The Blacklist

Chapter 436 Saving Patients and Going to Luxembourg
After entering the Pearson house, Alam used the materials he brought to build a Faraday cage in Jamie's bedroom, which could completely block wireless signals.

But what Alam didn't expect was that the anxious Pearson immediately cut off the power supply of Jemi's pacemaker after learning that the signal was blocked. He believed that although arrhythmia was dangerous, it was better than losing life.

Then, Pearson was about to take Jie Mi to the hospital to perform surgery to remove the pacemaker, but at this moment, his cell phone rang...

After "Mouse" discovered that Jemi's pacemaker signal had disappeared, he called Pearson directly to threaten him, saying that he had taken control of his company's server and randomly selected one thousand people from more than 24 pacemaker users, demanding that he hand over six million worth of bitcoins within hours, otherwise the pacemakers of those one thousand people would send out fatal electric shocks!

The situation was urgent and the agents were all having a headache. Elizabeth could only call Carrie down. She and her colleagues believed: The boss must have a way!
After pretending to think for a while, Kerry said, "Liz, ask Pearson for a list of all patients who use their company's pacemakers and find out who has abnormal conditions."

Elizabeth hurriedly arranged for Nawabi and Dunby to do this, but turned around and asked on behalf of everyone: "Lee, do you think there is a problem with these patients?"

At this time, Aram just came back. Seeing him, Kerry asked, "Aram, I saw in the information that patients who use Pearson's pacemakers will be equipped with a home monitoring system, which needs to be upgraded regularly. Did you see the monitoring system in his home?"

"I saw it," Aram said. "This monitor is directly connected to the wireless network and is used to monitor the patient's pacemaker operation. Its built-in management program is upgraded three or four times a year."

Kerry said, "Well, that means that the 200,000 pacemaker users all have these monitors installed at home. If the 'rat' wants to invade the company's services and remotely control the pacemakers, these monitors are the most convenient channel ports."

Elizabeth reacted and said, "Lee, you mean that this 'rat' is among these pacemaker users?"

Kerry nodded and said, "That should be the case. Let's see the result!"

After some effort, Alam found an abnormal person among pacemaker users. This person was not a patient, but bought a pacemaker but never used it. He also paid monthly fees and upgraded his home monitor on time.

Aram found his information and introduced him: "Oleg Gromov, a Russian who is staying in the United States with a complicated visa. He is the only one found to be in this situation..."

"This should be the 'rat'." Kerry nodded and said, "Catch him!"

In order to find Oleg, Elizabeth personally talked to Pearson and persuaded him to transfer six million bitcoins to the designated account as requested by the "rat".

After receiving Carrie's order, Abby quickly found the other party's IP address and tracked it to a coffee shop in Georgetown; while Korsha tried his best to track the flow of Bitcoin...

Elizabeth led the team to capture Oleg, while Carrie personally went out with Gina, Jiva and others to Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, based on the flow of Bitcoin tracked by Korsha. The actions of both agents were very successful. Elizabeth and others successfully captured Oleg and killed two gunmen who intended to kill him on the spot; Carrie captured the "crypto banker" in the lobby of the First Bank of Maryland!
Nawabi and Demby interrogated Oleg and obtained the serial code. Alam cracked the "rat" program, regained control of the server, and restored the security settings for a thousand pacemaker users.

After catching the "crypto banker", Carrey immediately interrogated him personally and learned that he had laundered five million worth of Bitcoin for a Cairo man and finally transferred the money to an account at a Luxembourg Trust Bank, but he did not know the name and identity of the account owner.

On Wednesday, Elizabeth stayed at the post office to arrange the move, while Carrie and Gina hid their identities and flew to Luxembourg with Reddington to investigate the bank account. They would use force if necessary.

On the plane, Reddington introduced him: "The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has been vigorously developing its financial industry for a long time because of its small territory. This small country with a territory of less than 2600 square kilometers and a population of more than 60 has 150 banks. It is the world's eighth largest financial center and the largest fund management center in Europe. The global assets managed by the banking industry exceed 3 trillion euros...

"Luxembourg Trust Bank is well-known for its high confidentiality for its customers. In fact, people in the financial circle all know that their business is mostly for money laundering in illegal industries. Therefore, they pay special attention to confidentiality and defense. They have a security level that is no less than that of the Federal Reserve. It is basically impossible to break in from the outside!

"In this case, if we want to get their account information, we have to find a way from within..."

Hearing this, Kerry, who was drinking beer, laughed and said, "Then arrest their president. I'd like to see which he would choose between being victimized and leaking customer information."

Reddington looked at him in surprise and said, "Lee, have you forgotten that you are a law enforcer?"

"I haven't forgotten!" Carrie said, "Isn't this done to combat money laundering? It doesn't contradict my sense of justice!"

Reddington was stunned, but Gina, Felix and others who were listening to the two people talking nearby were laughing so hard!

After a long while, Reddington sighed and said, "Lee, I think it is a very smart choice for the US government to appoint you as the deputy director of CTU... because if you are allowed to find a job on your own, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Gina nodded in approval with deep emotion beside her. Felix was also an old friend and knew a lot about Carrie, so he nodded repeatedly as well.

After the joke, Reddington still felt that Carrie's method was the most direct and effective, so he asked one of Felix's team members to contact the president of the trust bank and said that the "Red Devils" had an asset that needed to be entrusted, and the amount was over 1 million euros. This kind of thing certainly required a face-to-face meeting, so the two parties agreed on a meeting place.

In a private room of a famous local restaurant, Carrie easily intimidated the bank president who was in his sixties, and the two strong bodyguards he brought with him did not dare to move under the guns of Gina and Felix!
Afterwards, Kerry used the mobile key that the president carried with him to enter the bank system and found the information he needed!
