an hour later, in the interrogation room in the basement of the post office, the Lincoln driver who was brought in with his head covered had his hood removed, but he was locked in a chair and couldn't move at all! He shouted for a long time, but no one paid attention to him!
In the observation room on the other side, Elizabeth reported to Carrie about how they caught the stalker. When she finished, Aram next to her continued, "The black man in a suit is called Ott Singleton. He is a senior detective in the Major Crimes Unit of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the DCPD. It is not clear why he is following Liz or Reddington!"

Carrie, who had remained silent, said, "Liz, you and Nawabi go and interrogate him to find out why he followed you or Reddington?"

Elizabeth nodded, turned around and went out. When she was at the door, she smiled and said, "Maybe he likes Felix!"

The result of the interrogation surprised everyone - Detective Singleton has been tracking down Reddington, the FBI's most wanted criminal, and has been following all his news for the past few years. After Elizabeth went on live TV two years ago, he suspected that she had a direct connection with Reddington and began a secret investigation, finding out her work department and some of her life... Because he knew that CTU members were not something he could investigate, he began to follow them privately...

After asking about the matter clearly, it was a bit difficult to deal with! Without a clear answer, Detective Singleton would definitely not give up, but if he had to give an answer, what should he give?
In the end, it was Carrie who made the decision. She let Elizabeth take the dedicated detective to visit SER and introduced Reddington's special contribution to American security, which successfully shocked him!

After being surprised, Singleton apologized to Elizabeth and even offered to join SER...

Elizabeth, who had been taught by Carrie in advance, talked about the infiltration of the Nash drug cartel into the East Coast states, especially pointing out that the cartel bribed, lured or threatened the drug enforcement officers in various local police departments. In short, it has controlled many people... Therefore, Elizabeth hopes that Detective Singleton can continue to stay in the DCPD and provide SER with reliable information to crack down on the Nash cartel and find the corrupt police.

Singleton finally agreed to the suggestion, but hoped to have the opportunity to join SER in the future. After receiving a hint from Carrie, Elizabeth said she would record it!
Afterwards, after a few days of silence in the underground world, a piece of news began to circulate: Navarro, the head of the Nash Group in Washington, was captured by the DEA and surrendered to the government in order to save his life...

Then, the powerful Nash Group received "confirmed news" from the DCPD: Navarro would be questioned at a hearing in a temporary detention center in the Western District Court. As long as he provided effective intelligence about the Nash Group, he would be exempted and added to the witness protection program. The hearing would be held in two days... The news was "inadvertently" revealed by Detective Singleton when he was chatting with his colleagues. When Reddington received feedback from the underground world, it was confirmed that there were indeed corrupt police in the police station.

In this regard, Detective Singleton is determined to cooperate with SER! ——
SER had already set up signal interception and tracking equipment in the temporary detention center, just waiting for someone to take the bait.

Two days later, the gunman showed up, and SER's equipment intercepted a suspicious cell phone signal! Aram traced it back to the source and the receiving phone, which were both prepaid disposable phones. The source phone was outside the detention center, but the receiving phone was in the DCPD Criminal Investigation Bureau!

However, the call was short and Alam was unable to determine a more accurate address. There were hundreds of people outside the detention center and inside the DCPD Criminal Investigation Bureau, and with the current intelligence, no action could be taken.

Elizabeth, who was a little impatient, wanted to call the disposable phone in the police station again so that Singleton, who was in the police station, could determine the location of the phone. However, she was stopped by Carrie because it was too dangerous and might kill Singleton!

For Carey, this time it is enough to have solid evidence to prove that there are corrupt police officers in the DCPD. It is a good idea to have Singleton as a thorn in the DCPD, and keeping him will be very beneficial for his future work.

On Wednesday, Reddington provided Carrie with new information that Jerry Javar, the controller of the Port of Baltimore, was murdered not long ago, and his other identity was a partner of the Nash drug cartel, who transported drugs by falsifying import and export documents...

After some work, Reddington had "persuaded" Jerry's mind and was about to get the transportation ledger of the Nash Group, but at this moment, he was shot in his study. Therefore, Reddington suspected that it was someone sent by the Nash Syndicate.

After studying the case, SER agents believed that this should be a hate crime - Jerry was an Indian immigrant. After taking over the Port of Baltimore two years ago, he replaced all his staff with Indians. He was hated by the local far-right organization "United Team" that believed in white supremacy. They should have planned the attack!

Carrie did not comment on this and issued an arrest warrant according to Elizabeth's wishes, asking SER to arrest the leader of the far-right organization, Kugan Hudnut.

This Kugan has good tricks. He has not been caught for several days in a row. He is hiding very well!
In order to find the account book, Reddington took Felix and others directly to the "United Team"'s hideout. After killing several people, they captured Coogan. After torturing him, they confirmed that he did not kill Jerry, nor did he take Jerry's account book.
