The Blacklist

Chapter 405: Crisis resolved, Lao Lei is arrested
The conference building of the United Nations headquarters was quickly evacuated according to the emergency plan. Carrie arranged for agents to guard all exits. He specially arranged for Dumby to protect Elizabeth to block the Turkish representative and get the diplomatic briefcase. He and Gina were responsible for dealing with Bastian. According to his memory, he personally guarded the visitor entrance to Beiting!
The agents were strong enough in execution and quickly took their positions, controlling all the entrances and exits to the building. Although they did not prevent people from evacuating, they had all obtained Charles's photo and knew Bastian's current appearance. They were all armed and on high alert!

At the same time, a large number of reinforcements sent by the CTU headquarters and the NY State Bureau arrived, and with the cooperation of the Security Department, they blocked the United Nations headquarters. The detective teams from the DHS (Department of Homeland Security), DSS (State Department Diplomatic Security Bureau), ATF (Agency of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), NYPD (New York Police Department) and other agencies that arrived later were all blocked outside the door!

Behind the security guard's desk on the side of the visitor passage of the conference building, Kerry sat there leisurely, holding a cup of coffee specially provided by the Secretariat, which he didn't like very much but was very suitable for the occasion. He didn't seem to look at the UN employees who were evacuating. But in fact, the smart glasses were constantly displaying the detection screen...

Bastian, dressed in a suit and holding his United Nations work ID, followed the evacuating crowd and walked quickly toward the outside of the passage. He had noticed before that among all the evacuation passages in the building, only this visitor passage was relatively quiet and there were not too many additional police forces. He wanted to get out from here.

Just as Bastian walked to the entrance, Carrie raised her eyes and looked at him coldly!

Seeing the stern eyes of the young man in a suit sitting behind the examination table, Bastian instantly became alert. His years of adventure made him aware of the danger. Seeing a gun-carrying guard beside him maintaining the evacuation order, he took a step forward and wanted to snatch his gun...

At this moment, two gunshots rang out, and Bastian, whose face was Charles, was shot in the head! ——
In the main venue of the United Nations General Assembly building, Elizabeth and Dembe received the diplomatic briefcase from the Turkish representative, but they did not dare to open it!

Twenty minutes later, the staff in the building were evacuated, and Carrie and Gina led Reddington and a drunkard held by Felix in...

Elizabeth was very skeptical about whether Maxwell in this state had the ability to defuse the bomb, and Carrie, who had originally been confident in the plot, also became worried!

As he was about to go forward to check the bomb, Carrie stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Hey, man! Do you know your name?"

"Oh? What did you say?" Maxwell looked at him with drunken eyes.

Carrie turned to Reddington and said, "Lee, what the hell are you doing? He's defusing the bomb in this state. Do you think we're not dying fast enough? Okay, stop explaining, take him away! I wanted to give you a chance to visit the United Nations headquarters, but it seems you don't need it!" Although Reddington was not surprised that he understood his thoughts, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to visit, and hurriedly explained, "Lee, even though this guy is drunk, he has no problem defusing the bomb he made himself..."

"I don't believe it!" Kerry interrupted him and said, "Take him away quickly! I don't want to see him again! Don't worry about the rest, I'll do it!" He didn't know how to defuse a bomb, but he could store the bomb in his personal space and use the modification function of the system mall to directly change the structure and performance of the bomb. It was much more reliable than letting a drunkard defuse the bomb! ——
A few minutes later, accompanied by Elizabeth, Reddington visited the various venues in the conference building, especially the venue of the United Nations General Assembly, which made him very excited. Before, although he was a big shot in the underground world, he had no chance to visit the United Nations in person. This time, he finally fulfilled his wish.

Elizabeth, Dembe, Felix and others were "fortunate" to witness Old Ray's speech at the main venue of the United Nations General Assembly. It was hard to say whether it was respectable or ridiculous, but they all found it extremely funny - Old Ray was like a child, talking nonsense!
On Kerry's side, after clearing the area, it only took a minute to solve the problem. What bomb? It was just a pile of materials! The next finishing work was handled by the New York State Bureau of CTU. Kerry and his men avoided the media's filming and went directly to the airport!

However, the worrying Reddington said he had something to do in New York, so he stayed and got into trouble!
-
It was only after Carrie returned to Washington that she learned that Reddington was arrested by a patrolman while buying pretzels at a street stand in Manhattan, New York, on the grounds that he was carrying an unregistered illegal firearm!

Felix called Demby and said that he had just sent the bomb expert Maxwell away, but when he came back he saw Reddington being handcuffed by several New York police officers and taken into a police car!
As one of the largest local police departments in the United States, the NYPD has a large number of personnel and great power. When they learned that the arrested illegal gun holder was the FBI's number one suspect Raymond Reddington, they immediately regarded it as a rare treasure and reported the matter to the New York District Attorney and Local Court, hoping to make this a typical major case in New York!

At that time, Carrey and the people from the post office were still on the plane. The first person to learn of this situation was Director Donald of the CTU headquarters. He immediately contacted National Security Advisor Cooper, hoping that he would come forward to bail out Reddington...

But no one expected that Holt, the federal prosecutor in charge of major federal cases in the Eastern District, would suddenly intervene, forcibly take over the case, and then hold a press conference to announce that the NYPD had arrested Reddington. Her office would prosecute him for hundreds of federal felonies and would never compromise!
Cooper told Kerry that he had contacted Holt urgently, but Holt was seeking to run for New York governor and considered the matter a major political achievement. He did not give him, a White House adviser, any face and claimed that he would handle the matter impartially.

Carrie cursed in her heart: Damn! It's hard to guard against it. For some reason, the situation has returned to the original plot! The difference is that this time it's not Elizabeth who is stupid. She is not influenced by her silly sister Jennifer to plan and implement this matter like in the plot. But the question that arises is: Who did this?

The problem now is that the immunity documents given to Reddington by various law enforcement agencies and even the president cannot be made public, which makes it impossible for them to publicly rescue Reddington!

The situation is urgent, and everyone hopes that the leader Kerry can come up with an idea!
