The Blacklist

Chapter 395 Elizabeth successfully solves the case
A few days after returning to Washington, SER's agents were busy completing the report on this case. Carrie naturally would not do such a thing, so she pushed it to Gina and others. Seeing that everyone was almost busy by the weekend, Carrie called Reddington and asked him to provide another blacklist task immediately.

On September 9, another Monday, Elizabeth received another case handed over by Reddington, involving the blacklisted figure Sutton Ross!
This time, Reddington came to SER in person to introduce the case. He pointed to the photo on the big screen and said, "Sutton Ross, alias Max Birmingham, has been known for stealing and selling various high-tech technologies since the late 1980s. He was defined as a high-tech broker by the FBI.

"At that time, if an organization or a country wanted to obtain a certain technology but did not want to develop it, they would definitely place an order with him! Of course, he is not young now, he should be over 60.

At this point, Reddington looked at the agents, motioned for Aram to bring up new surveillance footage, and said, "Just yesterday, Sutton Ross and his men, posing as FBI agents and carrying a forged search warrant, seized the Orthodox Robotics Company and detained a large amount of the company's technical data on the spot...

“But what’s interesting is that after the company’s lawyer objected to the search warrant, Ross and his men actually abandoned all the information and the handcuffed company executives and fled!
"Don't you think this is strange?"

Hearing this, Elizabeth asked, "And then?"

"Then it's up to you to investigate!" Reddington spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I think there must be something wrong with what Ross did, but it's up to you to find out what the problem is!"

At this point, he added, "Oh, by the way, I told Lee about this case in advance. He said he would give it to Liz to handle. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. Just treat it as a training exercise!"

Of course, Lao Lei also agreed with this in his heart - it was a good thing that his daughter became the director of SER, but her ability really needed to be improved, and the training method proposed by Lee was very necessary! ——
After Reddington explained the relevant situation and left, the SER agents began to examine this blacklisted person...

After some research, Elizabeth had no choice but to start with yesterday's new case. She took Nawabi and Dembe to the Orthodox Robotics Company, and learned from their legal advisor that the group of people who pretended to be FBI agents to search the company was just a smokescreen. Their real purpose was to steal three data hard drives related to the company's special project "Project Rafferty"!

Under Elizabeth's questioning, the company's legal counsel said that the Rafferty Project was just a personal research of the company's chief technology officer, Ravi Desai, and that Ravi was on vacation that day and not in the company. As for how much loss the theft of the three hard drives would cause, the company had no way of assessing it because they had not yet contacted Ravi, who was on vacation with his children!

After Elizabeth and others got the information and returned to the post office, Alam became excited when he heard about this. He was a loyal fan of Ravi and was fascinated by his ideas and research in the field of robotics. He often paid attention to his updates in the news and social networks.

Through extensive investigations, Alam found relevant information about the "Rafferty Project" and discovered that this was a concept and plan for exoskeleton design that was very forward-looking!
However, according to a survey of the company's technical staff, the plan is more of Ravi's personal idea. If you want to know the details, you can only ask Ravi Desai who is on vacation!
The agents immediately concluded that under these circumstances, Sutton's next target would definitely be Ravi. Aram was extremely concerned about the safety of his idol, and immediately checked Ravi's whereabouts. He found out from social networks that Ravi's schedule that night was to accompany his two children to the Kitteridge Theater to watch a movie.

Checking the time, Elizabeth immediately set off for the theater with the agents.
-
On the other hand, Reddington received a rumor in the underground world: After Sutton was wanted by the FBI, he believed that it was the Red Devil who betrayed him to the FBI, so he has been clamoring to retaliate against him! So he has a good reason to solve this trouble in advance!

Then, he found Sutton's accountant by threatening the tailor who made Sutton's custom clothes, and learned about Sutton's whereabouts, so he decided to take him to the cinema that night to try to solve the problem at one time and help Elizabeth at the same time.

When Reddington and his men arrived at the Kitteridge Theater, they found Elizabeth and other SER agents engaging in a gunfight with Sutton and his men, so they stepped forward to help.

Sutton let his men lead the way while he escaped through the back door with Ravi. Elizabeth and Dembe drove in pursuit, and Reddington and Felix also followed closely.

On the way, Elizabeth and Dembe's car accidentally hit a roadside trash can and had a car accident. Reddington ignored Sutton who was escaping and asked Felix to stop the car to treat them...

Forensic personnel checked the mobile phone of Sutton's men who were shot dead in the theater, and found a text message sent to a foreign number. The country code at the beginning was 381, which refers to Serbia.

Aram found out that the competitor of "Orthodox Robotics" was none other than Serbia's AXF Robotics Company, and two of its executives happened to enter Dallas this morning. He believed that the two were most likely here for Project Rafferty and Ravi; he then cracked the encrypted text message and found out that it referred to a meeting at an abandoned pharmaceutical factory in Adams Morgan at 3pm.

So, Nawabi and Duke rushed to the hotel where the executives of AXF Robotics were staying and secretly arrested the two. Then, Elizabeth decided to send Brian and Duke disguised as executives to make the contact. They successfully rescued Ravi and his two children and arrested Sutton.

Carrie did not interfere in the investigation of the entire case, but Reddington couldn't help it, which made Carrie laugh at him for being a daughter slave!
However, the case was handled successfully and Elizabeth delivered a satisfactory answer.
