The Blacklist

Chapter 401: Underground Gold Medal Plastic Surgeon
After Elizabeth and Gina left, Carrie and Reddington got down to business.

After hearing about the "Polaris Project" and Tom's undercover mission in that strange town in Russia, Reddington thought about it for a while. Finally, he thought that if this town was Russia's base for training agents and sending them to the United States, then he had never heard of this place before through his channels. There are only two possibilities: either the confidentiality level of this town is extremely high, or this matter is a scam!

Kerry originally thought that the town's story was just a side story, but after hearing what he said, he became a little confused! Thinking about it carefully, this side story does have a bug, and it's not small, especially since he has changed a lot of the main storyline!
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and called Tom, but found that the other party's phone was turned off. He knew that the other party should have arrived in Russia and started to carry out the undercover mission, and he felt a little uneasy.

Reddington also thought about it and said, "Lee, don't worry, I still have a lot of friends in Russia, I will follow up on this matter! Oh, by the way, there is a blacklist target, you leave it to Liz..."
-
Gina personally escorted "Poppy" to the CTU headquarters and handed over the subsequent handling of matters to Director Donald.

Donald has also initially adapted to the days as director during this period, but he still feels aggrieved when he sees Gina - he feels aggrieved that he was deceived and put on the table by Carrie, and was turned from an operations director into an administrative official, trapped in a mountain of documents and meetings every day!
However, Donald himself knew that Carrie meant well, because he and his wife Audrey already had two children, a boy and a girl, both of whom were still young. The focus of his life was not only work but also family and even income. If he had not been pushed into this position, he might have been worried about credit card bills from time to time!

Of course, even so, he had no intention of letting Carrie go - he asked Gina to go back and tell them that Carrie wanted to treat them to a meal, not just once, but often!

Of course Gina agreed with a smile, and she even brought people to openly pile up a large number of baby supplies that she and Elizabeth had selected and Carrie had paid for in Donald's office, saying that these were given to the children by the godfathers and godmothers, and he was not allowed to refuse!
This behavior was of course intentional. The fact that First Deputy Director Kerry was a wealthy man thanks to his technology patents and investment income had long been known throughout CTU. It was also obvious that he and the new Director Donald were comrades and brothers. No matter how much money was spent, no one dared to complain! —
Elizabeth did not go to the headquarters because she received a new blacklist target from Carrie!
In the SER command hall, Elizabeth pointed to the photos of the characters on the big screen and introduced the situation: "Hans Kohler, the gold medal plastic surgeon in the underground world!

"Hans graduated from the Medical School of Heidelberg University in Germany and was the attending physician of the Department of Reconstructive Surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Later, he organized a mobile medical team to travel around the world, using advanced 3D modeling technology and surgical techniques to perform face transplants for clients...

“Over the years, Hans has helped many big criminals get away with a clean slate!

"According to Reddington's intelligence, not long ago, Dr. Hans performed surgery on a patient in a bakery that was closed for renovation on Petworth Street near George Washington University..."

In the subsequent operation, Nawabi and Duke led the team to investigate the bakery, which had just been renovated and was ready to open the next day. Although the owner protested angrily, the SER agents still conducted a thorough search of the store and finally found traces of blood in the drain pipe.

Forensic personnel tested the DNA in the blood and compared it with the criminal database, confirming that it came from the Greek underground arms dealer Bessel Vladakis.

Of course, it is up to Reddington to find people from the underground world. Although Bessel should have changed his appearance, Reddington knows that he is addicted to horse racing. He believes that it is easy to change one's face but difficult to change one's character!
Reddington took Felix and others to the horse farm that Bessel often went to, and soon discovered that Bessel had a completely different face - his behavioral habits could not be changed!
Bessel was terrified when he was caught by Reddington, because he owed Reddington a sum of money before, and he was discovered just after changing his appearance. He was even more afraid of being seen with Reddington!
Reddington had no sympathy for him. He not only wanted him to pay back the money, but also wanted him to tell the whereabouts of Dr. Hans! Bessel certainly knew the Red Devil's methods and promised to pay back the money, but for Dr. Hans, he only knew an emergency mobile phone number for emergency medical situations. The other party was a nurse.

Later, the nurse was called to the stable by Bessel, but she said she had received a text message from Dr. Hans saying that he was on vacation in France.

Reddington knew that Hans hated France and it was impossible for him to go there for vacation, so he asked for the nurse's cell phone and sent the SMS number to Elizabeth, asking her to find out where the phone that sent the text message was.

Elizabeth arranged for Alam to look up the mobile phone number, but found out that the location where the text message was sent was Washington!

When Reddington and SER agents arrived at the location one after another, they found that Dr. Hans' entire medical team was lying in a pool of blood, and a group of unidentified armed men were evacuating!

In the ensuing gunfight, most of the militants were killed, but three of them managed to escape by car.

Reddington immediately went to the dying Dr. Hans. It was obvious that they knew each other. Hans said a few words in his ear and then closed his eyes and left!

Although no survivors were captured, SER still found out the identities of several militants who were shot dead and confirmed that they were all subordinates of the anti-globalist extremist Bastien Moreau, who is also one of the most terrifying killers in the underground world. Any global organization or conference may become his target of attack.

But the problem now is that Dr. Hans and his team are all dead, and no one knows what they have become, making it impossible for them to track them!
In addition, Hans and his team had shackles on their ankles, which means they did not volunteer to perform surgery on Bastian, which also shows that there was a reason why they were silenced.

Based on these circumstances, it can be inferred that Bastian, who has changed his appearance, is either planning a major operation or preparing to disappear, but everyone thinks that it must be the former!
At this time, DCPD reported that the fleeing vehicle was found at Reagan International Airport with two bodies in the car, but Bastian was missing.

SER, ICE, and DCPD jointly blocked all entrances and exits of the airport. During the inspection, the body of an airport employee was found in the bathroom, but according to the clock-in records, the person had already left the airport after get off work!
