The Blacklist

Chapter 424: Case handling is subject to my approval
Tom was talking about Matt: "Boss, you see, Matt has been promoted to senior auditor for some time now, but he is still only a deputy in my team. I wonder if you can transfer him back to LSR..."

"Why, are you not satisfied with his work?" Carrie looked at him in surprise, obviously not expecting him to make such a suggestion.

"Of course not." Tom said hurriedly, "Matt's working ability is very strong, stronger than mine, and he is good at action and has organizational skills. I just want to give him more opportunities."

Kerry thought about it and felt that what he said made some sense, so he said, "Okay, call him over and I'll ask for his opinion. If he has his own ideas, I'll take him away this time!"

That night, Carrie, Gina, and Matt took Brian back to Washington, and Wallace was handed over to the CTU New York State Bureau. Carrie's instructions were: educate him, show some respect, leave contact information, guarantee the possibility of future use or cooperation, and then let him go.

On the Halcyon side, Susan heard that it was Carrie who came personally to take Brian away. She had no choice but to inform the CIA about this, claiming that CTU was a powerful government law enforcement agency and that no demands could be made against it at the company level. If CTU had any opinions on this matter, she would have to contact them on her own!
Before the CIA had time to make a decision on the matter, the NSA came first. Its director Roger Stanton directly called the director of CTU, Donald, and asked to accept Brian Mayhew, but was directly rejected. It was claimed that this was the decision of CTU's first deputy director Richard Carey, and that he had the limitations of a director and could independently decide the case handling process, and no one could interfere!

At the post office, after Carrie came back, she ignored the interference from the outside world and went straight to have a deep talk with Brian, and understood the inside story clearly.

Brian Mayhew is a rare top hacker in the United States, but he is also a person who is extremely sensitive to government behavior. After learning that the NSA has the right to monitor domestic and foreign communications and online emails, he began to doubt its excessive power and its actual implementation. So he used technology to search the Internet for evidence of the NSA's surveillance of civilians and private enterprises, and he found a lot of relevant information...

Just as Brian was collecting evidence and preparing to publicly expose the NSA's surveillance of public communications, he was accused by the NSA of stealing US missile design drawings and sending them to hostile countries. The crime scene was in a mid-range Internet cafe!

After Brian painstakingly planned and implemented the jailbreak, he used the key obtained by Wallace to download the surveillance video in the Internet cafe that day from the NSA backup database.

After just watching the video footage, Carrie was certain that there were armed men in the Internet cafe who were shot dead in the warehouse not long ago, and Abby found out that they were employees of Jack Company, the CIA's black prison security contractor!
On Sunday morning, before Carrie had time to arrange today's investigation, CIA Director Terrence Laurier and NSA Director Roger Stanton came to the post office, accompanied by Jack Wilson, the owner of Jack Network Security Company.

Carrie did not show a good face to the three of them and received them in the conference room. The black prison built by the CIA was set up by the NSA to protect Brian, who was secretly framed. Jack Security Company was responsible for the specific implementation. Their purpose of coming this time was to ask Carrie to hand Brian over to prevent future troubles.

Carrie held her big teacup and looked coldly at the three people across the conference table. She didn't even offer them a cup of coffee. She asked, "Two directors and a boss, what do you want from me? Come on, don't beat around the bush. I don't have that much time!"

Both CIA and NSA are law enforcement agencies at the same level as CTU. The two directors are usually influential figures in the domestic and international intelligence circles. They found it difficult to accept Kerry's cold attitude at this time and were so angry that they didn't want to speak!
Jack Wilson had no choice but to speak first: "Director Kerry, we know that Brian Mayhew is holding you here now, but he is a cybercriminal as defined by CAI and NSA, and our company is a contractor for the 'Davenport' project and has the authority to arrest the fugitive Brian..."

Kerry glanced at him, raised his hand and gestured, "Gina, catch this guy!"

"Yes, boss!" Gina next to her agreed and waved her hand. Two fully armed action team members standing in the conference room stepped forward and controlled Jack Wilson!
Directors Laurel and Stanton were both shocked, but Jack started shouting, claiming that he was a senior defense contractor and that Carrie had no right to arrest him...

His noise made Kerry unhappy, so he turned around to take a look. An action team member immediately punched him in the stomach, causing him to convulse. He could no longer scream and was dragged out immediately!

Seeing the expressions of the two directors, Kerry said, "Terence, Roger, you two are half a level higher than me in terms of administrative level, and you are my seniors in age. I should have given you face, but the partners you chose this time are really unreasonable!
"Terence, where your CIA's black prison is located is none of my business, but it would be a big mistake to let someone like Jack manage it! In two days, after this case is settled, you will get our detailed report and find out what Jack has done!
"Roger, you really shouldn't feel sorry for Jack, because he did a lot of bad things in the name of the NSA. Just like in this case, Brian Mayhew was completely framed by Jack, and it was actually Jack who sold intelligence to Iran!
"Jack was framed as a traitor who sold out national intelligence, but Jack Wilson got a cyber security contract worth hundreds of millions from the NSA because of the need to strengthen cyber security! Isn't that ridiculous?"

The two directors were speechless after hearing this. After a long silence, they said in succession: Regarding the handling of this matter, they, CIA and NSA, support CTR's decision and will work hard to cooperate!
-
At Halcyon Shield, Susan received a notice from the CIA that the commission to hunt down the fugitive was successfully completed and the commission was paid in full, but she couldn't be happy - because she had met Frank and Eva before, but when she saw the photo of the adopted child they took out, she found that it was not her son Christopher!

Tom was also surprised when he learned the result from Susan's assistant Carlson, but he immediately reacted: No wonder Howard didn't care about Susan's investigation into his adoptive parents before, it turned out that he had arranged everything in advance, and solved the problem with just a fake photo, shattering Susan's hopes!
